Well, you know that things almost always come back into fascion at some point.-Renegade (July 24, 2013, 05:45 AM)
...sure does seem to be taking awhile though. 
Wouldn't Edward Snowden have something to say on that!?-TaoPhoenix (July 23, 2013, 09:38 PM)
He was scheduled to make a statement on it, but never showed up. His publicist said he was busy taking a shower & changing after pissing himself while he laughed his way into incontinence.-Renegade (July 23, 2013, 10:32 PM)
- However it does make perfect sense as obviously they wouldn't want any sort of "paper trail" documenting their own terrorist activities.Nifty! Reminds me of those super-thin 1-sided vinyl records that you used to get in books or magazines. Anyone remember those?-Renegade (July 22, 2013, 08:46 PM)
But a wireless USB device could serve to replace the MAC address there, and is far cheaper to replace (or easier to conceal) than a full laptop.-Renegade (July 22, 2013, 09:11 PM)
I'm not a real fan of the Ultra white LED light either. I just don't trust that I'm really seeing everything that I could.I don't think you are. I'm sure I read (somewhere on the Web, so it must be true...) something to the effect that you can't really use LEDs for hunting at night, because their limited spectrum messes up the human eye's depth perception.-Stoic Joker (July 22, 2013, 01:10 PM)-rjbull (July 22, 2013, 02:49 PM)
There is a tool store chain called Harbor Freight [...] I've been carrying one of their ~ 3" x 1" round flashlights in my pocket [...]They usually come 2 in a pack for $3, have a metal case, and are more impact resistant than any other flashlight I've ever had.That looks identical to the ones that started me asking the original question! There appear to be several variations on the case; with/without binocular-style rubber armour, or a plastic case. Mine has a photoluminescent green plastic case that glows in the dark like a ghost train.[/quote]
Website has them on sale now for $1-Stoic Joker (July 22, 2013, 01:10 PM)
I'm sure I can't be the only one that doesn't like the type of light that LED's put out. How do I explain this? I mean...I don't like the glowy, overall subdued light that most LED flashlights give off. I much prefer the type of light that a traditional incandescent flashlight produces. I feel that they illuminate much better than LEDs. More detail, IMO. Maybe I'm alone here?-skwire (April 04, 2013, 10:22 AM)
Nope. I agree. LEDs are just little too bright and white to suit me. Seem more like a lightning flash than the sunlight quality you get from incandescent bulbs. And they do kill your night vision and screw up depth perception as others have already noted. But I guess thats the trade-off for higher lumens, longer run times, no heat, and overall better shock resistance.-40hz (April 04, 2013, 02:35 PM)

The "government" is nothing but a group of people running the show. That group of people have turned out to be the elite "in crowd". They are mostly people that have been groomed for their positions all their lives, like the Bush's, like father, like son....-Tinman57 (July 20, 2013, 08:31 PM)
And the quality of the data is no where near the same as the Stasi, along with the endemic system of informants and fear used to get the data on a personal level. And the sample size. It's bad... but I hate making the same mistake in the other direction...-wraith808 (July 19, 2013, 11:24 AM)
Oh... Did I mention it's a wireless monitored alarm system...so it'll dial 911 for me ... That way I can concentrate on aiming..-Stoic Joker (July 18, 2013, 03:39 PM)
It's just too bad that it's the guys standing on the front porch that'll get the call.-4wd (July 18, 2013, 07:45 PM)
...Is this sort of nonsense actually marketable??-Stoic Joker (July 17, 2013, 11:43 AM)
Virally...and profitable, if you can stick ads on it that pays for impressions (rather than for clicks)-app103 (July 17, 2013, 01:03 PM)
...I wonder could a series of these be done?Buy I haven't seen a 9 people floated over from Cuba in a bathtub news report in years.-Stoic Joker (July 16, 2013, 11:35 AM)
Why bother going to that extreme when there are so many countries you could enter from besides Cuba and not have to risk drowning for?-40hz (July 16, 2013, 12:19 PM)
