You are showing your ignorance of firearms. A large number of semi-automatic weapon models are perfectly legitimate hunting weapons.
Furthermore, there is no such class as a "sprayfire" weapon, and the weapons you use as examples, the MAC-10 and Uzi have been illegal to possess without state and Federal permits for decades.
Gateway doesn't really survive, as a company it collapsed and the remnants were bought by MPC Corp and went that went over what was left was bought by Acer.
At the end, Gateway was worth a bit under half of its worth at the IPO in 1993.
I had a game of domination in CoD MW go from us being 185 to 0 to losing because people started telling ghost stories over voice chat and we got distracted.
I always throw radioactive decay at them. "Do you believe in Radon gas?" If yes, then "Radon gas, Rn-222 is a byproduct of Uranium decay and it takes a hair under 4.5 billion years for it to occur."
True about life support and avionics, so I guess Buran 1.01 was a successful test of an unmanned shuttle's launch, orbit, deorbit and landing capabilities by remote control.
But as a fully functional shuttle, testing heat exchange, life support systems, manual flight avionics and software, not to mention things like opening the cargo bay and moving things in and out, it wasn't ever tested.
Buran was not intended for a short hop and immediate deorbit and landing.
The second flight for 1.01 was scheduled for 1993 and would have been a 15 to 20 day flight, shuttle 2.01 was scheduled for a 24 hour flight in 1994, so even had the Soviet Union stayed together the time table on Buran was slipping mightily.
I really find it hard to agree that having a short flight with two major subsystems not installed shows that the Buran was a successful design.
Buran flew once with two orbits, even if the American Shuttle program had only one launch, STS-1 it would be considered much more successful.
Buran 1.01 - 2 orbits, 3 hours and 26 minutes - no life support, no on board software STS-1 - 37 orbits, 2 days, 6 hours and 21 minutes - 2 crew, full life support, full software, manual landing
The Royal Navy carrier(s) will operate the F-35C, at least thats the plan.
Theres no naval version of Typhoon planned, I suppose if F-35 continues to have development problems, the Royal navy could go to F-18 E/F or Dassault Rafale, the only other western carrier based strike fighters in production.
Right now there are only two naval strike fighters in production, Super Hornet, Rafale with three in the near future, F-35C, MiG-29K and Su-33. But the Russians are up in the air on if they are getting the MiG-29K or Su-33 to replace the Su-27K
The US was out of Vietnam, Congress had stopped funding the South Vietnamese military in the fall of '74, so how exactly is the Fall of Saigon Ford's fault?
You know that Gerald Ford had a naval career right? He lead a fire control team that saved the escort carrier USS Monterey.
Ford, Carter and George H.W. Bush all had naval careers, both Ford and Bush were on carriers and have carriers named for them, Carter was in the submarine service and has a submarine named for him.
"Civilian", you do know that police are civilians too right?
A civilian under international humanitarian law is a person who is not a member their country's armed forces or other militia or militant organization.
Police are not an armed force, militia or militant organization. Misuse of "civilian" by law enforcement agencies is one of the things that leads to the "us vs them" attitude prevalent since police forces started going paramilitary in the 1970s.
Seattle PD has it's problems, going both ways, but Portland, Eugene, Oakland and of course every agency in the LA Basin have a documented history of erring on the side of shoot first and ask questions later.
Hey, Tombstone's civilian review board found Wyatt Earp not guilty of stagecoach robbery, but the Earps did have to leave town after the OK Corral fallout.

Firearms like a 9mm, 45 caliber, .38, take more than one round to stop a human sized target.
Now I live in Alaska where a 9mm or .45 will take an entire magazine to stop a pissed off moose or bear.

We lost 190 to 200.
Fracking ghost stories.
I always throw radioactive decay at them. "Do you believe in Radon gas?" If yes, then "Radon gas, Rn-222 is a byproduct of Uranium decay and it takes a hair under 4.5 billion years for it to occur."
Ghost investigations? Nothing else in the queue for the front page today?
Dear Slashdot, I have family and friends that believe the Earth is 6,600 years old, what tools do I need to prove them right?
You didn't include the important part of the link. All the stuff about how its the fault of the Jews.
I actually have a replacement tile from Buran 1.01.
The Soviets made about 2.3 million extra tiles for the program and an import/export company sold them in the late 90s.
It's a black coated one, front left lower quarter of the space ship.

Soyuz had a 1 in 15 failure rate.
So of the two programs that had loss of life, Soyuz and Shuttle, Shuttle was safer.
Do you consider Soyuz to also be a terrible program?

Jimmy Carter left the navy as a Lieutenant, he didn't command a submarine but was part of the nuclear engineering department of USS Seawolf SSN-575

A lot fewer moving parts and better control over the stroke energy
Looks like they've done over 220 test fires of this already in 2010

The difference is, if Bob beats up a cop or shoots him, he is looking at decades in prison or life without parole.
If a cop shoots Bob, he is looking at some paid administrative leave.
Do you see the difference?

I don't live in Las Vegas Nevada so I can't really apply for that gig.
