It's rarely as simple as this.

It only takes 2 command lines to brick a PC.

I didn't make up a statistic. I merely said the odds are about as likely as winning the Iowa lottery (please play responsibly).

Yes, that is called making up a statistic. I was under the impression most Jews are college educated.

Either way, it is an issue that is harmful to unsuspecting users, and barely useful at all to developers. If they make software resets easier to perform, then great, but I also think they should make these sorts of commands harder to access than this. Nobody would lose anything out of it.

They've already been pretty explicit that the Xbone can not play Xbox 360 games. Sometimes you just gotta deal with the fact that you can't fix stupid. If system32 exists, someone is going to find out how to get other people to delete it. There will always be little ways to trick people into bricking their stuff.

Theoretically possible. Statistically highly unlikely. For every single atom to be just right even on Earth to allow for intelligent life is a 1 in several million chance.

What data did you use to make this claim? I want to view it.

Meltdown yes. Racist, no. Its not racist when its true.

The term "racism" has nothing to do with the validity of your argument. What you said isn't true, anyway.

Re: the atheist dig, you can bet that his primitive ancestors did believe in gods. Atheism is a new concept, & hasn't taken the Earth by storm. As to the intelligence of atheism, the only response is that someone who believes that the universe just came about by accident is not the sharpest knife in the rack.

Right, because it is much smarter to think an entity that has always existed brought the universe into being makes much more intellectual sense than simply the universe always existing. You don't believe in an all powerful entity because you're intelligent, you do because your parents gave you a book that said if you don't you'll be punished for eternity. Kind of sadistic, really.

& EJ, that ethnic group you don't believe exists? Remember that while your ancestors (white & black) were savaging each other in endless blood feuds, & were still hunter-gatherers, mine were Priests in the Temple of Solomon.

Effectively making his ancestors smarter than yours. They weren't dumb enough to waste time worshipping an invisible man in the sky.

Don't try to lecture me, you little piss-ant. If you're so proud of being Black, & want to deny my ethnic Jewishness, you should go to DR Congo & savage it out in their brutal civil war. Or Hell, why not just go to South Central LA & savage it out in the gang wars, along w/ all the other Black males age 15-24 that die due to other Black males age 15-24 (the single largest cause of death for Black American males of that age group)?

Hah, total racist meltdown.

EJ doesn't, so that's why I asked him.

Oh, EJ isn't people, silly.

John, why is it all right to call Europeans and Americans white, but not all right to call Africans black?

Uhh, what people are you meeting that don't like the term "black"?

4 orthographic errors. No need to 'dafeet' someone who does the job for me.

If you're not going to make an argument, don't post.

What does it actually do?

It enables dev-mode on the Xbox, which if you're not an authorized dev, it more or less results in your Xbox no longer working.

I have no idea what the deal is with Israel. I do not wish to google it and read someone's essay to get the idea.

The UN gave the Jews a country after the holocaust by buying up a bunch of land from Palestinians. This initial country-founding made Palestine very angry, since the UN didn't do much discussion with them about it. Since then Israel has tried on a daily basis to expand its borders farther into Palestine and met harsh resistance.

It's funny because I don't remember the UN giving the gays and gypsies a country, even though Hitler killed a lot more of them than Jews. Oh right, I forgot, the world still hates those two groups.

one of them don't stone their daughters for having sex outside of marriage.

You're confusing cultural extremism with religion.

I'm not going to get into whether God is involved or not. That's a topic that we could bat around all night. I've made my beliefs clear. But, if Israel were helping us in our obtaining oil, Californians wouldn't be paying 5 bucks a gallon for gas. No, we're not there for oil. We are there for the reasons I mentioned. & the difference between a Jew & a camel jockey is that the latter likes to blow shit up.

Your reasoning doesn't even make sense, I think your personal bias is clouding you judgement.

& notice, Israel doesn't have any oil for export. They produce enough for their own consumption. So the US isn't getting anything on that deal. & given that Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East, & the only country where you don't get stoned for disagreeing w/ the State, I'd say its more about knowing America's true friends (Israel) from so-called 'allies' who directly or indirectly support terrorism (most of the other nations in the region). & I take you back to 'I will bless those who bless you...' Enough Christians & Jews here believe those words to make that a primary motive for supporting Israel. To quote Yul Bryner, 'So let it be written, so let it be done!'

I didn't say the oil is from Israel. Israel is the United States' foothold in the Middle East. It's a thoroughfare country used for our benefit. If the Middle East were ever to fall to the Chinese (Like Iran) then we would have to back out, resulting in Israel's inevitable destruction. Israel exists because the most powerful country in the world wants it to, there are no gods involved.

Well, I'd take a bunch of Jews over a bunch of Muslims any day.

I don't see the difference between them.
