@countjackula: The last time I saw them on the street for something like this they were armed with MP-5's and AUG Styers.

Seems like it'd be one hell of a way to commute provided car traffic was light.

@Drummertist v.3: Communities in the US will accept it when the International Code Council (the group that promulgates the International Building Standard) approves it.

@Benovite: Supported? Oh, I see. You mean the times when we weren't trying to bomb the shit out of him or blockading Libya. That was a five minutes period some years before the Pan Am/Lockerbie bombing.

@Platypus Man: I guess it's a good thing then, that I do the opposite :-)

@Platypus Man: It must be a function of age and expectations.

@Platypus Man: That's one of hte reasons that I refuse to use self-checkout aisles at the grocery store and home centers. If I'm doing the work of a cashier, then I should receive some discount for saving them money in salaries.

@Platypus Man: But did your flight cost you anything less? Probably not.

@Terry: Yes, both are digital. The difference is the type of graphic creation they support.

@Michael Lush: Yes. Shot down if it can be targeted. I imagine it'd be possible to dump one out of an F-117 and definitely from a B-2. The weapon carrier looked like it's something that could be added to an ALCS or Tomahawk easily enough.

@AcceleratedDragon: The surprising thing is that the CBU-97/105 (sorry, I made a typo last night) isn't delivered by an A-10. It's typically dropped by an F-16 or heavy bomber from up to 9 miles away and up to 40,000 feet and GPS guided to the target area. It's a stand-off weapon that's used once during the Iraq…

@MattyMattMatt: Thanks, MMM. But I've already stopped my intake to zero. I am content with some ginger ale or de-caff iced tea.

@Hello Mister Walrus:

@lucasway89: I'll play it safe. I'm not trusting any cloud I don't personally control to store any of my data.

How do you spell epic failure in the music media business?

@Xagest - Fix Gawker with Gawker Plus:

Maybe everyone should just rip their downloaded itunes mp3s. Then there's no worries.

You see, the thing about surviving a war, is to survive intact, or reasonably so. What isn't shown in the charts and which I believe is kind of important, is that after the battles are done that I'm able to walk away and pursue a normal life.

@ElementalDragon: You can fire dozens of .38/.357/.44 into bullet-resistant glass and it won't create a hole as large as that guy made with his hatchet. That specifically what it was designed to defeat.

Two men, one using a pickax and one using a wood maul, could have taken out the window in less than a minute.
