Aluminum can be cut with a medium tooth blade and a jigsaw. It drills VERY easily as it is soft. Not so soft, however, as to be unable to take threads. You can do it with some scraps of aluminum at home even with modest tools. If you cut threads into the holes you could do away with the nuts on the backside and not have any bolt sticking out.
I don't reccomend using aluminum for this project, however. It would be much better to do it with copper, as it conducts heat better, is denser(even more sound dampening), and you won't have an issue with galvanic corrosion like you will with aluminum on steel parts.
Copper is softer than aluminum, so you'd have to bolt it thru as shown in the picture.
I went to the article to hopefully get more details. Nothing about how the breechblock was welded on(what process/electrodes used), or even what it was MADE of!

You're right. Between all the businesses coming in and giving us the bone by starting up and saying that they are the next greatest thing, then shutting down after a few months, and the generally inadequate infrastructure . ..
And besides. Everyone who knows anything knows that you don't run a business in Wilkes-Barre, the taxes are too high, and the regulations too cumbersome. You run your business in Plains. Same with Scranton. Why do you think all those buildings downtown are half-empty? Everyone is doing business up on Montage Mountain. Granted, the bigwigs never have to DRIVE in there, but that's another rant for another day and time.
Cordless phones aren't so much limited by range as they are by interference. At my parent's house, I can get the phone to work 500' away from the base station. There's nothing to interfere, except some trees. I haven't tried it further, because there was never need to. And it was just a crappy bellsouth(I think) cordless. Wasn't 900mhz, I remember, somewhere in the 200s if I'm correct.
But the problem in this situation is you need standing to bring a case before the supreme court. You have to get detained to gain standing. If you get detained, they're NOT going to let you go any time soon. What happened to those guys in the resturant in florida? All they said was "And if they thought sept 11 was bad, just wait to hear what they have to say about [I forget the date]". And they're gone. Disappeared. Only they call it "detained for questioning". Congratulations, Bush, you've succeeded in circumventing judicial review. And I've got more news for you. The only reason they're looking to get rid of your citizenship is so they can be certain that you have no rights here. You won't get deported, no. You'll be detained, again. I wonder how all of this will sit with the international community.
You mean like they do already? You have to/dccallow a person for them to be able to send you a file with an extention of anything useful. I'm just glad Frink is no longer an oper. He'd be killing people who sent more than 3 dccs an hour with his script.

I wonder if it's going to be near the Cigna callcenter in Moosic or the Travelocity callcenter in Plains. Don't think that those call centers help us in the Scranton, Pennsylvania area. They don't pay any more than any other crap job out here. They start people at $8/hr, promise them $10 in 2 years. Big freakin deal. The hours are crap, the pay is crap, you get treated like crap, and the work is crap. We've got plenty of call centers. They do provide employment for all those out of work college grads in the area, and I laugh when I think that I make more than them as a welder.
Hrmm. Numbers 4 and 5 in Northeast Pennsylvania are: "Wait until the snow stops and make a half hearted attempt at plowing. Salt and such are only to be used in areas where big name retailers are located. To make interstates easier to clear, shut them down with cars on them, snow will melt off of the running cars instead of landing on the roadway, meaning less work for PennDOT."
It would certainly change the business model. Those artists would either have to live off of what they've made already, or go on tour to do music and make money that way. Or *gasp shudder die* write new material. Not that all don't, but you'd see more of it for certain . ..
It'd be a boon for musicians starting out, because they'd no longer have to secure rights to play those classic songs, they could just perform them. And it would ALSO spell an end to those stupid bad substitutes for Happy Birthday you hear at resturants.
It's not scripted, and neither side would have a real advantage. And I'm sure the unarmed football players could find some swords or polearms laying around to use.
Which is why I send my spam/hacker reports to abuse@, support@, and sales@. And be persistant. abuse@ might not net you anything, but support@ is usually staffed by someone. And if all else fails, someone in sales@ will get confused because they know nothing about computers and forward it to someone who can but doesn't usually mess with such things. And even if nothing happens, you're causing them to waste time and money by processing your emails.
Why do you think that the only things that are worth disagreeing with are those that are illegal? My point has always been "Monopolies are bad for competition." And I'll agree that as far as evil is concerned, microsoft > apple. But I see Jobs in the same light I see Gates. You're part of his solution, as long as he's a part of yours.

I'd seriously be interested in this product for my wife if it really existed. Someone should take the idea and run with it.

Something like that.

Netcraft has confirmed . . . SCO is dead
Nobody really knows what SCO died of, but two days ago, their site went offline. It could bave been an attack of mad hackers or the SOBIG worm, or just a BIG ASS WHOOPIN by someone they're suing.
SCO, we will miss you. No longer will your name grace
Thirdly, it includes minors killed by the police.
Wow, what happened to that, anyway? It seems everyone wants to use 1 based now.

Uhmm, they CAN be changed. You're not a geek unless you can figure it out, too.
Frequencies can ALWAYS be changed, it's just a matter of how much work you're willing to put into it.

WHAT'S THE SOLUTION! Wireless? Pigeons carrying IP packets?
I suggest you read RFC 1149 before you make a decision.
