If it didn't get you in actual trouble I'd suggest you subtly imply to the little old ladies that you're getting annoyed at having to kill all the security goons that get in your way.
Well, that's what you get for being brown. You really should go into Edit->Settings and look for the "Skin Color" option if you're going to complain so much. White male is S-tier and I don't know why anyone would choose to be anything else in this game.
Uhm, you can buy a tank. Its turret gun has to be disabled, but it's still a tank. A nuclear weapon is more problematic as it is a weapon of mass destruction and practically impossible to use except to wipe out a large area. Individual weapons, however, are quite capable of being used in a reasonable manner that does not result in collateral damage.
Unfortunately both you and GP are wrong on a number of points.
First, "assault rifle" is a military term with a fairly widely accepted definition. Skipping a bunch of parts but the weapon should be select-fire with full-auto or burst modes and should be of intermediate caliber. (Intermediate caliber is again a fuzzy definition but it is more powerful than sidearm and less powerful than battle...)
Second, the term the GP was looking for is "assault weapon" which is a legal term defined in assault weapons ban laws. The federal AWB law had a strict definition that requires the weapon to be semi-automatic in all cases (fully automatic weapons were already covered by the '34 and '86 laws) and is mostly defined by cosmetic features.
Altogether, though, you both have demonstrated quite well one part of why AWB laws have been historically braindead -- they rely upon misinformation and misunderstanding of the situation to try to reach a political victory instead of a practical solution.
You don't need a class 3 license to buy a full-auto weapon. The weapon must be pre-ban (1986) and you have to pass any local laws about full-auto ownership and get a background check and tax stamp.Mr. Esterhouse above explains it very well.
This needs some modding up. I would never have gotten into video games if I could only afford one once a quarter. Used games meant I could buy a game every month when I was a teenager. This broadened my experience and helped cement gaming into my life experience. I probably wouldn't be buying a couple games a month nowadays if I couldn't buy a game a month back then. Luckily, games commonly sell on sale for $5 or less nowadays so new gamers will still be able to experience a wide array of games if they so desire.
The industry can't just assume that they'll be able to sell all of the AAA titles to all of the gamers every time one goes on sale.
Actually, impeachment is carried out by the House, which currently has a Republican majority if I remember correctly. The Senate is responsible for the trial so it couldn't go anywhere if Democrats want to play the party game. Also, Democrats would cry partisan politics so it could all backfire.
So, on August 31st, when the TSA hasn't responded, how about everyone go to their local airport and just walk through security. Straight on through. If the TSA can't follow lawful orders from the courts why do we need to follow their orders? Mind you, this would be true civil disobedience -- you walk through security peacefully then sit down and wait to be arrested.
Fair enough. I'll agree with you that it's entirely possible the US has not, since signing the NPT, aided Israel at all with respect to nuclear weapons.
Unless the US gave aid to the Israeli nuclear program after signing the NPT. Which they may have and I would suspect did. And which the IAEA would have to investigate. And it's conceivable that under both the disarmament and non-proliferation parts of the NPT that the US has a duty to inform the IAEA of its knowledge of the Israeli program.
I didn't say Windows was perfect, just that if you send a (crank) security exploit to Microsoft they review it. They may not fix it. They may say the best that you can do is upgrade, but they know whether or not it's a real hole. (At least, that's the policy.)
If you're not surprised then I hope it's because you expect Nvidia to be shite. Microsoft, as policy (though possibly not practice), fully evaluates any possible security exploits submitted because they assume that among the cranks who've already broken through the airlock there might be a real security exploit. This is expensive but necessary. If Nvidia can't do the same then I'll have to seriously consider my choices next time I'm buying a card.
Sorry I snapped at you so harshly. I failed to take your comment in good faith. I'm sick of people complaining that the RPi is being sold at more than the promised price but shouldn't have taken out that frustration on you.
If I recall correctly, one of the two distributors was explicitly including shipping in their price. However, if they're not selling at the exchange rate value of $35 before adding shipping they're doing it wrong and you should tell on them to the RPi Foundation.
