You having the same weapons won't give you the same protection. These people go through enormous amount of *routine* training.
In fact, if you put yourself against a criminal, chances are:
1. He is more likely to have more powerful, illegally obtained gun. No matter where you draw the line what is legal.
2. He is more likely to have more experience with the gun, because this is something he may be doing for a while.
3. He is more likely to be ready to shoot you, while you are hesitating. If he is already breaking the law, he just won't care. While you, may very well be hesitating.
You can definitely fix most of those by training yourself (not sure how are you going to learn to shoot at people though), but again, put against criminals, this is an uphill battle, most people won't (and shouldn't for that matter) fight.
FYI, this nation, the United States of America, wasn't founded with fancy words and courtrooms, it was created with the blood of men and women who would have rather died standing as free people, than live kneeling as slaves.
It depends on how they estimate the range. If they extrapolate the current real energy usage, may be it was car panicking in oh-my-god-Im-losing-charge-without-even-moving kind of way.
They are really big in Eastern Europe (Russia, Ukraine, Belarussia), where I can assure you the bandwidth is actually a way less of a problem than in US. It is just a cultural thing.
In this particular case it is not just that the name string-matches. The website is about him.
If somebody else named Ron Paul regiestered the domain and started posting his vacation pictures or cats or whatever, Ron Paul The Congressman definitely wouldn't have a leg to stand on.
Disclaimer: I don't support Ron Paul's move in this case (or care at all, for that matter), just pointing out that legally this *may* be a different case.
As a college dropout* who works as a Web Developer: couldn't agree more. I had to catch up on *a lot* of stuff I could've learned in formal setting of the university. Don't underestimate the fundamentals!
Yes, I agree that there are always risks. But compromised bank account means losing all your money, potentially even more and then some future money as well.

If anything, Google made RIAA's job of finding *real* offenders *easier*.
Not that I support them in this endeavor.
Rationalize or not, I'm pretty sure you can't do shit about it either, no matter how "powerful" you may feel.
Because it's utter bullshit.

... and slave owners.
I thought we already made a choice that rich people are more worthy of protection, like, a couple of centuries ago, if not earlier.
Don't let the logic get in the way of someone's personal agenda.
Some people are actually proud of their junk, not embarrassed.
Quite honestly the idea that one day these things will become ubiquitous horrifies me.
I hope they go down the path of Bluetooth headsets (haven't seen many of those recently).
RR was helluva fun! The levels were unnecessarily complex though. I mean in "I have no idea where to go now" way.
Well, they also have troubles telling the difference between a human being and corporation, so not at all surprising.

I may be reading/understanding this wrong (not a car expert), but I think Toyota has a brake system like this.
It's funny though that he agreed to test drive it again. I bet it won't happen.
Which country's law?

Well, to be fair, this is an excellent way to lower the market value of that website :)

He didn't say he'll retire his twitter account, so no geek should care.

Evolution does not have any morals or goals, let alone "moral lessons". It just is.
Just curious: how did you do that?
You should've made it a Slashdot poll for accurate results.

That is pretty important, if you ask me.
You mean "Zombie Ryushu" is not your real name??
