serious question, wouldn't a microwave pulse of this magnitude completely fuck up anyone who has fillings in their teeth? I'm thinking, eploding fillings?
there are dozens of offset printers, or commercial print shops in my small city metro area, of course, they're not physical typesetting, but they certainly are graphically type setting, and printing on old fasioned printing presses (offset printing hasn't changed much, has it?) They also have high volume laser printers in operation, but old school printing is very much a business today.
I've never figured out why people worship the indians as if they were so noble and eco-friendly. Around here, hundreds of years ago, they would rotate their habitation through several towns, each one a few days' walk from each other. They would then strip the land bare of game and fuel for an almost day's walk from the town. When things got tight, they would pack up and move off to greener pastures. Rinse, repeat. God help those who clashed for resources, the clubs would come out, and they would carve little stick figures in the club for each enemy killed. They would carve a slightly smaller figure for women and children killed. One club at a local preservation site has 20 marks, along with the owner's tattoos and markings reproduced to show who owned the club. Crazy stuff, sort of like a figher pilot stamping the flag of the enemy he downed on the side of his plane.
They formed the settlements in a sort of large ring pattern, so you always encroached on the next oldest settlement, creeping up to it. over the years until you landed on it in a migration. Very few of the settlements were permanent around here.
The system in New York actually includes an opt-out for many kids, vocational training. It's a fantastic way for a kid to spend 1/2 the day at the training schools learning a real world job, many graduate with certificates and professional licenses, more are on their way to that state, and all get a great experience. There's IT, nursing, electronics, drafting/design, electrical/HVAC and whatnot, machining, farming, construction, auto-repair and quite a few other subjects. Some of my classmates were building heathkit robots and computers before our school had computers for students.
IIRC, the kids in my graduating class missed chorus, band, and some science and math courses mostly because by the time they start vocational training they've already had algebra and geometry, and didn't need trig and calculus for state diplomas.
Seemed pretty reasonable then, seems like a wise choice today.
Kittinger is an actual hero. He should be celebrated up there with the pioneers of flight from the Wright brothers to the Astronauts in American history books, indeed world wide. He didn't just do it first. He did it first and he repeated multiple jumps. He suffered discomfort and injury. And he volunteered.
His service after those jumps was just as hero worthy, hell, his life after retiring from the military, with the first solo Atlantic crossing and other records places him in the books, yet again.
He's one of the last true aviation pioneers, if you ever get a chance to meet him in person, have him sign his own autobiography, it is an interesting read to say the least.
Lybia (though that one is a lie), Egypt, Yemen, Lebanon, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Indonesia and Bangkok more than 20 nations saw violent demonstrations. using the movie as an excuse to call for world-wide bans on insulting one dead guy.
Even an annoyance should never happen. The logical response to a movie insulting your favorite person isn't to burn something, it's to watch the movie and counter it with more free speech.
I hope more movies like this are made, maybe after the 10,000th movie, they would get sick of protesting and grow some tollerance.
You do understand that the world wide Christian response to the move The Last Temptation of Christ, a major motion picture, is nothing, no where, not even close to the world wide Muslim response to a shitty low budget attrocity of an amateur film by a no-budget nobody, right? That the vast majority of radical Christians maybe, maybe considered picketing and a boycot as a valid response?
That the two responses two the two movies are not just orders of magnitude different, but on completely different planes of existance different?
That if a major motion picture studio published the same level of movie about Muhammed that the studio would likely burn?
One story, of one attack? Versus how many hundreds of deaths, and thousands of attacks in the past week?
Hell there were death to america marches when a completely different country published CARTOONS.
facebook only got listed on an exchange because it was time for the dump in the pump-and-dump. The concerns behind it simply turned the key on the next phase, dumped their stock on useful idiots and corrupt investment banks, and walked away with their billions. They don't care about the value of the company, the fact that it's listed on an exchange, or the future of the company. They got theirs. You won't get yours.
You don't need a whole machine shop. A lathe and a mill is enough.
I direct people's attention to home-printed magazines for rifles and pistols. You can have up to a 10 round magazine and be legal in my state, but a 3d printer and plans for 100 round mags? Still legal, until you print it, but that's just the magazine.
When it all comes down to it, how can you print a plastic chamber and barrel, the part of the gun that's going to receive the most energy? You could probably print a.22 with today's plastics, but not more than that, IMO, the barrel would burst pretty fast. That's only a guess, of course. Maybe build one in plastic, but wrap it in steel banding or maybe slide a steel sleeve into the barrel.
Even still, whose going to print the gun? Criminals?
I understand where you're coming from, it can reach out and touch someone who is a disinterested third party. still, what's "secure". locked in your home, is that enough? locked in a gun safe is too much? because it's not available to use in an emergency?
When seconds count, are you going to be fumbling through a key chain, or already racking a round into the chamber?

LOL, you think the end result of that will be democracy?
I thought 1984 had surveillance everywhere, posts on the sidewalks, etc.
I thought they never came out and said it, but Fahrenheit 451 the TV was in use as a surveilence device.
time to re-read them both
there's a lot of "dumb" in this group of answers all throughout. people advocating all sorts of rediculous things.

have you ever cooked satisfactory bacon in a microwave? I mean, hey, it's still bacon, but it's not optimal bacon.
so all I have to do is move to Ecuador?1?!?
isn't this the equivalent of an EMP? just using shorter wavelengths? So it's going to cook anything that has a micro circuit in it, even if it's off.
Fry: That's not an astronaut, it's a TV comedian! And he was just using space travel as a metaphor for beating his wife.
you graduated in 1775? ;-)

that does sound like fun, my kid is bored as hell in school science, but I bet a little burn time with our friend thermite would perk him right up.

Just for the record, I want to know this.

Maybe you need to talk to someone who knows how WW2 worked. Get an education, and all that.

my beef is they don't work. The original galaxy S' gps doesn't work. At all. Rooted though, it tethers nicely. Can we still tether on the new one?

bull shit. A gun is a tool like any other. You're comparing a hammer to the hand that uses it.
hell yes, this. His greeting cards, Christmas cards, Valentine's Day cards are freaking awesome.
green is people, the other ones were assumed to be not people, but veggie based wafers. But then again, so was the green variety... So who knows.
