Makes me wonder how it would impact these events if we just allowed assisted suicide.

But it is legal to make 30 round magazines at home... Hell, I can make a thousand round magazine if I really wanted to. I just can't sell it.

Clips refer to the bent metal piece used to hold several rounds together but are not fully enclosed. ( ex: http://www.zib-militaria.de/WebRoot/Store8/Shops/61431412/48C1/1864/62AB/9010/85F2/C0A8/28BD/B650/792.jpg ) These were commonly used in older rifles like the M1 Garand.

It's stated in the article. They assume that since some previous gun incidents have been stopped when the gunman had to reload that limiting the amount you can fire off will allow someone to be a hero and tackle the gunman.

This is my first thought. People are all up in arms about something that happened in another side of the country (and in some cases, the world) but had these events happened 15-20 years ago it would not have made the uproar that they do today. People assume they are commonplace events and some may even try to imitate those acts. It's a growing phase we, as human beings, are going through. Open communication brings good and bad things. We have to learn to self filter when geography no longer filters for us.

I'm typing this on a Nexus 10 tablet, which uses a gorilla glass capacitive screen.

These touch screens are nothing like the old pen or push driven touch screens that have a layer of visually intrusive technology to enable touch. In fact, this may be the best looking display in my house at this time. I can honestly say that for a touch added device, there's no visual impact at all.

Currently, the only cities with high speed fiber connectivity include Chenggong, Zhengzhou, and even Nova Cidade de Kilamba, in Africa.

I'm not sure how it can be tiring... there's nothing you have to do on your end. The updates automatically happen.

Technically, with most keyboards it's less... http://blog.controlspace.org/2010/08/n-key-rollover-what-it-is-and-how-to.html

You got that right... Ever try not initiating conversations on dating sites (as a male)? I've received one message over the past 5-7 years of having various profiles and I don't consider myself an ugly person or undesirable in any way. Women simply don't initiate conversations online. Just like in the "real" world men have to be the ones to stick their neck out.

Unless it's not... What if one side works part time and expects a full time lifestyle? I've met more than a fair share of couples where one person is beholden to the whims of the other's need for material goods.

Ubuntu Software Center doesn't use APT? That would be kind of dumb...

The difference between Bash and Batch is pretty significant... I grew up on Batch Scripts and when I learned Bash Scripting I was amazed at what one could do.

Why not just have a "home grown" firewall that doesn't allow communication to anything but specific controlled sites? I mean, the data has to go out of the building somewhere and they can control which destinations are acceptable. Even if the someone happened to slip in some code to "spy" on specific data it would have no way outside the network besides that firewall. Unless of course they embed some wireless communication chips in the switches, but that would require that someone in the building have a listening device.

I'd love to have a nice multi-touch (smart, so it's not detecting my elbows as touches) drafting table style computer
