I see you assume anyone not living in a city as being ignorant or stupid. Not true.

The only one making assumptions here is you. Stupid generalisations are just that; stupid.

There's skills learned in the woods and fields that lend themselves very well to combat. Like knowing how to shoot and *hit* your target. It's not just point and pull like in the movies. We won WWII because of these farm-boys.

Right, that and old Caleb rustling up some radar and an atomic bomb or two in the back yard.

just lob a few largish asteroids at our major cities and wait for a year or two

That's the one sure thing to guarantee our survival. Get rid of all the armchair generals that insist that we combat the enemy according to the Geneva convention and take prisoners etc.

+5 I think he's actually serious....hilarious. All hail the pitchfork wielding hordes defending freedom everywhere!

....the people that are doing the heavy lifting in the fields and the mines will get the job done. As usual.

It's probably because they're unburdened by all that knowledge of, you know, actual history.

Submission + - MySQL 0-Day Could Lead To Total System Compromise (helpnetsecurity.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Researcher Dawid Golunski has discovered multiple severe vulnerabilities affecting the popular open source database MySQL and its forks. One of these – CVE-2016-6662 – can be exploited by attackers to inject malicious settings into MySQL configuration files or create new ones, allowing them to execute arbitrary code with root privileges when the MySQL service is restarted. This could lead to total compromise of the server running the vulnerable MySQL version.

My mistake. I was in France in the late 1990s and this was a big concern,

Such an easy mistake to make, oh well.

Still the point remains. An all-powerful centralized state is not good.

Yes, I remember being in Russia in the late 1917s and this was a big concern

The point of the caps was to mock those who desire centralized control. An homage, if you will to Stalin, Mao and other perfect states.

And you really nailed it too!

We (the all-wise, all-knowing bureaucrats) also know that consumption of raw milk products is dangerous therefore you (french, italian, spanish, communities that have been making raw milk cheeses are now declared to be WRONG and OLD FASHIONED. And any production of such products will now be ILLEGAL.................

Of course the fact that no such prohibition exists probably won't stop you from repeating it, will it?

There are some rules with regards raw milk cheese mainly that it has to be produced in a clean environment and it has to be labeled as being produced with raw milk. All of which seems pretty sensible to me.

But don't let me get in the way of a nice rant, try using more caps.

Most of your opinions are highly inferior to my counterparts. Many of my best opinions aren't even available to your puny brain. You have a lot of opinions but pretty much all of them are pretty bad. Most are ill-thought out, don't work, lack logic or are otherwise awful, Quantity does not mean quality.

Submission + - Chrome OS Hidden Feature Reveals Upcoming Support for Android Apps (softpedia.com)

campuscodi writes: A hidden feature in the Chrome OS settings panel reveals upcoming support for Android apps. A user spotted the integration between Google's two main projects when he noticed a quick flash of text in his Chromebook's settings panel.

Taking a closer look, he discovered that Chrome OS was loading his settings page and then hiding one option. That option was filed under a new section called "Android Apps" and read "Enable Android Apps to run on your Chromebook." Further clues in the Chromium project source code confirmed that Google is testing a way to integrate the Google Play Store in Chrome OS.

A man does not go into the bathroom with a woman who is a stranger, period. It is creepy, unsafe, and wrong.

Not in the same stall obviously. And having a urinal in such a shared toilet would be weird.

Other than that, what's the big deal? I don't get aroused by the sound of women flushing, do you? That would be weird.

You want to violate the rights of 50% of the population to satisfy the perversions of 0.2% of the population?

You are seriously messed up in the head.

What right is that? The right to feel threatened by shadows?

From wikipedia:

"Following Anschluss in 1938, the organization fell under the control of Nazi Germany, and the Commission's headquarters were eventually moved to Berlin in 1942.[10] From 1938 to 1945, the presidents of Interpol included Otto Steinhäusl, Reinhard Heydrich........

Who'd have thunk it......thanks...I thought you had him confused with Reinhard Gehlen or something....my bad
