> ...I'm locking myself in from now on and sending him an email reminding him that he is not legally allowed to come into my flat without reasonable advanced notice/permission unless it's an EMERGENCY... —————————————————————————————— I do not know what the laws about flat rental are in UK, but I do guess that in any civilized country no landlord is allowed to enter into a rented flat (of his property) without proper notice and without consent by renter, with or without renter in the house, for a number of good common sense reasons: you could have money on the table, you can have confidential documents on the table (think of a lawyer or a researcher or whatever else), you can have valuable property around, you can walk around your flat naked, you can have a very good time with a fantastic bloke of your choice , you

I'll give my opinion as well, beyond the ones of other folks. > Can you jump from a trike? Short answer: yes. Long answer. Yes, but it's NOT a completely good idea and it's NOT completely legal (if definitely illegal at all). I do not know the laws in US but in Europe and in my country, but, tipically, to skydive you need a DZ (to land in) and an aircraft rated for skydivers's launch and a pilot who is rated to launch skydivers: I assume that no ultralight aircraft can go under the category "rated for skydivers's launch", furthermore an ultralight pilot (generally speaking) to carry one (tipically the ) "passenger" must be an instructor; I don't see "possible" that same instructor pilot is also a "pilot rated for skydivers's launch on an ultralight aircraft". Now. Cleared the legal issue (= ZERO ), let's talk a little bit about technical feasibility. Granted also that your landing field is unpopulated of humans/things/objects so having ZERO possibility of hurting/damaging anyone/anything (your skydiving insurance would cover NOTHING if happened during this ). You can launch off a trike, yes, but you need a lot of (skydiving) experience, for a number of reasons, position (rear/front) of propeller included (...not really nice to be chopped by the propeller...), for the (high) possibility of entagling somewhere (ultralights are tipically full of cables running everywhere), for the possibility of severely making the ultralight quite unstable after skydiver's launch, and the launch itself must be very well thought/planned/tried/trained to try to avoid ANY possible problem (entangling with being the most possible); consider also that you are launching (practically speaking) yourself in (nearly) dead air, no air stream to keep you up/stable at exit time, just like a BASE jump or a balloon skydive: if you have height and exit unstable (and have experience), fine, sooner or later you'll recover your stability; if you don't have too much height available, well, if you exit unstable, well... ...I'd like to see the video . Anyway. If you will ever do the trike skydive, I want be aming the fiorst one to see the pictures/video Stay safe out there Blue Skies and Soft Walls BASE #689 - base_689AT_NO_123_SPAMyahoo.com

> Kingston have just released a 256GB memory stick (cost around £500) but wow ————————————————————————— Theroretically very good indeed, actually jolly crap stuff. I own a 64 GB flash memory stick, which is quite a nice device to carry around movies, music, whatever but at 10 MB/s it takes a lifetime to fill it up. And being read at 20 MB/s doesn't change so much the timing when copying data onto a PC's HD. A 256 GB flash memory to be written on at 10 MB/s = 0.009765625 GB/s is going to be completely filled up after: 256 GB / 0.009765625 GB/s = 26214.4" = 7 h 16' 54.4" You fill it up after 7 h And you can copy the content onto a PC's HD in 3.5 h Not a really piece of technology. Yes, it's small and easy to carry around; it takes a lifetime to use it , though. If you relly need to carry (a lot of) data, either you go in the direction of using SSD 2.5" HD (which can be written at about 100-150-200 MB/s) but they are extremely expensive, plus it would need a self powered box to be able to use it, or using a traditional external 2.5" HD which are availbale at 500 GB of size and can be written at about 60 MB/s.

Been there done that...... ...here too. Sex with the ex is (nearly) always a bad idea. Could be done in some particular cases, considered to be to the above statement, and only in the actual case in which neither parties are emotionally involved, and in a peak of passion; but what is basically wrong is to at first stage. The question is: why are you looking for your ex? For what purpose? Searching what? And, in case of sex (still, being very careful about NOT being any more emotionally involved), what happens next?!?!? Is this for ever, or the beginning of a situation? For the , I could understand happenning in a passion burst, having met you ex "by chance"... As far as the beginning of a situation, I see this leading to no good at all...

