I had a lot of problems with the Orange Pi PC board using the 5v 2a power supply that it called for. I started using a 5.3v 2a samsung charger as my power supply and now it has no problems with any image.
The maximum age of a star is defined by the physics of the reaction. It was so be small enough to burn slow and cool, but big enough to sustain.
There are however, stars with a *known* age older than the 13.8 billion year estimate for a big bang universe. The one I know off the top of my head is: Wikipedia, HD_140283
And not just firearm related crimes. Civilian CPL holders are less likely to commit crimes in general according to the data I have been so far able to collect. (Crimes that could get jail time, not crimes that get fines.)
I know I am going to say something un-cited right after you asked that guy to name sources, but I don't have them. If I did, I would be citing myself in an unfinished study.
The real reason the US has such a larger percentage of people violently using firearms is economic disparity. Other nations with similar firearm laws, but have a more equitable society, do not have these same problems. Other nations that have (had in this case) similar firearm rights but also had economic disparity, had issues as well. Any of those examples have had those rights curtailed.
Now this part is purely speculation. You say firearms are not a keystone of a modern free democracy (and I do agree with you,) I would imagine that after a financial collapse that firearms would regain some of their necessity. Regardless of my prior statement, and as you allude to in your post, and as it has been since the beginning of time, freedom of information will still be much more important than an access to weapons for any democracy.
Guesses in the previous post do not represent the intentions of the poster, or any knowledge of the intentions of others the poster may or may not know..
Any resemblance that the guesses may bear to the future events involving the GCHQ & Whitehall, either directly or indirectly, are purely coincidental..
Snowden gave the trove of files to The Guardian at least. The specific leaks, after the initial ones, are decided by Glenn Greenwald and not Snowden.
Whether Greenwald gave some stuff to the Independent or Snowden did that earlier is unknown.
But my guess would be the whole episode of the UK Gov't detaining Mr. Miranda and forcing The Guarding to shred some systems seriously pissed off the British Press. Releasing UK-specific material is most likely payback. Spreading it around to other papers is most likely a signal that "threaten the Guardian with prior restraint, you better be ready to shut down every paper in the UK".
GCHQ and Whitehall fucked up royally with that and they are now going to pay for threatening a major newspaper.
Except it isn't *suprisingly* rarely, it's just rare. Like he said, "one of the safest." You are statistically much less likely to lose your life at the range than in the average American's home (or about equally as safe if your not married.)
The link has one shooting that was more than one. A murder suicide of a mother killing her son and herself. The rest are all single accidents, suicide and one homicide. The point, although exaggerated is none of these are mass shootings.
You can play semantics and insult people, but it only lowers your own credibility.
My anecdotal experience has shown me that most non-firearm owners are of the same opinion. You just never end up in a 'debate' with reasonable people, regardless of the topic.
Personally, I see the side that has launched the least logical fallacies in any debate the "winner."
Article One, Section 8(8) of the U.S. Constitution:
"The Congress shall have power... to promote the progress of science and useful arts, by securing for limited times to authors and inventors the exclusive right to their respective writings and discoveries."
Patents are very constitutional-- however this whole "corporations are people" thing is a complete perversion of the 14th amendment.

I respectfully disagree. I'm enjoying this thoroughly.
No mod points today; glad someone is thinking with a wider view.
Btw, don't bombs cost more than $42 to make? A lot more?
Nope. I won't get detailed on making field expedient explosives; you'll have to trust me that they can be made on the cheap.
That is one of the things I told 1&1 when I stopped using them a couple years ago. I guess that feedback didn't change anything.
Thank you for this. I read it to late but thank you none the less.
" I wonder if I lived in Canada if the prices would be in Canadian dollars.
They still have prices in US dollars, but they say that they are. For example, I could buy your tie rod end for "US$36.99"
If Slashdot started with that sponsored stories bs, it would be dead to me.

Just mentioning in case it helps someone.
And this was the funniest thing I've read on the internet since Monday at least :)
Ok, just read the link I actually gave. Apparently the age has been adjusted from the ~16 Billion since I first read of it. Disregard...

As we are currently creating that omnipresent surveillance state, that post was much more profound than I imagine you intended.
No mod points--so I'll just tell you, I *loved* that post.

Why does no one seem to know that the ACLU does support firearm rights? The ACLU is pro Constitutional rights.
The ACLU filed amicus for the prosecution on Heller v. DC and McDonald v. Chicago.
Breaking that down for you--the ACLU was on the same side as the NRA for only two cases to reach the Supreme Court (of the US) since 1939.

Just a guess, mind you.
The difference being that one pilot can put multiple drones in the air, putting them on auto program, and then monitoring for errors/emergencies.

I'd mod this to +6 if I could. Thank you for laying that out with such clear analogies for everyone.
And then mod you up for proper hilarity! :)
I guess it was your turn :)
