By multiplying the swept area of the rotors by the maximum velocity achieved by an athlete, taking into account the wheaties factor, and applying Bernoulli's principle we can deduce that the total lift capacity is gl-a--a-a-avin.
The Libertarian candidate stands no more chance than Nader. It's not about getting a 3rd party into office in '04. It's about creating a viable alternative to the two snakepits we have today. It's unfortunate that too many people think that there are only two choices.
The topic of 3rd parties only comes up around presidential election time. What people should be doing is voting outside the box at the state and federal rep levels as well.
We're not going to be able to restore sanity to this country all at once. We need to start by driving wedges under the black holes who are currently at the helm.
I'm no expert in game theory, but I think I understand why it turns out to be a two party system. On the bright side, I heard an interesting interview on NPR this morning. It boosted my faith in the democratic system. Here's a nice link to the book they were discussing The Wisdom of Crowds.
"And to be perfectly honest, a vote for Nader might as well be a vote for Bush, since those who would even consider voting for him are all traditional Democratic-base voters"
I voted for Nader last time and my state's tally still came out clearly in favor of Gore. All I did was stand up and be counted. If Nader hadn't run, I would have voted for Bush.
I'll vote Nader again without helping Bush because there's no way in hell that Kerry will lose MA.
You: What happens when AI in computers become so advanced that we are no longer involved in their own programming?
Eliza: Why do you mention computers?
You: What if we just dictate to a computer and it programs and maintains itself automatically.?
Eliza: Why do you mention computers?
You: Eventually, it forms its own nature form of complexity far beyond human management.
Eliza: Please go on.
You: I guess at that point, we just "program" a computer through talking and exchanging ideas rather then sort through code in a methodical way like programmers having to do now.
Watch "Tucker: The Man and His Dream" and see if you still think that the shakeout was just a case of the industry maturing. And what happened to all the freight trains and mass transit systems? GM killed them with the common big-business tactic of buying favorable laws.
Big business uses its power in unethical, immoral and illegal ways and it takes a toll on society. Some would say that it's "The American Way", but they either don't understand or don't care how and why this country was founded.
Wake up and smell the stench coming out of D.C. and Wall Street.
"Yes, and no. AT&T used to be called a "natural monopoly", because only one company could own the set of phone wires that you were using. Even now that's true, it's just a mini-monopoly."
But there was no reason that ATT had be the sole provider of LD. MCI eventually proved that point, but it was quite a battle.
Wow, if the company had given them each a typewriter they could have outdone Shakespeare. Ma Bell did things right, but the price was all wrong. Monopolies suck.
That was my point. I chimed in because I know that many people think that it is a wasted vote. I think they fail to consider two things. 1)There are indirect positive effects to voting for a 3rd party. 2)In many cases their vote won't have any direct effect anyway.
"Basically you're going to have to vode Nader - or Perot!"
Of course the problem with that is they aren't viable candidates. They will not be elected, so most people will consider them spoilers and eliminate them as a choice.
But in most states, the popular vote will be overwhelmingly in favor of one of the major candidates and that candidate will receive all the electoral votes.
So, lots of people could vote Nader and it wouldn't change the outcome of the election. But it *would* help to make the candidate and his party viable in subsequent elections.
I'm from Massachusetts. My pseudo-vote is certain to go to the douchebag Kerry. With nothing to lose, I'm free to vote my conscience.
The article said that the problem was in transmitting the pages from the newsroom to the printing facility across town. I wonder if they could have used a removable hd and a motorcycle as a backup plan.

"Remember with RAID-0 you are not halving your MTBF (mean time between failures), you're reducing it by the inverse of number of drives squared."
No, it's T/N.

A five year mission, to seek out new worlds, new civilizations, to boldly go ... where? Hey, what happened to the Venus plan?
"There is so much irony with that sentence that I cannot even begin to be sarcastic. This does not happen often."
Are you sure it happened just now, or is it possible that sarcasm is so deeply embedded in your psyche that you can no longer recognize it?
"NT was way ahead of anything else at the time, say, circa 1997. UNIX and graphics were not yet playing well together at that point."
Holy crap. I've entered the bizarro world.
I think you're right, but there should be a vfs layer atop the database. e.g. I should be able to do either this:
/types/image/jpeg
select pathname from fs where type = 'image/jpeg';
or this:

Nader isn't the spoiler. It's the other two.

I think you're confusing your layers. Besides, compared to coax, twisted pair is like dixie cups and fishing line.

Sounds to me like you work for Coca Cola.

No. I'd rather fight for my freedom.

Let the Feds be unemployed.

How will they be safe? There are no exemptions for non-**AA consumers.
"Let the bill pass, then unplug from the data stream these people seem to think they should be under such control."
Kill the bill, then unplug from the data stream these people seem to think they should be under such control.
They do this SHIT for the same reason a dog licks his balls. What we need is for someone to hit Bill Gates with a rolled-up newspaper.
