8/31 What's a gun nut? Someone who believes owning a handgun is
a good idea? -- ilyas
\_ you can own 20 guns and not be a gun nut. you can hunt
and target shoot and not be a gun nut. You can have a
gun you carry at all times for protection and not be a
gun nut. A gun nut is someone who *believes* in
gun ownership as some sort of philosophical position,
not just because they want to kill deer, protect
themselves or practice their eye-hand coordination.
That's a gun nut.
\_ Oh man, I disagree with that. You can *believe*,
as a philosophical position, that gun ownership is a
right. It represents a freedom in this country
-- one right amongst many. The notion that believing
in something as a philosophical position makes you a
'nut' is absurd and belittling to anyone with an
education. While there clearly *is* a line that
differentiates a person exercising a constitutionally
given right and someone that needs clinical help, your
vague definition clearly falls short of the mark. -POC
\_ I think the PP was perhaps a bit harsh in his
definition, but I'd define a gun nut as someone who
values owning a gun in a way that goes beyond any
practical or legal uses for them. People who believe
owning a gun makes them superior in some vague
Hobbesian or machismo sense would also fall into
this category.
\_ What about people who collect guns for aesthetic
or historical reasons, like people might collect
swords or paintings? -- ilyas
\_ What does POC stand for?
\_ Police Officer Candidate
\_ Wow, nicely summed up.
\_ As long as you don't think about it, yeah.
\_ I don't understand this summary. Are the asterisks
somehow significant? I believe in life, liberty, etc.
Does that make me a life nut or a liberty nut? Of course
I believe in all the rights I think I have. What you
are saying is coming across as 'anyone who tries to
defend a position I don't agree with is a nut.' Well,
that's great, we found the nut in the conversation, and
it ain't me. Or maybe you just object to people trying
to come up with principled justifications for what
they believe in, and rather the world was just a giant
meaningless compromise between competing interest
groups. That's not nutty, that's sad and depressing.
-- ilyas
\_ alan keyes is a "gun nut"
\_ It's alarming that to some, adopting the founder's
beliefs on the possession of guns justifies
categorization as a 'nut'. Tyranny is on the horizon, and
inside every leftist is a tyrant. |

9/1 I'm looking for a good solid, cheap notebook computer. I want to
use it to gather data through a serial port in my car. Any suggestions?
\_ If you're looking for new, there are some IBM base models that
start for under $1,000
\_ I'm thinking used, probably could do fine with 500Mhz CPU or
maybe less. Just has to service serial and occationally do
a little disk I/O. I'm aiming for $500 as a budget.
\_ then a 500MHz used laptop should be well within your budget.
About a year ago, I bought a Thinkpad T20 (800MHz/256MB/20GB)
for $500 on ebay (ok, maybe I got a little lucky..)
\_ Look for a libretto on eBay/CL. They are small, cheap and should
be fast enough for what you want to do.
\_ Consider a used Thinkpad, they're quite sturdily constructed.
\_ Used thinkpads on http://www.overstock.com
\_ Related question. Are there good ways to mount a laptop in-car
for use as a GPS? There are mounts for dedicated or PDA-based
solutions, but their screens are smallish.
\_ What about that law passed this year that prohibits use of
video display device(pretty much any LCD screen) in the front of
the car?
\_ I'd keep an eye on the legal landscape regarding video displays
in the front seats if you are planning to view your data as
you drive. I'd also consider a PDA or handheld PC if all you
need is serial port capture rates. |

