So, your think? That 1 more post to my score? WTF dude !

If you don't have anything usefull to say, STFU  :angry:

true, fags posting to get +1 postcount, anyways... I would like to own one, An Ak47 N****! [they have modified versions that only shoot one bullet when triggered] although an automatic would be nice :laugh: :D :D

i'm only 17 so i cant personally own a gun yet, but my dad owns a lot of guns (somewhere around 18 or so, last time i counted) so I have a lot of experience with pistols, shotguns, and rifles...i do plan to own at least one gun sometime in my life. i kind of like the idea of getting a concealed weapons permit and carrying a gun with me, but it's a hassle and can get you into trouble even if you're not really doing anything bad (like when you get pulled over for speeding or something, you're required to tell the cops that you are carrying a gun...so when my dad did that, the cops kind of all freaked out and called for backup even though my dad was just sitting in the car and doing nothing out of the ordinary....)

we'll see....i do think gun safety education is great, even for people who dont own guns....at least, in emergency situations, they can keep their wits about them a little bit better

:cool:

Yes I do. I own many guns, at one point when I was 19 and 20 I was collecting them. I'd post pics but the guns are no where near me (they are at my father's in NY actually) but if you want a list of everything I have still I can post it, dunno why you'd want the list tho ... lol

I don't own a gun, I never will own a gun.

Since I don't break laws then I don't need one.

I don't know anybody in jail, anybody who's been to jail or anybody that's been arrested.

I have never had my house, my car, my parents house or my parents car ever broken in to.

The only house that I have ever heard of being burglarized was somebody who bragged at the office and their co-worker's teenage son attempted to break in. He was arrested at the scene.

I have confidence that the cops would arrive within a few minutes of dialing 911 and I don't fear for my own personal protection nor my family's.

There are ways to modify the gun to fire as an automatic. I just can't remeber at the moment how

I used to have a 12gauge sawed off maussberg and a .38, but that was a long time ago, i have no need for em anymore.

it's Mossberg, btw...my dad has one of those. you cant hit the side of a barn with it....even if you're inside the damn thing....but it's mainly just for home defense. if you have an intruder and he happens to come within about 10 feet of you, he's screwed...

have you ever shot an AK-47? or just in counterstrike? i've actually shot a fully auto one before. it was fun, but it's nearly impossible to aim and goes through a lot of ammo. i guess if i somehow become massively rich or something, i might get one. but until then, i'm not going to waste the money. i rather start off with a nice handgun or something. :cool:

interesting points i guess....the only reason i ever learned about guns was because my dad. the only reason my dad ever got into guns was because his life was threatened. it was about 5 years or so before he ever owned anything other than a crappy handgun, but since then he has obviously branched out because it is a fun sport. still, you make good points. but i support my dad with his choice. if my life was threatened like his was, i would have done the same thing (although i guess my view is a little bit biased, but there's not really much of anything that i can do about that)

no because i am smart

how does not owning a gun make you smart? when you touch a gun do you automatically lose 50 I.Q. points or something?

i'm not trying to be picky, but i'm just a big fan of gun education. i think if we had more gun education (not necessarily more guns, but more gun education) a lot of the fear and rumors and myths about guns could be resolved for the general public

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
