I also have a good use for my guns: Putting food on the table.
I know i can just go to the grocery store, or just to the barn (god, living on a farm rules!) and either buy or kill one of my own cows, but that isn't venison, or grouse, or wild turkey (very different) or squirrel, or woodchuck (yes, it's edible), or duck, or goose (also different than their commercial equivalents). The only way I can have any of those succulent meats is to go out, track one down (or happen across one, like I did Saturday to a whitetail doe) and pull the trigger.
I do not have delusions of using my Ruger.270, my Marlin.22WMR, my Mossberg 12 ga, or my Traditions.50 cal to shoot another man, self defence or homicide, but i do know how to use every one of them (and many more) properly, and fire them accurately within their respective ranges.
In my book, i have a very good use for my guns, and you WILL have to pry them from my cold dead hands if you want to take them away (albeit i'll probably be trying to use them one last time before they're confiscated, die in the forest in some tragic accident, and won't have to fire a single shot in anger.)
the parent and grandparent make good points. I would like to point out that this argument is very much like the debate whether Apple should allow OSX on X86 hardware. There are reasons for it, and there are reasons against it, but ultimately it is up to the manufacturer, and nobody can change that.
actually, i take offense to all people with hangnails, even myself. I believe hangnails are a weakness of the human race (have you ever seen another species with a hangnail?)
I used that book for some research freshman year. It truly is simply amazing. I'm so glad i decided to just cruise the aisles of my campus library, because a copy of that book WILL one day be on my office desk, my coffee table, and my night stand. It's just that good.

at my university, we are taking advantage of the fact that XP pro comes with a 2k pro license. currently, all the student-used computers are running 2k, but every different IT sub-department (several through the campus) has at least one or two boxes running XP pro, being tested for reliability and usability in the future. it's not happening yet, but in 1-2 years, there will be a campus wide switch to XP.
in conclusion: my school (as well as many other IT departments i know of) are getting good and ready to release XP to the cube-based user, and they're making damn sure that it will work when they do switch.
wouldn't the water resistance be somewhat similar to current (oil-based) shoe polishes. Last time i checked, the stuff they used repelled water fairly well when it was in large quanitity.
Being a natitive to Roaring Branch, PA (if you've spent much time on Rt 14, you know where that is) I can vouch that there is quite a glow, but i believe the glow you were observing was not from the gas station, but instead from the city of Williamsport.
Trust me on this one... i was watching the Leonid shower last year as well. (unfortunately, i'm not much of a photographer.)

I believe the whole point is the following: the independent bands need exposure. if you are willing to wade through the crap to find good bands, you will be willing to pay for more music from said good band. eventually, if enough people believe the band is a good band, they (theoretically) have a chance at a recording contract, and become a mainstream band. otherwise, you end up with mainstream bands that were chosen by the label instead of the people (read boy bands/teenie pop)
thus, it's our civic duty to listen to indie bands, helping the world by sorting through the masses to find the good.
well, yes... compared to some obscure (proprietary) format which you must have 'their' player to use.
compared to that, ogg is quite popular, and getting more popular all the time

not to flame, but i'm an end (l)user... i should be able to plug and play (btw: i did just that, but i have to complain because if it doesn't work for me, it doesn't work for someone else.)
i have radeon 7500, and i do not have this problem. possibly an issue with the 9000, but not all ati cards. i still will likely not buy another ati card, because as far as drivers go, they suck. (my 7500 didn't even ship with working win2k drivers)
i have never been modded down so quickly, with the exception of the few times i've fp-ed. Yes, this is the first post, but i was trying to make a quick joke (on topic) about the article, not trolling. jesus tits, if you moderators spent half as much time enjoying life as you did masturbating about your ability to strike terror into the hearts of posters, then you would laugh-- instead of zealously downmodding.
Not exactly sure, but if you have a bachelor's degree, i believe that most branches of the US armed services will admit you into officer school, pay for your college (in exchange for a commitment) and give you a CAREER.

I call first dibs on being the bartender at the Mos Eisley cantina.
i've been practicing:
"we don't serve their kind here"
same here in altoona.
real bummer. at least i got to snuggle my girlfriend under the stars for a couple hours before we gave up.
we did have a break in the clouds around 5-5:30 ish AM EST, and we saw several dozen, but then the wind picked up, and the clouds returned.
oh well, at least last year was a blast.

That's one out of how many? Not to knock you, but i think there just haven't been enough astronauts yet to derive any statistic from it.

Also, our school's CAD and Pro E labs both have 20" MultiSync monitors... the best move Penn State ever made.
