You're just regurgitating an NRA pamphlet there. If you looked at other countries, you'd see that an armed armed populous makes one hell of a target for both armed criminals and armed govenments.
In countries with stricter gun control, sure, criminals that *really* want guns can still get them, but they tend to just shoot each other. In the cases that guns are used to rob banks or whatever (although in practice that's normally done with replicas), it's just money - it's not worth someone dying over. Rather than being a Hollywood hero today, let the police deal with it tomorrow.
It's the police forces' job to deal with them. The moment you have vigilantes running around trying to police the criminals, you end up with more dead criminals, vigilantes and innocent bystanders alike.
What tighter gun control does, is prevent the guy who decides to pop one in his neighbour for looking at him the wrong way. He's forced to thinks about how he's going to do the job, and realises 5 minutes later than it's not worth it.
If you think a few hicks with hunting rifles and handguns are going to have any chance against a modern defence force with their missile launched from a couple of hundred miles away, you're just deluded.
Your second amendment was meant for a different time, when the only difference between an army and a militia was the uniform they wore. The world has changed in the past 200 years, and the rest of the world has moved on.
That's kind of a silly argument. It basically boils down to, "if you don't verify your copies, you'll probably get errors, so CDs are bad".
All you have to do is verify each copy as you go, and there is no error to accumulate. Good ECC will prevent errors cropping up during the life-time of a single disk.
No, it's not actually. This is the New South Wales government, whereas the "child abuse" case (I don't believe he was actually accused of distributing child porn) was the Queensland government.
Australian government is much like US government in that we have separate state governments plus a federal government. The states are technically sovereign over the federation, but like the US, there's constant to-ing and fro-ing about how much power they've chosen to hand over to the federal government.
We in NSW have enough problems with our government without it being tarred with every other state government's brush.
but you'd have to perform all of the research that's gone into the Rorschach all over again
WHAT RESEARCH? All the "research" confirming the validity of the test assumes the test is legitimate to begin with. Can you point to any serious research showing that the test can reveal any independently verifiable information about the patient? No? Welcome to Freudian psychology.
"Ooh, the person sees butterflies in most of the images. They must have mummy issues. We know it's right because the Rorschach test tells us it's right!"
You have no reason to believe that this guy is a hypocrite beyond the fact that he's a journalist. Yet you're willing to make him "accountable" for the hypocrisy of other journalists.
Did you even read the wiki article you linked to? How exactly does the birthday attack help you generate a differing image with an identical SHA1 sum to that of the original?
Oh and check out the nude pictures of Hanson, unfortunately it's only funny because it's happening to someone I don't like.
I know this is off-topic, but it's looking less and less likely that it was Hanson.
How bad must the woman who posed for some guy 30 years ago be feeling? She probably has a family now, and I doubt would want that kind of thing being dredged up (Some might say she "wouldn't like it";)). It's pretty irresponsible of the Telegraph to basically post nude photos of some nobody in a major newspaper just because she looks like a politician...

Yes, because that's exactly the experience of the rest of the developed world, right?
I'd also rate dental pain as probably the worst pain in the male body
Agreed - that's why I only date women with false teeth.
Just don't ever try sex for a migraine.
Not much risk of that around here...
No, actually. Attending a polling place is compulsory; voting isn't.
George? Is that you?

I know you're joking, but from the article:
The silly thing is that when they ban a game, they increase the number of local torrenters, which increases availability to those under 18.
And while it doesn't help me directly, it helps a number of my friends just a bit.
I genuinely appreciate it too.
Weird - he has the same pi number as me!
And his hat was gnarly.

Oh, I misunderstood. What you're actually saying is "hypocrites should die".
Still makes you a pretty fucked up individual.
So we should report information that will probably lead to someone's death, because reporters do it all the time.
Nice. I sure hope nobody with similar views ever looks upon your profession negatively.
You can just claim it's your identical twin!
MHOOSH!!!

Yeah, because the Swedish are really going to give a shit.
