The BlogStation talks through the InterTubes via a broadband router. Not one to fear new technology, I acquired an N-Band router and the requisite RangeMax Wireless-N adapters. The following real-world performance graph would have saved me $108. What we have here is a chart showing the best 10 of 20 tests, running the McAfee Internet [...]

Can I get a Co-Witness?

“Co-Witness” was a term I wasn’t familiar with until Say Uncle brought out the 6.8 SPC upper at Gunblogger Rendezvous II. Since then, it’s been added to the list of things that I ‘need’. “Co-Witness” refers to a the use of both an electronic rifle sight and a backup mechanical sight to: A) confirm the [...]

Vista SP1 Update: First Blood
Category: Admin Notes |
2 Comments
The Blog Station (Vista SP1 test, take 1) woke up dead this morning – caught in the dreaded perpetual boot, then pause, then flash of blue, then boot again loop. Running the latest build from Diskeeper (770) in a Boot-time defragmentation mode evidently makes Vista SP1 vewy, vewy angwy … or at least angry enough to hide it’s [...]

“When she pointed her handgun at the two nearest deputies, officers switched to assault rifles, hitting Sarah Marie Stanfield [30-year-old mother of three] of Boise eight times with bullets designed to break apart on impact to increase internal damage. She died last fall of multiple gunshot wounds.” This incredible quote was supposedly to illustrate: Police [...]

VPC Blog: a “terrifying example”
Category: Gun Stuff, Politics |

Internet Gun Sales (from the VPC Blog) We just plain don’t like them. The whole concept of “firearms commerce” greatly disturbs us. We’ve noticed numerous loopholes that allow a person to purchase firearms without even being seen. To combat this, several methods of advertising and purchasing firearms should be banned: * Inventory listings on websites. [...]

Having what is perhaps the ultimate EBR (evil black rifle) resting in the safe with a ‘for sale’ on it has been stressful. What I’m tempted to do is add every available option and keep it, lest this current batch of Barrett M82′s be the last. Should I? Here are the options listed at BarrettRifles.com: [...]
