  1. Totally legal on Online Payment Firm Stripe Boots 3D Gun Designer Cody Wilson's Companies · · Score: 2

    It is totally legal to build for yourself any gun that you are allowed to own.
    If I use a CNC mill, a file and hand drill, a 3D printer or this guy's tool on an unfinished lower it doesn't matter.
    It is also totally illegal to build anything you are prohibited from owning.
    Guns are and always have been, easy to build
    The fearmongering over this subject is amazing.

  2. Re:Speculation... on NADA Is Terrified of Tesla · · Score: 1

    You do realize that lots of cars are now made in Mexico, including GM trucks.

  3. Traditional Antique Style Firearms on Gun Rights Groups Say They Don't Oppose Smart Guns, Just Mandates · · Score: 1

    In organized events, I shoot historically accurate reproduction revolvers loaded with real black powder. After use they are cleaned with soap and water and then aggressively lubricated to fight corrosion. Please explain how this technology being forced on me is going to help or even be anything but a nightmare.

  4. Re:We don''t do tax returns in the UK,you insensit on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Pay Your Taxes? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What software do you use that adds up all your sales tax, property tax, fuel tax, and all the other taxes plus the fees that are passed on to you that are hidden in the costs of the goods and services you consume?

  5. Make my vacation last longer on Time Dilation Drug Could Let Heinous Criminals Serve 1,000 Year Sentences · · Score: 1

    Can't we use this kind of thing for good? Make my vacation last longer?

  6. Nonsense. on Facebook Wants To Block Illegal Gun Sales · · Score: 1

    Since Facebook does not verify addresses and has no way of knowing where the sale is actually being transacted, this is just total nonsense.

  7. I call BS. on House Committee Approves Bill Banning In-Flight Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    If you recall a while back the NSA was upset because calls made from planes were harder to listen in on. How is someone talking on the phone any worse than the two people next to you having a conversation or talking on the airline provided phone? Once again the media just plays along with a obvious lie.

  8. Want to ask him. on Former Head of NSA Calls For Obama To Reject NSA Commission Recommendations · · Score: 1

    I would love to ask him if he would be willing to wear a streaming webcam 24/7 since privacy isn't important.

  9. Re:Double secret probation on NZ Traveler's Electronics Taken At Airport; Interest in Snowden to Blame? · · Score: 1

    Yes, you have lots of porn on your computer.
    Do a test with file recovery software and recover deleted .jpg files and you will be amazed at the amount of stuff you do have on your computer.

  10. Re:Highway Robbery on NZ Traveler's Electronics Taken At Airport; Interest in Snowden to Blame? · · Score: 1

    Nicely said

  11. And a great too for the Nazis. on App Detects Neo-Nazis Using Their Music · · Score: 1

    It also sounds like a great tool for the Nazis to use if they ever got back into power.
    Find all those Jews and Partisans.
    Evil in the name of good is still evil.

  12. Re:Well, on UK Gov't Plans To Censor "Extremist" Websites Via Orders To ISPs · · Score: 1

    It would be very easy when there is any sort of mismatch to have the voter sign a correction card affirming that they are the person and correcting the voter info. No one is prevented from voting.

  13. Invoice Hell on FOIA: NSA Contracts Stored In Paper Files, Unsearchable, Unindexed · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it might be fun to bury them in an storm of small invoices so they spend all their time invalidating them.

  14. Re:NSA doing its job on NSA Hacked Email Account of Mexican President · · Score: 1

    " I don't care. NSA can spy outside our borders all it wants - go for it." And their partners can spy on everyone outside their borders. Also know as EVERYONE in the US. So with one person helping in another country they can spy on the whole world.

  15. Re:A sort of betrayal on Administration Seeks To Make Unauthorized Streaming A Felony · · Score: 1

    Woo, Isn't this guy supposed to me a millionaire?

  16. If it's just business data. on Fifth Circuit Upholds Warrantless Cellphone Location Tracking · · Score: 2

    Then is should be perfectly legal to hack your phone to give false location data.

  17. Re:These failure rates are expected on Casting a Harsh Light On Chinese Solar Panels · · Score: 1

    Because without those expectations the ROI doesn't work.

  18. Destroyed Flickr on Ask Slashdot: Can Yahoo Actually Stage a Comeback? · · Score: 1

    The new Flickr update turns it into Facebook. It is now totally worthless as a photo site. There are hundreds of pages of scathing posts in the comments on the new layout.

  19. I call BS on Hijacking Airplanes With an Android Phone · · Score: 2

    I am going to call BS on this one.
    These are indication systems.
    Think of smashing your speedometer and turning the needle with pliers and expecting the car to go faster.

  20. Nothing to see here. on The ATF Not Concerned About 3D Printed Guns... Yet · · Score: 1

    We keep coming back to these stupid stories.
    If you could print a perfect steel copy of the gun it would be totally legal as long as you are not offering it for sale.
    Still nothing to see here.

  21. Re:NOOOOOOO on Internet Sales Tax Vote This Week In US Senate · · Score: 1

    Is it not even more burdensome for a small retailer to keep track of and comply with the tax regulations of fifty states and untold other entities?

  22. Nothing to see here. on Defcad.com Wants To Be the Google of 3D-Printable Guns · · Score: 1

    All parts of any legal gun are legal for anyone to make for their own use. This is only news because of the anti gun agenda of the media.

  23. It's a scam. on How Sequestration Will Affect Federal Research Agencies · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It is a scam.
    They make sure the thing people care about get cut first.
    The things that really should be cut never get touched.
    We all get cowed into giving them more and more money.
    See how much of an automatic cut your senators pay gets.
    No, wait they still get an automatic raise
    Makes me crazy.

  24. Re:NOT ROCKET SCIENCE on Printable AR-15 Mag Gets More Reliable; YouTube Pulls Video of Demo · · Score: 1

    BUT!
    Magazines are not illegal in most places.
    They are not serialized or controlled.
    You can make them all day long all you want.
    Any good auto body man or aircraft mechanic can bend up real sheet metal magazines all day long.
    So what is the fuss about making something that is totally legal to make?

  25. Also in the news.... on Lego Accused of Racism With Star Wars Set · · Score: 5, Funny

    Johnny Cash is also very offended that Darth Vader wears black and is dead.
