  1. This...this seems like the prelude to Terminator's Judgement Day.

    Do you want Judgement Day? Because that's how you get Judgement Day!

  2. What could possibly go wrong? on Square Debuts New Email Payment System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Obviously this is a front for the NSA so they can get rid of the traditional means of tracking bank transactions and just lump it all into the haystacks of email data the already collect! Government efficiency at it's finest! Brilliant!!

  9. The guild?! on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 1

    FTFA: Crawford brought Feight, both said they were committed to building the device and named the group "the guild," the indictment said.

    I knew it! The Guild of Calamitous Intent really needs to get their act together and reign in these crazies. I blame Phantom Limb.

  10. Re:It's incredible to me on Bill Regulating 3D Printed Guns Announced In NYC · · Score: 1

    And yet you post as AC, huh?

    It's less about being scared of the alleged 'boogie man' than it is about being realistic. Alot of things can happen when the average police response times between 5 and 10 minutes [http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/cvus/previous/cvus107.pdf]. Assuming an AK-47 is makes for the best defense ever is absurd. A moderate caliber handgun (between 9mm and .45) is sufficient for protecting oneself between the 911 call and the police showing up.

    On the subject of being realistic, using an AK-47 for home defense is just dumb. A 7.62x39 bullet has way too much penetration potential! You run the risk of shooting through both interior walls, some exterior walls, and into neighboring structures.

    About 3 months...depending. One guy at our office had it wanting to re-auth after three days of being disconnected.

  12. Re:Hmmm ... on 'Smart Gun' Firm Wants You To Fund Its Prototype · · Score: 1

    ... but realistically the situations where a firearm is useful for self defense where 6 shots isn't enough is rather unusual. And ultimately the result of overpowered weapons having been created for the small penis set in the first place.

  15. *sigh* on Secession Petitions Flood White House Website · · Score: 1

    Dear World,
    I want to apologize for the childish actions of my fellow Texans that would setup and sign such a petition. Their actions do not reflect the wishes and nature of Texans as a whole. I wish they would go buy a Caribbean island (not sending them south...Mexico doesn't deserve that) and start their own 'country', if they feel they can run something like that. I would like to remind my fellow Texans that following the war for independence from Mexico we were barely a republic and really wanted to become a state, only staying a republic for about 10 years due to the United States wanting to avoid war with Mexico. It is important to note that US troops fought and died against Mexico to annex Texas ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Texas_(1845%E2%80%931860) ).

    tl;dr

    Not all Texans want what these jackasses want.

    Sincerely,
    Shiro
