  1. Re:Barrel and slide/bolt too? on 3D-Printed Gun May Be Unveiled Soon · · Score: 1

    You must get tired painting with that broad of a brush. It's gotta be pretty heavy

  2. Re:Hero..maybe to you. on Stolen Laptop Owner Outwits Mugger, Police, and the Media · · Score: -1, Troll

    You have completely lost your grip on reality or have to be a completely moronic troll. Those are the only two things I can think of.

  3. Re:Other countries to run the Internet? on House Panel Backs 'Internet Freedom' Legislation · · Score: 1

    Neither Switzerland nor Germany have a high enough standard for freedom of speech laws for me to feel comfortable with them regulating the Internet.

  4. Paging N.S. Sherlock on Study Suggests Patent Office Lowered Standards To Cope With Backlog · · Score: 1

    Does this really surprise anyone?

  5. Re:This will probably be my second shortest ever p on Should the US Really Limit Chinese-Government Influenced IT Systems? · · Score: 1

    No

  6. This will probably be my second shortest ever post on Should the US Really Limit Chinese-Government Influenced IT Systems? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yes

  7. One potential solution on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Explain That Humans Didn't Ride Dinosaurs? · · Score: 0

    Just beat her until she agrees with you or can't understand why you're reaching out to humans via cyphered messages. It will establish dominance and put some god damn sense into her.

  8. Re:I think lists are an even bigger problem on Gauging the Dangers of Surveillance · · Score: 3, Informative

    Read something other than internet smut sites and you'd probably have heard of it: Here is one: http://newyork.newsday.com/news/nation/journal-news-gun-permit-map-used-by-burglars-to-target-white-plains-home-1.4441678

    Don't be a fucking idiot.If no one is home, it's just another valuable that can be fairly easily stolen.

  10. Re:Semi-automatic weapons on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    Go spew some bullshit somewhere else. If you even know someone with an AR-15, I'd be surprised. The only people I know with AR-15 use them to hunt so they don't have to buy multiple guns for different game.

  11. Re:Semi-automatic weapons on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    You can change the caliber on the AR-15 platform. That's one of the reasons it's so popular.

  12. Re:Why does 3d printing matter on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 2

    Most of the parts of a modern machine gun are identical to the semi-auto models. The few that aren't available legally to non-FFL require the background check but aren't too difficult to manufacture. The trick is to get the timing on the gun so it doesn't always jam or fail.

  13. Re:What do US folk need guns for exactly? on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 2

    Well it's a right so you don't need it for anything to one one. However I use mine for hunting and sport shooting. I would use them for self-defense if I had to.

  14. Re:Why does 3d printing matter on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    Not on a commercially viable level. The company in the story originally created a lower than lasted 6 rounds before it broke. Their latest lasted 600 rounds, and that was only a few months of development.

  15. This just in on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 3, Informative

    You don't need an FFL to create your own guns. You just need an FFL if you want to sell your guns commercially. Don't fuck this up congress. It's still illegal for prohibited persons from making a gun for their own use unless it's a black powder muzzle loader (aka non-modern firearm), though that might be restricted in some states AFAIK

  16. X! Carbon on Are Lenovo's ThinkPads Getting Worse? · · Score: 1

    I've had this for a couple of months. I don't prefer the keyboard more than the larger T520 ones and the touchpad is ass, but I love the laptop as a whole. It's light, powerful, and the touchpad is a non-factor because I use a bluetooth mouse.

  17. Just walk on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stay Fit At Work? · · Score: 1

    Seriously, it's pretty fucking easy. Walk home from work if you can. If you can't, try walking around during lunch break or a normal break. You're basically asking the laziest way to stay in shape because you've been too lazy to maintain an exercise regimen, which is extremely common. Motivate yourself.

  18. No on In Defense of Six Strikes · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Can Six Strikes actually be a good thing for consumers?

    No. It can, at best, be a marginally better than the alternative.

    Wouldn't you rather receive a warning from your ISP than be sent a bill or legal threat by the RIAA/MPAA?"

    Yes, but I would also rather have my kneecaps broken than shot in the face. It doesn't make either option actually palatable.

  19. Re:Stolen smart phones will be long forgotten on Google Looking for "Creative Individuals" For Glass Developer Program · · Score: 1

    No these are literally thefts where people are using a phone and it gets taken from them or they get beaten up by a group of kids and have it stolen. The phone is literally in their hand. Other common occurrences are someone uses their phone, puts it away, and then they get threatened or beaten up until they hand over the concealed phone. This is not the hood. These are some of the richest neighborhoods in Chicago. You are clueless. You're reading comprehension is poor.

  20. Re:Stolen smart phones will be long forgotten on Google Looking for "Creative Individuals" For Glass Developer Program · · Score: 1

    You're clueless. If I had a nickle for every time an iPhone theft or a smartphone theft showed up on the police blotter in the NICE parts of Chicago, I'd be a pretty rich man in a few months.

  21. Re:i like to limit my DHCP scope on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With an Advanced Wi-Fi Leech? · · Score: 1

    He's not wrong. He is offbase with the corporate IT to a certain extent but not your house. Do you have any friends? Do you want to add a new MAC to your router every single time someone comes over to hang out? It's pretty trivial to spoof a MAC address as well. I have a feeling you'd be looking for a new job if you were actually assigned to a helpdesk and said what you just did.

    In a stroke of complete obviousness to anyone who isn't one of you two retards, he is saying that those programs suck in comparison to the closed source counterparts. Whether or not his opinion is completely valid is a different point (I'd give him a 50% truthiness on his statement).
