YES Jobs statement was inaccurate. But his war on Flash was successful.
I just wished that instead of wasting time trying to kill Flash he had simply fixed the piece of frakking divinely condemned fecal matter that is iTunes. (Sorry for the profanity, but I have NEVER EVER in my life dealt with a worse piece of software.
Your inaccuracies, fallacies, false statements, and attitude really makes me think if you oppose them so much. Sell your guns, get rid of your FOID. And trust to your hands.
Same way a tan, pink, or grey gun would. It's not approved on California's approval list. Which costs a small fortune to get on. And they make a distinguishment for mere color.
So essentially, it would prevent all Californians from buying any firearm not meeting the standard.
Think of it as passing a law to ban cars that get less than 40mpg. Think what would happen to people who rely on the used car market. Working Joe can't go out and buy a new $30,000 car. They rely on the used market.
Likewise, only the biggest manufacturers could afford to implement. And some people need the firearms made by smaller companies for reasons of comfort, health, handalibility, and safety
The idea as an alternative to a costly standing army is BS. The founders were opposed to a standing army on principle, and the militia was to be able to stand against one if formed.
And just what does "bear" mean? Give birth to? What do you say it means?
I guess I have a right to give birth to arms.
Oh, and how are handguns prohibited.
You make 1/2 a dozen claims and give zero substantiation. That's called propaganda and BS.
So how does it play out when Newspapers post the names and addresses of those who have carry permits. Essentially informing all the criminals of where to go steal guns.
Can we hold the newspapers liable for criminal action and shut down such liberal rags?
I've surveyed numerous people regarding this technology. Most with 1/2 a brain figure out how to by-pass the technology in under 30 seconds.
Do you really think a criminal is too stupid to a) file down the firing pin or b) replace it?
Micro-stamping was a badly thought out idea in which a company figured they could get rich by forcing it on gun companies through politics. But the technology failed to be viable for the cause. Which is true of MOST gun control laws.
Meanwhile, recent Auburn shooter had a number of prior arrests for weapon charges but was never prosecuted. If we can't enforce the numero uno gun control law "convicted bad guys can't have guns". But we don't enforce that law 90% of the time... and then we want to do things like ban guns that are black.
And you wonder why gun owners think gun ban advocates are dumb.
1) Less than public school kids reading ability essentially equates to illiteracy. Considering how many of my classmates in public high school could not read beyond 4th grade level.
2) Don't blame home schooling itself. Just as there are good and band schools. There are good and bad home schools.
My wife was home schooled. She is now an RN. Her brother was home schooled. Earn a number of competitive scholarships. He was even on the TV show "The Scholar" and placed 3rd. Attended Dartmouth university and did quite well. My wife's sister, who was also homeschooled, just graduated from Dartmouth as well.
Overall, I would say that 90% of the homeschoolers excel over the public school students. Yes, there are some failings. But far far less than found in public schools.
CS5 was released in 2010, followed by CS5.5 in 2011. CS6 was just released in April.
So to say the solution for a owner of Adobe's CS suites (which can run over a thousand dollars) is to upgrade to a newer version is kind of ridiculous.
Say you just bought CS5.5 in February. Now you have to pay $550 to make your software safe? Or let's say you bought CS5 Master Collection back in March 2011.
You now have to pay over $1,000 to upgrade a 14 month old program.
SERIOUSLY
Adobe please point shotgun at face and pull trigger again and again....FIRE YOU CEO!!!!
In fact, you almost come across as if you're a pedophile trying to justify yourself as not being any worse than a doctor.
And the answer is YES, there would be more harm with a pedophile doing the exact same thing that a doctor might. Yes there is more harm in a pedophile doctor than a non-pedophile doctor.
Murderous rage would have prevented 11 million Jews and others being killed by the Nazis. Perhaps if we had been a little bit more enraged millions of children wouldn't have been snuffed out of existence.
"claimed that weather stations exaggerated the warming trend. This was disproven by satellite data"
Cause I recall satellite data being reported as showing more of a cooling trend.
"solar activity was blamed for much of the warming. This looked like a promising theory until the '80s"
Wait, I remember the 80's, I was in elementary school and being taught that we were headed toward a potential ice age.
"climate contrarians are convinced that changes in cloud cover will largely mitigate the warming caused by increased CO2"
Well, hadn't heard that one. Did hear the one about how CO2 is nothing compared to H2O in regards to greenhouse affect.
"New York Times examines how even this last bastion"
Really, last bastion, um...not sure where you're getting that from. Plenty of arguments against the alarmism. The fact that most predictions, facts, etc have proven false and had to be recanted.
"common theories of stellar evolution predict that the sun was only 70 percent of its current brightness when it first lit its fusion engine 4.5 billion years ago. The sun has been steadily growing brighter since then and will continue so into the future, eventually evaporating away Earth's oceans."
So the conclusion of scientists is that the earth is continually getting warmer. Okay, go that...
"In some simulations, methane and carbon dioxide combine to make a photochemical smog that would have chilled Earth even further."
Wait, I thought CO2 was that all-warming all covering gas. You know, the one that is less of a green house gas than water. But is hyped as the big difference.
Granted, I would like to see what affect a few super volcanoes might have in blanketing an ice-covered earth with ash. I'd wager that would also resolve the issue more simply.
Must also add this is the first time I've heard Immanuel Velikovsky's in a print article in years.
That said, I tend toward leaning toward a catalysmic world model. I think the fact that we see such a record of impacts on the moon, and other planetoids while at the same time not seeing many in this day and age point to a more dynamic past. Combined with the fact that there is a bunch of debris instead of a planet between Mars & Jupiter.
How many accidents? Have you had? [Me, one when I was 19, and didn't have a cell phone.]
How many near accidents? Have you had? [Three in the past 5 years, none of which involved use of my cell phone.]
Oh, I did have someone yell profusely at me for using my cell phone about 4 years ago, they were quite irate. I really wanted to point out to them however, that I had right away and they ran the stop sign. But I realized they were just morons and continued on my way. I also avoided their nearly hitting me.
I receive very few. Ironically, most of them are when I am "not" using my phone and sitting at a stop light and waiting for cars to clear and someone wants me to turn right quickly - but they don't understand that my car has poor acceleration so I wait for extra room.

