The user is the 'safety', an untrained user is a self correcting problem.

Don't know how to use one? Take a class. Can't afford a class? Sell your gun, you have other more pressing problems.

Note: you can always enlist as well, besides a job you also get *decent* firearm training.

Comment: Glass is GREAT for business use (Score 1) 331

Didn't see a business comment yet, why isn't this being pointed out?

Warehouse workers look at pallets of material, glass scans the barcode and overlays exactly what product type, quantity, and the status(pulled, sold, received, other) is. I know a lot of people think of this as something to record video for fun and other non-commercial tasks...but - this will be fantastic for commercial applications.

Current vendors charge an arm and a leg for any type of HUD tech, and usually insist they do the application development for you for their closed systems. With Glass we get to use a web API to develop our own applications - this is very appealing to myself and people in my industry(inventory management, warehousing).

The downside...I predict many forklift races with POV videos =P

Give an experienced marketing partner and interest in the net profit. That way you aren't losing any more cash than you generate. If your product is viable, there should be no shortages of these types of people.

Look at your friends first, do you have anyone in marketing? Do you know anyone who has succesfully self-promoted a mobile app or web service? You might know the right person already, or at least know someone who can point you to that person.

Shop your idea around, and make sure you get an NDA to prevent someone stealing your concept.

Imagine you were cashing out your 401k during the 'accidental' crash last year. One second stuff is at 1000, the next it's at 300.

I could be mis-reading your comment...but if you are worried about Joe Average selling off his shares in stock FOO while they are at 1000 a share, and the trade executing moments later when it drops to 300 a share..that's impossible unless Joe Average is very foolish.

When you execute any trade involving significant cash, you use limit orders to protect yourself against exactly that. If stock FOO is $5.50 a share and I want to sell 1000 shares, I place a limit order to sell at $5.50. This means if there is a bid for 7 shares at $5.55, $5.53 or anything $5.50 or greater I will sell at *that* price. But no shares will be sold below $5.50, that portion of my order will remain 'unfulfilled'.

If I mis-read what you meant in your comment...my apologies ahead of time. Otherwise I hope that sheds some light on how trading happens between the orders being placed and the securities changing hands.

Have you ever tried to put something in the mainstream deb repository? There is a cut and dry process, but it's not short nor sweet if you aren't already a maintainer. This isn't a knock to debian, I like the guidelines. It should be noted you just don't "throw things" into their official repos though.

Check the mp3 URL's on TFA. Jury tainting is a bullshit excuse. They know damn well if the public knew the facts about what was going on in our courtroom[we pay for]: we would be outside with pitchforks and torches waiting to lynch the plaintiff.

It's a horrible attempt at keeping the taxpayers in the dark about this whole ordeal.

No, you're wrong. I just moved back from Alaska. The hunting and fishing is perceived as great because the movies paint it that way - it's just *different* game, not more or less of it.

Reasons NOT to raise your family in Alaska:

1) At rush hour, you're stopped at a red light, and you notice 10 drunk/unconious/vomit-covered natives laying on the sidewalk, surrounded by bodily waste and empty whiskey bottles. You realize they make MORE money than you, for doing absolutely nothing.

2) You may have hit a deer in your car, and you might have even got it fixed. Not only do moose kill your car on impact, they usually kill you too.

3) Moose everywhere in the cities, and they are very territorial. So much that the primary animal-related cause of death in Alaska is - you guessed it - moose stomping your guts out.

4) Minus 80 degrees in the winter, and 100-105 degrees in the summer with humidity to boot! (everywhere BUT Anchorage and the SE area below it)

5) High prices! $5.00 + a gallon gas, $5-10 per pound of apples, and similar prices for all vegetables/fruit. Why? Because it's all imported.

6) It's DARK in the winter. Ever heard of SAD? It's epidemic - the state recommends you leave your x-mas lights up year round to help combat this.

The list could go on...and on...and on... Until you've lived there, you will only have a romantic notion of the place that is sold to you by the television and movies. It's not real!
