I agree with you. Anyone who looks at my posts will see them as a call for civility; and looking at your posts will show that you are the one who is actually lashing out at me because, clearly as your lack of it has shown, you don't like the idea of being civil to people online. And of course, they would also see that…

Ah, another poignant contribution from my favorite troll

Good, I am glad you feel satisfied. Enjoy spewing bile from the cowardly anonymity of your screen name, and congratulating yourself on it. You're accomplishment is worthy of recognition. Oh, and keep up the gratuitous profanity, it really helps you keep that moral high ground of yours secure :)

PS - please keep 'em…

Interesting, so because of the things I said you think the original poster deserves the ridicule and scorn you heaped onto him in subsequent posts. As always, it's hard to find fault with your logic.

I'm not defending him, I am attacking you. I'm confident that if you strain your mind hard enough, you'll understand this.

The ignorant part is the pot calling the kettle black. I didn't come out of the gate insulting you the way she insulted me in her first post. In fact, I let the first couple of insults slide before…

Even if they did retire it, the military has a long history of 'de-mothballing' well designed systems. Take a look at how many times since WWII the Iowa Class Battleships have been pulled back into service.

Another fun Avenger/Warthog fact: the gun fires its rounds so fast, and so powerfully, that if you were close enough to a target you'd hear the rounds hitting the ground before you'd hear them leaving the A-10.

Agree to disagree; but when it comes to conspiracy theories the best course of action is to calmly, rationally explain to people why evidence is the best way to arrive at a conclusion. If you feel the need to cheapen and embarrass a viewpoint that I share with you by mixing rationality with ridicule, then you can…

If someone as rude and ignorant as you thinks I am doing something wrong, that's what I call a good sign :) have a pleasant evening.

inviting replies != inviting ridicule. You can tell him he's wrong without being a dick about it.

No, I wont. Get over it.

Yeah, I get that Apple is really the hardware for people who don't understand hardware, or want to understand hardware :)

You're really stretching to try and twist what I said into something you can actually argue with. If a claim is not worth investigating, then it's worth ignoring. The only claims that deserve to be ridiculed are ones that have been PROVEN wrong, and people continue to believe in them in spite of the evidence. An…

I had a laptop stolen out of my office once. The thief didn't know that I had an SSH tunnel program installed on the device, which connected itself to the server and gave me the thief's IP address. This was enough for me to narrow down the theifs location to an apartment, which is about as accurate as a GPS fix would…

And I say that meeting ignorance with douchebagery is hardly an improvement. If he's wrong and you have evidence, present it. If he makes a statement that you don't have the ability or the desire to test for correctness, do what the rest of the entire fucking world does and just ignore it.

Are you illiterate? I said that I think his claim is false.

No, if any old jackass was allowed to make a stupid claim; it would be called: The Internet.

I never said he was right, and in fact I don't think he is; but for me to be an insulting ass-hat about it, I would have to have some pretty damning evidence that he is wrong.

Lol, man I always forget that Apples approach to keeping your hardware from being taken from you is never letting you own it in the first place. It just sounds ludicrous to me that I can't just load a new OS onto my phone like I can with Android. I know that makes it harder to steal, but that doesn't sound worth it to…

I assume you mean the source code for the ROM and not the source code for iOS 7, right? Obviously the ROM is open source, and iOS is closed source, which is what makes it less trustworthy.

He's only a dipshit if he is wrong. Have you proved he is wrong?
