I've built clone PCs since the early 80's, and worked at Egghead Software in San Jose as an assistant manager in high school. I remember the Fry's grocery store and the original Su…

Mass hysteria / moral panic perhaps? Isn't the greater, real threats are people are inhaling massive quantities of nicotine and propylene glycol, and not sufficiently cleaning thei…

I would say the victim hierarchy social policy engineers throw anyone/group under the bus who does better than average because they hurt the "victims." Also, for example, if I were…
