Ya, Bill Gates is the last person I'd take advice from when it comes to Apple products.
Until the anarchists also upload CAD drawings for cartoon characters, flowers and fluffy bunnies to decorate the guns so that more 5-year-olds can kill their 2-year-old siblings. Way to improve society, guys.
That will take a talented 5 year old to not only print out the 3D gun, but to source some bullets for it also.
Of course, you do realize that BB guns (legal guns, for kids) can kill? Recent a 13 year old killed his 10 years old brother. Didn't print it out, didn't even get the gun illegally.
Siblings have been killing siblings since the beginning of time (according to the bible), don't need a 3D gun to do it.
Does ANYONE think that someone who wanted a gun for nefarious reasons could only now get one?
Yes, but not for the reasons you do. I think if someone wanted a gun, they can get one off the street easier then finding someone who can 3D print them one, and that gun off the street would be good for a few more uses then at 3D printed one.
In fact, I can go to a gun fair and get a gun no problem. Don't need background checks (unless they changed it), and last time i bought a shotgun, you didn't need background checks for it.
Plus 3D printers are not that common. Granted they are becoming more popular, but currently? No.
Bad ammo causes weapon damage as well. And plenty of people build their own guns: you can build an AK-format rifle cheaper than buying one, although it DOES take some fairly common shop tools. . ..So the "public health" issue is a straw-man argument. If you really wanted to, you could build a simple single-shot pistol or shotgun with hand tools and perhaps $10-20 of common parts available in any store that sells plumbing supplies. ..
...Emulators aren't very satisfying on my Nexus 7 because a flat sheet of glass lacks any tactile feedback as to where the thumbs are relative to the on-screen buttons....
Dude, it's a fucking phone, of course it's not good for emulators. My sink isn't good for taking a bath, but can get me clean if needed.
You want a device that is good for emulators? There a a ton of cheap android devices for that: http://dingoo-scene.blogspot.com/ You can find reviews of various ones there.
As much as you want to have 1 device to rule them all, it's not going to happen anytime soon.
Nyder, we've discussed this before. Your job is to keep the mutos in the DMZ and keep the military fighting the Thals. For your own sake, stop fraternizing with the scientists, or you might get used in the next fighting machine demo.
A meme, by definition. is a public idea. Nobody "owns" it, even if a specific person originated it, because it's just an idea. You can trademark specific characters, but you can't trademark the ideas behind them. A cat playing a keyboard is an idea, and not a copyrightable or trademarkable notion.
You forget something, a meme can be made out of someone else trademark or copyright. A meme is when the public picks up on something and uses it alot. Like the Picard faceslap. That picture is used without permission from whomever owns Star Trek. Doesn't change that it has became a meme.
Also, when the public uses a meme, it's normally not used to make a profit.

I don't think you are at all familiar with modern black culture. Bill Cosby has the same complaints as the GP. Is he a white supremecist? Does making valid criticisms of self destructive cultural norms mean that you HATE and want to ELIMINATE the people who carry that culture? Do liberals then want to lynch gun owners? Does Michael Bloomburg want to drag fat people behind his truck down 5th avenue? Do atheists want separate water fountains for religious people?
Get real.
Bill Cosby? Ya, he's the one I'd go to when i wan to be in touch with the modern black culture and youth. I'm sure he knows what it's like living in the projects from his mansion(s). He has a net worth of $350 million, so yes, I know he's in touch of the black people of today.
And I wasn't denying that black people join gangs, i was saying it's not a black thing, it's a world wide thing. You got gangs of all types, all nationalities.
You tell me to calm down, then say all these irrational things that don't appear to have anything to do with anything. Liberals? Michael Blooming and fat people? wtf?
As for modern black culture, I am not an expert, but then I am not a token white person who has 1 black friend. In fact, most my friends are black, and oddly enough, they tend to work in the music industry. So when I hang with them, a lot of times it's at events that are mostly full of black people. I know, that doesn't make me an expert, but 20+ years of actually having black friends and hanging with black people does tend to give you some insights.
Well, the white 13-year-old with the BB gun was a boy. But there's another difference. I'm not a lawyer (thankfully for everyone) but whether the DA presses charges depends, as far as I understand it, partly on whether the injured party wants revenge (commonly phrased as "justice").
In the white boy's case, the injured party was obviously the boy who got shot, but he was past the point of caring. The remaining injured party were the victim's parents, who were also the parents of the shooter.