9/1 So the answer to the question that started all this is "yes, there are
gun nuts on the motd."
\_ what?! doesnt everyone have at least 3 pieces : one on you, one
for your car, and one for your home?
\_ All you need is one in your hands at all times. Then you won't
have to fumble around in your car or house when you really need
that gun to shoot somebody.
\_ one? one? liberal pinko fag.
\_ that wouldn't make you a gun nut. there was a nice little
discussion about it earlier this morning, but it was nuked
by a petulant gun nut.
\_ How about if you can tell every gun error made in the movies
and ID the pieces in a sec and you DO NOT play CS because
killing someone for fun isnt is as fun as if it were real.
\_ I can ID the pieces in movies pretty fast most of the time.
*looks down*. Of course half the time they aren't even
real production models, like they would glue something on
top of something else because it 'looks cool.'
I don't play CS because I think FPS games are boring and
lame and all the same really (except graphics get better
with time). The CS crowd is ... not a point in favor of
CS either. Also, comparing FPS games to shooting an
actual firearm is like comparing leisure suit larry to
sex. You are all sex nuts. -- ilyas
\_ ilyas got pwn3d! w00t!
\_ I'm not petulant. YOU'RE petulant!!!
\_ Just b/c someone wants the *RIGHT* to do something doesn't
mean that they necessarily want to exercise that *RIGHT*.
\_ No way. All pro-second amendment people are raging assholes
and psychotic and evil republicans who want to wield tripod
mounted machine guns on their hummers to clear traffic. None
would be someone like me who has never owned a gun but can
read the second amendment without putting a unique and wacky
interpretation on it. The anti-second amendment people should
try to legally change it through the constitutional processes
created for that purpose, not through activist courts. The
same goes for either party trying to invent other new rights
not in the constitution or remove ones that are clearly there.
\_ You just say that because you aren't forward
thinking enough. Everything that supports my glorious
vision is good, anything that impedes it is bad.
\_ Is it really that difficult for people to hold differing thoughts
in their brains? I respect the right of the average American to
own a gun, AND I think trigger locks, lengthy background checks,
and a ban on assault weapons is reasonable. Why does it have to be
either-or?
\_ We need to ban thoughts of mass destruction.
\_ Have to present a false dichotomy or they'll take my presciousss.
\_ Speaking of guns, kinda, what kind of guns do they use in the
Olympics? link:csua.org/u/8vi (Mainichi Daily News photo)
\_ They use 'racing guns' i.e. guns unreasonably optimized for
accuracy at the expense of everything else (aesthetics,
reliability, etc.) On a slightly unrelated note, I think it's
really lame that some sports (skiing, shooting, polevaulting)
don't standardize on equipment, which means richer country teams
come with a bigger advantage simply because they can afford state
of the art equipment. -- ilyas
\_ c.f. NASCAR which is essentially a race to see who has the
richest family to support a team.
\_ no, you're thinking of science fair.
\_ Communist!
\_ Why are you advocating an authority-based system of equipment
selection? Is it not best to let the free market decide the
best equipment?
\_ He wants athletes to be forced *at gunpoint* to use
Official Halliburton equipment! -meyers
\_ Is that one-handed thing part of the rules? Stuff for normal
guns I've seen always recommend a two-hand grip.
\_ yermom prefers the two-hand grip
\_ The level of dumbassery in this thread is truly astounding. |

9/1 Securely destroy your CD/DVDs:
http://www.primera.com/ds360_disc_shredder.html
\_ Don't CDs often have stuff you aren't supposed to breathe in
them?
\_ nuke it in the microwave.
\_ Do people really need this? If I just break a CD in half, can
someone else still repair it for reading? I thought one scratch is
enough to render a CD unreadable, let alone a crack repaired with
glue.
\_ CDs have a lot of error-correcting bits. If the crack does not
damage too much data on any given track it might be recoverable.
If you want to experiment, take a CD you don't care about and
make one long scratch radially. There's a good chance of still
reading the data.
\_ It depends what you mean by "unreadable". A CD broken in two
will not be readable by sticking it into your CD drive, but if
it contains interesting data, someone could optically scan
the surface and reconstruct it. -tom
\_ If you can very cleanly epoxy the 2 halves together, it might
read in a normal drive.
\_ This conversation reminds me of a story my mom told me.
While she was working at the high school library, some
kid came up to her and complained that the CD drive on a
particular computer wasn't working. She went over, and
found an AOL disk in the drive that had been run over by
a car and broken into five or six pieces. The kid had
taped it all back together with scotch tape, and just
couldn't understand why his CD wouldn't work. Maybe
someone should've explained error correcting bits to
him... |

