News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Let's just ban anything that can hurt anyone. Legislation will solve everything.

I'm not "pro-gun", I'm pro-freedom, or pro-rights. Rights and freedoms come with sacrifices. Giving up your rights for a false sense of security is naive.

Setting aside the infringement of rights topic for a moment, focusing on the tool of destruction is never going to work. There is a much deeper, and more complex problem at work here. We need to identify and understand it. Simplified talking points for political purposes make me sick. As a nation we are smarter than this, so why does it perpetuate?

Statistics don't matter, for either side, "gun-control" isn't going to solve the problem. It isn't even part of the solution.

Think about how ridiculous it sounds to ban all cars and pressure cookers...

"Shall not be infringed..." can not be taken lightly.

Why do we keep focusing on the guns? The weapon of choice is the least important part of the entire problem.

Until the media will stop with the hype, and focus on the "why", rather than the "how", the cycle will continue.

We need to attack these types of problems with logic rather than emotion.

Hopefully Linux and Mac package management systems have this available soon. I really don't see it gaining much traction until then.

WebOS was by far the best mobile OS available. Unfortunately for all of us, it's just not going to survive. It did so many things right, not only with the UX, but for developers as well. So sad.
Re:T Mobile Rated as 3rd most hated company in 2012 on Thursday January 24, 2013 @05:37PM (#5112733)
As a former AT&T, and Verizon customer, I just needed to say that T-Mobile is by far the best carrier I've ever had. Here in SLC their 4G is very fast, their customer service is so much better than the others (they have always gone above and beyond to help me, I haven't a single bad thing to say about them), and I couldn't care less about the iPhone. If this is really true, then it is genuinely 'news' to me.
