This website, (although not very official looking) says the minigun weighs 30 pounds, which sounds reasonable. That's kind of heavy to be pointing with one arm. Plus the ammo would weigh another 35 pounds. A minigun mounted on the back of a jeep would be cheaper, more ethical, faster, easier to defend, easier to aim, and easier to use. Also, what's the advantage of being able to shoot one without pulling a trigger?

So in answer to your question: No. No one at all. I wouldn't say your idea is totally without merit, but only because that would be really mean of me.

You forgot to mention the GE minigun.

Replying to myself, here is an EXCELLENT description of the Bolo.

I wrote a program a couple years ago that uses neural nets and a genetic algorithm to evolve beings. It doesn't simulate the so called abiogenesis event but intelligence is certainly evolved. Check out the Java applet: http://peberdy.addr.com/jp/projects/page.php?p=ai

The case made by Matt was that the FreeBSD architecture had been hacked with undocumented junk sprinkled throughout the source tree. A change in one area ripples through the whole tree. Matt rightly said that only one or two people really understand the internals of FreeBSD anymore. Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith both pointed this out earlier. The FreeBSD source tree is becoming more and more unmaintainable. PHK is perhaps the only person left who fully understands FreeBSD internals. Unfortunately he is considered part of the problem by many.

And the problem started when FreeBSD started chasing feature checklists trying to match Linux. This is probably the root of all the ugly hacks. In practical terms, it was Linux which was driving FreeBSD development, rather than some rational architectural plan. FreeBSD got sucked into a resource expensive "arms race" which drained the "treasury" so to speak. NetBSD stayed out of the fray, choosing instead to follow its own vision. And it has payed off nicely for NetBSD.

In any case, if there is to be a FreeBSD 6.0 someday, it will probably look like Dragonfly. I would say that future is now. Dragonfly 1.0 == FreeBSD 6.0.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but no Disney heroine has a massive rack.

Ever seen Disney's "Pocahontas"? That's Disney's idea of a family film: A love story about a 27 year old man and a girl of 11 or 12 who has a massive rack.

That's a sex dollar bill (not a typo ;)) with the face of Bill Clinton: http://www.books4you.addr.com/ClintonSexDollarBill .html

Get a grip. Where in the 1st amendment does it says that we have the right to GPS?

As I mentioned at the start, the rant wanders offtopic. I was referring to the people arrested ^W "detained" and held at Guantanamo Bay for associating with terrorists ^W^W^W "posessing vital intelligence (that magically isn't stale after 3 years)".

No, we don't have a right to GPS signals, but it's yet another example of Bush's 9/11 madness. Should Bush restrict pens and paper next, since terrorists might use them to write letters to each other? Just because terrorists would be inconvenienced doesn't mean it's a worthwhile tradeoff. In particular, killing GPS in an emergency will make the emergency worse, because civilians and emergency services use GPS to coordinate rescue attempts. Killing GPS is doing the terrorists' work for them.

Somehow I doubt that they poked their heads out of the window to see where NYC was. They probably just used the pretty screen with the blinking lights and maps in front of them.

If you think aviators rely exclusively on GPS, you're nuts. There are other navigation systems in place as a fallback, and killing all those navigational systems along with GPS will result in additional dead civilians (because of mid-air collisions, planes running out of fuel and crashing looking for an airport, etc.) on top of whatever the terrorists do.

Airplanes don't use GPS?

Nice try.

Actually, they don't. Not as their primary source of navigation atleast. For that they use VOR.

Does it work? Yes, this advertises a boost, but so do a bunch of products for cell phones that are purely decorative.

I had to sell these for a small retail store, and to this day I feel guilty. A local newstation did an expose where they found there was zero conductive material at all in these stickers.

So I take it you've never heard of the band...

Sixteen pounds is getting pretty close to the 18.75 lbs of the M60E3 machinegun.

And which one do you think kicks more ass?

Is this record industry official unaware that there are legal music download sites?

Interesting side note: I was looking at the area around my hometown of San Antonio, TX (on the Central map) and noticed a spur of the route leading to LBJ's ranch near Blanco/Johnson City Texas. These tower routes were designed to facilitate cross-country communications for the public but they also had a wartime mission--keeping the President in commo during WW3.

