That does not really fix the issue in that instance. Guns are not the problem in suicide it is the persons mental health. They can find another way to take their life. Don't get me wrong though it is very unfortunate that this happens.
This issue is control really when you think about it. If your gun is electronic than it is easier for me to disable it and control you. Even a small EMP could do the trick I reckon.
You are right that the game has a basic concept, but I think that can sometimes work in your favor. My brother and I love minecraft since it lets us use our imaginations, and that is in my opinion a good selling point for the game. Not only that, but is it cheap and the replay value is enormous.
You make a very good point. Also people who deal with computer security should know that the newer and more user friendly something is the more likely that it will be that the system is more vulnerable.
I agree with you on this. They could just use newer stuff, but just keep if off the grid like they have with the current system. The only reason why it hasn't been hacked is for the simple fact that they let no one touch it. That has always been a good form of security when you think about it. If you don't want to get hacked do not connect it to anything, and definitely don’t let anyone touch it as well.
I wouldn't say that the security lies in obscurity. The real security lies in the fact that they do not let anyone without clearance near the nukes. Which can be a good form of security if done right.
I would nto be surprised if that is one of the main reasons why they never upgraded. Who in their right mind would want nukes connected to the internet? I know I sure wouldn't.
I think a lot of people do not know what their options are. I don't know if it is like this everywhere, but when I was in school they pushed the "everyone needs to go to college" mentality that you speak of. Which of course has set up a lot of people for failure, and after that they just work a dead end job for the rest of their life. I agree with you in that we need to show kids these days that there are many different things that they can choose from.
Very true, and not only that but given the nature of social media you can't rely on an online profile as a form of identity for someone. Obviously anyone can make a fake profile of someone they do not like and pretend to be them. I could never see this so called "EULA" ever holding up.
I'm no scientist and even I get frustrated with how little people understand basic concepts. It drives me nuts, and truthfully I think most people don’t want to understand since they don’t want to be labeled as a “Nerd” or “Geek”. It is pretty sad really, people should be praised for being smart not ridiculed.
Considering most people use smart phones these days "phone records collection" I am sure can mean a lot of things. Not just who you call, but what is on your phone as well I reckon.
You can, but I seriously doubt it would be practical. Sometimes it is necessary to take a toll road. I am just saying you do not have to since the person tried to compare roads to internet access. In the case of Comcast they are not like a road. If they are the only game in town, which they are in many areas, you will have to use them.
Finally, someone with some common sense. Every time I say this myself I get a lot of people claiming that the dollar could never fail and all the government needs to do is keep printing more and more money. I would like to think they are trolling me, but I seriously think that these people believe that you can just keep printing more and more forever. Like you said at some point something has to give.
Thank you, so many people want to blame just one when obviously, like you pointed out here, we have been going downhill for some time now due to our so called leaders. Unfortunately though people just want to point their finger at one person, and don’t want to admit that their favorite politician is in on it just like the rest of them.

Even if it did cost more it would be better to spend the money in your own country rather than send it all over seas.
I have another great one to add to your list, Aquaria.

If that is what it takes I am with you on that one. The greed in this country is so ridiculous.

There are plenty of ways to get free money for school while in the military. A perfect example is me I go to school full time and don't pay a dime.

Usually the markup on things we buy can be pretty high. Sometimes it can be as bad as 200%-400% no joke.

This can be great in some ways. However it can be very bad in others. Why is it social media is always wanting to creep for us?

Great, so now I am a "terrorist"...

I knew there would be some sort of loop hole. I never stoppped to think about a large corporation being counted in these hops.
That is what I am saying. Like you have said the analogy does not seem to work well.

No one makes you take a toll road.
