Well that's surreal. I took a moment to check if this was a parody, a la The Onion.
And to be clear, I never gained any certainty whether this is a parody.
It's not :)

#42"primarily a semi-auto .22 rifle with a silencer. They are virtually completely silent and can pierce car doors and other light armor." Complete and utter bullshit.

They won't penetrate a car doors Actually .22 LR can indeed penetrate a car door. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0LS0ZRk1y0
Did he actually mean .22 LR, or maybe .223?

#43I swear, the things I'd do with that downvote button. [edit: I just realized this wasn't actually written by Mr. McAfee]

#44"My favorite real-time software is the XM153 remote control software that comes standard with the XM153 50 caliber machine gun. It is solid, never crashes, easy to use and easy to install." If you don't appreciate the genius of that answer you are dead inside. BTW it's obviously a fake.
This isn't fake.

Now I don't know jack about guns, but I'd heard that .22s can be way more deadly than heavier ammo, largely because of the bullets' tendencies to go spiraling around inside the body due to their low force/velocity/whatever. Can you comment on this? Or not, I mean, it's not like it's a practical matter or anything.

#46The funny thing is that is a fucking GSG-5 .22lr mockery of the HK MP5, with a fake suppressor attached to make it legal as a rifle (16"), in his photo. That's like posing with a "mac" from fisher price.
If this fisher price thing is loaded, pointed at someone, and you pull the trigger will it hurt or possibly even kill that someone? Another question: if a bunch of well trained delta force operatives went up against an equally numbered random thugs where delta force had the fisher price thing and the thugs had whatever you said was better, who would win you think? I don't get some people's attitudes when it comes to…

Yeah, and a Raspberry Pi is a perfectly good computer. I just choose to use a laptop instead because sometimes a bit more oomph is practical.

#48"They allow me to solve 2nd order partial differential equations in my head and to spontaneously create 4 dimensional images of software structures that I can mentally manipulate." Dude, teach me! But seriously, although the first boast is pretty much BS, I was surprised to learn that there is actually something called software visualization, albeit in 3D: http://www.cs.colostate.edu/~bieman/Pubs/StaplesBieman99.pdf…
More about the smart drugs or the equation solving?

Yeah, it's more like a body kit on a crappy old civic trying to impersonate a Lambo.
I have (2!) GSG-5. I've had an MP5 (real, full-auto, 9mm, with a suppressor). It's about that scale of difference.

.22lr can penetrate a door, too (out of a rifle); car doors are like paper. But .223 will zip through much more.
