Geohashing Meets an Angry Rancher With Firearms

katicli writes "Geohashing, an obscure xkcd pastime which involves going to random coordinates generated by md5 hashing, the date, and the opening status of the stock market, appears to have just gotten far more interesting. The official wiki reports a warning for other geohashers intending to go to the spot designated for June 14th in the San Francisco area, as several avid fans of xkcd were met by an angry rancher and firearms."

No.

Most modern firearms share some lineage with models originally designed for military use. If you read the military specifications you'll see no mention of killing anything in connection with the design of the firearms itself. You will see it for the cartridge design, so you can make a case there.

This is splitting hairs and bogging ourselves down in pointless technicalities, but if we didn't enjoy doing that we wouldn't be at Slashdot in the first place.
