That is why I run OpenWRT. I can crank up the gain a little to get an edge over my neigbors. I also cracked a bunch of them and set them to one end of the spectrum, reserving the other for myself. That makes me feel selfish so I am considering running on channel 13, which is of course illegal in the US, but is nice clean bandwidth.
Blood substitutes have been around for a while. I remember seeing a demonstration of perfluorocarbon based artificial blood in the early 1980s. You could also breath the stuff. Or at least, the mouse they dropped in it could. This is a differrent approach, artificial hemoglobin, but I think there have been previous versions of that as well.
Well, I'm pretty sure the president appoints the members of the Federal Reserve. As president, he should have acted to reverse their course through whatever means he has as Executive in Chief. Saying their was nothing he could do is a cop-out. That's a lot like the other side saying Clinton had nothing to do with economic expansion. Presidents own their economies and have the power to right the ships, no matter how politically unpopular it is.
That's exactly what Carter did. Presidents appoint Fed Chairmen to four year terms. Carter appointed Paul Volker. Volker took the Fed on a tight money monetarist program targetting the money supply directly rather than the price of money. During Reagan's first term Volker purposely put the US into two tough recessions. That first Reagan term was tough going for the working man. Double digit unemployment and 21% prime rate, but it pretty much killed off stagflation for good, at least so far.
Average mortgage rates during the Carter administration were over 15%! I don't even pay credit cards 15%!!!
Inflation was through the roof (12%).
Unemployment was high (7%).
Interest: Under Reagan, prime rate reached 20%
Inflation: Umh... was it Carter that got us into Vietnam and intervened in the Yom Kippur War? Those were the causes, respectively, of the demand pull and supply push inflation of those years.
Unemployment: By purposefuly creating two recessions (through tight monetary policy) we managed to get unemployment into double digits under Reagan.
everyone knows that perjury was what brought about the whole impeachment thing...
There was no perjury. Perjury is the act of lying or making verifiably false statements on a material matter under oath or affirmation in a court of law or in any of various sworn statements in writing. Starr's questions about Clinton's consensual relationship with Lewinsky was not material to the Paula Jones case. Not only was Clinton not convicted, he was never criminally charged.
Fun trivia about the Jones case: Judge Susan Weber Wright was a law student of Bill Clinton's at the University of Arkansas. While teaching her Admiralty Law class he lost several student's final exams, including hers. He gave them the choice of retaking the exam or getting a B, which I think is ridiculous. He should have just given them As. She took the B and was justifiably unhappy about it. I think she filed a grievance with the university. Still, she saw her way clear issuing a summary judgement in his favor when she found the Jones case to be without legal merit.
do you know what she was convicted of? It was not insider trading, it was multiple counts of lying to investigators and obstruction of justice. Just like Scooter libby. Just like Bill Clinton.
Bill Clinton was convicted of lying to investigators and obstruction of justice? When did that happen? I remember him being acquitted of perjury and obstruction of justice by a 55-45 vote in the US Senate.
Should have previewed. I meant you can't use them to talk to non-Mac gTalk users. Of course you can talk to other iChat users. You can do that over any jabber server. Or over AIM for that matter.
Umh yeah... I do that too. However, since gTalk doesn't currently support AV, you can't use the AV features of iChat. My point was that this product uses the same core technologies as iChat for AV, SIP and h.264. So if Google uses it as a basis for gTalk AV, there is a high probability of AV compatibility. And more importantly, it would cement a standard with which iChat is compatible. Currently there is no concensus on what jabber AV should look like, although jingle is good a basis.
A cursory reading of the product FAQ reveals it is SIP based and supports H.264. Hopefully means that Mac users will be able to use iChat as a gTalk client, since it uses the same protocols and codec. Better yet, this could mean real standardization.
Chimerism is also a source of the exceedingly rare brindle coat pattern in horses. In such cases the different color hairs will have different DNA. In one case this caused two consecutive DNA sample sent to a lab for pedigree verification to return negative parentage for both the sire and dam, even though the owner had personally witnessed both the fertilization and the birth and hence knew for sure who the foal's parents were. DNA from the stallion's blood samples also showed no evidence of a Y chromosome.

I presume he is talking about package management. Do the current SunOS/Solaris versions ship with modern package management? Because the stuff that came with 2.8 and was crap.
