I hear this one all the time, and with all due respect, it's just not true.

There are quite a few guys in law enforcement who are so good as to inspire awe and envy in even the best civilian shooters. Unfortunately, those officers are in the minority. Most police officers are only required to shoot twice a year for qualifications. For many, that's the only time they spend at the range.

This CSS code can crash Internet Explorer 6 if embedded in a page:

IE7 appears to load the page, but if you open a new tab, it crashes on navigation.

Try it here. You've been warned. Firefox, Opera, Safari and text-mode users aren't affected.

I can't take credit for this, unfortunately. Hamachiya discovered this a few days ago, and it's repeated here. Apparently, mshtml.dll looks at it as a rogue request and closes down.

This is another unfortunate example of Explorer's continuing inability to handle the most basic …

I’ve had many positive experiences on eBay, and I consider it a great way to find obscure items. The feedback system is a great incentive for both buyers and sellers to operate in a professional and honest manner. Having had so many transactions go as smoothly as they did, I suppose it was time for the pendulum to swing to the wrong end.

Nope, he claims that it's due to a flood of weapons being purchased in other states and trucked in.

In order to bolster his political ego rid his fine city of crime, he's taken to suing gun dealers in other states.

"Wow," you might think, "doesn't that cross all sorts of jurisdictional lines? Doesn't it trample States' Rights? Isn't this way beyond his authority or scope?"

You'd be right. Of course, that hasn't stopped him. After all, he's talking about running for President, so I suppose he needs practice in trampling civil rights.
