    Guns. Good or Bad?

    Sure. https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/docs/2016-firearms-commerce-united-states/download https://www.atf.gov/resource-center/docs/undefined/firearms-commerce-united-states-annual-statistical-update-2017/download Go nuts. But I can't tell which side of the fence you're on anymore. I...

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    Ezz is right by the way. That Crowder video contains a lot of mis-direction, and it's unfortunate that he does so in an incredibly arrogant style. [EDIT] The Vox video also has a few issues, but it is a media report, and not a statistical report. I want to make a point about gun ownership in...

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    I suspect that the suicide shouldn't be included crowd is right, but for a different reason than they think. It's quite simply not defined as homicide. Suicide by whatever means, is mostly about the availability of that means. IMO, overall rates of suicide wouldn't change even if you removed...

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    Thing about statistics is, there are always more statistics, and this report is based on statistics that are interpreted in a specific way, and so removes the bulk of gun crime from the statistics, to focus on a very small number of specific cases. It focuses on a specific kind of crime: and...

    Science and Futurism

    Hundreds of billions of them. The current estimate is there are 100 billion or so in the visible universe alone, which is either very large or very small compared with the true size of the universe - something we will likely never be able to know. Don't try to wrap your head around it too...

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    They simply do not understand why Americans seem unwilling and unable to take the steps necessary to protect their children, and instead argue and fume amongst themselves like a bunch of idiots whenever the subject comes up - which lately has been every few days. By the way. You invoked...

    I think... he didn't take your sarcasm as sarcasm. Or something like that.

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    So, don't take this wrong, it's a nice sentiment and I love it, but this is not what makes America different from the rest of the world. You could translate the words of the video into German, Spanish, French, Chinese, Arabic, Swahili...ancient Greek. It wouldn't matter, it would resonate the...

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    Just to correct something. In the first 45 days of this year, there were 30 mass shootings in the USA, defined as " four or more individuals being shot OR killed in the same general time and location." Map of incident locations...

    Guns. Good or Bad?

    Commie! Actually no. This is not something unique to communist countries. There is plenty of historical precedent for mandatory service, in all known forms of Government. The US actually never had mandatory service, but they did employ conscription on many occasions.

    Test Squadron Dev Team??

    I think it actually might be a good thing in Academics, if it's done right. It does allow, or should allow, students to explore the limits and ramifications of technology decisions before they make a big mess in, for example, my projects. Or. It is an opportunity to allow them to do that...

    Test Squadron Dev Team??

    What I said is there is nothing about NodeJS that would have made his project more successful or better that would justify a higher price for development of the same project. I'm talking about the development pricing model, not the technology. Otherwise I agree with you almost 100%.

    Is game playble now?

    What he said. Something else you can do is hit the tilde key (the one with the ~ and ` on it beside the 1 on your keyboard. Don't hold shift, you want the ` character). This opens the console so you can see what's transpiring between you and the server. As long as it says "[Lobby]...

    Test Squadron Dev Team??

    There is nothing about NodeJS that would have made your project more successful or better that would justify a higher price for development of the same project. This is the state of web development these days: price is driven by buzz-words, not tools.

    Oh. I woke up hungry this morning, then I saw that picture. Now, nothing in the fridge seems to cut it.

    Nothing wrong with MEAN stack. The Angular/NodeJS stuff is particularly useful for enterprise web apps by the way, you'll learn a lot of useful stuff.

    new crew member aboard

    Heh. I have 4 boys and 2 girls so I get both sides. They're all adults now, except the youngest is a 16 year old boy. They're impossible to feed properly but it sure is fun trying. I was born in France by the way, but I'm Canadian living in the USA, my work is for a Dutch company, in...
