I was really hoping for some new footage, filmed in the Middle East, of some of our MODERN weapons; The ones in this movie are all North-Korea style, Hiroshima devices, except for a couple of the big ones at bikini island. (I thouroughly recommend this movie, as well as Richard Rhodes' 'Making of' books.) The ones shown on Dr. Strangelove, which aired last weekend, (Yes, mockups, but we built ones like that) were the bigger 100 megaton Thermonuclear devices; They were ~5 ft. in dia, about 20 ft long, and wouldn't fit on an ICBM; now, we can put ~10 of these on one trident missle!!
TN does have weaker gun laws than California, and most Northern states. We don't tend to kill each other as often, so it's not a big problem. Most of us are taught how to use and have respect for guns at an early age; It would never have occurred to me to shoot at cars with my.22 rifle, which, if you'ld read the article, was the weapon used here. Now, to address the BS in your statement above:
Minors can own long guns, but you must be eighteen or over to buy them. And pass a background check.
No liscense is required to buy handguns, but minors are not allowed to possess them, and again, you must pass a background check, and there is a waiting period; interestingly enough, it WAS 21 days, until the Brady people got ahold of it, now its only five days. (Way to go!)
A gun owner is ALWAYS liable for the accidental killing of someone with their gun. If they had no reasonable means to prevent what happened, they are not held liable, which is the same burden of proof of any negligence case. And leaving a gun around for the kids to play with is forbidden by state law.
The really cool thing about our state is that we can get permits to carry concealed weapons. There have been a more than few cases of granny-types blowing away muggers that failed to take that into account.
So, to finish, I hope you stay wherever the hell you are, because TN is a nicer place without you!
...adapters in seperate computers, obviously. The promise is on the MB of my p4t533, and it only supports two drives, either R0 or R1; I run mine in R0, for the additional speed. I make backups of critical files on other machines for safety. No failures, and damn fast with two 80GB Maxtor 7200rpm drives. The rocketraid and IWILL are both highpoint controllers, and the only difference I can tell is the Iwill is ATA-100, and the rocketraid is ata133. There is no real difference in the performance of the three cards; the drives only transfer about 33Mb per second continuously; regardless of ata110,133, whatever. Big files empty the cache, which is all that ever transfers at the higher speed. (Many sessions with various benchmarks support this.)
Now for a real raid card, I've got an IBM monster that can handle up to 45 hot-swap drives; I'm ordering drives (5) to set up a raid 5 array soon, and I think that the scsi U160 will totally kick the IDE stuffs ass. But we'll see.
The cool thing about using the raid array is that UT2003 starts in a few seconds, and everything else just pops up immediately.
You can buy a lot of lawyers for $.50 priced stock that you can take to $12 with a little FUD. I hope the sec uses the RICO act to include crooked lawyers.
Obviously, The power grid was ATTACKED by TERRORISTS!!! Or, at least, when the super secret interrogations are over, it will seem so. I'm sure the rich bastards who profiteered this disaster are all on W's contributor list; Someone WILL end up being blamed; It's just unlikely the real culprit will be outed.
We, as a society, need to detect politicians early and send them to reeducation centers until the have no more urge to be a politician. Something cozy, like oh, Clockwork Orange. That, and occasional whacks with a ball bat, just to make sure the cure holds.
.. you can have the standard mouse features with the windows driver, or some of the advanced features, but not all of them, with the manufacturers drivers. Some Choice. This is with a Logitech cordless mx700, under Win2k or XP. It works perfectly well with Win98, which, as soon as I get my drives backed up, I'll be reinstalling. I like windows and dos, but not the restrictive new flavors.
I agree with your post, but tape is too much hassle and space to use. Buy a DVD writer, ($300), a stack of DVD-r's and you can do weekly backups for ~$5.
>>>>>If you got caffeine in a similar form, it would probably kill you.
I got a visual of someone doing a gram line of caffine off the table, and their head exploding. But seriously, the people who eat the 'caffine-speed' pills to stay awake for exams probably would do better to use Cocaine on the tests instead; it doesn't cause nearly as much mental cloudiness.
A lot of software was written on cocaine binges, according to 'rumors from former employees'.
According to our informat tests some time ago, we determined during the course of extreme gaming, that:
Caffine makes you predictable
Cocaine makes you unpredictable
Cannibis has little effect, except for food requirements
LSD makes the computer a neat plaything, no gaming interest
MMDA makes you lose players in pairs
Alcohol, and any other downer makes you a target in small doses or large. We could see an effect from one beer.
Now your milage may vary, but these effects were noted over a fairly large group, over a five year period.
Note: I do not condone drug use for anyone with a life.
BTW: I saw a movie (TV?) show where dudes nurse hooked him up do a ventilator before he did his heroin.
Why would her becoming another 'Talking Head' on out increasingly conglomerated, heavily biased news media have a fucking thing to do with a 'shift in attitude' on the part of the owners of those conglomerates?
The same asshole is now getting even more airtime to spew retoric.
Aren't we lucky the FCC has our interests at heart?
Just think, with the latest BS from the FCC, she might be on 'THE CHANNEL' in a year or so. (think Newspaper, TV, and Magazines all being like ClearChannel is now on radio. You can travel coast to coast and hear the same shit you hear everyday at home, now.)
I haven't bought a single thing by them since the above-mentioned statement came out.
I have heard some of their shit thru my friends, tho. I guess their talent left town with their long hair.
Whoda thunk that the guy that got fired from their band would be the one with the real talent.(Dave Mustaine)
As far as the black powder/rocket engine thing, I really hope no one tries that. Black powder burns way too fast for an engine.(BOOM!) A hint: Needs more sulfur.
Find the.pdf file circulating on the web about how to make GOOD rocket engines. (Teleflight maybe?) I got mine from alt.binaries.ebooks
Damn. I shouldn't have posted this. Now they'll make rock tumblers illegal.
This is definitely a Pump-and Dump, and this is actually good for jail time. When this gets blown to hell by IBM's lawyers, and the SEC gets involved, those profits point the way to a RICO-act prosecution, and jail time all around. Unfortunately, anyone on the bandwagon for this ride could end up with their assets siezed, and a large roommate named 'Bubba' with a penchant for forcible sodemy.

Have a nice day!
how about "-5 idiot"? That seem more appropriate, somehow...
You'ld definately have to outlaw guns first, because when you got down to outlawing meat, you REALLY wouldn't like us to still have guns.
But that's just me and everyone else I know....
oh well.
Finally: a reality TV show for the rest of us!!
