cogeek is absolutely correct. Car and guns are both responsible for tens of thousands of deaths every year, and they should be treated similarly. Because they are inherently dangerous, cars should require a license to own and operate. Same for guns. To get that license, you should be required to take a safety course to demonstrate that you understand the risks of using a car, and know how to use one safely. Same for guns. The sale of cars should be regulated, with titles of ownership that would require a notary witness to transfer ownership to another person. Same for guns. Cars should require a key to operate them, so some random person can't walk up and steal your car, or use your car without you knowing about it. Same with guns. And people should not leave their keys in their car locks when not in use. Same with guns.

Cars and guns should both be legal, but reasonably regulated to minimize deaths caused by their use.

I'm glad we see eye to eye on this issue cogeek.

BTW, I am a car owner, and a gun owner.

Calculators are very useful. How many people do you know (other than engineering students) who carry a calculator in their pocket?

IANAL

Stupid enough to post about the Tax Report article in the Dead Lab Mice discussion?

The article failed to mention that the cages of Algernon and Jonathon were found vacant.

Based on historical data, the correct answer is 'no'.

Microsoft needs to succeed in the smartphone market, so it's essential that they emphasize the phone capabilities in their product names. With this in mind, the GUI name should be:

"Phone Phone Phone Phone Phone Phone Phone Windows 8 Phone Phone Outlook XBox Phone Phone Phone Bing Phone Phone GUI and Phone."

Lovely Phone. Wonderful Phone.

How about "Windows Phone 8 Phone Graphical GUI Interface for Phones." If it's not already taken.

The Precious and I were simply agreeing with you.

Nasty hobbitses. Always correcting our grammar. We know perfectly well what we were saying, don't we, my Precious.

I have a brain the size of a planet, and which robot do the humans choose?

The one that can bend objects.

How depressing.
