  1. Re:What's the big deal? on Facebook Wants To Block Illegal Gun Sales · · Score: 1

    In fact it was a Laserjet 4L. I might have put in a few more but the bolt was getting very sticky at that point, so I satisfied myself with some desultory bayonet thrusts and called it a day.

    Not just 5 rounds at a whack, but without stripper clips. Me and that printer, we had history.

    Meh. The NRA does /not/ speak for me, those people are batshit crazy. My rifles are for target shooting and hunting; nothing like blowing the shit out of a recalcitrant printer with eighty rounds from one's Mosin-Nagant.

    True, but it was more recently that they quit selling Macs with 32-bit EFI, and 10.8+ requires 64-bit EFI.

    Wrong. Lion requires 64-bit CPUs but can run with 32-bit EFIs. Mountain Lion and Mavericks require 64-bit EFIs.

    Because while they correctly identify some of the problems that exist, their ideas to fix them are naive and often enough stupid.

    The thing I read said that Boeing was paid to build new wingsets, which presumably means "new" and not refurb.

    The objection to the public sector having unions has a whiff of "why, I don't get those kinds of benefits anymore (now that my workplace has been de-unionized and partially outsourced to the third world), so why should those people?".

    Dishevel seems to be saying "you can't 100% prove to my satisfaction that he's doing this because he doesn't want fracking by his property, so I refuse to believe it and you people claiming this are liars", which is silly.

    Certainly unions are not perfect, and nobody will argue otherwise. The proper thing to do is reforming them so they'll actually represent the members' interests, not nihilistically destroying them so the rich and powerful can become more rich and powerful... which, not coincidentally, is what said smug Internet Libertarians want to do with government, because they're sheltered idiots who think they'd be the ones rising to the top.

    It's basic reasoning: he's a CEO of a major oil company that does fracking elsewhere, someone else comes in and starts fracking next to him, he finds reasons that aren't blindingly hypocritical to oppose it because saying "I don't want fracking in my backyard" would be devastating to his own company.

    I guarantee you that if the neighboring operation didn't need the tower and noisy trucks he'd still find other reasons to oppose it. That's just how people are. Besides, you are likely going to have need for extra water (a tower) and noise in any fracking operation, he just thinks that he shouldn't have to suffer like us proles because he's rich and powerful.
