That is incorrect. Personal ownership of both semi-automatic and automatic weapons is perfectly legal in the United States, provided that the proper licenses are obtained and the proper taxes are paid. It's mostly a question of doing the paperwork and paying the money. The same thing goes for suppressors. A private citizen can buy and fit a suppressor onto a firearm legally as long as he has done the paperwork and paid the taxes.
I should further qualify this by saying that this only applies to automatic weapons that were manufactured and legally registered before 1986. The Firearm Owners Protection Act of 1986 had a clause inserted in the last hour that banned the possession or sale of machine guns manufactured after May of 1986 to civilians.
This is true, but it's akin to the media's often intentional misuse or misleading use of the terms "automatic" and "semi-automatic". One of them has been illegal since the 1930s, the other describes just about every sort of firearm sold today beyond a few common exceptions.

The argument is that the regulations would reduce the body count at the end of the day.
Please provide compelling evidence that this would be true. Your personal pinion does not count as evidence either.
Many router exploits use a web browser exploit to attempt default passwords on routers from the LAN side. This exploit is another way into a router from the WAN through a user PC
From all appearances though this would require not only a web browser exploit but also remote code execution on a PC inside the LAN. At that point they are already quite a ways down the road to fscked anyway.
This is the reason that indie music, games and movies can often break through and become a runaway success.
They can, but I'm not sure I'd say often.
For an interesting look into indie game development, take a look at the film Indie Game. It is quite revealing
I've actually had conversations with people about their daily graphs, which clearly show huge profits from new players within the first 10 minutes of play, followed by no profit thereafter. When I've pointed out what those graphs indicate, by and large the response was always "but the analytics says these people are all in the 30-40 year old age range, so we aren't exploiting children in the way you're suggesting".
If you have verifiable data available that shows this I would love to see it.
Boeing was hemmoraging(sic) cash up until recently, and this switchover may save them a lot of money at the cost of some run-up problems.
Does the cost of those run-up problems remind anyone else of this little bit of dialog?
Hoban 'Wash' Washburn: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.

I have a friend who is a retired newspaper journalist. I wonder if I could interest him in devising some guidelines for ShashDot postings that even amateurs could apply with some improvement to the quality of their posts. Anyone enthusiastic about this?
This will remain irrelevant until the editors do some editing rather than accepting article submissions that are no more than the output of a script that scrapes an RSS feed.
tl;dr: security by obscurity is a bad thing!
Maybe that's why this is an article about steganography rather than security?
Where can you buy a decent RPN device today?
You buy an older HP calculator on eBay of course.
You think you can "educate" people, best of luck to you, but you just want to interest people to something they do not want to care about, full stop.
As the old saying goes, Never try to teach a pig to sing. It just wastes your time and annoys the pig.
Could some astute lawyer (IANAL) produce a standard boilerplate response form and offer it for a nominal fee?
