All I have to say is C O O L !

I’ve been following this issue for sometime now. And as a matter of sharing a “historical event”. I thought I’d post this link here for everyone’s review.

For a time, “Defense Distributed” could only print some parts of a firearm. Now it looks like they’ve finally put together the entire package in a prototype! (Minus ammunition of course…)

A reminder - be very VERY wary of any political discussion surrounding this item at aa.org.

@CWO:

@ABWorsham:

I was sixteen years old; it was the Christmas of 1996. I had been playing Risk and heard stories of a WWII game called Axis and Allies. I found the game at Toys-R-Us. My dad thought I was crazy paying over fifty dollars for a board game, but he did like the picture of Rommel on the front cover.

I was Germany my first game. Five of us played. I remember attacking capturing all of Africa. My friend’s father gave up saying the game was too long for his taste.

I wonder what your dad would have thought if he’d known that, a few years in the future, a two-part Global 1940 game costing about three times as much would come on the market, and I wonder what your friend’s dad would have thought if he’d known that this Global 1940 game would take about three times as long to play.

He would just shake his head in disbelief. Dad is very cheap.

A first for me…and I thought I've done it all!

@Jermofoot:

@frimmel:

Water is the third most important substance for human survival.

After internet porn and beer?

Wait…you need water for beer.

Beer is mostly water. :-)

But based on the survival tips Rule of 3. You get thirty seconds if you’re bleeding, making blood number one. 3 minutes without air making it number two. 3 hours without shelter in a harsh environment no one thing counts as shelter and this is highly dependent on the environment. 3 days without water and depending on the environment that could shorten considerably making water the third most important substance.

I thought that “Quantum of Solace” was remarkably prescient in having the villains trying to control the water supply.

Pas de 3G Kindle Fire?
Lorsque Amazon a annoncé le Kindle Fire en Septembre, beaucoup de gens, y compris certains Business Insider, ont le surnommé comme le premier véritable concurrent par rapport à l’iPad.(modem3g.eu)

Kindle Fire a la d’Amazon. Il a quantité des vidéos, des musiques et des films de la bibliothèque géante d’Amazon. Et il ne co?te que 199 $. Mais est-ce suffisant pour détr?ner l’iPad? Pas probablement. Et l’un des inconvénients de la tablette est qu’il n’y a toujours pas de 3G Kindle Fire maintenant. Mais le Kindle Fire est susceptible d’affaiblir les affaires de la tablette d’Apple et de contraindre l’entreprise à introduire une alternative moins co?teuse. Maintenant, nous allons apprendre comment obtenir la 3G sur le Kindle Fire et le rendre parfait.

Comment obtenir la 3G sur le Kindle Fire?
Nous savons que le Kindle Fire ne supporte que WiFi pour le moment, donc, ce que nous devons faire est de transférer le signal 3G en WiFi, puis le Kindle Fire peut le recevoir et nous obtenons la 3G de réussir sur le Kindle Fire.

Il ya deux méthodes. 1, Utiliser le hotspot WiFi personnel sur votre smartphone. 2, Utiliser d’un modem routeur wifi portable pour obtenir 3G Kindle Fire.

Exemple: Obtenir la 3G sur le Kindle Fire avec l’iPhone 4 hotspot personnel

1. Comment configurer votre iPhone personnel hotspot WiFi
(Si vous avez seulement iPhone 3G ou 3GS, assurez-vous qu’il est déjà supérieur à 4,3 IOS)
Allez dans le menu Paramètres, dans “Setting”, vous verrez une nouvelle rubrique “personnal hotspot” du menu. Touchez-le.

Dans le menu de hotspot personnel, faites glisser l’option ?hotspot personnel? à “on”.

Vous noterez qu’Apple a placé un mot de passe par défaut qui est affiché sur l’écran aussi. Vous pouvez également l’utiliser (comme chaque iPhone 4 re?oit un mot de passe aléatoire différent) ou le changer que vous pouvez plus facilement le retenir en appuyant dessus.

