To put things into perspective, SAS does something (not as extreme) similar:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_House   http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/day-princess-diana-joined-sas-147138  

[quote name="bersaguy" post="1126458" timestamp="1395166478"]I only have one auto pay bill and that is netflix. I pay all my bills either on line or with a check each month. I have never really put that much trust in the auto pay programs even though my bank has told me that they will protect me from any possible abuse of it I just don't have that kind of trust in utility companies and other people having access to my bank accounts.............jmho[/quote] The majority of my auto bill payments are setup on my bank's side. The E-Bill gets sent to my bank. There are settings on my online banking that I can set (pay when bill arrives, pay 10 days before due, pay 3 days before due, etc). I trust it more than making payments in the mail. In fact, the only issue I have had since adopting the strategy is one time my bank sent my rent payment via USPS (a it always does), and USPS lost it. It was taken care of though. Keep in mind, if you pay by check "they" already have your account information. It is printed on the bottom of the check:) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Magic Jelly Bean was what I used. I think I will try this on my wife's laptop. Running stupid OEM Windows. If I can successfully download one of the official .iso's I'll give it a go.

Surefire X300 Ultra   You could give me two Streamlights and I would sell them both to fund an X300 Ultra. I compared my Surefire to a buddy's TLR-1. The difference was astounding. The Streamlight will get the job done, the Surefire will excel at the job and ask for (and deserve) a promotion. I know it is a few more $, but save a little bit more for another few weeks and go for it.

So PalmSlap got slapped on the wrist?   EPIC!

[quote name="Oh Shoot" post="1126042" timestamp="1395104516"]No mystery about the Lusitania, hundreds of survivors too. - OS[/quote] Sure. A passenger boat being sunk by a sub is going to leave more survivors than an airliner struck by a SAM. Same concept if need be. Not saying that is what happened but it has just as much possibility having happened as many of the theories floating around. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[quote name="TankerHC" post="1126033" timestamp="1395103087"]Hey, I am not a Pilot. Guess I'm going to have to come up with another theory. So here's one. This whole thing bears a great number of similarities to the USS Eldridge incident. I bet if a reporter were to ask the US Navy would deny this one also. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk 2[/quote] Interesting. I was thinking it was possibly quite close to the Lusitania. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  Buyers do not matter if there are terror plots in store for the plane or if a country wanted it done for political reasons.   Not saying that it was stolen or hidden, but think about this.   If the plane was indeed headed in another direction, that means that either the pilots or someone on the plane decided it was going in another direction. Were someone hellbent on suicide, why fly the plane in another direction for so long? Why not just crash the plane immediately? If they changed direction for a certain amount of time without intentionally crashing the plane, they were either headed somewhere or lost due to an equipment malfunction (I'm not a pilot but I assume equipment could fail and cause loss of precise direction). If they were headed to a specific location, they either got there or were shot down by a foreign government/crashed. Perhaps it was a flight 93 type accident; The pilots/hijackers were up to no good and the passengers became aware and put a stop to it by crashing the plane. If they arrived, that means that there is a conspiracy (literally, two or more people had to have been involved).   Or this is all fabricated to take the west's eyes off of what is going on in Russia and the Ukraine. Perhaps Putin is even behind it himself.   Or maybe it crashed into a vast ocean and it will take years to find it, but what is the likelihood of that?

Awesome. I did borrow his recovery discs that he had burnt. It is now up and running and downloading all one million Windows updates. It was on SP1 when it was first installed.   Thanks!

  That explains a lot. On the bottom of the computer there is a code for Windows. However, I use free open source software to export the key from his installation. They were different. They key I exported is a legitimate Windows key, isn't it?   And then of course, since I have never had to type in the key when installing from an OEM recovery disc, it's burnt onto the disc isn't it?   Thus, if someone could get one of the .iso's downloaded, you could install a 100% Microsoft version of Windows 7 with no added bloatware, right?

  I forgot to mention the coupon, but I did use it. So I went with the separator version. How do you get by without the separator?

I just figured that I would do it the stainless way the first time rather than spending $40-$100 setting up a vibratory tumbler setup and then wish I'd put that towards a stainless one. Hopefully the motor will last a long time on this one.   By the way, I as wondering about attempting to tumble other people's brass for them. Would there be much interest in a service such as this? What would fair pricing be? I could load 2lbs to 4lbs of brass in each load.   According to STM, 2lbs of brass equals the following quantities:   300 Ultra Mag 50-75   300 Mag 60-75   30-06  70-100   7mm Rem Mag 60- 80   7wsm 60-75   .308 80-120 pieces   .223 150-180 pieces   .45 160-180 pieces   .40 210-220 pieces   9mm-230 pieces   50 BMG 25-40 pieces   .243  90-125

This thread begs the question, why exactly is the purpose of corrosive primers? I understand that it is the mercury in the corrosive primers that makes them corrosive. Was it used for lower cost production, long term storage/reliability, or simply an older way of doing things than the way we do modern non-corrosive primers?

Contrary to what many people said was unnecessary, someone on this thread who's username starts with a "C" and ends in a unit of measurement may have bought the following last night:   http://www.stainlesstumblingmedia.com/products/package-kits/stm-complete-package.html

  Yeah...no kidding.

  Primers and powder in a tightly sealed metal can. Bad idea?

I got his burnt recovery discs. Trying them now. Unless they are corrupt I am good to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I thought that was the case but I am trying anyway. When he bought the computer new it did not come with any discs. Instead it prompted him to burn them, which he did. He reinstalled 7 using this disc, either the disc or the installation was extremely corrupted. The hardware is fine. I just installed an inactivated Windows 7 and it runs fine. When he reinstalled it a week ago not a single thing worked right. Sony wants $35 for the discs. If I cannot get this to work I will try his burnt restore discs again.

Or, if you want, try and download:   http://msft.digitalrivercontent.net/win/X17-24209.iso   and then send me a Dropbox link if it is 3.1 GB after being downloaded.   DigitalRiver is Microsoft.

I am trying to fix a buddies laptop and I am in need of a Windows 7 Home Premium disc. I've tried downloading X17-58997 and X17-24209 from Microsoft, but the download keeps getting killed halfway through. It is supposed to be 3.1 GB and ends up being around 2 GB. I think the image is corrupt on their end.   I just need an .iso/disc, I already have a license key.   Also, this is a Sony VGN-NW235F. They key is what came with it. Do I need an official Sony OEM Recovery disc or can I install stock Windows 7 Home Premium with the "Sony" Windows 7 key and then install all necessary drivers?   In other words, is a Windows 7 Home Premium key a Windows 7 Home Premium key and can be installed either OEM Recovery or stock Windows 7 Home Premium?

So, I think most people are able to admit that Glocks are plenty reliable. However, how accurate would you expect them to be? I am still trying to learn how to efficiently and accurately shoot Glocks. In my opinion, they are plenty accurate enough because Hickock45 proves it shooting long range with them. Any tips or reading materials for shooting Glocks? Now that I have nearly started reloading I can finally practice practice practice! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  The same chance that a number 2 could come through you current faucet! This is simply taking the fresh water that would typically go into your tank and rerouting it an additional foot upward.
