It seems jrepin should have read your link before posting. Or maybe the article was really meant for a different audience. Or maybe slashdot is no longer the audience I thought it was.
These kinds of policies are a result of repeated gun violence at schools. There are other factors, but gun violence is a large part of the motivation. Given the number of guns in this country (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_guns_per_capita_by_country), the likelihood of an empty threat becoming a real threat is something most school administrators are not prepared to ignore.
If you could have coded it from scratch, you knew how to weed out all the crap and pick the correct example. You also knew enough to realize that the example was an implementation simplified enough to fit in a web page. And, as a result, you enhanced the example to make it robust enough for production use. You did do that, didn't you?
Please don't tell me you are one of those MORONS who relies on software for real-time instructions
Since this is slashdot, I shouldn't have to remind you of the things in the modern world that depends on real-time instructions from software. But I will say this: If software running on 1960's technology could get humans to the moon and back, it is not unreasonable for me to expect my phone to tell me how to get to ikea.
In the US, more poeple have died of gunshot wounds in the last month than have died from Ebola since it was discovered. Let's not talk about rational, effective responses from conservatives.
Why do so many people misspell and mispronounce that?
The better question is "Why do you care?" I submit a "get off my lawn" rant without proofreading, and the best you can do is criticize my spelling of the name of a crappy burger joint. Your internet-foo is weak.
As far as I'm concerned, MacDonalds is the one who doesn't know how to spell MacDonalds.
In the olden days, as my children like to call them, we learned that you only use an encyclopedia. For those too young to remember, and encyclopedia is a set of articles about stuff, like Wikipedia. It came in a large set of books. It was edited by a much smaller, and, we assume, more educated set of people than Wikipedia. But even so, we recognized that a small summary article could not sufficiently convey the complexity and nuances of the subjects we were eager to study. We also understood, that such a large volume of knowledge was likely to contain oversimplification and plain errors. That is why the articles included a bibliography of sources, so we could find those books and expand our knowledge more completely and accurately. Somewhere along the line, we grew lazy. We got used to the instant gratification of the internet. Somewhere along the line we decided it was too much trouble to GET OUR HEAD OUT OF OUR ASSES AND READ A FUCKING BOOK.
Sorry
This isn't about Wikipedia being unreliable. It's about authors being unreliable. Check your fucking sources, or get a job at MacDonalds.

Figures! Skynet is written in fucking JavaScript. The whole world is going to hell in a handbasket, and Brendan fucking Eich is still sitting there shrugging and making excuses about the schedule he was on.

Either that. Or the scan never picks up your "anomoly".
Don't sweat it. Denver can be a cold place.

possibly something even more addictive.
like Coca Cola.
"Threat" appears mutiple times in the title, summary and story.

Is it draconian? yes, but when you have unfettered access to firearms, this is what you get.

A lot of people in IT have no idea how IT works.
Why do I have the sudden urge to stand on the sidewalk in front of this guy's house with my toe poised half an inch above his grass?

Oh fuck it. Who the hell cares. I am so sick of you fucking nit-picking slashdot morons.
"Who the hell cares" should end in a question mark, even if it is only rhetorical.

If God had intended chickens to live out a natural life-span, he would not have invented so many tasty recipes with them as the main ingredient.

It not the number of messages that is the problem. It's the dick pic to serious content ratio.
WTF is a "gigafactory?"
It gets it's power from lightning striking the clock tower of Reno City Hall.
You mistook dismissal for whining and indifference for ignorance. Your comprehension of the English language is fleeting.

A contract, by definition, is all the strings written in.

And why does he include Heemeyer in when speaking of federal government?
Probably because of his sweet beard.
NSA ?
GCHQ ?
Or their equivalent from South Korea ?

Film continuity doesn't apply to the real continuity.
Do you mean the real continuity described in the excellent historical references published by Marvel Comics?
I think you meant to write, "It's's possessive."
