See, it's like this: A man has a pee-pee and a woman has a woo-woo. Magic stuff comes out of the man's pee-pee (no, not like when you're going number 1) and goes into the woman's woo-woo. Stuff doesn't come out of the woman (well, somethimes it does, that's where your twin brother went) until 9 months later. That's how you were born, now drink your Nyquil and go to sleep.
Can you do any of the things I mentioned without some form of DHTML in a universally-available web page? With Java, maybe, but those apps seem to be fairly slow.
You seem to be missing the larger picture, do you have kids?
Have an interactive animation of an internal combustion engine an let the kids play with spark timing, rich/lean fuel, worn piston rings, etc.
Pumps: play with discharge rates, NPSH, motor sizes, waterhammer.
I'm sure you can think of other real-world examples that would spark interest in kids that are not easily motivated by just reading about such things. Even complicated mathematics can be easily demonstrated and then you work backwards from there.
Those who are really interested will follow up and the rest will still come away with a good basic understanding of the processes.
I usually read an article in a local alternative weekly that is written by a gay guy. If a heteosexual wrote stuff like what he writes they'd be shitcanned real quick.
I sometimes find Flash-based sites that Firefox can't handle. I once saw a TV ad for a Pontiac car that looked appealing, but once I got to the webpage mentioned I had to install all kinds of crap on my machine. Result? No looking at cool Pontiac cars for me, screw that.
If big buck marketing and advertising is all about planting a seed in the brain, well I'll remember that one (and many others) for sure and the memory won't be a good one.
The concept of "any publicity is good publicity" often backfires.
Just FYI, any reply using terms like "faggot" as flaimbait should probably not be encouraged. Although I am not gay, I am sure that there are plenty of gays out there in scienceland doing stuff unrelated to their personal sexual preference.
You bit a troll, try not to do it again. Or if you do feel compelled, try to use words better suited to the discussion at hand.
I equate your reply with a "fuck you, bitch" response, which is no better than what you replied to.
I think something like this should be in many schools, or at least tour to schools, so that kids can see and understand the theory behind internal combustion engines.
QED, AJAX (ex-DHTML) can illustrate this pretty effectively. The question is, do the kids really care? The hands-on trades have been ignored for a long time, but there's nothing wrong with getting your hands dirty (instead of getting paper cuts or carpal tunnel "ailments").
...the Army's attorney general, Joseph Welch, rebuked McCarthy...
What I find most interesting is that an "evil army guy" called McCarthy on this. Military people are typically no-nonsense, Eisenhower's warning notwithstanding.
Not off the top of my head, but it should be easy to find in any decent engineer's handbook.
Yeah, we have to deal with this every day when designing cars, machines and refineries. The assprint vs. technological validity quick reference chart hasn't yet been developed, but you can be sure that the various ASME boards are diligently working on it.

An while I am at it, emule is excellent, and they are probably the next target, they better get ready for it.
To make themselves harder to find they should call the next site colonslashdotaitchteepee.com
OK, go ahead.
I've been doing design work (refinery piping systems and similar) for about 20 years, so I'm interested in your thoughts on the matter.
This is not to tout my experience for good or bad, it's just what I've done and what I'm familiar with.
Yeah, most people are probably still struggling with popups. It may take a few more years for a user revolt.
Isn't that based on the K car?
It'll be interesting to see if GM tries to pull a Chrysler, what with all their current troubles.
I thought the same thing after reading that. Is the accepted purpose of journalists now to just re-word PR puff pieces?
[Crap, I have to explain this, again...]

Maybe the user community needs an anti-Flash campaign, I wonder which website would be best to promote such a notion.
Now THAT's "big iron", it'll probably run a lot longer than that with new piston rings.

"Fudge packers" always seemed funny to me.
Aren't fags also called cigarettes in the UK?

More restrictions really means more restrictions that only the law-abiding citizens will follow
That is the elephant in the room that banners never want to talk about.
Nice clarification and well done. The spelling of the word "looked" wrong to me, but I didn't know the background.
In a time of lessening freedom I'm surprised that anyone would talk like that!
He was probably just parroting an attitude he saw on TV.
The CSI theme/franchise jumped the shark a couple of years ago. It's dead but still kicking a bit.
Prisoner's Dilemma. It's a good read.
If you're using Firefox can't you just untick the "Allow websites to install software" option?
snopes.com seems to still have popups, which is a pity since it's a such great reference site.
Thanks for the 15 seconds of unsolicited laughter.
Better to take the 7 series Beemer anyway - more space for the supermodels.
No, no, no -- what they were unaware of was that people would be able to detect the rootkit!
Modded as funny, but it's true.
The sense of entitlement displayed by some companies is astounding.
I think you might have missed my point. Did you read this part: "as competition becomes frenetic, lying becomes accepted"
The reason "America has become a dump" (your words, not mine) is because having money is now more important than anything else.
Please don't break my legs or kill my children. If you feel compelled to do one or the other, take my legs (but not the middle one).
