What can't you do in C? I know that if it can't do something easily, you can create a library in it so that you can do it easily.
Throw an exception? Stack unwinding? RAII? Object construction/destruction?
I'd like to see a library that does all those easily/automatically.
A C++ compiler OTOH...now you're talking!
Judge Dredd's gun 'executes' anybody else who tries to fire it. Are they going to implement that feature, too?

"After each firing, the ammo cartridges expanded enough that they had to be pounded out with a hammer."
Keep your Semmerling for the moment, Jack...
I don't think that's necessarily a problem to people who want to sneak guns past a metal detector. If one shot isn't enough, carry two guns..
Considering Apple (the corporation) paid $6 billion last year in taxes plus the taxes paid by their US employees I think the taxpayer got a pretty damn good ROI.
Considering they're still delivering iPhones using taxpayer-funded roads and lighting up their stores using taxpayer-funded electricity, I'd say it's an ongoing relationship.
PS: Quoting numbers instead of percentages is full of fail.
It's whatever the going rate is, the same rate that other people were paying when Apple was getting wealthy.
Nobody has shown that what Apple has done shouldn't be morally acceptable.
Jobs/Woz grew up in the USA, they were educated there and used the resources/facilities/opportunities of the USA to earn their fortunes. Many of those resources/facilities/opportunities were provided using taxpayer money.
Not giving back to the young people growing up today is morally acceptable to you?
And money, real or imagined, is money !!
You can bet they convert them to real money as soon as they receive them.
Why would they risk holding onto them? They might lose all their value at any time.
It shouldn't be that hard to have a 3d printer determine if it is making something with a hole the size of a standard bullet.
Yes, we're lucky there's such a thing as a "standard bullet"...
The problem with printed firearms is that they're plastic. We have no means to detect them. They instantly obsolete our security infrastructure. You can walk onto an airplane with one. You could walk into a courtroom with one. You could walk into the White House, Congress, or the Supreme Court with one. That is a major problem.
You know how I can tell you've never typed "zip gun" into google?
These kind of luddites probably "print a gun" means you can press a button and out pops a fully functioning Glock 9mm.
Making zip guns in a machine shop is waaaay easier/cheaper then trying to get a 3D printer to produce anything more than a misshapen blob of plastic. Even if the printers improve, plastic guns will never be a replacement for the real thing (which are made of metal!)
Domain blocking has been so successful already. No one will figure out how to use alternative DNS servers, or simply type in the IP address manually.
Doesn't matter, it's all about training governments to bend over whenever they say so. They'll be back again soon, with bigger demands.
PS: Thanks, RIAA, for letting me know about Grooveshark...
Wasn't there a guy who tried this once before?
The men in black SUVs paid him a visit. Just like they'll pay this guy a visit...
It finds that 11% of files in Firefox are highly interconnected
It means 89% aren't...which sounds much nicer.
- have more pressing concerns in europe right now that whether they can download pirated media. You know, minor things like over 50% youth unemployement in spain, the collapse of the greek economy and its knock on effects, mass immigration, enviromental degradation...
Right, because the existing parties here in Spain are doing such a good job of running the country.
Who knows, maybe a bit of young blood who doesn't talk the talk or wear an expensive suit might be a good thing.
Oh, a different meaning for an acronym that's been in use for over 50 years. That will sure help with the confusion!
It's not an acronym, it's an abbreviation.
(or do you go around saying "CUPOO" to everybody?)
