<0> My AR is a HBAR, so the barrel can handle full automatic fire.
<1> See, they stopped putting full auto in rifles back in like, Nam, because only the first round would hit a target, and then the weapon would be uncontrollable.
<0> Need to use a compensator, then.
<1> No
<1> Compensator isn't enough
<1> Need a bipod at least
<0> Need bigger guys.
<1> Still no
<0> *shrug*
<2> what about sub machine guns . what are those ?
<1> Those are fully automatic ***ualt rifles
<0> Like a solid bolt weapon?
<1> Like the P90
<2> P90
<2> hold on
<2> let me google
<0> sub-machine... I guess that is slower than machine gun.
<1> Smaller
<2> ic
<0> Mac 90?
<2> pretty neat things
<1> P90 has a faster rate of fire than an M2 heavy machine gun
<1> But an M2 will tear **** up.
<2> M2
<1> .50 cal machine gun
<3> p90's a closer-range weapon, isn't it? I mean... it's not accurate at range, if I remember right.
<1> Yeah
<1> The P90 was developed for CQB
<2> CQB ?
<3> that top-load clip is sweet! :D
<1> Close Quarters Battle
<3> close quar... yeah.
<2> like close combat ?
<3> come on... we're geeks. Don't ask about an acronym. Figure it out. :)
<1> Yeah, close combat.
<1> Inside buildings and the like.
<2> simmy: i really have no idea what CQB means
<4> CQB? or you mean urban warfare
<1> See, the P90 is about as useful as the M249 SAW, but very much smaller.
<1> Urban warfare is CQB.
<0> For close combat I still like the AR-15/M-16 in 9mm form.
<1> I've never been a fan of 9mm for stopping power.
<1> .45 ACP is my preference.
<4> DE scares me much than a p90
<1> Though I hear .45 GAP is pretty kick ***
<0> A 9mm AR with a 10" barrel, 6" flash hider, and carbine stock. :)

<4> u counter-strike addict guys =P
<1> Also, the M16 kinda jams easily
<3> great... now my boss is into the disk management console on a windows box that's having SAN disks poitned to it... Hes' going to **** THIS up, too!
<1> Go slap him
<1> Hurry
<1> runrunrun
<5> simmy: Wouldn't this be a better thing to complain to your boss about at this point?
<5> simmy: Being a pragmatist and all.
<0> I've never played counter strike in my life.
<5> simmy: Confront him about it, what's the worst that can happen?
<5> simmy: If he actually has a history of screwing things up. You're saving the company valuable time by doing so.
<3> He has screwed up in the past. He thinks he knows what he's doing cause he's seen me do this stuff once or twice. He doesn't care that he doesn't know what he's doing. His boss thinks it's great that he's trying to expand his boundaries and learn new things. Really.
<3> This place is _SO_ ****ed up! I am actively looking for an escape.
<5> simmy: And you've confronted him about messing it up before?
<3> yep.
<6> good luck simmy
<3> yeah. thanks.
<5> simmy: You should let his boss know then.
<3> In my years of doing IT work, I've only had servers compromised by haxors/viruses/worms, etc ONCE... and it was HIS fault!
<6> That's a good way to get fired.
<5> jblack: BS.
<3> I came into this group and said "OMG! Servers aren't patched! WE MUST PATCH!"
<5> jblack: As long as they weren't looking for an excuse to fire you, that's about the most p***ive thing you can do.
<3> BossGuy said "No. Those servers are going away 'soon' so it's not worth our time."
<3> "Soon, eh? How long's that?"
<3> "6-9 months."
<3> "Too long. I'll start patching."
<3> "No. Don't patch. You have other things to do. <gives list>"
<3> 4 days later, our environment got pwnt by Zotob. **** hit the fan. I got pressured because i'm a seasoned admin and should've known better. I made it known that I didn't patch because i was specifically told not to.
<6> drdoug: Getting your boss into trouble by going over his head is exactly the sort of thing that drives a lot of bosses into trying to get you fired.
<3> Since then, everyone listens to me about windows-related things.... except my boss.
<3> He still thinks he knows more than me because he has a degree AND is a PMP.
<5> jblack: You don't 'go over his head', you force his supervisor to confront the underlying problem.
<3> And he told me so.
