The Bungie employee was being very iresponsible by carrying this in public, it certainly looks like a gun to me and initially I would be a little concerned if I was in the US and saw someone in plain clothes walking down the street with one - I certainly couldn't couldn't determine if it was an AK-47 and I'm not up on American military hardware but it certainly looks realistic to me.
The poster seems to be suprised that the person in Krikland could not correctly identify the type of gun being carried, can everyone in the US determine makes and models of guns from a glance?
I think this is not a story, it looks like a real gun and the person in Kirkland did the right thing by reporting it. In the UK we often get the police being called out to houses where idiots are brandishing replica guns.

Documentation is essential in IT, even if it is just scraps of notes with "how to do this" type info.
I would shy away from sharepoint unless your company has a lot of money and can afford to give people the correct version of office that allows editing with the version of sharepoint you are running. We have admin staff that that can't cope with versions of office greater than 2000. This means they can't edit any of our documents on the sharepoint server we trialled.
If other people are interested then start a simple intranet and start adding documents, let people know about it and soon they will start to contibute. Easy to set up with IIS or apache and some simple html pages on a server or even one of your dusty old pcs - no coding required. Plenty of instruction on this online.
Personally, my colleagues are terrible at documentation and my manager has no ambition to write anything down so I use google notes and publicly share it with them if they want to find out how I configured that router or what the passwords are for our web site, or what packages I used to compiile xyz, etc. My gain, as I'm seen as being organised as I can search my notes for stuff that they have long forgotton.

There are Elite runners that claim they have Asthma in the belief that the drugs used to treat Asthma have performance benefits.
