"What they DON'T put in a newspaper, speaks volumes" or something like that.
I love how stupid some "free" newspapers are. They give you a limited number of
free articles you can read, before they cut you off, but, they don't paywall some of
them well. Simply delete the cookies for that site, and you get another round of
free articles.
This was a Heidelberg GTO 46 OFFSET press, not what the bureau of engraving does, which is
the Intaglio method. These notes did look good, with a faux watermark & the dark strip. If a clerk,
bank teller, cash machine didn't FEEL the note, they probably would pass it. Intaglio ENGRAVES
the note between a plate with the reverse image, and a rubber mat/roller. Offset printing just prints
from a cylinder to a rubber roller, then transfers it to the paper. The U.S. experimented with a
faux Intaglio roll fed back in the 80's, to see if it was cheaper to use a continuous web roll of paper
(offset method), versus the Intaglio sheet fed method. Check around, some of those dollar bills
from the late 80's are worth more than face value.
And take the bloody fax machines with the copper!
You know what a PITA it is to adjust a stupid fax machine settings in the modem, to get them to work with VoIP?
You have to disable V.34, disable JBIG compression, set the tx speed to at most V.17, set compression to MH/MR
only, play around with the short protocol settings and on and on, all because people are still tied to a technology
that is about as old as the phone is! If I could get I.T. guys to mount the ATA boxes next to the fax, it would be easier,
but I understand why they place them where they do. I've tried and tried to get people to switch to scan to email, but,
most of the time I run into the "but we've always had a fax machine" reply. Sometimes I run into HIPPA problems, and
they won't give them up, because, and it does make a little bit of sense, if you type a phone number in wrong, pretty good
chance it won't end up on a fax machine somewhere, but, if you type an email address wrong, it could go to someone,
which would be a HIPPA violation. If someone would just turn on secure email....but, nope, they won't do it.
Copper phone lines need to disappear, along with the stupid SLOW fax machines!
(rant off) LOL
Man made global warming is & was nothing more than politics, trying to dictate how countries use their resources,
and to try to steal more resources & MONEY from the developed countries, to continue to give them to the "poor" countries.
Most of the so called poor countries, are in Africa, and because of the backwards lifestyle, and the THUG DICTATORS
that run those countries, until they get a taste of freedom, they will remain poor.
The sun controls our climate, and, runs in 11 year cycles. I remember in the early 70's, Time magazine was telling everyone
that was dumb enough to read it, that we were entering a period of a new ice age, simply because that winter, we had below
zero temperatures for weeks. 10-20 years of climate "research" is but a blink of an eye, in the history of the Earth.
man made global warming is and has always been MADE UP.
The only reason, is to control people who are too stupid to realize that the sun runs in cycles.
We had one of these severe cold snaps in the 70's...lasted most of the winter. It was colder than this even then.
And the next summer? It was hotter than it ever was. Then, in the 80's it moderated, and in the early 90's it heated
up again, then cooled again.
The man made global warming nuts are just trying to control the money the United States and other "rich" countries
have, steal it away, and give it to the "poor" countries, because, under their idea of a Utopian world, if someone has
more than someone else, that isn't fair. Of course, those that make up these rules, are exempt from having more than
anyone else.
You want to see how this would all end? Watch the movie Elysium.
Got a ways to go. Almost up to the height of the SR-71. X-15...yeah a few thousand feet to go.
Chuck Yeager went higher in a modified F-104 back in the 60's....but keep goin' You'll get there
eventually.
In the early 70's, we had DAYS where it was below zero. Early 80's we had a snap like this and
we are having another one...big deal. It's winter. Sometimes it's cold, sometimes it's mild. It is
a little thing called A CYCLE.
The fly fisherman might try to snag one in the air with a hook, but I don't think the shooters
will have a problem. They see one, they'll just shoot it down, as they should.
Should have used the pipeline, but thanks to Warren Buffet striking a deal with his buddy
Obama, he talked him into canceling the pipeline, in return for a HUGE campaign donation,
it all goes by rail & truck...via WARREN BUFFET's own rail system.
Thanks for trolling!
Saw the headlines, KNEW someone would jump on Fox.
I gave up on all "talking heads" version of televised news about 2 years ago. I'm conservative (NOT to be confused with
Republicans). I believe everyone should be treated EQUALLY, not one group elevated above another. I do not believe
in political correctness, I do have faith, but I do not berate those that don't. I believe the government meddles too much
into the lives of people. I believe it is good that government helps those that, for whatever reason, have fallen on hard
times, but I believe those that are capable of working, should work. I think it is good that we allow people to immigrate
to this country, to broaden our country, but, believe those that sneak across, should be sent back until such time that
