One reason why guns could be considered a technology we should have is that, while not completely, they let the old defend themselves against the young; the weak against the strong. People can kill other people in many different ways, guns are just a particularly accessible means, meaning that most anyone can pick up…

It probably is simply retro-reflective like a street sign or a license plate.

I suspect the station will simply issue a takedown notice and have the video removed from YouTube. Isn't that how it is supposed to work?

I figure those that don't want to, don't have to, though I suspect that as the end approaches, if quality of life were not an issue, most would want to defer the end. Just so long as those that don't want to don't then force their opinion on those that do I see no problem. As for me, I want to live for as long as I…

Ready reaction time can be in the .1s time frame. By ready, I mean you know what the stimulus is going to be and what the correct response should be and have practiced and all that is left is waiting for the event. You can measure this for yourself pretty easily with the help of a computer.

Neither. Without other context it appears to be simply a good case of demonstrating to one's kids that they earn privileges by taking care of their responsibilities.

Yep. And vegans would be all over you for using that. Nevermind what PETA would do with the DEADD065 and DEADCA75 I used to use. Maybe BADDDADD doesn't offend anyone anyone is worried about offending. Sometimes I get to thinking that people just go looking for things to be offended about.

So here is what I don't get. Apple makes a change that by all rights should be for the better but in fact breaks many of your applications and makes their presentation look like crap. And the the inference is that the problem lies with the application? It is ridiculous to give Apple a pass on this.

Every rotation detent adds or subtracts not only an hour, but also 5 minutes. The minutes hand could only be correct for one detent. How long did you think about it before asking your question?

My Galaxy Note passes your tests to my satisfaction.

The problem, here, is that we (you actually) don't understand what the word "reserves" means. I'll try to help out.

I think you may mean "covalent bonds" not "covenant bonds". #corrections

The thing about keeping the gun loaded with )) is that it is hard to explain. In any jurisdiction where your intent is going to be called into question when you drop an intruder, you don't want to be considered to have been, "lying in wait". Therefore I agree with everything you said except that I would recommend a…

Hmm. 15 decimal digits is only about an effective 54-bits of space for the pin. I don't suppose it matters much how many bits of encryption there are if you constrain your keys to a much smaller space.

If you are interested in understanding why people would die, it it would be worth reading the novel: One Second After by William Forstchen. Yes, it is fiction, but it helps illustrate how dependent we are on electronic technology and why, exactly, many people would die from an EMP.

Jonathan Ive senses an unpleasant disturbance in the force.

"... since the 1980s when scientists described mitosis, or cell division." I see you weren't paying attention in High School Biology class. The 1980's may seem like forever ago to you, but mitosis has been known about for far longer than 30 years. Well over 100, actually.

The security measures were apparently with MTGox, not the Bitcoin economic system. What seems to have occurred, here, is comparable to someone fraudulently withdrawing someone else's money from a bank account. Nothing about govt.-backed currency prevents this, just the bank's systems.

Clearly you are unfamiliar with NASCAR.

Oh boy. I live here in Austin. These people crush anything that means putting an ounce of asphalt on the ground. The commissioner for my precinct campaigned on, and directly promised, support for a road project important to traffic reduction and safety and then reversed herself when the time came for a vote.