<4> that all concludes that most bosses are comprised of 67% jerk
<6> I think simmy is probably doing the best that he can do. Gitting his teeth and coping until he can find another job.
<3> his degree is in some business ****. And PMP means exactly **** when a server's staring at you.
<5> jblack: There's a tactful way of doing it and a non-tactful way. As long as you are tactful about it, it's not going to get his boss in trouble, though it might increase simoriah's workload.
<3> "Dave... we can't do anything till the boxes are rebooted." "Nonsense. 2 of the disks are ready." <sigh>
<6> Simmy has kids. He's considering the risk to not being able to keep his kid comfortable.
<5> Speaking of Bosses, I need to go talk with mine.
<7> simmy, ask youself, have you taken responsiblity for your 50% and if the answer is yes don't worry
<3> Sometimes, I just want to walk up behind him, smack him in the back of the head, and scream "****ING LISTEN TO ME OFR ONCE!"
<6> simmy: Powerful, ain't it? :)
<3> aye. The kid eating is more important than me being comfortable at work.
<3> ... the things we do for our kids.
<3> I hope he remembers this when he's picking out my nursing home. ;)
<6> Oh, I meant the urge to smack sense into him. :)
<3> oh, yeah. It's a VERY powerful urge.
<6> But yah, that too
<3> I think that the evil urges at work are somewhat responsible for the occasional /wall outbursts we've seen lately.
<4> simmy: i usually throw a paperclip on the back... it eases me everytime i do so...
<6> My father works in county government. He filed a grevience against his boss once.
<6> He had to tiptoe for a few months until his boss got over it.
<6> He fired off only because the boss got someone killed.
<6> Between tiptoing, being close to retirement, and the boss being under close observation, he (my father) squeaked out of it.
<3> wow. yeah. That's serious.
<3> The other issue is that with my attendance record, lately, I don't want to cause problems that may further jeopardize my job security.
<6> I suspect that drdoug doesn't realize that there's a difference between upper and lower management.
<3> aye.
<3> or if he does, he's forgotten... mr big bad cto ;)
<6> Upper management is well educated and well traned and less willing to hurt the company over petty stuff.
<6> Lower and middle management, they bite. Hard.
<3> tis guy's as low as lower management can be.
<6> Yeah. I've been there plenty. I know the way it works.
<3> you start as a band90. 91 is a team lead. 92 is a project manager. 93 is a manager.
<3> This guy's a 92. It's the first level that can do ANYTHING related to HR.
<3> and his boss envisions him taking HIS job when he gets promoted. <sigh>
<6> he close to retirment?
<3> no. my 93's envisioning a promotion sometime soon, it would seem.
<6> raster^: What's that mean?
<3> he thinks you two are having a fight or some sort.
<6> Nah. Just see things differently. I respect his opinion.
<3> damn... I REALLY can't type today.
<8> simmy: welcome to my world
<9> firefox2beta has some nice spellchecking stuff going on btw.
<8> ad if you think I'm jokig about my job, ask dp2 about it sometime
<8> s/ad/and
<6> heh. at least you've got a job. ;)
<8> maybe I'll call RHT & beg for a placement
<6> Thinking about rolling the dice in hope of something better?
<8> I don't know
<6> Just thinking carefully. Things could get better, or worse.
<8> if I could get a raise & get off early on fridays, that would shut me up (at least for a while)
<6> its always sounded to me like you get paid reasonably and have a really relaxed environment.
<8> oh joy, another email from Symantec
<8> & this is after 2 interviews over the past 3 years
<10> rht is bad mojo
<8> Security Engineer Security Operations Center
<8> whixh means I probably wouldn't be able to do most of the fun stuff I do now at work
<3> oh, for ****'s sake!
<3> "I want 200G on the san" turned into "You got 4 200G slices"
<3> Can't _ANYONE_ around here get things straight?!
<9> oooh deviantart has got a new look. mmm
<8> I wonder if I should check my work email now, or wait until I get to work
<6> check it now.
<6> Knowing more sooner is better if you don't have a time crunch.
<8> hmm true
<6> yup. I know. I'm a brainiac. ;)
<6> Maybe I can't get a job because everyone thinks I'll take their job. :)
<6> Hmmm. Silence.
