I'll just bet CNN will lump AN with the arbitrary term "Assault Weapons", along with most other non exploding fertilizers, and push for reintroducing the AW Ban.
Excellent straw man. Since no pro-gun advocate believes or has said that about the marathon, why not just turn to the anti-gun propaganda machine to put words in the other sides' mouths?
Seems like a good argument technique. If you are an idiot.
This is way over the top an uninformed. 3D printed guns take advantage of the fact that what is regulated as a gun in the U.S. is subject to relatively low stress. It doesn't include chambers or barrels (the parts made of steel and the parts hard to obtain in other countries). Besides that, there already exist plenty of CAD plans for CNC'ing the "gun" out of steel, from cheap CNC machines.
What 3D printing offers is absolutely no advantage over existing vectors of getting guns in your country. It is not any easier, and is more dangerous to use.
This is one of the main flaws with gun control arguments. Guns aren't watches, they don't have to be precisely machined or require magic or special skills to work. Scary guns like Assault Rifles can have the major parts machined trivially, with the remainder being sets of springs and pins which are rarely regulated due to the difficulty in doing so.
No, making guns for sale requires you have a license. Making guns for personal use only requires no licenses at all, as long as they fall under ATF guidelines for weapons that don't need to be registered with the ATF (no assault rifles or SBRs).
Yes, but as I've already pointed out, the endpoint of her career is besides the point. She had just as many options of pursuing a scientific career, which is further than others get if they are discouraged from doing sciences by maths in the undergraduate level.
I don't disagree. Maybe I should have left out the dental school part because it distracts from the point. The point is, one can survive, at least in the undergraduate level (the starting point of a scientific career, where most students are too discouraged to try) without being heavily involved in maths at all.
I realize that going into medicine doesn't make her a scientist, but the starting point for both paths is the same.
Are sensationalized bullshit. The original article did not make that claim, only that you shouldn't let a fear of maths or advanced maths prevent you from a career in the sciences. Obviously, don't plan a career in Physics, but there are plenty of interesting areas of study that don't require Calculus+ areas of math proficiency (sociobiology being one).
As an ECE, most of my studies were centered around differential equations. However, my sister, who did biology/chemistry(two hard sciences) with an intent to move on to dental school, hardly had to touch maths at all.
You need to use the same kind logic as when buying a used car.
1. Do not assume you can outsmart them or that they have made glaring mistakes 2. Realize they do this professionally, that is, spend years eating and breathing this type of activity 3. Realize if there was some way to retaliate or gain an advantage, they wouldn't be doing this for a living. 4. Re-evaluate your position.
Your reading comprehension is low, possibly because you fall under that average. 90th percentile IQ is somewhere around an IQ of 120, and 97th percentile is somewhere between 128-130.
Clearly, gifted children. However, as someone else pointed out, IQ is malleable, and a cultural thing. Many very smart children lose their advantage by the time they are adults, and many average or above average children can end up in the genius IQ range as an adult once they realize they can be as intelligent as they want to be.
That is mostly bullshit. Gold has some intrinsic value, but the vast majority of gold's value is inflated by speculators and wealth storage (bullion, futures, jewelry). What you are claiming is not dissimilar to saying the greenback with never hyperinflate because of the intrinsic value of the paper it is printed on.
Looking at historical gold prices, I'd estimate that if gold was priced on intrinsic value alone, cost per oz would be less than a tenth of what it is.
I know it isn't as elegant, but I would think that given a choice between accidental detonation and loading the mechanism altogether with cell phones, the former would be most desirable.
I would think that shutting down cell towers wouldn't be particularly effective, given that the same mechanism that would allow one to trigger a bomb with a cell phone is also present in other RF devices such as baby monitors and walkie-talkies.
Neither fan the continue diversifying while neglecting their bread and butter. They wanted to be more like Apple, so they made a shitty flop of a phone. They wanted to be more like Google, so they made a shitty flop of a search engine. And all that time, when they should have been making W7 better, they came out with a shitty flop of an OS.
That is a good strategy, but, unfortunately, many of us using business computers (issued laptops, etc) don't have that kind of control over the update policy.
The Windows 7 interface is worse and infinitely more annoying to use (just look at the dialogs to shut down). Customizing the interface is riddled with problems (getting the splash screen to not be crap was a minor crisis, not to mention early tri-booting with XP and Ubuntu, or things like disablingntouchpads now requiring admin rights when they used to not). It is no safer, the registry is still there, it supports less software, and I had to upgrade my hardware two generations to get games playing at the same quality and frame rate as XP.
What good reasons are there to switch to 7?
I use 7 now only because my XP HDD failed, and I can afford to be lazy about reinstalling since Linux Mint is my primary OS (and what an OS it is!).
With NK, damned if you do, damned if you don't. They are antagonizing themselves into a nuclear strike. Anonymous's hacking did not change the situation.

Losing* phone autocorrect is an idiot.

I know they make jammers for these, I've worked on one, but that isn't what they are discussing here...

In the U.S., you can apply for a permit from the FCC to use jammers. The issue here is that these companies did not, but were jamming anyways.

Their biggest sponsors are Microsoft and Oracle (check the bottom link).

Isn't learning these things part of rehearsal? Maybe an extra session with the conductor to determine what will be happening beforehand.
I don't see why Anonymous would have succeeded where morenskilled groups in China and Russia have failed.
There is a Netflix App for Linux that runs through Wine. It works perfectly fine.
