All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

For those of you running Windows 7 (no flame wars, please, I have a nice Macbook Pro right next to me as well :) ), check out these amazing wallpapers
http://blaberize.com/2009/11/22-gorgeou ... allpapers/

The first wallpaper is the one I have on my Win 7 machines - notice how the artist generated the lighting (from a single lightsource rendering) to create a "7"...very impressive -- and quite hard to do, technically.
