Yahoo said the gun has 3000 kilojoules (3,000,000) joules of energy per shot! This article actually seems accurate, thanks Slashdot I was curious about the actual energy generated by the gun. 1800 joules seems very reasonable

Wrong, it doesn't ever "cross the line", free citizens must always have the ability to be sufficiently armed and equipped with the latest in INDIVIDUAL weapons technology to protect against tyranny. It doesn't matter if the year is 1800 with flintlock muskets, the year 2015, with modern semi-automatic rifles and handguns, or the year 2500, with directed energy weapons and god knows what other technology will be available in that time frame. Protection against tyranny doesn't ever cross the line, no matter what year it is.

Don't fight the natural course of technology, ebooks will soon take over physical books, just like robots will take over humans in menial labor tasks in the next 25 years.

Game went downhill after Wrath of the Lich King, it is now but a shadow of its former self.

It only lasted for a picosecond...

Doesn't matter what some BS law says regarding drones over private property, you are well within your rights to shoot the drone out of the sky if it is invading your privacy and on your property. In this instance, the man acted appropriately and used birdshot to knock it out of the sky. This man is being illegally charged for a nonexistent crime, I smell a major lawsuit in the making against the asshats who ILLEGALLY CHARGED HIM.

Alcohol and cigarettes have health warnings on them and people still buy these products. To think that most people know the differences between artificial sweeteners like sucralose and aspartame, and to believe that most people will not buy a product due to a belief that a particular sweetener is more harmful than another, is absolutely ludicrous.

My school district has about 5000 students give or take and currently issues iPads to all middle and high school students. The students use their Ipads for virtually all assignments and this is achieved through an app called notability, this works in conjunction with another app called iTunes U which organizes assignments and courses. This program seems to be successful when deployed on a small scale as seen in my school district. However, successfully enacting this program on a scale the size of L.A could prove extremely difficult to say the least.

Did this guy not realize that winning the lottery while being the security director of the lottery association would be extremely suspicious to begin with? There would be an investigation, even if there was no evidence of wrongdoing. This guy's plan was flawed from the start.

What is the purpose of engaging in pointless speculation like this? This becomes a story when extraterrestrial life is actually discovered.

There are lots of disturbing things out there on the Internet. I'm not sure why an app that appeals to mostly college kids who spew random comments and overall trash on it, is being targeted instead of other awful material on the Internet.
