In all seriousness, I actually have an app that does document scanning, one of the last few things for which I would need a desktop, and it works quite well. Burning CDs/DVDs is probably the last thing that requires a desktop/laptop for me, but I have less and less need for that these days.
Which is why the terrorists haven't tried hijacking. They've moved on to explosives, and our security has responded by looking for them more stringently. Next they may move to renting private jets and crashing them, and we'll respond with more security. It's co-evolution, or Red Queen, at play. The solution isn't to do nothing. You have to run fast as hell if you want to stay in the same place.
No, he rides it like Capt King Kong (played by Slim Pickens) rode a nuclear weapon like it was a horse in Dr. Strangelove. He even references Slim Pickens as he does it.
Doubt it. There's actually a huge amount of legal trade going across the border. There's a DMZ, but there's buttloads of trucks going back and forth over it every day.
We regularly see extremely scary movie previews for adult horror movies for example in between kid's shows. What is there to explain to my kids, other than reassure them we're not going to that movie? My 2-year old only understands that something scared him senseless while he was watching Spongebob. Telling my kids we're not going to watch an entire channel of their favorite shows is not an option. This comment is so patently ridiculous I frankly doubt you have kids.
I don't see why a government agency has to get involved.
We're talking about the FCC here. Isn't this their frakin job?
I like to think of myself as a responsible parent. But if I put on a kid's TV show, and there's nudity or violence on the commercials between the show, how I am supposed to block that? How am I supposed to know that's going to be there? I can prevent them from changing the channel to adult shows, and I'm present most the time when they're watching, but I can't do everything.
I'm thinking maintenance, function check, cleaning, repairing, trouble-shooting, etc. There's an awful lot more to know about the operation of a laser rifle so that when something goes wrong, and it will, you can fix it in the field. When an M-16 fails to fire, you just tap the magazine to make sure it's seated, rack the charging handle, and fire again. Solves most problems. Taking it apart and cleaning is a cinch. Can you imagine a 19yo soldier field-stripping a laser rifle in the field to determine why it didn't fire?
To the layperson, automatic can mean either semi- or full-. Austin Powers said, "I've got my 9 milli automatic!" If you're referring to a belt-fed weapon though, most people don't say it's an automatic. They said it's fully-automatic or full-auto.

Desktops? Do people still use those?
That's because they're notoriously tight-lipped and don't talk about anything in development.

If they can't make Band-Aids like that, why would they be able to make artificial skin like that?
Read a book.
RTFB(ook) and get off my lawn!
You must be good with that shotgun to be able to kill burglars in your kitchen when you're not even home.

Um, that and it was in the same sentence. In TFS. A new low for slashdot?

Why, when reading your post, do I have the urge to imagine a schizophrenic vagrant yelling it from a street corner?
Yes, he was joking, I there's a whoooosh around here somewhere for you.

Soooooo should I get off your playground, or what?

I had one for several years, so I'm pretty sure. Here's a pic. The slide release is the big button.

Star Wars uses laser weapons.
Lasers that float down hallways at 35mph, right?
Yeah, this one dude back in 2003 totally ripped on praxis whatever things on an internet board! Busted!
Neither, due to mismatched physics.

Oh, whoops! Was I standing on your lawn? Sorry 'bout that.
No, the P-11 9mm locks back. The Kel Tec P-3AT .380 doesn't. The P-3 .32 ACP does, but when they made the .380, there wasn't any room for the slide lock.
Since pretty much everything is connected with USB these days, is this any kind of surprise? Were there any worms spread using a serial port?
