  4. Re:Why does 3d printing matter on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    Those are illegal, but quite available.

    I said make them unavailable not make them illegal.
    Before making a response, read the post you are replying too.

    to make them unavailable you would have to stop there mass production of them world wide and stop limited production in secret this is impossible. so short of bombing every other country/company that has a gun fab and every person with to tools to make them, so the best you can do is outlaw them. if we cant stop drug manufacture how do you think we could stop the manufacture of guns

    i wonder if a 3d printer could be used to print ceramics using clay like substances instead of plastic that could produce much more durable, for certain purposes, parts. the fire chamber of a gun for example.

    I disagree.

    Making handguns unavailable would do a lot to end gangland murders. We have no need to convince you or me to not shoot each other, we need to disarm thugs. They prefer cheap and easily concealed pistols. The crime statistics show this.

    I do not need a gun for self protection and if I did I would move.

    no it won't other wise there would be no drug problem as we have banned the sale possesion and production of pot heroin meth and many other drugs yet they are every where any way its called a black market you can't get rid of you problems by banning.

    the problem isn't limited access to birth control its that they won't uses it. you can go to any number of places and get free condoms the problem is most of the gang bangers at least where i live happen to be Mexicans that were raised catholic and told that they will go to hell if the take the pill or put on a rubber. My cousin is a perfect example, she was raised in a relegions that is fine with birth control but she started going out with a catholic and he brought here to his priest that told her he she would go to hell if they used a condom she now has two kids by him and they cant afford them as her boy friend won't work.

    I find it ironic that the same gang members that will kill each other in cold blood are part of a religon that will forgive them there real murder but threatens them with eternal damnation for use of birth control as "thats murder"

    its not education its culture that promotes violence and despises protection thats the problem. if there were no such weapon as guns they would simply use their (already illegal yet they have anyway) switchblade or brass knuckles. as it is even if banned they would as no get theirs guns via the black market.

    they need to fix their culture i say they because no matter what we do we can't fix it for them. Until then they will keep killing each other in the streets of territory drugs and ego.

  10. Re:Meanwhile... on Five Internet Founders Share First £1 Million Engineering 'Nobel' Prize · · Score: 2

    I am a conservative, and as such hate 90% of the 'informed' opinions that you liberal east coast elites banty about here. However, as much as I hate Al Gore, I have to give him a large share of of the credit / blame for making the internets what it has become today. A lot of you uber edumicated elite either forgot, or are not old enough to remember what the internets was like bfore it became democritized e.g. commercialized. So yes Al gore rightly or wrongly had a large part in fucking up the interwebs. Before we had to use USENET and NNTP to search for porn. Now you faggots just engage in one big circle jerk on Facey Book. Seriously, I wish all you faggots would just get off my internet, and leave me and Al alone.

    and what was wrong with that?

    Or they are normal people who only have one system, only connect remotely to email and web servers, and don't give a shit about you, your systems or your stupid X applications.

    And most people aren't running gnu-linux or bsd but this is for people that do. There is a much larger share of the linux bsd crowd that does do these things and needs that functionality. Wayland is a graphics stack that leaves out functionality that its core audience uses. It does not matter what the rest of the world does they won't use it anyway.

    Its pretty well established that you don't need people in the mix to explore Mars. Certainly not to choose a good landing spot for habitats. And if I'm going to risk life and limb to step foot on Mars (or to get into LEO for that matter) there had better be a place to sleep, a place to poo, and plenty of food to eat when I get there. Right now we know enough about Mars to pick a good landing spot. We've done it several times for rovers etc. To get humans on there is not only a fantastic challenge, but at this point its not necessary. It will always be cheaper to build a civilization of robots to inhabit- at least they can be solar or nuclear powered. Humans are incredibly difficult to keep alive.
