Odd bits:
The ear wax of many Asians is dry and tan to golden as opposed to others' that are waxy and sort of orangery.

Approximately 50% of the population can smell Asparagus by-products in urine - if you do not know what I mean, you are on the other side of the 50%.

As of today Daniweb has 522,642 members, and I have 663 posts. Who is evil enough to be #666?

Been there, done that, forgot to get the t-shirt; just make it memorable because it is quite transitory.

I also taught that It's free of animal things. but it's not.see this.
gelten have animal parts.

Yeah, Jell-o is made from a gelatin of ungulates' hooves, bones, and connective tissue - the collagen bits. No way to justify Jell-O to vegetarians.

so wonderful jelocy and Envy ,
The MADHURE english-sinhala dictionary shows clearly the difference
between these two words. and yes that difference is on our language too. But I think the problem is the ppl who speaks Sinhala-English mix ( like me ) uses that word "jealosy" simply for the envy. however thanks for showing me the difference , I will try to use these words in appropriate way.

OMG! What a beautify written language! I just googled the language - does it have a cursive? Is this one of those languages that, when you get to the end of a line (left to right) turn the script upside-down and continue right to left?

Dang! Wish I could see samples of how Sinhala looks when written on paper, sigh!

Also i learned that Horowitz is jewish originated name, are you jewish? And where did your ancestors come from?

So you are a sexist and a racists along with being some sort of stalker? It could be that you are just too socially inept to understand the the difference between healthy interest and unhealthy interest. Maybe, just maybe you should go away.

Just my opinion (and that only counts for me) - maybe I have been reading too many right wing sites and am beginning to see prejudice everywhere but you don't say anything except that you 'learned' something about the name. If you had said something like "the name Horowitz is interesting in that it is derived from the Bohemian city of Horvice
in the Czech Republic and is a common family name for Jews and people of Jewish descent, what can you tell me about your name?" I just might think that you were just interested in names.

But not you, you had to ask, 'you a jew?' 'I heard that was a jew name'.

So if I offended anyone or am off-base, please tell me.

And sometimes I just love the world and am filled with joy

What can I say - I love percussion no matter where I find it!

I think that you really mean envy rather than jealousy

Jealousy is an emotion and typically refers to the negative thoughts and feelings of insecurity, fear, and anxiety over an anticipated loss of something that the person values, such as a relationship, friendship, or love. Jealousy often consists of a combination of emotions such as anger, sadness, and disgust. Jealousy differs from envy in that jealousy is about something one has and is afraid of losing, while envy refers to something one does not have and either wants to acquire or to prevent another from acquiring.

The Census Bureau can not hire anyone in law enforcement for any position - it would be a conflict as LE officers are sworn to enforce all laws even on their time off, whereas the Census Bureau can not use the data it collects for anything but the census and all personally identifiable information is not release for 72 years.

I think every city in the US had some reason for being one of the cities to go in the first wave, like it was some sort of badge of honor (Seattle had Boing, Billings MT had an air force base, Plentywood Mt had ABM silos - the list goes on)

Seattle - overall damage 8 of 10 -- blasted, charred, and glowing.
Billings - 1 of 10

Thanks! Seasick Dave is a great find.

I seem to have moved more to the left since I last took this test - must be the joy of having someone on my side in the government

This will come as no surprise to anyone here:
You are a far-left moderate social libertarian.

Now I am starting to feel good about uniforms and discipline - is this a guilty pleasure?

I am getting a head ache.

There are some mathematical tricks for shortening the search; I do not know them all but the first would be to divide the number by all the known primes.

do mod[TEX] n/P[/TEX] until mod[TEX]n/P = 0[/TEX]or [TEX]P>n/3[/TEX]

Where P is a list of all known primes and I am too lazy to look up the code for reading incrementally from a list.

The formula 2^P-1 eliminates any number divisible by 2.

I am not a programmer so the code is probably wrong but the essential trick is that all factors of a number will eventually be prime numbers, no factor greater than n/3 will be cardinal. I am not actually a mathematician either so I am working from a logic standpoint so please let me know if/where I go wrong.

He was a member of the GIMPS network - he signed up and was issued a2^P-1 number and his computer worked on it on its down-time for a month or so. Actually, pretty boring - I prefer to use BOINC to keep my computers occupied in their spare time.

Apropos of nearly nothing (except intelligent slime), enlarge image for full effect.