> Example of a "knowledge line" por favor? ——————————————————————————— Any of the above, with exclusion of the most sex-oriented/sex explicite ones, said with the right posture, having already been (you cannot show up to a girl as a perfect foreigner coming from the back and hoping not be sent to fuckoff), nice attire, nice look, right tone of voice, with the right mix of ass face/bad guy/not too arrogant attitude, after having tried to understand if she ever looked at you, all the above plus other "things" can improve your chances. Other nice can be: 1) Hello, sorry to disturb you but I was looking at you, and you resemble so much my 4th girl friend. In fact, I've got only 3 girlfriends so far. 2) Hello.

Nice piercing, bubbles!!! Thanks for sharing it with us

Very nice piercing and very nice attractive, flat belly indeed

1. Whats your name? Andrea (I am a bloke

> Burgess and his team are outstanding the best MotoGp engineers on the planet, hands down —————————————————————————————— I perfectly know the story of Jeremy and that Valentino wanted Jeremy and all his staff to follow him from Honda to Yamaha. I do agree that Jeremy is the best motorbike engineer around, hands down. Jeremy can get the best (and something more) out of a motorbike, sometimes he does miracles, but he cannot do double miracles when a certain number of HP is simply missing. The real culprit for Valentino's defeat first in 2006 and then in 2007 is that Yamaha, on the fact that he was Valentino Rossi who was putting his ass on their motorbike, they didn't do that much (probably nothing...) to improve the bike, especially in the power side. In 2006 Valentino lost for an incredible number of motorbike/engine failures (which, in the motorbike races, it is quite a rare event that a motorbikes breaks down) and Hyden was indeed very, very regular. In 2007 lost because his Yamaha had got crappy power compared to Ducati (and really crappy Michelin tires), what Valentino and the rest of the world crew did was another sport. Honour and skill and merit to Casey Stoner indeed to be able to handle Ducati, to have been able to interpret Ducati's power/behaviour, passing from being the young chap behind Capirossi (earning 1/10 of Capirossi and being a good world class driver, like other 5 or 6 riders) to being the World Champion hands down. Giving 30" to Valentino and rest of the crew on a race is part due to the skill of Casey but a LOT was due to the power of Ducati. In an Italian forum, I read a post saying something like: "Casey must infinitely thank the G.o.d. of kangaroos for having Ducati let him drive such a motorbike" If (yes, this the story of "if's"

