I don't see how repealing the 2nd amendment would make it legal for the federal government to regulate guns. Where in the constitution, again, is the federal government given that power? Oh? It's not there? Huh. How interesting.
Between beef and deer, there is a large difference in flavor, unless it is prepared in such a way that there is no remnant of the flavor of the meat (tacos, some chili, anything with large amounts of seasoning). If you cut a beef stead and a deer steak and grilled them up without seasoning, pretty much everyone would be able to tell the difference.
Note that if you had your deer processed into hamburger by a butcher, there is a good chance that beef suet was added to the hamburger to make it taste more like beef. They do this often with other things like elk and bison as well.
Between beef and elk, there is much less difference. Between beef and bison, there is a difference.
As a person who implements these sorts of systems (not usually in an EMR/practice setting, mostly in hospital and HIE settings), I can say there's some categories of data that is just not dealt with (or shared, moved, indexed, or otherwise handled). Most things to do with psychiatric care fall under this restriction, as does some obvious procedures and results (think HIV tests).
More than 2" smaller screen (and less than half the pixels), We'll call the CPU equivalent, even though the Apple is an i5 and the ASUS is an i7. Half the RAM. Half the HDD space. Not even close on the GPU (but let's be honest, neither is a gaming powerhouse). Remember that that HD 4000 will be sharing the meager RAM in the Apple machine.
Also, Newegg was recently selling RAM for $4.38/GB, there's no excuse for shipping 4GB in a new machine.
The machines he compared were as price comparable as could be achieved using that list ($1100 for the Apple, $911 for the ASUS), but the hardware specs aren't comparable at all. Not at all. Not close. Not even a little bit.
I guess if you're the kind of person that jerks power cords out sideways, or lets your kids dance on your computers, then the extra money for the much weaker specs might be worth it.
I don't personally feel that in the USA we need such strict prohibitions if guns in general took just a little more effort to procure, such as requiring membership in a shooting club or possessing a hunting license, passing a background check and a drug screen - a screen which would detect anti-psychotics so nut-jobs can't get guns,
But then, nut jobs who take their meds (and thus would be detected on the drug screen) aren't really the problem, are they?
as well as a process for making sure that mentally unstable individuals are barred from owning rapid-fire quick-reloading weapons as soon as they are identified by school officials or medical doctors.
School officials and medical doctors are, I'm sure, experts at identifying dangerously unstable individuals, and would never misidentify someone who they had a grudge against, and couldn't be influenced to identify (or not identify) by money or other consideration. Right?
Recent mass shootings have shown that the ability to quickly fire multiple rounds and reload in just a second or two can result in very high body counts.
They've shown that crowds where nobody can or will defend themselves are prone to become mass victims. In the Aurora shooting, for example, had the crowd rushed the gunman, the body count would have, most likely, been much lower. See also the recent shooting in San Antonio (Dec 17).

The C# runtime doesn't interpret bytecode. It's all JITted before execution. Always.
If he was that smart and determined, then I doubt a law would have stopped him any better than a safe did.
Not even just borderline. See this:

Shooting in the generally correct direction isn't THAT hard.
Yeah, I mean, noone ever buys anything that's illegal, right?
My state falls right in between England & Wales (which is lower) and Scotland (which is higher). What's your point?

What if I own guns but don't keep any ammunition in the house?

There are so many things wrong with what you wrote that it would take a book to enumerate them, but it's not worth it for an AC.
I believe they have that in the UK. Offend someone over twitter, get thrown in prison. Indeed, it sounds like hell.
Algorithm, is that a pattern? It's not in the GoF book, it must not be any good.
If I had mod points, they'd be yours. Well said.
Yes, we'll have it be OWNED by thieving government scumbags, and merely OPERATED by thieving corporate scumbags. Sounds like a brilliant plan!
Or, you never break even, go bankrupt, and start taking cities out as you collapse:

That's how we did it here in Utah. Your mileage may vary.
What's important about them, exactly?
You forgot Delphi and Prodigy. Ah, good times.
Biggest example:
In the early says of the blogosphere lots of people did not have the tech-savvy necessary to start their own blogs.
Even more biggest example:
In the early days of the blogosphere we hadn't yet made up asinine words like "blog" and "blogosphere".

Cortex-M4 has single-precision floating point. Just like it's not suitable for a real OS, it's also not suitable for real floating point work ;)
'Cause my phone needs SATA-II and gig-E, right?
