No it was not. The AR-15 is not a military weapon. Do you even know anything about that gun platform?
The select-fire AR-15 entered the US military system as the M16 rifle. Colt then marketed the Colt AR-15 as a semi-automatic version of the M16 rifle for civilian sales in 1963.[8] Although the name "AR-15" remains a Colt registered trademark, variants of the firearm are independently made, modified and sold under various names by multiple manufacturers.
Problem is Assault weapons ARE already heavily controlled. You have to have a Class 3 license to buy assault rifles.
An AR-15 is NOT an assault weapon. It does not have select fire and is only a single shot semi automatic rifle.
Calling these assault rifles it like pointing at a car and calling it a truck.
here is one that will make you wig out. I can buy WITHOUT A LICENSE a fully automatic high rate of fire Gatling gun or machine gun. If it was made before 1986 It's legal to own without any permit or license.
I can also build and own a FLAME THROWER without a license.
Banning Semi automatic modular rifles will solve nothing. It was already proven that this does not work, it's why the previous ban was overturned.
I can kill far more people faster with a car than you can with a fully automatic weapon. And cars dont require a background check to get them, plus the things are lying around everywhere ready for use.
IF you want to get their attention. buy a disposable camera and go taking photos of security cameras. You will get to meet the people behind those cameras pretty quickly.
They like to watch you, they hate it when you watch them.
Yup, and for the past few years they do what their party tell them to do. The supreme court has not been the defenders of the constitution that they were supposed to be for decades....
She is a success because she is driven by creating and doing not by raw greed. This is what makes her not only a success, but she has far more respect from people than any fortune 500 CEO.
Being a greedy Bastard, like Samsung, Apple, Dell, HP, Microsoft, etc... is more profitable in the long run because screwing people has a higher profit margin.
You are peanuts... The real money is in the suckers that want a masters or higher. Those fools get milked out of tens of thousands of dollars. I know one that went into the medical field that is $110,000 in student loan debt because she was stupid and though the "better schools" means you get more job opportunities.
They dont.
Some do not get utterly robbed, those people go to school smart. They don't do the stupid move of chasing "prestigious" names. But those are the same students that work full time and go to school full time. They are not morons and get loans and spend it on rent, food, and beer.
And yes she is one of my examples that having a phd does not make you smart. The other is my sister in law with two Masters degrees and cant balance a checkbook or keep a car on it's tires.
Crestron DM system and AppleTV's allow my corporate clients to "throw" content to a display. You just have to be an apple ecosystem to do it. Mostly because Microsoft cant figure it out.
I know a LOT of clients that would kill for a Microsoft version of airplay. but it does not exist and will not exist for some time. (anything that requires a driver to be installed is already a fail. Airplay works without any driver installation)
If the It department were to hire real AV consultants that install real AV gear like the Crestron DM or Extron/Kramer systems that are like it along with embracing the current tech and working with it instead of against it, they can have it today.
And yes, I can get Apple TV (Last customer has over 240 of them across the business campus) to work in a corporate environment. It's not that hard if you have competent network admins and engineers.
You must not use Blender much.. they redesign the UI every release. It's a way to keep people buying their books. A book on blender you bought 6 months ago is useless with the next release.
That is my biggest complaint, STOP FRIGGING REDESIGNING THE UI!.
What moron stores HD at full uncompress transport streams? mpeg4 compress those. 6TB and I bet I have more than you do in videos. Granted I only watch on a small 96" screen at 1080p so the compression effects is never seen. (Compared bluray to my rip... I cant see a different and nither can anyone else I demoed it to.) at 2gb per hour, it even has the uncompressed surround tracks intact.
I hope you are not ripping BluRay "classic movies" because those are a waste of space at Bluray sizes. a DVD of "the fifth element" looks as good as the bluray when scaled by the HTPC. IT was never shot in high def so there is no "high def" there to see...
Then you dont know much. I run TWO Nvidia video cards and when in full gaming mode I cant exceed 300Watts of power draw. This is real measured numbers, not the fake crap on spec sheets. This is in a low end i7 3.2ghz setup with only 12 gig of ram and 4 WD Black drives.
It doesn't stop the uneducated from buying 1000W power supplies.
I have a quad core i7 3.2ghz powerhouse with 2high end video cards and 4 drives in it and it's happy with the 400 watt power supply I put in it even at full load. Some people think bigger numbers are better, Others actually calculate what they need.
TO assult someone if you think they might be committing a crime?
Glad to see the police are allowed to just assult people at random out of spite. Because if two big cops cant handle a little lady without drastic escalation, they need to be fired right away.

"Yes it is that same XXXXX. He is a slippery double talking sack of shit, and nobody should forget that."
Replace XXXXX with the name of Any president we have had.
Actually replace XXXXX with the name of any House of Represenatitive member or senator. Or State Governor, etc...
Every politician is that, you should never ever forget the fact that if they are elected then they are lying to you when their lips are moving.

Invalidate and reject ALL software patents.
ALL of them. Computers are math, you cant patent math, therefore you cant freaking patent anything that is software.
Until they do that, they are just spinning their wheels.
"What would you have her do? The guy was legally an adult, and she couldn't possibly have kept a 24-hour watch on him."
Call the local police and tell them he is dangerous and armed. They typically respond to that kind of stuff.

We are talking american schools like the University Of Michigan and Notre Dame... Mathematics like Addition and multiplication is not important here.

Criminal activity includes not agreeing with your government or being a proponent of freedoms that have been taken away.

Open Sells. Open is Profitable. This is a fact.

Holy cow, why do you have a junk HTPC server?
Mine draws 45W at full boat and 3W most of the time. $300.00 HP microserver, and 4 AppleTV2's hacked to run XBMC around the house.
And they still dont DRAW 250-200Watts... that is their MAX power use rating from the card maker, and is typically inflated.
