You're new here, aren't you? You'd think that would be the case. Only when bashing citizens. Like taking guns away from law abiding citizens and allowing criminals to have guns. The "remedy" to all of this needless swatting is more money and more swat teams and more violence. They'll use the number of calls they get and incidents to show the "need". Seen it over and over again.

The right way to do it is through the legislature. Call these guys on the carpet. Make the explain why they do the stupid stuff they do, and cut their budgets until they capitulate, or pass laws to stop them.

Here's a thought, the police shouldn't be so militarized. More Sheriff Taylor, less Rambo.

And pass up an opportunity to be Rambo and play with guns? They live for this stuff.
Calmly walking up to the door, ringing the bell and asking if there's a problem - well that's just not cool.

Search for education, and get mad. What bullcrap. Nobody seems interested in stopping them. They give police a bad name.

Not a poor thing. Just like everyone else. Probably less than some, more than others. I'm not complaining. Wouldn't do any good anyhow. We all are victims of discrimination at some point. Part of life. Just un-bunch your panties and go on. The best way to stop discrimination is to - stop it. No restricting guys to force women into something they don't want. If they want it, they can do it and don't need help. Believe me, they're smart. In fact we shouldn't help them. People don't appreciate things as much that way.

Facts are facts however and males are outnumbered on campuses because of "helping women." There is a lot of systemic discrimination against males and I'm sure you know it if you think about it.

Can't comment on game journalism. I know nothing about it. This is slashdot after all. Not into big games, into smaller amateur sports. However if it's like normal journalism, it's crap. Nothing to do with reality.

Glad you posted that. Clearly women don't need any help in the computer area. Any attempt to help them is clearly insulting and sexist.

Of course it is. Just another way they bash men.

Good ideas. However the low flow heads do something. They piss off the person using them. I know. I have one and I hate it. Switching to other brands doesn't seem to make a difference. When I visit Florida, they have real heads and WHOA, what a difference! Thatsa shower!

Not only is there no scientific proof, there is no science. Remember in grade school where they taught the scientific method? Well they've shot that to hell over and over by their models. In fact the last report said they don't know why things aren't a lot warmer given the level of co2 in the atmosphere, yet they are even more sure it's causing it. Ok, that removes all their credibility. They're into religion now. Follow the money.

Just a matter of time before this MM GW is debunked and people will want to kick your ass for even hinting they believed in MMGW. Sort of like still believing in Santa at the age of 25.

They're about making money from crazy lefties. I remember before 2001 they were caught falsifying testimony in Arizona to try to make a certain animal an endangered species. They were doing this with data where the animal wasn't native to, so of course they're scarce there. They got exposed. Same with logging and not letting the forest service set things right. Instead they grow up spindly and tend to catch on fire. Of course - they stopped logging and lost the forest.

So don't donate to them thinking your helping the environment. You aren't.

Really tired of us in the computer biz enabling people to do stupid things that we can prevent. SSL 3.0 is vulnerable, really sucks. Update it to disable/remove it. If it's disabled, make them swear to God that they really know what they are doing to get it back. Don't let them click through.

We went through this with the Format command. At first you would type in format a:. Unfortunately format defaulted to your current drive so if you typed in format, it clobbered C:. So they added a "are you sure". C: got clobbered. Then they had us type in the volume name, c: still got clobbered. Fool proof, only idiot resistant.

I remember a chick sending out notices on what was being backed up. For years. A guy lost around 6 TB of data. HUH? Not backed up? Turned out she had just sent it a week before. He didn't even bother to look at it. She said - TS. Read your e-mail next time. It took him about 6 months to get that data back.

Years ago me and a bunch of other guys were thinking of offering an idiots class. Where they can ignore things and deal with the consequences of their stupidity. Never went anywhere. We'd have to do the whole population. Starting with politicians. You know, the dumbest of the dumb. First lesson - you should have all your government e-mail on a private server. If you answer yes, you have to donate $10,000 to your political foe. Answer yes a second time and you have to vow to resign in 30 days, never to return to politics. I had a lot better suggestions here... though not for a possible young audience.

History shows us that a company like apple gets one shot when the market is already owned by someone else like Android. If there's a problem due to their carelessness, the banks could simply shut them down cold and demand big changes before they take a dime again. I'd hope Apple would be smart enough to know that. Someone should have told them to feel free to comment, no goons are here. We really want to know. Now they could be done.

Real shame, I own quite a few Apple products. Just not like they used to be. I'm wondering if I'll own any apple products by 2020.

Think before you write. A lot of sites provide information to the public that is public use. Commerce agencies for example, IRS with their tax forms, even the White House's site. Why encrypt it? Want the information, just get it yourself or go to the library for a hard copy. No need for the extra overhead. Right now is tax time, do we really want to pay for the hardware to encrypt public forms? Only if you have stock in say Big-IP.

Every time I hear that I can't help but to crack up. The dog catcher stands a better chance. Delaware will soon get their village idiot back. So will Chicago for that matter.

1) Is it right to do this? Of course, I can show you Baltimore City - doesn't have DP and Baltimore County - does have DP. That political line is like magic with crime. No doubt about it, it is a deterrent. The rest of the world that did away with the DP need to admit they are wrong. No shame in admitting you're wrong as long as you truly believed you were right all along.
2) How to do it - They have got to be kidding. There are so many ways that I know of I can hardly count them all. Some very very cruel, some they wouldn't even know. So let's visit some:
    A) Hang 'em, hang 'em high! This is the way it SHOULD be done. On a national holiday. Sell tickets. Let people see morality and how horrible it is. Not in some back room where nobody sees it. We'll get a lot more respect for one another. Maybe we as a society won't be so eager to kill each other via wars. A lot to ask I know, we seem to really like to kill each other.
    B) Shoot 'em via firing squad. I'm against this one because that's a soldiers death. They shouldn't have that honor.
    C) Shoot 'em in the back of the head in their cell - acceptable. They'll never see it coming.
    D) Gas - take your pick. Chloroform, Ether, heck even a computer duster can be used. More toxic ones can be nasty. Chloro used to be used for patients.
    E) Drowning - Easy to implement. Steel tube, grate on top, flood it. Drowns like a rat. So many ways for this one.
    F) poison - any farm has this stuff.

      And so on. I'm sure there are prisons with people that have all kinds of good ideas on how to kill someone.

That's because you were asleep in history class. The United States was ruled by the most powerful Army and Navy in the world at the time. It was because we were armed that we could fight for our freedom. Look into history, look into how and why. It's very interesting. Also, understand that gun control is racist and why. You don't want to be a racist bigot asshole, do you? Then you can't be for gun control.

Now, where do I get my free CNC machine?
