OT: Bush Thugs Rough Up Grieving Mother of KIA

Mike did deign to grace us with the following:

Further, this incredibly low probability is purported to abruptly change
to a vastly larger probability upon receipt of a degree.

The reason for that is simplicity itself. It's just the good ol' boy
club pulling up the drawbridge.

Only in acadamia. In industry, most CEOs are self-educated and
have no problem hiring qualified physics experts who lack degrees.

A degree is a Good Thing, but only if the person who gets the degree
manages to learn something while getting it. Crackpot theories such
as "Hiesenberg was wrong" aren't something you learn in school. You
have to develop kookiness on that level on your own.

The report is FRAUDULENT, and the conclusion is false- the RNC has been
caught on several occasions already conducting illegal "push
polls/surveys" like this in several of the battleground states- where
the idea is to trump up a false sense of popular support- it is just
more of their misinformation campaign.

Well, it certainly is effective, when the mob only wants to be a member
of the biggest herd, and to Hell with anything like principles, or
integrity, or ethics.

It's just a carbon copy of the pattern of a certain other chancellor's
rise to power, you mark my words.

I just hope enough people clue up in time that we don't incinerate the
whole planet.

Good Luck!

I intend to design a device to measure the power factor without the

given by a simple DC voltage, e.g. 30° = pi/6 rad = 0.523 V

A problem that occurs is calculating the cosine of this voltage. In a
discrete setup, I will use Taylor series and realise it with analog
multipliers and a few operational amplifiers.

Before starting this, I would like to know if a single IC exists that
can make this calculation at once, eg 0.523 V IN results in cos(0.523)
= 0.866 V OUT

The image that comes to my mind in this context is the last scene in

The longer Bush and his Southern Baptist bigots throw their weight
around in Irak, the harder it becomes to tell them apart from Osama
bin Laden and his Muslim bigots .... to give the Baptists their due,
they haven't beheaded anybody in front of a video camera yet, but as
Governor in Texas, Dubbya did seem to be happy to see the
feeble-minded executed to his political advantage.
Bill Sloman, Nijmegen

A word of advice on analogies: they need to be simple and obvious.
Yours is convoluted and distant. Mine: the Democrats insist that every
vote should be counted unless it is one for Nader. Yours: Bush and his
Southern Baptist bigots sorta look like bin Laden if you squint your
eyes except they don't behead people. Give me a break! It just doesn't
score the point.

What does "score the point" is the factual intelligence conclusion that
as long as America is in Iraq, the insurgents will be cast as freedom
fighters and not terrorists. This is NOT opinion, this is NOT a debating
point, this IS a fact.

No, you are absolutely wrong. It is not only not opinion, it is not only
not fact, it is a bald-faced lie.

Those people are defending their homes from invaders.

The United States has executed an illegal invasion of Iraq, and is
maintaining occupation forces in violation of almost every rule of law,
morality, ethics, and common decency that there is.

The ones the rich white guys are calling "terrorists" ARE, in fact,
freedom fighters - they're fighting for freedom from American Attack.

Stop attacking people all over the world, and THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO
DEFEND THEMSELVES FROM YOU.

That is ALL this so-called "terrorism" is - they're trying to defend
themselves against an all-powerful, inexorable Evil, the only way available
to them - they're fighting dirty, because they're fighting for their very
lives. But Americans are infamous for ganging up on the weak, like the
craven cowards they really are.

And you rich, fat, happy American assholes sit here and rationalize this
mass murder by thinking somehow long-range murder makes you "safer."

Maybe America doesn't deserve to survive.

The ONLY way to overcome this VERY SERIOUS
challenge is to form an INTERNATIONAL COALITION TROOP PRESENCE in Iraq
with REDUCED American military presence.

A better way would be to get the Americans the fuck out of Iraq, and let
them sink or swim on their own. On the way out the door, say, "OK, guys -
here's your freedom - have fun. 'Bye."

Are those people not grownups?

It is also a FACT that BUSH
rejects and IMPEDES this approach- he will STAY the WRONG course and
EXACERBATE a very DANGEROUS situation which could erupt into
CATASTROPHIC GLOBAL proportions at any time- the likelihood of this
GREAT. The BUSH administration has been WRONG, WRONG, and WRONG time and
again in every single strategy decision they have made in Iraq- it is
time to END this administration, throw them OUT of office, and rejoin
the community of nations. This is not a debating point, it is not a
political slogan, it is an URGENT NECESSITY.

Let's start doing a little research, and document his crimes against
humanity, and bring him up on charges in the World Court. And Treason
against the Constitution of the United States.

There's no question, something has to be done.

Which case? Whos doing this translation? Why is "socialist" in quotes?

John Kerry has invented the ubiquitous JK flip-flop.

Very good!

I thought he invented the random state machine.

A cute novelty item that would be a huge seller. A Kerry position
predictor.

Press a button and hundreds of positions on Iraq, Viet Nam, terror,
and weapons funding would scroll by until the display stops on one.

One could sell ROM modules with more positions as new ones arise over
the next 6 weeks. Even better, a built in receiver could be tuned to a
Zogby real time poll tabulator. If any new position actually resonates
with anyone and the polls shift slightly anyone who has a Kerry
position toy that predicted the right position gets a free prize.

I if could only tool up in week!


How about a GW Bush language translator so we know what he's talking about?



.

During the reign of GHWB, somebody build a macintosh program that played

were cut together in clever ways to make his say things he really didn't
say.

Fortunately for us, with GWB, all we really need to do is listen to the

Big capacitors, SCRs. How long do you need it to last?
How big are your magnets? Tell us about your coils.

Would this be somewhat like a coin squeezer, but more like
a core sinterer?

Burt's quarter shrinker uses ~ 20kV and 100,000A for a few
microseconds, I suppose a big magnet energizer might need
2kV and 5000A for a few milliseconds? A capacitor bank and
an SCR, or two...

Hi John,

It's probably Norwegian, like the man himself (Torvald).


Close but he is from Finland. Oh, well, just a few hundred miles where

we could drive 2000 miles towards the east and still be in the same country.

His name doesn't sound Finnish because his family is from a minority of
Swedish ancestry that lives in that country
