Can anybody in the country finish this sentence:

The Goal of the American Mission in Iraq is to:

Establish a Turkish-like secular democracy.

Has anybody asked the folks in Iraq if that's what they want?


The only way to ask is to have an election.

Anyone know where I can find a ballot for the Iraqi election on the web,
I've looked and can't. The election is scheduled for Dec or Jan, where is
the ballot?

Um, isn't that allegedly supposed to happen in Iraq?

Thanks,
Rich

Every decision that a national leader makes kills, or doesn't kill,
thousands of people: health care; police funding; speed limits;
smoking policy; diesel fumes; all kinds of stuff.

Mao is estimated to have killed 30-50 million in his "great leap
forward" and he's still a national hero. Deng was reportedly informed
that a certain policy might kill a million people, and he reportedly
replied "A million? That's not so many."

Did you see that map of the states that carried Bush in 2000?
It's all cowboys and hillbillies. No wonder the country's going
down the toilet.

Did you see the map of the states he's ahead in this time? Nearly all
of them.

A recently completed *scientific* survey by the The American Jewish

You assert that the Jewish population of USA is *INFORMED*.

Yes they are- and this is supported by more scientific polls confirming
their over representation as voters and their more detailed knowledge of
events in the Middle East.



I presume
there is a corollary that the rest of the population, that doesn't
necessary share the Kerry preference is, by definition *UNINFORMED*?

No- your presumption is ridiculous. The UNINFORMED are a subset of
people opposed to Kerry which includes UNINFORMED, AMERICAN
IMPERIALISTS, and RECKLESSLY EXPLOITIVE BUSINESS INTERESTS among others.


But suppose those Jews polled were uninformed (and you have no way of
knowing how informed they were), and favour Kerry because they are
uninformed.

Absolutely untrue! The data does exist to quantify, albeit with a
certain amount of subjectivity and therefore bias as to deciding on a
criterion for "uninformed", the Bayesian conditionals of unin-/in-formed
given support for one candidate or the other. But this type of survey
would be performed by a campaign organization and not a polling activity
with the objective of producing a highly accurate measurement election
outcome.

After all, there must be both informed and uninformed people on both
sides of the argument, and to demonise the opposition the way you do
here does you no credit as a supposedly informed reporter.

You seem to be too ignorant of the conventional techniques used to
ensure an UNBIASED scientific survey to be worth anyone's time. You are
a troll.

He's an able politician in the classical sense but has the unusual benefit
of a high IQ. An IQ sufficient to manipulate public opinion to benefit his
own (not party) agenda. Witness the working population being stroked by
ASBO's, tougher immigration controls and a small war against some religious
'ragheads' and the chattering classes being stroked by personal choice and
low taxes.
He won't be apologising or resigning, yet he'll be the leader after the next
election.
What I can't really figure, is his need for a religion. It seems he's just
converted to Catholicism. This worries me.

Hello,

The reason why this cannot be realized on a single FPGA is the fact that we
disscussed just the input channels, so far. There is a great amount of
output, too, so I cannot use all of the FPGA's highspeed I/Os (i.e.
RocketIOs) just for the incoming data. In reference to a maximum amount of
20 RocketIOs on the largest Virtex-II Pro I assume that I will only use 4
RocketIOs per FPGA for the purpose of handling the complete 30 Gbit/s. So
that means I must run approximately four FPGAs in parallel. Do you see any
other alternatives?

This would be so much easier if you told us what you really want to
do.



When I was at Agilent, we had a design that generated and processed
OC768 signals. Each (Virtex-2 6000) FPGA had 40Gb/s input and 40Gb/s
output. Most of that was done using internal 256 bit buses at either
155.52MHz or 200MHz (depending on where it was in the pipeline). I
think it used HSTL or maybe SSTL levels. There were some narrower,
faster (622Mb/s?) LVDS buses between some parts.
That's 80Gb/s total, per FPGA, without using high speed SERDES
interfaces, on parts that are two generations old.

Regards,
Allan

Better don't wait at all.
I tried this almost 10 years ago and failed due to the little light
coming back. It was rather frustrating to see how little came back
from a white paper in 20cm distance. The ultimate surface was not
meant to be white and perhaps a bit farther away than 20cm.

Rene

but it has to be possible... i found range meters wich could detect
distances to 5km with 1cm accuracy , i am wondering how they do
that...

Yannick

i think tank laser range finders use single pulse TDR with about 20 watts of
pulsed laser power, judging from some surplus stuff i seen for sale at
display electronics, were using about 5mw, thats a big diference.

An Open Letter to the American People

June 21, 2004

Presidential elections present us with choices about our nation's
future. We support John Kerry for President and urge you to join us.

The prosperity, health, environment, and security of Americans depend on
Presidential leadership to sustain our vibrant science and technology;
to encourage education at home and attract talented scientists and
engineers from abroad; and to nurture a business environment that
transforms new knowledge into new opportunities for creating quality
jobs and reaching shared goals.

President Bush and his administration are compromising our future on
each of these counts. By reducing funding for scientific research, they
are undermining the foundation of America's future. By setting
unwarranted restrictions on stem cell research, they are impeding
medical advances. By employing inappropriate immigration practices, they
are turning critical scientific talent away from our shores. And by
ignoring scientific consensus on critical issues such as global warming,
they are threatening the earth's future. Unlike previous
administrations, Republican and Democratic alike, the Bush
administration has ignored unbiased scientific advice in the
policy-making that is so important to our collective welfare.

John Kerry will change all this. He will support strong investments in
science and technology as he restores fiscal responsibility. He will
stimulate the development and deployment of technologies to meet our
economic, energy, environmental, health, and security needs. He will
recreate an America that provides opportunity to all at home or abroad
who can help us make progress together.

John Kerry will restore science to its appropriate place in government
and bring it back into the White House. He is the clear choice for
America's next President.
