Really? What powerful people wish to ban paintball, and what do they stand gain from it? This is a knee-jerk reaction of people reacting to a tragedy, and willing to try anything to make sure it doesn't happen again, not a vast secret conspiracy to fulfil some nebulous goal of world domination. Just because it's wrong, and unlikely to work doesn't mean it's sinister.
Highly unlikely, since retailers are probably far happier with online sales than with their physical stores, and will lobby like hell against imposing an additional penalty for doing business online.
By bringing serious study and research to this field, we can shed light on it and evolve the field to be at least in line with current scientific thought. Beyond that, it would also be possible to expand the theological underpinnings of the theory and discover the rationale behind it. How much better off would we be if we finally cleared away all the religious baggage of Creationism and brought it inline with real science?
Clearing away the religious baggage of creationism would leave nothing. So yes, let's do it!
You laugh and mod parent funny, but I actually picked up the book on a whim because I wanted non-fiction. What I got was a kid in a rowboat with a tiger.
Back on topic though, I really liked "The Code Book" by Simon Singh, and it has a significant amount of number theory and statistics that is light enough for someone without too much background to pick up.

Well, actually, if you model the building as a large quantum particle (oxymoron), you could align the spin against the earth's magnetic field, thus maximizing the energy....I should sell that theory and make some oney.

And an 'n' instead of a 'c'?

Mainly because all the girls will be so testosteroned up that none of the guys will want to sleep with them.

Then you're not bright enough to send an email.

Mr. Ninja, will you stand UP, please?
Incidentally, I find it appalling that you can become a programmer with less training than it takes to become a plumber.
Clearly the Republicans were aiming for the wrong demographic.
My forte is made out of cushions from my mom's couch.
You mean your mom's couche, I think.
Now, I wonder what you can bribe a touchscreen terminal with? Windex?
You could bribe it by touching it, you know, the same way you would a Congressman. "Oh yeah, rub my screen good...'
Newton, sick of all those apples falling on his head, is planning to rewrite the laws of physics to make gravitation a repulsive force.
You mean a firewall, right?

I would buy lighter chairs and F***ing kill everyone in sight.

There are Frat boys who use linux....me, for one.
You wish. This is a really common Indian view. I know, I grew up in India.
