  1. Re:Not Everywhere on Best Buy Invaded By Blue Shirt Improv Artists · · Score: 0

    I think the Stop Snitching shirts look stupid but I still support the idea. For non crimes such as illegal buying and selling of things(tobbaco, guns, drugs ext) snitches are the lowest of the low and should be warned that their behaivor will not be acceptable by the community. For violent crimes snitching is OK however.

    Interesting idea about gang shares. If you think about it gangs often need start up funds and could go around to those that operate in the grey areas of the law and let some of them buy an interest in the gang. Then they could get part of the gains from robbery and home invasion or sell their share to someone else.

    The only problem is that some gangs might not value the stock once they sold them. There are alreadly lots of underground banking going on(loans, money wiring ext) so stocks isn't so much of a leap...

    Interesting! So an investor of the future just has to invest some money in say the S&P500 and the rest in a space craft and then zoom around the sun for a few years at near light speed and then return home to a bright new world where he has many billions of dollars?

    If the logic is indeed flawed and circular then perhaps this Doctor is just hoping to get people interested in his work by talking about the 'latest and greatest' computer/human type stuff that gets some news(Wired) all interested. Then again he may be a legit researcher

    I wish I had mod points. I'm glad to see someone here that seems to understand programming as a true skill and not just some career path. If you are a really good programmer then you can get your own job by starting a company or selling a product - you don't need to learn nasty languages.

    Nope sorry! Most states say ANYONE breaking into your house is fair game to shoot - now outside your house you would be correct

    Dipshit!

    You don't go looking for the bad guy; you call 911 and then secure your family in a room and point your gun at the door. Almost no way to get shot and if the bad guy comes you can shoot him.

    There is a way to do these things and then there are just idiots thinking they will run though the house to find the bad guy. Defence is what you should do.

    I have a SL5500 but I would hardly say its dead. In fact its dying may make the sub culture around it get even better as it becomes rare. The thing is the damn thing is not that usefull for me. The hardware is great but the software has been lacking. Good news is that it seems in the time I have been ignoring it new ROMS have sprung up, GPE has evolved and openzaurus has got a new version out of the skunkworks!

    This move by Sharp may make the Z's a hacker icon of sorts.

    You don't understand what the Second Amendment is about:

    Its a way to halt the spread of tyrany from the government. Taking away a populations arms always leads to mass killing and brutal rule. For england it may happen 100 years from now; but it will happen. This is why we Americans know the importance of bearing arms. Even if crime rate was to increase as more citizens carry guns(tip: it goes down) it would be a small price to pay for Liberty.

    ESR knows the importance of Liberty; why don't you?

    "Americans have the right and advantage of being armed - unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."

    -- James Madison, The Federalist Papers

    I could show you many more quotes from the founding fathers but just from this one the meaning of the second ammendment is clear!

    All gun control laws are Unconstitional!
