From most to least abhorrent, McCain (somebody flash a queen of hearts at him, see what happens), Romney (a true RINO from one of our Eastern Coastal People's Republics) and the Huckster (please, no more Arkansas governors).
Or going into the ministry. Those are what appeal to me.
And yes, it's been more work than play for a few years. There's just something wearing about answering "why is my computer|Windows slow" 30 times a week.
Momentum need not be conserved in the Matrix, it being explicitly a simulation.
From the article:
With the string of new kung fu films out (they run the gamut from The Matrix to Charlie's Angels), you just can't escape the small matter of bad physics. Yeah, the action scenes look great and all, but in reality momentum is conserved, such that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. So, when you see a gal kick someone across the room, technically, the kicker (or holder of a gun) must fly across the room in the opposite direction - unless she has a back against the wall.
Re bullets:
8. The Sparking Bullet. The problem here is that bullets are generally made of lead because it's dense and soft, and you don't want the bullets scarring the steel of the gun barrel. Ever notice that no sparks fly from the front of the gun? That's because you're seeing lead bullets.
Some bullets (cheap furrin import. Novosibirsk LVE, anyone? Norinco?) are (or have been in the past -- not sure of their current legal status here in the United State) steel core, and has been known to spark.
No matter. Gun handling and gun effects in movies is routinely horrendously wrong. Click-click-click on an empty chamber in a Glock? WRONG! Can't happen. And get your idiot finger off! the trigger! Rant rant rant.....
And.....I have found that getting a good backup with MS Backup on W2K3 Server and SBS2003 to be problematic, at least to tape.
Interesting news. I am scheduled to cut over a customer of ours from SBS2000 to SBS2003 this week. I'll need to check exactly what's on the OEM disks I have.
Boot the legitimate Windows install disk. At some point early on you'll be given the option to do a repair install, or to install a new copy of Windows. Choose repair install.
I don't hate Windows Vista, and I certainly don't hate Microsoft for disappointing me and countless other customers with a product that doesn't even come close to meeting its original promises.
Happens with every release of Windows. The happy users just keep coming back. Classic abusive relationship.
I quote one to three hours for cleaning a malware infestation. If it takes longer than that, bring in your restore disks, 'cause it's time to save off your files and start from scratch.
I spend my days fixing computer stuff for people. I'd rather not spend my nights and weekends fixing my own kit.
I also have no great desire anymore to be entertained. I find most everything offered for my entertainment in these times to be vile, stupid or both. I loathe TeeVee. I'd much rather have a couple rooms lined with bookshelves.

Gyrojet, an 50's era rocket gun, cheap to make, not cheap to shoot, and notoriously inaccurate.
The guy to read on this is the late Bruce Metzger.

I'll be voting for Dr. Paul, thank you.
Do we see them in the real world?
AHEM!
This is Daleygrad. They have gun control there. [sarcasm]Which of course means the story about armed intruders is patently bogus.[/sarcasm]
"Our long national nightmare is finally over." (This particular one, anyway.)
And it's no use complaining to the "tech support" script reader about it.

Local SS offices are running W2K, which is consistent with the age of the hardware (Compaq PIIIs).

Glock parts, that's what I'd make.
About half the incandescents in our house have been replaced. More to come.
:-).
I'd blow it on ammunition anyway.
Unforgettable novel.
I miss the early Byte magazine. Later Byte was just another trade rag. "15 dot matrix printers compared." [YAWWWWWN!] Boo-ring.
Byte still owes me for a half year subscription, from when they finally bailed. I never got notice of anything they were offering to replace it with.

The story's told. It might be time to let it lie.
There are always two. A master and an apprentice.