Ensuite, sur le menu WiFi de votre Kindle Fire, vous devriez voir votre iPhone éjecter dans la liste, après quelques secondes. Le nom du réseau est le nom de votre iPhone dans iTunes.

Certainement, vous pouvez également utiliser Windows et Android Smartphone hotspot personnel pour obtenir la 3G sur le Kindle Fire.

Obtenir la 3G sur le Kindle Fire avec Huawei E583C Modem Routeur Wifi

Qu’est-ce que vous avez besoin?
1. Une carte SIM
2. Huawei E583C Modem Routeur Wifi
3. Kindle Fire

Ouvrez le couvercle arrière du Huawei E583C Modem Routeur Wifi et insérez la carte SIM; Maintenez le bouton d’alimentation pour allumer le modem routeur wifi; Tourner sur le Kindle Fire, vous devriez voir E583C Modem routeur wifi éjecter dans la liste WiFi. Sélectionnez-le, vous devrez entrer le mot de passe et vous pouvez le trouver à l’intérieur du couvercle du E583C. Attendez quelques secondes pour se connecter et vous obtenez un 3G Kindle Fire.

Voilà comment j’obtiens la 3G sur le Kindle Fire sur le chemin, et surtout je utilise le modem routeur wifi, car elle offre une meilleure connexion, rapide et stable.

Yes sir! But im afraid he’s just a puppet of sorts. The last guy i found out got fired because some of their fantasy RPG noob games dropped in sales. This will have little impact on AH because its still a company sitting on the back burner. Nobody is pushing Avalon Hill to success. All these people are all minimalists doing the least amount of work as possible. No marketing whatsoever is going on except for a few perfunctory “news releases” ,No print media advertisement , no forum support, no special online demos, nothing but crickets. Its a joke and they should all be ashamed.

I will always stand by my view that WOTC is slowly destroying Avalon Hill by neglect. The decision making on what is being produced is not following any overall plan and its got a few titles being circulated from past fortunes made, but no new ideas and the few new ideas that come out are not based on any feedback from the consumer. Making Diplomacy is a mistake along with Acquire. These games are not bringing new people into the hobby as the people who play them already have all the different versions. Diplomacy Deluxe is still the best version ever made san the original Key games version with the larger board.

They should embrace the titles from the heyday: Stalingrad, Afrika Corps, Anzio, Luftwaffe, France 40, rail baron, D-Day, Russian Campaign, Midway, etc… Make these games and bring back The General magazine. You can make these games with pieces, blocks, or counters. All these ideas and they decide on “Acquire”? you gotta be kidding me or what?

I was up at 3am then (guess why?), and saw Nightline bring a live report about the miners being saved. Actually, I came in the middle of it, and thought it was an old video of the PA rescue. A couple was standing there saying that they got a call and rushed over, but couldn’t see the individuals because they needed to be checked. Nothing specific was being said. I wondered: is this real? Could they be dead and they don’t want to break the horrible news? I was informed the next day that they only found 1 alive, in critical condition. What is his status?

I hardly think the situation is laughable. They were intending to give great news about a near disaster, that in actuality turned out to be false. I would shame them if they rushed HORRIBLE news, which seems to be the standard for most news these days.

@Guerrilla:

ahem CC, more people die each year from physician malpractice then firearms

do you have a source for that? How is “physician malpractice” defined?
Also have you considered the number of patient visits that occur in a year? The number of hospital days spent by patients every year?
Also have you considered that physicians are typically in the market to preserve life, and provide comfort into death while firearms sole purpose is to end life, and provide misery for the families of those affected by them?

@Yanny:

Heritage means Zip, Zero, Nada, Nothing to me. “10 % French” - Ok, I can understand knowing your Half Italian, but what does it matter if your 10% French? I certaintely am not going to treat you differently because your Half Italian, let alone 10 % french.

You are what make yourself, it doesn’t matter who your parents were.

I agree.

how did we get to this? i think moses mentioned WASP, and i said something…whatever.

Yes, it is someone’s personality that matters, but affirmative action doesn’t seem to think so :P (sorry, low blow!)