> Casey is not a “good rider”, he will prove to be one of the all time greats. And Rossi, well he will just have to take up golf like the rest of us. Or skydiving —————————————————————————————— Have you got the gipsy'sd glass sphere to foresee the future, or what? Past is past (=facts), future is future (anything is possible). Let me write down few data. Valentino Rossi 1996 125 cc Aprilia 1 victory 9th 1997 125 cc Aprilia 11 victories World Title 1998 250 cc Aprilia 5 victories 2nd 1999 250 cc Aprilia 9 victories World Title 2000 500 cc Honda 2 victories 2nd 2001 500 cc Honda 11 victories World Title 2002 MotoGP Honda 11 victories World Title 2003 MotoGP Honda 9 victories World Title 2004 MotoGP Yamaha 9 victories World Title 2005 MotoGP Yamaha 11 victories World Title 2006 MotoGP Yamaha 5 victories 2nd 2007 MotoGP Yamaha 4 victories 3rd Casey Stoner 2001 125 cc Aprilia (?) 2 races (18th and 12th) 2002 250 cc Aprilia 12th 2003 125 cc Aprilia 1 victory 8th 2004 125 cc KTM 1 victory 5th 2005 250 cc Aprilia 5 victories 2nd 2006 MotoGP Honda 8th 2007 MotoGP Ducati 10 victories World Title Now. Let's comment a bit. Nicky Hayden won the MotoGP Woprld Title in 2006, before and after 2006 Nicky Hayden is just a world class rider, arriving 5t4th, 5th, 6th or so in the final results. There are plenty of riders like that. According to the rules for points, Nicky Hayden arrived 1st and won the MotoGP World Title in 2006. Before and after 2006, he is just Mr. world class rider (like other 5 or 6 riders). Casy Stoner in MotoGP 2006 on his honda finished few rces more than the races where he fell. He was a good pilot and Ducati decided to hire him a 2nd for Loris Capirossi who was developing desmo16 Ducati, with a yearly wages for 2007 of 3 M€ for Capirossi and 300.000 € for Stoner. Then it happened what we all know: Ducati was (and is) the best MotoGP bike on the planet, and Casey Stoner was (and is) the only rider capable of riding it that fast. Casey Stoner absolutely deserved to win MotoGP in 2007, doiong a number of pole positions and winning hands down 10 races, most of them taking the lead from the start. Now, let's do the game of "if". What if Stoner didn't put under his ass a Ducati in 2007? I'll tell you what: with a honda under his ass, Casey Stoner would habve benn another Mr. world class rider, arriving 4th, 5th or 6th at the end of the year and possibly winning few races here and there. Casey Stoner is indeed a very good rider who absolutely deserves what he did up now, but from here to say "Casey Stoner will prove to be one of the all time greats", again we nedd tha gipsy's glass sphere to predict the future. Valentino Rossi rode in 125 cc, 250 cc, 500 cc 2 strokes and he was one above the mass, always. Valentino rode the 1000 cc 4 strokes (MotoGP) and with different brands and kept on winning, Valentino rode when there was no electronics, Valentino is riding now where electronics is definitely present, and he is still winning a bunch of races. With a decent bike under his ass and good tires, Valentino is still the man to be beaten. i think there is no doubt that Valentino is the best breaker around, he can enter into curves at a speed and at a pace nobody else can do tosday. Of course, he can commit mistakes, thare are circuit more keen on him and circuits less keen on him, and so. Another very good rider with a powerful bike under his ass, can take a bunch of win himself. To finish: I am really curious to see what in 2009 the 2nd drive of Ducati will do, if this chap will ever approach Stoner's pace or will remain a middle result as a Mr. world class rider. Perhaps in the near future he will come out a rider who is capable of intepret Ducati as Stoner is doing, which thing will lead to have the 2nd drive of Ducati to approach Stoner's pace. If not, then Stoner will prove to be an outstanding rider. Before then, words are just words. P.S.: By tjhe way, Valentino will ride MotoGP bikes for few years more, he has too much fun in riding a bike to stop so soon

> If it's the Ducati that's doing all the work why is Melandri so fucking SHITE on it —————————————————————————————— Not exactly. Casey Stoner is fuckingly good an outstanding rider indeed. My idea is that Ducati is HANDS DOWN the best and most powerful MotoGP motorbike on the planet. Today. But this power does not come without a price: when you open up the handle (=throttle), the power comes out brutally (electronics is helping this out, though). Stoner is, up today, the only rider (honour and respect and skill to him) who is presently capable of using all this power. A sign of this is that the last race of 2006 (???) when a rider (Gibernau?) of Ducati was unavailable, they gave the second Ducati to Troy Bayliss (who was at the time the leader of Superbike championship), and Troy won taking the lead form the first lap, doing a race of his own. He never rode a Ducati MotoGP before (unless few laps of test). Ducati being the most powerful MotoGP bike does come with a price: you must be capable of using it, keeping the bike straight and up. Troy Bayliss was capable of using it, was capable of interpret Ducati MotoGP. Melandri, who is a good rider and a nice chap indeed (won a 250 cc and few races in MotoGP, not exactly the first asshole walking out there), is absolutely NOT capable of handling the Ducati power, it is NOT the bike for him. Period. Capirossi was sort of halfway between Melandri and Stoner: Capirossi is way better than Melandri but on another copletely different level of skill (on a Ducati) with respect of Stoner: Capirossi was used to finish 5th, 6th, 7th. Melandri is finishing about last each race. > Rossi has a tendency to push riders on the outside of a corner, he is not the only one that does the Xaus is notorious for it and Biaggi used to do it too. they already have the inside line and if there is a rider flanking them on the outside of the corner they try to push them into the gravel —————————————————————————————— Each rider tries to overtake where it is barely possible. Once it is within the rules, ANY rider can do it. There is no copyright about that. Casey can overtake out of curves because of the power of his Ducati, Valentino can only overtake Casey during the braking entering into a curve, he has no other choice. Yamaha is NOT faster than the Ducati on acceleration. And coming back to Laguna Seca, the above is not applicable: Casey and Valentino did a number of curves side-by-side, there was no rule nor any strategy of where to attack and where not to: they simply tried to overtake and to respond with a counterovertake any time that was possible, continuously. Doing so, there's no strategy, you just simply try to not being left back. Stay safe out there Blue Skies and Soft Walls BASE #689 - base_689AT_NO_123_SPAMyahoo.com

