Sniping Could Be the Next Killer iPod App
An anonymous Coward writes "Knights Armament Corp. who supply sniper rifles to the US military have developed a iPod Touch mounting system and software for the US Army M110 sniper rifle system. The use of off the shelf hardware no doubt cut costs and allowed rapid development of this system." If it automatically played a theme song after every head shot, this would be the coolest rifle accessory ever.
doesn't crack jokes about it. unless they are a cretin or a sociopath, or have never actually taken a human life
so if you found the headline funny, please self identify as moron or psychopath or ignorant, and go about the rest of your day, content in the fact that you know a little bit more about your personal failings

It is disgusting.
That is not a game controller people.
Stop and think about what you're saying.
Samzenpus, you should be ashamed of yourself.
I didn't find it disturbing and objectionable so much as humiliating for whoever thought it was funny.
There's no point in being offended by stupidity. Rather, we should pity the type of adult man-child that makes such jokes, even ironically, for they know not how much they embarrass themselves.
BOOM HEADSHOT!!
and some guy kills her
in the courtroom, i stand up, and with the gun i snuck in, i blow the guy away
if, for the rest of my life, i am haunted and tortured by what i did, i'm not a sociopath
if i enjoyed it, i'm a sociopath
your visceral reaction to taking a life is completely different from your higher mental faculties. your higher mental faculties might reason that it is necessary for you to take another human life in the name of justice. but in doing the act of taking another human life, as commanded by your forebrain, your emotional reaction will vary from horror to revulsion to strange excitement. you will find utter revulsion, or enjoyment, in what you are compulsed to do by your allegiance to a sense of justice. which reveals your honest natural predilection, regardless of the context of the life taking

You're thinking too small....you're not just looking after yourself and your home, but, more of a 'neighborhood watch' type thing.
You don't want them stealing your neighbors stuff just because they aren't back yet, do you?

I would not call you an idiot...but, we do think differently, and I'm guessing you have not gone through or seen anything like the rampant looting that happened post-Katrina.
Basically, only the threat of that kind of penalty would stop those 'animals'. And if you were in your home when they came about, it wouldn't just be your stuff in danger, trust me.
And frankly, I'm guessing you may not be from the south? Down here, we take intrusion on property and theft pretty seriously, God help you if you get caught doing stuff like that in TX....you can lawfully shoot someone stealing from your property pretty easily.....
