There are quite a few 3D drawings, some containing quite a few of the others. I literally built the airplane from the plans piece by piece. I also probably did it very poorly; but, then again, I was doing it to learn 3D CAD drawing in my spare time.
He's hoping to convince people who care about online privacy to vote for him next year without having to worry about actually living up to any promises he makes. He can just blame the Republican Congress.
Bingo! If he gave half a wit for privacy, he'd give up the warrantless wiretapping powers. If he won't get off of that garbage, this proposition is just a sick joke.
Now, instead of crazy fantasy scenarios, we'll have actual failures to point at. Now we can show the failure modes and how they are addressed on newer designs (passive convection cooling). Now we can point out the massive destruction (none) and death toll (one ?) from a catastrophic failure.
You mean, like Three Mile Island? Which is still used by scaremongers to demonstrate how dangerous nuclear power is, even though there is not one single case of sickness attributed to it?
people in the immediate vicinity are being encouraged to evacuate by the authorities.
The authorities have eliminated most playground equipment, and encourage everyone to stay indoors when it rains. "Encouragement from authorities" is usually overly cautious bullshit for idiots.
Fact 1: Problems with radioactivity come from exposure, and there is a safe amount you can get every year. Exceed that amount, and you get a break from serving on a nuclear powered ship.
Fact 2: Ships are mobile. They have these cute little engine thingies that allow them to scoot all over the ocean.
Puzzle me this, if there was just an insignificant amount of radiation emitted, why would the captain expose his crew to the additional amount when he could just fire up the engine and scoot over a few more miles? Sure, it might mean that the helicopter convoys have to fly a few more miles, a small price to pay to not have to explain why your entire crew has to be replaced 6months later.
It has been continually stated that the safety systems have worked as designed, despite a record setting earthquake AND a tsunami. It has been stated that the radiation that has been released is inconsequential.
Do you have evidence of people dying from radiation or even a case of radiation sickness?
And no, neither an overabundance of safety measures on the part of the plant officials, squawking heads on MSNBC, or dopes in California making a run on iodine supplies are evidence of anything other than stupid mass hysteria.
What do you do when the people you have to convince have at most a high school diploma/bachelors degree in a non-technical (non-engineering/science/etc) field?
Sit outside the pharmacy and snicker at the Californians stocking up on iodine?
watching him get elected despite: - the fact that he never ever ever gave a straight answer to a question, - was publicly proven to be the corrupt pawn of several different industries, - and not having a single valid point against the challenging candidate
Do you know what they call candidates that do not follow that game-plan?
It's an article about an award being given to government officials hiding the workings of government. Obama is arguably among the worst in US history, after promising to be the most transparent ever. Arbitrary?
And the left spends so much time going on about the right spending so much time going on about how Obama is some kind of super liberal that is totally indistinguishable from a socialist, when in fact they were equally disgusted with Bush43. The right also got fed up with the previous Bush, what with his read-my-lips turncoat and running all over the world to fight other peoples wars. Clinton and Obama were elected in part, because many on the right said, "What the hell is the difference" and stayed home on election day. Consider the rise in enthusiasm with the introduction of the Tea Party.
If I look in your basement window, and report to the world that you are raping children down there, then you kill 3 policemen when they come to apprehend you, am I responsible for the deaths?
Manning has no control over Ghadafi. How can he be guilty of a crime for exposing the dictators corruption to the people of Libya?
I'm one of those crazy, hard-right U.S. Libertarian types that believes our government is corrupt and needs the exposure of daylight any way we can get it.
Cuba has been impoverished by US embargoes on trade. The US doesn't only restrict their own trade with Cuba, they bully other countries to do likewise. It's been going on for decades.
and yet, it is still a tropical paradise with free health care for everyone.
Right wing or not, we also have evidence of people braving the ocean in friggin' floats made of car tire innertubes in order to get away from the country. You claim to know of "people that have worked there". Where did they work? Maybe, they worked where Castro wanted them to work? Could that be a possibility?
Just to back you up, MightyMartian, this earthquake MOVED THE WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY!!
Jeesh! I needed to scream that. I apologize, but when a whole country gets yanked to the side by 8ft in an instant, you've got to expect some damage. Being exposed to the ionizing radiation of a dental X-ray, if you happen to be next to the reactor where you weren't supposed to be, is a small price to pay for the reliable power that makes modern city life possible.
Of course we could go back to coal powered plants. Or how about having to trudge through knee-high horse dung when we get rid of all these "dirty cars".
As opposed to the victim is blameless bullshit from the Democrats? Really?
"The banker didn't tell me that there would be a balloon payment at the end of my 5-year adjustable rate. I took out a loan that I didn't understand. I'm a VICTIM!!"
"Real-estate ALWAYS goes up in value. Nobody told me this was a bubble, even though prices were doubling every few years. I'm a VICTIM!!"
"I was just trying to cash in on the 30% returns of these financial products that I didn't understand AT ALL! I'm a VICTIM!!"
I still have some extensive drawings that I did while out of work (didn't have hundreds to spend on a commercial package...'cause I was out of work). ProDesktop pulled their license, and I'm left with a bunch of useless random bits. Complicated packages like these take months to learn effectively, and that learning curve has also been wasted.
I still have the drawings, but haven't found a way to convert them to something useful. I won't be touching this package.

I vote for "Operation Inconvenient Truth". That would clearly mark it as a propaganda machine.

Yeah, but what happens when gravity fails and the reflector doesn't drop. See, you haven't thought of everything.

PC makers have also wondered why the growth curve of PC purchases started leveling out in the late 90s. No one could figure it out.

What has been proven wrong?
It has been continually stated that the safety systems have worked as designed, despite a record setting earthquake AND a tsunami.
It has been stated that the radiation that has been released is inconsequential.
Do you have evidence of people dying from radiation or even a case of radiation sickness?
And no, neither an overabundance of safety measures on the part of the plant officials, squawking heads on MSNBC, or dopes in California making a run on iodine supplies are evidence of anything other than stupid mass hysteria.
And how many lives will be lost in future wars over uranium?
Just sayin'...

Losers.
Doesn't matter. He's a Republican, right? OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!
arbitrary obama bashing? really?

No. Fox's reporting is the same AP wire dribble that you hear everywhere else. Now, their commentary is "right".
Example to prove the point: They also 'reported' on Charlie Sheen, just like every other news station, even though it means absolutely nothing.

It's great, but it sucks because of the US
Dude, pick one argument and stick with it.

You claim to know of "people that have worked there". Where did they work? Maybe, they worked where Castro wanted them to work? Could that be a possibility?
I think they would say something like, "Gee, Bob, people are starting to look at Al Jazeera's website", and then move along.

In my part of the country, the police and firefighters are paid through property taxes...which you can't get out of through bartering.

So, you're one of those people that thinks vote buying and distraction issues are an American thing.
Over here, we have hearings on "steroid use among professional athletes". Most of the rest of the world just has a soccer match.
Bingo!
