Try reading the parent poster's last sentence as "Given this, I think that it is completely fair to ban bullet hoses." and see if it doesn't seem reasonable that way.
It was mismanagement of a bunch of other stuff that led to the infrastructure failure in New Orleans, but it was the screwing up of FEMA by Shrub's (mis)administration that resulted in their inexcusably slow, poor, and totally inadequate response to the emergency caused by that infrastructure failure.
Caution: Jews on the March (Score:-1, Troll) by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday January 15, @08:45AM (#22049314) The Jew has emerged from his well appointed layer, ready for blood...
Yeah, but I'll bet that he at least knows how to spell lair.
Oh, by the way, it really should be "well-appointed".
"I resisted upgrading it (a cellphone) as long as possible."
I was forced to "upgrade" from a StarTac to a V265 because of the GPS thing. Oh how I wish (on a nearly daily basis) I could have resisted.
We finally had to "upgrade" from our old Frigidaire after about 30 years because a particular part was no longer available. We sure didn't get 30 years out of its replacement. Our Amana RadarRange microwave gave us at least 20 good years, which is a lot more than I can say about its replacement.
Sometimes it's very rational to fear change. (Especially the kind that happens to your body as you get into middle-age. Although I'd certainly fear getting into the Middle Ages more:-)
Even as an EE, I've never heard of a resistor having a forward bias voltage...
That's because you EE guys are still learning conventional current theory instead of electron current theory, so you think that all those resistors are reverse-biased.:-)
My first PC-clone motherboard (a 4.77 MHz 8088 motherboard I bought used at a swapmeet) had a BIOS in it that was branded 'Unitron.' Is that where you got your user name??
Didn't know it was a computer or telescope brand until after I started using the name. In my case it comes from University Electronics.
Somewhere around here I've got some UNITRON branded install disks for Windows 3.something that I bought several years ago on eBay.
Incidentally, to introduce some topic drift that is still on-topic, classic old computing hardware has a legitimate place in the world, no matter how much Bill Gates insists that no computer should ever be more than 1.5 years old.
You mean the same Bill Gates who releases software which, in order to run properly, needs computers that are "negative" 1.5 years old?
If you adjust your analogy slightly to include Best Western and the airline in question being owned by the same parent company you'd have it about as exactly as an analogy ever can.
The only way it could be more of a do-it-yourself project would be building it with all analog parts.
Perhaps you meant discrete parts, like individual transistors instead of integrated circuits. Discrete parts don't know if they're digital or analog. A transistor used in a digital circuit may think that it's really an audio amp being fed a square (or rectangular) wave.

Please find a dictionary or online equivalent and look up the words "mute" and "moot".

What, no "Giant Rat of Sumatra" jokes yet?
Back in the Thirties and Forties George Sanders played both "The Saint" and "The Falcon" in movies.
I'd think that anyone signing his(?) posts "Falcon" would know about George Sanders.

That's where my data's going when I die.
Norman, is that you?
And I would bet that they visit 5 or fewer.

Shouldn't that be "Britney has a pneumatic set"?
But then again, so did Estaban.
I think that the word for which you are looking is "contiguous".
That's because you EE guys are still learning conventional current theory instead of electron current theory, so you think that all those resistors are reverse-biased. :-)
Isn't burning a (somewhat faster than rust) form of oxidation?
I've never heard wikipedia described so succinctly...
Are you sure he wasn't talking about the government?
I'd add Galbraith's "1929" to that list. Oh, and Taylor Caldwell's "Captains and the Kings" for the real reason we dumped the gold standard.
Just like uranium, except it's jihad friendly.
No, that's an Intel chip, the article specifically says that they're using AMD parts. :-)
...and therefore seesWhen things differ, they differ from one another.
I thought it was supposed to be how many can dance on the head of a pin?
