Al: Your In box is still full. Please use my card ending in 3. I'll try to call today (Thursday) in response to Stefan's call -- I was traveling Wednesday.

Wow! Congratulations on your fourth anniversary and your fourteen thousandth (!) post! Great contest. Congrats in advance to the winner. :thumbs:

Looks like (acording to NRA-ILA quoted on SIG Forum) the decision announcement has been put off.... :( Being part time from Massachusetts, I'd really like the SCOTUS to hear it and re-affirm our individual rights.

Well, let's see.... Zino Davidoff is nice for early evening wear. Aqua di Gio, as MartyMcFly said, is classic; I wear it most days. When I'm not wearing AdG during the day I wear either St. Barts by Tommy Bahama, Ferrari Racing, or Jaguar. I used to wear Bulgari Black a lot, but my G/F...

Wowie zowie!! Woo Hoo!!

Which humidor is this of the three hundred? Numbers 6 and 7 are being held for me.

...and then there are revolvers. For home defense use, for something that's not going to fail -- or when it does fail, doesn't do so in a way that takes you out of action -- revolvers can't really be beat. If you pull the trigger and it doesn't go Bang!, pull the trigger again. Now, I know that...

Nice. Leave us hanging.... :whistling:

And another thing.... One of the most important things you can do is take a gun safety class. You'll meet other people in your area that you can talk to and your instructor(s) will likely have a fair amount of experience, so they'll be great resources.

Have you had any time at a local range firing different guns? I carry a SiG P226 chambered in .40 S&W and my G/F carries a Beretta 85FS "Cheetah" chambered in 9mm short (.380Auto). I have a collection comprising several dozen handguns and the most important thing, in my humble opinion, is the...

Mmmm.... :love: I like the blonde one. :p

:) Nice. I'll be passing that on one for sure!

I own a software development company. Strictly a C shop. No perl, no php, no Python, no Ruby, no Java, etc. We write programs that write programs and we build complex high-availability distributed scalable management systems. What kind of software? What language(s) do you use? How long you...

My deepest condolences. I know the pain and wish you and your wife the best memories.

Sorry. Yes, Linux is a free operating system. While it is characterized as simple to install, people with little or no experience with personal computers are perhaps not the best audience.

You using Macs? Suns? What would you like to use Linux for? I mean, what motivates you to look at Linux in the first place?

I decided years ago that my personal universe had to be a Microsoft-Free Zone. I've got the final say in my companies, so they're Microsoft-Free Zones, too. Since I've not written an operating system since the late 1970s and Linux was so complete and stable for mission-critical server...

If it's more for intellectual reasons than practical reasons, I'd say "Go for it!" :) The primary issue with laptops is that the hardware -- video cards, CD/DVD, etc -- is peculiar/particular to each model. So installing a Linux distro on a laptop can be fraught with issues. You'll pro'ly spend...

I'm curious to know, too. What sorts of things do you use your laptop for? Are you looking for a GUI or are you a command line kind o' guy? All five of my companies are strictly Mac for desktop and laptops, and the Slackware distro for all the servers in my two data centers and for the boxes we...

I seem to always have trouble with torps, so I avoid them now as a matter of course. But I've smoked several of the V Lancero and it's One Fine Smoke. Buddies at my local B&M have smoked the other vitolas and there's never been a bad word. :thumbs:
