Quicktime won't play it...says it requires a compressor that it can't find...

And the installation will be even easier.

An internal modem will run you about $15. If you can use a screwdriver, you can install it yourself. Buy the modem. Read the directions. Youll either install the drivers/software (which will come with it on a CD) before or after you put the card in your machine. Just do what it says. To put the card in: turn off the computer, take the cover off, put the modem in the slot securing it with the screw, put the cover back on, turn the computer on. It's really not hard.

That site is fan-freaking-tastic Great reporting, amazing photography. Makes the mainstream media look like the shallow, lazy, biased and self-absorbed fools they are.

It used to! They wrecked that whole deal with the new rulebook 'armpit' garbage...

Chuck's got it. Has to be to division capacity - so if you're in SSP or ESP you can use an 11-round mag and be good to go (it's always polite to inform the SO that you have 11 in there so they don't thin you're loading to less than legal).

Man, I need to get these signed...

HA! ...uh oh...they added a hi-res version...

...and anybody can have a bad day to boot...or a Major League Malf. Ugh.

I did fit my MarkIV with a pot for the volume. It was a pain in the ass. Wow. I guess dryfire hasn't really caught on big...

This is totally inexcusable. All timers should have volume controls. How else are you supposed to dryfire? The CED's headphone jack is a lame solution...who wants to practice with a headphone wire dangling all over the place? And it's for practicing, what, when people are sleeping in the same room? Just put a freaking volume knob on it for crying out loud!

Your choice, but I believe that .dll is only involved in WindowsUpdate transactions, so a failure in windowsupdate is the worst you should expect...and it's already busted... If something bad happens, you can always yank it back out from safe mode or the recovery console...

44 months! Why is it that sentences never make any sense. When did justice stop being the goal? What a joke. I hope it's "up to" and they let him go with a warning, a small fine and a bill for the car...

Here's 5.4.3790.2180 of that .dll - maybe it'll work...maybe it'll kill your machine completely...that's the fun of this stuff You never know! You can also try updating the Windows Script engine. NOTE: The attached .dll is not actually a .zip file. It's a .rar compressed file that I tacked the .zip extension on to get the board software to allow the upload. I needed to use WinRar to compress it as WinZip couldn't squish it down far enough to meet the board's 500k attachment limit. So, get WinRAR installed, then remove the .zip from the filename. Dump the .dll into C:\Windows\system32 (if you dare ) wuaueng.rar.zip

WindowsUpdate is extremely flakey. There are dozens of possible reasons for it to fail - and it fails alot. When I deal with WindowsUpdate problems, I don't even bother to diagnose it anymore - first I'll just throw a batch of pre-packaged fixes at it, delete the WU Temp folder and everything in the internet cache and hope it starts working again. 95% of the time, it does. Here's a zip file of the smaller items from my WindowsUpdate Fix-It Kit. Just unzip it and run everything in there. To install the WU contols, right-click on 'iuctl.inf' and choose 'install'. Hope this helps! WU_Repair_Kit.zip

This is unavoidable...in fact, you're asking for trouble if you're putting your understanding of tactics in the hands of some random course designer.Learn your tactics with your instructor, practice your tactics at practice, call on your mastery of mechanics on match day. You're never going to fit the ever-changing state-of-the-art in tactical doctrine into the box that is IDPA. It will never happen, don't even try. If a stage offers you the opportunity to utilize tactics and procedures that you learned from your instructors, great. But don't expect it, you can't even expet that your stage designer has any clue what proper tactics in any given situation would be. It sure as hell wouldn't be charging multiple attackers, that's for sure...which eliminates about 50% of stages right there... Many self-defense instructors are IDPA MD's and designers, but not all MD's and designers are self-defense instructors...c'est la vie.

Man, that site was in need of a serious overhaul for...oh...ever.

The slide-lock reload in the open got nixed by the time the final (final final) version came out. Crying shame, that...

Springer 'loaded' with Simonich Gunner grips, ISMI springs, S&A magwell, 3M's stair tape on the frontstrap, huge swaths of the parkerizing is just...gone. It's my carry gun...

That single stage aside for a minute, the rules state that you must reload from behind cover - if cover is 'available'. The 'available' term is never defined, so we don't really know what IDPA considers 'available'. How many steps away is cover eventually deemed 'unavailable'? It's a judgement call based on stage design. If cover is 'available' (however your MD/stage designer defines it) you must reload behind it - there is no provision for doing a slide-lock reload on the way to cover. You cannot even 'initiate' the reload, that includes dropping the empty mag, until you are behind cover, as defined by the rules. You cannot break cover with an empty gun, but there is nothing that says it needs to be full, either. No. You must reload from behind cover, not 'on the way to' cover. If you are close enough to cover that it is deemed 'available' you must move to it before initiating your reload and you must complete the reload behind the cover. No, for the same reasons as the first case. Only if cover is not 'available' to you. Anytime cover is 'available', you must use it. Period.Re: the stage you described: it sounds like it is a difficult stage design re: rules application. I imagine whether you can reload on the move or not depends on how far away the 2nd cover is - is it 'available' or not? At what point does it become 'available'? Probably a good call that it was thrown out once it became clear that it was a 'borderline' stage.

Snopes says that this is for real "In 1993, the FBI was assisting the Department of Health and Human Services in investigating health care fraud. A medical organization that operated psychiatric hospitals in nine different cities had come under suspicion, and coordinated raids on all nine of its facilities were all scheduled to take place on the same day (so that none of the hospitals could alert the others). The unexpected bulk of the records seized in a morning raid of the Southwood Psychiatric Hospital in Chula Vista meant that the investigation turned into an all-day affair, and when the agent in charge of the operation realized his men were running on empty after long hours with no food, he attempted to order pizza from a local delivery outfit, placing the call now immortalized in this piece. (Contrary to what is stated in most versions of this piece, the FBI was not taping all of the hospital's calls that day: the conversation reproduced above was reconstructed from the memories of the agents present at the time.) And yes, the FBI men did get their pizzas, but not delivered — several agents had to drive over and pick them up. "

The copier destruction scene out in the field is one if the best movie moments of all time.

Coke was not green...

I'm using Comp-Tac's "UHG" single mag pouches...which are the new 'IDPA compliant' versions. Man, would I love to know what 'UHG' stands for
