Congress shall make no law [...] abridging the freedom of speech
Now, this is clearly very difficult for our Congresscritters and judges to comprehend, so I'm going to break it down to make it easier for them to understand.
Er, what Waco are you talking about? I'm talking about the military (not paramilitary, military) raid by ATF goons, FBI, National Guard and god damn fucking Delta Force to seize weapons from a group of nutty people that they managed to demonize by manipulating a sheep-like press corps that tripped over itself to report as pedophiles, lunatics, terrorists even. Memories seem pretty short round here.
But it's OK, when they come for your gun, I'm sure they'll take the time to smear you as some baby buggering cannibal psychopath, so nobody will have to get upset over your charred, bullet ridden corpse.
The ammunition in a sealed box. You can unseal it. You're not supposed to, but what are you going to do, let Joe Burglar to murder you because it's illegal to break open the ammo tin? Oh, and why wouldn't you buy ammo from one of the 3,000 shooting ranges?
>And only the people who served in the Bundesheer
Every male Swiss citizen. Argue the figures either way, but the issue is that there's a good chance that a Swiss household has an assault rifle in it.
Whether that deters crime, or whether it's the compulsory military service, or whether the Swiss are just more civilised that USians, is open to deabte.
Interoperability clause. The problem is that "lawfully obtained the right to use a
copy of [MSN Messenger]" part. The EULA no doubt prohibits reverse engineering, so it's up for argument.
You might consider modding the grandparent as off topic before considering my response to it. Also, it does mean something. When's the last time you were mugged with "Stick 'em up, or I'll jaywalk." ?
Ah well, if you say it's been debunked, it must have been. Replace "criminal" with "terrorist" and you see how ridiculous your counter argument becomes. You'll also be well aware that areas in the USA with high registered gun ownership have lower crime rates, nearly as low as Switzerland with its mandatory gun ownership.
How can they be "Illegal"? Palestine isn't recognised as a state, so it can't sign up to the Berne Convention, and so all of those "Illegal" movies are just bunches of 1's and 0's as far as any international law is concerned.
If it were recognised as a state, it could sign up, and the MP/RIAA could start taxing it.
It's not admitting it, it's shouting it from the rooftops. Why the hell should they care? As the MP/RIAA apologists keep pointing out, it's not about what's right, it's about what's legal. As Palestine isn't recognised as a state, it can't sign up to the Berne Convention, and so the MP/RIAA can go screw themselves.
The cause might be to get the MP/RIAA to strongarm the Whitehouse into accelerating the creation of a Palestinian state, so that they can start taxing it. It'd be a roundabout route, but, hey, money means a lot more in world politics than principles.
70% successful at what? Finding a known face, known to be in the crowd (if not, how do they measure that 70%?)? What's the other 30%? Not finding anything, or finding false positives?
70% isn't good enough, unless it comes with 99.999% success at avoiding false positives. A bad lead is worse than no lead, both for Plod and for the misidentified person.
Oh, I know the story is bullshit, but I'm a Slashbot, I'm not going to let boring old facts get in the way of decrying anything not pulled out of the puckered asshole of RMS or Lunis.

A fairy dies, and another pointy haired idiot buys some SCOX shares at an inflated price, using the psuedo-logic that if there's nothing there to refute, why do we keep refuting it?
Enough already. They're little yapping dogs. Don't give them the attention they crave. There's no story here until and if they detail every last line of code and document why they think it's theirs.
And Welchia infects hosts that Blaster can't beeeecaaaaause...?
If you're pulling these figures out of your fat hairy arse, as I strongly suspect, then welcome to the wacky world of Slashdot journalism. You should apply for a job here.

Congress. Shall. Make. No. Law. Abridging. The. Freedom. Of. Speech.
I'm not sure where the confusion is coming from.

Hey Walter, what's the weather like on your planet?
>Yes, but without ammo

Don't keep asking what xMule is, ask Google.
Sure, we should make guns illegal to ensure that only criminals have them.

Fellow Slashdotters, prepare to be dazzled! [walks to the front of the room] Well, as timothy already mentioned, the name of the book that I read was Masters of Doom. It's about these... [describing the book jacket] games developers. Games developes... with patches over their code... and... shiny red ferraris... and long goofy hair on their shoulders... [pause] Did I mention this book was written by a guy named David Kushner? And published by the good people at Random House. So, in conclusion, on the timothy scale of one to ten, ten being the highest, one being the lowest, and five being average, I give this book... a nine. Any questions? [hands go up] Nope? Then I'll just sit down.
On access violations. I'd overflow her buffer any day.
Another thing wrong with commies is that they've got no sense of perspective or humour.

Shush. Shush now.
So SCO said. Did Microsoft confirm that figure, or did they just decline to refute it?
Worldcomm and Enron were also claiming to be pretty profitable, as I recall.

That's today. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.
