Heh. Met wife at a party where we ended up talking about proto-Celtic migrations in to China. She knew about artifacts archaeology and I came at it from language studies. Nothing like finding a woman who has as many books as you do (and is also a SF geek). And I don't have to explain my jokes to her either.
What was missing in the mortgage securitization crisis was lack of transparency. This extended from the initial mortgages (not explaining repayment terms properly), up to bundling and credit ratings of the bundles and finally up to the regulators, looking the other way.
A level playing field includes transparency so folks aren't blind sided by hidden info in the possession of just a few.
...bulletproof vests. Who's allowed to own them? Govt and police only.
Where is "here"?
In the U.S., there's no restriction in most states on owning a bullet proof vest, other than CA banning violent felons from purchasing such equipment. I think NY and PA were looking in to banning civilians from purchasing body armor but haven't heard if that's passed.
Onlookers were surprised by the emus' ability to sustain injury and keep running. Major Meredith was quoted as saying: "If we had a military division with the bullet-carrying capacity of these birds it would face any army in the world. They could face machine guns with the invulnerability of tanks. They are like Zulus....
Jefferson sent in the USS Enterprise, Constellation, Constitution, Intrepid and other ships to deal with piracy back in the 1800's. Too bad they didn't have phasers back then.
Boys anti-tank rifle. You can find them in the U.S. re-chambered for.50 BMG. Comes with a 5 round detachable magazine. Costs around $5000 on up. They should call it AT reach out and touch someone.

Even Amazon.com carries bullet proof vests.
From the sounds of it, you can't even talk about the game the next day at work. I think that would fall under giving an account of it.
Where's Tom Selleck when you need him?

James DiGriz would agree.

It's more difficult to add items to quick launch in the tool bar. That's progress for ya!
And my dad giving me a pet rock for Christmas. WTF? Even 8 year olds knew it was a joke. Thanks, dad. Enjoy the High Karate.
Ah, but will he let others look at his wife's nook?

Lots of planets have a north I hear.
So... if we got rid of all the people, the Earth would be a nice place to raise a family?
