Quote from Shotglass :actually nyc is a great example
no guns which according to you are a womans only line of defense and the 3rd lowest rate of rape in major us cities http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U ... ates_cities_by_crime_rate
and about half of the rapes per capita of austin which between you living there and on account of it being in texas i presum allows women to carry guns

Well, Virginia Beach, Virginia has a forcible rape rate of 13.5 out of 100,000 people, whereas New York City, New York has a rate of 13.3 out of 100,000 people. That is only a difference of two people out of 1 million unless my math is terrible. You can open carry a gun in the state of Virginia.

Virginia Beach has a robbery rate of 93.0 out of 100,000. NYC: 240.8 out of 100,000. What would one who claims that gun control affects crime rate claim based on that information? That gun control reduces rape but increases robbery? I would personally not argue that, as there are many other factors that could affect the rate of either crime.

One thing that I believe those who use crime rates to argue either for or against gun control fail to take into account is population density. It would seem very plausible that crimes such as robbery may be more prevalent in areas of high population density, as they may go unnoticed more easily. And many forcible rape victims are not random individuals on the street that are pulled into free-candy-vans and raped. Thus population density would not seem to have as much of an affect on forcible rapes.

I hope with this post to scrutinize the arguments of both those who are in favor of open carrying and less gun control, as well as those who are in favor of more gun control. inb4 everyone from every possible side of the discussion just becomes irate with me.

I have a Pentax PZ-10 and a Holga 120n. I'm not a hipster, i just like film. Anyway, for the Pentax i have some terrible 80-200mm f/4.5 lens that I got with the camera on ebay, and a 50mm f/2 lens. Both manual, though the camera supports AF, auto zoom, auto aperture etc. I just don't see a point in spending twice as much just to have an AF lens.

Here is one of the first photos I took with the 50mm lens. I didn't expect to get a good photo at all, I was just testing out the lens. It came pretty well, it's just hard to decide what you want to focus on with such a narrow dof.

Quote from Krane :In Alabama in the 1800's it was illegal to teach a "person of color" whether a slave or a free person to read. (source). Would you call that a sensible law?

How is that relevant?

Quote from Krane :You have not disclosed your location, would you do so and describe your daily routines and I will tell all of the laws, ordinances and statutes you break each day. (That is a joke, I won't, because there would be a lot for any (who thinks they are) a law-abiding citizen.

Again, how is that relevant to the matter at hand?

Quote from flymike91 :well it brings up a question of what is worse for society: smoking a joint or being finger fked on the side of the road by the government.

How does it bring up that question? I don't understand, please elaborate.

Quote from el pibe :2)i would bitch slap the bitch on the spot, then i would find with who it was and then i would cut the othet dude's dick.

So, you would slap her and cut someone's penis, just because that penis went inside her vagina (or other orifices used for non-vaginal sexual intercourse)? I don't really understand how that is justified. What's so special about her vagina (or other orifices used for non-vaginal sexual intercourse) that only your penis is allowed inside?

Also, it's not like slapping her and cutting his dick makes your penis any more pleasurable or you any better at sex anyhow.

Oh dear, the police are distressing to people who are breaking the law. What an atrocity.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :The biggest thing would be the fact that CE is closed source. I'm sure if it wasn't, the boot process could be modified..

Windows CE is not closed source, it is shared source. Anyhow, one does not simply install CE, but you actually have to build the OS, not terribly unlike building a linux kernel. You have to either write your own board support package (BSP), or use a pre-existing BSP which includes, among other things, the bootloader. So I really do not see why you are fixating on 'the boot process' to such an extent.

Quote from dawesdust_12 :Probably not. The Pi uses a weird boot process. The GPU actually launches the boot process from the SD card.. It's weird.

Why would this affect loading windows CE if it does not affect loading linux? Either way the GPU is loading the kernel into RAM, regardless of what OS that kernel may be for, right?

Quote from flymike91 :The peak of mass murders using guns in the US was in 1929.

Well, let's see what was going on in 1929. Oh yeah, that's right: prohibition. And pretty much the peak of organized crime, particularly in Chicago.

Having proof doesn't mean telling someone about evidence, it means showing the evidence. I am not talking to anyone in specific, just anyone who seems to think that telling someone about evidence is the same thing as showing it to them. I am certain several people will think that I am attacking them, or are not on their side of some argument or something. But I am assuredly not on anyone's side in this thread.

Honestly the best solution is to get a second AP, and have your own separate wireless network.

Saw a McLaren mp4-12c, BMW E60 M5, 3 BMW E36 M3s. The M3s aren't really too cool, but the E60 is moderately cool and the mp4-12c is definitely cool. I probably saw a Bentley or Maserati today but I see so many that I don't really remember when I see them.

Quote from imthebestracerthereis :Comcast did some wiring to my house a few days ago, and now TV / phone / internet don't work.

Damn. Ask them to reduce your bill since you didn't have service for so long. Seriously i mean 3 days is roughly 1/10th of a month. Ask for 10% off

Quote from The Very End :Tried with more than a router and the results is allways the same - not any near as good as cabled.

Yes, more power usually will not help with WLAN interference/signal issues. It sounds like you may be suffering from phase cancellation. That is, the signal is being reflected, and the reflection cancels out the actual signal due to being out of phase. Increasing power will not likely help. Also, those reflections will reach the device as well. So you have the main signal, and then all of the reflections of the signal arriving way out of phase with eachother. More power means the reflections are also more powerful so this just raises the noise floor. Also, no matter how high you set the Tx power on the AP, your laptop/other devices are still going to be transmitting at the same power level so it's pointless anyway.

Do you seriously only get 24mpg in a Ford Focus? What do you do, floor it away from every stop light? lol I'm averaging 23.6mpg according to the display on my Saab right now. Sadly that's mostly highway miles. But every time I spool my turbo the instant fuel economy drops to like 15mpg. And that's without the ghetto wastegate helper spring.
