How do you feel about Gun Control and what is your stance on it?
How about a history lesson?





In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.





China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981,100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Cambodia established gun control in 1956. From 1975 to 1977, one million 'educated' people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.





Defenseless people rounded up and terminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million.





It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australian taxpayers more than $500 million. The first year results are now in:





Australia-wide, homicides are up 32 percent.





Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent, and armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!





In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned their guns in the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!





While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.





There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.





You won't see this data on the U.S. evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adver sely a ffect only the law-abiding citizens.





Take note my fellow Americans, before it's too late!





The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.





With guns, we are 'citizens' - Without them, we are 'subjects'. During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED!

Reply:I think gun control is a bunch of BS.





Guns are hot!
Reply:I agree that a citizen has the right to own firearms, but it should be regulated so criminals are unable to purchase them. I also believe that there should be a restriction on the type of armaments that are available to the public, such as armor piercing bullets.
Reply:gun control is the first step towards abolishing the constitution....an armed citizenry is the governments biggest obstacle it total dominance of its citizens....I propose we set aside one Saturday a year and call it 2nd amendment appreciation day...on that day, all gun owners devote the whole day to target practice, gun safety and so on....the spectacle of millions of people out practicing with their guns would have to bring a chill to the anti gunners in congress....one more note....they might legislate gun confiscation someday...but that will be the day they will turn me into an outlaw.....I will NEVER give them up!!
Reply:I think that every man, woman, child, in all the world should possess for use a liberal variety of weapons and ammunition. If it was up to me, I would issue guns to new born infants and death row inmates, guns and ammunition. If I could I would give every man, woman, child from Adam to the last of mankind a personal big boom button connected to a 1000 megaton nuclear bomb and say, happy new year and good by. I am liberal indeed.
Reply:Guns don't kill people. People kill people: period!
Reply:I am in favor of all gun control necessary to ensure the bullet leaving the chamber is delivered without delay to the criminal's head.
Reply:#10 is the only gun control AMerica needs. As some have so astutely observed we have more laws than is needed, what we need is enforcement.





Congress needs to stop playing with the Constitution and start funding enforcement of our current laws. Illegal aliens, criminals, and on and on and on.
Reply:Amen brother, Here's more 4 you%26gt;





The 2nd Amendment holds all others in place!





Gun control=Hitting your target!





"FROM MY COLD DEAD FINGERS"





Seriously we need to teach these truths to our children, so that the fed of the future cannot rape them either!!





As a Gun owner, let me say thank you for your question!


you are not alone we are still here fighting to keep the Bill of Rights strong!!





Big Dave: We already have laws to prevent criminals from obtaining guns, they are poorly enforced, so new laws will not help!!!
Reply:Unfortunately, it does not matter how many laws you pass to control gun ownership - criminal will still get them.








Should we control automobile ownership too - more people are killed by autos than guns!





As has been said many many times before - Guns don't kill people, people kill people.





Education on guns is more important than control.
Reply:I am considered a liberal and am against gun control. I believe we have and need the right to bear arms, I also believe if more states allowed concealed carry it would reduce crime since the criminals would not know who is packing.
Reply:Gun control has killed millions.


Civilian gun ownership is the "canary in the coal mine" of a government run by it's people.


A government that doesn't trust it's people with guns is a government that's not to be trusted by it's people.
Reply:I own two guns,....an S%26amp;W 9MM and a .357 Magnum snub nose. I am so against the government telling me how I can protect myself and my family. Where I live, home invasions are very popular, especially in the daytime. When perfect strangers start pounding on your door, you look out the window, and it's a couple of punks, saying they have a package for you. Through the window I told them to go away, I wasn't interested. After a number of times this happening, I knew I had to do something. Here in my state you can get 5 to 15 for carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. I decided it was in my best interest to take the appropriate classes, and get the license/permit, to protect my a**, and my family, on so many levels. What's interesting, is that once you get a permit, one realizes the serious responsbilities that go along with that. Folks with permits know exactly what I am talking about. I am s-o-o-o against gun control. I'll do what I need to do, to protect my loved ones.
Reply:I just read the first few on your list and you seem to have a good idea of gun control. I have one better, without gun control I wouldn't be able to hit a target at 300 yards so I have excellent gun control, thank you.
Reply:I think every American should own a bazooka and a rocket launcher.
Reply:Gun control is knee-jerk reaction by politicians to unfortunate and tragic events (Columbine, Va Tech). No intelligent person can honestly believe that stricter control on firearms is going to do ANYTHING to curb gun related crime. Trust me intellectually dishonest people, if a someone wants a gun to commit a crime with, there is no law on earth that could stop them.





It drives me crazy that these people shout from the rooftops...."these crimes would not have been possible if we had better gun control laws" They honestly don't believe that themselves, they think the rest of us are idiots and would be frightened by their scare tactics. Its also obvious that some people really are so uneducated that they actually buy that load of crap.





Enforce the laws currently on the books..literally hundreds, and let law abiding citizens exercise their second amendment right......."the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."





