I hate bloggers, too narrow-minded. I'll tell you what I do like though: a commenter, a dyed-in-the-wool commenter. Cold blooded, clean, methodical and thorough. Now a real commenter, first thing he'd ask as he typed in the text box, is if it can blend.
The Internet, which you so nobly serve, comes from opinions, disorder and chaos. Now take this current blog. Here it is: peaceful, serene, boring. But if it is commented on...Look at all these little commenters! So busy now! Notice how each one is useful. A lovely ballet ensues, so full of form and color. Now, think about all those people that created them. Nerds, Geeks, hundreds of people, who will be able to create more blogs tonight, so those blogs can grow up big and strong and have little teeny blogs of their own, and so on and so forth. Thus, adding to the great chain of the internet. You see, Kaiser, by posting a little comment, I am in fact encouraging the internet. In reality, you and I are in the same business.
nah, you probably actually remembered this. they announced these features and stuff WAAAY back when (i remember reading this stuff in elementary school). i think they called it the OICW at the time.
Nothing wrong with weapons per se, but do we really need to be blowing fuck-all money on getting grenades and bullets to produce a mule?
Our military doesn't seem to be lacking in the 'stuff to kill people with' department - they're lacking in the 'keep our guys from getting killed' department. Stance on the war aside, i think there are very few among us who prefer the budget go towards new killing technologies in lieu of new not-dying technologies.
Course it's a cheaper payout if one of our guys dies, so, you know, bottom line and all.
Better my tax money go into something cool like that, rather than bailing out some old farts that can't get their act straight and run a d@mn company right.

No. THIS article or at least the XM25 has already been on gizmodo.

Yep.
No one makes weapons unless the DoD pays them tons of money.
