    Oh really? Which case? Care to quote the relevant portion of the decision? No? Because you're making up more facts to fit your own twisted worldview? I thought so.

    In past years, the deer populations of several northern U.S. states have exploded. In many places, they no longer have any natural predators. What this has lead to is starvation and rapid spread of contagions such as the wasting disease, an infection much like Mad Cow that leaves the deers' brains a mangled sponge-like mess. Especially in cases like these, not only is hunting moral, it's necessary. There also exist several organizations that take donated venison and distribute it to shelters and other hunger relief organizations.

    Sometimes I forget my own rules about feeding trolls.

    A. You mean the same amendment that also says "the people", and says NOTHING about armories. The one that prefaces its guarantee with an explanation of WHY, not a qualification?

    B. Minorities are also the ones most in need of proper self-defense. How have Democrats in New York, D.C., and L.A. helped protect them? It took a GOP mayor in NY to clean up that city and help make it safe again.

    C. Actually, they give their support to the politicians that agree with their position. That's why they backed Dean for governor in Vermont and Hunt in North Carolina, among others.

    It's obvious you're an ignorant fool with a huge chip on your shoulder, toeing the Democrat anti-gun party line, rather than look into the facts yourself.

    Well, then you're plainly living in ignorance, since you have no idea how to shoot a game animal. A proper shot hits near the shoulder, at the heart. No one would intentionally gutshot an animal, since doing so would cause it to immediately bolt and force the hunter to track, and likely lose, the animal.

    If you believe that this makes up for an animal living its life in an enclosure, packed with with hundreds of others, day and night, you're plainly delusional.

    Racist? Based on what?

    It's really quite simple. NRA members support gun rights. I think this goes without saying. Not surprisingly, many of them (us, really) do not want to give our business to people or companies who actively donate money to organizations that promote gun control legislation or fund anti-gun lawsuits. Therefore, the NRA provides a list of anti-gun people and businesses so that members who want this info can have it in order to tailor their spending practices.

    Now, please, tell me how this is racist? How is this violent?

    Actually, old games ARE as fun as I remember. This is why in the past several years, I've revisited classic favorites such as Alternate Reality: The Dungeon on my Atari 800 emulator, Dungeon Master and Road Warrior 2000 on my Atari ST emulator, Outlaws and Fallout on my PC. These are in addition to my ever-growing list of older games that I'm planning on playing now that I've given up always having the hottest and newest games.

    Wolfenstein was popular because it gave birth to the first-person shooter genre, NOT because it was the best of that genre.

  18. Re:Cool, Yes. Legal? Smart? on Build Your Own Mortar · · Score: 1
    I'm having a hard time figuring out what this is quoted from.

    It doesn't match Title 18 section 921 of the U.S. Code, which is the standard for federal weapon definitions (though they technically only apply to Chapter 44 of Title 18).

    Your text also refers to Section 179 of Title 27, which I can't even find (Title 27 covers intoxicating liquids and nearly all of it was repealed).

    You can view Title 18 secion 921 here: http://www4.law.cornell.edu/cgi-bin/htm_hl?DB=usco de18&STEMMER=en&URL=/uscode/18/921.html

  21. Retarded on SCO Fined in Munich For Linux Claims · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Some of the evidence Sontag showed us is straightforward: Sections of the Linux kernel code relating to the journaling file system and multiprocessor support are identical to the Unix System V code. He offered to show us specific sections of the Unix code, but only under a nondisclosure agreement, which we refused.
    This is just plain stupid. How can the author write with a straight face two contradictory sentences, one right after the other? Either you saw the Unix code and compared it to the Linux code, or you did not. If you didn't see the Unix code, how can you sit there and say that it's identical to the Linux code?

    We had a tank with a couple dozen of guppies and other assorted fish. During our last ice storm, our power was out for 4.5 days. All of the fish died due to hypothermia. A UPS for a fish tank isn't a terribly bad idea, as long as it can handle the power for long enough. I don't know how much power the heater and filters draw, however.
