  1. Re:Steal the gun ... on New Smart Gun Company Hopes To Begin Production This Summer · · Score: 1

    Or you could just rip out the mechanism and replace it with a regular one.

  2. Re:What does this accomplish? on New Smart Gun Company Hopes To Begin Production This Summer · · Score: 1

    Just what I was thinking. In fact it would be simple to just pull the "smart" safety out and replace it with a regular one.

  3. Already Legal on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    This is no different than selling 80% lower receivers along with the instructions and jig needed to turn it into a functional lower, which is 100% legal. Just like all the books floating around with schematics for various firearms are legal.

  5. Re:The World is not entirely filled with idiots on 'Download This Gun' — 3-D Printed Gun Reliable Up To 600 Rounds · · Score: 1

    The lower is not subject to high pressure like the upper is. The lower receiver just houses the magazine and fire control group.

  6. Re:The way things have been going. on 'Download This Gun' — 3-D Printed Gun Reliable Up To 600 Rounds · · Score: 1

    Not with an AR lower. All the high pressure is in the upper receiver. The part of the lower that is subject to the most forces is where the buffer tube screws in, and they have fixed that problem.

  7. DVR Security System on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 1

    It has been shown time and time again that video surveillance does not prevent crime. You need to get a monitored alarm system. Recording video does no good if nobody is going to see it until after your stuff is gone, and the thieves will likely take the DVR with them. With a monitored alarm a break-in is much less likely since there is a much greater chance of getting caught in the act by the police.

  8. Monitored Alarm System on Ask Slashdot: Inexpensive SOHO Crime Deterrence and Monitoring? · · Score: 2

    If they cannot afford the less than $100/month for this service they're not going to be in business long since they obviously aren't turning a profit.

  9. Executive Orders on Federal Gun Control Requires IT Overhaul · · Score: 1

    There are no Executive Orders on this issue. The President does not have legislative power. And you cannot license a right.

  10. Re:So Proud of Gun Ownership on New York Paper Uses Public Records To Publish Gun-Owner Map · · Score: 1

    More people die from deaths related to those things than firearms related deaths.

    Someone mod this up!

  12. Re:US has extradition treaty with Belize on Guatemala Deports McAfee To the US · · Score: 1

    Swedish law? I think you have him confused with someone else. McAfee is wanted for questioning in a murder case in Belize.

  13. Re:Misdirection on Some Apple iMacs "Assembled In America" · · Score: 1

    It appears that you believe that VAT is paid by the manufacturer, you are mistaken. VAT has no effect on tax havens.

    Are you implying that a uni-body enclosure does not magically make a product "premium"? I'm shocked, shocked I say!

  15. Re:Japan, not China... 1960's on Some Apple iMacs "Assembled In America" · · Score: 4, Informative

    The fact that items made there were imported into the USA bearing the label is true.

    FALSE.

    Tell that to the Canadians who are using it without issue.

  18. Re:T-mobile on Nexus 4 Includes Support For LTE · · Score: 1

    It will when T-Mobile rolls out LTE service next year. For now HSPA+ 42 is just fine on T-Mobile, in fact I get the same speeds on that as my friends who have Verizon LTE get. And I have unlimited data to boot.

    T-Mobile includes tethering with most of their Android plans, the news here is that they are not going to allow it with the unlimited 4G data plan.