Last time I checked....marijuana, heroin, and cocaine are illegal, and we see how well those controls are working don't we.
Reply:I own 1 rifle, 1 shotgun, and 1 handgun.
Reply:I am totally against “gun control.” That's where they make it so that only criminals can have guns and law abiding citizens cannot have a gun to protect themselves.
Reply:I do not own a gun, but I will fight to the death to keep our 2nd amendment right.
Reply:I always did wish that Charlton Heston could have been my grandpa......
Reply:Glad to see you are getting your political views from sound-bite-sized slogans. Wouldn't want to try and use research material deeper than a bumper sticker, would we?

Internet question?

I was asked to answer the following annoyed question:


--------------------------------------...


Match the following to one or more layers of the OSI model:


a. Route determination


b. Flow control


c. Interface to transmission media


d. Provides access for the end user





e Communicates directly with user’s application program


f error correction and retransmission.


g Mechanical. electrical. and functional interface


h Responsibility for carrying frames between adjacent nodes


--------------------------------------...


can anybody help?





thanks a lot

Internet question?
Well, D matches E, B matches F, A matches H, C matches G





A: Route determination is responsible for carrying frames between adjacent nodes. Frames is packets of data and the route determines which node the data is sent and retrieved to/from.





B: Flow control includes error correction and retransmission as needed.





C: Interface to transmission media is mechanical, electrical and functional interfaces.





D and E are a bit confusing, because they fit together with all of the others at one point or another. I put them together at the top, only because they both do the same thing, theoretically speaking.





All of the others provides access for the end user *and* communicates directly with user's applications and programs.





If even one of the others fails, then access to the end user and communication for programs and applications fails. This must be a trick question. lol





Good luck and much success with your course or whatever it is you are working on, please have a nice day.


How to re-set P.C back in time to recover lost files?

Hi...I was using an interfaced program. I made some changes re-setting it back to default options as the manual changes I made seemed to have made it run too slow. On re-start for the changes to take effect, I have lost a huge amount of data. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN RE-SET MY P.C TO SEVERAL HOURS BEFORE SO I CAN GET MY DATA BACK?

How to re-set P.C back in time to recover lost files?
Using system restore will not bring your files back. It only resets the operating system files and settings back to where they were at a given "restore point".





If all you did is change a program back to its default settings (I have no idea what an interfaced program is) it shouldn't have deleted any of your data.





What may have happened is the folder you saved your data to originally is not the "default" folder for the application, so when you try to open a file it is not in the "default" folder. But it should still be in the original location you saved it to.





Do this: Open Windows Explorer and go to My Computer. Now click on the Search button at the top of the window and select "All Files and Folders".





Enter the name of a file you can no longer find in the first box on the left (a partial name will do). Also, make sure that "Search Subfolders" is checked in Advanced Options. Click on the Search button at the bottom and let the computer look for your file. If it finds it, the rest of your stuff should be there as well.





If it doesn't you data is probably gone and about the only thing you could do then is use a third-party program like Get Data Back to look on the hard drive for the erased files.
Reply:If you are using WIndows XP, you can use system restore(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306084), but it will not restore data (ie, files in "My Documents)





If you deleted the files, look in the recycle bin, they could be still there (http://www.easeus.com/resource/recover-d...
Reply:i would run a recovery application asap ...
Reply:Please explain what you mean by interfaced program.


What program, exactly, do you mean? Then maybe we can help. It is really bad to lose data. I feel your pain.


In microsoft visual c++ , how can i hide private members of a class in a static link library?

i wrote a static link library in two files : code.cpp and header.h , header.h includes the interface of a class named Class1 , which have private members and public members , and code.cpp includes the implementation of that class , i dont want the programmer who uses the static link library to see the private members decleration of the class (Class1) , if i give header.h to the programmer he will know the declaration of the private members , and if i exclude the private members of his copy of header.h , it class (Class1) will not work.

In microsoft visual c++ , how can i hide private members of a class in a static link library?
One way to do it is to make Class1 call some other class for all actual implementation. So you make a new class, Class1Impl, which does all the real work. Class1 has a pointer to Class1Impl, and all of the member functions of Class1 call the appropriate member function of Class1Impl. You don't need to give out the header for Class1Impl as it can just be predeclared at the top of the Class1 declaration.


Ex:


//class1.h


class Class1Impl;





class Class1


{


private:


Class1Impl* m_pImpl;





public:


Class1();


void DoStuff();


};





//Class1.cpp


#include "Class1.h"


#include "Class1Impl.h"





Class1::Class1()


{


m_pImpl = new Class1Impl;


}





void Class1::DoStuff()


{


m_pImpl-%26gt;DoStuff();


}





//class1impl.h


//hidden, never give this source out


class Class1Impl


{


private:


long m_lHiddenVal;


public:


void DoStuff() { printf("Woo! %d", m_lHiddenVal); }


};


I want to replace my C:drive with a bigger one, without starting over...?