AFP over IP *IS* very chatty. It uses the IP broadcast address to send out Appletalk broadcasts (over IP!) then connects to the file server directly using either IP or Appletalk (if the server is antique.)
I don't understand what you are saying. AFP is a presentation protocol. It merely provides the data transfer syntax. Apple's OS X Server implementation offers three discovery methods: AppleTalk (specifically NBP, ZIP and RTMP over DDP), Bonjour (Zeroconf) and Service Location Protocol. Both Bonjour and SLP leverage IP Multicast. You can use any or all of these methods. Or you can turn them all off and just map users to home directories in your favorite directory service.
Silent shotgun shells are much more effective and economical than noise suppressors. Not so good for sneaking up on people in crowds I suppose, but they are very effective (quieter than the mechanical noise of the action) and add no limitations to manually operated shotguns.
I would add that the author of TFA doesn't understand the physics of hand to hand combat very well. It is true that targets will not fly accross the room when kicked. In fact the better targetted the kick the less they will recoil. However, when kicking you are accelerating much of your body (hip, leg, foot) toward the target. The reaction has to overcome this momentum. Furthermore, if you use orthodox technique you have a connection to the ground specifcally designed to transfer the reaction through my musculo-skeletal structure into the earth (the emphasis on this base varies from style to style, but it always exists). In movies people are always jump kicking, but in real life that is of limited utility. You don't want to lose that connection to the ground unless absolutely necessary.
"10. How many deer, raccoons, foxes, coyote or bears are there in the park?
There are approximately 200 whitetail deer in the park. In 1987, a population of deer decided to make their home here year round. Since then, the population has been increasing - they have no real enemies to control their population other than cars."
However, it is pretty clear that your intent was to discredit his argument purely by assaulting his character (hence the use of the word "essentially").
The only thing that is clear is that you are calling me a liar. So fuck you.
Third, this is basically an ad hominem argument... he's a "former scientist", and let's just assume he's an objectivist, commits fraud, etc so he couldn't possibly be right. Please.
People around here use that term ad hominem a lot. It doesn't mean what you think it means. Well it does literally, but not in the context of logic and rhetoric. In order to have been making an ad hominem argument I would first have to be making an argument. The argument you inferred did not exist in my comment. I just wanted to know what the hell constituted a "former scientist." If anything I was criticizing the author of the article for making a vague and ridiculous characterization. My point was, in order to literally be a "former" scientist you would have to have done something ridiculously extreme. I do want to know how he got into civil engineering. He teaches it at Ottowa, which is a very reputable school.
Among its authors are Tad Murty, a former scientist who believes human activity makes no contribution to global warming.
Has he abandoned empiricism and scientific method in favor of rationalism? Disavowed science? Become an Objectivist? Had his degrees revoked for fraud? Who is this guy? And if his training is in oceanography, how did he get into civil engineering?
I remember watching that exchange and all Clinton did was express himself poorly. The prosecutor's question did not agree in tense. He started out in the past tense but conjugated the verb to be in the present tense. In order to answer accurately Clinton needed to know whether he meant "is" or "was" (actually "are" or "were". It was an important distinction. Unfortunately for Clinton, he didn't ask for that clarification very well. Also he was snotty about it. I'm no big Clinton fan, but the is-is meme is very misleading.
The most famous exploding robot I know is rocket car magnate Malfunctioning Eddie. "Hi I'm Malfunctioning Eddie, and I'm malfunctioning so badly, I'm practically giving these cars away."
Dirty, hot, raw, nasty socialist sex. Even as I write this, socialists are fucking your daughters, you capitalist pigs. They may go on to marry Biff Uppercrustington III, but they will always masturbate to the image of that dirty, smelly French socialist that fucked the living shit out of them in college.
God I wish I still had mod points. The only flaw in your otherwise acute analysis is that you left out Jewish. They will masturbate to the image of that dirty, smelly Jewish, French socialist that fucked the living shit out of them in college. A minor but important detail.
I wasn't going to rub it in, but I can't resist. She also tivos hot chicks for me when I am not around and points out women on the street. Oh yeah, she likes porn too. If she didn't hate football so much I would suspect she was a man.

Because they have Lucas regrigerators!
Well, we've established that you don''t live in DC. People hit deer all the time on Rock Creek Parkway.
