The "mob" doesn't get to decide. Thank goodness. Because that what "majority rule" is... mob rule swayed by "pop" culture and sound bites. The majority of any country are sheep.... and when the shit hits the fan.... cannon fodder.

It was removed because it was a story produced out of whole cloth by the anti-encryption politicians in Europe. And when the story was given scrutiny that was an obvious choice. "Encryption" is the next boogie man. It will be treated like "Terrorism and Child Porn" .... mean it will grant extra-constitutional powers to the government that are totally illegal... but who wants to support Child Pornographers and Terrorists?

So it was the media stunt of 70k that actually benefited the company....

As soon as they pick a piece... they will ruin it with a safety and a 13lbs trigger pull. A holster is the perfect safety. It works 100% of the time it's used. No other safety is needed. As for trigger pull. that's a crutch for lack of actual training. Muzzle and trigger discipline make a heavy trigger pull redundant. Finger outside the trigger guard until you are ready to fire. Don't point at anything you don't want to kill. It's that easy.

Why would anyone want to buy a "good" gun at a horrible price? 60% of the Kimber price tag is "brand". No thank you.

In no Math universe is 43 out of 350,000,000 frequent.

Thank you. Bullets don't speed up. This is the Hollywood physics they are talking about. Not actual. No gun has "knock down power". And police shoot center mass for several reasons. Most importantly... it's where the heart is. But also it's the most "accurate" location to aim. Least likely to over penetrate.

Everything you say makes sense. For this crime you must be destroyed.

How To Get Around the Constitution of the USA 1. Say it is Terrorism 2. Say it is Copyright Infringment 3. Say it is Child Porn

Government regulation and international treaties won't fix the problem. In fact, it is one of the causes of skepticism. What science has PROVEN is that man effects the climate in a global fashion. This isn't the part people have a problem with. What science continues to be quite sketchy on is the extent. This IS the part people have a problem with.

It's a supply and demand issue. If you match international gaps in oil production with domestic production there will be no net gain. Plus you are comparing international oil markets to domestic gas markets. There are going to be some issues with that comparison because it is not apples to apples. Particularly the sluggish lagging oil markets to the more nimble domestic gas markets. Or look at it this way... domestic gas markets are much more volatile than international oil markets. The slightest domestic issue can send gas soaring for the short term. Oil... not so much.

Whoever wrote this doesn't know much about focused kinetic energy or explosives. The only thing that defeats modern bunker busters is just more bunker. The penetration we are talking about is amazing and the energy transfer is like talking about Trillions of dollars... people have no real frame of reference. Plus... you don't always have to actually make it completely through a bunker to inflict material and personnel casualties.

Fixing, adjusting, changing hardware, firmware on owned electronic equipment is the right of the owner and shall not be waived through commercial arrangement.

There must exist in all End User License Agreements a parity of rights and privileges beyond the mere exchange of services and products for consideration.

Everyone who took Econ 101 and didn't think it was Right-Wing propaganda thought the ills of Capitalism were acceptable. Communism = Government rationed "equality". Capitalism = Market rationed "fairness". Fairness does not equal Equality

The way we in the US say "chief" or "boss" many folks in the MENA (Middle East Northern Africa) region refer to each other as the "Bash Muhandis" or "Head Engineer". Just like you refer to your friend saying "what's going on boss-man" they would say Bash Muhandis. So, being an engineer is a well respected job. Sadly, there are only so many engineering jobs. And even though your course of study may bring honor to yourself and your family, it may not bring bread to the table. So you have disaffected youth wanting to bring honor to themselves and their families. Sadly, a way to bring "honor" is being involved in a jihad/crusade against the West. The Jihad is always hiring.
