That "trope" as you put it is brought out because it's true. Jamaica has been a violent place for a long time. Relatively recently guns were banned utterly except for the usual exceptions of military and police. Jamaica is still a very violent place. Do you really think that an attempt to ban guns utterly in the US would do better?
That's only a third of the solution. The next third is to make sure all adults on campus are trained in the use of protecting children with concealed weapons. The final third is to make sure all adults actually do carry their weapons and practice at least twice a year.
I find it odd how when things like this happen, people who want to associate weapons with sexuality and talk about hero complexes crawl out of the woodwork.
The 15C WAS brought back, though with some rather unfortunate problems. 1) There are at least ten well-documented bugs in the firmware. Google for "HP 15C limited edition bugs". 2) No word of firmware updates has come out of HP. 3) The calculator was priced significantly higher than the 12C and is even higher now. As far as I can tell, production of it has stopped. I got mine for $99 last year. Now it goes for about $150.
That being said, there's an enterprising Swiss man who makes credit-card sized clones of the five Voyager series calculators for very reasonable prices. See http://www.rpn-calc.ch/.
Really what HP needs to do is bring back the 42s and 32sii and ditch the 35s (or at least redo it from the beginning and not screw up this time, thus making the 35sii). For the successor of the 50g, I want to see the ENTER key put back where it belongs and ditch the emulation. Sheesh, there are people out there doing the engineering for this stuff for free.
Those who enjoy and cherish HP calculators may be interested in the DIY4X. It's a homebrewed effort to recreate the HP 41 and 42 calculators with enhancements. Is HP watching? A few individual HP employees are, but it's not clear if HP is officially aware.
Have you tried talking to Youtube again? He said that he has permission to use your video. Well, say something like "The video is mine. I created it. He does not have my permission.". That shouldn't require a lawyer.
A professor of mine worked as an undergrad at a cannery. The boss had an old can of something on his desk as a momento from the previous boss. It was at least fifty years old. One day the can exploded, spraying the office and everyone inside with putrid half-century-old food.
As far as I'm concerned, Wayland is a non-starter as long as it continues to be ambiguous about whether or not it will support network transparency. I really don't want there to be a situation where someone writes a graphical server control application that needs to run on the server but won't display on some other computer. With X11 this is effortless. With Wayland, it's a mushy wishwash of "no, it's not supported, you don't need it, so shut up" mixed with "maybe it'll support it, but that's not our focus".
The rocket itself didn't seem like it caused much hazard, but that explosion did set off a small grass fire. Watch it creep along. Next time they do this, I hope they have the good sense to hose down the grass around the test pad beforehand.

What's wrong with that? Does owning a fire extinguisher make you a firebug?
Oh look! It's one of those idiots who like to compare firearms with penises!

That table doesn't say anything about which countries have less violence.
"Arms" includes ammunition.

There's a reason for this. Gun grabbers have a habit of wallowing in the misery and tapdancing in blood.

Let me put it a different way: Have you ever worked in a shop that did anything with Unix within the past five years?
...except for the fact that you can't take GPLed code and turn it proprietary as you suggest. That's one of the central points of the GPL.
Can you guess how I know you've never worked in a non-Windows shop?
At first I thought it was the Singer Sewing Machine Company who bought a seat.

It looks like details of this are already being added to Wikipedia.

Why has nobody mentioned the penultimate in skeumorphic design, Microsoft BOB?
Maybe Android users don't like video ads.

Does anyone know why the fire crew approached from downwind?

In older times, the term was "fop" or "dandy".
Coreboot, as it is now, certainly does ask too much from the average user. Its ultimate goal is to load a free UEFI implemenation.
