I'll try!
In 1922 all weapon purchases were banned and private weapons had to be confiscated

In a law passed 1928 all guns had to be registered and only permit holders were allowed to posess a weapon, no exemption!

NAZI RULE:
After disarming Jews, using an edict from the former German Weimar republic, the Nazi government passed a law in 1938 that allowed law abiding citizens the possession of weapons without the need for a permit.
All long barreled weapons and ammo were free for purchase and needed no registration (Austria still retains this law!) Only sidearm were regulated.
Members of gun clubs (Schützenvereine) were exempt from needing any permit - most gun clubs were (and today still are) considered right wing organizations.
Members of the NSDAP Nazi party were exempt of the need to apply for a weapons permit to possess and carry weapons.
Weapons were forbidden to Jews, Gypsies, convicted felons, homosexuals and members of subversive groups (socialists and communists). They were not allowed any kind of weapons or ammo - including knives and swords!

The general German population has been encouraged to arm themselves and at the same time, the opposition has been disarmed. Most political enemies of the Nazis have by then been convicted or set on a list disallowing them any kind of armament.

The Wikipedia entry in English is missing the interesting part. Try the German one with Google translate:

P.S. The guy modding me a troll deserves to burn in hell! :)

You are a Nazi but not aware of it. I pity your people for having to put up with shit like you,
Have a nice day!

Ich bin geborener Deutscher du Amerikanischer Sack voller Scheiße! Try google translate you fucking imbecile

Thats a bullshit argument! Even the nazis armed the German population, shortly after coming to power - contrary to what NRA idiots keep repeating! Armed citizens are the backbone of every totalitarian state because the most violent ones will be the first to shoot with the states blessing!

From Wikipedia:

The Ukrainian army are not civilians. But, while we are there, they are shelling cities full of civilians!

Still enough to fire a short range AA rocket. And equipped with those, the service ceiling is 7000m (MH17 was at 10000)

The pro-Yanukovich parliamentary members were not allowed to enter the Ukrainian parlament, and hence there was no majority for an impeachment.
This was a coup d' etat without any legal backing!
Also, in the meanwhile all pro-Russian parties and east Ukrainian backers in Kiev have been forbiden and arrested.

Look at it this way:
With the help of US and EU "counselors", a group of demonstrators, backed by Ukrainian neonazis ousted the democratically elected (pro-Russian) president Yanukovich.instead there is a government in place that forbade the use of Russian language (which is the predominant language in the east), and quite a few of the new cabinet members called for driving out all ethnic Russians out of the Ukraine, long before the Crimea incident
A large part of east Ukraine did not accept this. Now, Russia is baking these people, who want their elected president back...
As for the Crimean peninsula, that was give to the Ukraine by Russia, as a gift of friendship in 1957. Since the new Ukrainian government was trying to get NATO support, Russia annexed Crimea to prevent NATYO getting its paws on the Black Sea fleet, which is based there.
Considering that the Ukrainian constitution has been breached by the current governement,many in the east feel that there is no reason for them to keep living with the usurpers from the west.
Now, where exactly does your description of Russia "steamrolling"

And thats the definition of terrorism for you? Just stay the fuck out of Europe, fucktards!

You fucktard forgot what terrorism means? If this DNI info is true, then we have two armies at war, not terrorists fighting civilians!

Apples got a patent on that, and you infringed on it by posting it onto /. ! Please report to them immediately for settlement negotiations :)

Yes, but your future 4k Pr0n will need more than just 100mbps (filtered by Comcast) :)

Yes, and the vendor would have made sure that their platform is backwards compatible. With Industry, I don't limit myself just to IT!

Please Sir, would you be so kind and eat your own shi^H shorts?

This is not just about support, but also about availability and continuity. The fact that YOU did not have to pay a cent means nothing when compared to companies that licenced millions of copies of XP (>2.000.000 ATMs). and that soon will have to switch to another product for replacing old and/or broken machines. By industry standards, Microsoft is an unreliable player!
