If one were to side with the government, it could be argued that encryption is even more dangerous than guns, because it can be used on a scale that would allow larger numbers of terrorists to organized without the threat of the government being able to track their plans. In that sense, encryption could be argued to lead to more deaths (or at least more horrific ones, see 9/11) than individual gun owners.
To be clear, I am both pro-encryption and "pro-gun". However, spinning the argument to present encryption as a more immediate threat can be done, and quite easily considering the fact that not many people understand it. The argument could even work on pro-gun people!
Gunnery Chief: This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kilotomb bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton's First Law?
First Recruit: Sir! A object in motion stays in motion, sir!
Gunnery Chief: No credit for partial answers, maggot!
First Recruit: Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, sir!
Gunnery Chief: Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire this husk of metal, it keeps going till it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you're ruining someone's day, somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your damn targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a damn firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Chung, we do not "eyeball it!" This is a weapon of mass destruction. You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip!
But the physics of that is entirely wrong. See Olbers' paradox. Eyeballing it is fine; if you miss you will almost certainly never hit anything - it was considered fine to eyeball AA in WWII, and the odds of hitting a friendly fighter there were worse; also there are already plenty of big rocks going fast in space.
If you want to be charitable towards it you can assume it was meant to scare those recruits into submissions so they won't waste precious ammo in deep space battles. Also, the explanation holds in orbital fights when you're shooting downwards (wrt. closest planetary body).
To add to drexel, foam rollers or rumble rollers are great. I've also got an orbital buffer I use on myself that, as funny as it sounds, works amazingly well.
There's something about that last statement that blew my mind. your own personal composer, writing your own personal theme music, specifically designed to catch your current mood, or even modify it.
I re-watched the last gif where he makes good contact over and over because of his action. His head doesn't move a millimetre, it's all body motion. Amazing.
The only reason I jailbroke(?) my 3gs was so that I could use an app that allowed me to adhoc wifi because they wouldn't (even though they could). Would it be fair of them to lock me out?
i don't think so, and i don't believe they would. as stated above, to me, that sounds like a pretty different case..
there are plenty of hacked xboxes around that, similarly, add/expand functionality. i see nothing wrong with that, and looking at kinect, microsoft dosen't seem to mind much either (and in that case, actually seems to encourage it).
i don’t see the issue here as being one about 'jailbreaking' itself, but rather 'jailbreaking for the purpose of theft'. in your example, you've modified your device to download an app that otherwise would not be available via the app store (i'm assuming it was freely offered). but if you had done the same, but were downloading a paid app, let’s say angry brids, for free, then that’s a different story..
