I'm pro-2nd Amendment, and yes I think it's weird for the Ed Dept to buy shotguns. Weirder for them to be sent to the Inspector General's office.
As for arsenal, well, that's too loaded (no pun intended) until we know how many they really have.
Maybe the guns are for "site security" at federal buildings, kept under the desk near the metal detectors.
I agree with you about the hypocrisy: if some (God knows there are enough idiots in those schools who turn into jelly at the mere thought of a gun...) teachers had been armed, many school shootings wouldn't have happened or would have been much less severe.
"OH! Guns are the enemy! We must pass Federal laws blah blah blah
How can anyone with more than 1/3 of a pea brain (a) write this, and (b) mod this Insightful when (1) the SCOTUS struck down the DC gun law and is poised to do the same in Chicago, and (2) the Obama administration shows no sign of trying to reenact the "assault" weapons ban?
I mean, we didn't sit there after the Wright brothers flew and decide that pursuing airplanes was a worthless endeavor, that we should just wait until we could build the 787, did we? Well, that's what we're doing with space. We've taken our first baby step, then given up on trying to walk because we can't yet run a marathon.
That's a very bad analogy, since it's 10 metric butt-loads easier and simpler to fly than it is to get into orbit: planes don't need to worry about cosmic radiation, gravity, little holes in the fuselage, etc, etc.
that we should just wait until we could build the 787
There have been only a handful of new commercial aviation designs in the last 30 years. The Boeing 737 & 747 were designed in the 1960s, the 757 & 767 in the 1960s. Since then, nothing but incremental improvements. Same on the military side.
Hell, even the Concorde design is 45 years old!
Aeronautical science and engineering are bordering practical and economic limits enforced on us by physics. For example: sure "we" could build another supersonic commercial aircraft, but there's no real purpose to expending all that energy to push through the atmosphere at 1400 mph, when 550 mph is oodles cheaper, and it's still 550 miles per hour!!! My (RIP) grandparents remembered Lindbergh and crossing the country in coal-powered trains.
And this isn't even mentioning that supersonic travel over land is prohibited because it's just not nice to shatter a jillion window panes 4 or 5 times a day!
I'm not entirely clear on how not having access to one of the computers in a piece of my property, or even knowing exactly what it does, protects my privacy...
You ninny. If it's easy for anyone to get at the black box info, it's easy for the government to track your movements.
Wouldn't it be grand if the guys who hacked Ubisoft's latest game took on this challenge instead?
If Alberto Gonzales' Justice Dept were trying to prosecute accused terrorists, most of/. (and, for that matter, the EFF and Huffington Post) would be applauding Toyota for respecting people's privacy.
A pioneer movement is an organization for children operated by a communist party. Typically children enter into the organization in elementary school and continue until adolescence. The adolescents then typically joined Komsomol or a similar organization. Prior to the 1990s there was a wide cooperation between pioneer and similar movements of about 30 countries, coordinated by the international organization
IQ is relative, with 100 the normalized value of "average" intelligence. So, though the populace might be getting stupider (/The Bachelor/ has, for example, been on for 8 years!!), the average IQ will still be 100, and the denormalized intelligence curves would show a shift to the left.
Except that marriage means, and has always meant, "legal union of a man and a woman for (theoretically) life, as husband and wife". (Would you look at this and say, "See the lorry?". No, because it's not a lorry, it's a bicycle, and no amount of calling it a lorry will make it so.)
Correct. Only that which directly harms another should be illegal.
However, just because something is illegal doesn't mean that you should do it. Alas, many modern Westerners have forgotten that.
Unless you think the government should legislate "good manners"?
Hah!
I'm thinking, though, that flipping off the cops is an indication of gross stupidity and an indication that he should not be allowed to reproduce. (Yes: I know fat, lazy idiots who have reproduced. Their offspring are also mentally challenged and raised by the maternal grandparents because the parents are too fat, lazy and stupid to do anything themselves.)
Exactly. Just like any machine, society needs lubricant in the form of good manners.
Letting it all hang out and "expressing yourself" (to dredge up a couple of hippy/Me Generation terms) in any way you want any time you want (like flipping off the cops) are sand in the gears.
Perhaps they should have just sat quietly and waiting patiently for white men to decide that it should be changed.
Excellent rhetoric, but invalid logic. Negros (to use another term of the era), had no political power whatsoever, and so needed a suit like Brown to kick-start things. The forced-bussing lawsuit, though, was just a B-A-D idea.
By 1973, though, women were gaining more rights through the legislative process, as were gays before Goodridge in 2004.
When you see something you perceive as unjust, you shouldn't just sit back and wait for it to correct itself. You take action to get it corrected.
This is a republican democracy. You change policy through the legislative process. It's long and messy and imperfect and no one gets everything they want when they want it, if ever, but it's an agreed-upon consensus.
The alternative is the extremely divided country that we live in now.
If those jackass Women's Libbers had just sat on their hands, the political process would have worked though, a consensus would have been reached, and the Republicans wouldn't have had such an effective wedge issue for 20 years.
Same with Gay Marriage. By forcing the issue via the courts, idiot activists created a rallying cry against "activist judges" and The Gay Agenda, 30 states wouldn't have passed anti-gay-marriage constitutional amendments.

No one has mentioned that adding a GPU increases the size of the CPU, thus reducing wafer yield, boosting per-chip cost.
Better to stay with relatively discrete functionality, so that a few bad transistors doesn't make useless too big of a fraction of the wafer.
You're absolutely right that the more common use of something like this is going to be cracking.
Since you need a USD1000 video card to go along with the s/w, it won't be your run of the mill Joe High School Geek, it'll be Serious Black Hats.

There are too many people who are too stupid to be allowed to have the right to do more than poop when necessary.
One could say the same about IT workers.

we could call it an ear horn.
Since those have been around for at least 150 years, I can't tell if you are being sarcastic or not.

and the anti-gay-marriage status quo would have continued in those 30 states
Somehow women won the vote without a court case, and -- last I checked -- the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is, well, it's an Act not a SCOTUS decision.
Those amendments are the frightened flailings
My point exactly. They wouldn't have become frightened if the legislative process had been followed.
Did you RTFA? It was longish, but very enlightening.

Hypocritical bastards.
The problem with doing something that hasn't been done before is that you have to figure out how to do it.
Except in this case, people (in the form of engineers at companies) have been doing it for 55 years.

That's the way a curve works.

same-sex marriage doesn't harm any one
Except that marriage means, and has always meant, "legal union of a man and a woman for (theoretically) life, as husband and wife". (Would you look at this and say, "See the lorry?". No, because it's not a lorry, it's a bicycle, and no amount of calling it a lorry will make it so.)
Maybe so, but it still should be legal.
Correct. Only that which directly harms another should be illegal.
However, just because something is illegal doesn't mean that you should do it. Alas, many modern Westerners have forgotten that.
