How is this patentable?

I used to put 8 out of 10 shots in a man sized target from 500 meters with an M-16A1 when I was in the Corps, and the grouping was smaller than the distance from heart to hind quater of a deer.

Most people don't take shots from nearly that far away when hunting. If you can't be within two feet of your point of aim from normal hunting ranges the problem isn't with the rifle.

Not that I'm a warming denier, or think that things shouldn't be done to make our species impact on the environment smaller. But you do realize that there wasn't a glacier there 400 years ago right?

Although no fan of George the First, I see nothing wrong with naming an aircraft carrier after a president who was a naval aviator. Now the USS Ronald Regan, that's another story.

I've been taking some online classes through http://coursera.org/, when I log in from work where I'm only allowed to use IE on Win7 I get a big banner telling me to upgrade to a modern browser.
I can stil view the site, access the video lectures, take multiple choice quizzes, and most everything else but for some reason it won't allow me to submit essay type quizzes.

I remember when Mandrake use to show pictures of bulldozers and other heavy equipment while the packages were installed.

So it's OK if I shoot my friend in the face?

Now the name of the governor in Blazing Saddles makes sense to me.

That's what he meant by adding a 60 Hz hum.

Have you ever served in a branch of the US armed forces? Granted its been more than 20 since I was in the Corps, but we were always trained to know each others jobs, and having junior Marines take leadership roles.

Once had a guy at work do an entire engine system schematic for the E-2C in Paint because the project manager was too cheap to buy an Autocad seat. It was very impressive, but took four times as long to complete, and was a bitch to edit.

My son and I still use G4 Luxo lamp type iMacs as DAW machines, and experience less latency than the P4 based PC my band uses which has speciality audio gear installed in it.

I prefer AC/DC covered by a bluegrass band. http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/6852994/a/Back+in+Bluegrass%3A+The+Bluegrass+Tribute+AC%2FDC.htm

When the recording industry was first getting started it was sheet music publishers that got all up in arms over the new "disruptive" technology that was eating into their sales. However they seemed to have adaptive fairly well over the last hundred years or so.

The recording industry will survive. Just not at the levels they once did. Lather, rinse, repeat for the next major shift.
