    Private manufacture of non NFA restricted firearm is legal.

  2. Re:"Gun industry does" on The Problem With Mandatory Drone Registration (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 1

    false. It's perfectly legal to manufacture on your milling machine an AR-15 lower-receiver without a serial number... As the lower receiver *is* the firearm as far as the ATF is concerned, the produced rifle is perfectly untraceable. You can do the same with 80% 1911 frame.

  3. Re: Difference? on The Problem With Mandatory Drone Registration (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 0

    Most people don't give a fuck about the rule of the road. They are extra careful when it's time to get their license, but once without supervision, they don't respect all the rules. So the parallel is irrelevant...

    The vast majority of people flying quadcopters don't already do illegal stuff. Nobody is gonna read regulations, it's just gonna be more paperwork nobody give a shit about...

    then stfu, don't read the article, and go get a life. it's not as if you had a gun pointed to your head making you read this stuff.

  6. Not solving a damn thing... on NBC News Reports US Will Require Registration For Consumer Drones (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    This is the same bs as with guns. Those who will fly those drones near airport will make damn sure to remove any serial number or registration mark. Criminals don't give a fuck about registration / regulation.

    but, how can this be ? Aren't women always the victims of perverted ugly old fat tenured professors ?

  9. Re:Here's a thought... on How Academia Still Struggles With Sexual Harassment (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: -1

    What real men do to get into women's pant is all likely at some point to be considered "sexual harassment". Some women will get dripping wet from it, some won't.

    doing the quick math, 4k@60Hz require 14Gbps of bandwidth, so 8k@120Hz should at least be able to push 112Gbps... Not anytime soon.

  12. What interface ? on Japan Display Squeezes 8K Resolution Into 17-inch LCD, Cracks 510 PPI At 120Hz · · Score: 4, Interesting

    4k already needs DisplayPort 1.2 to be able to push data at 60Hz. What interface can conveniently push 8k at 120Hz ??

    You can hardly define Dylann Roof as lunatics. Racist ? sure. Evil ? sure. Mad ? no. Even Republicans admitted the shooting motives were racist.

  20. Re:For the Record on 10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College · · Score: 1

    For those that resist even the most minimal of background checks and waiting periods, you are so devoted to your Gun ideology that you can’t see there is a middle ground that can save lives.

    Universal background checks mandates registration, which is unenforceable (and defeat the purpose of the 2nd amendment).

    or the good guy to shoot the bad guy... (note that I'm not making assumption on mental health of the bad gun...). So all in all, a gun is just a tool to fulfill an aim.

  22. Re:NRA and gun control on 10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College · · Score: 1

    A compromise might be, "amending the constitution to make clear that the ownership and possession of guns by private citizens is a natural god given right that may only be taken away in individual cases by a court of law that rules someone mentally incompetent."

    which is pretty much already the case...
