  1. Re:How hard can it be? on The Tricky Science of Olympic Gender Testing · · Score: 1

    Don't think anyone with severe genetic abnormalities is going to make it to the Olympics. Maybe the Special Olympics, but who cares about categories there, everyone's a winner.

  2. Re:Could shake things up on Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Gun Control, and Patent Law · · Score: 1

    The equivalent of calling in a bomb threat is walking around pointing a gun a people. Yeah, it's an illegal use of a gun. But possession of a guns is supposed to be legal. The equivalent of gun control in your example is restricting who is allowed to use telephones, perhaps making cell phones illegal. Of course prepaid phones will likely eventually be restricted, using your logic of public safety

  3. Re:Quality and quantity on Is TV Over the 'Net Really Cheaper Than Cable? · · Score: 1

    Defeats the purpose of the caps which is to protect their TV product and generate extra profit through overage billing. Your proposal probably just adds a cost and reduces profit.

  4. Re:Amazed on How a 3-Year-Old Can Open a Gun Safe · · Score: 1

    Why wouldn't weapons technology be interesting? The image I have of gun prohibitionists is of menopausal former cheerleaders who find even screwdrivers mysterious and threatening

  5. Re:Look on "Bomb Threat" Tweet Conviction Overturned By UK Appeals Court · · Score: 1

    Context and intent. Without these meaning and criminality are indeterminate. In fact your ranting about reaching your "LIMITS" over the nude pictures I posted of your mom seems awfully threatening...

  6. Re:But ... on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 1

    A gun is not the best tool for a murderer. Notice that all of these shooters a immediately caught, while serial killers can operate for decades or never be apprehended, and they rarely use guns, and certainly wouldn't need a lot of bullets or expensive rifles. Canada and the UK still recognize a monarch (srsly?!), they are no examples in how to live.

  7. Re:But ... on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 1

    Gun control advocates are pretty clear that they want a complete ban on civilian ownership, or as close to a complete ban as practical. I.e. risk management by eliminating the risk. Name any group that is made up of gun owners or that advocates for citizens to be equipped to defend their lives at least as well as police.

    Hire mature adults who don't feel the need to whine about their delicate feelings like...women?

  10. Re:Hire a trainer on Ask Slashdot: Preempting Sexual Harassment In the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    How is wearing a short skirt conforming to any reasonable group dynamic? Shouldn't some sort of androgynous coverall be mandated? What about all the cute and feminine topics of conversation that bore and disgust men?

  11. Re:Good grief... on Ask Slashdot: Preempting Sexual Harassment In the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    Women's lobbying groups would have written a law favoring women no matter how men behaved.

    Guys, this is my weapon and this is my gun, one is for killing the other... whatever it is that makes people feel so potent holding a weapon, please get over it.

    What makes you so moist at the reverse? From Fifty Shades of Grey to the Nuremberg Rallies, the appeal of submission is a darkness undermining human reason.

  13. Re:Odd statement on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 1

    Most people like yourself are barely literate or capable of reason. In the parenthetical it only implies that militias should be regulated; being able to own weapons, on the other hand, is clearly affirmed as a "right" that "shall not be infringed".

  15. Re:Marginal Returns on Comcast Launches Superfast Internet To Fight FiOS · · Score: 1

    Hard to tell with no competition, but it could be a fair, since the infrastructure is the main expense. Modern HDDs, for example, don't drop in price any more, the $/GB just drops.

    Well I just started an ISP that offers 300Tb/s! (Monthly bandwidth is limited to 0.0 bytes). Only $99 per month. Hurry this special offer won't last long!!!!!

    Yeah and Ghz is ridiculous when you can have cheap Mhz! Come on, 100KB/s upload, normal 10 years ago, isn't even adequate anymore. 16mb/s is actually more expensive than 300mb/s once the technology advances, and actually 300 over copper is a waste of resources too.

  19. Re:so WTF do you need this for? on Comcast Launches Superfast Internet To Fight FiOS · · Score: 1

    Even opening a bunch of sites in separate tabs can bog down a 10mbps connection for several long seconds. And really it's time for Netflix to upgrade qualiy (here's where you say you can't tell the difference in resolution because you are legally blind)

    Well what about Acetaminophen? Look cute and have actually killed dozens of children. Do people really need to put children in danger just to relieve headaches?!

    That involves childproofing the kid's home, not removing electrical sockets, ovens, medication, stairs etc. from the entire world.

    All the colorful liquid cleaners that kids poison themselves with do far more damage. Then there are lawnmowers, swimming pools, stairs, etc. Women need to have kids earlier so if their toddlers drop dead they can have more. If after 10 births none have survived the buckyballs, we can conclude that nature just doesn't want that DNA to propagate.

    In the years following WWII terrorist movements were quite active, yet the veterans of that conflict didn't use some twisted logic to introduce murder into police tactics. Well at least not officially, or on a large scale.
