Yes, that's my point. Detractors of gun control are using this sensationalization to silence discussion, accusing proponents of politicizing $nearest_tragedy every time gun control gets mentioned. In two weeks somebody will considering approaching the topic and you'll see Fox News frothing at the mouth in reference to this shooting.
Yes, I know. It's the absolute wrong time to talk about things like this
No, it's not.
No, it's not.
Before this was the Empire State shooting. Before that, the Aurora shooting. Before that, the Tulsa shooting. Before that, the Chardon High School shooting. And that's only 2012. We're quickly coming to a state where gun control discussion is silenced the whole year because there is always a shooting nearby.
I have 5 level 80+ chars on WoW, but haven't played the game in at least a year, maybe two, and don't plan to go back to it, even for Pandas.
I seriously thought that adding Pandas was a bad case of jumping the shark
So after talking goats, walking cows, walrus men, British werewolves, zombies, vampires, zombie vampires, egyptian cat men, fungus people, bearish furbolgs, beings of energy wrapped in bandages and necromantic crow-men... you have a problem with pandas?
Eh, it depends. The Kinect has only about 1090 depth values between 30 cm and 10 meters. Most of the values are concentrated in the low range. So yes, while at close depths you'll get a 2 mm resolution, at greater depths the discretization error becomes much higher.
Of course, the main problem is not so much the resolution, but the noise and the image size. At 1.5 meters it gets really hard to track a hand because you get very few samples with unpredictable (noisy) values. You also lose samples (or even worse, get wrong values) around the edges because of registration issues and shadows between the infrared camera and the projector (plus the registration and shadows to the RGB camera if you need the colors). And since fingers are relatively thin, edges are pretty much everywhere. Estimating five fingers under these conditions is pretty hard.

What does it have to do with scrunching "en.wikipedia.org/" in front of some random term? The fact that it works without the slash proves that the expression was anything but random.
Just be sure you don't get the same treatment as Joe Nocera. When he asked Jobs about his health, he got as reply: "This is Steve Jobs. You think I'm an arrogant [REDACTED] who thinks he's above the law, and I think you're a slime bucket who gets most of his facts wrong."
Stephen Baxter wrote about tapping the water in the Moon in his novel Manifold Space. Apparently the notion of deep wells of water on the Moon has been seriously contemplated by astrophysicists since the early 70s.
The way you speak of the 70s as if it was a long time ago makes me start to feel really old.
I believe that article is interpreted as "you can't transform a previous non-crime into a crime". You still can transform a previous crime into a non-crime. Go figure.
Having also been downmodded for critizing Obama, I think it's definitely time to end the witch-hunt against detractors that has begun to permeate this community.
Heh. I like liberals, I really do. But coming from Latin America, a region where every single election is plagued by words like Hope, Progress, Freedom and Change only to become bitter disappointments, I couldn't help but giggle when I heard Obama using them. That's why when I saw Obama "going center" I felt a weird sense of deja-vu.
Yes, because he has not said or done anything in support of telecom amnesty. Disappointing people by not taking an active role in the fight is not the same as supporting something.
The end effect is the same. Leadership you can believe in, indeed.
So basically he'll vote for a bill that gives telecom amnesty and hasn't done anything to date to actually strip the immunity except for a vague promise. And you still say he hasn't changed his position?
Or are you one of the people who think it's all part of a Secret Master Plan (TM)? That Obama works in misterious ways?

Those countries have denied doing so.
Except that France has already apologized.

If Minesweeper crashed all the time on windows, I'd blame Microsoft, right?
Well, it seems the application crashes all the time on you, so I'd rather blame you.

There *does* happen to be a useful page with that name.
My youngest cat is not de-clawed as it is a experiment.
Are you implying that you did declaw all your other cats? Are you aware of how much amputating your cat can hurt them?
I think you have the wrong idea about what being the "absolute worst kind of cat owner" constitutes.
Here in Germany I watch it around 9 - 10 AM. Sometimes the page gets updated a bit later. That would mean usually before 3 - 4 AM in US time.
I wonder how many times we'll keep seeing that picture every time water and Mars are mentioned. It was fun in 2005, and it hasn't aged well.
Meh. It was already covered by the second article. That's what I get for not reading all the TFAs.

Methinks you are confusing irrationals with normal numbers. It's not yet proven whether pi or e are normal.

Considering the democrat definition of compromise is "caving in", I'd say it was a huge success.
I believe that article is interpreted as "you can't transform a previous non-crime into a crime". You still can transform a previous crime into a non-crime. Go figure.
And here's Greenwald's trashing of that explanation.
Wow, you said something against Obama. The moderation rollercoaster will be fun to see.
Nope. The Obama police has arrived already. GP went from +5 interesting to +2 in 15 minutes.

Actually, looking at both logos it seems to be perfect for the state of the Democratic party.
Ass + hat.
