  1. Re:Now all we need... on Smart Guns are Coming · · Score: 1
    And do you know how many have their shitty cheap gun misfire and jam, then having enraged the intruder get the shit beat out of them? Or actually shoot *someone else* they mistook for an intruder? Like their kids getting home late or their husband sneaking back into the house at 2am?


    You really believed her husband was shot by mistake?
  2. Taking cues from Microsoft on China Developing own Standards · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't know about that isolation warning. China is pretty big and has access to cheap labor. Microsoft isolated itself right into a market monopoly by ignoring standards.

  3. SlashDot is faster than the NYTimes. on The Real Reason why Spirit Only Sees Red · · Score: 1

    In case you missed it, there are actually companies selling plots on the Moon and Mars. They do at least come with "maps" of the plots, which I believe some of the companies produce from pictures from one of NASA's probes.

  5. Re:Markers? on Orbdev Files US Federal Suit Over Asteroid Claim · · Score: 2, Funny

    By that same virtue, a single flag could mark all four corners of the boundries. :)

    I think it was because that was what they wanted, so being the person he was, VMS gave it to them. He also cut his "family" off from him at the same time, forcing them to go off and fend for themselves and perhaps spread his message more quickly. Healing himself may have frightened the mob and caused them to go after VMS's "family" as well as VMS. This way they were temporarily mollified.