Well, Dr. Kaos has this to say:

I thank gemini (i'm a gemini too by the way) for adding to my point concerning plant teachers - and to RFG, LSD is FULLY dissociative for me - I have the cosmos in the palm of my hand on this - I'm the star-crusher, the darkness, the void. The time-bender reality expendor. There is no "me" there are an infinite number of possible me's yet to be embodied -It is extremely difficult to consider why humans left the jungle on earth while one is exploring another planet in Andromeda. My preference in earth sacraments stems from my preference in the rich and colorful human history on earth, versus the vast intergalactic nothingness made apparent to me by LSD. Leary contends that there are 8 circuits in the HCNS, 6(neuroelectric) is activated by psilocybin, 7(neurogenetic) by LSD, and 8(neuroatomic) by ketamine. For me, 7 is fully active under 3g syrian rue + 2g dried cubensis. 8 is fully active for me under 200ug LSD. Quite frankly I've never tried ketamine because I'm AFRAID of what circuit 9 holds. If it holds a quantum jump to an actual nether-reality.

On the other hand, I have made it to the 8th circuit with no side-effects other than posting inane things to obscure forums on an oddly neural-pathway-like network of linked computers. I remember that all during the 1970's MDMA (ecstasy) was the Holy Grail of drugs - always searched for but never found but now …

This is absolutely amazing - this monument has been around for 30 years and i just heard about it. Someone, somewhere is:
1) playing an expensive practical joke
2) preparing for the possible collapse of civilization
3) instigating the collapse of civilization
4) what is your theory?

It had to have cost a million dollars in 1980 dollars (about 3-4 million in today's dollars). They seem to have taken everything into account (except that box in the back of the garage - or did they plan for that too?).

You did it!
Congrats

Sorry, this is the bad-puns addiction group (no pun intended) - trolls are down the stairs, sex is upstairs and the bar is next door.

No you are not new here.

You are the j-land twit

youre welcome, Trav, welcome to daniweb. first thing you should know is don't pay any attention to me.

i'm alternately Bong, Troll, or Me-Too. Narue is Jerk but at least she's right.

Self-knowledge is a wonderful thing but, but, (dang there is a joke in here somewhere but I am too lazy to look for it).

Actually you do pretty well for yourself jephthah.

HuffPost has an article titled Talented, ugly person baffles world - didn't read the article as the title seems to say it all.

Almost looks like someone is getting paid by to post and finds it easier to 'borrow' stuff of interest. Might be interesting to check out the rest of the site (me, nah - too lazy).

There is no test of reasoning that will convince a conservative that the world is a nuanced place and that the world is not binary. He starts with a scream at liberals and then jumps into a story about socialism. He probably even believes that the parable is something that happened in the real world and not made up from whole cloth by the co-founder of The American Thinker.
Any reader who has been to any college level course knows that the opening concept is crap - there is no thinking or unthinking class of 18-23 year old students that would agree unanimously on anything let alone socialism - especially considering this bit of right wing propaganda was supposed to take place in Texas. Here is a link to a different view.

You might notice the Al Franken advert, it is a liberal destination so if you can't handle an opposing point of view - don't go there. The analysis is pretty thorough and is about 5 chapters long.

The really odd thing is that Aia really does not see the difference between Liberals and Socialists and probably does believe that non-conservatives are unAmerican but that is a different story.

She has gone viral - generating 85.2 million hits (20 million of which came over one night).

Truly inspiring! In the movie, Simon will take her glasses off, let her hair down and she will be suddenly gorgeous.

She is the equivalent of Aretha Franklin - the voice overcomes all.

Loser is still apt though.

I don't normally like Morning Joe but this segment really cracked me up -- it is the same stuff as you posted but analyzed by the 'near right' staff. Joe just can't keep it straight.

"The Dole, is a form of unemployment benefit that is paid by the government to people who are unemployed and seeking work. it is part of the social security benefits system"

"Social security primarily refers to a social insurance program providing social protection, or protection against socially recognized conditions, including poverty, old age, disability, unemployment and others."

So i am correct.

So you are correct for the country in which you live; here in the US, Social Security is a separate system than Unemployment than Medicare than welfare. There is no overall 'dole' that covers all societies ills.

Social Security and MediCare are paid through a specific Federal income tax by both employer and employee (the self-employed are both);
Unemployment is paid by employers into state/federal coffers (FUTA);
Welfare is paid out of the general tax fund.

This is not to say that SS and Medicare funds are separate - they are added into the general fund.

>So the US has a long way to go!
It'll take not very long to get there if the same socialist policies that are much to blame in Europe for the unemployment rates, continue to be adopted by Congress.

EEK! Socialism! Heh,heh - next thing you know it will be fascism (oh, right - Rush's butt-boy Beck already screams fascism; he must not be very internet competent or not heard of Godwin's law).