9/1 Anyone else catch Arnie praising Nixon? High-larious!
\_ yeah so you were all alive back in 1968 and wanted Humphrey
don't you know anything about history, I'm talking the complete
story not just Watergate.
\_ In the draft of the speech, it was Hitler, but they softened it
a bit in the rewrite.
\_ I guess you are part of the 30% who disapprove of Arnold
in this state.
\_ Of course. He didn't slip it in secretly. And the talking heads
commented on it afterwards. What about it? What Nixon did would
not even get mention today. What happens commonly today and is
dismissed by the media and public would yield prison terms during
Nixon's era.
\_ You mean it wouldn't matter if a Republican did it. Or have you
forgotten that a blowjob in the Oval Office seems to be more
impeachable than leaking the identity of a CIA agent?
\_ Um, no. Perjury and suborning perjury. Not a blowjob.
\_ Yeah wow, lets have THIS argument again. Woohoo. You've
heard of the Nixon tape where he tells Chuck Colson to
BLOW PEOPLE UP, right?
\_ I'm not the above poster, but what does blowing
people up have to do with blowing people in the
oval office?
\_ Lying about getting a blowjob ... How many politicians
tell the truth about affairs unless confronted directly
with incontravertable evidence?
\_ Sheesh. This is such a lame attempt at
justification. He was under oath in front of a
grand jury. Lying to a grand jury is not ok no
matter who you are.
\_ Note that it appears to be ok to lie to Congress
(Reagan, Bush Sr), the SEC (Bush Jr), and to fuck
your employees even if you're married (Gingrich).
Don't be a democrat.
\_ And the earth is round and the sky is blue. All
true, but not the issue. The man should not have
been questioned about an infidelity in front of a
Grand Jury to begin with.
\_ The case was a SEXUAL HARRASSMENT CASE.
\_ which was THROWN OUT for being MERITLESS
\_ Nope. Sorry. It was in the context of the
Whitewater probe, remember?
\_ And you remember this?
"Having an affair with an intern is not a
federal crime, but lying about it, or asking
others to do so, is. And that's why
Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth
Starr's inquiry has expanded to include it.
Allegations so far involve possible perjury,
suborning perjury and obstruction of
justice."
http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/multimedia/timeline/9809/starr.report/cnn.content/starr.legal
\_ and then there's lying in front of grand jury
compared to lying about WMD's infrot of everyone.WTG!
\_ Nixon was an effective president, a crook, but a pretty good
president. -liberal
\_ So its okay to be a criminal, as long as you are an effective
criminal?
\_ Isn't that what all the Clinton lovers taught us?
\_ If lying under oath about your infidelity is wrong, I don't
want to be right!
\_ So you think infidelity is ok? Does your wife/gf know
you think that way?
\_ Nixon started out with great intentions and fell into paranoia
and dirty tricks. By the end, he was up to his neck in ethical
and legal violations, and the only thing he could think about
was trying to save his own ass.
\_ if Nixon rose from the dead, I'd vote for him
instead of gwbush.
\_ Oh no! Zombie Nixon!

