I was replying to the "NFA weapons illegal in most states" comment.
When I go back home, I hang out with a class II manufacturer sometimes. He has a shop full of goodies, full machine shop, furnace, etc.
One thing most have overlooked here is that it is muzzle loader using a black power substitute. IIRC, the thing would not even be considered a weapon, at the federal level.
I've seen these pre-made for sale at gun shows. They had a clean out plug you could screw out to inject the ligher fluid. The center of the plug had been drilled and long butane lighter, the kind used to light charcoal, hot glued into it.
Great christmas presents for nephews you want to get rid of...
Level 2 can suck too. I was having a problem with RoadRunner. I went through level 1, no help. He sent me to "Network Support".
The chick on the other end was dumb as a rock. She had to be working out of her trailer, I could hear babies and dogs in the background. Her stock answer was that they had to send out a tech, and I had to pay for it. No way in hell. I told her if a tech came out he was taking the fucking cable modem back with him. I asked for her supervisor. She said he "wasn't there". She wouldn't even give me his voice mail.
You are missing an important point about the Zodiac. It is a Palm PDA with a 200MHZ ARM9 CPU, very good ATI graphics chip, good sound chip and an excellent 480x32 display. It will run the thousands of Palm OS apps already out.
Oh, it plays games too (with very nice game controls).
This is a new beast. Take it to meetings, use it for your contacts, play Doom and MAME, listen to MP3s, watch movies, whatever.
The idea with Atkins is to burn fat, not protein. Fat is the most concentrated energy source. Eating lots of protein keeps you from losing muscle mass.
I HATE exercise. I do it because I have to, but it is always hard to get going. Since the heat has pretty much gone away, I am trying to do more power walking.
Cutting carbs any way you do it helps. We eat *WAY* too much refined flour and sugar.
What I plan on is to stay with the induction phase (20mg of carb max a day) for a couple of months.
Then I'll have to see. I don't want the weight to come back. If I can stay on a fairly low carb diet maybe I can keep it off. A little discipline may do it. Nuts are just as good a snack as chips. Since heavy cream is pretty much carb free, I can add cocoa power and splenda and make ice cream. There are more and more low carb treats out.
French fries once a week (or month) will just make them taste better.
After my birthday next week, I am hoping to lose 50lbs using the very low carb Adkins type of diet. Our Unix God at work has lost 46lbs so far and kept it off.
No pizza, chips or donuts, but you can eat eggs and meat all day.
The bizzare thing is it lowers your cholesterol. My dads cardiologist has been on it for 6 months and his cholesterol has dropped 30%. Eating eggs and red meat.
I will miss bread and french (sorry, FREEDOM) fries, but it will be nice to be able to take a deep breath...
Anecdotal results are mixed. It seems for every 100+ year old woman (most seem to be women) who say they never ate meat, drank or smoked and is a very old virgin, there's another who lived on lard, booze and tobacco and screwed everything but stray dogs...

IBM, Sun, SGI, RedHat, the EFF and *ALL* Linux users need to file a class action suit against SCO.
SCO is doing all this shit just to pump up their stock so the asshole executives can cash in and bail.
Let's sue *THEIR* asses for a change.
Lets see: frivoulous lawsuits, defamation of character...any lawyer wannabes want to add to the list?

Dammit, forgot the link!
Actually, most states allow some form of NFA weapon ownership.
The "large tax" is $200.
Quite a impressive piece of work that is going to to be under the GPL (as I understand it).

Really? Exxxxcellent, MWAHAHAHAHAHAH...cough!
At least pipelines are underground. No trees falling on them.
Of course, backhole outages could be explosive...

I finally fixed the damn thing myself...

I think you will find, if you look here, that the Zodiac *HAS* first-run games on the way.
Personally, I would much rather have a gaming PDA with the Zodiacs specs over a 16mhz toy.
Plus the fact that GBA games will be running on the Zodiac soon...uh, forget I said that, mmmkay?
Legions of 12 year olds are already taking time out from getting beaten up...
thank dog that stuff doesn't just automaticly install itself into linux.
Yet. (cue thunder and ominous music)
Ha. I've already cracked it.
You want proof? You can't handle the proof!
Federal judges are nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate.
In this case, the judge who signed off was Lee R. West. I can't find out who appointed him.

I'm going to live at the pool next summer...
This is going to suck. Even when I'm fat, I have problems with women chasing me. I'm married, so if I lose 50lb I'll have to carry around a bat...

No, since I'm looking at the book, "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution". Dick.
I'm not on the diet yet.

You never mentioned that in the orignal post. Being /., who knows?
Not that there's anything wrong with that...
Long pig.

Compared to a basic TI calulator they were a drop in the bucket.
But compared to slide rules and pencils, the IBM machines were at least an order of magnitude faster.
The problem with nukes is that, with enough money and gear, a basic device is not that hard. It's not easy, but can be done.
San Diego will probably be a glowing crater soon...
