The purpose of having is a gun rack is to carry your guns to where you will be hunting. Whether they are sheathed in a soft case is not really a problem unless it impedes you from jumping out of your truck and nailing a deer by the side of the road. I remember hunting as a kid some 40 years ago with my grandpa and my dad. We always kept the guns sheathed until we got out where we were going to hunt.
Having a gun rack in Wisconsin was not illegal. Having unsheathed guns in the gun rack was illegal.
That difference is significant although apparently not to you.
But having a rack isn't illegal... there are 4 states that have regulations about the status of the guns being carried in the racks as I understand it. In Wisconsin the DNR had a rule that guns couldn't be carried outside of a case in order to discourage spontaneous poaching. The rule apparently was working to prevent roadside poaching since people wouldn't be caught driving down the road with their guns unsheathed. I read a couple anecdotes that poaching since the rule was repealed has been on the rise and these anecdotes were on hunter's forums.
Sounds like the police were much too zealous or overbearing in their enforcement of that rule... which is probably why it is no longer a rule.
I am not sure the racks are illegal. The original poster I responded to was insinuating that people could be arrested merely for having a gun rack in their truck. I still have not seen a case where that is true.
Can't find anything on the google about people getting arrested for having a gun rack in their car in either Wisconsin or Illinois. Do you have some more info or a link I could look at?
Funny how the coffers of Social Security are "still bleeding" and yet they have a greater than 2 trillion surplus in T-bills. Pretty good for a pay-as-you go system. Funny how SS has been going bankrupt for the last 70+ year.
I had to quit using firefox for the first time in years because it kept locking up in a very ugly way in 20.4 I have been waiting for the upgrade so I can browse without locking every 6 seconds. Safari isn't as intuitive for me since I am used to how firefox was and I don't have a chromium based browser on my system anymore. Opera is a nice browser, but it really does have to do with how used to something one is.
I have heard a lot about printing up this or that in relation to guns. I have yet to here if they are even minimally accurate. Usually the meticulous machining of a heavy barrel is what will lead to accurate shots. Not sure plastic guns fall into the same level of refinement.
As of last October simple googling led me to this:
"In fact, of the 28 funded projects -- involving 23 companies -- listed in a 2012 congressional report, only four involve businesses that were either sold or are not in operation."
So basically you are listing 28 companies that received money for projects that as of last october 4 had failed and yet you claim something like all of them failed?????
Most of what I have read about the stimulus investment points to a better than average return than a typical venture capitalist would expect at least in terms of percentages of success. The funding of the industry itself has led to more success stories than not. Green industries in general are a growing segment of the economy and the growth was largely spurred by the stimulus, but now even without the stimulus it is still growing. To me at least that seems to indicate sustained success for this newly developing segment of our economy. We should be cheering this development... not lampooning it. Green jobs will play an increasing role in our future economy and it is great that we are embracing this as a country. Why become the backward country who has to buy all of its tech from china and europe?
And that guy isn't even considered among the 10 greatest physicists of our time as you point out.
But tell me this do you think that we have tapped out all of the key to the universe at this point? There will be lots of guys who will come up with lots more groundbreaking science.
Just remember we have yet to get off of this rock let alone get to another solar system or another galaxy. Along that path there will need to be a lot more understanding of the universe than we currently have.
Additionally, we have yet to solve all of the problems that exist on this planet. I think the guy that finally comes up with the way to cure cancers will have some sort of fundamental breakthrough. And we have yet to eradicate any diseases in our species. The only one that is not currently with us is locked in a vault somewhere.
Perhaps you think that we have figured most things out, but I suspect there are lots of surprises yet to be discovered and there will be guys who do so.
The guy who came up with PCR while driving on the road to Santa Cruz California would make the question in the Title completely silly and irrelevant.
Is slashdot becoming like yahoo or something? Snazzy titles to suck people like me in, but once I consider what the title is saying, it is really just absurd.
I would tend to agree that general purpose machines will not go away. There are too many people who will want/need those types of machines. A market will be there and companies will cater to that market. It is just that most people don't actually need general function machines. They need appliances.

Business is booming is funny comment but in a very sad way for those who died.
I think the business was ignoring some regulations however.
Can't find anything on the google about people getting arrested for having a gun rack in their car in either Wisconsin or Illinois. Do you have some more info or a link I could look at?
Is it deregulation or lack of regulation to begin with?
Who can't buy a gun at Walmart anywhere in the country?
Who gets arrested anywhere for a gun rack?
Sounds like you don't get out of Texas much.

Wish I had mod points.....
+1 for being succinct and absolutely correct
Oh right... incompetence was his disguise.
Are you sure this guy isn't from the Surete?
The description sounds like something from Get Smart or something else.....not a serious CIA operative.

Nice google search..... hahaha.

Thanks for the clarification
Could there be some variation? If another Star was slightly bigger or slightly smaller, wouldn't the habitable zones be different?
I have OSX on my Dell Mini. Seems to work fine.

Pretty much what you said.
People seem so dang paranoid about big bad china.
