    Sounds to me like you will say anything to try to justify this slaughter. Unfortunately for you, the only result is that your opinions no longer have any initial legitimacy. I hope it was worth it.

    Funny how I never mentioned either political party. Sounds like someone just outed themselves from behind their hood a little too quickly in their attempt to cover their shame.

    Exactly, these failures of manliness are projecting their insecurities for he entire world to see. And I'm afraid that statements of fact are not ad hominem, no matter how small they make you feel.

    That's not entirely true. Guns are also used for people who's medical insurance does not cover Viagra, and your basic coward who needs the compensation just to make it in a world where women and children are able to go out every day without cowering in fear.

    I think the theaters have to give a percentage of the ticket price to the movie company so it's more like ticket prices go from 10 to 25 to compensate.

    I don't know if I'd say rarely. I seem to recall that it was about a 1 in 8 chance of dying each time. And near the end, a majority of the gladiators were actually freemen who signed away their citizenship for a few years to be a gladiator and have a chance at wealth.

    It seemed to me that the blame was rather equally divided between the administration and the unions. Having that many people in a class would be unworkable, but the correct response would be to open up another class. Instead, the principal tried to take away the one classroom that could even hold that number.

    Actually storing the data like this with sufficient redundancy, error correcting, etc. would be a good way to ensure that your data survives large disasters. Not that I believe they actually do this.

  13. Re:Company sued for not using standard safety devi on Company Sued, Loses For Not Using Patented Tech · · Score: 1

    If you check the web for info about the sawstop you'll see that in addition to cramming an aluminum block into the blade, the entire blade mechanism rotates down and into the table. I would imagine that it does this to try to absorb some of the energy caused by stopping everything suddenly. I know that if I tried to suddenly stop the blade on my (rather inexpensive)saw that it would probably tear itself apart.

  14. Re:sounds like a safety law suit jackpot and not a on Company Sued, Loses For Not Using Patented Tech · · Score: 2, Informative

    If I recall, the number one cause of injury on a table saw is caused by kickback and not amputation. This is where the blade catches the wood and throws it back at the operator. The sawstop does nothing to prevent this.

  15. Re:sounds like a safety law suit jackpot and not a on Company Sued, Loses For Not Using Patented Tech · · Score: 1

    I take it you are talking about the blade. In that case, the blade is ruined as it gets fused onto the stopping block. The saw is mainly thick cast iron so I don't think it would warp that much.

    To be honest, the saws that he makes are top of the line saws irregardless of the sawstop feature. However, I have a $400 saw at home that serves me quite nicely. That saw would probably end up costing at least $600 if they had to add this technology and since I keep the darn blade guard on my saw, it would not provide much extra safety.

  17. Re:sounds like a safety law suit jackpot and not a on Company Sued, Loses For Not Using Patented Tech · · Score: 1

    While the licensing fee is 3%, the extra cost would be considerably more when it comes for smaller table saws. You would need to redesign everything to be able to stop a blade traveling around 50 mph at the cutting edge in a fraction of a second. A large cast iron saw could withstand that sort of force, but the smaller, fixed drive ones would tear themselves apart if they weren't totally redesigned.

    Your right to choose is limited when other people are forced to live with the consequences of your ill-informed choices. And you are not skeptical, you are merely an ignorant fool mouthing things that you are obviously not competent enough to comprehend. Just because you have been around wasting space for a certain amount of time, does not automatically give your verbal diarrhea any legitimacy whatsoever. Those of us that are competent, we have not only the right but the duty to call out bullshit wherever it occurs, less other be forced to suffer from the results of your shameful ignorance. And what about swine flue? Why don't you give us yet another reason to ridicule your ignorance?

    Your misguided ranting about autism is the perfect example of why some people cannot be trusted to make decisions. Just because you want to find someone to blame does not make it acceptable to spew out uninformed bullshit which may well kill anyone ignorant enough to listen to you. And yes, I have a child with autism (aspergers actually), but I also have the ability to think rationally. something you should stop and do once in a while for everyone's sake.
