FN Five-seven

The FN Five-seven, trademarked as the Five-seveN, is a semi-automatic pistol designed and manufactured by Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre-Herstal (FN Herstal) in Belgium. The pistol is named for its 5.7-mm (.224 in) bullet diameter, and the trademark capitalization style is intended to emphasize the manufacturer's initials—FN.

The Five-seven pistol was developed in conjunction with the FN P90 personal defense weapon and the FN 5.7×28mm cartridge. The P90 was introduced in 1990, and the Five-seven was introduced in 1998 as a pistol using the same 5.7×28mm ammunition. Developed as a companion pistol to the P90, the Five-seven shares many of its design features: it is a lightweight polymer-based weapon with a large magazine capacity, ambidextrous controls, low recoil, and the ability to penetrate body armor when using certain cartridge types.

Sales of the Five-seven were originally restricted by FN to military and law enforcement customers, but since 2004, the pistol has also been offered to civilian shooters for personal protection, target shooting, and similar uses. Although offered only with sporting ammunition, the Five-seven's introduction to civilian shooters was met with vocal opposition from gun control organizations such as the Brady Campaign, and the pistol has been subject to ongoing controversy in the United States.

    Novell

    Novell, Inc. /noʊˈvɛl/ was an American multinational software and services company headquartered in Provo, Utah. It had been instrumental in making the Utah Valley a focus for technology and software development. Novell technology contributed to the emergence of local area networks, which displaced the dominant mainframe computing model and changed computing worldwide. Today, a primary focus of the company is on developing software for enterprise.

    The company was purchased as a wholly owned subsidiary by The Attachmate Group; this latter was acquired in 2014 by Micro Focus International, of which Novell is now a division.

    History

    The company began in 1979 in Orem, Utah as Novell Data Systems Inc. (NDSI), a hardware manufacturer producing CP/M-based systems. Former Eyring Research Institute (ERI) employee Dennis Fairclough was the member of the original team that started Novell Data Systems. It was co-founded by George Canova, Darin Field, and Jack Davis. Victor V. Vurpillat brought the deal to Pete Musser, chairman of the board of Safeguard Scientifics, Inc., who provided the seed funding.

    Ballad Of Richard K

    by: Asg

    Keep down by the ones who sat by your side
    Guts blushing on a night shadow lonley pize
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    In the path of my foes, left to die
    Visions of the highway
    I bent back into the light
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Ten seconds till the blackout parts with his crime
    Got money don't buy in, dont buy the light
    In the house with no home, cut to size
    Hoplessly divided
    I bent down into the knife
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can't sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    Lay down, got rythem
    Where trying to find it
    On stage like a luminous gunner
    Where trying to find it
    Well your god won't smile
    And your conscience can' sleep
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
    Against your sheild
    What if i killed you all
    Would it build me up
    Someone in the wind as fire flies