\_ yeah so you were all alive back in 1968 and wanted Humphrey
don't you know anything about history, I'm talking the complete
story not just Watergate.
\_ Put your drivel at the bottom like everybody else. Ok tnx.
\_ In the draft of the speech, it was Hitler, but they softened it
a bit in the rewrite.
\_ I guess you are part of the 30% who disapprove of Arnold
in this state.
\_ I haven't taken part in this thread at all yet, but while
I had once approved of Ah-nold prior to his speech, I now
disapprove and this probably won't change. "If you still
support George W. Bush, you're still stupid."
\_ Sheesh, just trying to inject a bit of humor into this
landmine filled motd "debate"
\_ Put your drivel at the bottom like everybody else. Ok tnx.
\_ Yeah because you can win any debate by just comparing the other
guy to Hitler. This is brilliant! Now I have the key to
winning any debate on any topic! Thank you motd!
\_ What did Ah-nold actually say?
\_ "I finally arrived here in 1968. I had empty pockets, but I was
full of dreams. The presidential campaign was in full swing. I
remember watching the Nixon and Humphrey presidential race on
TV. A friend who spoke German and English, translated for me. I
heard Humphrey saying things that sounded like socialism which
is what I had just left. But then I heard Nixon speak. He was
talking about free enterprise, getting government off your back,
lowering taxes, and strengthening the military. Listening to
Nixon speak sounded more like a breath of fresh air."
\_ What's really great is that Nixon NEVER DEBATED Humphrey...
\_ Ah-nold never said he watched them debate.
\_ He has in the past, and it's what he implied. Listen
to the speech rather than just reading the transcript.
http://www.walrusmagazine.com/article.pl?sid=03/10/08/1951245&mode=nested&tid=1
\_ See, I don't see what's so bad about this. I probably
wouldn't have said it, but saying he liked what Nixon
said about economics in his campaign speech is hardly a
big deal to me.

9/1 Dear hard contact lens wearer: I'm on my second day now and
it's actually not too bad. The secret to wearing it, I think,
is to not get any tear in it. Otherwise, it'll bounce crazy.
It's kind of anti-intuitive. The more uncomfortable it is,
the more tear you get, but the more tear you get, the more
uncomfortable you get. You just have to learn to control it
subconsciously I think.
\_ hey, your contact may not been fit correctly. May be you should
get a slightly bigger lens?

9/1 I just started to work out trying to gain muscle. Someone once told
me that the right workout plan is something like this: (Let's say
machines 1,2,3 exercise the same muscles.)
Machine 1, weight=31, 10 reps. Rest 32 seconds
Machine 1, weight=50, 8 reps. Rest 36 seconds
Machine 1, weight=73, 6 reps. Rest 49 seconds
Machine 2, weight=40, 10 reps. Rest 34 seconds
Machine 3, weight=80, 8 reps. Rest 30 seconds
Machine 2, weight=118, 6 reps. Rest 42 seconds
Machine 3, weight=32, 12 reps. Rest 31 seconds
Machine 1, weight=65, 8 reps. Rest 35 seconds
Machine 3, weight=90, 6 reps. Rest 40 seconds
Machine 1, weight=29, 14 reps. Rest 30 seconds
Machine 1, weight=50, 8 reps. Rest 36 seconds
Machine 2, weight=70, 5 reps. Rest 41 seconds
Machine 2, weight=40, 10 reps. Rest 37 seconds
Machine 1, weight=78, 8 reps. Rest 30 seconds
Machine 2, weight=120, 6 reps. Rest 48 seconds
Machine 3, weight=26, 2 reps. Rest 52 seconds
Machine 3, weight=60, 8 reps. Rest 25 seconds
Machine 1, weight=84, 7 reps. Rest 82 seconds
(Then *immediately* move on to machines 4,5,6 for a different muscle.
And then you're done for the day.)
Is anything wrong with the above plan? Thanks for any info.
\_ Yeah, machine 3 should be switched with machine 1 and machine
5 with 6. Also, iteration 6 should contain 4 reps instead of 10.
(Who the fuck posts shit like this anyway? Get a fucking trainer).
\_ All that on one muscle group? I think that's far too much shit. I
think it would be more effective to do higher weights, fewer sets,
and wait longer between sets. I think that takes too long also.
\_ Yes, more weight and fewer reps will produce better results
in addition to taking less time. You want to tax the muscle.
Lots of reps of low weight doesn't help as much.
\_ I see. So does three rounds of 10+8+6 reps instead of six
rounds sound correct?
\_ If you're just starting out, spend a little cash and hire
a professional trainer for a few sessions. You learn much
useful information that way, and minimize the possibility
of injury.
\_ In addition, you need some steroids |