That said, pre-tax, pre-shipping I can, in the US, order at $35 all day long. I would complain at the UK side of Farnell/RS if you can't.
Let me say this again. The thing you are buying that is called a "Raspberry Pi" is priced at $25 for the Model A unit (not yet in production) and $35 for the Model B unit (in production and commonly on backorder). Tax and shipping is separate from the retail price of the product. VAT, being a tax, is a tax and thus separate, as an additional tax, beyond the $25/$35 price. Shipping, being shipping, is shipping and thus separate, as shipping, beyond the $25/$35 price. SD cards, being SD cards, are not "Raspberry Pis" and thus are separate beyond the $25/$35 price and so on for other additional peripherals.
So though it may cost/you/ 42€ for a Raspberry Pi when you include additional costs related to complying with legal requirements, getting it to your door and creating a running setup from it that doesn't mean that the Raspberry Pi itself, which sells for $25/$35 (model depending) does not cost $25/$35. When I buy a pack of gum for $0.99 I pay $1.06 because of taxes. When I order cat food online for $25 for a case I pay $35 because of the $10 shipping. It doesn't mean my cat food isn't $25 a case. It means I pay for shipping.
Look, Newegg has 8GB of ram for $45 right now! What's that, UPS shipping is another $6? Oh no, that means Newegg really only has ram for $51. No. The ram is $45. It's advertised at $45 and it costs $45. What's that, I can go to AlliedElect and order 4 Raspberry Pis and pay $35 each and $7 shipping? I mean, $36.75 each of course, because shipping doesn't exist and isn't priced separately.
Look, the 13" Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display is $1200. Wait, tax isn't included in that, how dare Apple claim their computer is $1200 when I have to pay $1275 for it? Despicable, it is. It makes me wretch.
Stop pretending that the Raspberry Pi foundation is being disingenuous about pricing when 1. they have always marketed it as a just the actual computing device, not the storage, or the power supply, or the display or keyboard or mouse or modem or electricity or sense of smug self satisfaction you get from claiming they're lying and 2. it's not their fault that you have to pay for shipping and VAT.
Okay, I'll spell it out for you. The USA is a signatory to the NPT so it's not supposed to help other countries obtain nuclear weapons technology. The US and Israel have very close connections. If Israel admits to having nuclear weapons technology then the IAEA should be asking where they got that technology . Even though it's feasible they developed it all independently they should still be investigating whether and to what extent the US helped. If Israel admits to having nuclear weapons capabilities then the IAEA should be looking very closely as to whether the US violated the NPT since they're the most likely vehicle for Israel gaining that technology. The question would be whether the US helped them at all since signing the NPT.
Except that they're not an unknown. Everyone knows they have nukes. In fact if they were to admit they had nukes outside the NPT I think that would cause more disruption than continuing their no-comment stance since the UN would be forced to start messing with them over the fact.

I knew someone whose shoes would set off the scanners. That was always a hoot.
This is actually a Civil Rights Act violation, which does apply to Delta, especially because, I believe, they are a common carrier.
If it didn't get you in actual trouble I'd suggest you subtly imply to the little old ladies that you're getting annoyed at having to kill all the security goons that get in your way.
That's actually kind of hilarious. It might be worth it to be so blasé about it.
That was amazing.
Not one penny of mine will ever go to the scum who run the airlines.
Until, of course, they require another bailout because of declining sales figures and increasing oil costs.

$25/$35 depending on model. Plus applicable tax and shipping.
The UN would have to look very closely at the US if Israel admitted to having nuclear weapons.
Except that they're not an unknown. Everyone knows they have nukes. In fact if they were to admit they had nukes outside the NPT I think that would cause more disruption than continuing their no-comment stance since the UN would be forced to start messing with them over the fact.
Sorry, let me clarify, "Israel does not lie about its nuclear capabilities." I thought the context was obvious but I was, of course, mistaken.
