A fair response and probably a good place to leave it given the limitation of the media:

There are "No easy answers".

Have good one and thank you for the conversation "dgumshu"!

Actually I don't mean training to recognize a false situation - I mean, reduce policies that tend to favor shooting early.

I know it's easy for me to say, but I would like to see police take more...

I still think that's a little too callous, but I will agree that it was decided legally as described. I'm just not convince the systems checks and balances here are sufficient (ie: they may favor...

I didn't realize stupidity, if it even was, was now a capital crime.

We're not talking he got his license taken away, we're talking he got his life taken away. Even if somehow you're right, show...

@hypnotictortoise Yeah, and if you're such a successful pro that you can afford to throw money away, you can have one of your unpaid interns spec it out at $0/hour.

Seriously though - you're going...

Seems like a cool idea fraught with more complexity than first appears. Definitely a non-trivial addition (though doable), but only a small market demand so hard to justify from an ROI...

The vanilla iMac is probably fairly cost competitive given the high quality screen. However, at $14k I would find it hard to believe you couldn't build your own Windows PC that would meet or blow...

@Impulses - no blame on anyone here, particularly the retailer(s). If anything they're the ones getting hurt by this. That said, it can be part of their business model. It's just not what I grew up...

Yep, of course. As I said:

"Broken, not as advertised, missing parts, or even I ordered wrong and didn't find out until I opened it - yes, I get that."

The normal stuff. It's just the try and buy...

Yep. Worst case if I decide it's not for me, it goes on eBay and I take the hit. My problem, not the seller's.

But if Amazon et al see this as part of their core business practice, then it is what...

"If it turned out to be really good, maybe it would find a place in my permanent camera kit. If it ended up being a dud, I had 30 days to return it for a refund."

It may be this is one of the...

Well, I think we *are* quite literally teaching ourselves to be ADHD.

They had to do a study to know that?

If you read their release, you'll note they didn't say they'd give you the option to turn the feature off. Replacing the battery is still not trivial as it requires having an Apple Care nearby and...

@photomedium Or stimulating the pockets of a chosen few at the top!

@sean The question is not whether a gun could or would save this or that innocent person. Of course they would now and then. The question is, if on balance, the presence of guns in innocent hands...

If Vox is to be trusted, in regards to suicidal people finding a different way to kill themselves, Australia found otherwise. Buying back guns was, "correlated with a 74 percent drop in firearm...

@roustabout66 I don't really want to have a hardcore gun argument because I am not as anti-gun as you probably think. Still, yes, my chance of dying from your "law abiding" (that is law abiding...

I'm not generally afraid and I don't have a Glock. Being completely honest and not even sarcastic, if I am afraid, I am far more afraid of good and generally well intentioned people who have Glocks...

Agreed (and Diazepam is Valium for those confused), however I think the ultimate point is he'd like to see the police shooting of civilians be taken a little more seriously. Something is wrong in...