9/1 Cadillac Night Vision is about $2000. If I buy off shelf components,
what exactly would I need to get, from where, and for how much?
I like Night Vision but I don't like Cadillacs.
\_ Yet another distracting gimic. I would rather spend a fraction of
that money to buy Xenon headlights instead. It turns night into
day.
\_ I don't want it to see where I'm going. I want one for my
twin 40mm Mk19 autocannon popup turret so I can sneak up on
cocksuckers in their SUVs and make smoking road pancake without
them ever knowing what hit them. -John
\_ Generally I'd agree, although for anyone without autodim mirrors,
Xenons on other drivers can be very annoying to have in your
rearview.
\_ I thought the same thing too. But then I took a closer
look at a Xenon at night compared to a standard halogen
and it wasn't anymore blinding. I get more pissed of at
large SUVs on the road using their halogens than people
with Xenons. And Xenons are more projected than diffuse
so you get a more precise aim (and cutoff). The problem
with some cheapo Xenons are the lack of auto-leveling
which most decent Xenons nowdays should have.
\_ I dunno, when I see xenon lights on the other side of
the freeway, I get pissed.
\_ You must be a very angry man.
\_ I want to kill both. SUV lighting sucks. Xenon sucks.
I don't want to be blinded by either one.
\_ Agreed. I really have doubts how much is utility, and
how much is trendy-suv-starbucks-pink-is-the-new-orange
silliness.
\_ You obviously don't own a car with xenon lights.
The difference is huge and I would never own a
car without them again. As for blinding, my car
has a self-dimming rear-view mirror so it's not
a problem.
\_ Fair enough.
\_ *Your* car does. The *other* drivers you're
fucking *BLINDING!* do not!
\_ FYI, you should check out the Cadillac CTS-V. Might just change your
mind - it rivals the BMW M5. 5.7 liter V8, 400 horses, 0-60 in
4.7 seconds, 395 ft lb. of torque, track-capable handling,
huge brakes. Admittedly it doesn't have the beemer's steering
feel and compromises the handling a little bit for comfort, but
its still a monster.
\_ Wow, great marketspeak! Did you get paid to post that?
\_ Speaking of which, E60 M5 on Nurburgring:
http://home.planet.nl/~frans290/MOV04226.MPG
\_ Is it made in Germany by big-breasted blonde Aryan women?
\_ Too ugly. And expensive. Why would I want something that merely
"rivals" the real thing?
\_ To be fair, I'd give GM credit for recently reinventing
Cadillac into a sport/luxury car vendor that _indeed_ rivals
BMW, Lexus, etc. I thought this brand was going to be a toast
three years ago. Most pre-pension age people would hate to be
found dead in one of their cars. Now, GM is talking about
exporting Cadillacs into Europe again. This is a sign that
they started making cars that people would like to buy. |

below are based on a wapo article.
Maybe he's not lying, but 1) he's a top lobbyist for a defense

shouldn't ever cause a problem like that. |

8/23 Father of the Pride is RACIST! What is it about the white lions
(the white race) telling the pandas (the 'other' race) that
pandas should only date pandas? And what is it about the meek
geeky insecure unattractive panda that happily takes order from the
white lion? BOYCOTT THIS SHOW!!!
\_ what the fuck are you talking about?
\_ I know this is hard to recognize as humor, but there it is.
\_ come on troll, you can do better than this. you do know what it
means to be a species, right?
\_ FP is just boring and stupid. Who cares if it's racist? It'll be
off the air after a few more bad episodes.
\_ cuz Pandas are rare and their species would die off if they
dont mate? so maybe you are the racist? |
