Sure a properly maintained M60 may be reliable. The M60 just does not compare to the 240 in any way. The 240 is so reliable you can hold a belt of ammo, pull the trigger and watch the gun pull its-self toward the belt of ammo! The point is

Yeah I bought and read tons of books on my Palm OS devices. I didn't bother downloading any of them from Peanut Press.

If your 3rd gen Kindle is a first class reading device then what class is a paperback/hardback book in?

"Many people can and will read on smartphones/tablets, but almost nobody prefers long-form reading on a backlit device to an ereader (that's excluding comics and textbooks)." I agree that e-ink is probably superior for reading but it's goin

It seemed pedantic to act like I couldn't make a leap of imagination. Seriously, can you define the Apple-sphere in any meaningful way? I made a best guess; but wanted to make it clear that all I did was guess; i.e. I don't actually know, f

Asbestos mittens, or a derivative, are not unique to the 60. It's pretty much crew served with barrel changes that require the mitten. Most gun teams would carry the barrels in a heat/fire proof case. After you swap out a hot barrel you lay

I can think of only two situations where I ever used full-auto on an M4; clearing a trench and clearing bunkers; i.e. suppressive fire. I would absolutely not use full-auto to clear a room. Room clearing requires highly disciplined and disc

I'd just like to add that the M60 is a dog and always has been a dog. The 240G and 240B were and are superior in every way. It's been a long time but I remember, in Ranger school, discovering the that gas piston (hazy on the actual part) wo

"When the Galaxy Note came out it was bashed by the Apple-sphere with incredible intensity. That should have been a good hint that it would do well : very well." Plenty of things are bashed by the Apple-sphere, what ever that is, and those

I'm not sure why you draw a distinction between biographies, documentaries and entertainment. The Social Network was not true. I'm pretty sure we would've been just as entertained by the truth. The best we can hope for is that we learn some

I actually feel the opposite about this whole phone size thing. I wish Apple would go back to the previous size. Also I've tried out other, larger, phones and they're just not as convenient for me to use.

Yes, I would argue that the children already had an incentive to work. Now the supplier, assuming the supplier pays for all this, has a strong incentive not to let them work.

I'm not sure i agree with your over-all point, but I have to say Microsoft bundling a browser probably helped move the Internet rather than hinder it.

In one case we are talking about the absence of software/support; the iPhone does not ship with Flash. Actively preventing software from running is another; Apple preventing jailbreaking. Now, who do I blame for my iPad mini's lack of an An

The GP has already answered your question but I can't help asking what does this prove? If the GP said "no I honestly don't see a place for Android" would that make him less honest or bias? He may be wrong or right but I'm not sure how you

Pretty much any toolbar or banner that persists, while I'm scrolling, bugs me. It's especially annoying when I zoom in on a paragraph and a persistent, full size, toolbar looms over content.

I'm using a Mac mini and Plex (a fork of XBMC). I'm very happy with the setup.

Just wanted to point out that searching on the term 'gun' probably skews towards those who beleive in stricter legislation.

I got a chance to play with a friends Nexus 4 and it's a pretty smooth experience. Thanks for the input.

Yeah, I just found it in the story! I was an early user of Pheonix but never bothered to learn the history behind the browser.

I can't help but notice you don't mention what "real computer", "real work" and "great bargain" mean to you.

Now I'm curious (I haven't used a newer Android phone). Is this common to Android phones or just the newest Nexus?

I think I'm missing something. This article seems to be the context behind self-exploration with none of the enlightenment that should come with self-exploration i.e. no substance. There also seems to be some needless theorizing about the i
