    Be interesting to know if either party was screening out mobile browsers.

    There are people who blame Hitler for what the Stasi did? Interesting.

    The really funny thing about your response? Slippytoad from his post history is clearly a left wing asshole. But keep fucking that chicken Khyber. It's quite entertaining.

  4. Elephants were involved as well.

  5. Re:I deeply dislike the end-run aroudn the courts on Valve Removes Right For Class Action Claims From EULA · · Score: 1

    Neither in the end are most class actions. Even the biggest class actions against places like tobacco corporations barely have any effect.

    This MIGHT have occurred before the '70s, but given its current structure that's HIGHLY unlikely.

    Can you produce multiple peer reviewed studies which show definitively a strong or even medium correlation between higher OVERALL murder/violence rates and assault weapons or even guns in general? No? Then take YOUR strawman and shove it up your ass.

    As for the SCOTUS decision, that's because like most good court decisions it was decided on narrow grounds. That's just how SCOTUS tends to operate.

    Yes, the higher ups, all of which were FBI informants.

    You can do it if you're trying to lighten the trigger pull and file too much away. This requires you to be an idiot of course.

    Wouldn't have been too hard for someone with a laser sight on their gun to shoot at the muzzle flash. Not to mention given how he RAN AWAY when confronted with police resistance he probably would have made the same action when confronted with civilian resistance.

  11. Re:Stupid article. on Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Gun Control, and Patent Law · · Score: 1

    It's because all the other parts break and are replaced too often. Just like a car, the engine and all things that make it go are not registered. The frame is.

  12. Re:The UK has some lead time on this on Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), Gun Control, and Patent Law · · Score: 1

    You would be wrong. The US is the only country where civilian firearms probably exceed population size. Wiki uses the 2007 US gov estimates which are lowballed by at least a couple of million, however the attachment rate even there is 88 for the US vs 30 for Canada.

    Not really. Harris was a psychopath in every sense of the word, and Klybold had severe depression problems that were only apparent long after the fact and had nothing to do with his intelligence.

    And anti-gun advocates don't like to admit that the availability of firearms has zero fucking effect on the suicide rate.

    The MSM tried to pin both the Arizona shooter and the VTech shooter on the Tea Party in the initial reports as well. Not to mention that crazy IRS guy. When it happens EVERY damned time, you're no longer looking at a "quick scoop"

    Between 1934 and 1986, the time period when modern full auto weapons were legal to buy but were registered, there were a grand total of 3 homicides committed with privately owned legal full-auto weapons. Two of those owners were law enforcement officers of some sort who could have stolen a full-auto weapon from their job had they been so inclined. The full-auto ban did nothing.

  17. Re:But ... on The World's First 3D-Printed Gun · · Score: 1

    Yes, because lighter weight and easier cleaning aren't private concerns. As for pistol grips, why shouldn't the private sector be concerned with better ergonomics?

    As soon as they nut up and either start demanding massive carbon sequestration research programs, massive atmospheric geogeneering projects, killing off 90% of the human race or conquering the world to ensure emissions levels stay low, then sure. Until then all I'm seeing are calls for a bunch of ineffectual bullshit that won't even appreciably slow things down, let alone stop it.

  23. Re:Indie games! on The Decline of Fiction In Video Games · · Score: 2

    If Curt had ditched the MMO idea beyond just future plans, it is unlikely that 38 studios would have crashed and burned. They should have put out multiple games with the same IP before even building any of the MMO assets or hiring a team for it.

    Of course, the easiest way to fix the problem would be to drop the employer health insurance tax credit, strike down the interstate barriers to health insurance(Oddly enough, a power the commerce clause was actually meant to have), give a 3 year amnesty to move to a private health insurance plan with the health care providers unable to say no, force hospitals to itemize their bills and have price lists available for non-emergency care, and have the feds take care of the less than 10% of people who health insurance won't insure at all.

    The increase in CAFE and various other safety standards are to blame. Not to mention additional taxes, especially in Western Europe.
