This is like the Fitbit but new and more durable, longer battery life etc. They don't ship until March but they're leading the CES Last Gadget Standing Contest right now. I got one for my mom and one for myself

TFA says they control two thirds of the seats, so I don't know what that's all about...

Have you tried them in the last week? They redid the whole app and it's pretty awesome now, multiple accounts and everything.

My father was a lawyer, we used to go on road trips to fight the speeding ticket we got on the last road trip.

My favourite defence was the calibration log. "Manual says it has to be calibrated at each shift, do you have records showing it was calibrated on the morning of _______? Nope? Thanks, have a nice day."

And then we'd sit in the back and watch every other defendant use the same questions and get let off :)

How about you just copy our (Canadian) gun laws then? This crap just doesn't happen here. If you get stopped with a gun, you better be going hunting, or to your local gun range, or else you're in big trouble.

I didn't say impossible

That is the typical usage. I don't believe it's very accurate.

I can call you a European since you live in Europe. Why can't I be an American because I live in the Americas?
America is much bigger than the US of A

You're a fucking moron if you think that's a sound argument. The usefulness of a computer far outweighs the possible bad outcomes, and it would be pretty hard to kill someone with malicious code.

Second line, I meant fully-automatic rifle, not handgun. durr

Well what the fuck do I know? I'm Canadian. I can't own or transport a registered handgun unless I belong to a shooting range. It's workin' out pretty good for us.

Please show me the last time this happened with a handgun or hunting rifle?

There's still no reason for someone to own an operational handgun.

I agree you can never completely stop these sorts of things, but you can at least pretend you're trying.

I won't pretend to know everything about guns, but I'll give it a shot.

- No burst fire of any rate. You have to pull the trigger for each bullet
- No high capacity clips. 5-10 rounds ought to take down any deer.
- Only long-barrel rifles should be allowed, since that's all you need for hunting
- I'm from Canada, I have no problem with not being able to carry around a handgun everywhere. I know that's going to be a bigger issue for the US so allow them for now. Everyone I know with a concealed carry permit is a responsible gun owner, it's probably not the worst idea.

How's that sound?

I don't think banning all guns is necessarily the answer- if somebody really wants to kill someone they'll find a way. Automatic weapons, though, have no good reason to exist and should ABSOLUTELY be banned. It's insane that they are legal in the US.

Doh. Every ruler*

I've ruler I've ever owned does exactly that.
