Oh, look. Speaking of fringe libertarians, here's one of /.'s more notorious ones now, here to defend the tribe's honor against an apostate.

Run along, kid. I know better than to think you're willing to change your mind about your religion.

Why do this instead of spinning up an Amazon AWS instance on demand? It shouldn't cost much to convert a source repository with that method, especially compared to buying a whole computer.

And then he turned into a neoconservative/fringe libertarian nutbar after that business with the skyscrapers in '01.

Poorly, most likely. Enfields manufactured in the subcontinent (India and Pakistan both) aren't well-regarded with respect to quality.

At any rate, rechambering will require replacing the barrel, bolt, receiver, sights, and possibly parts of the magazine. That's most of the gun already, and you're compounding your logistics problems by having a small number of guns with this specific configuration.

Closer to 1889, not 1930. The late 1880s through early 1900s was when the common military rifle cartridges of the World Wars were developed. Trivia: the .303 British was originally filled with black powder, not smokeless.

True believers don't care. True believers are much like conspiracy theorists and the religious that way: no matter how many ways you disprove their pet belief, they think there's always some angle you didn't cover.

Now. It used Gnome 2 when Dell started selling Ubuntu computers.

I know! It's terrible that I can't run the newest software on my 90 MHz Pentium with 32MB of RAM. I mean, Firefox 2.0 takes /35 seconds/ to start on the poor old thing, that's just unacceptable.

Then he's unreasonable as well as stupid.

You're going to wait a long while to get those extra features at that price. What are you, fifteen?
