  1. The 'psycho' part of a pack job is just a small part of the overall process, and is completely independent of whether you do a flat/stack or pro pack. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  2. Where did you get the idea that the last 3 button pushes are better "long"? There is nothing in the Jan '95 note from SSK that says anything about this, and I've never done anything other than very short/sharp clicks. http://www.cypres-usa.com/cyp16.htm People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  3. Wrong. http://www.pcprg.com/cyprespc.htm So, consider that the unit uses about/at most around 100 times less power at 'rest' compared to when the LED is on/calibrating. Turning off the unit takes, say 10 seconds or so. So if the unit were on for 100*10=1000 seconds or about 16 minutes, then you are better to turn it off. Even with the assumptions that I haven't listed, or even if it is 1000 times less power, then it would be about 2.5 hours for the break even point. So I think it is fairly safe to make the obvious conclusion. The reason why the battery voltage is lower when the ammeter was connected is because a parallel circuit is established, the measurement affects the system by draining some power. A more expensive meter with a higher impedence would use less. For a good description of how to turn it off reliably, see (it is all about doing a fast and sharp 'click'): http://www.cypres-usa.com/cyp16.htm People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  4. I think aliens are studying our culture as anthropologists would. They see professional wrestling and reality shows, and decide that we're not ready to be introduced to them. From the Universe song (Python's Meaning of Life): So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure, How amazingly unlikely is your birth; And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space, 'Cause there's bugger all down here on Earth!

  5. Yes, the average temperature in your refrigerator has no meaning to this subject. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  6. That analogy wallows in a vast sea of crappiness! Okay, imagine a shuttlecock at 72F . . . You are sooo bad!

  8. Well..well..well he's a denier, as bad as a holocaust denier! There is no room for dissent, this is a settled issue, except for those bad-as-a-holocaust deniers. From the Special Report with Brit Hume: and just because it is worth repeating, as it completely refutes the primary assertion inherent in this thread: People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  9. It is inspiring that common sense prevailed. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  10. I agree, to the very, very small extent that having a military recruiter on campus is a distraction. They don't have to make presentations to classes, no need for them to be any burden, or distraction besides a small office and being noticeable in their uniform, just like the cops that spend all day at high schools are noticeable. Your implication that S.F. banned them so that they could focus on education is shrill hyperbole, and wallows in a vast sea of lameness. As I said before, banning recruiters is within their jurisdiction, and withholding federal funding is within the jurisdiction of the federal government. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  11. I suppose it would have that effect, but no way is that their 'reason' for doing it. As a previous president once said, they "loath" the military. I agree, but S.F.'s banning military recruiters from being on campus is a political statement, when they should be focusing on education instead of showing they're more anti-military/anti-war than everyone else. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  12. Are you competing with Billvon for the title of crappiest analogies? That was a whopper! It is within the rights of S.F. to deny military recruiters in high schools. I think it is also appropriate for the federal government to withhold funding. Welcome Skyrad!

  13. I don't care if it's shagg pile or floorboards, if a womam is allowing me to play in the Couchie Zone, I'm not about to complain about the decor Quite right, but improvements can be made. Floorboards? not sure what that means. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

