Ah Mike how can someone who seems smart write such dumb stuff. Heard of the IRA? The crusades? The invasion and occupation of Palestine, the India Pakistan conflict, still one can only expect industrial stength cognitive dissonance from religious types I suppose
Immune form criticism maybe,(But not that I have noticed) but not immune from being killed by the hundered of thousand by revenge crazed americans (Iraq Afghanistan Palesitine etc). I am sick of americans bleating about 9/11 when they have killed many many more people before and since than were killed on 9/11. If you didnt go around interfering in other countries to gain financial advantage (Remember who trained and financed Bin Laden?)you might have a point.
Oh I see and chritians never kill anyone due to intolerance. Apart form the IRA, the crusades, the Spanish Inquisition etc. Fact is that extremists exist and act the same way in all religions. It says a lot about you that you single out muslims, for criticism for smoething that is by no means unique to them. Its not even all that common if you look at the numbers.
I have never seen a case where they ask questions, their minds are made up already and no ammount of evidence/answers will change it. After all they might have to drive their SUV overcompensationveichles a bit less or something, and we cant have that!
Same with anti vaccination loonies, and creationists, they all use the same tactics of internet circle jerk where one denialist site quotes another as a reference. The facts whilst interesting are considered irrelevant.
I have got to the point where i dont even bother to challenge them anymore, as their objections are based in their self interest allowing them to ignore relevant facts and use nit picking irrelevancies to support their case.
For some reason what seem to be otherwise intelligent people here on Slashdot show a remarkable degree of stupidity on this issue. Then again a lot of them propound libertarian claptrap too, so I guess I shouldnt be too shoucked.
Oh I see so when I have trouble with one of the 500 wintel machines I have been maintaining for 7 years without a registry issue, it will be a pain in the ass. Thanks for the heads up!
Exactly right sir, the arrogance of the US is incredible. He should not be extradited to a country with such an applaing prison system and downright uncicivilsed legal system that has the death penalty, and has repeatedly been found to have executed innocent people.
Your problem is the ludicrous concept of electing judges. I by far prefer the system of appointment by peers we have. In fact allowing the general public to elect judges is one of the stupidest things I can imagine.
I have to agree, whislt there are the trolls and morons, the good comments here are much more common than elsewhere, I have learned more about many subjects here than i have learned form the whole of the rest of the internets foums. Sick of people complaining if you dont like it dont come here!
I think the telecoms industry would like to have a word with you about the invention of phantom power. Phantom power cicuits were orginally designed for putting 2 48V phones down 1 set of lines!
Back in my early days as a telecom apprentice, one of the tricks we got up to was removing the carbon center conductor from a big dry cell, mounting it on 1 50V DC busbar via a large nut then screwing it out until an arc was drawn, instant carbon arc lighting. Dropping a shifting spanner on the busbars gauranteed a HUGE BOOM, and a vapourised spanner.
1. Corrosion is a much bigger problem, cars are usually negative eart so that corrsion occours on the device rather than the chassis side, maiking it reapirable.
2. Switching. To switch the same current of DC as AC the swithch needs to be a LOT bigger as arcing can and will occour with DC switches.
Have a look at the specs of switches, often the switch will handle 5 or more times current with AC than DC.
3. When touched one muscles tend to lock on to the item with DC.
Having just bought an iphone 4S I can at least say the battery life is pathetic, I am lucky if it lasts a day. Like the phone but wish I could change the battery.

I dunno mental illness seems about right to me. In fact the term Industrial strentgh cognitive dissonance sits pretty well too
Hmmm, AC takes moronic to a whole new level. You can see the courage of his convctions in the fact he deosnt post logged in.

Sure Ac, and you can let us know when islamic terrorism becomes a problem in Canada. Are you just stupid of mailicious?

$30 on ebay....(:
Yeh, there is none. Civilised countries dont have the death penalty.
Give me a monarchy over the ridiculoius US system any day, monachist and proud!
Are you just trying to be an asshole or is that your nature?

No I didn't. (:
DC has resistance but NOT impedance. Geez!
As an experienced sound engineer I disagree, every one I know in the industry is well aware of what XLR's are.
We fix the damn things all the time!

3 things worry me about DC transmission.
1. Corrosion is a much bigger problem, cars are usually negative eart so that corrsion occours on the
device rather than the chassis side, maiking it reapirable.
2. Switching. To switch the same current of DC as AC the swithch needs to be a LOT bigger as arcing can and will occour with DC switches.

I only seems to get mod point after a post is modded up, even though my karma is excellent.
Mike, its because you are an asshole troll you get modded down. If you stopped behaving like a dickhead you would do better.
