You are looking at only one type of violence, murder, and then assuming that murder rates are affected by guns. Then you turn around and say that one country is possibly just naturally more violent than another and it has nothing to do with

They sure are apples to apples. Violent crime in the US vs violent crime in the UK. These are not clearly deceptive statistics. Murder is not the only kind of violent crime. Allowing people to protect themselves is a great deterrent again

No, I think he is just saying it doesn't make sense to start taking away guns from everyone because of this. It is not logical. 32,367 died in automobile accidents in the US in 2011, but no one is trying to take away your car. If the Newto

"England has a complete ban on guns. No UK citizen can carry a gun. Period. Not a one. Result? UK violent crime rate is 3 1/3 times higher than America. The FBI reports 386 violent crimes per 100,000 in the USA. The UK Home Office reports 1

Yea, people see what they are interested in. At the same time, I am really stoked by what I am learning as the Ruby Community "remembers" classic OO design. Here are a few recent examples hinting that the Ruby community is moving on from "

I updated my comment to communicate better what I was asking. I do fully support this kind of research. I am interested in the technological directions and discoveries for society that this research is expected to provide. It seems odd t

I understand (somewhat) and agree fully with the value of this research. (Great specifics by the way.) I am hearing from you that we have no idea what we will discover, but it could be anything and likely something really cool. The question

From the video around :30 seconds in, "...this is when surprises might happen. Any day could be the day that changed the world." I am still looking for an answer as to how the world could be changed by the discovery of the Higgs Boson part

True, but this isn't where you are going to store your credit card information. My guess is that this is a defense against those who want to control the Internet through legislation. Imagine a world where SOPA had passed, and everyone who

The genius of this is the realization that browsers do not send the named anchor (technically "fragment identifier"[1]) to the server. Using the named anchor as the cryptographic key enables users to pass around simple URLs to encrypted da

When I tutor beginners in Rails, I always make them walk through this tutorial first. Step by step. Without using copy & paste. I really like tutoring and I am more than happy to help folks who want to build the next big thing. Howeve

Modafinil is also compared to amphetamines (which are often used either for recreation or to treat ADHD), since its effect is somewhat similar. Generally, the comparison states that amphetamines are bad for you and that Modafi

Original post is cool, but has only 6 color schemes. I really like how your site generates a bootstrap color theme from an image of your choice.. works very well.

Not quite a several hundred. Page two of the grand jury indictment linked from original post says, "...reported income in excess of $175,000,000." Still a very large figure.

Instead of being confused by the different colored bars, it caught my interest because I didn't see any legend explaining it. After about 15 seconds of studying it, I deduced that what it must mean because of the blue text color of "beginne

Even if it is a wash, and the costs of things end up being the same, the real issue is the question of who should be spending the money you earn. Should the government be allowed to forcibly take your earnings away to pay for your kids coll
