  4. That brings me back on Things That Turbo Pascal Is Smaller Than · · Score: 1

    My second language was Turbo Pascal, after BASIC. I loved that language.. I was 12, trying to create games.. 320x200x256 raw graphics, stitched together with ASM. I actually created a photoshop type program to edited my "proprietary" raw image files.( I just added a larger header to regular raw graphics files) all in DOS with a Hyundai Super 286 AT 12Mhz 40 meg HD, 4 meg of ram and a 2400 baud modem.

  7. Suprised on MythBuster Developing Light-Weight Vehicle Armor · · Score: 0

    I am actually suprised so many people on here think these guys are so "smart" , "engineers", or "scientist".. I'm not knocking them, but I think Grant is the only person on that show that is smart.. and is capable of completing a full thought. These guys aren't idiots by any means, It's just sad when average is seen as something special.

    LOL :) Aww.. are you a victim of me?
    All the people "I'm sending" are volunteers.
    And this kind of response by you is expected, when it comes down to the nitty gritty you lose.

    "Intimidation by fear (and implied threats of force, including arrest)" In this case I guess the IRS are terrorist too. I can't help you if websters doesn't fit your meaning... perhaps you can get hired by them and change it.
    "Federal decision finding Bush guilty" Wishful thinking on your part If Bush is guilty then an impeachment would be in process and succesful.
    Tyrant.. If he is "unopposed" it's beacause your majority democrat congress is weak. Maybe you should write Nancy Pelosi a letter or run for public office
    I guess with people like you it allways comes down to that question "Why aren't you in Iraq? I guess you've got "other priorities"." Well yes, I do, I'm fighting flawed ideals like yours, here in this country.

  12. Re:Terrorist-free East Germany on Eavesdropping Helpful Against Terrorist Plot [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Ok .. :) 1. Terrorism is the act or acts designed to create fear and terror. Bush's wiretaps are not causing fear or terror for the American people. 2. "In Re: Sealed Case," the FISA appeals court decision cited a previous FISA case [U.S. v. Truong], where a federal court "held that the President did have inherent authority to conduct warrant less searches to obtain foreign intelligence information." The court's decision went on to say: "We take for granted that the President does have that authority and, assuming that is so, FISA could not encroach on the President's constitutional power." 3. A tyrant is a single ruler holding vast, if not absolute power. I don't think bush has this... do you..?? LOL Liberty is not freedom from fear that is preposterous.. Liberty is when someone has the ability to act according to their will. But of course we are a land of laws; this means you can't do everything you want... I hope I don't need to elaborate... Liberty is not a guarantee of happiness.. Where I am, where I'm from, and where I was no bearing here. What have I done? I voted in the best possible interest of my country, resisted Socialist and Democratic Liberalism, among other things.

  13. Re:Terrorist-free East Germany on Eavesdropping Helpful Against Terrorist Plot [UPDATED] · · Score: 1

    Your response to this issue is absolutely and terribly misguided. I truly believe you have little understanding of world events and virtually no understanding of history, let alone the definition of terrorism. Your hatred for conservatism and Bush has really blinded you to reality. "Spying on our own people without even a warrant is terrorism" is one of the most ridiculous statements I've heard in some time. You have ignored, 1 the definition of terrorism, 2 the procedure and requirements for wiretaps and 3. The very fact that the surveillance has been going on long before Bush. I truly believe you also have forgotten what liberty is and what is required to maintain it.

    Once again I question the voracity of a scientist and I'm modded down.. If only i said somthing bad about FOX or GW.. Then i would have been awarded +1 for informative...

  16. Cerial on James Hansen on the Warmest Year Brouhaha · · Score: 2, Informative

    This article does not sound like it was written by a scientist, it sounds like a poor little man who is outraged and upset that anyone would question his admitidly flawed data. I think he needs to take a pill. If Global Warming has increased the earths tempature from .3-.6 C then a .15C IS a big deal.

    I use Greased Lightn', I also say just remove the top layer of skin and you'll remove the bacteria that on it too. Lava Soap works good too. just not in the private areas... unless you into that..

  19. Smoke and Fire on Verizon vs. the Needham Fire Department · · Score: 1

    It seems to me that some people beleive that you must have fire to have smoke.. that is not true.. I have let the smoke out of many electronics without fire.. If the fire department had time to respond and yet there is no evidence of a consumed or partialy cosumed fuel source then I would say that a fire did not exist. Unless you assume that a electrical spark is called a fire. Also the Fire chief claiming that the man is lucky to be alive, is just talking out one side of his mouth. Is the Fire cheif and electrition? If the Circuit was 110v then the chances of death are pretty slim, however if it was 220v and he happened to drill through both insulators, then death could be a real possiblility. I think the fire chief may have a little "I saved your life and property, praise me!" complex and verizon is just trying to cover their ass.

  20. pF or capacitance on A Non-Toxic, Paper Battery / Supercapacitor · · Score: 1

    Did I miss it in the article. Did they list the Farads or capacitance of any measure of this material? If not, what does all this really mean? Everything holds some sort of charge.. unless they specify what value it is, it really doesn't matter.

    I would be more worried about The long term exposure to X-Ray and other Radiation coming from CRT TV's that our fat little kids sit infront of all day eating potato chips, rather than Wifi Radiation. Maybe we shoudl do another dory on that.. the TV or the Potato Chips.
