Several brands had fiberglass in their filters in the 50's and 60's. It was a blend with cotton. Taryton was one I saw. They used to get the cotton for filters free by cleaning the dust filters at cotton gins.
This is no different than breathing any fiber into the lungs. Everyone harps on asbestos but cotton is just as bad. That was one of the weird things about smoking, in the 70's they found that people smoking non-filters lived 5 years longer than the ones smoking filter cigarettes. Why, the fiberglass filter. The fiber got into the lungs. So they changed to cotton and got the same results. Ever hear of white lung disease? People who worked in cotton gins sure did. Any fiber or particulate in the lungs will cause scaring at best, enough of that is called emphysema.
Gee everyone wants to act like the Bush administration is the only ones ever to do this. No bias here at all is there? For a criminal case what about Clintons former National Security Adviser Sandy Berger getting caught stealing documents from the National Archives to keep them from the 9-11 Commision?
The simple gun type uranium bomb doesn't need much of that at all. If you can figure out the mass needed and the speed to drive the two parts together, you have a bomb. That's why they didn't bother to test that one, they knew it would work. The first gun type bomb was used at Hiroshima.
There was a book with diagrams of the basic design of both the gun type bomb (Hiroshima) and the implosion bomb (Nagasaki) in the library at my High School around 72, 73. They used to have a rough diagram of the Trinity bomb at White Sands National Monument along with some of the green glass formed by the blast.
Sadly with the gutless/bought off coward we have as the Attorney General in North Carolina I will never know. This clown takes no chances and rarely goes against corporations of any size.
Most of you youngsters never heard of Wolfman Jack but he had a show out of an outlaw AM station with offices near San Diego and the transmitter in Mexico in the 50's to avoid FCC power regs. Big force behind rock and roll. If you ever heard the ZZ Top song "I heard it on The X", that's about XROC 80 out of Juarez that gave them their first airplay. It was an overpowered FM station that had the best music in the area in the early 70s.
Because the Direct Marketing Association bribed enough Congresscritters to get the useless CanSpam law passed. They didn't spend enough to defeat the DoNotCall list and were given this as a bone.
Only one of them actually changed anything at all. Lennon changed music, and his murder was news like any other murder. Of the others, one was mostly ignored and the others still takes up 100 times more airtime than it ever should have.
If it involves a celebrity there is a 99% chance that it's fluff and won't make a lick of difference to my life in any way.
Check out Emperor Linux, they have T60s and T61s preloaded with a custom kernel so everything works out of the box. Been around for a few years and have had very good reviews from Linux Journal and others.
I remember in the 60's when the shift happened. Like most changes in music in that time it was caused by the Beatles. Most groups would sell maybe 4 singles at the most off of any album because the rest was filler. The Beatles really were the first to try to put out an album with nothing but good songs on it. Most bands followed the trend and singles quit selling because 12+ singles cost more than the complete album. Somewhere in the last 40+ years groups started going back to mostly filler songs. When was the last time anyone came out with a new album where any of us "wanted" to here every song? Sgt Pepper and Dark Side of the Moon are the most famous of those (for the country fans I'll include Red Headed Stranger). Now that there is a way to cherry pick an artists catalog for what I really like there is no reason to buy a complete album except a Greatest Hits.
I am not talking about Classical music here, most albums of this genre are excellent. A good to great orchestra will put out a fine effort on any recording. It is really a matter of deciding which rendition of a specific piece each of us prefers.
"Maybe we could put aside the crass partisan catcalling for a day and remember that." On/. ? You are kidding right? This place is turning into the techie version of Dailey KOS.
I'm a Vet and the son of a Vet so I like what they did. I don't like everyone trying to politicise everything.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read it in English, thank a Vet!
The Federal Highway system that is falling apart and that Congress is forcing the states to finance and maintain? If the states pay for it will my Federal taxes go down? Hell no! Those fools will find something to waste my money on as always.
Look at what really happens to any spending bill to find most of the waste. It's all the amendments and earmarks that have nothing to do with the original bill. If half of our money was spent wisely by those fools, most of the complaints about taxes would end. Many of the environmental regs are questionable because congresscritters have as good an understanding of science as they do of computers and current tech. Most regulation of industry by the government fails because the ones writing the regs don't understand the industry, or they all get bribed, 2 most common causes of failure.
"ask yourself, when was the last time the federal government did anything which was in your best interest, and not that of big business or other moneyed powers?"
The "do not call" list is the only thing congress has done in the last 40 years that has helped me, or worked as advertised. Sad but true.
Subs don't use active sonar to track another sub. It is all passive, not anything like the movies. We listen and make about as much noise as a hole in the ocean. Active sonar is surface ships "pinging", we can hear that 40 miles away. Surface ships only find subs during exercises when the noisemaker is turned on. Never in real life.

Be careful what you breath.
Another reason why I don't own a cell phone! Beside not wanting to be on a leash to a higher power, like a wife.
Tell the truth or a reasonable possibility and get modded flamebait. The standards around here are falling faster than SCO's stock did.
Someone writes a script. This could be funnier than Office Space and be 100% true! Great movie idea!
The fact that he has to use M$ products?

This old man has gone senile. As a voter in his district I will vote against him and I'm a conservative.
The only thing that will come from this is a bribe! Duh!

Looking through the selections causes a certain reaction, PUKE!
90% of the offerings cause that reaction.
Need to puke again

I agree! Since IE is the home of 50%+ of all Windows vulnerabilities, it is mal-ware!

It was not a nuke, it was a diesel electric. Since d/e boats have no cooling pumps they have always been quieter than nukes.
Trust the word of an old sub sailor, I really do know what I'm talking about.
