- Any pistol is likely to have less bullets than an AR weapon. (Expanded magazines in a pistol are rare.) When you are out of rounds, your fucked. Meanwhile the rifle holder is still spraying.
- A rifle will usually have enough grains behind the round to go through walls and other obstacles. This is why police switched to 9mm -.38 rounds literally bounced off windshields more than once.
- A pistol flops around while shooting. A rifle is a more stable platform with less aim correction time required (if any in an experienced shooter as the killer was.)
- It takes longer to correctly aim a pistol than a rifle. A rifle is more like a line with two points - a pistol is more of bobbing on a point.
- More but I think the major points are made...
That all said, being on the wrong end of a pistol is mighty damn dangerous.
The bill would make it a crime to offend, harass, terrify or even just annoy another person online. Skordas points out a few issues, like how will law enforcement find these so-called "online trolls?" and who is going to set the basis for what is considered "offensive?"
Guess I will just have to start facebuch.com in like, some Caribbean island or something. Damn those patent/copyright laws (shaking fist with furious look on face - oh sh!t - can I use "face" or did they patent/copyright that too?)
The way the US government is going broke at so many levels (NYC is considering tolls on bicycle riders) - I can certainly see some "fines" coming down the road for at least illegal clauses in contracts.
An officer may not have made an arrest, but the officer still has a right to detain you. Law classes are worth the money - even undergraduate ones. In fact, there should be civil rights classes in these universities. Of course, perhaps they won't like the outcome of students educated in the law....
Depends on what one is trying to solve I suppose... simulations based on real world actions - police simulations, earth science simulations, game programming - calculus might be somewhat beneficial. Perhaps even a foundation for other mathematics (tensors for example)...

Gives new meaning to plantation worker. There was an open source tome about working on a plantation (aka commercial software environment) v an open source one. Does anyone remember it?
No, it is a lead. But releasing innocent people's names associated with such a thing does no one any good. I think they need to be really careful, which is probably why the police aren't acting on it immediately.
Sounds like a good reason to bring IT jobs back home (whether European or Americas) to me. Otherwise just let India read your emails and web based applications on demand. That'll be good for proprietary information I am sure.

Nevermind facebook or the other mega sites out there that might have software in C/C++. :)
Let me put a couple of facts out there:
.38 rounds literally bounced off windshields more than once.
- Any pistol is likely to have less bullets than an AR weapon. (Expanded magazines in a pistol are rare.) When you are out of rounds, your fucked. Meanwhile the rifle holder is still spraying.
- A rifle will usually have enough grains behind the round to go through walls and other obstacles. This is why police switched to 9mm -
- A pistol flops around while shooting. A rifle is a more stable platform with less aim correction time required (if any in an experienced shooter as the killer was.)
- It takes longer to correctly aim a pistol than a rifle. A rifle is more like a line with two points - a pistol is more of bobbing on a point.
- More but I think the major points are made...

I wonder if the reaction is there because there is someone to yell at versus all the cameras that run automatically.
I have walked into many companies and seen plenty of diversity - Indians, Pakistani's, Philippines, etc.
Do you have a link about this? I want to learn more...
It is coming to the US (assuming you are posting from the US):

It's why I go backpacking in signal free zones. Freedom!
The data portion is getting chucked. Half the price right there. I can do wi-fi and get by.
Not anyone who saw "Bait Car" on TV!
A friend kept a realistic plastic snake peering out from under the seat. His car was never touched.
...crucifixion and public flogging for the thieves.
Although having my laptop and back up external drives (thank god for TrueCrypt) stolen might have embittered me a little.

Talk about taking Franken-food to the next level - geesh!
If I had the points, I would +1 this one for sure.

Sounds good until someone uses your stolen identity for a login and payment.
Not to mention one would be a complete dumbass to use their real name.
I wonder how many Barak.Obama99 and George.Bush99 (or your country leaders) are logins?
How many stolen credit cards are logins?
Hopefully they are not releasing the names of people victims of identity theft thereby adding more to their woes...
If people cannot see the potential of this... so much for slashdot being for programmers...
