    Hunting for most of recorded human existence was done without guns, so that can be taken right off the argument table. When I say Kid I mean anyone under the age of an adult which is 18. I would say no one should have a gun except last time I did I almost got kicked off by some 2nd amendment freaks. Guns cause violence, more guns cause more violence and NOT the other way around.

    The NRA is really short for "the National Retards of America", simply put, no one has a need for a gun for any reason. It's a pointless amendment and should be taken out.

    It's very simple, just don't have firearms to begin with and you remove the accident variable. I have never owned, held or fired a gun, that also included my family and friends and NONE of us have seen a reason to do otherwise. So that includes about 40 people who have 0 use or needs for Guns.

    To prevent kids of getting harmed by guns? Why the hell are you letting a kid get a hold of a gun, I mean even accidently. Any child who is able to get a hold of a gun, even by accident should have his parents thrown in jail for gross negligence. A child never has to hold a gun for any reason, I don't care what your argument is, a child should never be in a situation where they need to grab a gun and use it. If your going to try the argument, "Well they could be at home alone!", if there is a gun in the house then make sure a parent is home. After all what about the kid that killed his sister from the gun that was loaded which he was given as a present! In the case his parents should be thrown in jail, the gift givers should be thrown in jail, the company selling the gun should have it's executives thrown in jail and the person who left the gun loaded should be thrown in jail. Kids do not, should not and will never need firearms. Anyone who disagrees is just wrong and seriously needs mental help.

  7. Biggest Perk on Do Developers Need Free Perks To Thrive? · · Score: 2

    Is to let the developers work and have fun. Don't stand over them demanding strict and tight control, the more fun you make the job the better it will get done.

  8. All operating systems work fundamentally the same way, they initialize the hardware, they manage requests to the hardware and manage resource loads. If someone can make an Operating System which doesn't follow this method of computer based management then I might agree with you.

  9. Haha well I haven't used the "newest" release of the software, so fair. I'm currently running 13.0 of the suite.

  10. I completely disagree that loading a computer with new software makes it a new machine. The machine "part" of the computer is the hardware not the software, the software is the operator. So reloading a computer with new software will change the operational purpose of the machine but not the machine itself. To put this another way, if I have a conveyor belt that just moves objects around, like a computer moves data around, then it doesn't matter who is operating the machine it will always be model xxy, I might change the operator many times in the life of the machine but that doesn't change the machine itself.

    Now lets be clear that I'm not talking about a FPGA! In a FPGA if you "reload" the software you will change the machine because in essence the "software" for a FPGA is like the internal gear system, you can configure it in 1000 different ways to do different tasks. One day it can be a conveyor build and the next it will be a bottle cap remover. So before someone comes in here and blows a gasket at me, I fully accept the fact that a FPGA is very different then a Computer.

  11. Just make health can public! on Larry Page: You Worry Too Much About Medical Privacy · · Score: 1

    How long will the US go on denying that public health care isn't the better option. Face it, there is no good reason to have private health care, you either have people that can't afford to get sick, or you have people that just pray nothing serious happens or in the final level you have people that can flat out afford it. I can solve the first two problems quickly, easily and painlessly, just make the health care system public! Every other first world country has open health care and all of those countries are above the US in the standard of health care provided. So you want to know the solution, just make it public.

    As for privacy, your kidding yourself if you think the health care system is private, it doesn't give a rats ass if your files are protected or even secure. Over the last 15 years I've had 5 MRI, digital and paper test results go missing, I've had other information just disappear from my file and the best part is no one seems to care. So apart from the health care system NOT being secure or private in anyway shape of form, private health care just makes no sense, you shouldn't be allowed to make health an exclusive club for the rich.

    But no one really has a need for them, so it goes back to the point that the 2nd amendment is pointless.

  14. Re:Why? on A Computer-based Smart Rifle With Incredible Accuracy, Now On Sale · · Score: 1

    First of all the 2nd amendment is just ridiculous, coming from Canada and NEVER owning a gun or even holding one, I can tell you it's never been a problem. Second of all giving the average man access to sniper ability, when you've already fundamentally proven that gun access control is broken, what do you really think the out come will be. The first shooting I hear about with this gun on an innocent person, I'll just say I told you so.

  15. I'm in the Embedded Engineering field, so I guess you were probably wrong.

  16. This is a horrible idea, so now instead of having students shooting up schools by coming through the front door, they can just sit on a hill and take out the teachers?

  17. I'm against patients in general, except for big billion dollar medical advancements I don't really see the point. Why can't we just share knowledge, intellect and wisdom and not slap each other with law suits.

    They still have to finish BB10 for playbooks, they still have many bugs to solve on the Z10 and Q5, so why are they planning a new software project, get the old stuff finished, then start a new project.
