I think we can really fuck with them. Chaff, deception traffic...

Let's get started on making more hay for their stacks, people! Hell. You'll run a client for SETI, why not run one to preserve your intelligent life, here on Earth!

. . .stay for the Bond Villain who, knowing what he's up against, reads "Dorsai!" and comes with a completely off the grid attack.

Nevertheless - equal or MORE uses for defense than for offense. And as far as "2A absolutists", what other rights are you willing to sacrifice as not absolute?

I think people are just getting a little tired of the 3D printing hype. Yes, it's a cool emerging technology, but the sensationalism of these headlines and articles are a little grating at this point.

Calling it a "3D printed car" is not exactly lying, but it borders on disengenuous, seeing that the guts of the car are, of course, still manufactured the traditional way. It's apparently the body and frame that were printed, from what I can tell. Seriously, would that have been so damn hard to mention in the summary or the article? Oh, but that sounds a lot less impressive, doesn't it...

It was stated in the article that the car had 40 parts. I'm pretty sure they meant there were 40 printed parts, because there's no way in fuck you can build a car in 40 parts, unless you're conveniently counting the engine and frame as a single "part". Or maybe they're just counting each pre-packaged assembly as a "part".

I don't think people would complain quite as much if there was any real semblance of critical reporting here - less hype and more tech.

See page 8 of the PDF: 235,000 violent crimes, 103,000 property crimes. Total of 338,000 uses over 5 years, about 67,000 per year.

But it if takes 15 seconds to recognize your fingerprints and unlock...

Liberty is only hell to the carefully indoctrinated Commie sheeple. For those with a knowledge of History and Economics there never was any hell. You whinge on about ME spewing memes, and look at you in all your glory, splendid one.

I would that it was not your job to offer ersatz Zen.

Was that your "just randomize it" call? I never understood in what way it was "better".

You privilege yourself with flair and panache, sir.

Oh, that my gruel were half as grueling as yours, sir!

It depends on what you need to do, and what you know about it.

If you are not willing to walk away from it, on short notice? Then buying nothing is wise.

The trick about big financing is that you don't own a house - a bank owns you. Your on their plantation.

If you didn't barter or pay cash, you are on Massah's rules, Massah's time.

Yes. Enjoy 15-30 years of BEARABLE slavery. But you OWN something... Just ask the taxman.

You have Stockholm syndrome - and don't recognize it. You should read about Edward Bernays, some time - before lashing out in pseudo-moral rage against a proposition who's arguments you fo not actually comprehend.

We are stardust
We are golden
And we've got to get ourselves
Back to the garden

The tyranny of location! Don't worry. They have a fix for that with TPP and TTIP. ;-)

One law to rule them all, one law to bind them...

How long does it take to recognize and unlock? I know the GlobalEntry kiosk at US Customs takes a solid 5-10 seconds...

Would you accept a report by the anti-gun Violence Policy Center that concludes there are 67,000 valid defensive uses of a firearm each year, making it slightly more likely that a firearm will be used for defense rather than for committing a crime? Reality probably lives somewhere between the points (VPC and NRA), but in either case - it's more than the criminal use of firearms.

Indeed, every heart beats its last. Therefore, the path taken between conception and demise is the interesting part.
