  1. Tablets and note taking

    I use the Samsung Note 10.1 (with the Wacom stylus) for class note-taking. That coupled with the Lecture Notes App works really well for me. I picked up the tablet refurbished for $300, but you could even get it for $200 these days refurbished. I didn't really care about the low resolution...
  2. Pin Google Music to SD Card?

    This will only work with root. By default, Google Music stores your music (cached and/or pinned) in /data/data/com.google.android.music/files. You need to create a link to a folder on your sdcard. If you have Rom Toolbox Pro, it's as simple as creating a new folder called "files" on your...
  3. why are motorcycles legal on public roads?

    Have you been anywhere outside of the US? Try telling this to Europeans who are paying over $2.00 a LITER in gas. It's about risk mitigation. Like someone else said, you *will* die. Happens to everyone. Will you live in fear for the rest of your life? I'm sure that you participate in...
  4. Best burger review ever. 5 Guys. This is how bacon is supposed to be!

    I can list some local eateries and chains that have burgers way better than 5 Guys or even In N Out Burger. It might have something to do with having regular access to fresh beef in this area. As far as a chain fast food restaurant goes, I love Mighty Fine burgers way more than 5 Guys or In N...
  5. Is taking human life the Holy Grail of a gunowner?

    I'll bite. False. Ranchers and livestock owners have guns to defend their livestock from predatory animals. Do you eat animal meat? Do you use animal products (leather shoes, leather belt, wool blanket, etc)? If so, then you are supporting these ranchers and livestock owners' use of...
  6. Yet Another Shooting. NEAR Texas A&M

    No weapons allowed on any Texas campus: PC §46.03. PLACES WEAPONS PROHIBITED (a) A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly possesses or goes with a firearm, illegal knife, club, or prohibited weapon listed in Section 46.05(a): (1) on the...
  7. Free-to-play MMO that isn't Pay-to-Win?

    I play Fallen Earth extensively on Steam and I think that would fit your bill. You can pay money for convenience items, but 100% of the best items in the game relating to combat (weapons, armor, etc) are available to free and paid accounts alike. Primarily what people pay for is crafting to...
  8. I've been concealed carrying for a little over a year now...

    I also have a CCW permit in Texas (CHL). When I reflect on other peoples' experiences, I try to think about how a witness would describe the situation to police if it escalated. Would witnesses describe you as "standing your ground" and not trying to leave the situation? Would they describe...

  10. WTF is it with all the gun threads lately?

    Thank you for your well-thought response. I do agree with you that unless all violent crimes are went over with a fine-tooth comb, a lot of authors are going to use correlations to make statements. I am also a big proponent of the saying "correlation does not equal causation." The authors...
  11. WTF is it with all the gun threads lately?

    Geez... I'm getting a headache reading this (and other) gun threads. There is so much misinformation and opinions based on fallacy it makes my head spin. This should be a required reading for anyone posting in one of these threads...

  13. 2012 Steam Summer Sale: DEAD!

    This. I've purchased quite a few games (even outside of the summer sale) at the recommendation of you guys and I haven't been disappointed.

    My wallet weeps. Not even 2 hours in and I'm already spending money on it. :(
  15. Not all Law Enforcement Officers are bad [Youtube Video]

    I figure that with all of the bad LEO videos going around, we could use some examples of good upstanding LEO's. Here is a video of a police officer stopping and talking to a citizen filming him. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iryk9xVIkfE&feature=g-vrec He explains how his laser detector...
  16. What do you think about this? Guy open carries gun and gets stopped by police. Then..

    Actually, there are 2 types of guns you can legally open carry in Texas, neither of which are a revolver pistol or a semi-automatic pistol. You can open-carry a firearm that is not considered a "short-barrel firearm" and a pistol that does not use rim-fire or center fire ammunition. These are...
  17. So this is why police officers tend to empty their magazines when shooting.

    I'll leave this here from another thread I posted in: http://www.theppsc.org/Staff_Views/Aveni/OIS.pdf It shows that the NYPD's hit percentage in an OIS (Officer-involved shooting) from 1990-2000 was 15%.
  18. What is there to do in Louisiana?

    Lol. Funny you should mention Darrell's. I was in LC this past weekend visiting with family and we stopped in for a Darrell's special. I've got my wife hooked on it. She always looks forward to it when we are in town. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting. Leonard's is an...
  19. What is there to do in Louisiana?

