Perhaps it's just me, but everytime I've played on XBox online games it's typically a bunch of barely teenage boys that are just obnoxious. They're disposable alright, or am I disposable as they PWN me?
Never the less, social interaction is very possible on online gaming. I've played a MUD for the last 10 years now that I've made several internet friendships that stemmed from it. It's all about common interests.
We are talking about at least 10 young people with raging hormones wearing hiking boots out in the middle of the woods with only a few adults to make sure they behave. Personally from that perspective I don't think it would matter if we had women out watching the kids with us or not.
It was always the hiking boots that did it for me too at that age. The feel of the leather, the scent of the camp dry and mink oil - Woo~! Boy, does that get my heart pumping and the hormones raging.
This would be an great prospect for those in that situation, how would you channel your audio? Different headphones for each viewing angle, directionalized speakers?
I'd be curious to see how Nomex stands up to laser attack as well. Though by the time weapons become more weaponized (ie legal to use via the geneva convention as a destructive weapon rather than maiming), I'm sure protective materials will have been improved and innovated as well.
Synthetic materials will melt into the skin when they come into contact with fire or other extreme heat. This is why the US military sends firefighters/combat troops/and others going "outside the wire" with cotton (doesn't melt into the skin) or flame retardant materials like nomex.
Unfortunate how after truckloads of money, and years of design the Air Force still creates a uniform that can't be worn outside the wire. So it then had to be manufactured with a cotton version just to satisfy that requirement for when people leave a base. (IMHO).
US Citizens worship at the pulpit of the all-mighty soapbox (or possibly talking head). Political(and media) fascination really isn't that much of a stretch. I like the way you're going with that.
The founding fathers didn't say you'd be limited to any sort of weapon, nor that it should be that of the current technology of the day. For an anti-gun post, it's comical that you care to attack pump shotguns which mechanically are so much simpler, flamed, etc than say Mac 10's or Uzi's capable of fully automatic fire. Feel free to expound upon your point, I am truly curious. Otherwise, you're just trolling for ridiculous lashbacks.
There are likely several dozen models of portable hunting blinds from various companies out there. There would be no market for this, and would likely be horribly cost ineffective.
I'm unsure of whether I'm supposed to applaud you or mourn your inevitable severed relationship ending with your wife finding out she's really just a lesbian. Power to you though, likely fun while it lasts. I would venture nearly all of/. is pulling for you... or at least pulling something thinking about what you have.
I think I've already taken this farther than I intended...
The Air Force does an excellent job with planning runway denial with minimal damage to the actual runway. A few tactical drops on key locations and you cut an enemies ability to utilize the airfield. The Air Force had to roll in and fix numerous runways in Iraq which had airfield denial operations performed on them once the US moved into Iraq.
How many frat boys on a Saturday night really pay for their behavior? Let's not just pin stupid behavior on the military, the world has plenty of idiots to share the wealth.
Oh and where I put it in the house: I keep it on the entertainment center next to the TV. It's not too loud, though the blue light from the interface may annoy some.
Not the cheapest, nor the most expensive but heres my solution:
Thecus 4100 Pro
4 x 1.5 TB Hard Drives in RAID for 4.5 TB of Storage
The Thecus 4100 pro has lots of capabilities that I just haven't taken the time to use/learn yet. But it's been very effective for me so far. This is my first NAS build. It's great to be able to access media all over the house and now serves as my primary storage rather than the 4 x 1 TB's I had in my desktop and other externals that I had spread out.

Are you also sitting at a Starbucks with your hot cup frappe-whappe-crappe-chino writing the next literary master piece.
There I fixed that for you.
Unfortunately Fred won't be able to participate in the reading, damned fifth wheel inhibitor on your monitor...

You may see it as a "brush control device", what I see is a pretty awesome weekend given enough flammable objects.

I wish I could hug you right now. Hopefully the discussion drives more people towards watching Dr Strangelove.

But they may require a FOIA request, and can still be hidden from the public for defense of assets and interests.
You wouldn't be saying that if you mother were a turtle. You insensitive clod!
There can be no redundancy of Cougar jokes, it's just not possible.

Order less. When you're not full, order a bit more. Is it really that difficult?

Just pick up a Mr Fusion. http://bttf.wikia.com/wiki/Mr._Fusion Problem Solved!
p>That's a real pity, because clearly the right response to a chemical attack is a nuclear holocaust.
I'm curious, is this is more tongue in cheek or actually serious?

It is expected to add $200 to the cost of a laptop depending upon SSD size. Nice job reading the article, it's far too much to expect on /.

I must admit, I need to clean up my pants now. This is incredible.
