Here's one I whipped up for giggles. Looks like a 110gr bullet hauls ass at close to max load...

I've done convenience stores, Kroger, somebody's office, and yep, even WalMart.

I depends. I wouldn't worry about it if I was meeting you. I know you'll protect me

I have done several deals in parking lots with TGO members. If you're worried at all, just do it during the day when people are around.

It looks to me like it's equivalent to an AK. The beauty of it is that the case and rim are the same size as a .223, so all the parts except the barrel are stock. Me... I already settled on the .458 SOCOM. Not a long range round either. It will just slap the bejesus outa something if it's in range. EDIT: BTW... the problem with any of the bigger AR-15 rounds is getting enough push behind the bullets. The gun itself isn't going to support something with the same snort as a .308

They DID change the trigger mechanism a little. Here's a good a Youtube video. What this video doesn't say is that the bump on the trigger bar is there to center it over the firing pin safety.

Naw... he's in it for the free lodging and meals. Why go back to Nigeria with that kinda deal on the way? He'll probably live longer just staying put.

Here's some stuff. Interesting caliber... 300 AAC BLACKOUT (300BLK)

Looks like his Visa will change to lifetime status now. I wonder if there will be a petition to save his sorry ass when they get ready to juice him.

Here...

I'm gonna say it one more time... I love the Mac. I just can't use it with my work tools. If computers weren't such a huge part of my job, I would be using a mac. For a home user, the Mac is great.

As what?

Garage Band will do it, and it comes with the box

Protools is still pretty much Mac driven, correct? I assume you're using something like Sadie. Last project I witnessed was on a sadie box.

Damn Mr. Earp... I'm not even gonna try to bust up that post . AutoCad cam from the DOS world. It was around forever before it was available on the Mac. FWIW, my original electronic design software (schematic capture and PCB design) was MacCad. I ran it on the Mac for years until M$oft could come up with a decent GUI. I still use it, but I use the Windows version so it can live on the same box as my other stuff. The business world NEVER bought into the Mac. I was an expert on Excel before the business community picked up on it because PC's wouldn't run it for the first several years it was out. I fought the battle and lost.

We've been doing some of that stuff for years with centralized databases. There are some things that don't require local horsepower, and a lot more that do.

My company won't be moving to the cloud. Some of our systems are cloud-like, but the data lives on our secure servers. The entire company is sitting behind a firewall. It all comes down to how a computer is going to be used. kinda like guns :-)

Macs ARE better in a lot of ways. The reason I abandoned the platform was simply that it's not the platform my industry uses. Your industry uses Macs, but it's one of the few. If I had the ability to seperate my personal machine(s) from business, I would probaby still use a Mac. I spend a large portion of my working life on a computer, and it has to be seamlessly integrated with my world.

It's an old, and very valid debate. I was beating the Mac drum as loud as anybody here before WyattEarp was a sperm cell. I even have a couple of Macbooks in my department, and I approved the purchases. They're even used for IT support on Microsoft stuff. With all that said, I live in a Microsoft world. My company has tens of thousands of Microsoft PC's on thier network. All the file and mail servers are Microsoft as well. The business world in general, is Microsoft. I'm stuck with it. You may be too if you find yourself in that world.

All true. Windows sucks. Most of us are stuck with it.

Real engineering work, in the real world. NOBODY is using Macs. I'm not so sure you need to be making those kinda comments until you get out of school.

Yep... if you do any engineering work, forget the Mac. A lot of the advantages of the Mac platform kinda went away as hardware got more powerful, and Microsoft stabilized the Windows OS. Windows was a real turd until they released the NT based versions. 2k was a decent enterprise OS, and XP was even better. We spit Vista back out, and are just now slowly working into Win7.

The Mac has always been elegant and stable. I ran one on my desk for probably 10 years. During most of that time, I also needed a machine from the DOS world to run programs that simply weren't written for the Mac. I understand the intense loyalty, 'cause I was one. I pretty much dumped the Mac when Windows 95 came out (OS 7.5). The Mac platform is STILL the best, but that wasn't the question.

Not to me, and I was an early Mac adopter (mid '80's). It's a different story if you're in a creative field.

If you only have 6 months to live, the clap ain't a big deal.
