Yes. Anybody with a cheap Harbor Freight welder and Chinese 7" mini lathe can produce a gun.

Indeed. A good example of what can be done with a bit of knowledge combined with a lathe and some very basic tools can be found in Darra, Pakistan. http://tribune.com.pk/story/458310/the-legendary-gunsmiths-of-darra-adam-khel/

I am a big coffee drinker and a very fuzzy one at that. A couple of months ago my brother in law knowing my love for coffee bought me some Kopi Luwak from in Malaysia. I cannot even begin to explain how disappointed I were in the experience of drinking this supposedly fantastic brew. I would not compare it with a cheap coffee as it do have a unique and distinct flavor and aroma that is far from unpleasant that set it apart from any other coffee I have ever had, but it certainly does not live up to the reputation it have and it is in my opinion ridiculously overrated.

I use only top quality memory cards and have shot a very large amount of pictures over the years on Nikon D200, D300 and Fujifilm X100, and tend to delete poor quality pictures on spot, but have to date never encountered this problem which lead me to suspect that perhaps many of cases you've seen might be attributed to poor quality memory cards rather than camera firmware, alternatively that I use cameras with better than average firmware. Another possibility could of course also be that in your line of work you encounter these issues on a frequent basis making it seem more prevalent than it really is, after all it probably isn't a common occurrence that you have customers walking in saying "I always delete pics in camera and have never had to do recovery".

I'm not attempting to dispute that you do see this problem frequently, but am genuinely interested in your feedback as your posts made me slightly concerned abut my in camera deleting habit.

Censorship

+ - EU Parliament censors citizens trying to contact MEPs->

TheP4st writes "Pirate Party European Parliament MEP Christian Engström writes that "Next week the European parliament will be voting on a resolution to ”ban all forms of pornography in media”. After this information became known to a wider audience, many citizens have decided to contact members of the European parliament to express their views on this issue.
This is absolutely excellent. Citizens engaging actively in the democratic process is a very positive thing, at least in my opinion. Before noon, some 350 emails had arrived in my office.
But around noon, these mails suddenly stopped arriving. When we started investigating why this happened so suddenly, we soon found out:
The IT department of the European Parliament is blocking the delivery of the emails on this issue, after some members of the parliament complained about getting emails from citizens."
