Quite right! I thought Zaphod was better when the heads were side by side like in the original BBC version instead of over/under.

$2.08/gallon in Central Ohio. For those that have cars that are "required" to run on premium... Engines can be designed to make more power when premium (higher octane) gas is used because the the compression ratio can be higher and ignition timing can be advanced more - higher octane gas resists pre-ignition or 'pinging'. This pinging was very common in high compression engines of long ago, and people would retard the timing from normal spec until it wouldn't ping. Preignition is very bad for the engine. Modern engines prevent pinging with sensors that detect the sound and automatically adjust to eliminate it. Some automakers will require premium gas because their engines can be designed to make more power if it uses a higher octane fuel. In order to be able to advertise the higher power output, they must tell you that the higher octane fuel is required. There is usually some disclaimer in the owner's manual that admits you can use a lower grade gas if no other is available. The engine will make slightly less power because the ignition timing will adjust itself. The guys in the engine design group at Honda R&D admitted to me that there is no other reason for the premium fuel requirement. This should apply to other manufacturers.

Is there good reason to believe that Syria is cooperating with us by sharing intelligence? If not, then your charge makes no sense. I really don't know, but had suspected the opposite was true.

Do you know which automakers? Some of them have no problem with improved standards. Honda, for instance, has not complained about the schedule for implementing new emission or mileage standards when the Big 3 were crying their eyes out to congress.

around $2.08/gallon is common here in Central Ohio. Some news sources are now running stories about how low gas prices will increase inflation! They just have to find some way to portray it as bad news for Bush, whether prices go up or down.

Good thing the power plants operated by the state don't contribute. California for a long time has had separate emission regulations, it would be within their legitimate power to make those laws tougher or even require 0 emission vehicles by law, but this is bullshit. Arnold should squash this, I hope he didn't have approval authority. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

NO president would have the skill/stealth to pull it off, I think. 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

Yep, that is a popular piece of bullshit also. http://usinfo.state.gov/media/Archive/2005/Jan/14-260933.html http://www.snopes.com/rumors/israel.htm#add People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

It did NOT show charges blowing up. It showed windows blowing out. One mechanism for that to happen is air pressure from the collapsing floors. It so happens that they now think the when the support structure failed on the critical floors (where the structure was hot, the steel weakens at much less than the melting temp), the structure was still tied in to the outer steel skeleton, and it actually pulled the sides of the building inward. Any other examples that you need help to disprove? People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Watch the video Sides: yes I choose to find out the truth or disprove the ones that question what we know right now as the truth. Thats my side. Any problem with that? I've watched the video. There are plenty of sources for you to seek proof that the claims made by the morons are false. Which of thes moronic claims is so high up on your list of 'not yet proven false'. Yes, I have a problem with that. I do appreciate that you make it clear which side you're on.

I think it would be reasonable to have a referendum on splitting the country, perhaps in 3 pieces. Canada allowed it.

What bit of the investigation was lacking? What bit of non-evidence do you think is so convincing? It is time to choose sides. It appears you have done so.

So, you don't think they are "out to get us"? The thoughts you have expressed really suck. 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

Did I understood your method correct (pls see attachment)? This assembly does not take apart without clue? That is it. If you put the joint at the base of the larkshead, there is very little stress on it - so it won't come apart.

You will never have all the information. Especially if you want to believe a conspiracy, there will always be some new doubt. I think a great example of the stupid conspiracy ideas is that the towers fell too quickly - faster than gravity would have pulled them down! I would like to know exactly how this would have resulted even if it was an intentional demolition? What mechanism was used to pull down faster than gravity would have done? The answer is that the assertion is false, it did not fall down too fast. People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but surely the two locking stows are under no additional pressure as the bag lifts out of the container? As I understand it, the only way to add tension is from the lines, and they're being metered by the other stows. There is a lot of extra pressure because of the weight of the canopy fabric will have to be accelerated (the pilot chute yanks it out of the container). The only thing that prevents the bag being stripped off the canopy are the locking stows, they will be stretched to some extent because of the extra forces involved with the acceleration. Someone a while back posted a picture of a D-bag with the locking stows stretched an amazing amount as it was lifting.

It was available in the local Walmart, but I can't find it in any local stores. I haven't made them in so long that I now need a new source, probably will be online.

Bad form, especially for a moderator. However, I'm glad that libs are making the moral comparisons. Makes it much easier for them to keep losing elections.

Have been implicated...so, are you implying that there is some conspiracy to not investigate or cover it up? Soldiers have been convicted for such crimes, why would civilians be given a pass? How will you know when to be satisfied that it has been investigated properly if charges are not filed? Sounds to me like you're assuming that any decision to not prosecute is an automatic sign of corruption/consipiracy.

If some Christian facists in the US commit some act such as bombing an abortion clinic or assasinating an abortion doctor, they are vigorously prosecuted and severely punished. The same cannot be said of how many countries deal with Islamic facists. HUGE difference, I think.

Quite right! It was a crappy. worthless comparison, in my opinion. I'm not a fan of such comparisons, especially when they are so crappy.

I make my own. My method uses no adhesive. Put the 'joint' in the larkshead where there is little tension, and they've never pulled apart. Years ago bulk silicone tubing could be found in the fishing/sporting goods section of any department store (really cheap per foot). I finally was going to make some more, but now I can't find it in the stores. I'm sure a search will find some place to order from. Use a pair of needlenose pliers to turn one end over about 5mm. Insert the closed pliers into the other end and open the pliers to expand the tubing. Now take a pair of hemostats (sp?) or similar instrument used for other purposes to grab the turned over end of the tubing and insert it into the opened end. Carefully slide the tubing off the pliers and you're done. No need to glue anything. Using adhesive instead of turning over the end would result in a little less bulk, so that is an option also. I only use tube stows for the critical 2 locking stows. I like knowing they are strong and unlikely to break when they are under so much tension - as the bag is being lifted off.

Unless of course as a company to profit you have to be a "friend" of the administration to be able to do business. But it isn't true. The companies that are "friends" as you put it, have been doing that kind of work for a long time and got plenty of business during the Clinton Administration. There isn't a long list of companies that can viably compete for some of the big contracts. That doesn't mean there isn't corruption, but that is independent of what party is in the White House, I think.
