You can have your opinion, but I don't follow the opinion of someone who hasn't actually experienced it over someone who has.

How about release day? XCOM 2 was torrentable in a fully functioning form less than an hour after it was released. (i am getting it now, simply because I want to play now, and will definitely buy it ASAP, so no lost sale)

You again completely ignored the situation. If you brace for it, very little can knock you down, but if you don't, or can't, even extremely minor impacts can throw off your balance enough to knock you over. I'm not saying it would pick you up off your feet and throw you a dozen yards away, just push you far enough off balance to fall over.

Meet my microphone... He's rather cute ain't he?

Can also use frozen butter... I find it to work better for me. (also reduces peeling)

Torrenting XCOM 2... It came out this morning, and there's already a crack and compressed torrent for it less than 12 hours later. Makes you wonder why companies even bother with DRM in the first place.

You're comparing to Windows 7... 7 doesn't even have a hybrid shutdown capability, and sleep doesn't count in the uptime. (the system isn't actually on in sleep mode, it just sends a slight current to the RAM to prevent it from losing its stored data) Windows 8 and newer went and changed a ton of stuff, (including the timers) all without caring about why things were the way they were previously. (uptime timers are primarily to determine hardware usage times for business systems) Believe it or not, there are much older and simpler designs that perform similarly... The problem with those are that they just aren't quite as durable. (maybe 1000 rounds instead of the OSS 10000 round rating for a 5.56NATO system, probly can't handle the pressure from a .50BMG though)

I'm good with being an uncle... Been one since I was 8. (so 2 decades now) Sorry Jeb, you're just a little too young for me.

You obviously don't realize that people don't brace for an impact from a surprise opening salvo of bullets... If braced, no bullet can knock you down. If not braced, and not readied for the bullets, they can easily knock you over. It's not just a question of physics in relation to the impact felt, as the entire momentum of the object is transferred into the body, regardless of if you feel hardly anything, regardless of the amount of padding, and will push you by that amount. If the impact moves your center of gravity enough, it knocks you down. In addition to all that, you keep pulling back to just a single round assumption, whereas I specified multiple rounds in a very rapid succession. (the total energy would be equivalent to me tossing a 10lb weight into you at 10 mph, it wouldn't hurt much, but you could easily get knocked off balance if you weren't prepared for it)

World of Warships.

World of Warships... Pretty fun. Kinda like a WWII version of the ship combat from Assassin's Creed 4, only in a 'match' setting.

Not everyone...

As I said, it wasn't political... It was in response to him actively putting out information, knowing it would likely kill someone. He attempted to commit murder, indirectly, but that's equivalent to hiring a hitman. Last I checked, all crimes were a part of a full extradition treaty... Only a rare few are limited to specific crimes. Treason is a crime, but only happens if you are a citizen of the country, and is very much a part of every US extradition treaty. Political crimes is such a vague concept that it is effectively meaningless anymore. (I personally consider every politician to be a criminal, so would their actions be political crimes?)

I'm sorry, but I just can't bring myself to see her as anything but my little sister. (no insult intended, I always wanted a little sister that I didn't have to change diapers for)

Agreed, but when it's a simple request to delay releasing the information a few days to keep someone from being murdered, and it's not going to harm anything or anyone to delay, and he refuses, that's the same as attempted murder in my book. (the government agency that made the request didn't really care at that point if he released the info, just so long as they had the time to extract their personnel) When it comes to attempted murder of a US citizen, I am never against trying to extraditing the person responsible. (it could even be argued that it was premeditated since the reason for the delay was included in the request to delay) Most countries have extradition treaties with the USA, meaning if they are a criminal to the USA, the country that has one of those treaties will arrest the criminal and send them to the USA for trial. IIRC Assange was in a country with one of those treaties, so it wasn't in the slightest underhanded IMO. (no blackmail or bribes required to get most countries to honor their extradition treaties)

This is a post.

Cheesy rice with added turkey, and some sort of raspberry flavored drink. (it's a mix you pour in water, tastes like the raspberry flavor from the Brisk raspberry iced tea, it's kinda like Gatorade but sweeter and better for you, and made by one of the guys that originally made Gatorade)

I tend to stay away from Assange references as a negative for the USA, especially since I know someone who very nearly ended up in the land of the not living because of something he 'leaked' at an inappropriate time. (not at liberty to tell you which)

I didn't get to see the first few minutes of the first new episode, but I got the impression that nobody really knows why X-Files was reopened. I would guess that we'll find out why in episode 6.

The site was never designed for mobile use, so there will be issues with access via mobile devices until it is redesigned. (which I hope takes several decades past the end of my life)

ROFL!

There is the problem however that you run into... Just because one government makes a deal with another, it doesn't actually force the opposing government to do anything. What would be a valid example of the USA forcing a government would be if the forced government was violating its own laws to do something. (like was the case with TPB, which violated absolutely no Swedish laws any of the times it was taken down, and none of it fell under US jurisdiction whatsoever)

I'd like to know why? Many torrents are 100% perfectly legal.
