I know it seems 'off' (what with the "assault rifles", but no "battery rifles"), but it is legally the case. Assault is the threat of violence. Battery is physical.
I guess their coverage of the various Porter-Cable (PC) brand products is up to par, but I don't see what that has to do with anything.
Okay, I admit that was lame.
(I'm a woodworking geek as well as a computer geek. Interestingly, I noticed that in the past year or so my brain now defaults to the power tool as opposed to the network traffic management device when it hears "router". Heh.)
Here in chicago, the only tell-tale marking is the green-on-white government license plates. The lights are in the grill and in the rear window (which is tinted). They pull people over all the time. And if they're involved in something more insidious (say, shootings or chasing drug dealers) the cops that jump out are wearing jeans and a t-shirt (with a very intimidating gear harness and holster). Their badge is on the vest portion, but that's as close to "uniformed" as it gets. You can come hang out and watch for them first-hand if you want (I just bought a house in a "transition area" and there tends to be a foot chase every weekend or so).
In much of Indiana, the cops convert confiscated vehicles (Mustangs, Corvettes, at least one Viper as far as I've seen) into cop cars. They black out the windows, install the flashing lights behind the grille in front and inside the tinted rear windscreen. They have the "cop flashy module" (or whatever) for the headlights and a siren. They cruise with traffic, and flip on the cacophany of lights/sirens when they observe traffic violations. From what I've seen, though, they just do the initial pursuit and have a marked car do the actual ticketing. They also use these cars for pursuits (a lot less can outrun these cars then the Crown Vics).
So, the "must be fully marked" theory is not a valid one.
In a sort of weird turn-around on this theme, I used to work for a marketing company that also had a publishing company 'grafted on' (as it was owned by the same guy). One of our marketing techniques to promote a book (that the president of the company had written) was to log onto various sites and talk about how bad the book was and how reading it is akin to satanism. The fundies ate it up, and there were actually local protests about it and a mention on G Gordon Liddy's show to not buy it (which spiked sales). It was a fairly inflammatory subject and his idea was to ride the controversy wave, so I think it worked.
Honestly, I don't mean this is a bait - How does that place in you (or anyone's) scale of morality?
I was hesitant at first, but I decided it's not immoral to talk false shit about something when the 'inventor' tells you to. I think it's a very different thing to lie about something along the lines of software or mortgage rates or something. Or even a bent like "This book will change your life" (in the good way).
It wouldn't work. You destroy the grain fibers when you're turning it. Bending permits the strength of the grain to be maintained.
Wood grain is very much like a bundle of long drinking straws (obviously, much smaller). Think about if you took your big straw bundle and carved out the center. Not so strong.
If you were able to convince your straws to bend smoothly, then glued the ends together (modern glues are stronger than the wood itself), the shape you desired is achieved, and the structure of that shape is extremely strong.
SNMP-monitoring tools that can be compiled to pre-load MIBs often (usually?) default to "all". Setting it to "none" and feeding the MIBs in by OID only as you need them can show improvements of 1600%. I've done it myself.
So, if your car breaks down in SCOLand, obviously it's because the road STOLE important parts of said car. You just sue the roadmaker and and others who drive on the road until someone buys you a new car.

You're confusing "assault" with "battery".

I think the problem just *might* be that they are "running Microsoft-IIS on Solaris 8" according to NetCraft.
Ouch.
Pretty much any Woodworking magazine.

"chuck full", hmm? Perhaps you meant chock-full?

I highlight, click into the address bar, press CTRL-U (line delete), then middle click.
It's not perfect, but it works.
WHY is this modded Flamebait? READ THE PARENT. He mentioned very off-handedly that it was his birthday. I was being nice, Asshole Mod.
It would have been a LOT funnier if you had managed to get the last name right.
McBride.
Happy birthday :)

Even MSIE can manage multiple windows.
God help you.
And, if you're dressing yourself under that lighting, God help anyone who has to be seen with you and your heinously mis-matched clothing.

"Car from the 70s" makes it sound worse.
(911s are, honestly, amazing cars. Too bad they fucked them up with water a few years back, though :()
Excuse me, but the Beetle is most certainly not "designed after the 911"!
The Porsche 911 was deisgned after the Porsche 356 which was designed by the same man (Ferdinand Porsche) who designed the Beetle.
How could the Beetle, a car first prototyped in 1933, be "designed after" a car from the 70s?
Thus, no NEED for AutoZones!
Makes him seem even lamer, doesn't it?
Sadly, 1984 hung around.
Good thing we released it GPL. Now those Apache commies can't use it, either!
Free Tibet!
Are you pro gay marriage (illustrating that it's pointless to forego some arbitrary ritual, so why not let everyone do it)?
Are you anti gay marriage (illustrating that they don't need the ritual if they're committed, and it's an exclusive 'breeder program' anyway)?
Or are you anti-marriage in general (illustrating that the ritual itself is arbitrary, and you don't care for it)?
Pardon me if this is some 'know' quote that I just missed.
They probably said Ayons le sexe avec ces fils des chevres sans mere!.
You are the coolest person of my day so far. Well done, sir. My geekness bows to yours.
It's 'per se', not 'per say'.
Is this confirmed? I *knew* that little wide-eyed human girl in Helm's Deep was the same as the Hobbit girl listening to Bilbo at the birthday party.
