Here Comes The Assault on Hoosier Gun Owners
Sunday, November 20th, 2005It has been slowly building for some time now but it finally looks like the all out assault on Hoosier’s rights is ramping into full swing. How ignorant to believe that banning firearms is the solution to especially violent crime. Nationally crime is at a 30+ year low. If guns and citizens carrying them was [...]
The Great Cholesterol Myth
Sunday, November 20th, 2005Finally… someone exposing The Great Cholesterol Myth. Its long but worth the read and reflection.
Cringely: Google-Mart
Sunday, November 20th, 2005From a technology point Cringely’s Google-Mart article is fascinating. But considering the ramifications of it is rather scary. Consider the size of Microsoft as an economic and technological force in the world. Now imagine what it will take to overcome that. Still a freight container with 5000 processors and 3.5 peabyes of storage is impressive. [...]
USMC Gets Shoulder Launched Thermobaric Weapon
Sunday, November 20th, 2005And some are trying to spin it as a Brutal New Weapon. I’m glad for the boys – new toys are always cool but they’re even more cool when they work as advertised.

I have to say, that is the most impressive out of the box combo I’ve ever worked with, especially considering the price. I’d say in about 45 minutes I was able to install the software and make J2EE “Hello [...]
Half of All Americans OK With Torture
Sunday, November 20th, 2005As I would expect the American populace is much less sqeemish on “torture” than the media or politicians which is made ever so clear based on what passes as torture these days. I’m personally opposed to real torture simply because it is one of the things, value of life and humanity, that separates us from [...]
SAS make Three Simultaneously Head Shots
Sunday, November 20th, 2005It looks like the British are putting the .338′s to good use in Iraq. Each team was equipped with L115A .338 sniper rifles, capable of killing at up to 1,000 yards. Actually the .338 will do better than that. We often hear about the effectiveness of the .50 BMG and there are numerous videos around [...]
Winchesters to Kalashnikovs
Sunday, November 20th, 2005I find it interesting that the AK, Automat Kalashnikov, has been twisted to mean a bad guy’s weapon. I maintain that one of the first rifles to come into the “assault rifle” fold was the Winchester repeater so it is perfectly apt thatCowboys should take up AK47s to combat drug runners on Mexican frontier. An [...]
