A couple of points:

Great big missiles moving to intercept a (relatively) stationary ship at Mach 3 are NOT very maneuverable. They have small fins, a long fuselage, a lot of mass, and, no matter what turns they make, they must end up at a predictable and easily determined point.

Rockets, nuclear subs, aircraft carriers, cannons, Samurai swords, crossbows, Gatling guns, lasers, trebuchets, fighter jets, and the Colt .45: definitely boring. You probably couldn't find any books, movies, or television shows that involve one or more of them or the people who own and use them. 'Cause they're so…

I'll start by shooting all the Straw Men...

Yes. History teaches us that unarmed rioters love rushing the machine gun mounts.

Same. Chrome. 1366 x 768. Landscape. Facebook ad infringes on the first three lines of second paragraph.

I concur. When I try to pantomime the lighting of a cigarette with a pistol, the barrel is pointed roughly 30 to 45 degrees up.

Nope. West Coast, mostly aboard Indy, a bit on Kennedy, 92-98.

This Gizmodo reader doesn't enjoy seeing inanimate objects criminalized.

Of course they exist, just not in nearly the significant numbers they used to.

1200 MPH is about Mach 1.58 over the ground. In the American inventory, only the F-5, -15, -16, -18, -22, and -35, the T-38, and the B-1 have a chance at getting that, and most of those would need a stiff, jet stream tail wind to do so.

"Putting people out of USPS jobs" is the functional equivalent of putting people out of whale oil lamp, blacksmith, and elevator operator jobs. Technology and other, better industries have rendered all of them unnecessary. As such, anyone who is desperately hanging on to his job as a postal worker is essentially…

Sovereignty. Regardless of whether or not a country is doing anything illegal, immoral, or fattening, keeping other countries from overflying its airspace is no different than its defending its borders. If a country can't keep other people (or their machines) out, its legitimacy as a sovereign nation is in question,…

Here's the link for the Xoom. Mine is working perfectly on an unrooted WiFi model.

Although I can't see how children are salient, I can report that I have three of them: 16, 14, and 12.

Bullet shells? Really?

Regardless of whether pennies cost more than a cent to mint (which is a good point, in and of itself), the reason we should 86 pennies is because there is almost nothing one can buy with a penny. Why in the world would we want a unit of currency that is less than the least expensive common things?

It seem fairly obvious that the

Psst. It's a hydraulic hammer. That is all.
