I'm bored, and waiting for the next World Cup match to start. Dont think its that annoying its just that I read it a week ago on this page. I think it was in the soap box, otherwise I would have said nothing.

There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Well, the USA team will play inabout 3 hours so guess that might solve it? Iran - Nigaria is about to begin, 10 minutes from now.

In Boy Scouts we did it as a skit in the 70s.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I read the story on other site and can't see why delete it...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

It's still up on the Bloomberg site[^] (the source listed by the Tribune). I wonder if it got nuked from the Chicago paper as they weren't paying Bloomberg enough?

I need a safe for the house. So I am searching the inter-webs and every site is blocked by corporate policy! Wish there were more websites devoted to needing a safe and NOT owning guns. Don't want people thinking I am a fanatic researching a 72 gun capacity safe. I am more interested in how many computers and file boxes it can hold : (

Shouldn't you be doing that search from home anyway?
Regardless, have you tried searching for "fire safe"s? In theory, they're the other main type generally sold to consumers; although if I had enough guns to need a 72 rifle capacity safe I'd want one that would protect my investment from a fire as well as from thieves.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you have guns you are probably interested in safe as well, I guess the marketing departments have a specific target group in mind, which you have labeled, and I may paraphrase here, as nutters.
Google search[^]

Try this: Gun Safe[^]

Keep in mind that advertised "capacity" actually does not include weapons with accessories attached, such as scopes, silencers, slings, magazines, etc. My 21-gun safe actually comfortable accomodates about 10, and since I keep bandoliers with a combat load-out of ammo (210 rounds per rifle, 50 rounds per pistol, and 100 rounds for the shotgun), and there ain't much room for anything else. I hang the pistols, knives, and gloves on the door, and store scopes, slings and miscellany on the one and only shelf at the top of the safe.
Further, positioning and securing the safe to make it difficult to remove or break into will go a long way toward keeping someone from walking off with it. Build a tray with 2-inch anle iron, and bolt that to the floor in the corener of the room. Place the safe inside the tray, and bolt IT to the floor and the wall. Nobody will be able to lift a 1000-pound safe full of guns and ammo over a two-inch lip, and if you build a heavy duty wall next to the safe, they won't be able to easily get behind it to tip it out. You could also go to the added expense/measure of putting a swing-away bar prevents the safe from being opened with first removing the bar.
The hard you make it to take, the less likely it is that they'll take the time to try.

I really want to get my safe, when I get it, bolted to the floor. Unfortunately, that means that I have to pick a really good location for it! I don't really want it in the Garage, I want it in my office. However, I have floor baseboards, etc, so then I need to consider an offset from the wall, etc. So many considerations just to keep electronics secure. Silly really. Might be cheaper just to add steel reinforced walls, windows, and a steel door : ) but I am not that paranoid.
