    Times are tough, brother. I'm sure you'll find work.

    STFU, shill. Florida passed a law that recognized the right to defend one's self without first having to evade assault.

    Fuck, *I* have to bring this up? Kerry tried to call off the police. It didn't do any good, but he did try.

    Well, now, that's bullshit.
    Twist his arm, it breaks, then in his struggles the broken bone severs an artery, causing massive bleeding, leading to blood loss, shock, death.

    Pretty farfetched, yeah, but it can happen.

    Both approaches have a non-zero chance of causing death.
    One approach has a much higher chance of causing serious damage, with the additional possibility of endangering others.

    Peaceable assembly is not the right to be free of distractions - it's the right to assemble in a peaceful manner. IOW, the gubmint can't break up your gathering simply because you've gathered.

  11. Re:Review worth a +1 karma! on Programming Erlang · · Score: 1

    Or, maybe, the Erlang FAQ has a better answer:

    10.1. Why is Erlang called "Erlang"?

    Erlang is named after the mathematician Agner Erlang. Among other things, he worked on queueing theory. The original implementors also tend to avoid denying that Erlang sounds a little like "ERicsson LANGuage".

  14. Re:It's the form factor, stupid. on The Study of Physical Hacks at DefCon · · Score: 1

    The fire department here would have no problem opening a steel door in a steel frame. They bring construction equipment with them - masonry saws, hydraulic spreaders, etc. They don't generally have to worry about being shot on the way in, so they can take ten seconds to tear down a door.

    I've become accustomed to Honda's switchgear on motorcycles. A friend of mine got a new Harley the other day. I was riding it, and kept hitting the fucking horn, which is in the same position on a Harley as the "Cancel Turnsignal" button is on a Honda.

    Is Memphis really that bad, or are people from Memphis just way too proud of the crime rate?

  21. Re:Poor judgement on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    Firearms are too unpredictable
    Don't pull the trigger, nothing happens. Pull the trigger, a bullet flies out. Fairly predictable.

    If I hit you in the head, the worse I'll do is give you a concussion.
    If I hit you in the head, the worst I'll do is blind you (brain trauma, ocular damage) or kill you outright (brain trauma, airway destruction, circulatory destruction).

    At that point, there's no point in continuing the violence; I've already defended myself sufficiently.
    The other two guys might still be kicking you to death.

    Etc.

    ...any money the school district loses comes from local taxes. (At least it's like that in Texas.) Sort of. Remember the "Robin Hood" school financing plan from the early 1990s?

    Of course, better efficiency just means more people before we strip the planet of resources.
