    Silly person -- you don't die until you stop gaming and head to the bathroom. Don't go!

    Hmm...obviously, you haven't even SEEN Clerks!

    The real question is of course this: did he get to fuck Caitlyn Bree after he died?

    Doesn't do a whole lot for private companies, does it?

    That would be one of IT'S years, not one of OUR years, right? (while we're nitpicking, of course)

    We'll have none of that! You leave the facts out of this!

    Radio and TV don't distribute content in the same way as you see on the Internet. Money doesn't have anything to do with it in this case. Each "client" requiring resources as opposed to broadcasting makes the difference here.

    Hmm...is /. known for BEING down, or having the effect of TAKING other sites down? I must be new here, because I thought it was the second...

    Your lawnmower analogy is a bit off. Maybe a better example would be that yes, the lawnmower just works. But you still have to know what to do with it -- alternate mowing directions, adjust the wheels to the correct height so you don't scalp the lawn, etc. Cars tend to just work, but that doesn't mean that people will actually know what to do with them.

    It's droids they didn't serve, not Jawas.

    Err, by that I mean the non-"it's a cookbook!" method of serving, of course...

    What, launching rockets at the neighbors? They'd probably be pissed off, but if done properly they wouldn't really have time for it. Everybody else would probably be pissed off in that case. Build a LOT of rockets, just in case.

    Didn't say it didn't work wonders for equipment. :) If it was against some treaty, I'd like to see the reference that disqualifies it -- hearsay don't count. Aside from that, I'd say I remember shooting at lots of man-silhouttes out on the range, with vehicles thrown in at the longer ranges. I never saw any LBE, rucksacks, nor individual weapons for us to shoot at. :) You might find some of the FM useful here as well. Also, read the description of ball ammo in the ammunition section.

    Isn't insurance in general a conspiracy to steal money from you? (good points about correlations notwithstanding)

    I'm not trying to support the point about the Delaware freezing (at a quick glance it seemed pseudo-sciency.) However you say BS Alert, but follow it up by saying it just hasn't been cold enough / long enough lately? How does that dispute the point?

    While we're at it, that makes the Hindus and Greeks (err...the old time ones, that is!) theists as well. More specifically, they would be polytheists while the "people of the Book" are monotheists.

    Umm...who do Mexicans steal jobs from? Your average American wouldn't want to work the jobs they do. Plus, what sort of lower wage job isn't always hiring? What's needed is a change in attitude in many cases...

    The .50 cal is designed as an anti-personnel and light anti-armor weapon. There is no prohibition against shooting people with it. You fell victim to an oft-repeated but incorrect statement. FWIW, I'd like to meet the shithouse lawyer who originally stated that, and put a thumb-sized projectile through his ignorant skull. :)

    Whoever modded this up should read the damn link. The 3rd Article specifically exempts blinding as a side effect. Read the article, or the myriad of other postings that mention this.

  22. Re:Lazers! That not right??? on More on JSF Laser System · · Score: 1

    That would be a poor choice. If you blind the people, then more people can come and use the functioning equipment. That's why the main focus is to destroy the equipment. In that case, it is not necessary to (directly) kill anyone, because if their equipment doesn't work they are still out of the fight.
