  1. if it takes seconds to pop the magazine out (and in) then why not pop the magazine out before you put your gun away for the night? just-in-case one night you forget to lock the drawer/gunsafe/whatever and a toddler young enough to need a responsible adult's supervision to keep them safe hurts someone with it? seems like murphy's law to me.

  2. why would anyone put away a loaded gun, even in a locked drawer? the tv has trained me to believe that loading a magazine is something that can be achieved really quickly?

    we'll pay our fair share. Don't bikes cause something like 1/10.000 of the damage to a road that a car does? looks like it's the cars that are subsidised anyway according to: http://www.wired.com/2014/11/9...

  6. pee on lock on Breathalyzer Bike Lock Stops Drunken Cyclists In Their Tracks · · Score: 1

    what's to stop another drunk peeing on my 'alcolock'? peeing on the bit where I put my mouth? this would be enough for me to never buy this stupid, unneeded product you're trying to push

  21. Re:Mediatomb on Ask Slashdot: Suggestions For a Simple Media Server? · · Score: 1

    just to throw this into the mix but I've got mediatomb running on my flashed asus router, it's available as a binary package via ipkg IIRC. The benefit is that you can use a bit of "always on kit" to do your media serving too without running a separate PC to do the job.

  22. Re:OpenBSD on Backdoor Discovered In Netgear and Linkys Routers · · Score: 1

    FYI - those things you listed are all available as packages for dd-wrt/openwrt/tomato routers. e.g. I've got mediatomb running on my router,which servers some tunes etc on a stick plugged in to its side. I figured it was cheaper than having a PC on all the time as a media server.

  23. Re:Amazing discovery! on High-Gain Patch Antennas Boost Wi-Fi Capacity In Crowded Lecture Halls · · Score: 1

    so... if we all mounted our APs in the roof space with directional antenna pointed down we'd *all* have better wifi rececption. For me, my AP would be one layer of plasterboard worse off than where it is now (but with a gain from the antenna hopefully). I could use a Wok instead of an aerial change so it's cheap too.
