There was a recent news here about a young woman who was raped. Without going into further details the attacker had a gun, the young woman was taken in different areas and repeatedly...

Now the boyfriend saw it at the beginning of the assault and when he saw the attacker had a gun he decided to call 911 first. When he came back the attacker was gone and so is his girfriend. It's very tragic. On that situation things may be different if the boyfriend had a firearm and was properly trained to handle one.

I believe that law abiding citizens should be allowed to possesses or carry guns, but they should at least be required to attend a seminar on handling firearms..etc, and some psychological testing, background test..

Or just study martial arts :)

1) It's "viruses".

2) The reason most viruses are for Windows is simply because that's what most people use. I haven't used OpenBSD myself, but I have no doubt that I could write something to screw it up royally after some experience with the system.

Slow-drying paint? I get the purpose of the rest, but i don't get how that one is a deterrent.

This is simple. You paint it on your drainpipes and when a theif jumps on it to climb then will slip down.

Ooh is that like anti-climb paint. I hate that bloody stuff. Encountered it many times when retrieving the football from behind the local Scout Hut... as if it isn't bad enough having spiked fences...

Did they ever find the rapist?

Are you sort of suggesting that everyone or close to everyone on the street carry a gun to avoid this?

Yes, if that were the case, the situation would be different: both the boyfriend and girlfriend would likely be dead.

I agree, but with severe restrictions.

I've thought about that. It's also a possibility but since the news was pretty vague, and it didn't go into details on how far the attacker was or whether the attacker was facing behind. Just one of the many assumptions.

Did they ever find the rapist?

They didn't find the rapist yet. But they have a sketch based on eyewitness reports. And another thing is that some people heard what was going on and was too afraid to call the cops.

Not at all.

Hey Chroot, you claim I didn't have support in the thread about OpenBSD?

Don't lie, it'll come back to bite you in the ass:

he has a point, and yes i have MUCH experience with all of that. virus writers do so for fame, if someone wrote a virus for openbsd (and there ARE viruses for it, don't think there arent), they wouldn't get much publicity as few people use it. also, security and virus-proofness are two completely separate things. if you run a virus, you are giving it free access to do what it wants, that's how they work. since the only people using BSD and any unix variant are experianced with computers, theyre not going to do something stupid like that.

Who do you think you are? Castanza?

 

[franznietzsche]

Then why did he have to lie about it, and claim I had no support when it was clear I did?

Stop blindly agreeing with the admin, you look like an idiotic member of the Republicans just agreeing with someone because he has power.

WHAT THE )*&($@^(*&@$?

Are you asserting that truth is democratic? And as for agreeing i openly admit ignorance on the issue of OpenBSD viruses (i'm not even entirely clear on what OpenBSD is, i just assumed it was forum or server software or some such), all i said is that "majority rules" does not apply to truth, unless you are about 5 years old you should have the intellectual maturity to recognize this.
