At the risk of invoking Clinton's famous "It depends on what your definition of 'is' is" - depending on your definition of proof, I, for one.
Starting at age 10, I take my children shooting at the range. Now, unable to use without me? Sure, absolutely. Unable to use at all? No, thanks. If surveyed and the surveyor can't quantify that, I would say 'no' to that question as the question itself is too open to interpretation and thus the results are open to manipulation (x% of people think children should not be able to handle firearms, etc).
Oh, and your reliability point is spot-on. If less than 100%, I would always own a non-smart gun, because while some of them are for enjoyment, one of them is for a very specific purpose.
Not if you're willing to spend a couple dollars a year on a domain (which, in my case, I own anyway).
Amazon gets amazon@(mydomain), slashdot gets slashdot@(mydomain), etc & all point to 1 single inbox. I have a catch-all in place so I can assign them after the fact (typically I don't bother any more unless one picks up spam - and then I know what business not to trust anymore).
I honestly don't agree with this either. Look how much XP changed to 7 & how much 7 changed to 8/8.1 - people have changes shoved in their faces all the time. I mean, I get your point, I just don't share your opinion:)

Awesome story, glad everyone (except possibly the tool with the axe) is ok :)
I trust NASA, so maybe :)
(guy came at me with an axe, long story) but I managed to dodge that by stepping into a shop. He stayed outside...
I don't know about anybody else, but I'd really like to hear a story that came with that set-up, OT or not ...
Blue box. Been started in many rooms, no problem.
touché :)
Sounds like they could have used these guys.
Technology will never replace fine woodworking.
/Ducks!
Ahh, hit send too soon, I may have misunderstood & you meant only killing the same species. In that case, mea culpa :)
Cats do too. Yes, that is a silly piece, not to be taken too seriously, but Google cats kill for fun and see 7M results, not all humour.

What an original ad hominem. Your mom must be proud.
"terraced house" is British English for "townhouse" (a common design term)
The pupil, who attends a primary school in Lancashire, meant to say he lived in a "terraced house."
a person who inspires or influences others, especially one prominent in a particular sphere.

Seems to fit
48 is plenty old enough to be a grandpa
Not on /. ... ;)

The vast majority of PC users out there
some Windows hotkey combination
The vast majority of PC users out there only use the keyboard to type, the mouse for everything else.
quick and consistent updates
removable battery
micro-SD slot
Pick 2.
unless one of them is quick and consistent updates, then pick 1
Yes, dear.
Sorry, Lumpy, accidentally selected overrated - posting to undo.
I'm holding out for the Fat Man Little Boy kit though.
Fair enough; I'll admit I really just skimmed the links :)
I'll leave this and this here for you.
Further reading if desired. (those are the first 4 links in my search [5th link] - I didn't know why it would hurt either, so I Google'd it.).
You missed one.
Your point is still valid, though, stuff should be expiring left and right.
