    Some construction equipment require you to either have a Explosive licence or firearms licence. Arborist slingshots require you to possess as firearms licence. while a run of the mill gas charged nail gun does not require it. if its considered a explosive tool then you need to be licenced to buy and use it.

  10. Re:I'm surprised it's such a problem on FAA Goes To the Web To Fight Laser-Pointing · · Score: 1

    LOL you're joking Right. Pretend you have a laser light and wanted to shine it into the eyes of a plane would you stand a) In line with the runway on the planes landing approach so yo can get the light "into the cockpit" more easily b) off to the side where you will have to try and focus the light from below and try and track the plane as it moves across from you. now think nice and hard. and since light travels really really fast the fact that the plane moves at 300km/h isn't much of an issue. especially if its coming towards you, and you are only tracking it vertical movement. as anyone who has been in combat can attest.

    In Oz we have the same thing.

    what about all of those WWII games out their showing planes getting shot up, dropping bombs, bombs exploding planes strafing targets that at one point were shooting back before they exploded into a ball of flames. Are you equally Appalled about all this footage. When the Gulf War v2.0 games come out and they are showing the said footage the generation of people playing them will not remember this whole shitty situation that some of the world have gotten involved in.

  24. Re:Rotational Pollution on Danish Goal: 50% of Electricity from Wind · · Score: 1

    On average the blades don't spin that fast so the birds wouldn't get "sucked" into the blades. and the blades have a diamater of about 44m (well the ones in NSW Australia do)

    So the birds can fly above/ below

    When it is blowing a gale how many birds do you see anyway? most of them are hiding out of the wind.

    so the number of birds that die as a direct result of the windmills would be so small.