they come across legally. I believe that the "nation building" started during Korea, Iran, Vietnam, and through Iraq &
Afghanistan, should STOP. I believe that that countries should defend themselves. I believe that unless one of our
embassies is attacked, if an INTERNAL struggle in a country begins it is NONE of our business. As far as I'm concerned,
WW2 should have been the last major war we were involved in, until Kuwait asked for our help in 1991. After it was over,
ALL of our troops should have been brought back, as with the ones still stationed in Japan & Germany.
I believe all of our elected representatives, including the president should adhere to the Constitution, period!
As with any 24/7 so called news operation, Fox, MSNBC has a dedicated news program, with the rest of the time being
filled with OPINION shows. THAT is the difference. I might watch a video clip of a NEWS show, but do not watch those
opinion shows. They are always biased, and, set up in such a way, to try to force someone into saying something that
will make a juicy 30 second sound bite. Both conservative leaning and liberal leading news organizations flood the world
with their versions of news. Carefully editing sound bites, carefully wording stories, to drive opinion.
As was said many decades ago...it's what they DON'T put in the papers, that speaks volumes.
to me...even as a 10 year old kid, I remember every NASA flight, save for the first 2. It may seem
like a long time ago, but to me, it doesn't seem that long ago.
Wow! I thought I was looking at an Apollo 11 photo! I remember as a 10 year old kid looking at the photos on TV,
and these look about the same...what did they use? An old Motorola Razr flip phone?
I was 9 years old when Apollo 8 flew to the moon. I remember that Christmas eve broadcast just like it was yesterday.
I was a "space nut" from the first launch I saw, John Glenn (being too young to remember Sheppard, Grissom's flights.
I had a standing pact with my mom who woke me up to watch the launches, no matter what time they took off.
Saw every launch from Glenn, to the first few space shuttle launches. I remember that Christmas eve, opening
presents, pausing to watch that broadcast on that black & white tv in the living room, and seeing those grainy images
of planet Earth thinking how small the world was. Apollo 8, kind of closed out 1968. Being 8, I didn't understand but
today I do, how important that flight, and that broadcast were to a nation that was tearing itself apart. In the space of
a year, the Tet Offensive in Viet Nam, Martin Luther King Jr, Robert F. Kennedy were both murdered, the riots after King,
the 1968 democratic convention riot in Chicago among the many problems of that year, that one little broadcast, helped
close out the year, on a positive note.
Before the advent of time shifting, people were at the mercy of when broadcasters would air shows.
When the VCR came along in the 70's, it was the beginning of the end for the major networks.
With online shows, streaming and the like the monopoly that the networks, cable & satellite services
had on how & when we watched television has changed forever. Ad revenue is going to continue to
shrink, which might be a double edged sword. It's that ad revenue that helps offset the costs of
televised shows. With it shrinking, how are they going to pay for the shows? Will we reach a point
where everything will have to be pay for view?
Just walk into any black neighborhood in "the ghetto" and if they vote, see who they vote for.
They vote for the liberal democrats. Why? Because they've been told for the past 50 years
that Republicans want to take away their free stuff. What they fail to understand is that the
democrats are the ones holding them in bondage. They are dependent on food stamps, welfare
and the like, for basic survival. As long as the democrats & rino's in DC continue to give them
just enough to survive, they will continue to vote for them. After all, why work, when someone
will give you barely enough to survive on? Free food, free healthcare, free cellphones...they think
life is good.
Crosstalk alone I would think would be an issue. Pumping that kind of data, even if it is digital, the amplitude on the line would introduce crosstalk I
would think. Granted, it is analog, but a 33.6 fax over copper causes headaches.
I just wish people would give up the fax machines, and use secure scan to email. Trying to get a V.34 modem to work on a VoIP line is a headache
since most network guys (for obvious reasons) locate the ATA box in the equipment room, by the time you string a RJ11 cord all the way to the fax,
the signal level has dropped to the point that there isn't enough current on the ring signal to trip the relay to tell the fax to answer the line.
Then, introduce a little attenuation into the line, after the handshake signal, and you end up with it doing multiple retrainings trying to get a connection
fast enough to send a document. I just wish fax machines would DIE DIE DIE.

Never willingly give up your swimmers to ANY woman...you know it will come back to bite you in the ass!
The SUN won't vaporize our water? The sun??? I thought man was causing global warming?
Fine, just move it down to central America some island right off the coast. Let the stupid U.S. government try to stop it there.

Who cares what they "think". It's up to a court, not the court of public opinion.

Hey, here's an idea. Let each flight figure it out. Get someone yapping away? Fly down to 15,000 feet, open the door and toss em out.
Everyone panic!!!
