    No, it doesn't. Leaving that meme tied up in the basement would be doing everyone a favor.

    We can flag comments as spam, but not "stories" such as this. Hmm.

    Enable the canonical repo (it's there but disabled in your sources list) and you are free to install it if you wish.

    Oops, the stress of your false claim that I posses child pornography made me forget the key.

    Amazon doesn't get to choose the tax rate. Complain to your local government.

  10. Re:Not cost competitive on IBM Models Human Blood System To Build Solar Power Prototype · · Score: 1

    The idea is that the large power requirement is centralized, so that higher-efficiency higher-efficient processes could be used to provide said industry.

    Not everyone can have a hydroelectric generator in their back yard, but it makes sense that a panel plant might.

    So, environmental responsibility doesn't matter at all? It's not just dollars, you know.

    I'm pretty sure Japan is not a Western country.

    Yea, that sounds like quite the expensive operation. Since you're the expert, how do you propose to do such a thing? Keep in mind you have to support a huge data set and remain responsive.

  16. I called several gun stores, shooting ranges, hunting stores etc in my area and I found a whopping 3 boxes of .30 available. In northeast Atlanta.

    If I want to buy it online these days, I'm going to be buying it by the case. I don't have $700 to spend on ammunition, and I don't want a 2,000 round case either.

    Digital trunking radios can be 'scanned' easily with the proper equipment.

  18. Re:One Suspect Dead on One Boston Marathon Bomb Suspect Dead, Other At Large After Shootout With Police · · Score: 1

    Your First Law has a problem: different firearms have different effective ranges.

    For example, my .30 long rifle can reach out and touch someone from far enough away they couldn't even see you. A compact .38 revolver isn't really effective until you're up in their personal space.

    Humans are a lot more fragile than the average wild animal. Enough to put someone out is dangerously close to enough to put them down.

    "Good with guns"? Out of all the cops chasing them, they hit 2.

    Unless you're a marksman or SF, that's just about right.

  21. I hope you bleed out in a ditch.

  22. How about you [citation needed] every damn cop I've ever met?

  23. ... because the military is full of people, and (because of the training) a large amount of them enjoy running and the like?

  24. Someone is doing it, because the scarcity of available of ammunition is certainly true.
