The system is no more or less effective in the US than in Europe. They are no better at educating the underclass either and no better at educating those that care to learn.
This is what a non-superficial examination of the data tells us.
Parents matter far more than the school system does.
Why would the risk level of the murder weapon matter to these people? In case you haven't noticed, most of them KILL THEMSELVES. They are your typical suicide bomber anyways. The fact that materials are dangerous isn't necessarily going to stop them.
The guy in Colorado was suited up for a gas attack. He could have chose homemade nerve gas as is weapon of choice and have been perfectly safe.
Liberal idiots whip themselves into a frenzy because rifles look scary. They associate rifles with the military and wars. Rifles are an easy target for mass hysteria for the same reason that ignorant reporters fixate on them.
Meanwhile, pistols are clearly more popular and at the same time seen as a self-defense weapon. They seem less scary, more useful, and harder to demonize.
They are more useful for self defense because they are more portable and also easier to use for nefarious purposes for that same very reason.
You thought you were going to shame me or something?
I know better. "A man's gotta know his limitations". That means that when lions and bears and bobcats and coyotes come around, I prefer some firepower that's not from the French and Indian wars.
If you feel that you can't trust your friends and neighbors with modern "military" weapons then you're the one with a messed up society.
Banning the ammo box is just a manifestation of the desire to ban the ballot box.

It's a matter of imagination, not subversion. Nanny state dependents with no imagination can't understand that there are other ways to engage in mayhem. We live in a highly advanced technological society with potentially dangerous materials all around us. We also live in a free society where knowledge about how to use and abuse such materials is freely available.
An industrial arts class from the 80s could probably get around this latest attempt at legislating away technology.
The missus already programmed her Android phone to engage in location based auto configuration. She uses it for power management but certainly the same principles can be use for "do not be a jerk" purposes.
A lame *ss software patent for the USPTO. Whodathunkit?
> The case is about someone gaining unauthorized access to the system - repeateldy, tresspassing and wire fraud.
"wire fraud" is a bullshit crime used by the corrupt to intimidate the innocent. It's the perfect example of the problem here. It's a manifestation of the fascist approach to enforcing the law here.
It's nonsense to "trump up" charges with.
THIS is why we don't want cops on campus. I fear cops much more than I fear a psycho with a gun. Cops are much more likely to destroy your life over some trivial shit and it won't ever make the evening news.
I don't think anyone here could handle being a felon regardless of how much love they profess for the current system or how much optimism they have regarding this kid's prospects within the prison system.
There are no gaurantees here. He could be sent to ANY federal detention facility. Once he's in the system, the system can do anything it likes with him. Neither he nor you can make any optimistic assumptions based on watching Office Space too many times.
I was responding to the assinine notion that there can't be a satisfied Android user.
Some people just can't handle a satsified customer using something other than their own pet brand.
YOU are just that kind of idiot.
The same goes for any of you other MORONS that modded down my original response as "flamebait". A contrary opinion or experience is not flamebait.
Also, the idea that Android "problems" are any more consistent than Android itself should seem absurd to anyone with any functioning brain cells. That whole dreaded "fragmentation" thing works both ways.
> I find that anyone used to an iOS device can pick up a Nexus 7 and notice the lag.
I find that you're full of shit. We're people that were used to PhoneOS devices and then defected to Android devices. I was actually a little surprised how quickly the non-geek iFan in the household took to Android.
I figured that "ecosystem" would at least hold her back.
Otherwise they look like they don't give a damn about the end user. Most companies in a free market have to wory about that sort of thing. (pissing off customers)
So there should be nothing like romex or bare cat5 anywhere to be seen. It should all be run through conduits so that it can be maintained and repaired like any other building that falls under commercial construction codes.
So what they run during initial construction should be pretty irrelevant so long as there is proper conduit laid for communications.
If you are talking about the Internet, then "freedom" is a very relevant thing to talk about. That vague concept is what allowed the Internet to develop in the first place. That vague concept also drives commercial activity and allows customers to find merchants.
There are very practical economic implications of protecting individual liberties.
That is why China itself is not exactly ideologically pure itself in these matters.
That helps some but you are still left with the internal wiring. Unless there are some mandates in that regard, the usefulness of that fiber connection will be limited.
Even relatively low end streamer appliances benefit from a real, wired ethernet connection.
An operation like that may just as likely be using a Unix based appliance. Even for small businesses, server components are no longer Windows only. In some case, the client side of the vertical apps aren't Windows only anymore either.
> You wear an RFID badge if you work in a high-tech firm.
I've spent my working life in high-tech firms and have managed to somehow avoid this. Furthermore, those function as ACCESS CONTROLS. They are keys. They aren't intended for Big Brother spying nonsense.
Even if the tech were the same (which it isn't), the intent is quite different.
Corporate beaurocrats have better things to do with their time and money (fortunately).
Liberals like to whine about "military hardware" but the obvious testing ground for this kind of tech is in fact the military. I would have fewer objections to any of these solutions if cops were the guinea pigs.
Even if you ban all civilian firearms you still have the big problem of well armed police forces. You have potential corruption plus an industry that still needs to remain around to supply the cops.
Start by supplying these "lawgivers" to cops and soldiers.

The main difference is the price tag.
Beyond that, it's been done before.
The resurrection of terminals previously tended to be stymied by the fact that they tended to cost you as much or more as a full PC.

Sounds a lot like basic mapping features that date back to Mapquest.
"Am I in a theater" is the same problem as "are we there yet" or "where can I see the latest special effects spectacular".

That's much like whining about the size of a Windows application's registry hive.
You must also be frightened by any fully featured modern video transcoder.

"lag" has never been an issue.
They have to address all the trolls.

An ActiveDirectory infastructure is unlikely in anything but a "big business". Anything smaller is simply not going to bother.
Certainly a "small business" isn't going to touch AD. They have neither the requirements nor the dedicated staff to manage it.
AD is for environments large enough that they might be using LDAP in their server room.
An operation like that may just as likely be using a Unix based appliance. Even for small businesses, server components are no longer Windows only. In some case, the client side of the vertical apps aren't Windows only anymore either.
Once you get into bigger problems and more demanding SLAs, the prevalance of Windows declines rather quickly.

Most gun deaths would be reduced by attacking the root of crime and the poverty that tends to drive it.
Most of the time, suburbanites are content to allow the poor to continue killing each other while living in squalor.
