I'm guessing that it's some sort of hardened flexible rubber that you slide up the pistol grip or it's photoshopped. Still, awesome.

Awesome.

If Lance confessed, cancer will win. He was the only one fighting for cancer awareness. I fear the public will soon forget about cancer

If they manage to get a comprehensive patch for EQMac I might be tempted to buy a second hand mac and give a serious attempt at leveling up. Any patch will have a work around I'm sure, the only question will be how public and accessible the work around will be.

So they patched EQMac so that PC's can't log in now? If so, maybe EQMac stands a chance.

My concern is the push for a national AWB. Media speculation is Obama is going to announce some sort of political move / demand for an AWB tomorrow along with those Biden recommendations.

EQMac is fun and has a lot of classic features no emulated projects has been able to duplicate yet, but I'll readily admit never got to the raid scene on it. Being a PC user the game has limitations and I'm not sure if they have been fixed yet or if they are even intended to be fixed by...

Reading that I wonder if there are any semi-automatic rifles that would be legal in New York. Some of those features don't affect the "safety" or "risk" of owning a weapon with that characteristic. It looks like Obama plans to announce a push for some sort of "assault" weapons ban.

I agree, that's how democracy should work imo. States should be allowed to set up their own laws. Unfortunately, when it comes to gun control, you get people arguing their state's gun laws should apply to all states like earlier in this thread. The argument being they want to take away the...

I'm going to guess they include the dissenting votes. I find it interesting that every time I mention don't ban guns people blow their load and think I'm saying guns shouldn't be regulated. So much strawmanning.

I'm pointing out the irony in your statement. The people of new york live in this bubble where there isn't a possible reason to own these newly banned weapons. Nobody is against regulating guns, they are against banning guns because people living in a city are ignorant of gun uses and can't...

I know right, it's silly to think New York might have wilderness or hunting areas. The entire state is just one big city.

So much ignorance about guns in New York. I guess they need to have their boogyman and now that they've made all these weapons illegal they will be safe now. Give it a few years and we will have more statistics to point to that show banning guns doesn't stop people from getting shot.

Yes, I understand that the article first makes the claim that armstrong confessed, then has some information about him saying sorry but not outright confession, then says he didn't outright confess at all at the end. I'm starting to suspect you didn't even read the entire article before your...

Yes, which is why I was even more confused by that other paragraph I quoted from the same article. They seem to be conflicting accounts of what happened. All will be revealed soon enough then we can tear apart his confession and find out which parts are just lies and which parts were...

It's nothing specific to this emulator, pretty much every EQ project gets attacked for some reason or another lol. Definitely looking forward to trying a different take on classic EQ with this project.

The part where I read an LA Times article here. http://www.latimes.com/sports/sports...,4926551.story "The [[Source]] also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk but he did not make a direct confession to using banned drugs. He said he would try...

Armstrong seems like the best troll ever. He walks right up to the line but doesn't confess just to keep the cycling fanatics gnashing their teeth at him. Eagerly awaiting all the cycling fans waving the pitchforks because he didn't confess hard enough.

Epic battle for control of the firepots.

Nice article. "The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk but he did not make a direct confession to using banned drugs. He said he would try to restore the foundation's reputation and urged the group to continue fighting for the...

EQMac has it's own issues (especially for non mac users) but I agree it is the best classic to PoP server currently operating.

I think when the framers wrote the constitution and first amendment they had quills and the printing press in mind.

http://www.thebulletproofpatriot.com...ance-and-fear/ "Assault" weapons should definitely be major focus in reducing violence.

Worth a shot when it's released either way imo. I don't think MQ or RMT is a problem specific to Toop or this server. There is hope is my view and reason to try it when it gets released. Other servers already are RMT / MQ cockblocks. This one isn't yet, it might turn out different...

Well, here are the current player rules on the server. I'm sure it's subject to change and I think most of the GM headaches resulting from raid drama should be handled by dynamic raid spawns. http://epicemu.com/forum/server-player-rules You will note that it mentions GM's will be allowed...

It fluctuates but I haven't seen it bump above 100 before. Nirgon has the right analysis of the situation though, many people don't want to help beta test a server after having done it many times before. A lot of people I've spoken to are just waiting for the server to go live. Beta...

I haven't played EQ in a while so I'm not going to be burnt out whenever a new server goes up. I'm going to enter it with an open mind and see how the release goes. It certainly sounds like the server is going a different route than the other projects in development so I'll be interested to...

I agree, I don't think Armstrong is some sort of super human. I just don't see this conclusive evidence the USADA keeps saying they have. I mean if they had said "we have strong suspicion he doped and will ban him in the future" I could support that.

This seems like a reasonable recommendation. "The vice president's recommendations are likely to include a variety of ways to bolster prosecutions under existing gun laws, collect more information about gun violence and improve databases for background checks, including more financing for...

A company withdrawing sponsorship is not proof of guilt or innocence as you seem to imply. Many companies stay away from controversial topics to minimize risk. The USADA banning Armstrong was a new level of controversy and seems to have bypassed the risk / reward factor for Nike. It's this sort...

I understand that sports can and should ban people for less than conclusive evidence, but the USADA has been portraying these witness statements as conclusive and undeniable proof he doped. Did he dope, I have no idea. I certainly think it's in the realm of possibility but I don't know. We...

It's definitely fun to play on. I messed around on the beta a bit and It's been coming along nicely. They have done a lot of work on the AC system and testing out the raid content so AC won't be pointless like in many of the other emulators. The Sleeper has the potential to expand to a...

This is the type of hypocrisy that permeates politics in the US. Consider evidence or statements contrary to your beliefs and disregard it because it doesn't conform to your world view. Quite the progressive thinker you are. I'm sure a system could be set up for parents afraid of guns...

What does that have to do with anything I said? I realize you are super invested in cycling and all that. To me witness plea bargain / settlement statements alone aren't enough to convince me of anything in the absence of physical evidence of some sort. They should work together to tell a...

How simple can it be stated, people aren't asking for guns to be mandated in classrooms. They are suggesting local communities have the option to vote and choose for themselves without an overly protective federal government making that choice for them. If there was stronger statistics to...

So much strawmanning going on in this thread. I might need a concealed flamethrower permit to burn it all down.

Teachers accidentally shooting students is also insanely rare, even before the Gun Free Schools Act. Why is it important to maintain that law? Communities deciding whether they want teachers to have guns is fine by me. Trying to say armed teachers is more dangerous than the rare school...

I'm sure when a teacher does eventually stop a shooter, people will just say "You can't have known if the gunmen wouldn't have had a change of heart and stopped!!11"

I figured a little common sense regulation would work here. How about a regulation, no cleaning guns on campus?
