How can defending oneself from a violent armed robber be improper?
Misunderstanding, the second died because he improperly used a firearm to hold up a liquor store, and got shot.
Unfortunately, educating kids about firearms isn't the tact the political left cares to take...People who let kids get ahold of unsupervised guns are the worry.
You must not have kids. Education does not play into it before a certain age. You don't 'let' kids do anything. If they can get into it, they will. The law in Canada is that all firearms must be in locked storage, or with trigger locks (both preferred), unloaded. Clips and ammo must be stored in a separate locked container. This prevents kids from 'getting' into anything.
I personally don't mind the extra restrictions if it keeps some kids brains from being splattered all over my walls.
and I cannot legally obtain a handgun. Period. Ever.
Yes you can. Move to a different state, or visit a state without a waiting period.
While you don't have a license to posess for your locale, you did obtain one legally. If you moved there with legally purchased guns that you obtained legally elsewhere, do they take them away?
In Canada, we have a nationwide License system, where after applying the government decides if you are eligible to (A)cquire or (P)osess a firearm. Like your local sherrif, the RCMP can say NO at anytime, and for anything, and are not accountable.
Gun control here means that the nation is safe from duck hunters, but bikers with explosives are free to blow each other and any innocent bystanders up.
...10-year old who accidentally shoots his sister with daddy's pistol...17-year old gang banger who gets shot by the owner of a liquor store...
What's the difference? Both were killed by guns.
One due to improper storage of a firearm, one by improper use of a firearm. Both had the same results - someone under the age of consent died due to a firearm.
In this case, only one could be attributed to 'gun violence', but here in Canada, there are laws regarding gun storage. It would have prevented (does!) the death of the 10 year old's sister. Would not this data be a better case not for gun control, but laws regarding ownership of firearms?
"Big Bang theory does not preclude God creating the Universe, it simply sets a time at which He did it" Dr. Steven Hawkings (Paraphrased from 'A Brief History of Time')
Way I see it, He had the plan, every atomic and particle collision, beginning to end already set and then went "GO!"
Sorry, that should have been "Digital Certificate". Mozilla is great at encryption, but the entity at the other end may not support Mozilla because they are too lazy to incorporate it's user agent tag into their 'accepted' list. I dumped the above bank because it didn't allow Mozilla, even though it met all their requirements.
With some sites, yes. If they don't support the Mozilla certificates, they won't allow https. I use Mozilla for my Banking (switched banks because they supported Mozilla) and things like Hushmail. For some things at work, I still have to use IE for sites that don't support Mozilla's certs.
Not to mention cost. Even a mid sized AS/400 costs several hundred thousand to buy. A 'Z' series can run millions.
AS/400 ~$500,000
Software ~$300,000
Software subscription ~$10,000/year
Hardware support ~10,000/year
I don't know about most shops, but my AS/400 just sits idle 99.9% of the time off peak, and 20-30% usage peak hours. Quite a bit of money to have as a heater.
The app we used is console based, so bandwidth is low, so why not farm it out? (if you trust the host!)
I stand corrected. I might just donate some cycles to it then. I had heard one of those cure-for-cancer things was run by a drug company. I must find out which one, so I don't waste my resources on them.

I don't get why people are drwan to these projects
Because they say it can't be done. Breaking encryption was touted as impossible ten years ago. "It'll take the fastest computer in the world a kajillion years to break 56 bit encryption" It actually took quite a bit less. 64 bit encryption took less than 5 years to be broken.
Distributed.net may be partially responsible for relaxing the laws on exporting encryption. Perhaps it'll take a billion years to break 8192bit encryption with todays technology, but give it 5 years, and newer computers will be able to break it in minutes.
Why not protien folding or cures for cancer? Some because there is no Linux client. Some because the result may not be made public domain. Some I do.
I have 6 machines running at home, some are running dnet, some are Seti. Some have one project running on one processor, and another project running on the other processor. But more than 50% of my cycles go to Dnet.
I used to work in the Queen Charlotte's on a Salmon Farm. I figured most wouldn't be familiar with fish farming, and saw the humour in confusing it with land farming.
And you can't tell me you can't see the humour in the mental image of some guy out tilling his fields, plopping fish in little holes and waiting for them to sprout just a little funny!

Exactally. "The crooks found out we are tapping their phones"..."Shit!" (or replace with "Do'h")
Scheiße - roughly pronounced "Schiess", but I believe "Do'h!" works.

Or you could go to "Edit" -> "Preferences" -> "Advanced" -> "Scripts and Plugins" -> and uncheck "Enable JavaScript for...Mail and Newsgroups".
Does IE let you do that? Why do you need JavaScript in Mail anyway? I won't even accept HTML email.
Text is fine. I get the content without all the cookies and graphics.
The Anon Poster is correct. As well as the NSA and CIA. Mostly in Ottawa, Cornwall, Masset, Alert; Centers for SIGINT.
Mostly just for intellegence sharing. They have no real authority.

WTF? Were you backcatcher for the Archery team?
I know a couple who are Irish. He's prodestant, she's catholic. Whenever they argue, she blows up his car.
Anything like that?
