Indeed. The only person "guaranteed" do understand that firing a gun on a plane (especially in/near the cockpit) is stupid would be the same pilots. They would also be the ones you'd most want to be able to defend themselves.
I quote "guaranteed" because there are exceptions - but if the pilots don't realize this you're already in trouble.
For sure, you don't - because I was talking about the seed being able to reproduce. "Dead" seeds blowing into a neighbor's crop does nothing at all, since all they will do is decompose or dry out since they are not viable. See my comment here to see what I was trying to say.
No, I'm saying they can engineer a plant so that a given pair of plants offspring cannot produce seed (think if it as a plant version of the mule). However, they can still produce pollen, so they are not really sterile, they just can't reproduce themselves - the pollen can fertilize a different species/cultivar.
Yep. Because if they didn't share the code, then the software wouldn't have been allowed in. The "big pay off" was being allowed to sell the product to them.
But you just contradicted yourself and restated my own point. I did not mean concentrated specifically in one location. I think I just lack the word to explain it properly, but you did just illustrate an example of what I was intending to say.
Since the US is so spread out, and the gun-heavy population tends to be concentrated together, such data would merely tell the military OODLES of valuable information for deployments, should the "shit ever go down." Not to mention how informative is is to know "5 people own 50 weapons of tactical value" than it is to know there are roughly 50 such guns in the county.
If they don't have the data, they have to do lots of other work to figure it out, and the accuracy of this work would be lower for a variety of reasons, including human error.
Don't forget the bloody birth of the USA. A lot of us know the past, see the present, and thus fear the future. A very large amount of us have a shockingly sparse trust for our government - especially these days - and the pessimist in me does not see this trend doing anything other then strengthen.
Eh. My point was that I think Sun Tzu is much more credible than Schlock Mercenary. Whomever that is; I've never heard of them. Since the two quotes are in contradiction, I'd say the one by Sun Tzu supercedes.
Super-Duper Important Point that You Apparently Forgot About: My post was my opinion. We're all allowed to have them and they do not have to be rational.
The pressure in the case makes it expand into the chamber walls temporarily. This significantly reinforces the bolt. All firearms with a cased cartridge do this, from tiny revolves up to breech-loading artillery.

I appreciate you grouping me with a bunch of crazies that I don't agree with.
Oh wait a minute... no, I don't. Shut the hell up.
You mean like now?
With regulations that are currently ignored, with no recourse at all, since suing the government won't work?
Bullshit. Well, not about the lack of professionalism. But you can actually have a chance to win if you sue a company.
You clearly don't understand a word about what you think you do.

Agreed. I wasn't supporting the idea, just outlining how it was supposed to work.
For sure, you don't - because I was talking about the seed being able to reproduce. "Dead" seeds blowing into a neighbor's crop does nothing at all, since all they will do is decompose or dry out since they are not viable. See my comment here to see what I was trying to say.

The -IDEA- is that said company would license it out fairly, so they get some profit from it while everyone can benefit.
When you have asswipes that just hide them under the bed and don't share for a reasonable price, the system breaks down.
Even assholes are in the the right to call someone a jerk for kicking a puppy.
Yep. Just because the plant can't produce a seed (pollen or no) they call it sterile.
That's like calling a man sterile because he can't give birth.
Heck they probably got a pretty big pay off.
Yep. Because if they didn't share the code, then the software wouldn't have been allowed in. The "big pay off" was being allowed to sell the product to them.
But they do have to code it in, which influences the other code and saps hours from all parts of development.
Who played Crysis for multiplayer? Cheaters apparently. I never even tried, I just enjoyed the single-player game.
My point was you were being an asshole with your [citation needed], so you got an asshole snark reply back.
At least I was kind enough to explain it to you without being patronizing.
So, for you: -2 asshole
A citation is also the fancy term for a traffic ticket. See also the point system for that part.
OK. You're up to 2 points on your posting license now. Best be careful.
But you just contradicted yourself and restated my own point. I did not mean concentrated specifically in one location. I think I just lack the word to explain it properly, but you did just illustrate an example of what I was intending to say.
Agreed 100%.
HCF should remain a mere joke.

Lets not forget that it doesn't say "it was BOB!" but only that "This might have been Bob... but it definitely wasn't Jim."
However, it would make it very easy for the victim here to prove that the police shot their dog. See, silver lining!

Need moar caseless ammunition.
