Gordonjcp is wrong, not AC, (I looked at the wrong line) and clarifying that I was not talking about full auto firearms as those are illegal to make without a license.
Just jumping in here to point out that AC is wrong on the illegal part as well. Making your own firearm is not illegal. Making them to sell or distribute, without a license, is.
Well, yeah, there are plenty of alternatives. Just now I went to my igoogle page to see if the weather widget was still working. It was — because I use the NOAA widget, not Google's own widget.
Google's widget is still working just fine for me.
No, it isn't. Windows 7 is the best version of Windows ever put out. Yes, there are some new things to learn with how things are done, but nothing that is outrageous.

"Q: Does the GCA prohibit anyone from making a handgun, shotgun or rifle?
With certain exceptions a firearm may be made by a non-licensee provided it is not for sale and the maker is not prohibited from possessing firearms. However, a person is prohibited from assembling a non-sporting semi-automatic rifle or non-sporting shotgun from imported parts. In addition, the making of an NFA firearm requires a tax payment and approval by ATF. An application to make a machine gun will not be approved unless documentation is submitted showing that the firearm is being made for a Federal or State agency.
[18 U.S.C. 922(o) and (r), 26 U.S.C. 5822, 27 CFR 478.39, 479.62 and 479.105]"
Therefor, as long as you are building your own gun and it doesn't fit the definition of non-sporting semi-auto rifle or non-sporting shotgun (both of which are fairly narrow) and you aren't using restricted imported parts, you can build any firearm you want as long as it also doesn't fit the definition of an NFA firearm (machine guns, destructive devices, suppressors, etc.)
Since the receiver is the "gun" part according to US law, that is all you need to circumvent any regulations. The rest of the parts can, I believe, be acquired with no or very little licensing.
First, you aren't circumventing any regulations; you are allowed to build a firearm for yourself with no licensing. Second, correct, no other part of a firearm is regulated.
Me too. I have CM9 on my Touchpad and have updated to a new nightly release about 25 times and never had any issues at all. In fact, it has been less painful than updating my previous phones to official releases.
This is what I was thinking. I used XBMC on the original XBox up into 2007 to play media from my network. It did, and always has, worked just fine. The new versions are even better, much simpler to add sources and quicker to scan directories.
it didn't seem to be for XBox when I'd originally researched it to put on there.
When did you look for it and are you talking about the XBox 360?
XBMC was originally developed only for the XBox, the original one. After the 360 came out, and the hacking of it took longer than expected, XBMC was ported to Windows, Mac OS and Linux. Now, thanksfully, they're also embracing Android which I am very happy about.
The only one of those that applies to a personal firearm is the machine gun (other NFA items as well) clause. You can make whatever kind of firearm you want other than NFA stuff.
Actually, Glocks don't have a particularly light trigger pull. The standard is about 5.5 pounds and LAPD may use the heavy NY1 trigger which is around 8 pounds. There is a light trigger as well at 3.5 pounds.
I still don't understand this. Is the ribbon interface fairly different? Yes, of course. Is it any harder to use than the menus? No, not even a little. It's all about learning where everything is and realizing that almost every function is 2 clicks or less away. It takes maybe a couple of days to find 95% of what you'll use. The benefits of Office 2007/2010 far outweigh any negatives. I use 2003 and 2007 on a daily basis and prefer 2007 by far.
Where did I say my beliefs didn't have any sort of scientific backing? The only thing I said is that I can't use it to PROVE God exists. If that means they have no scientific backing, then neither does the belief that God doesn't exist. Also, parts of my beliefs (Christianity) have been backed up by scientific findings. Many things, such as the locations of lost cities in the Bible, that people thought weren't real hundreds of years ago have been backed up by expeditions. And I'm not talking about some religious nuts going out to prove that the Bible is true; I'm talking about real scientists doing real research and coming back with real evidence. If you choose to not believe me, or them, ok.
As for Dawkins, I have not read him at length, but I am familiar with his work. He just comes across as an arrogant dick to me.
I also never said that the only reason people are nice is because they fear God. Being nice to your fellow man (until he no longer allows it, IMO) is a great way to live, no matter if you believe or not. Good on you for trying to live that way.
Lastly, I am an engineer, reasoning is how my mind works. I haven't found anything in believing that contradicts my logical thoughts. Contrary to what religious extremists (or atheist extremists for that matter) will tell you, there is no inherent contradiction between my beliefs, Christianity, and science as long as you keep an open mind regarding both principles.
I just confirmed with the company through Twitter that "their" bible app is YouVersion, which is available on any Android or iOS device. So my first suspicion was correct. They are simply trying to make money off of other people's products. Douchebaggery at its finest.

Muskets are, by definition, muzzle-loading not breach loading. Muzzle loading arms are not considered firearms by the ATF.

The fact that real work is done with lots of text
That's funny. My Solidworks models have no text at all on them and the drawings fit perfectly on a widescreen monitor.
POTS vendors have always had this policy.
Um, no they haven't. I've never heard of a phone company charging for this. It is ridiculous.

What are you talking about? It played everything I threw at it just fine.
Just so you know, the Raspberry Pi version of XBMC works perfectly and will play full 1080P video no problem. It is quite a capable little board.

By fabricating the lower receiver this gunsmith just made a new custom firearm (legal), but did not serialize it (illegal). Also a crappy plastic gun.
Incorrect. You can make a firearm for yourself without a serial number. If it is for somebody else (retail, etc.) you need a manufacturer's license and all must be serialized. http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/firearms-technology.html#commercial-parts-assembly
I would argue a very slight increase in price for a very noticeable increase in quality.

This needs to be voted up. Jack Daniel's is NOT bourbon.
