Chances are, if you killed yourself with a gun (at least on purpose), without a gun you'd kill yourself some other way. Guns are a tool.
Accidents happen. More kids drown in pools than are "accidentally" shot each year. Guess which one we are trying to ban? http://consumer.healthday.com/Article.asp?AID=664890 Accidental Shootings account for only 760 per yr (avg). Cars, Drowning and several other "accidents" are well ahead of guns. Guess which one we are trying to ban?
So, for the small fraction of people too stupid to do the right thing, you're going to punish everyone? Would you consider the same kind of option for "voting" ??
How about they make a safe "Hammer" or "club" since these kill more people than all rifles every year? Oh right, because rifles are big loud scary objects!
I realize that stolen guns are a big item in criminal circles, but my guess is these will be "hacked". Additionally, if these guns prove less than reliable (doesn't fire by the "owner"). And finally who is actually clamoring for "smart gun" weaponry, besides the anti-gun nuts?
Explain to me, how it is an (R) problem when the (D) party controls just about everything state wide, and has controlled the legislature for more than a decade. (R)s have held the governor's office here and there, but were mostly RINO neocons like Wilson and Arnold . The last relatively "conservative" governor was Dukemejian.
I love it when liberals blame others for the mess they have created for themselves. California gets what it deserves, and the (D)s can blame nobody but themselves.
Oh, BTW, I'm Libertarian so don't toss me into the (R) lot. If the (R)s had been in office as long as the (D)s it would be just as screwed up as it is now, just from different things. Out system best performs when it is socially liberal, fiscally conservative, basically Libertarian.
Active Exploitable (in the wild) Security flaws should have ZERO day disclosures. And companies should be required to offer up mitigation tips for people who have software that isn't patched.
Screw that, a real Windows admin uses Powershell. Pointing and clicking is not "administration" if the boss can do it. Which is what Metro interface is all about.
You're use of command line is strangely reminiscent of Unix. The very thing Windows was supposed to be better at, because one didn't have to know the command line to do common tasks. I guess nobody shuts computers down any more.
It was more than just teaching programming. He also wanted access to other systems. You don't give access to production systems to students in cases like this. You build a sandboxed virtual world for them to play in. Pretending students aren't malicious is just ignorant wishful thinking. Most students are probably decent kids not wanting to cause harm, but accident prone and malicious students exist.
If there is legal reasons to not award people under the age of 17 with rewards and such for doing good, then the law is wrong. But then again, this is the "nanny state" where we write laws to protect people from themselves, and in the name of "protecting the children". These laws fix outlying problems at the expense of everyone else.
But wait, the Global Warming alarmists keep insisting that these glaciers always existed, and never were gone before Modern Man! IF these plants existed before the Glaciers then... the earth... was once warmer than it is now... and all life didn't perish in the heat. I'm afraid that the cry "earth is warming" cry is misleading at best. The goal of Global Warming (or Cooling if you're from the 70's) is singular, control of humans by the elites.
Who knows, global warming may be good for life on earth, allowing more land to be inhabited.
The girl obviously had self esteem issues from before the drunken stupor, and posting the videos only made those problems worse. Yeah, I would blame the parents first, not that blame means anything. Chances are, she is from a single mother family OR her daddy did things to her no dad would ever do. But we shouldn't say anything about the parents because... well that would be "mean":/
VMs have one advantage that non-virtualized systems don't have. The ability to put several machines in their own sandboxed network, all managed by a single student who needs to demonstrate cooperating systems. Give every student a template of needed machines and a VM server and you have a small lab on every computer. One that is easily setup, cleared and re-setup for every class, and as needed.
VMs are a perfect solution for advanced computer systems management training.
Which is why they need to setup their own VLAN to isolate the VMs to the classroom. VM traffic is isolated to non-routing VLANS. They call this setup a "sandbox", and it is generally a good practice for classroom work.
As for which VM technology to use... VMWare, or ZEN or even Microsoft's version are usable. VMWare is sort of free, Xen definitely is. I'm not familiar with pricing on Microsoft's versions but schools tend to get steep discounts for server licenses. Look at OpenStack for management, I hear it is decent when it works.
Well, if you ask me, looking beyond just the obvious, PETA people are hypocrites on a much deeper level. They setup a shelter, specifically or implied (does not matter), because other shelters are "kill" shelters and after all, PETA is all about saving the animals. Then they don't want to spend any resources keeping the animals alive, and kill them.
THIS is all about appearances and not actually about animals. And if you look at their advertising campaign, this also bears out substantially. These people are all about publicity. Self serving, "look at me, I'm saving animals, Aren't I noble" publicity stunts.
If you want to serve and save animals, great, I have no complaints. Just don't ever give a penny to the idiots running PETA. The ASPCA is a better and more noble organization (for various degrees of nobility). Or find a local shelter and donate there. Just don't give another nickel to PETA.
Unless it is the other PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals).
1) If the funding for research that led to the "patent" was in any part public, then the Patent needs to be public domain at least for non-profit research. Period. 2) If the funding for the research was not public, then the Government should pay for the patent, and make it public domain for non-profit continuing research.
Ether case, The patent should be still commercially viable for commercial purposes.
Interestingly enough, my subjective and anecdotal evidence suggests that stupid people "see" things that aren't there, don't see thing that are there, and generally are governed by that which is immediate in front of them, but are easily distracted by things in the periphery. . Conversely, smarter people are able to see more because they do filter out meaningless things, and the "Squirrel" effect is very brief if at all.
Again, all of that is completely subjective and anecdotal.
During the "man hunt" (one teenaged man) in Boston, they shut the entire city down and put it in full martial law, searching houses without warrants in violation of the 4th Amendment. What Liberties indeed. "we suspend the constitution during this crisis, and appoint Palpatine as supreme leader"
Slashdot Mirror
Somewhere south of 1,000 accidental deaths per year. Stolen Guns account for 90% of all murders (7,600). Hey look, criminals use guns in crimes! Wow.
Gahhh, If you're not advocating it, don't give them any ideas!!
Well, it is obvious the liberal (D) can't run things. Every place they infect, there is huge problems. Chicago, DC, California ....

Not to mention, 3D printed guns :-D
Problem not solved, and new problems created! Yay!
So, for the small fraction of people too stupid to do the right thing, you're going to punish everyone? Would you consider the same kind of option for "voting" ??
Are those "real" problems or problems imagined by people not liking guns?
How about they make a safe "Hammer" or "club" since these kill more people than all rifles every year? Oh right, because rifles are big loud scary objects!
What problem does this solve?

Something reasonable finally coming from the California Legislature. Let see how well the (D) can screw this up, by exempting their buddies.

"Legal Complications"

Forkbomb is only successful if you don't have limits on your VM environment. You have put limits on your environment, right?
