I do lots of design work and have always used duals. I have three 17inch monitors which allow me to have my three computers to each have dual monitors!
My Windows box uses the left two, my Linux box uses the same left two through a KVM and a VGA switch, and my Mac uses the right two, sharing the center with the pcs through another VGA switch. Works great! If I need to do somethin on the Mac, its a switch away!
One problem though....it scares my wife....oh well.....
The risk for an incident involving a car is much higher than that involving an airplane because most people's exposure to cars is far higher than airplanes. I interact with cars as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian every day. I might fly, as a passenger in an airplane, once or twice a year.
Yes, well, you're right. Though my exposure to a high explosive three inches from my face will probably be my last. So.....for some things, the act itself is dangerous regardless of how many exposures are experienced.
...I once thought Windows was the greatest OS in the world!
People change their minds as they learn! I'd rather have someone who is constantly thinking about the pros and cons, rather than stubbornly insisting that the current course of action will always be the right one!
So....um.....if God is all powerful and such....couldn't He/She/It dictate that life would evolve from a small start and become more?
Sure the bible says that earth was created in a few days, but there isn't any real clear idea how one would define a day. To God, a day may be millions of our years!
Quit trying to explain God and accept that maybe the universe is what it is. Who are we to question what God has done? As my grandfather once said (he was a theologian): If God wants evolution, God gets evolution. Don't waste the energy arguing something we can't prove or disprove.
Wasn't there a movie where they filled a pool with Jello and had a a guy dive in for the effect. I seem to recall something about the stunt guy having a time getting back out.
Hehehe...I have a history degree and have a great job...though not as an historian or teacher. I work in history, but with IT. I maintain the infrastructure of a major museum. I also design exhibits and whatnot, so my degree still pays off, but over half of my job I have no formal traing for.
So yeah, history degrees are still gettng paid and reasonably well (relative to what they usually make).
Yep. I do carry one big heavy laptop around when I need one. Comes with doing heavy work (graphics).
Do you work for Apple? I build systems for clients that are made to be upgraded down the road because many non-profits (who my clients tend to be) can't pay for a brand new system every few years. When I think "desktop", I think about a computer that can be upgraded.
The new iMac is just a heavy laptop without an itegrated keyboard/mouse. There would seem to be a line beyond which it is no longer a desktop and it becomes a "portable desktop" as they have come to call the heavy hitter laptops.
Okay, so it sounds like a laptop that you need to tote a keyboard and mouse with.
Honestly, what major difference is there between a true desktop and a laptop? The abilty to add and remove parts. These are so proprietary, they can be modified only as easily as a laptop.
So why doesn't somebody put a "stalk" into a laptop so that ths monitor sits higher up, but can be used normal when traveling!
I had a situation that pounded home how this isn't a case for the Secret Service. I had a person calling me at work and home harrassing me. It sucked big time and drive my wife crazy. So we called the police and they told us that unless a phiysical threat was made, there was NOTHING they could do. The person calling had the right to call me as much as they wanted so long as there was no physical threat.
Seems that if your name and number is in the public record (phone book), then that is an invitation to call. We got an unlisted number after moving. So no, these guys are still available to be called until their numbers are actually listed as restricted. That's how the police explained it to me.
In an SD70MAC, there are 12 wheels, which are still geared to the electric motors.
What makes the AC engine so neat is that they first generate AC power (all of them do) which is then converted to DC for control (don't know why they do this) and then converted back to AC. They do this because an AC motor can handle a stall without burning up, something HEAVY freights tend to have happen.
An SD70M (SD stands for "Special Duty", 70 was once the engine designation though I doubt that still applies, and the M is for widecab), uses DC motors, but still has AC alternators that are then converted to DC. The large radiator fans on the roof are resister grids to dissipate the excess power as well as cool the prime mover. When using regenerative braking (dynamics for railroaders), there motors are acting as generators, but the power has nowhere to go, so they go into a second set of resisters. When the DC motors stall, they heat up very quickly which can damage the windings.
Rolling resistance may be small, but the locomotove still have a huge job moving the trains along. They don't "just get moving", the have to deal with grades and curves which sap forward movement. If you have ever paced a heavy freight through hilly country, you would know how powerful these machine really are. There are few things as exciting as 24,000 hp throttling up to climb a grade.
So where are the primary sources? I read a few of the example deceits and the author is using as evidence what historians call secondary sources. These are documents that have been once (or more) removed from the situation. He references newspaper and editorials, but never himself interviews the subjects. By doing this, the author allows that he has no more solid footing than Moore and in many ways less due to the film used by Moore.
If you're going to refute a person's work, then take the time to go to primary sources; the victims, the subjects, the documents, etc., and present them for review.
There is something nice about being in a Jeep with the top down once you get where you're going that more than makes up for the added gas price and can't be beat by any rental car.;-)
so my milage is aweful. I just returned from a 1600 mile, 80mph round trip averaging 15mpg. For a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a cinder block, that's not bad!

Its obvious that the candidates are causing this! You think all that hot air is good for the world?

Risk is probability * exposure.
The risk for an incident involving a car is much higher than that involving an airplane because most people's exposure to cars is far higher than airplanes. I interact with cars as a driver, passenger, or pedestrian every day. I might fly, as a passenger in an airplane, once or twice a year.

Not sure what I think of no toilets
Might explain the need for better oxygen producers!
