Not sure how you can listen to a suppressed gun firing a not know that it was a gun shot. Anytime I've been around suppressed firearms I can always tell where the shooter is, but maybe since I'm more familiar with firearms it's easier for me.
Whatever, if we are resorting to personal attacks...
Anyone that hears a super-sonic round crack anywhere near them will know it's a gun shot.
In response to Duppin, you wouldn't use one for big game but for varmint, coyote, hog, etc they are really nice because of the frequency of fire.
I stand by that statement. For me it's a safety and noise issue for people that live near shooters or people at gun ranges. Downrange you still get the super sonic crack (on most calibers) so you can't claim that it makes gun fire unnoticeable but it does make it far more tolerable to live...
Even with ear protection hearing damage can occur and the sound of gun shots carry realllly well. Even with tons of space between you and your neighbor they can still get annoyed. Trust me I know.
It's even a bigger issue at a range where tons of shots are going off. Doubly so in an indoor...
OMG DUDE WHY WITH THE LATE QUOTES. You are making my brain hurt when scrolling down through threads.
Anyways, I've been running Win 8 at home and work since release and the only issue I have is that numlock is always off at the login screen. Doesn't matter what I set it to in the bios it...
I'm just wondering what everyone is going to say about these reasonable restrictions when the dems win the house at the midterm and they can then push through whatever bill they want. I'm really not worried about what the government can do currently, but we do have a few people who vote dem who...
First of all, they don't launch straight up. Normally they launch in an easterly direction. Also, they use multistage boosters to put it in the correct orbit.
As for understanding about orbits - just think of it as if you throw a ball really really hard into orbit it will keep falling but...
Microsoft missed an opportunity to grab a large portion of the market and push the new OS. If they would have sold Surface RT a loss at like $199 I think they would have had great success and built up their ecosystem.
With windows 8 the shutdown button puts your computer into a hibernate like state. You can force it to shutdown fully (like for a hardware change) through the command line. I consider this to be a "cold boot". When you press restart on a win 8 machine I'm pretty sure it does a full cold reboot...
Those boot times are not true "cold boot" though. If you do an actual force boot on my machine I've found Win 7 boots 4-5 seconds faster than a real cold boot Win 8. The normal "shutdown" bootup of Win 8 is like 15 seconds faster than Win 7 though.
