Thanks for the warning! :)

You can make an argument for the distros being the same OS. But Android is not the same OS as the others. It shares a kernel, that is all.

possibly, although these days Diebold at least likes to use XP...

What no VMS? No DOS, or GEOS? Slacker!

I have a theory that says young people have a better grasp of cost-benefit analysis.

False hope, making people feel better about reality since 6000 BC.

People don't rape and then murder other people because of a lack of food, they do it because they enjoy it (and they do the murder part so they don't leave any witnesses).

With heck of a lot of weapons supplied by the government of the Soviet Union - much more than just small arms.

The NVA had anti-aircraft artillery and the like, yes, but the VC were mostly running around in the jungle with small arms, setting traps, etc.

Yes, those forces worked because they had weapons, largely small arms, supplied by other governments. When a populace already has its own small arms, it doesn't need a foreign government to supply them.

So you think the Mujahadin would have been victorious just using rocks or bare hands? Are you really that stupid?

There are no companies here "happily" supplying guns to drug cartels. We do have a Presidential administration, however, which happily supplies guns to the drug cartels. Look up "Fast and Furious". Of course, there's individuals or cartel-affiliated people who smuggle guns south of the border, but that's not the USA's fault, that's Mexico's fault for not policing their border. From what I've seen, border crossings going south usually have absolutely no guards at all, and you can just drive right through. You can't complain about people smuggling stuff into your country if you're not going to lift a finger to stop it.
