As an exercise we had to write a Pascal program..Thing is we were using C. Lots of redefining.
We had one local who would send out a program. When you'd look at the source, it was a plain language, conversational letter
This does not take into account that efficient use of energy may become one of our greatest resources, At present fuel for transportation is at a multi decade low. States thatdepend on gas tax for roads are having to look for new sources because fuel use has dropped to such a low.
We've increase the efficency of our home to the point where it's no longer economical to consider geo thermal as an alternative as the payback at todays prices would be almost 50 years, With NG prices slated to go down (they are now at roughly 10% of what they were a decade ago) the payback would be even longer. If most tried to increase their heating and cooling efficency as wre have the fuel use would drop by a tremendous amount.
The US *could* be the petreleoum capital of the world if we didn't have Obama rooting for the Muslims. He won't issue permits and the EPA is regulating us out of the competetion.
We have the greatest, proven reserves in the world with most of them ( about 2/3rds IIRC) under goverment land where they refuse to let us drill. OTOH we do have substantial reserves under private land as well.
These are all cosmetic and none are assault weapons by a proper definition. Ask anyone who has been in the military. Assault weapons have been almost impossible for the private citizen to own for over 50 years. TThese are called assault weapons only because the Left changed the definition to include a whole bunch of characteristics. They also removed the need to fire full auto. IE: They changed the definition to suit their needs.
The school shooting has been used as a bogus excuse for firearms regulation, even though an assault weapon, or rather what the Left now defines erroneously as an assault weapon was not use at the school. Outside of the handguns he used the only weapon found was a shotgun contrary to what the bumbling medical examiner said in the interview.
None of the proposed laws would have made any difference
Rifles are high profile weapons so they are easier to pick on. The AR platform , short for ArmaLite is a very popular hunting and target rifle with many millions of the semiautomatic version in civilian hands
Hammers and clubs account for about twice as many murders as do rifles. Bare hands account for over twice times as many.

Then of course there are those who justify cars as being necessary even though they account for over 33,000 deaths per yeas which is down from a peak of over 50,000. So I guess they are saying 30,000 dead is just the cost of doing business as usual. To those losing family members, dead is dead and should not be justifiable! period.
BTW the local sherrif told me that close to a third of the drivers on the road in our county are driving on a suspended license, or never had one at all. One of 'em drove into the side of my TA. No license, no insurance, wrong license plates...tried to run.
Dish's DVR requires manual intervention, or you record and skip over. Quite different than an "auto skip"
Of course, there is a big reason that the major "main stream media" has dropped to the bottom of the viewer heap and a third rate network has risen to the top in all segments of the news. They only report news favorable to them, their philosophy, or their hero...even if they have to manufacture it
Few realize that in today's society that it'd be a rare day that most of do not violate (unintentional) at least one law (probably more) that would earn us some serious time and/or huge fines.
There is nothing sleazy about normal networking! Networking is simply getting to know people who may know other people. It's how you learn about potential jobs and how potential employers learn about potential employees AND may just end up getting character references on you.
To not take advantage of these resources is naivety in the extreme.
Well not quite. for thousands of dollars and bulky equipment we,e reached the point of anti collision equipment in airplanes.
Completely impracticable with firearms, but the left extremest media never let that stop them on a quest for a cause.
The first thing I recommend is to aleays keep a physical/paper backup of documents. Often computer record records are insufficient proof plus it's only a matter of time before losing or corrupting digital records,
You have to convince "The man on the street" before we can convert. If you have to go through the conversions and listen to the complaining for ever transaction it will cost far more than we'd save by being standardized with the rest of the world. Until we are really standardized I'll have to put up with a mixture of the American and SI bolts and fittings in cars and much of whatever else I purchase and it's a royal PITA to fix hybrid instruments using multiple standards, or to have to explain what those metric units are in inches, feet yards, miles, grams and KG. Of course we still have parsecs, etc... Then you have to spend valuable time listening to complaints you can't walk away from even in industry.
We may be able to force the official conversion, but it'll do us no good to get in sync with the rest of the world if we can't communicate with our own people!
The OWSers were anything but peaceful. They also appeared to know little about what they were protesting and even less about remedies. Their encampments were cesspools of filth and crime, contrary to the observations of a few. They did more harm to creating a climate for change than good and in general displayed a lack of knowledge about the issues or decision making. They were the epitome of those not suited for college.
And here I'd been thinking I was the only one who acknowledged the bath massacre. Hover I think you will find it was a disgruntled janitor who used Dynamite.
But rifles of any kind, be they AR style or bolt action are rarely used in a crime. AR style are used in less than 0.001%. Most murders that are committed with a firearm use no more than one shot (US bureau of statistics)
BTW Feinstine(sp?) is going after all firearms as well as registering even antiques. Read the bill, not what she claims is in it!
Alcohol is bad for the environment and contains just 60% the energy of gas (BTU) it's also corrosive and hygroscopic meaning it's hard on Aluminum. There is no real good reason to use it while lots of reasons not to use it. Alcohol was supposed to be only an interim measure, not a permanent answer..BTW I own a farm that produces corn and I'm still against it!
I recently had a chance to check out the system in a large regional medical center. Sho nuff...even the custom programs were based on XP Pro. Medical records and all!
They would have to eliminate all chemistry classes to start and purge the labs.
When I was a kid virtually every chemistry set included things necessary to make some pretty powerful...er...reactions.
and banning one gun because it looks like another that is something quite different is ludicrous
All my handguns do have grip safeties and disconnects if the magazines are removed, as does my 55 year old semiautomatic 30-06
Many firearms have included these devices for many years contrary to the content of many articles touting the devices, however they do not have the very expensive "smart gun tech"
Mine are always loaded and all should be assumed to be so until proven otherwise. Otherwise Darwin's law becomes paramount.
For 3 Grand you can build a 4 Gig, quad core, or even 8 core machine with 6 TB RAID and another 6 TB for full back up capability using drives that have multi million MTBF.
I was 50 when I earned my BS in CS. Those were lean times, (1990) but I still had companies calling with job offers and I didn't have to start at entry level either.:-)) otoh We do tend to have a different outlook at 50 compared to 20. Many of us also become much more independent if we invested for retirement! "I think" we also tend to have more of a life outside of work.

Here (in central MI) if they choose not to get the shots they are required to wear a surgical mask. No big deal.
AND Win 8 is already taking the crown away from Vista as being the worst OS release. At this poin Vista was out selling Win 8.
I've not intentionally purchased any Sony products since the root kit and their CEO's comments about their customers intelligence.

It may not matter how good you are if you don't have a degree. I've seen it happen to some very sharp people.

If it's "gun free" that makes it a prime target for thieves.
