Sometimes the "Problems" are real, other times they are found and blown out of proportion, and sometimes they are flat out generated. However, the solution is always the same.
Design it, I am sure you would make a fortune. One thing to take into account it that most job sites are muddy, due to Murphy's Law, so you would need to keep the "leg" from sinking in the ground.
Normally, in my occupation, we bring in bunches of large pallet type things to allow the the cranes to take the load off of the truck and install it where needed.
IIRC, that is exactly how the American electrical conduit system was started. During the time where gas lamps were being replaced with electric lights there was a handy pipe already in the wall in which to run the wires through.
Last time I used (five years ago) Slackware it had no dependencies tracking, no automatic updates or update manager, it lacked any utilities to automatically set up network interfaces and used LILO. Is it better now?;)
No, nope, negative, never had a problem, what's wrong with LILO?
The real question is, what's the target audience of Slackware? People who have no active social life and prefer computers to chicks?
1. Buy her a computer 2. Impregnate her. 3. Welcome baby 4. Sell computer on Ebay/Craigslist 5. Spend the rest of your life paying for medical bills, school lunches and bail bonds.
And anyone used to shooting a paintball marker is going to be in for a rude shock when a shotgun kicks them hard enough to dislocate their shoulder.
I literally lol'ed at this. You need to turn off the TV and head out to the skeet range. You will find women and children shooting these shotguns which you claim will dislocate shoulders.
While bone / joint damage can occur from shooting it usually happens with very large loads and poorly designed or lightweight rifles. Poor technique can also contribute.
OTOH it probably wouldn't be all that difficult to obtain a select fire weapon, along with other goodies, in an invasion scenario. Which reminds me that I really need to get something in 7.62x39...
Select fire is not really practical or useful in our situation. For one, it consumes an enormous amount of ammunition in a short period of time. Two, it is typically used as suppressive fire. We are not likely to have enough supplies or men to fully utilize a suppression tactic, we would be far more effective in using sniper or target of opportunity tactics.
Handguns are only to be used to fight your way back to the rifle you shouldn't have left behind. Better than nothing but should not be someones primary weapon.
I can say with confidence I would be able to inflict far greater casualties with a.308 than say a M249 or M4.
If the USA were invaded by ground tomorrow I would estimate the breakdown as follows:
50% would do nothing (submit or be killed due to inaction or being incapable of defending themselves)
15% would take up arms and fight (of these I think there is a significant group who would "bug-out" and bunker down somewhere)
35% would wait to see what others are doing and fall into one of the other groups depending on the situation
Public education in the US is not about education, the objective is to teach submission and to act as expected in your chosen profession.
Personally, I quit and got my GED after grade 10. Sure they offered "honors" classes, but these classes really just required more homework and were graded to a higher standard (read, no one gets an A). My choice was to work my ass off to make a B, take "regular" classes and make a A+ or quit and wash dishes, cook food and make some money.
Oh the horrors... CO2 for my children and their children and so on and so on...
Give it a rest.
On the other hand, maybe the OP should plant a tree to offset the CO2 which will be spewed into the atmosphere due to his/her selfish and negligent use of a spare laptop. Or better yet, pay Al Gore a few bucks.
It all depends on your perspective. Who knows, perhaps the signal SETI captures and deciphers will have the cure to AIDS as well as every other disease known to man encoded in it.
Yea, I had a conversation with a taco bell manager about how fucking gross it was that his employee was coughing and blowing his nose every 5 seconds at the register.
He basically told me he didn't care. I haven't been back.
I thought that was SOP...
Oh well, what do you expect for "meals" for under $10?
Although, you can't rule out the cashier having a case of bong cough and just snorting a fat line.

The pattern repeats itself yet again.
Problem -> Reaction -> Solution

More government.
Troll?!! I thought it was pretty funny.
I agree, screw the overpriced coffee drinks. Bring on the beer!
Well, that was a good waste of a mod point...
Mod parent up!

There, fixed that for you.

Dude, you're on Slashdot...
No way... Never... Our governement would never do such a thing...
What's that, you have documents??? Hmmmmmm, interesting...
No, our government would never do anything like that...

I don't feel that 180 feet is that far, especially when you are talking about reasonableness.
Stupid mod box...
I'm a Texan you insensitive clod.
And yes, I do carry a pistol. :D

They will probably install outlets in each seating area, but the catch is that there will be one less than the number of seats in the seating areas.
All true.

Come on mods, at least give us all an offtopic.
Wish I had some mod points.

Quit complaining you little shit, I took tests on a scantron.
