Those are separate points: Not releasing the transcripts is no guarantee either way. It could just be that he likes his privacy. I would. And I also wouldn't want what I'm doing now to be judged with the bias of past performance or mistakes. Let what I do now speak for itself. We were sold a load a...

if he WAS getting high, just how good could his school work be during this time period? I've done a ton of partying and tons of retarded things. I was a precocious child. Skipped two grades, almost always at the top of classes, etc. Doesn't change the fact that I could get things done seriously whe...

American culture has resulted in a society that, when met with catastrophe, tends to work together, rather than work apart. Uhm, what happened in the wake of Katrina proved you wrong. I tend to disagree. What happened in the wake of Katrina was emblematic of a dysfunctional system. You had a mayor ...

Baen's got it right. I've been a user of their free library for years, which has impelled me to buy a LOT of their books. They also have a monthly release list, with old and new titles, and it's really funny how after reading the first 6 or 8 chapters of a book on-line you'll go ahead and buy the ph...

No, I don't really like the throwaway mentality behind that - but it's what we've got. You could always pay the going rate for an industrial strength washer. I COULD - but I don't see the utility in doing that. The cost vs benefit curve as far as I'm concerned doesn't bend in that direction. And I ...

How long did it take you to dismantle the stove, go down to Home Despot, buy the insulation, fit the insulation and put the whole thing back together again. A whole day is my guess. Time is money and it's valuable. That 100/hr I quoted is about average for a service call. The fact is for an enginee...

One wishes they might push "liberal" agenda, but what they will push is authoritarian (Democratic) agenda. When you see the only solutions proposed involving taxation for the purpose of supposedly building wind farms and solar power plants... And then see the plants cancelled so unspoiled desert vi...

DU folks aren't really technically ept, but they're certainly... passionate about what they believe. And TP folks aren't really verbally apt , but they're certainly... passionate about what they believe. :lol: :lol: :lol: :P :wink: Merkin is a weird language. We got it from the Brits, then tried to...

At least one doesn't consider fusion 'nuclear power'. (He doesn't get corrected on this thread, not that I found.) Edited on Tue Jan-05-10 04:17 AM by Occulus There were specific research goals the Navy wanted them to achieve. That alone is very good news. The Navy wants to develop this to use on ca...

Then I for one would like to set the dial to 'emulsify'.

So what really happened? ... But as you said - it doesn't much matter at this point except to historians. And treasure hunters/storytellers. It'll be great. Another decade or two, and people will be telling the tale ofthe long-lost NBC weapons treasure trove, buried somewhere out there in the infin...

Well Chem and bio do need a certain kind of equipment for handling, storing it, etc, or your workers will end up being victims of your chem and bio weapons. Yes and no - there was plenty of Russian protective gear found also. And in its liquid unmixed states, a lot of chem warfare agents aren't as ...

Saddam certainly acted like he did when he wasn't telling people he actually had them. He always denied having them. At worst, the huge convoy of 18 wheeler tankers and cargo trucks seen leaving Iraq for Syria at the beginning of the invasion is where all that stuff went, which was later bombed by ...

yes, I have. This forum looks like a wing of the republican party. probably the only science forum where people believe in the universal deluge and the 6000 yrs old Earth. Oh, bullshit. Post your links as proof if you've got them. I'm really getting tired of any deviation from liberal orthodoxy bei...

chris, I can't imagine why any one would have wanted Lucas. Unless it was for the replacement part (about once a week) business. I had a Triumph 650 (a very fine bike to ride - not so fine to keep running) with Lucas electrics and I was always replacing something on the electrical system. OTOH I wa...
