    As for the willpower thing, look at it like this. A drug addict can simply avoid drugs they have no actual need for it they can stop cold turkey. If your addicted to food you can't avoid it. Its advertised all over the place, and you still have to partake every day. It's an uphill battle for them.

    Ever since AMD bought out ATI driver support has drastically improved. AMD isolated the problem (drivers) and got it fixed, or prompted ATI to do it.

  9. Re:Chefs? on First 'Anti-Stab' Knife To Go On Sale In Britain · · Score: 1

    Lobster is just one example. In the case of slaughtering a lobster you would be letting the knife do all the work with its wieght. It will be done on as chopping block so the length if the knife need only be sufficient to get to the board.

    What about a filetting knfe for fish it has to be long thing and sharp due to having to be able to properly inset and remove the delicate flesh from a delicate ribcage without destroying either. A blunted knife in this situation would be dangerous to attempt to filet with. It needs to be thin long sharp and flexible by its nature.

    I am not an american citizen nor are the UK residents whom this will effect so second ammendment is moot. In Australia we already restrict any knife sales to those over the age of sixteen.

    While I am not against the sale of "safety knives". The traditional "unsaafe" knives are actually safer in some situations. I am against the banning of traditionals while they are still safer than the "safer" alternatives for legitimate uses.

  10. Chefs? on First 'Anti-Stab' Knife To Go On Sale In Britain · · Score: 1

    Ever slaughtered a lobster? The humane way of doing it is to place the pointy end above the brain and stab with a single thrust. This would not be possible with such a knife. I am sure a lot of chefs will go out of their way to obtain a traditional pointy knife.
