A pity no one in England can own a handgun. Imagine if someone on this bus had a CCW.

But, then again, who wants to play "What if"...

Re: the Gabby Giffords situation -- Out of the 313 million people in the United States, how many CCW users experienced that same scenario, and handled him/her self the same way? How many time since then? I find the act of one person not a sensible argument against the ownership and use of handguns by the American people.

As far as carrying a weapon on a plane? No. A terrorist would give up his life to have someone else fire a weapon and puncture the skin of the plane, causing destructive decompression. Having said that, I have no problem with anyone in the crew of every plane being trained and armed with guns loaded with frangible cartridges.

When a person is in public, the act of taking pictures of that person is not stalking. That's where paparazzi's, traffic cameras, bank cameras, etc. proliferate to become a pain in the butt, but one that is protected under the 1st Amendment. It's when this intrusion becomes obsessive with attempts at contact including unwanted phone calls, emails, etc. into the public person's private life that it becomes stalking. It has nothing to do with upholding laws that only suit ones needs. You've completely failed to understand the purpose of this whole subject.

... and then bill them for the rescue, plus add on interest for what they previously owed...

Rights are defined. Responsibility is not. Who decides what is "responsibility" and when responsibility trumps rights?

Then please, by all means, if it can be shown overwhelmingly, show us. And at the same time, show us how a true statement can be "deliberately misleading and disingenuous at best".

Skellum0, who get to decide who's able to demonstrate proficiency and responsibility? And, please, on the 10th anniversary of the space shuttle Columbia tragedy, and just days after the 26th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger, and in the light of the overwhelming success of the TSA, don't say "the Government".



Obvious like the Sandy Hook tragedy? Obvious like the drive by shootings in Chicago and other cities? Obvious like the 16 year old girl in Atlanta that was in the inaugural parade? You were aware that the Newtown CT Board of Education is calling for the placement of armed police officers in the town's four elementary schools as a precautionary measure, weren't you?

Outside of Volcano House looking at Kilauea Caldera and Halemaumau Crater with Mauna Loa rising off to the right. These pictures were from my first digital camera, a Minolta 1500EX purchased for the trip in 2000, and the quality suffers from the as yet unrealized technology and my own unfamiliarity with the camera. This was also my first ever attempt at a panorama, and, of course, had the settings on automatic (which explains the difference in exposure and color as I panned). The second shot is from inside Volcano House in the restaurant. Other Kilauea sites from where we took pictures going around the Crater Rim road are now off limits due to the ongoing activity in Halemaumau Crater, but you can still get to Jagger Museum which has an excellent view of the crater. You can still go down the Chain of Craters road to get to the coast and the lava field from the current eruption of Puʻu ʻOʻo.
Of course, I'd love to go back now that my camera's a good bit more advanced.

No, you can't tether the A65 or the A77, although you can the A99. There's a push by many A65, A77 owners to have a firmware update, but it hasn't happened yet. There is a HDMI output if your laptop has the HDMI input. Just google "A65 tether".

I upgraded to the A65 from the Minolta Maxxum 7D. All the Minota lenses work perfectly well with the A65, but my main lens is a Tamron XR Di 28-300mm I originally purchased for the 7D. It still takes great pictures on the A65 as you can see from this picture taken the other night at the Ringling Bros Barnum & Bailey Circus in Birmingham, AL. BTW, I was over a hundred feet away from the subjects using P mode, ISO 1600, due to the continual change in color and intensity of the light on the subjects, and this picture reduced to 20% of the original size.

Attitude

They ALL think that they are human -- well, actually, better than human...

... and they may be right...

I bought my Sony Alpha 65 there back in April. Got it on 18 months NO INTEREST payments (offered on purchases over $450). No hassles, and I can pay as much monthly as I can afford as long as it's paid off in 18 months.

Also bought a stereo Bluetooth headphone ($100) with a replacement warranty over a year ago. The switch on it broke, and I was able to replace it in about 5 minutes.

I have absolutely no problem with Best Buy, but then I always know exactly what I want when I go in there.

I can truthfully say you've been a waste of my time, too.
Next time, try not to be a Joke Nazi.
Case dismissed!!!

I forget. What exactly was your case?
