My OCD won't allow me to have a Recycle Bin on the Desktop either.. Why is it always full when I just delete one file!? I like the idea of a recycle bin; having the ability to recover accidentally deleted files, but it doesn't happen enough that I need an icon on the desktop. Especially since I can access it another way..

Yeah, I get your point. But I think it would be very useful to have glasses coated in this stuff.. That would be super neat!

I love Kubuntu but the first thing I install is Synaptic. KPackageKit is not for me.

Tactical Camera 137

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday May 05, 2009 @04:51PM from the guns-make-everything-better dept.

An anonymous reader writes "What do you get when you mount a Nikon D200 with a standard rifle stock? Why a Tactical Camera of course! One that no reporter would be caught with in a war zone or covering any armed action anywhere. What started out as a tongue in cheek project for April Fools wound up being quite the successful demonstration of concept. It features a fully functional trigger; it has controls for operating the shutter and auto focus; and for the patient shots, it has a mounted bipod. Carry sling optional."