In the black girl's case, the "injured" party were the school officials, who presumably are going to be facing a lot of questions from angry and/or panicked parents, school board members, etc. about why an explosion occurred on school property.
Are you sure race is the only difference that matters?
I didn't noticed that it was a boy who fired the gun. But doesn't change a thing, a 13 year old boy knows better then to fire a BB gun a person.
And I don't think you understand what injured means here. Being butt hurt because someone let a minor explosion off at school is way different then someone dying. Big fucking time.
What does justice have to do with revenge? Let's be real here, the black girl didn't do any damage, didn't hurt anyone physically. Yet she's going to be charged as an adult with felony charges by the same DA who thinks that is okay for a white boy to shoot someone and kill them.
You know, you even trying to say the school was injured by this shows just how fucking stupid you are. God I'm glad I'm not you.
I was far from a bad teenager. I loved science though and if it went bang that was all the better. Draino and aluminium foil? Jesus. I made fertiliser bombs. I synthesised Nitrogen triiodide and all manner of other fun compounds.
One bonfire night I once had a visit from the police due to my homemade titanium salutes. They were amused and told me not to blow my hands off. These days I'd go to jail for a million years.
Ya, i used to re-purpose "legal" fireworks (like Screamers) into explosive fireworks (most my life, firecrackers and better were illegal to buy, 'cept for like 2 wondrous years during my teens.) Now if I did that I'd be a terrorist or something.
...does someone accidentally killing someone with a BB gun, and someone dissolving Al in TBC have to do with each other? I haven't read the article, and I won't read the article, but come on. I don't even care about the merits of each case. Slashdot, you're treading on thin ice.
Actually they aren't. If you had bothered to read all the articles, you'd know.
The DA decided not to charge a white girl (age 13) who put a bb gun 6 inches from her brothers head and pulled the trigger. It ended up killing her brother. The same DA decided to charge a black girl (age 16) who did a 'science' experiment on school grounds, which caused a very minor explosion. No one was hurt.
So, being white and purposely putting a BB gun to the head of your brother, then pulling the trigger and ending the life of your brother is not worth charging with a crime. But if you are black and you do a science experiment on school grounds that does a small explosion (and you are outside) it's worth charging the black girl with adult felony charges.
When I was in school, it was basically a full time job for many of us boys to figure out ways to make ever larger and more dramatic explosions happen. We used to fill trash bags full of methane from the lab, seal them with tape, then release them with a lit fuse and watch this huge fireball in the sky (I stopped before the principal took notice, so I didn't get caught:). I mean, kids just do stuff like that.
The difference today is the zero-tolerance rules in many public schools where even a little 6-year-old boy making a shape of a gun with his hand and going "bang!" at another kid is grounds for suspension.
As usual, bureaucracy gets it wrong. That girl should be reinstated and an apology should be issued, otherwise she'll be barred for life from many professions (albeit, as a minor theoretically her record is sealed, but in reality she's screwed).
And racism? That was just an extra little tidbit the OP added to spice things up. Ridiculous.
With all the zero tolerance on guns, and the DA lets a white girl who used a BB gun to kill her brother not get charged with any crimes, then wants to throw the book at a black girl who did a harmless experiment? How is that not racism? White girl puts a gun to a boys head and pulls the trigger. Not in trouble. Black girl does a harmless science experiment on school grounds that does a minor, if any explosion, and she's being charged as and adult for a felony charge.
Note, this is the same DA, and the white girl did her killing a week before.
Keep saying it's not racism, but it stinks so much of it, it's pitiful.
Speaking of double standards, I think it's rather unfair to jump to the conclusion that the DA charged her because she's black. You'd need to show a history of bias to make an insinuation like that less than libelous. The Huffington Post op-ed makes loud protestations that it's not accusing anyone of anything, which might be enough to avert a libel charge. It does fall far short of decency, though. Mr. Lava makes no attempt to consider other possible differences between the cases of the white boy and the black girl, like the age difference between the kids or the fact that the BB gun accident happened at home and the chemistry accident happened at school.
Actually, I think you are wrong.
The girl who killed her brother was 13 and she held a gun 6 inches from her brothers head and fire it. Even if it was just an accident, she purposely put a gun (bb gun, but still a gun) to the head of her brother and pulled the trigger. She knew it was a bb gun, she knew it shot bb's. And yet, she still put it to the head of her brother and pulled the trigger.
