That's intentional by the part of the NRA. They even lobbied to eliminate the CDC (part of it was defunded) because they found a link between homicides and gun ownership in their research.

Actually, there isn't evidence because the CDC isn't allowed to collect data on that anymore thanks to heavy lobbying from the NRA. When they did find a link between guns and gun injuries in the home, their funding was removed.

Also people might be encouraged to murder authors of best selling novels to get their books for free

That's a common misconception. Obfuscation can provide security is the attacker doesn't have the means to de-obfuscate, isn't smart enough to find it, or doesn't have the time/resources to get it. You shouldn't be fooled into thinking you're fully secure, but that's kind of a moot point when talking about WiFi passwords when the attacker has physical access

You seemed to have missed the point of the parent post. It may not be 100% secure, but it's an extra hurdle someone must go through to get the password. It's not just opening a text file in gedit. The alternative to full security doesn't have to be no security.

Suggesting people use off site backups is a bad thing now?

Presumably there are lots of non-lego parts. I really doubt he could build an air tank out of legos. I am a little interested in if lots of smaller components could be used to make it smoother or if that would cause other pressure issues. Obviously it would be more parts that could break, but it might have benefits.

True, that does happen with many consumer products - when a new version is going to be cheaper soon, they'll hold off on purchasing.

That's really irrelevant though as the discussion was if "deflation would be good for a while". With deflation, it's difficult to get people to spend money because the "something valuable" will be cheaper if they buy it later. Keeping the inflation rate at around 0 is a viable alternative.

Deflation causes people to hoard their money because it's basically an investment to keep it. That's not something that helps the economy (need them to spend money). Of course the poor are exempt from all that.

The US Government sold all of its GM stock.

My TV (2010 Samsung) has the episode guide and schedule of the channels, but the software is glitchy and the UI get really slow the more it's used (until the TV is rebooted).

But illegal handguns were at one time legal.

People thinking about public opinion and their legacy?

But illegal handguns don't magically appear out of thin air...
