For all the help auto complete is, I'd be quite happy to lose it entirely. On the other hand, auto complete should be different on each user's machine because the users past searches influence the results shown. Also, other users may want to see the results this user complains of. In a world with so many people having the same name, trying to control your name bumps up against the rights of everyone else that has the same name. People have to accept that auto complete is not an information source in itself. To suggest it is result's in silliness like this.

Comment: No terrorist needs a 3D printer (Score 4, Insightful) 856

Guns and explosives are easy to get thanks to America's right to bear arms. The representative would have 3d printer regulation before gun regulation? That makes absolutely no sense at all. Since 3d printers can be made by hobbyists at home, effective regulation is impossible. Not to mention that firing a 3d printed gun as a proof of concept and having an effective weapon are two very different things. A car is a far more dangerous weapon than a 3D printer. Are you afraid to drive?

Passengers now know they have to save themselves from terrorists in the air. It has been shown repeatedly that anyone threatening the safety of a flight is quickly brought under control by the passengers themselves. This keeps planes safer than any amount of screening will ever do.

One time I put balsa wood spars at the bottom of a dry cleaner bag, lit a couple of birthday candles in the center and held it over the BBQ to fill with hot air. It floated up and slowly glided along like a flickering glowing ball. I caused a huge traffic jam as the whole west end of the city got out of their cars to watch the UFO. When the candles burnt out it just disappeared. Many people saw it zooming off into space, which I sincerely doubt.

Comment: And everyone in Belgium should pay a speeding fine (Score 1) 162

Owning a car in Belgium means Belgians have the ability to speed on the roads, therefore the only sensible course is for all Belgians to pay a fine for the speeding they otherwise would have gotten away with. Children! They can grow up into criminals, so new parents should have to pay for possible future crimes by their children. Pets! Laundry! Toilet paper! Where will it end?

Quark! Quark! Beware the quantum duck!
