2) It takes too long to make. You go and buy one in ten minutes.
Currently, printing is time consuming. But expect that to speed up in the not so distant future. I would not be surprised if you could print all the parts for a gun in less than an hour within a year or two. And legally buying a handgun in the store could take a few hours depending on your state's laws. Even with a concealed carry permit, I had to wait as they ran a background check on me and filled out paperwork. If I was planning to murder someone, a non-traceable single use printed weapon (that I can test to my heart's desire) printed in an hour or a day is still better than buying one on the street, let alone a legal one in a store. I would also consider printing my own light guns to keep in the glovebox, under my seat, at my desk, etc for self defense instead of buying one expensive heavy one and carrying everywhere. In short, if the technology keeps improving it could become a more common occurrence to see printed guns. A threat that requires special legislation? Maybe.
I read years ago that the radar guns cops use was causing problems. They were leaving them on and putting them between their legs when not using, and led to (IIRC) sterility and cancer.
No shit it's not new. No one says it was. This guy made the info more easily available using public info, and he's being sued over it. That's the story. And it's clearly the point of TFS. FFS, try reading.
Why would the TSA give a fsck about people saving a few dollars on their trip? It's not an indicator of terrorism or some other physical threat to the plane.
To say nothing about the hundreds of millions of people living in cities that are unable to plant a single tree. You should probably plant a lot more, to try to partially make up for what city dwellers can't plant.
Yeah, we do. And you know what else we do all the time? Come up with new words when we're tired of being pointlessly confused with ambiguous words. Otherwise, we'd spend all day saying pass me the thingy thing, you know the thing by other thing, no the other thing.
Yeah, it would obviously make much more sense to just send every tool imaginable and spare parts for every possible thing that could ever break instead of one small 3D printer. You're so smart! If only NASA had consulted with you first.
Why the fuck does everyone assume that cyber attack automatically means internet connection? Stuxnet hit the airgapped Iranian nuclear facilities via USB drives.
Unlike making your own money, it is perfectly legal (in the US anyway) to make your own gun, 3d printed or otherwise. Selling it may be illegal, but it's not like there's gangs toting 3d printed guns roaming the streets just yet.
The point is that the sun and moon, especially the moon, are both their names and the generic name for its type (gp didn't say planet, btw). It's like Big Bird. It's fine as a name, when there's only one of him. When you go to his home town, and everyone is a big bird, you may want to find a better name. Yes, context will help. But if you're talking to a martian explorer, and he talks about sending something "to the moon", his context and your context are two different things and there is bound to be confusion.
That didn't stop stuxnet. If you mandate an airgap, then employees will airgap their files, and music, and cat videos, and everything else they were using the internet for, and USB drives become the vector. Ban USB drives, and there is no airgap and no work. Data needs to go in and out of the network, one way or another. Airgap is no replacement for proper security measures and training.
You can unload 13,000 cases of unpalletized canned goods in four hours, the same amount of time it takes anyone else with pallets? That's pretty fucking amazing, I must say.

The only person who used the word felon was you. Fscked up, indeed.

For gun control advocates open carry should be preferable to concealed carry, because you can at least tell who is armed and who isn't.
So everyone not open carrying is a threat, because they're obviously carrying concealed?

Because NASA is staffed with morons too stupid to consult with you, obvs.

"Clear proof" it is not. Try again.

Great advice. What's the secure url for Slashdot again?
Nice strawman. He doesn't mention or even allude to methodology.
And how many great ideas did not get to see further publication? This is selection bias, as well as absence of evidence bias, among other things.
So exercise your rights as a consumer to research beforehand and not buy it. Or return it. Or modify it, as you have.
He DID modify it, as you noted. What's the problem?
Cyber != internet. Stuxnet hit Iran's nuclear enrichment facilities through USB drives. Being airgapped is not sufficient.
