So now Schwarzenegger has signed a bill reinforcing a 27-year-old federal regulation that is rarely enforced. I seem to remember Arizona did that and the Fed is suing them. Any bets there’s no lawsuit over this one? On the topic of the actual law I dislike it and I dislike obnoxiously loud pipes. Any nuisance [...]
Seems Verizon has released 2.2 for the DROID X. Took a whole 15 minutes to make the update. Now to see if it makes a difference other than having to dance around a new VZ Navigator icon in my apps list…

Now I’m not sure which this is so it could [...]
The Obama Administration has reversed authorization to bring 850,000 M1 Garand and Carbines into the US for the collector market. This would have been another shipment of Korean M1′s and I suspect some were heading for the DCM. For over a year proponents of the current Administration have asked for evidence of what the President [...]