> Guess who is a "one eyed" Rossi fan —————————————————————————————— Yes, I am a Valentino's fan

> Stoner was way faster than Rossi... ————————————————————————— Wrong. If casey were way faster than Valentino, Casey would have left (leaving Valentino behind). Which he didn't. The reality is that Casey is an outstanding biker with the best (=most powerful) motorbike nowadays on the planet, and Valentino is the best "breaker" (rider who brakes) rider on earth (today), so the whole race was a nearly side-by-side race during which there was a slight prevalence of one in certain parts of the circuit and the prevalence of the other in other parts of the circuit, the final "stuff" being they had the same pace. > Although, IMO there was a massive hint of desperation in what Rossi was doing ————————————————————————— Wrong. If you remember well (or if we did see the same race ) , Valentino's lines were clean, Casey's lines were "dirty" (often coming out of curves Casey did "movements of the tail" (of his bike) (sorry I don't have the exact English term)) > I may be proved to be wrong but I saw it as Rossi's last hurrah. ————————————————————————— Tha last hurrah of what?!?!?!? We all know that Casey is riding the best and most poerwerful motorbike on earth (presently), and, to be honest, Casey is so skillfull to succeed in interpret Ducati behaviour, very unlikely Capirossi and Melandri, indeed. Capirossi (who won 3 250 cc championships at the times) in 2006 won a couple of MotoGP races, where Valentino did the pole position and out of nothing, Capirossi did a solo race giving the rest of the world 1" per lap. This means that Ducati was already "there" but Capirossi could Ducati only in few circuits. Now there is Melandri (who is a 250 cc world champion and who won few races in MotoGP, by the way) with the second Ducati who arrives very late: notwithstanding Melandri is a good rider indeed, he cannot interpret Ducati and so he cannot use all the power Ducati has got. Infact, Melandri arrives nearly last each race. Honour and skill to Casey Stoner, indeed, for succeedeing in interpret Ducati and its power and he is indeed an outstanding rider who, whenever everything is perfectly set up, does races on its own, without doing one single overtake, taking the lead from pole position and giving 1" or so per lap to the rest of the world. Again, honour to Casey Stoner for being a hell of an outstanding rider, but indeed Valentino's Yamaha has few HP less than Ducati, which fact, according to setup and circuit where there are long straight pieces or not, can succeeed in keeping the pace of Stoner or not. > The changing of the guard is here and Rossi knows it. ————————————————————————— Not exactly. If the new guard is as Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino can sleep calm and quiet. See what happened to Jorge Lorenzo? One circuit yes and another circuit not, he falls down brutally and heavily. He has got the same Yamaha as Valentino has and the same Michelin tyres as other riders. What does this mean? This (falling down so often) means that Jorge lorenzo is doing things BEYOND his capabilities. When he will have more issues under his control, he will be capable of riding faster and without falling. Period. Valentino still is the man to be beaten. > Stoner is gonna walk it when they come back from hols ————————————————————————— I hope for Casey to have a monster Ducati (Borgo Panigale folks did an outstanding job creating the Ducati the way it is now) always under his ass, otherwise (with a Honda as in 2006) he is "Mr. Very-good-rider". > Next year will see all the new gaurd in, Lorenzo and co. ————————————————————————— When Mr. Jorge Lorenzo will learn how to go fast without being all the time at the , we will see. It is too easy to be among the first ones being at the limit, which thing causes that any time there is a butterfly wing beat nearby, he falls down. Lorenzo is a very good raider but this year he is NOT between the possible title winners. Let's not forget what Valentino did when he won his first world title with Yamaha: he won the title notwithstanding having a way less powerful (than Honda) Yamaha motorbikes, he won thanks to his capability of braking and keeping the bike . Anyway, this year there are still 7 races to go, the way to the world title is still jolly long. We will see, the winner will be a matter of motorbike setup and capability of interpreting the remaining circuits.

