  1. Removing mandatory registration or mandatory registration?
  2. I get what you're trying to do, but is there a way to implement a userbase increase in another way? IE # of threads, time on site, etc etc? Mandatory registration helps but it can hurt as well. Examples are, sending links to someone, posting on Facebook, advertisers... Yes mandatory registration adds to the userbase but over time you end up getting more and more 0-1 post users... people get links from friends and then when they go to read the link they are forced to register... lots register, but lots are also put off and just say "forget it"... Or at least give us a way to link/email threads and bypass the user registration. please
  3. Very cool. One thing that really impresses me with Kholster is their lifetime warranty, but specifically the stuff below... NO EMPHASIS ADDED... this is his words directly from his website.
  4. You should put your mouth on that.
  5. http://www.tradingmarkets.com/.site/news/Stock%20News/2752402/ Here's the quote of the day
  6. How do you react to a crashing plane? Better right?
  7. "Guns allowed, but we must provide the ammo"... but I'm only "against" it in the sense that I have to make a compromise since our current restrictions are so dumb.
  8. Yah, I can't remember a time when a military flight was hijacked... or attempted hijacking... or an accidental discharge... or... well you get the idea.
  9. No way! I'm peaceful as a spring meadow.
  10. Bumping this... someone like Brittany Murphy dies while this one lives... http://www.digitalspy.com/showbiz/news/a192914/amy-winehouse-collapses-at-home.html
  11. I like this iPhone story better http://consumerist.com/2009/12/att-customer-service-new-york-city-is-not-ready-for-the-iphone.html
  12. No no, guns didn't cause that. Box cutters did. <---- makes you a hacker <----- makes you a terrorist <---- makes you a murderer
  13. Why would accidental discharge be any more common in an airplane then when I'm driving in my car? Now I agree, checking ammo is tedious... but, hear me out. What if the TSA offered ammo exchange or mag checks? Couple options there... if the TSA simply said "we only allow XYZ brand frangible rounds... you may purchase these rounds in the airport after security checkpoints. Please no loaded magazines pre-security" Then all they have to do is proactively check that firearms are unloaded (like at the gun show).... Now, I'm "against" this type of restrictions, but it's clearly better than what we have now.
  14. Srsly, tits or gtfo.... erm, pics please, sorry flashbacks.
  15. Fonz has flexed his "I'm a mod now, be warned" enough I think, it's subsided quite a bit in the last few days Here's the line as far as I can tell, note these are examples. UP, you're a retarded "insert racial/ethnic/religious slur" (over the line) UP, I'm going to kick your ass because you're a neo-conservative (over the line) UP, you're a retarded neo-conservative (over the line anywhere but DQ) Man, you neo-conservatives are retarded (acceptable anywhere, but getting frowned upon?) But this is just my guessing, we'll wait for one of our newly (very active) mods to correct me, as usual
  16. You guys should go back and watch Mythbusters episode... shooting a gun in a pressurized cabin won't cause the world to explode... I'll go ahead and ruin the ending... nothing happens. Although I agree on the other accounts, too hard to establish a safe beyond target in an airplane, EVERYWHERE you aim you'll have people behind your target.
  17. And just to stoke the coals a little more... it stands to reason the same argument for concealed carry stands on an airplane. Criminals/terrorists/someone intent on harm WILL commit their harm, why not allow people to bring weapons? Airplanes are easy targets because they know noone has a weapon. Ok, so maybe ammunition on an airplane is a bad idea, how about knives? Asps? Blackjacks?.... does having a knife mean you're going to commit a crime? If the passengers on the flights on 9/11 had any way to defend themselves would they have?
  18. So couple things here. Flying out of JFK we had to go through security twice... once the normal thing, second time just before boarding the flight... they checked EVERYTHING. Sent it through xray, opened everything, all liquids purchased after the first checkpoint (3 hours earlier) had to have a receipt or you pitched it.... That was flying OUT of the country... flying back in they didn't even check anything... I have my CPAP as my extra carry-on, in the US they checked it at both security points (it's a square box with a bunch of wires... suspicious from Xray), most of the time they swap it for explosives as well... flying back in they stopped me, asked what it was, I said "CPAP..... respirator....*made motion like an oxygen mask" they looked at me funny then said "go ahead"... I'm fine if they want to make getting ON the plane a bit more difficult, but once you're on the plane let it fucking go, just let people relax however they can.
  19. Thanks for bumping aracnid, I went ahead and ordered mine today too. Hoblick, what'd you use to cut it? Knife or scissors?
  20. did he get Herbie Hancock blocked?
  21. Would there be enough interest to put together a NEO run for this week/weekend? Boston Mills/Brandywine
  22. VOIP reliability depends on a lot of things... I've worked at companies that are 100% VOIP and never had an issue, and I've worked at companies that are 100% hardline and have problems. It all depends on how well you do the initial install.... I'd expect HHGregg would be way better but hey, shit happens.
