  1. Re:The difference on Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards · · Score: 1

    Also note that many of the people who advocate guns like to claim that this is their way of ensuring that they can fight back against the government. So these people are harboring fantasies of hiding in the bushes fighting their own government! Hardly what I could call a patriotic attitude...

    Check out the battle of athens in 1946

    Military members stationed stateside aren't authorized to carry weapons on base unless they are in training or in certain units. Military bases are gun free zones bud.

    Sony manufactures the ones made in the uk, idk who makes the ones made in china but they aren't sony. I have two 512mb models made in china and one 256mb model made in china.

    The ultimate irony is that if you buy a raspberry pi it's either made by god knows who in china, or sony in the uk. The chinese ones have had quality issues suppoesly but given sony's track record i was thankful i got the chinese made ones.

    "pants-on-head retarded" ? no it probably doesn't exist in the constitution but Article I, Section 8, Clause 3 says "To regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes;" that's a fancy way of saying they have the authority to regulate interstate commerce. How applicable it is for 99% of the stuff they say allows it I wont argue, but the constitution does in fact give them the authority to regulate commerce among the states.

  7. Re:TSA, terrorism, gun control, and mass shootings on Taking Sense Away: Confessions of a Former TSA Screener · · Score: 1

    Interesting that you link to that video, The first person he gives a drivers license number to and it appears she enters it in a computer (background check possibly?) the second refuses to sell to him because he doesn't have a texas drivers license and the third they angle the camera up and claim the guy sold them the gun but it looks to me that the guy is leaning back and waiting for the next guy as in he didn't sell to them. and all in all at the end of the video they admit to multiple felonies in the recording of the video. The guy is from washington, dc which means he can't legally buy a gun in texas the only person breaking the law (or using a loophole) is the guy filming the video itself.

    You're talking about parametrized queries not prepared statements. My example actually is a prepared statement. the query isn't executed until you run ibase_execute($hnd) (although it is quite useless given that I didn't put any parameters in) interestingly enough just in your quick reply you made a few mistakes. You don't need the single quotes around the parameter names and you didn't sanitize your input variables. Maybe writing secure database code isn't quite so easy.

    presumably you own your home and the land it's on (if you don't then that clause was not nullified check with the fcc they make it pretty clear that homeowners associations can restrict installations in certain instances). I doubt this guy owned the datacenter, the network and any other random hardware in the way. Those people have the right to terminate someone leasing their equipment for the reasons outlined in their contract.

    You seem to be confusing The Wii with the XBox 360. The Wii has ~40-50% market share globally and XBox and ps3 split what is left over. Now in the US my understanding is the XBox 360 is the clear leader.

    Just because you can doesn't mean it isn't a contractual violation. T-mobile says you should pay them money to use the feature but doesn't block you. It's the honor system but t-mobile does in fact charge you to tether. You are just being dishonest and tethering without paying.
