Comment I dunno (Score 2) 45

Why isn't anyone on topic with this? Who cares what the name is? It's a case of knowing that we can do something, but my question is should we? Should an open source project want to reduce privacy even more so than it is now? Ask yourself that because I read the article and that along with face recognition in Facebook is taking the advertising stuff a little further than what I would think it needs to go to be useful.

Comment It's plausable (Score 1) 331

That they are sucking more money out of you any way they can like tethering, text messaging, etc. Why the heck is unlimited text messaging $30 per month in addition to your 4 gig data plan which doesn't cost much more? It's ridiculous. I don't mind paying for stuff they do, but how much data does a text message use for instance. A one time $5 fee would be OK maybe but to keep charging you $5 per month is pure profit. Simple as that and they also insult the intelligence of anyone with half a brain.

I'm sure if you look there are other manufactures of something similar. What the heck is wrong a S&W revolver for a gun at home? The police may need more firepower. The point is that your 3 year old can't fire it.

As far as smart gun stuff, why doesn't someone enterprising just use finger print recognition for your trigger finger? It needs to work every time and fast but it sounds like the ultimate solution and of course never allowing a 3 year old to play with your guns is the cheap and simple solution.

Despite the stuff that gets on tv handguns kill around 40,000 per year. People need to really be careful with them as some of it is accidental.
