So then the two of you are in agreement. Adam Smith opposed the imposition of government rules (which lead to things like government sanctioned monopolies, also known as corporations) on the Free Enterprise system.
Very good. Thanks for elaborating on the GP's point and reinforcing it.
Lead poisoning would explain quite a bit about the resident population of D.C. The place is a human cesspool (I am talking about the residents, not the commuting politicians) and racism is not an adequate explanation. (Well, some people posit reverse-racism and the fostering of an underclass with govt. handouts. But that's classism, not racism.)
I'd say it's well above 55%. There is a multiplier effect that clouds the understanding of many people, who have almost zero understanding of what variant of x86 processor their box contains. Every PeeCee out there has at least a handful of small 4 and 8 bit embedded controllers in it or connected to it. So by the nature of the way PCs are designed, the motherboard, all the plug in cards and storage devices, peripherals, keyboard and mouse have small processors in them. By this very nature, there is a one-to-many correlation of x86 processors to the rest of the population of processors in the world.
Isn't the burden of proof on the party filing the law suit? Otherwise, I can see where a pretty adventurous circus could ensue, resulting in the deepest pockets almost always winning.
Speaking as someone who has used the Linux kernel a long time, and who has several of the 1992 and 93 releases on published CD-ROM media, that is very interesting. Big chunks of the Free Software out there are up for grabs in a 14-year copyright world.
Almost all of GNU Emacs falls into that category, and the 1996 Linux kernel is looking pretty useful for embedding purposes.
Ethernet won out over BNC years ago, but that doesn't stop people from using coax when it's appropriate,
TenBase-2 and TenBase-T are both forms of ethernet.
BNC is a type of connector.

The MS-DOS mouse driver works in tons and tons of applications from that period. And even today. I still use an elderly version of Ghost to back up systems and create bootable 'restore' CD's. The boot image is a DOS variant and loads the Microsoft Mouse driver to run the Ghost client.

The IBM PC port of Xenix was actually a fairly late port.
Microsoft kept busy porting the Unix code base to a variety of processors (since Xenix was at the time a Microsoft product). In fact, that was a significant part of Microsoft's revenue stream in the early days. They dropped out of that when DOS became lucrative enough, and because every Xenix sale meant passing part of the revenue back to the Unix license owners. Microsoft doesn't like to split revenue on sales.

Actually, Unix is a trademark of the Open Group. You can buy a Unix license off their web site. It's a printed metal license plate. I used to sport one on the front of my vehicle, until I got my new truck which doesn't have a spot for a front plate.
But yes, I do own two Unix licenses. From the organization that licenses it.

Xenix was available for the IBM/PC. Along with CP/M-86 and PC-DOS. But the original IBM-PC wasn't 8-bit. It had an 8-bit data path, because the 8088 processor is designed that way. It's big brother the 8086 has a 16 bit data path, but internally they are both 16-bit CPUs.
I still own an Altos 586 that runs Microsoft Xenix. It sports an 8086 processor and 512K of memory. It has a 20MB hard drive. And it supports 5 user simultaenously (that's what the '5' in the model name is to signify.)
Also the ARRL Handbook now has a book-cd in the back cover. This CD contains the entire contents of the book in PDF form. You can often check the Handbook out of your public library and make a 'backup' copy of the CD. I own about 7 editions of the ARRL Handbook, but my most recent copy is from the library.

If you count the blood sucking, ambulance chasing trial lawyers as part of the insurance scam (the connection there is very strong) you have a point.
That sick kid from a family that can't afford private healthcare could infect yours, it's only common sense to do something about that.
There's a word to use. It's not a new, innovative technique. Quarantine.
The election wasn't about HCR.
It was about not-Bush.
Be honest about it.
simple explanations for simple minds...
By 'simple minds' I assume you mean the minds of those not craven enough to go into Law School.

Do the logs indicate they actually made the five trips on occasion, or did they bill for trips they never made?
Also, you said 'as many as.' What was the average number of trips per day? Did they bill for five trips on two occasions over several months?
I think you meant to type 'the Taliban the Soviet Occupation created.'
There, I corrected it for you.
You're welcome.
It's ammonia and bleach that you don't want to mix. Apparently there was ammonia in the toiler cleaner.
This is very important and everybody should be taught to avoid doing it.

To be fair, those are extra-curricular activities, not part of the degree program.
Broadcasting is sort of obsolete. And Google's YouTube is one of the things replacing it.

But if you do want to get into Tube work, chase down a copy of the Radiotron Designer's Handbook. Published by RCA. By F Langford Smith.
There aren't many better vacuum tube design guides out there.
I have three copies.
Why would you use a ballast resistor.
A few op-amps. One configured as a sawtooth generator. The second as a comparator.
That's just one single op-amp, because they come cheap in a dual package (LM358 or 1458)