  14. All you people trying to enforce, your prepubecent standards on others The advantage of being able to confirm post-pubescent status by means of thick fur is vastly overrated. Much better to touch soft, smooth skin than fur. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  15. It is understandable that the chief WMD inspector and the president don't consider the WMD found there to be significant. I agree with that. But the question wasn't asked in that way, it was a straightforward question, with a simple answer. Viewers of Fox News are better informed than most, and will be more likely to know there was in fact some found. If a more specific question was asked such as, "Were any WMD at ALL found in Iraq?" a different answer would result. I'd like to think we can agree on this, but since it shows you to be wrong in your assertion about Fox News viewers being uninformed, I don't think it will happen. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  16. That person was likely answering a different question than asked - which is a common pitfall of such polls. Just because he should have known better doesn't change that. Can't you even admit that there were in fact some WMD found, even if it wasn't much and was old? Why would all the stuff before the ellipsis be needed in the question, if not to color the response? Again, sorry, you are wrong. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  17. Why avoid the simple question about your opinion of the Camp David negotiation? The details of that negotiation are now known, so what do you think about it? Do you think it should have been accepted? Do you agree that it was Arafat himself that rejected it? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  18. The correct answer to that question is yes. I understand that you'd like to think the question means something different than what the words say. Fox News viewers are more likely to have heard reports of the connections and communications that were going on between them. The term "working closely" is more likely to get a positive response because of that. A broad, somewhat vague question like that is not the best for making the conclusion you make. Did the question actually include the 3 dots (...)? Why would that be needed? Why would everything in the question preceeding the dots be included, if not to shape a response? It is absolutely another example of journalistic misconduct. I think a respondent to the poll is actually more likely to want to answer a different question - whether they are in favor of the war. I see the 'approval of the war' results reported quite often on Fox News. I also have seen in-depth interviews of pollster firms discussing the pitfalls of polls, and how they are commonly misused and misreported. That reporting was on Fox. So, thanks for posting the exact wording of the questions (although I'd still like to know if 3 dots were in the question) so that I could show that the results you claim are bogus. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  19. Fox News viewers are probably more likely to answer correctly the question, "Did we find any WMD in Iraq?" Much depends on the exact wording of the question. I think the question that you posted will always get a more positive response from those that know some WMD was found. Those designing the question to be asked can intentionally word it that way in order to get a desired response - in this case showing that Fox News viewers believe more falsehoods. I think poll results should have to include an exact wording of the question. That is often missing from the reporting of the results. A good example was an approval poll of Clarence Thomas. Instead of just asking whether people approved of him or not, the question included a lengthy list of accusations made against him, with the final question about approval being at the end. The reporting of the result (by CBS I believe) did not include the full text of what was asserted and asked to each poll participant. I heard the full story of this instance of journalistic misconduct on Fox News. Depending on the exact wording of the question, I think Fox News viewers are likely much better informed than those of other networks.

  20. I don't think the term terrorist has any value. An act of war is an act of war. WWII is usually considered a 'justified' war, but at least some of the strategy to win that war included the intentional killing of civilians, and not just as a regrettable by-product of attacks on military targets. Arafat's negotiators left Camp David with a deal they recommended to him, but he could not agree. Dennis Ross, head of the US team helping the negotiations, has made it clear which side backed out after all the other parties thought it was settled. He now believes that Arafat would never have agreed to a negotiated settlement, but he needed to go through the motions. I think it is absolutely wrong to conclude Israel doesn't want peace. Do you think the Camp David deal should have been accepted? I wish I could find the text of some extended interviews that Mr. Ross gave concerning this exact subject. I think I'll consider his take on events to be accurate for now, he was there and seems to be a very honest and reasonable guy.

  21. A funny cartoon about offset credits People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  22. I thought it was a term describing the airport layout, not relevant to the type of aircraft using it. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  23. The civic and accord hybrids aren't as popular as the Toyota Prius because they don't look different enough to let everyone know you're driving a hybrid.

  24. It's simultaneously sad and amusing to watch you drive yourself into a rage over me. maybe it's one of those subconsciously "wanting you" kinda things. You know it's a really thin line between love and hate. Maybe your comment is one of those subconsciously "I want to insult a straight person, so I'll imply their gay" kinda things. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
  25. It's simultaneously sad and amusing to watch you drive yourself into a rage over me. OK, you are easily amused. That's not my fault. You're once again pretending to read my mind. You vastly overestimate your ability to gauge my rage (that rhymes - cool!) Again, please don't pretend to read my mind. You, however, have made it clear in your own words that you enjoy pushing the buttons of conservatives to piss them off. Just a few days ago I thought we were engaging in useful debate. Was that not as much fun as snide remarks? You're still communicating with me, even if you're not contributing to the debate. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am
