Allowing people to defend themselves with guns leads to gun-related deaths. Shooting people dead that are invading your house trying to harm you is a bad thing?
It is if it was actually just a relative showing up at an unexpected hour, possibly trying to sneak in so as not to disturb you, or using a window because they lost their key. Happens more than you might think.
You'd be much more concerned about your house's security if you carried it with you in your pocket, and might have it thoroughly searched if you got pulled over or crossed a border. Or if the government and every tech-savvy criminal or organization anywhere in the world could search your house by clicking a button, whenever they wanted to and without your knowledge or consent. Then you wouldn't think it was a clever idea to require them all to be accessible to anyone who knows a (temporarily) secret code.
...and his equipment was confiscated and destroyed.
Highly unlikely.
More likely, confiscated and given away during the monthly employee empound raffle.
Wrong, it is highly likely that it was destroyed or at least kept locked up. It's an illegal device, one that (probably) only has illegal use, and can't be used discreetly. They'd be likelier to share some weed from a drug bust.
The first rule of getting infected by ransomware is you do not fund the criminals. The second rule of getting infected by ransomware is YOU DO NOT FUND THE CRIMINALS.
The first rule of ransomware is restore from backups. The second rule of ransomware is don't worry, that's why we have backups.
Most existing glaciological research — and hence discourse and discussions about cryospheric change — stems from information produced by men, about men, with manly characteristics, and within masculinist discourses.
No, I didn't punch that up to make it funny, the original really says "men, with manly characteristics".
If it helps any, the author of this study (Mark Carey) is also a man. Though probably not a manly man with manly characteristics producing masculinist discourses.
Anyone in Academia that breaks Orwell's Five Rules should be tossed from a very high altitude airplane
1) Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. 2) Never use a long word where a short one will do. 3) If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. 4) Never use the passive where you can use the active. 5) Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. 6) Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
#1 or #6 Hopefully this is a metaphor but it might be something outright barbarous #2 "that" is longer than "who" #3 In "very high altitude airplane", at the very (heh) least "very" is redundant, in fact you could just go with "airplane" #4 "should be tossed" is passive voice #5 1950s: academia/ noun/ from Latin (see academy). #6 wait, weren't they Orwell's Five Rules?

Evacuation is the leading cause of bomb threats.
Studies show that tech websites that get taken over by SJWs lose readers and have greatly diminished traffic.
Got a link to that study? It would be a totally awesome study, that would a lot of balls to publish. Oops, forget that last part.
About 60% of the gun deaths in the US are suicides:

That just means that legalizing suicide will dramatically reduce gun deaths. Are you listening, NRA?

Won't someone please stop thinking about the children?
Outsource to IBM? They'll regret that decision very soon. Really. Very, very soon.
Did you hear that from an Oracle?
Because Muslims just want to live in the house of peace.
You can predict how much the beancounters will decide the damage adds up to, months or years after the disaster.
When do the drone strikes commence? And will anyone bother to verify that they are actual bad guys and not random people on a fake list?
MacGyver is a crazy lunatic. I blame learning too much science before watching his show.

You think I'd trust news from the microsoft.com website?
If the NSA can do it, it would probably not be allowed as evidence in court. If the FBI did it, maybe it would.
Which of the dead shooters are we taking to court?
There's still the guy who sold them the guns.
What are the odds that the NSA doesn't have some high-ranking Apple employees on their payroll? Just how secure is Apple's signing key?

General Hayden stated, "You can argue this on constitutional grounds."
I wasn't aware that ever worked.
That's a good question. I'll write a grant proposal to the NSF for my study of gender and thermostat.
I've always hoped someone would take the values of Shrinky-Dink seriously.
Scientists have been making discoveries with shrinky-dink for years now.

Sorry you landed on "go directly to jail".
What the NSA does is not illegal (at US law) since they have explicit statutory permission to do it.
It's not treated as illegal since they won't be prosecuted for it.
A hands-free door latch ... also under study,
This sounds wonderful for a bathroom door especially considering how reliable hands-free sensors always are.
