Holy jesus, did McCarthy, Schumer or Feinstein give you that statistic?
http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=237381 shows testing of a Glaser round; shooting it into ballistics gel shows that this "super-deadly round" penetrates less than a regular ball or hollowpoint round, when fired directly into the block. When fired through two walls, it actually penetrates more, which is completely counter to the Glaser marketing, and barely fragments, which makes it slightly less effective as a normal ball round fired from the same gun.
Lets not make up statistics.
Any bullet moving fast is dangerous, whether it fragments or not, whether it makes a small wound, or a hole you could toss a cat through. However, a bullet is minimally dangerous to an aircraft when compared to a bad guy intent on crashing it/ blowing it up / taking it somewhere its not supposed to go. Unless, of course, its a lithium-powered rechargeable bullet.
And through some admittedly unscientific testing (http://www.theboxotruth.com/docs/bot41.htm), the Judge did not put up impressive figures for effectiveness when shooting shotshells or slugs.
Sure, it might prevent a automatic pressure door on an undersea rig from locking you in, but it doesn't hold a sharp edge at all. Nor will it stain when you drop it into a chemical toilet... Your hand may, however, be blue.
And yet they don't bomb Mexico, Canada, Africa, Japan, Russia, etc even though they're all different cultures. You're fooling yourself if you think that our political actions don't put us towards the top of their shitlist. Its our political actions AND our culture that "they" are against. Hell, some of them are against "bad Muslims", and they define "bad" as anyone not agreeing with them. Look up the Takfiri movement.
And get your history straight. They don't bomb Africa?
Although the attacks may have been intended to kill employees of the United States government,[citation needed] most of the victims were African civilians: about 200 Kenyans were killed at the embassy in Nairobi, and 11 Tanzanians were killed in Dar es Salaam.[2] They don't bomb Spain?? Or Russia?
A large part of the extremist mindset is that of historically-getting-fucked-over, so much so that conspiracy theories come easily. According to the book "Looming Towers", Mohammed Atta thought that Monica Lewinsky was a Jewish agent sent in to distract Clinton from the progress being made in Israel at around the time.
So yes, its some of our political moves, its also our culture, and its also because many are not well educated, and get their own indoctrination. Saying that its all "our" fault is bullshit. Thats like saying a rape victim is responsible because she work a skirt. (Which, in some Islamist views, is a perfectly valid argument.)
is THAT what gun control people are trying to do? Give the wolves guns, and keep the sheep defenseless? Guns in the hands of the victims lets them not be as victimy.
offline update is terrific; its basically a script that wgets the patches directly from Microsoft, and can work incrementally after each patch tuesday. it'll create an ISO for you, or just have it store the patches in a directory with an auto-installer.
I even customized it (its source is available) to download an unlisted windows language.
What happened to taking a loss on the console, and then recouping the cost in games and licensing? Was this not wildly successful with Nintendo and the PS1 (Though I forget how much the PS1 originally was).
then also call to task the designer of the SMTP protocol as well, for the horrendous security there that allows forged headers to be passed around.
Oh, wait, there is no security, yet no ones calling for their heads.
Punitive action based on the abuse of a system should go to the abuser, not those who's systems they abuse, whether you're talking about spammers and Windows and SMTP, or a 5 year old kid who's getting abused by his parents. You don't fault the kid, or the baseball bat he's getting hit with.
If one protocol is taxed, we can push another protocol to take over. Imagine, if email is taxed, having the entire industry shift to a better system that is not regulated, and having the opportunity to design much-needed controls and authentication in to eliminate spam.
First amendment limits what the Congress can do. Bill of rights doesn't apply to States, unless the state has a similar document.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Imagine their surprise when they opened a rarely-accessed service panel in Mir's Kvant-2 Module and discovered a large free-floating mass of water. "According to the astronauts' eyewitness reports, the globule was nearly the size of a basketball," Ott said./quote A real nasty one too!

I had a point, but I forgot what it was.

You're right. That would be a dictatorship.

and thus the quote from that scene in the Terminator 2 movie. Clever, eh?
"We got Skynet by the balls now" sums it up quite nicely.

Wish yourself Outside and create the recolada.
However, Sticktion was not a problem.
Both men and women will have to lift *something* to do anything. Men will lift the cover and seat for #1, and women will just lift the cover for both.
Problem solved. Also keeps pets out of the toilet.

you mean Debt of Honor, published in 1994.

Red Storm Rising isn't even part of the Jack Ryan "universe".
just a pop culture nitpick
This will cause world-wide ooblick shortages! Won't someone think of the Children?

The low melting point is also not good in combat situations.
Its highly recommended to wear *cotton* and not nylon clothes, for example, because cotton won't melt to your skin if you survive an IED attack.

all 1911-type pistols have a grip safety, as well as the Springfield XD series.
I agree - I like the feature, wish my Glock had one; I'd feel more comfortable reholstering.
A real nasty one too!
THere is protection for people in your position called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whistleblower#Legal_p rotection_for_whistleblowerswhistleblower laws that can help protect you against any retaliation.
Wouldn't that be a Google Joe Job?
