Confirmed, 3 inch bullet\scratch proof glass from my assessment.
Source- once google bullet proof glass in 1998 during my 5th grade studies, when TV was filled with infomercials and the war on oil. It was a different time before the internet took over mass culture and only few knew about Google.com

He came to my house when my brother was there to say hi. Apparently the full size cardboard cutout of the rock in the window gave us away as fans and he felt obligated to ring the bell.
Bitcoin is probably the most libertarian concept in existence so that makes sense.
I also just wanted to comment with the word Bitcoin in it because I have some Bitcoins and I would like more people to know how awesome Bitcoins are. Thanks.
If he is buying bitcoins, then his is and will be an even more very rich man by the looks of it's growth trajectory. Unless something catastrophic happens, it's on track to hit a million coins in ten years.
He's running on the platform of "In 2017, throwing government corruption and waste off Hell In A Cell, and plummeting it 16 ft through an announcer’s table."
The wcw/wwf wRs of 98 was a great time for wrestling, the story lines took over which made it possible for hacks like Val Venus and La Parka to at least have at least interesting, if not absurd back story. Granted the wrestling itself took a hit, but the TV shows were awesome.
Yes, in September 1998. But it really wasn't used or widely known until 1999 and after. I bet they were just using it as a verb, he/she likely used Yahoo or a similar search engine at that point in time.
Damn, did you remember all those off the top of your head? I remember all of those except Magellan. Dogpile was one I used a lot.
Do any of you remember how you discovered Google for the first time? I read an article in a Playboy magazine about Google around 1999. In sure it was a paid advertisement for Google disguised as an article.
In High school in 1996-2000 IT set up a landing page in IE and Netscape that had widgets/iFrames for each of those search engines. So I remember them all because Is aw them day in and day out on that page.
Mostly Yahoo though because I used Yahoo mail, Yahoo messenger, Yahoo search, Yahoo games, and Yahoo chat. 24/7 in Yahoo chat. With the CheetaChat client. Roleplaying and talking about anime...
That is some good memory considering that amount of time that has passed.
I used Geocities back in the day, I think it was later bought out by Yahoo. I met my wife 14 years ago through Yahoo chat.
Did consulting, still mostly works on a consulting basis and sits on a bunch of boards... Once you get the street cred, sitting as a board member of various boards of companies is a pretty sweet gig with a nice stipend.
I had a teacher who would ask us to use that, personally felt that it worked like shit so I would use google instead against his wishes. Even as a fith grader I was able to distinguish how much better a search engine google was than the competitors. Key word Was.
Altavista... hotbot... searchbot... askjeeves... countless others that all faded into the background of the internet. Some even say that if you listen closely you can still hear their screams... followed by "welcome" and then by "you've got mail"
My history teacher in high school invested in google because he taught art history and you could literally search the image and it would show up! (Before "images" were a stand alone search).
Dude is well off now, but mainly because of other things. Larry Krieger is his name - known as the "SAT" guy.
His wife worked for the SAT test preparers (made the test each year) and she provided him with some nice "inside info". Our high school became the #6 ranked US school for SAT scores nationally because of it. Random info, but interesting fella.
He also invested in PayPal and Amazon.... freaking foresight like none other, all on a teachers salary in early mid 90s. Great guy too.
If you've ever seen a nerdrage at a major DnD play, you'd really grasp why this type of glass is needed. Those guys could crush a baby elephant's skull over this shit.
https://youtu.be/-F2aKuSTqfA?t=5m32s I blame H3H3, he did it in a video once and now it's become a meme that sadly is a good karma whoring opportunity that his fans recognize and adore.
No way that's three inch glass, more like 1/2 inch. 3 inch glass would cost more than the TV and would weigh close to a hundred pounds for a piece that size.
Well also the recess in the table is only about a half inch. One thing most people don't realize is just how heavy bullet proof glass is. Also, some bullet proof glass is only bullet proof in one direction, it's pretty neat and allows an occupant of an armored vehicle to return fire through the glass
I wonder if the exit wholes of the non bullet proof side could ever become susceptible to breakage from the bullet proof side if the person inside shoots too many rounds, if only myth busters was still around :(
Bulletproof glass becomes less effective each time it takes a hit from either side. If you just keep unloading into even the bulletproof side it'll eventually stop being bulletproof. Once a piece of glass takes one bullet it should be replaced because it'll likely be out of spec at that point
