Those are the problems I see as preventable by the ALLEGED features of this technology. (I am pro RKBA). They happen, I am not sure how many per year. (Honestly I don't care, because my guns are secured)
It is not going to stop most mass shootings, murders, negligent discharges, ...

Comment Fuck Religion (Score 1) 1318

Why do we tolerate this bullshit? Religion is a mental illness that requires institutionalization, so the diseased don't harm others. Only when it can be shown that individuals are not a danger to the community should they be released and placed on a public list like sex offenders (obviously there is a lot of overlap between the two)

Windows 7 Touch, Dead On Arrival 352

snydeq writes "Ongoing Microsoft hype around its Surface touch technology has suggested that, with Windows 7, a touch-based UI revolution is brewing. Unfortunately, the realities of touch use in the desktop environment and the lack of worthwhile development around the technology are conspiring against the notion of touch ever finding a meaningful place on the desktop, as InfoWorld's Galen Gruman finds out reviewing Windows 7's touch capabilities. 'There's a chicken-and-egg issue to resolve,' Gruman writes. 'Few apps cry out for a touch UI, so Microsoft and Apple can continue to get away with merely dabbling with touch as an occasional mouse-based substitute. It would take one or both of these OS makers to truly touchify their platforms, using common components to pull touch into a great number of apps automatically. Without a clear demand, their incentive to do so doesn't exist.'"
