    Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant through the hard drive case itself. The platter always stopped the .22 round. The 7.62mm was way more fun. Never tried a .223 on a hard drive though.

    Hmm... I should take out my new .45 Glock and destroy a few hard drives.....

    It's not to dangerous if your not stupid about it. A friend of a friend took me out to destroy some hard drives pulled from the local hospital. Up to the gun club we went. A .22 penetrated every hard drive type we shot at. 7.62mm will blow a big freakin hole out the backside.

    Just put your hard drive out about 20-30 yards out and have fun. If you still have whole platters at the end of the day, smack 'em with a hammer a few times.

    Our tech bench has just invested in both of those tools very recently. It has saved a lot of billing time for the customers and made our techs much more productive. Those two tools have probably been the best investment our tech department has made in years.

    JBWeld is the best stuff for structural material. Add a little sand to it and it's better than concrete.

    My friend used it to weld the hub to the axel on his CJ 7 jeep. It's been like that for three years now without a problem. Feel sorry for whever has to remove it though.

    I dunno mister coward. Why don't we look at the reasons for treason. They are very clearly defined in the constitution (have you read that?).

    Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

    Mr Sandy Burgler I think fits the Aid and Comfort to the enemy (since we don't actually know the contents of the documents he stole, they could contain the names of terrorists, I know I'm stretching, but hell we don't know).

    I don't know of any person in the current administration that have waged war against the united states or have given aid and comfort to the enemy.

    The whole point behind DST in recent years is to save energy by not having to have the lights on so early. The article said that it could save something like 100,000 barrels of oil a day.

    I had to sign one of these for my current job. It's called a non-competition agreement or something like that. Basically mine said that I could not work in a related field for 180 days within 80 miles. I'm sure different companies have different requirements.

    Companies use them to protect IP or to prevent your from running of with their existing client base.

    I've hear rumors that they aren't legally binding though. If all your trained to do is code, your old company can't prevent you from making a living.

    Individuals do NOT get billion dollar contracts no matter how rich they are. Corporations get them. The rich aren't entitled to anything either, they just happen to have money to buy stuff. Your hatred for all things government/corporate has blinded you as to what the actuall discussion was about.

    Of course making more money doesn't have to be someones goal in life, but improving themselves (spiratually, health wise, knowledge) is a goal of almost every human being. But in regards to this discussion, more money would be pertinent.

    If someone want's to better themselves in someo other way than making more money, it is probable that they realize TV isn't going to help them, or the accept that TV isn't going to be a luxury they can afford.

  23. Re:-1 Troll on Who Cares if Analog TV Goes Dark? · · Score: 1

    I understand your point, and to an extent I think it's unfair also. But it seems there is a valid reason for it (posted by ConceptJunky in response to my first response to you). Since it appears that there is a valid reason for it, well I have to say tuff luck. Life sucks and is usually unfair.

    Now I've been there before. I couldn't afford cable and I couldn't get anything in on an antenne. I didn't enjoy it much, but I was able to get news through other sources (newspaper and radio), and in the end I was probably better without it (I know, this isn't the point :o).

    I should say though, I haven't looked at this issue much and haven't researched the resaons behind the decision to stop analog broadcasts. I would like to thank you though for explaining yourself further and not flaming me for my reaction to your post, even though it was a little flamey.

    Consideration would be nice, and personally I don't think this should be mandated by the government anyway, but what the hell do I know, I'm just a code monkey. But the original poster made it sound like everyone was entitled to TV, which no one is.

    On a side note, will the switch over also be about the time Duke Nukem Forever (and ever and ever) comes out?

    Why are the poor entitled to everything? I don't make enough to afford a boat, but by God the rich can afford it, so I am ENTITLED to a boat. Being poor is incentive to better yourself, in order to make more money, in order to buy those neat things like a new TV or a boat.
