Comment Re:Rather Have a Map of Assualt Rifle Owners (Score 2) 1232

Move to California or NJ or CT or NY or MA, and you can enjoy your false sense of security.

BTW, REAL assault weapons are almost impossible to get due to NFA of 1934 and Hughes of 86. What you're so terrified of are rifles that only LOOK like assault rifles. But considering the stupidity of your statement, I highly doubt you have the IQ to understand the difference.

WRONG.

A gun is designed to accelerate a lead and copper projectile. Some of these projectiles have properties that are suitable for stopping a medium sized mammal such as a deer or human. A deer rifle in 308 winchester would be an good example.

And some are designed for totally different purposes. A rifle in 17HMR is not likely to kill someone if you shot them with it, but it's an excellent platform for small game such as rabbits, squirrels, etc.

Stop spouting gun control bullshit and learn some REAL facts for a change.

Comment Back in the good old days of Syndicate..... (Score 1) 431

I used to love taking a squad armed to the max with the latest in death dealing goodies, and wiping out everything that moved :)

Anyone remember the mission where you were supposed to assassinate a political figure, and he's giving a speech to a HUGE crowd?

Lets just say flame throwers were truly epic for that mission (evil grin).

Comment Apple ships slow crappy 5400rpm hard drives (Score 1) 627

I was shocked to see that Apple was shipping slow 5400 rpm drives on $2000+ computers. On a $500 beater, i understand the logic of cutting $10 off the build cost (and sacrificing 20% of the disk I/O performance) by using a 5400 rpm drive (vs a 7200) , but jesus Apple, you really must be trying to squeeze every last dollar for Jobs's coke habit these days to pull such a boner move.

Comment its because of fed.gov I run my own mail server (Score 3, Informative) 228

When the fascists at the NSA and FBI started their massive domestic spying program (Echelon, Carnivore, etc), I decided to make their lives harder and run my own mail server. While they can still snoop on the big boys (yahoo, aol, msn, etc), at least email from my end is safe, and if I send emails to non US based mail servers over SSL, theres at least some chance the fascists cant read the traffic.
