A few firearms/accessories companies have written letters to law enforcement in various states telling them that they will no longer provide them with any weapons or accessories that are not legal for civilians in their state.

I predict a overall decrease in traffic accidents as we start seeing the average speed on roads reflect the speed limit versus the average of 5 to 10mph or more that is common now.

With people like Zuckerberg saying that he only wants people under 30 and the reports of ageism in CS and IT fields, I can see why people aren't going into CS and IT. Some are going to do well but many are going to drop by the wayside. Why not go into a career where you are still valued are 50 or 60?

Back when they started to allow commercial content on the Internet, they should have made a few more rules:

1. Require a business license to get a .com
2. Require 501 non-profit status to get a .org
3. Require a /24 network to get a .net
4. Make a new TLD for everything else.

Look at how well this worked for .edu. (must be an accredited, four year, degree-granting organization).

Engineers are great at math but you need someone who excels with language.

Battery powered motorcycles make a lot of sense for general consumers, if the price is right. Most of the disadvantages that keep people from buying all-electric cars don't come into play with motorcycles, especially when they are a 2d vehicle.

Watches stopped being about telling time a while ago. Devices that tell time are ubiquitous; from phones to microwaves. Watches, especially high-end watches, are fashion accessories. Many are hard to read but it doesn't matter because they aren't really used as time pieces. Calling the new devices "watches" simple because they are designed to be worn on the wrist is a mistake. Telling time is the least of their functionality but so easy to include; why not?

While the expensive commercial hand seems overpriced, it also reflects costs like R & D, field testing and marketing that a printed hand may not have incurred. It seems as though the designers of the 3d printed hand probably looked at different commercial models and copied the best features from them, making this something of an apples/oranges comparison and it may infringe on (so called) intellectual property, if offered commercially. Could the printed hand exist without resting on the shoulders of the commercial products?

Most things made by Digital Equipment Corp.

Part of the reason the ACLU doesn't spent much effort on 2d amendment issues is that the NRA is much better funded and defends only one amendment. No 2d amendment case with merit has failed to make it to court for lack of backing. Tons of 1st and 4th amendment cases don't get off the ground because of the much more limited resources available to the ACLU.

"...requires 3dB better SNR, which in turn means doubling the transmit power..."

Or using better antennas.

Didn't you write a long time ago that it was wrong to try to use an infected machine to remove viruses because it couldn't be trusted -- and then go on to found a company that did just that? Care to comment?

While I can see where they would be occasionally useful, mostly for making replacements for small, hand-to-find parts, I'm not ready to buy yet. I thought about it last summer but for the money, I got an oxy-actylene set up instead. I figure in 10 or even 20 years, the gas welding setup will be worth about what I paid for it whereas the 3d printer will be worth approximately nothing, like a 10 year old computer.

I'm not trying to say that these are equivalent goods with equivalent capabilities, just that I will get more use for more years out of a welder.

The Luxottica Group is the recognized leader in over priced eye-ware.

So they're basically running through LinkedIn and targeting anyone who says they're a SysAdmin, a VP, or anyone else who looks like they might have elevated privileges?