Last year, there was an article here about some old AT&T bunkers and towers for sale. While it would be impracticle (if not impossible) to use all of these towers for 802.11 sites, their routes across the country would come in very handy. These maps would give you a good idea of what kind of line-of-sight you could get in various regions.

While I'm at it, here is an excellent site with more AT&T long-line info links:

as a photographer, and as someone who in one way or another will try to make a living of his sense of esthetic, i've been thinking about schemes to incorporate my anarchist views with my desire to be able to, well, eat and have somewhere to sleep.

in the anarchist society (in the far off future), results of ones work (intellectual as well as manual) is available to those who want it.
today, living in a parasitic capitalist society, short of four-finger-discount it's hard to make a living if you give your work away.

so anyway, the scheme i've come up with is to copyleft work for all purposes except commercial. that is, anyone can use my images as long as i am credited and they are not making a profit in any way from using them.

but to make a living of of this, one has to charge enough to cover costs, and make an overhead.
as one poster suggested, having multiple schemes available is one solution; unlimited rights to the images, but a heap of money for the setup, or charge hefty amounts per image copy. or something else.

it's all about being pragmatic as a photographer. someone has to make it worth your wile to pack your stuff, go to a wedding, setup, shoot, eat some cake, develop, copy, deliver.
if u feel that images taken by the guests are good enough, don't hire a photographer. if u want professional photos, pay up and make sure both parties agree on the conditions.

i for one never give my negatives away, but i guess i'm coming from a different place than a wedding photographer.
if you have mainly worked with magazines (as i), you get used to being fucked over with a broom by every editor trying to get you to sign away all your rights for eternity (not kidding), for use anywhere in the universe (still not kidding - it's an actual quote), and in a situation like that i either keep my rights, or don't sign.
in a situation like that, copyright actually is the less of two evils - either restrict access to your intellectual property (sic) or become a wage slave and make it harder for others to fight for their rights (insofar as having a job preference is a right, anyway).

ranting and raving if fun fun fun!

AT&T Long Lines Places and Routes contains a list of Maps, Diagrams and Lists relating to the AT&T Long Line Bunkers.

This is not pure mathematics, as it relies on the numbers being represented in a certain base.

Number theory per se is considered part of pure mathematics, the N in NIGGERS. When my number theory book defined some basic concepts in terms of first principles, it defined "base" soon after it defined "multiplication". It roughly went like this: The base b representation of the positive integer n is a finite sequence of non-negative integers less than b such that the last element x > 0 and the sum[i = 0..n-1](x[i]*b^i) = n.

This statement about 196 and base 10 is a statement about sequences of numbers.

The article has been written with good intentions. As a sys admin/developer, I am personally more concerned about the immediate job, i.e. the issue of migration. It would be helpful to have a precise/specific checklist of things to worry about DURING the migration. Following which, a relative comparison (tabular, fairly specific) would be very helpful.

This is what I am talking about:

Since he started on Hollywood movies, Woo has put out a lot of average to mediocre movies.
Who can remember "Hard Target" (his first US movie) or "Broken Arrow" without shuddering? I know I found them painful.

No, Woo should have stuck with what he does best, gritty Hong Kong Action Theatre movies.
Movies like "Hard Boiled" or "The Killer".
Where having two handguns, slow-mo sequences and unbelievable acrobatic fighting moves is not only accepted, but expected!
Throw in some comedy (keeping the action!) in "Once a Thief", and your HKAT experience is complete.

Put Chow Yun Fat in a Woo movie, and I'm guaranteed to be in the audience! (he's in both "Hard Boiled" and "The Killer")

"The Replacement Killers" and "The Corruptor" - both excellent movies with C.Y.F. and without Woo, for people who don't like his style.

Which is to say I'd take a Playboy article like 'Virtually Gillian' as seriously as I would Newt Gingrich doing a column on the evils of divorce.

I only read the article posted at i-security, but she doesn't seem like a total Potemkin airheaded wanna-be-geek babe. Heck, she even mentions USENET, she must have half a clue.

The vitriol I see here against attractive women is dismaying, too many AC's seem to assume that if a woman is attractive, she's ignorant. I do believe there's a classical Greek term for that, the modern translation is sour grapes.

And speaking of porn babes that are clued about Linux, I recall an old Slashdot story about a female porn star who uses Linux, though I can't find the story anymore. I believe it was Asia Carrera.