Well Pope,
Your inaccuracies, fallacies, false statements, and attitude really makes me think if you oppose them so much. Sell your guns, get rid of your FOID. And trust to your hands.
Seriously, not trolling. This is basic facts of the matter. That are largely ignored by the proponents of gun control.
One of my all time favorites. Tends to stand the test of time really well. It's one of Heinlein's juveniles series. :-)

Arms = personal arms, and an M16 should be legal as it is used by the US military.
The reason short barreled shotguns are banned was because of the argument it had no military use.
You try walking around town with your sniper rifle.
While good citizens walk around with a .380 in their pocket which you never know about. ;-)
"Infringed"...what does that mean?
"regulated" ... meant trained

ROTFL at a troll.
But hey Michael Moore is a NRA Life Member.
FOID FUD
So you've got a shotgun and go turkey hunting every couple of years.
Your claims are hogwash, and you know it or are smoking too much ganja.
Individual right has been held by most for the dawn of this nation....and before.
Wait...
What about the undercover air marshalls, and pilots with guns.
Oh, and might I point out that the hijackers had a level playing field and "succeeded"

Abu Graib inmate actually has a much better chance of winning in court.
I was a paid deckhand. And if I grabbed a little girl to get her out of the way of danger, that would be doing my job.
But if I grabbed a little girl and started fondling her genitalia and feeling her up. I'd be out of a job and likely sitting in a jail cell.
There is a HUGE difference. I really hope you're not groping and fondling little girls while you rescue them.
Yes, it's expensive, time consuming. And essentially guaranteed to be dismissed because you're trying to sue the Federal government.

As a daddy, no one touches my little girls there except a doctor for medical reason.
IF they do, they wind up on floor unconscious.
And if you feel it's okay for TSA to do such pat downs, how about teachers? neighbors? strangers? how about I pat down your wife....nice.
If it's not okay for citizens, it's not okay for the government who derives their power from the citizens.

Now taking two pages of notes, that definitely is Dunning-Kruger.
But let's see, first off
There is actually a way to measure that....