Although i do not want to reinstall all my apps, etc. Can i plug my new drive into my computer (via external usb hd interface), cut and paste all the data over to the new drive. Then pull out my old one and replace it with the drive i just copied all my data onto? I have a feeling this won't work.





Anyone, Anyone?

I want to replace my C:drive with a bigger one, without starting over...?
Norton Ghost can do it
Reply:What you described will not work. Once you install Windows on the new drive you will need to re-install all the applications you have on the old disk, because all applications write files into the registry and maybe into the Windows folder. These files will have to be placed there via the installer and not by just dragging files into location.





What I suggest is you add a large drive with a USB connection, move your data to the new drive if you have data on the old drive and leave the old drive for OS and applications only. I am not sure if you use Outlook for email which tends to store the email on the system drive which is your old drive in this case, so moving the mail folders to the new drive will free up a significant space.
Reply:What you need to do is load your operating system (probably Windows XP) onto the new drive. First you will need to place the new drive into your machine as the primary drive by making sure the jumper is in the correct configuration. Next, hook up the old drive as a slave (change jumper to get this). Most computers have capacity for two drives. After you install the operating system on the new drive, you can access all of the files on the old drive and copy them over or just leave the old drive in place to act as additional storage. I have one computer that I have set up this way, and it works just fine.
Reply:That generally does not work. A lot of programs install needed files in the windows directory and into your registry. You will need to re-install most if not all of your programs.
Reply:you dont have to - you can add a drive right along with it - like i got 3 harddrives in mine

Graduated as Chemical Engineer - but for the last 5years I was in IT - can I get back to engineering ?

Five years ago I graduated with top class CGPA as a Chemical Engineer. Then due to twist and turn of my fated destiny , I end up programming hardware software interfacing applications - I always had passion for programming ( Assembly language and C ) - once even attempted to hack campus UNIX server.





Due to some catastrophe - things did not turn out well for my company thus it migrated - now I am jobless , I cant get any IT jobs since I don't have any paper qualification in IT - But I have a B.Eng which I got 5 years a go.





I want to turn my profession back to Engineering career - is this possible because there is a five years gap after graduating. ( I have no working experience in chemical engineer ) - kindly can anyone knowledgeable in this mater advice me on how can I get back to my career.





My Chemical engineering degree , I got it with Honor's and distinctions as a deans list merit. I also have no working experience in that field in my life.

Graduated as Chemical Engineer - but for the last 5years I was in IT - can I get back to engineering ?
First investigate if there have been any radical new developments in chemical engineering to determine whether your knowledge is sufficiently current. If there has been, you might consider taking some courses to catch up. You may even consider getting a masters degree in the field. However, if this is not feasible or is unnecessary, there is nothing wrong with sending your resume to appropriate companies. You may have to start at a level of a new graduate. Your resume should show your work experience, although it should probably not dwell heavily on too much detail of the past five years. Having a responsible position for the past years is in your favor.

How one can Shutdown a remote system through shutdown command of msdos in windowXP?

I can use this command to shutdown my own system but can not perform remote shutdown even i log with admin.I have 10 system on LAN Network and i know IP address of each and every node , I did not Want shutdown system through software.


Here is the Help to


Syntax


Usage: shutdown [-i | -l | -s | -r | -a] [-f] [-m \\computername] [-t xx] [-c "comment"] [-d up:xx:yy]





No args Display this message (same as -?)


-i Display GUI interface, must be the first option


-l Log off (cannot be used with -m option)


-s Shutdown the computer


-r Shutdown and restart the computer


-a Abort a system shutdown


-m \\computername Remote computer to shutdown/restart/abort


-t xx Set timeout for shutdown to xx seconds


-c "comment" Shutdown comment (maximum of 127 characters)


-f Forces running applications to close without warning


-d [u] [p]:xx:yy The reason code for the shutdown


u is the user code


p is a planned shutdown code


xx is the major reason code (positive integer less than 256)

How one can Shutdown a remote system through shutdown command of msdos in windowXP?
To get connected to the other machines with an authenticated connection to execute the shutdown, do the following:


1) Open an command prompt ("DOS" Window)


2) Type "net use \\%26lt;ip or hostname%26gt;\ipc$ /user:%26lt;administrator%26gt;" and enter the password for that system, when prompted.


3) Then execute "shutdown -l -s -m \\%26lt;ip or hostname%26gt; -t 1" if you're shutting it down and don't care who's on it...





All of this could be put into a script and run. You could execute the net use statements to connect to all of the computers at one time and then run the shutdown script on each afterwards. Of course, you'll have to pass your password to the script, which isn't a secure way to do it unless you do something like set it as a command line variable... Many possibilities there.





Good luck,


WG
Reply:When you state that you are an admin, do you mean that this is a domain, or that you have an admin account set up on each workstation.





Within a domain, you should be able to execute the command as long as the policy settings allow remote execution.





If a workgoup environment, as well as the machine policy allowing the remote execution, you will also need to authenticate against the machine with your local account details on that machine prior to executing the command.
