    All new consumer PC's come with windows 8. It is pretty much unavoidable unless you have a legacy windows 7 license.

    I still have windows 7, and in the 4 to 8 years it will take my top of the line PC to become hopelessly outdated, I am hoping that something other than windows 8 becomes a viable option.

    Or perhaps its time to recognize that working your ass off just to barely survive is no longer necessary in modern society.

    We could seriously cut labor hours to 30 or maybe even 20 hours a week with full employment, and still be able to provide the necessities for everyone as well as moderate levels of entertainment and low end luxury goods.

    One gun does help against many guns.

    The first one to move against you is likely to be shot and risk death.

    Then the remaining 6 have to decide to risk themselves to attempt the assault, flee or return fire. In all cases, the rape can be prevented, though at the risk of the death of the victim, a risk that was already present.

    This absolutely is a tragic event. I am not making any false rationalization that it isn't.

    But that doesn't mean that I should throw rationality out the window.

    Rationality is for lack of a better word, my religion.

    And you thing a murderer when faced with a gun ban will just give up?

    He can buy an illegal gun, or make a bomb, or use a crossbow, or poison, or just get up close and use a pointy stick or hefty rock.

    The murder rate is not related to the relative legality of firearms.

    Guns elevate the power of the powerless. A 90lb 5ft tall college girl isn't going to be able to fight off a gangrape with her strength alone, with a gun she can. You may never be able to match the power of an oppressive government, but you can become more equal by being armed.

    Bleach and Ammonia do not create a big boom, they produce a very irritating poisonous gas that is dangerous but not usually fatal.

    I wouldn't necessarilly say that "obviously there are not enough" but I do not disagree that a better licensing system may keep some guns out of the hands of some crazy wacked out nutjobs.

    Not all restrictions are onerous and unconstitutional, there is room for some gun control, but not bans.

    Or maybe the iphone is inefficient with its data packing. Or maybe it spies on you more than android and sends more data back to apple. Or maybe android appeals to a wider range of users, including those who don't use their phones constantly.