    I was born and raised in Lake Charles and let me tell you... Moving to Austin, TX was the best move I could have ever made. Let me know if you want any details about places to go in Lake Charles if you choose to stop there.
  20. What are the chances of survival? Scenario inside

    A bullet may transfer a large amount of energy to its target, but it does so in a very small area. You are going to have to damage to major organs (brain, spinal cord, heart, etc) to immediately stop an assailant who continues to attack you. They will also have a large adrenaline dump in their...
  21. What are the chances of survival? Scenario inside

    This is what I wanted to find. It is a report of the NYPD and their hit percentages in an actual gunfight: http://www.theppsc.org/Staff_Views/Aveni/OIS.pdf Over the 10 year span from 1990 to 2000, the average hit percentage of an NYPD officer in a gunfight is 15%. Stop and think about that...
  22. What are the chances of survival? Scenario inside

    A few things would factor into that situation: 1. If you pull out your gun to shoot with intent to stop the threat, you are going to have a major adrenaline dump into your bloodstream, making taking your time to aim almost impossible. Even if you train at a range every single day, it's not...
  23. How are firearms handled at your work place?

    There are some, but whatever device you come up with, it can be abused. Reminded me of a similar thread that asked if you could have a mythical weapon that behaved like a gun, but was completely non-lethal and only incapacitated, would you carry it? Any such device would be used by...
  24. How do you carry a gun while jogging?

    Florida statutes excerpt: Bolded the relevant section. Looks like your state's statutes read similarly to mine. Please take a look at your states statues here: http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/ I would hate for you to be in a bad situation because you weren't familiar with your...
  25. How do you carry a gun while jogging?

    Thanks for making assumptions about my character. Last I checked, abiding by the law is the correct thing to do. When you made the statement: You were not de-escalating the situation with verbal communication. Another thing discussed in the CHL class. Witnesses who give a statement to...
  26. How do you carry a gun while jogging?

    While I do commend your efforts to get involved to resolve other people's altercations, the laws that apply to me living in Texas would not be on your side. According to Texas Penal Code 9.31: (b) The use of force against another is not justified: (4) if the actor provoked the...
  27. 30 something guys, still live with mom, not planning to move out and proud of it

    This. It's sad how the American culture dictates that you need to move out of your parent's house ASAP even though you may not be ready for it (financially, mentally, etc). Although I do not like how this TV show is portraying it either. I'm a little bias though because I generally do not...

  30. Finally obtained my CHL

    I do somewhat agree with you. Criminals won't pass any tests and will still illegally conceal-carry. I truly do think a proficiency test should be required to get a CHL, especially the risk you put yourself at by being untrained. Texas law states that if an innocent bystander is injured or...
  31. Finally obtained my CHL

    Yes, I do like the qualification as well. You also have to show that you at least know basic gun safety. The instructors open-carry at the range for safety, and they will immediately disqualify you if you do something really crazy, like point your gun at someone else. Not to mention they also...
  32. Finally obtained my CHL

    No you don't have to in Texas. If you qualify with a semi-auto pistol, you can carry any semi-auto or revolver. If you qualify with a revolver, you can only carry revolvers.
  33. Finally obtained my CHL

    Done with a Kahr CW40
  34. Finally obtained my CHL

    The great state of Texas finally granted me the right to legally conceal-carry a firearm. I'd take a picture of my license and post it, but the entire thing would be blotted out with all of the personal information on it. I can however provide a pic of my shooting qualification. For those...

    Something that piqued my interest was a thread created months back outlining the differences between Great Britain, United Kingdom, and England. Interesting bit of history there (to me anyway being from the USA).
  37. What does ATOT think about stop and frisk?

    This. Thank you for posting this ZV. I would also add that I would perform the same in a manner that is not threatening or disrespectful to the LEO. I don't want my body language and/or tone of voice to alarm or cause the LEO to become uncomfortable. Exercising your rights as a citizen...

  39. Legal Immigrants and Gun Laws

    I would look at both your state and federal laws. Reason being is that in Texas, you are allowed to purchase a gun from a private seller, which doesn't require FBI background check, identification papers, etc. I emphasize checking the state and federal laws because while it is legal in Texas...
  40. Legal Immigrants and Gun Laws

    Hell, you can get your CCW license in Texas if you are a legal immigrant. You just have to provide the proper papers: http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/administration/crime_records/chl/chlfaqs.htm