> Whilst Rossi is a Rider of legend, he does tend to push the edge of sportsmanship at times ————————————————————————— No way. If we were talking about one single action/overtake by Valentino, we discuss if he did it wrong or wright. Which is not. Valentino and Casey did a NUMBER of overtakes and counterovertakes racing side by side, they did it 10 time? 12 times? 14 times? How on earth you can define Casey's overtakes "fair" and Valentino's overtakes "out of the rules"? the track is unique and both were doing the same thing: trying to overtake the other. Poor Casey complains because he arrived second. Stay safe out there Blue Skies and Soft Walls BASE #689 - base_689AT_NO_123_SPAMyahoo.com

Outstanding race. I has been holding my breath for the whole race up to -8 laps to the end where Casey Stoner went straight on the dirt and feel. Then Valentino Rossi won with 13" of gap over Casey Stoner. Valentino kept his position on start (while Valentino is very conservative on starts) and overtook Casey Stoner in the first lap. Then Valentino and Casey did a little bit of overtake and counterovertake, Valentino remaining the leader. At -10 lap they two did an outstanding overtake and counterovertake for few laps. Outstanding show indeed. Than Casey didn't keep his temper and didn't brake at a curve and when straight on the dirt, fell, put the bike back standing but by now Valentino was gone far. Really nice and breathtaking show indeed. What I really DIDN'T like about Casey (which up to yesteraday I held enourmous respect for) is that Casey, after race, declared: "I did a mistake for going straight at that curve but Valentino did some overtake out of the rules that if I did it, they would have disqualified me". My comment is: the two did a NUMBER of overtake and counterovertake, it is NOT possible that Valentino did them out of the rules and Casey WITHIN the rules. A MotoGP race is not a classic music concert, it's a motorbike race, everybody tries to win, hopefully within the rules. Honour and respect to Casy who gave together with Valentino an outstanding show, too childish whhen Casey doesn't win because of a superior performancve by Valentino, because this time Casey did NOT had a motorbike with a superior pace, the two had a very similar pace motorbikes, and the whole race was a chase Waht an amazing race! Thare are only two men in the world who gives me really thrilling emotions and make me hold my breath: one is Rocco Siffredi and the other one is Valentino Rossi

It is all correct. Provided that boolean '+' yields 1 when at least one between A and B is 1 and that boolean "·" yields 1 only when both A and B are 1, we have the A·B column which is correct. Then we have the "+" operation between "A" and "A·B", in fact we have 1 only when at least one between "A" and "A·B" is 1: A _ B _ A·B _ A+A·B 0 _ 0 __ 0 ___ 0 0 _ 1 __ 0 ___ 0 1 _ 0 __ 0 ___ 1 1 _ 1 __ 1 ___ 1 Please consider that B is NOT any of direct member of boolean sum but comes into play only to determine the result of "A·B": FIRST you do "A·B" and THEN you do "A+(A·B)", where "A·B" is the second member.