You grasp that yet? That girl is not being charged. At 13, she is more then old enough to know better then to put a gun to anyone's head and pull the trigger. I knew better then that when i was 13, shit, I knew better then that when I was 7 (first time i got to play with a bb gun).
So, we have a case, where a girl purposely put a gun to someones head and killed them, and is not being charged. Then we have this case where a girl does an science experiment on school grounds, made a very small explosion, and she is getting charged as an adult. No one was hurt. She wasn't trying to hurt anyone, she was just repeating a science experiment. Did she do wrong? yes, she should of been supervised, or at least, not on school grounds when she did that.
So, what is the difference between these 2 stories? 2 young girls, one is 13, and the other is 16. While there is a difference in age, it's not really that much. And it doesn't matter, as both should of known better then to do what they did. So what is the difference? One girl is white and the other is black. And the white girl did a far worse thing, far worse. Even thinking the bb gun was unloaded is no excuse for pointing it at the head of someone, at close range and pulling the trigger.
So you keep saying there isn't any proof that the charges are racial motivated and those of us who can grasp the obvious will keep discussing them.
For the record, I am white, and if I was the DA, that white girl would of faced charges (as a kid, not as an adult) and the black girl wouldn't of.
If you look at any of the myriad statistics linked from the articles the system is incredibly, systematically racist.
Or African-Americans have a shared culture that glorifies violence and celebrates street crime/being a thug, causing them to commit more violent crimes. Most human beings of any color have difficulty resisting the influence of a poisonous culture. The silly, stupid, moronic War on Some Drugs is where nearly all of the arrests of non-violent people are coming from.
Because the DA was the same. Apparently that was a tragic accident but this is a serious felony.
This should go nowhere because there was no criminal intent. This student did not intend to damage anything or hurt anyone. Far as I know, nothing was damaged and no one was hurt. If we are going to have Prohibition against "unauthorized chemical reactions" just like we do against "altering your consciousness in unauthorized ways" then let's call it what it is.
First off, the African Americans are NOT the only culture that glorifies violence. We all do. We glorify Gangsters/Mafia, not much different then being a "thug" or in a gang. And calling them poisonous, seriously? You saying your a white supremest? Which is a white gang that likes violence. Hate is what is poisonous.
As for the second part, I'd think being the white supremest you seem to be, you'd be familiar with what really happens with the law. She will get all these big ass charges against here, and then given a plea bargin deal. Probably something on the lines of no time in jail, but she's a registered felon. Of course, being a felon is easy to do these days, but it can ruin her chances of getting into good schools, government jobs, or other things she might want to do in her life.
What does a kid with a BB gun have to do with this? Nothing, but it "creates the narrative".
Funny, if you drop the quotes, instead of "creating a narrative", the BB gun story actually creates a narrative. Namely a narrative where an ADA is out for blood in one instance of possibly reckless behavior from a child that didn't cause anybody any harm, but ignored another instance of possibly reckless behavior from a child that resulted in the loss of life. Whether this has anything to do with race is of secondary importance. The primary issue is the apparent lack of consistency in the severity of prosecution from this ADA.
I have an older sister, and she would of gladly shot me in the head with a BB gun growing up. It would of gone well with the other crap she did to her little brother growing up.
Not saying this girl did it on purpose, but I'm sure I'm not the only person who had a cruel older sibling.
If you knowingly trick a computer into giving you money that's not yours, it's not any different than tricking a person into the same. Open door fallacies are the worst.
They didn't trick it. They hit a combo of buttons, the machine was programmed (or not programmed) to respond to those button presses.
Tricking someone into giving you money implies that you are lying to the person to get the money. This person is not lying, he is not using any external device, he is just using the game like it was programmed.
The Vendor needs to be responsible for software bugs. They need to test it and find the bugs, or they can lose money.

Let's be real here, the UK is hardly an example of good use of laws.
If you knowingly trick a computer into giving you money that's not yours, it's not any different than tricking a person into the same. Open door fallacies are the worst.
They didn't trick it. They hit a combo of buttons, the machine was programmed (or not programmed) to respond to those button presses.
Tricking someone into giving you money implies that you are lying to the person to get the money. This person is not lying, he is not using any external device, he is just using the game like it was programmed.
The Vendor needs to be responsible for software bugs. They need to test it and find the bugs, or they can lose money.
