    Computer help [viral issue]

    I just cleaned my friends daughters laptop by taking out the hard drive and scanning it with my computer. I used Microsoft security essentials and it found 14 trojans/viruses. I then checked it with super anti spyware and it showed clean. Just to be safe I also checked it with another machine...

    If you are stuck inside get to a corner, not under some furniture.

    Time to get another weapon! BUT WHAT!?

    It is a cheap ncStar scope I picked up at a gun show. Cheek weld is fine, but the eye relief on it is not so good. It's just a temporary solution, have already decided that I am going to put a Trijicon TA33 ACOG on it. I am just waiting on the money to appear :)

    Time to get another weapon! BUT WHAT!?

    Got my STG-556 in the other day. Have not had time to shoot it. I want to take it to an outdoor range, but the snowpocalypse has prevented that so far. It fits in the shoulder beautifully, can't wait to shoot it. Here is a crappy pic.

    Anyone going to play Star Trek Online?

    I'm playing. Did the Game Stop pre-order. I only have about 8 hours in the game, but I like it so far.

    Time to get another weapon! BUT WHAT!?

    The MSAR STG-556 and STG-E4 are deeply discounted now, about half price from 6 months ago. I just placed an order for a STG-556.

    Time to get another weapon! BUT WHAT!?

    Ack, that hurts. Someone I used to work with turned down an MP5 in the early 80's because they were asking $1800 for it. We all live and learn. I did manage to score this in the late 80's.

    One of my firearm regrets was passing on buying a Steyer AUG in the late 80's. When I can find the cash I would like to buy one of these: http://www.msarinc.com/stg556_sporting.html

    Fenix T1 Switch - Which Replacement?

    So the tailcap switch ion my T1 is toast. I need to replace it. I notice the Fenix store sells two replacement switches. The pictures they have of those switches don't really look like my switch. Fenix store customer service was not exactly helpful. They indicated that did not know which...

    Vibram FiveFingers

    If you go to a B&M store that sells them they have a foot measuring device that helps you find the right size. It basically measures from your heel to your big toe. I can imagine if you have especially long toes you may not be able to find a pair that fit properly.

    Vibram FiveFingers

    I have 2 pairs of the KSO's. I was a little skeptical when I bought my first pair, but I find them to be incredibly comfortable. I wear them pretty much all the time when not at work.

    Are PDAs dead?

    I would try to salvage it, but the screen is very dim and I have a hard time reading it.
