I can't believe this story was accepted when the one directly below it in the link was about how you could purchase "Space Yeast" that was in space during this storm. And you get a package of control, regular yeast too! I wonder if the loaf of bread made from it will be stretchy, invisible, turn into rock, or catch on fire?

I'm thinking Bada. It goes better with their search engine name. They will need another web based product they call Boom.

Bada Bing, Bada Boom.

Many potential candidates using IE are applying from their current job where they are forced to use IE. If someone is looking for a new job while they are on the clock at their current position, they may be more inclined to be doing so at their next job too. Just a thought.

She probably hadn't watched Dr. Strangelove.

According to an article posted yesterday it can be either. Your stylistic convention is just different from the GP. ;-)

If you are even considering an ergonomic keyboard, look at the Kinesis Advantage. It takes a fairly short time to get used to, but it's worth it. My only complaint is that you need to toggle the right side keys for the number pad, or buy one separately.

I don't do much gaming or any serious coding anymore, but I found it to be excellent for gaming. And the keys can be remapped and you can create macros. I think I paid an extra $10 to have keys with both Qwerty and Dvorak labels as you can toggle between them. I still haven't gotten around to learning Dvorak, but I keep telling myself that I will.

Or you can go to this site and then go to the NASA site and destroy all of the asteroids that way.

I've used NeverLost a few times and judging by the directions I've gotten, I'd say the brightness sure doesn't need be be set any lower.

Adam West, is that you? Or William Shatner?

I'm well aware of it. Hell they're bought submarines. But why go through all the trouble of getting a .50 cal? And you sure as hell don't set up a freaking automatic .50 cal turret in downtown LA. If you're going to spend that kind of money, a Stinger surface-to-air missile makes a lot more sense. It's not going to cost much more and you are damn near guaranteed to slag an LAPD chopper.

But the repercussions of doing so are not good in the long term. Once some cartel does that, it's likely marshal law will go into effect and the national guard will outgun anything a crime ring will have. I'm pretty sure they know this, or it would have happened already. That's why using hunting rifles would be the simplest, and probably safest option. Once you light up the LAPD with military grade hardware, the US military will make the next move.

That's not simple at all, and probably damn easy to track back to you. A single shot .50 will probably set you back $2K+. One with a clip will be $8K if your are lucky. And an automatic is not something that you carry around, it will need to be mounted. And you'll need to have a license to own it, or find one you can steal. It's not like there are a lot of people who have a .50 cal, so you can't just go buy ammo at your local Walmart either.

You can pick up a cheap 30.06 for a couple hundred bucks. and probably a good enough scope for another $100. Even if you don't cause a catastrophic failure to a helicopter, you will most likely ground it with a single hit. and the cost to make it flight worthy again will probably be pretty damn high.

I'd guess that this program helps with crime that's not mainly done by gangs, or other criminal organizations. If it did, it would be rather easy to get a bunch of guys with hunting rifles to take shots at them. But I don't think you are going to see your average criminals organizing this.

Different times. I think They should try it again. Just look how little collateral there is with modern avionics in drones. I'm sure firing 6000 rounds per minute from a 20mm rotary cannon in LA will work out much better with today's technology. Besides, that hole in the skyscraper wouldn't have happened if Roy Scheider hadn't stolen their thunder.

I can predict with an extremely high degree of certainty that it's not going to go down.

Over time, they should end up costing less. Unless you don't pay for your electricity.

Thermite. It's all over in seconds.
