And walking around with it gets you arrested and held for psychiatric evaluation. Why bother when your phone can already do this? Seriously, does anyone want to look more like a geek?

Excuse me ma'am but you seem to be lost. You are currently in Slashdot. If you're looking for Facebook, it's down the hall and the third door on your left.
Hey come on, stand down..
This the first article in a LONG TIME that actually FEELS like Slashdot...
No politics... no script kiddie bullshit.. not a random person's blog post.. Just fun hacking for no good reason other than to do it. That's why most of us are here!
Why, exactly, are you on a site with the motto "news for nerds"?
Seriously, why would people whine about this? It's a cute little hack, and people are... ahem, up in arms over it. Live a little. Laugh a little. Stop trying to be "grown up". Are you 16 or something, and trying to appear older? Trust me, when you get older, you'll have enough of that in your life. Things like this will make you smile, even if you personally don't wish to make it.

If it doesn't get you shot outright.

But what about the 2nd Amendment?
The right to bear arms includes swords as well as guns. Swords were more common when the constitution was written.

Doesn't mean you can carry it drawn. There is a huge difference between waving a drawn sword around and having a large knife in your belt.
Still, I guess the safest is to avoid doing it, especially while being black.

Yes, this. This is more like the Slashdot of 1999, when turning stuffed animals into USB ports with creepy glowing LED eyes was something people did.

Stop trying to tell others how "adult" you are.

One does not simply walk around in public with a glowing pointy object.
That's actually Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer's other attribute, when he gets horny.
