Can any of you big brains calculate the expolsive yield produced by the kinetic impact of a 7.05 Lb object traveling at 148,291 MPH?

Do 12-ounce curls and smoking count as sports? I kid, I kid. I suppose the only actual sport I do is golf. I dont really consider it a physically demading activity because, well, I drive a cart around the course whist smoking and drinking heavily, only getting out of the cart long enough to hit my ball or ridicule one of my buddies for hitting it like a Sally.

Fascinating. The seeming scale of the picture looks like they have gotten these down to a managable size now. Wish they would have discussed the power generation/consumption of the gun and how frequently it can be fired. That's probably a state secret, don't you think? Not sure the Navy wants every country to start their own super-weapon production, now that they have just got theirs ... Lol, I suppose, if youre a stickler for "state secrets" and "national security". I was really more interested in whether or not they had worked out the kinks outlined in the Wiki article on railguns such as the rails needing replacement after almost ever shot. Also, as Gorth pointed out, they still require a ridiculous amount of juice.

I think the most ominous sound in the world is the sound of a single action revolver cylinder rotating as the hammer is locked. That soft little triple click is as loud as thunder, especially when it is coming from behind you. Heh, I would vote for the sound of a pump action shotgun. The funnest weapon Ive fired is the MAK-90 (the "sport" version of an AK-47). Great accuracy right out of the box and a satisfying sound when fired. I currently own the pistol that was my fathers back in the day when he was a cop, a Colt .357 Super Trooper II.

I cant wait for this to come back on. Caught a preview the other day that said they will be introducing another new Hero in the first episode that supposed to be uber powerful.

I may be thinking of the wrong person but doesnt Sarge kinda look like Lurch from The Addams Family? (thats not intended as an insult)

Whats a tosser? Jerk, A-hole, etc...?

More brutal? Certainly. More sloppy? I suppose. One only needs to look at the complete annihilation of Germany to see with crystal clarity how an "idea" can be, while not completely destroyed, effecivly made to be moot.

No, the problem in Iraq is that we have to be mindful of civilians and cannot properly raze locations that harbor terrorists. You cant win a fight with one hand tied behind your back.

Ah yes, that old dog and pony show. We just dont "get" them so of course the only possible action is to blow stuff up.

Thats pure lip service Sand. You dont need to kill the "idea" if you kill enough people who will act on the idea to drive it underground and make it a non-factor.

Thats pure speculation. I could just as easily counter that it could make them think man, Id really like to keep my brains in my skull, I better lay off.

^Not if that ideaology is blown out of the back of your head.

Doesnt Listerine have alcohol as a base ingredient? Much like you can get hammered on a bottle of Nyquil due to its very high percentage of alcohol. EDIT: Wiki says Listerine contains 26.9% alcohol. Thats equivalent to Schnapps.

^Elaborate please. What was the "failure to prosecute" you refer to, the sucessufl toppling of the Taliban? The institution of an elected government? The wholesale destruction of unnumeral terrorist training facilities?

What in the world are you basing that on? You somehow "just know" that if we werent involved in Iraq, Bin Laden would have been captured? Because more people on the ground = instant capture while completely ignoring the actual fact of the situation? You know, pesky thinks like his ability to slip back and forth across borders that our troops cant, receiving support throughout the region and having an entire mountain range worth of cave networks to hide in.

*fails save vs flamebait* You do realize there is a war and manhunt going on in Afghanistan right? How is that "ignoring" him?

Mistress shut it down for a variety of reasons. You can find out more poking around on her other site.

My condolences.

Didnt some high level wizard come after you relentlessly until you gave them back or died fighting him?

Im not sure about this but I consider "hyperthreading" the poor mans muliti-core processor. Also not sure about this but feel comfortable saying all Intel P4 chips have the capability. I know when I purchase from Dell for my company one of the questions they ask is do I want it on or off (hyperthreading) and that you can enable/disable it via the OS. I think default is off so that may be the case with you.

I like tattoos (have 3) but dont care for extreme piercings or modifications.
