This is the correct answer.

What do I think of Stephen A. Smith?

I don’t.

I suppose in Dutch, it would be “een holocaustje”.

I imagine that our (U.S.) government’s case resides primarily on the premise that the state may exercise the ability to force divestment of a company with foreign ownership.

These powers are granted by the National Defense Authorization Act which seeks to prevent imminent national and private security vulnerabilities being exploited by foreign adversaries and agents; the actors here would be specifically the CCP and their intelligence and military apparatus’ shell companies and PMCs.

The precedents set by U.S. Anti-Trust laws support their position, but the primary argument in the state’s defense are the powers granted by the NDAA.

I’m only speculating.

Conversely, a matriarchy doesn’t automatically imply a more moral and meritocratic society.

Women are just people and subject to the same human flaws as men are, especially in matters of resources, power, and influence.

Noob question: has anyone confirmed that it’s really running in userspace on linux or win gaming tech forums yet? Doesn’t effective anti-cheat require root privileges?

This is a pretty important thing to validate, in my opinion.

This is a subject I’ve been meaning to start researching and poking around with a bit. Due to work/time requirements, I haven’t been able to run a profiler on anti-cheat services on either of my Windows or my Kubuntu boxes. Any information that you’re willing to share is much appreciated. Thank you, in advance!

I suppose that a legitimate argument for anti-cheat could be griefing, but then the host could just boot the player based on a basic voting system. In general I was curious to see “what’s under the hood” of a kernel-level and a userspace-level anti-cheat service and what are the implicit security risks for an average user.

It’s news to oblivious “hail corporate” types.

The FBI Counterterrorism Unit tried to warn us about this back in 2006.

Scrumptious.

Good.

I hate this hacker crap.

You shouldn’t be down voted like this.

It’s disheartening to me that genuine questions are the cause of so much ire, but when one reflects on basic human nature, it should be expected.

Latest in a long line, I’d wager.

You can get far if you convince people you’ll let them hurt whoever they hate.

The time-traveler John Wilkes Booth showed Abraham Lincoln a vision of the modern Republican Party; the president promptly shot himself in disgust, ironically ensuring that the events that would lead to the waking nightmare we Americans find ourselves in would certainly unfold.

“Sic semper tyrannis” was never uttered by Booth, and was only attributed to him by future Confederate apologists.

He actually said, “Time is a flat circle.”

After many years of studying Japanese history, I’ve come to agree with the opinion that Japan has a culture of masochists ruled by sadists. Well, that’s pretty much the entire human species, but the Japanese especially so.

Your are assailed by many threats: the religious, the nihilists, the corporatists, the fascists, and the alleged “collectivists”. Extreme authoritarian “leftists”, A.K.A. “tankies” (i.e., apologists for Lenin, Stalin, Mao, the CCP, the DPRK, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Xi Jingping, etc.), are threats to a free, egalitarian, and open society, are just as violently authoritarian as their religious, corporatist, and fascist competitors, and should be treated with the contempt, distrust, and ridicule they deserve.

They claim to speak and fight for the proletariat, promising a new utopia, never before seen, once their revolution executes the last “class-traitor”. In practice, once they’re finished with “seizing the means of production”, they’ll never relinquish control and become the new ruling class.

They’ll assume the mantle of an enlightened elite post-revolutionary administration to guide the proletariat to their promised utopia of “each according to their ability, to each according to their need”. In practice, "the party leadership needs the most, because they’re obviously the most able” in reorganizing the economic and political structure of society. The utopia of the “dictatorship of the proletariat” will never exist, only the dictatorship of the “revolutionary party”. Repression and execution await those who question their claims and decisions.

These supposed champions of labor are really harbingers of death - of the mind and the body. They claim to be the true authoritative “voice of the people”. Understand what they really are; power over everything and everyone, forever, is what they seek. They want you either as a true believer (a willing pawn) or dead, just like all of the other supposedly benevolent dictators who promised utopias throughout history.

They’re akin to the pigs in Orwell’s Animal Farm, the loudest voices in the revolution, usurpers of a righteous cause, but a bit “more equal” than everyone else after the farmer is done away with. Fortunately, the pigs, like the farmer, got their comeuppance in the end of the story. Make these pigs squeal.
