Remember, the first moon missions took place without the use of CAD.
That's hard to believe, isn't it?
Nowadays, *everything* is designed with CAD, so energetic and naive young people that have experimented with computer-aided software think, "That's easy!" and then...
I'm still a bit pissed-off that such a change would be made, unannounced, to people like me that actually pay for their services. This is a bit angrifying.
Speaking of graphics, why am I seeing Twitter and Facebook graphics next to the "Read More..." link? Has my subscription expired and this has been going on all along? Is it time to "opt-out" of Slashdot?
Us field-experienced guys did that one better - mylar sheets written-on with plastic "leads" in "pencils". Works well in the rain when Shit Has To Absolutely Be Done, Right Now.
For stuff like taking details back to fabrication so that repairs can be made RIGHT NOW to avoid things exploding.
Not the "RIGHT NOW" currently associated with having to implement climate change mitigation that will avoid killing the planet in 2032 (or is it 2302).
Down mods from the usual gang is expected as soon as this message is read.
I predict that none of the down-modders will have ever done critical work in theory or in the field. The best "arguers" will be just that; people trained in debating and politics.
The more important question is: is it better to flush the toilet with the lid closed or with it open? I'm thinking about the quantity of residual feces and urine deposited on my toothbrush.
In theory, keeping the lid closed may cause an increased air suction effect into the bowl and, as a result, increased atomization of liquid-agitated turds into the bathroom environment as it shoots out from the smaller openings created between the lid and the porcelain.
Anything that results in less shit in my mouth is OK with me.
It's better to prevent a catastrophe than to fix one
On the other hand, creating a crisis where none previously existed makes a lot of money.
What are the actual death numbers for H1N1 vs. normal flu deaths again?
I'm one of those allergic people people you hear about every now and then - I adapt to my surroundings, not expecting others to accommodate me. My opinion is that people have gone overboard regarding germs and allergies.
(I was one of those kids that had never-ending allergy tests and shots back in the 60s and 70s, I'm still here. Feel free to ask me questions)
According to an "insider" friend, this is pretty much a standard design that Westinghouse is working on. More detailed info if you want and can contact me.
It looks to me that slashdot has been infested with a bunch of English Lit grads that have the debate exercises figured out quite well. They're quite skillful but inherently dishonest.
Three weeks ago how many media (TV, newspapers, magazines) stories did you see of people that had questions about AGW? As opposed to the almost daily onslaught of the coming-any-day-now catastrophe if we don't do something RIGHT NOW.
They demand the power to do this, but they refuse to release their data. They refuse to publish the code for their computer models. They refuse to rationally refute skepticism. They refuse to understand human behavior as described by the discipline of Economics
Yet those of us questioning get modded down, and yes, shouted down. I wonder why that is, slashdot.
Can you confirm for me that CO2 is not planned to be listed as a pollutant by the EPA?
Do we actually know that the greenhouse effect exists outside of artificially-created, dumbed-down simplistic demonstrations more suited to Discovery Channel physics experiments to teach kids?
I'm wondering if people actually think the planet exists within a static, artificially-created, impermeable plastic membrane into which CO2 can be injected in order to demonstrate the Greenhouse Effect.
Perhaps I'm being ignorant (or possibly even evil).

Reminds me of Sir Robin at the Bridge of Death.
I seem to remember that is was used for ballistic simulations for the Abrams tank.

Thanks, that seems to have worked.

Has anyone done a comparison to deaths via peanut allergies?
I like the way spam was eliminated.
For some CAD setups it can be up to 7% of the project's drafting budget.
Merci beaucoup, promoter of obvious non-working stuff. In the future, STFU.
1) Define "normal"
2) Don't try to re-define "normal" via politics
Whoever tagged this as !neuroticism probably needs a hug.
Here's a lame-o link:

Spyker has to be the coolest car company name ever. I mean, how cool is that?

I always wondered if he was related to Rockne S. O'Bannon (apparently not, despite the same name and field of work).

Congratulations on not having to say, "My dog ate my homework" too much. Apparently this has been happening a lot recently.

I don't know why you mentioned the Weathermen.
