1) The Democrats couldn't pass a less odious measure in a Democratic-controlled Senate. Good luck passing that in a Republican-controlled House.
2) I'll happily put this on my own guns after the police have used it for five years on theirs, and have come to accept it as a reliable technology.
3) All in all, Congressman Tierney did this, in all likelihood, to help solidify his re-election next year. Since he got the press he wanted, I congratulate him now on his impending victory.
This is intended to keep unauthorized users from using the firearm, not to help authorized users use their firearms intelligently
George Zimmerman was the intended user of his firearm. The same goes for J. E. Holmes. It might have prevented Adam Lanza from using guns to massacre kids in Newtown, if his mother had kept him locked out of the fingerprint registry. Or, he would have resorted to other and equally gruesome means.
I thought that "transfer of firearm" was intended to cover change of ownership ("This gun is yours now") versus handing it over temporarily for the purpose of handling or firing ("Check out my new SIG, want to shoot it?"). Is my thinking here wrong? If so, what am I missing?
I don't care much about the false positive rate, because I keep my guns locked up. What I need to know before I buy is, what's the false negative rate and the response time? I own some guns for sporting purposes, and a couple of big clunky rifles for hunting. A false negative or a laggy response time on those isn't necessarily a big deal. OTOH my wife and I also have guns for self defense and home defense. A false negative or laggy response time on those could get us killed.
This is true if you're using Debian on the desktop. As a production server, I want something that Just Works and Doesn't Change except for the occasional security fix.
Of particular interest to casual users, from the list of changes in 7.0: "Debian wheezy comes with full-featured libav (formerly ffmpeg) libraries and frontends, including e.g. mplayer, mencoder, vlc and transcode. Additional codec support is provided e.g. through lame for MP3 audio encoding, xvidcore for MPEG-4 ASP video encoding, x264 for H.264/MPEG-4 AVC video encoding, vo-aacenc for AAC audio encoding and opencore-amr and vo-amrwbenc for Adaptive Multi-Rate Narrowband and Wideband encoding and decoding, respectively. For most use cases, installation of packages from third-party repositories should not be necessary anymore. The times of crippled multimedia support in Debian are finally over!"
Sure - until the next codec comes along. Then, it's third party or install from test, as is tradition with desktop Debian.
What's the purpose behind hiring a bunch of fake accounts to follow you? Vanity? The hope that a huge number of fake followers will attract a huge number of real followers? Fake RTs?
I'm in perfect agreement with this comment. Some lost sales are inevitable from this downtime, but the $4.9 million number is based on unwarranted assumptions.
We'll know better what the impact is at their next quarterly statement (if they're honest)
Tim Cook is going to be famous for leading Apple into the abyss.
I'm inclined to agree with this sentiment. I switched from Linux to Mac in 2006 because I was starting grad school and needed a *nix that Just Works. I've been a happy user, but Lion has been finicky, and the new hardware makes me cringe. I am now working my way back to Ubuntu. The only thing holding me back from using Ubuntu exclusively is that I need my EVE Online fixes, and getting the latest release working on WINE can be interesting.
But yeah...in general, the shine seems to be coming off of Apple again.

Because a false negative when I have to defend my family would be less than desirable.

We used to sprinkle instant grits around red and and fire and nests. They'd eat the grits, their stomachs would rupture, and they would die.
Does anyone know whether this might also work on killing nests of crazy ants?
Why did you decide to camp out in Portland, Oregon for 18 months? What was it about Portland that brought you there?

..about buying this equipment for my guns.

So hard that New York Times reporter David Broder had to drive in circles and drain his Tesla's battery.
You realize that Broder's story was thoroughly, totally debunked by Tesla, right? I mean, there was a story on Slashdot about it.
Apple nerfed both, badly, in the last two years. That has me anxious about what they're going to do with the rest of the Mac OSX product line.
Also, a WiFi-only retina MBP? Given the wifi issues my 2011 MBP has had with non-open WiFi, I'm not looking forward to that mess.

There's too much of a customer base for Windows, SQL Server, and Office.
But I do think there's a good chance they'll be acquired sometime in the next ten years.
LiveJournal.
Can I have a remote Wayland session over ssh, like I do with X? No? Then no, it's not going to replace X in an industrial-grade environment.
Barring some announcement from Amazon, my next tablet will be the Google Nexus 7.
And you won't see ever ever EVER a man complaining about this if and when it happens.
Really? Even though it comes off as rude and completely unprofessional? I beg to differ.

Amazon Plans Smartphone to Rival Apple iPhone and Google Android Devices
So if it's competing against Android, is it running Android? Or is it running some other OS that Amazon put together?
As Angry Birds Space is among those affected, there is some hope that Apple may acknowledge the problem and fix it
Fix it, maybe. Acknowledge it? Not bloody likely.
If you really want to close the gender gap, show girls the video of Ariel Waldman's talk at last year's OSCON. That..was awesome.
Between the two of them, they make a compelling case for there being too many law schools.
