  1. Huh? on XBox Chip With Legal BIOS · · Score: 1

    "With such beasts there is not much left in the way of want-to-be Linux Xbox hackers who might have been affraid until now to have to deal with delicate hardware intricacies or reluctant to run the whole town for a vendor willing to mod their Xbox at the smallest fee."

    Beasts? Run the whole town? For a vendor to mod their xbox? What the flock are you talking about? What town?

    "The wealthy who currently pay a tiny percentage in taxes (or nothing, remember Leona Helmsley's quote 'Only little people pay taxes') would never let this happen."

    What about the wealhiest 5 percent that pay more than half of the nations taxes? Would they let it happen also?

    It's funny you mention that, considering the huge amount of corporate crimes going on; Enron, WorldCom, Adelphia, etc... So I guess your answer is 'Yes'.

  10. Re:I own many firearms but none are available... on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 1

    My father kept his handgun in the first drawer of his dresser. It was directly under a small towel. It was fully loaded and ready to fire. It was in the same location my entire life living with him.

    My father sat me down when I was very young, showed me exactly where the gun was located, what it was and explained why I should never ever touch it. He explained the same thing to my sister and brother.

    The gun was never, ever to this very day, touched by anyone but my father.

    I have a 3 month old now and will soon have a firearm of my own for home protection. It won't be put in a safe, or in a vault, or locked in a closet in a box. It will be right next to me in a top drawer under a small towel. And my daughter is going to know exactly where it is.

  11. This is a STUPID solution! on New Jersey Enacts 'Smart Gun' Law · · Score: 1

    So I go to a test range and the gun 'learns' my grip. Yeah. Great.

    So now when someone breaks into my house and is about to kill/rape my wife or kid and I'm scared shitless and holding my gun with a deathgrip it might or might NOT fire.

    Fucking wonderful. Wonderful dumbshit law that should NEVER EVER HAPPEN.

    Don't they have this backwards? Shouldn't this be a DO call list? These companies can only call the numbers on this list that people sign up for wanting these telemarketing calls.

    The big deal is that you spend 10 minutes a week now deleting what you don't want. In a year you could be spending 15-20 minutes, year after that 25 minutes. That's why it's a big deal.

    You have some serious problems, equating rape, killing animals and shooting people to.... running a packet sniffer on a game to show a map. Do yourself and everyone here a favor, tuyrn off the computer. Step outside, that bright thing in the sky is the sun.