The cowboy boot is the perfect example of 'form follows function'.
Think about it: why does the 'ultimate' in macho images wear high-heeled, pointy shoes?
1) When you want to put your shoe in the stirrup, you don't want to have to worry about fit - a pointy shoe goes into a stirrup easier than a blunt shoe.
2) When you are working in the saddle, the worst thing that could happen is that your foot slips through the stirrup and unbalances you leading to falling out of the saddle which spooks the horse and he drags you to death across a field of cactus.

The boot is pointy to make it easier to get into the saddle and heel is designed so that it can not possibly slip through the stirrup:
Form Follows Function.

(it is also easier to kill cockroaches in corners with pointy boots).

I could say something about how when our current chief executive gets done, that's about all that will be left of a military band to play the song.

But I won't.

It is interesting that some people do not realize that America rose up and repudiated the last 8 years of conservative crap.

Suffering from ODS is no excuse for the lack of critical thinking. I even like how that sounds when you pronounce it - odious. The current crop of rightwingnuts (do they all have trucknutz? do they even know what 'teabagging' means? do they need a dick armey to teabag america?) suffering from Obama Derangement Syndrome are a pretty odious bunch.

Smiling and nodding and backing slowly out the door.

Hell, I have 4 suits and I don't wear them either - well, I went to a funeral and was pall-bearer about 10 years ago. I don't think I wear any of them.

I think he was trying to ask everyone here to go 'teabagging' with him tomorrow.

Sorry but I could (not) resist even if I (did not) wanted to.

actually, computers are neither men nor women... they're machines, so... where am i supposed to place my vote?

The question is wrt Romance languages that have no 'neuter'; all nouns are either male or female - as in the table or the salt in French are:la table or le sel but in Spanish :la mesa la sal or in Portuguese: a mesa o sal

The original computers were women (in the most part because the men were off to war).

Human computers played integral roles in the World War II war effort in the United States, and because of the depletion of the male labor force due to the draft, many computers during WWII were women, frequently with degrees in mathematics. In the Manhattan Project, human computers, working with a variety of mechanical aids, assisted numerical studies of the complex formulae related to Nuclear fission. And because the six people responsible for setting up problems on the ENIAC, the premiere general-purpose electronic digital computer built at the University of Pennsylvania during WWII, were drafted from a corpus of human computers, the world's first professional computer programmers were women, paving the way for careers in data processing as socially acceptable for women in an era of gender roles. (These six computers-turned-computer-programmers were Kay McNulty, Betty Snyder, Marlyn Wescoff, Ruth Lichterman, Betty Jean Jennings, and Fran Bilas.)

Following World War II, the NACA used human computers in flight research to transcribe raw data from celluloid film and oscillograph paper and then, using slide rules and electric calculators, reduce it to standard engineering units.

No - you are just too deep for us.

If the human race did die, it would not be missed. It would probably be considered an evolutionary dead-end - if something else came along that could make that determination.

Early in his career, he flipped off a Klingon.

A hungry Klingon.

FWIW

When I made this request Where are the DW archives?? I would like to see your posts on Bush over the last 8 years., I was really asking what were you saying about President Bush during his first 6 years of presidency. I am pretty sure that the conservatives were already throwing Bush under the bus during the last 2 years of his presidency; and they were all chanting "He is not a conservative". But during his first 6 years he was their darling. I am betting that were pro-Bush and ranting about BDS. Now you suffer from ODS and it cripples your critical thinking, imho.

Just so you get a feeling for ODS and its affects on thinking - here is one of those well-crafted missives from the right:

“I read your pathetic Oboma ass kissing site and you people are fucking morons. I saw you on TV and you look like a little smug faggot. I think all liberals should paint themselves black and find some black ass to have gay sex with. You people are a disgrace to the white race and to America. Your bastard president and he is a bastard cuz his white mom was a single whore when she got knocked up with him. He is a one termer, he lied, he duped, he brainwashed Americans and now they are GETTING it. You live by your whacked out biased polls, I dont need fucking numbers to see what Americans minus …

Research is as foreign to his understanding as writing would be to a monkey. And this is not an attempt to insult any member of the Primate order.
His forte is in the excessive use of words related to the result of bowel movement and the noise and smell, prelude to that maneuver.
Against such, the Contact/Ignore lists setting in my control panel became a revelation. Give it a try!. You won't regret it. :)

Aia, sorry I am so slow - I just realized you were ranting against me! I am on your ignore list? I feel honored and yet a little sad but that is just me.

Obama is communist and y'all see what will happen to us and the world itself real soon. NWO is coming people, WAKE UP!!!

So Vicio, you still in country or have you left in disgust yet? What is your latest complaint/rant vs President Obama?
