Howdy, Y'all, When I got here in '69, everyone used "Tidewater" to refer to this region. Durnig the 70's those with political motives and influence started making noises about Tidewater sounding too much like Backwater (or Jerkwater), and the contest was on for a more PC moniker. Given our...

Howdy,

Anyone remember the last time an "A" named storm hit the Outer Banks?

Looks like the sun is trying to peek out in Chesapeake. Waiting for the front to push thru so I can open my windows.

Regards,

George

Howdy, Looks like we can all learn something from this exchange. Like it or not, those like Rick Baker will be counted among the the pro-gun activist community, and there is little we can do about it. Our best response is to recognize that truth, and move on. If we value the "cause", then ...

Ah yes... the days of punch cards... Sorry to dredge up this old thread, but the nostalgia weighs heavily upon me. Thirty-six summers have passed since I fed punch cards to the DEC10 at ODU, yet well do I remember the sound: Ten round burst Pause to gauge effect Trigger down 'til the magazine is em...

No, guys.......... the question is: What percent of employers (that's BUSINESSES) use MSIE? I've seen figures that would indicate it's more than 75%. What say you? Sounds like a good number, but I'll bet it is on the decline. The small tech firm I work for dumped our whole Outlook setup for g-mail ...

Can you take a screen shot? What version of Firefox are you using? Thanks, Jay, Funny you should ask about a screen shot, 'cause I was about ready to put a shot thru the tower. Though I couldn't claim self-defense, I'm pretty sure any court in the commonwealth would have ruled the shooting "ju...

Howdy, A few weeks ago I started purging my computers of Google's Chrome browser and replaced it with Firefox. Using Firefox, I am unable to login to the forum. Interestingly, the list of users online at the bottom of the Forum Index page will show my username, otherwise I have no indication of bein...

... why some of you think you need to be "manly" and carry .45 ACP, when data shows 9mm is usually more effective in a firefight. ...Because it is my God-given right to place my faith in momentum rather than energy, and to dispute the findings of science... I wont tell you that your way o...

Funny, At our prayer meeting this evening, it was reported that someone on our prayer list (a publication containing the names of persons with prayer needs, generally church members or persons known to church members) had threatened legal action unless they were removed from the list. Reminds me of ...

Howdy, Rick,

How can the 2A community respond to these escalating attacks on our ability to access markets and financial services? I'm ready to dump my Google browser and search engine, but it strikes me that a more effective course of action is called for. Suggestions, anyone?

Regards, George

Actually, George, the problem with Biblical or God-based morality isn't that much of a problem. For example, we can look at the Commandment "thou shall not commit murder". Should that be enforced by government? Of course. Why? The victim would be deprived of his life. On the other hand, w...

So, pi = tiny motherboard, then? Forgive me, as much as geekery interests me, its rather difficult to keep up with, these days... [ Post made via Mobile Device ] http://vagunforum.net/images/mobile.png Not just a mobo, but the whole computer sans OS. But yes, really tiny and low power consumption, ...

Howdy, Y'all A lot of good points. One that deserves further discussion is the so-called "morality" that so-called "conservatives" are "wanting the State to enforce". For example, they want the State to outlaw prostitution because its immoral. Yet, if you read the Bible...

Howdy, Yall, For those who believe, Leviticus 19:19 "'Keep my decrees. "'Do not mate different kinds of animals. "'Do not plant your field with two kinds of seed. "'Do not wear clothing woven of two kinds of material. For those who choose not to, Don't you see the danger, John, i...

Howdy, C Google rentals in 23325 Duplex and single family homes in Norfolk Highlands, a Chesapeake neighborhood 7-1/2 miles from ODU. 'bout 30 min drive most days, depending on traffic. The downside is that the most direct route takes you thru the rough part of Norfolk. CC aint permitted on campus, ...

Howdy, Y'all, The men and women who wear (or wore) the uniform of this nation's armed forces represent our best and brightest, and deserve our respect, admiration, and gratitude. Nevertheless, we have reason to be concerned regardless of the truth of the story in the OP. While comparisons of our mil...

Howdy,

Google "Frangible self-defense ammunition" and "Green Elite™ Duty & Training". Found some interesting stuff esp. on LE related sites, though some of it is dated.

Regards,

George

Howdy, Something to keep in mind while searching for this magic bullet is not that it must be unable to penetrate drywall, but that it must lose enough energy (or momentum, but lets not start THAT argument just yet) to no longer be lethal after penetrating two layers of 1/2 " drywall with a 3 -...

Howdy, One thing the article didn't make clear is that the danger is in the browser plug-in, which should be disabled or set to PROMPT. Java 7 v10 installs a CPL applet to let you do that. The JRE is ok for those applications that require it. Yeah, a lot of us less-than-technical types have apps and...
