Actually most modern handguns are loaded using magazines.
There is an easy way to differentiate between clips and magazines, sadly people, especially the media are most often mistaken.
I'm not guaranteeing this method of differentiation has a 100% accuracy, but:
If it holds bullets and is used to slide the bullets into the weapon (into it's magazine well). It's a clip.
If it hold bullets and is inserted into the weapon, it's a magazine.
Some people might say, they both hold bullets, what does it matter? I reply to that with this: RAM, Hard Disk Drives, they both have GB's, what does it matter?
I've used quite a few windows mobile devices, and honnestly I can't see what everyone's gripe with them is. Granted most of the ones I've worked with are PDA's, I haven't had a single complaint to date. A wide variety of software available, decent interface, what's wrong with it, someone just tell me please.
So should we have them put our slashdot nicknames and member numbers in the newspapers?
Quick all you Anonymous Cowards, this might be your last chance to not die as an AC. You might not live to see tomorrow, never know.
The value of a discussion is not related to the names of the participants, rather to the content of the discussion.
So in all fairness, not a single thing wrong by posting as an anonymous.
Ofcourse that is, as long as people don't troll.
This seems like quite the case of people, oblivious of technology, deciding over a technological matter.
His crimes might be illegal entering, but he didn't have to break any doors windows or locks. They were all wide open.
If someone ever breaks into my house and gets caught I should sue em and get em to pay money to turn my home into an impenetrable doom fortress.
Ribbons, all fine and well. But what happened to choice. I would rather have had the choice to switch between old UI/Ribbons. Why are we forced to change to ribbons?
I also am of the same opinion of many of the changes made in Vista. Is giving people choice that hard? What happened to customer satisfaction, yes even the hardened war veteraned nerds want satisfaction, and sometimes it's just as easy as giving them some older UI as a choice option.
One huge blender in front of the plane, blending everything and anything in it's way. They could set up a joint project with Blendtec for this. Will it blend, that is the question BOEING 747 Edition.
sorry but you're making some errors in your analogies.
They sound diferent:
Braking fluid and fuel can both be measured in mililiters, liters,...
You compared something's name (braking fluid, fuel,...) with a measuring unit (megabyte, gigabyte,...).
And in that aspect:
No a hard drive and RAM doesn't sound similar, not the least bit. They also look different to boot, they however don't really smell different. Not so sure about taste, never tried to eat hard drives before.
Flus are annoying, they show up wether you want them to or not, right in the middle of something else you were doing. Vaguely similar to your suggestion we name a nasty flu after a cool guy showing up on slashdot.
How about we call it "The Spanish inquisition flu".

Are you sure about that? You are on slashdot... Not that I'm not the same mind you.

Just a small correction.

I have a feeling that with your eyes focussed on your book, you weren't really either.

Is it just me or am I hearing gunfire/explosion like echos in the distance in the first part of that video?

The UK should reply with: "When all Brazilians stop playing international MMO's we will.
