    Have you ever seen a pocket knife made of tungsten carbide?

    Not just coated. Like the whole blade is made of tungsten carbide. I realize this would be impossible to sharpen beyond the manufacturer, but maybe it wouldn't ever need sharpening. Thoughts?

    Can I raid a raptor 150 and raptor 160?

    So.. yeah I think thats what I just bought. Jackass on eBay advertises the drive as Raptor X 150 GB drive in the title. In the description he says it has crystal lens to see into the drive. Do Raptor 160's even have the window? But anyways, I already have a 150, will I be able to raid0 these if...

    can one transfer a handgun to a person under the age of 21 in IL?

    Father to son transfer. Not a purchase from FFL. I looked for documentation on the internet but came up with nothing one way or the other. I've heard it can be done, but need hard evidence. Thanks.

    Is going from an FX-62 @ 3.01 to a 6400 black an upgrade?

    My FX-62 is at 3.01, idle 35* C on air. I could probably go higher, but is it worth it to get a 6400 black? Do they overclock well?
