You are so full of it. Never seen someone with just an acute case of mental diarrhea.

Ooh, Ouch, your witty repartee has cut me to the quick. First you say I am 'full of it' - that was so hurtful. Then the reference to diarrhea, which everyone knows is a physical problem, the way you qualified it with the Mental, which everyone knows is actually non-physical was such a brain twister; I mean, whoa, how do you come up with that stuff? then that reference to thinking diarrhea was cute - the grossness factor just adds to the overall effect.

Brilliant, Aia - you are on top of your form tonight.

Right. Beware of McCain.

It is amazing, Dave -- where do you find this Bull Pucky? No one has a transcript of anything but the responses to the pucky.

You're just another 'ditto head' dupe spreading specious stuff around now that you see McCain/Palin is going down in flames.

I did not know that the Fed had fan-fic

Bernanke, trying not to slip in the patches of blood on the floor, struggled with Greenspan. The older man moved like a snake that moved like a former Fed Chairman who moved like a ninja. At last, Bernanke got a solid grip on Greenspan’s collar and hurled him through the fourth wall, knocking you to the ground.

Improvising a tourniquet from the remains of the snake left over from the earlier simile, Bernanke moved on through the hallways.

Here is the Christian response to Obama - he really gets going there towards the end. A loving Christian talks about politics.

Pastafarians strike again - this time on Speak Like a Pirate day.

I have to put you on restriction, Dave. I just don't want to open another tab for you until you post a quote from the site you are pointing to -- you are cluttering my FireFox session with saliva-spewing right-wing (how do you guys fly - all your planes have 2 right wings) web-sites you send me to.

That was a pretty interesting article then I tried to read the 'blowback' and yewww, so vitriolic

Yeah, the conservatives claim GW/CC is bad science but don't say anything about Creationism/Intelligent Design.

Conservatives show off Sarah Palin, an avowed Creationist who belongs to a church that believes that women should be subservient to their husbands but won't let her have a press conference that is not completely controlled by 'handlers'

Conservatives are not theocrats - particularly when conservative writers get to disallow anyone they want for purposes of definition. "They are not conservative because i don't want to talk about Christian Conservatives who believe that this is a Christian country and should be run based on the bible."

I would go on but this is becoming boring.

Besides you telling me that I'm supposed to read 'code words' as 'black', you're only telling us that you see certain 'code words' as 'black'. And those who don't see 'code words' are racist?

Heh, Heh - Dave sometimes you can be so naive - especially when it comes Faux News.

wrt
Dave, doesn't that stuff turn to dust in your mind and choke it? The one thing I really find repulsive about many of the sites you point to is their intellectual dishonesty.

I want to make myself very clear here - I am not talking about you - I respect you (well as much as a flaming liberal can respect cold, hard-hearted conservative) but sometimes those links of yours just lock up my pc (is Gates a liberal too?).

I found this article interesting: Bailout Boondoggle.

I particularly like this quote: 'There is no such thing as “Big Government Conservatism.”' Yet everyone that the conservatives put in office increase the debt and the size of government.

Gotta just make those poor guys just cry.

didn't you get the talking point? That is like saying "just because I say Barack Hussein Obama - that does not mean I am implying anything".

That fat sausage Rush is now telling the lie that Obama is Arab/African.

Oh, the parts in red are spin.

Let us start with Rush first:

Rush Limbaugh baselessly asserted of Sen. Barack Obama: "Do you know he has not one shred of African-American blood?" Limbaugh continued: "He's Arab. You know, he's from Africa. He's from Arab parts of Africa. ... [H]e's not African-American. The last thing that he is is African-American."

So the drug-addled sausage boy (sorry, I disagree with Limbaugh' politics just a little - I try to feed his bull pucky back to him) is repeating this day after day - I think he is losing it.

You wanted to know where was 'black' was mentioned in my screed; I will quote Cavuto:

• Loaning to minorities and risky folks is a disaster.
• when you and many of your colleagues were pushing for more minority lending.
• pushing for more minority lending

These are 'code words' - Cavuto tried to be subtle so he did not actually use the word 'black' - he used 'code words'.

Heh. Faux News.

Heh,heh - Faux News cherry-picks history again. The poor helpless Republicans could not stand against the assaults from the mean Democrats - those were terrible years, when Bush became president and the Dems just kept beating him up. They mugged him and left him bleeding in the halls of congress.

I am in a Credit Union so I am eating high on the hog.

Have you been to hulu.com? They keep 2 weeks of most tv.

I love the clusterf**k to the poorhouse that Jon starts the show with.

That is not hydrogen burning that you see in the rocket picture, it is ammonium perchlorate from the boosters.

Thanks! Yeah, it was a pretty picture and I was in the middle of my research into single stage rocket fuel (digressing from the fuel cell stuff) - have you heard about the tripropellants? Lithium and fluorine with hydrogen - way too complicated but pretty effective.

Elementary physics! My boyfriend hates junk science and the people that spread it.

Heh,heh does your bf hang here - there could be plenty for him to do. Elementary physics, elementary mistake - you gotta problem with that?

There we go, let's store the extra daytime energy as magnesium.

uh, uh, wtf??

Interesting: Burning the Tide

That is pretty cool and looks safer than the tidal current generators.

Good grief, even I know that a watt is the product of voltage and current at any given time. No need to have a per there.

Are you playing 'gotcha' or having a discussion?

What is the type of internet connection?
What is the model of the modem (is it a modem/router with more than one port)?
What will you be using to connect the pc?

What form of internet connection do you have? If it is DSL and your internet modem has 2 connections then you can plug the 2nd pc into it but you will need to get a 2nd IP address from your ISP. If you use the router then you should let the router handle LAN addressing so set the pc to DHCP.

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

I know - I was expecting it. That is an example of why you do not use magnesium as the base for a paint. There was a pretty thorough examination of the catastrophe - the 2 main results were the flames were the wrong color to be hydrogen burning and the skin of the Hindenburg almost completely burned up and the fragments that survived were coated with Mg.

Current hydrogen explosion picture.

Thanks Dave - who would have thought pollution could actually be beautiful!!

Hey guys,

I've used several different types of ballots in my life, paper, punch cards, computer. All of them are subject to abuse...what we need is a system that will deliver accuracy and give us back our democracy when we vote for president. So I propose:

One toll free number that dials an election server run by Eunuchs (or something). You put in your social security number and password and vote.

Simple...the politicians would never put it in because of apportionment...they couldn't fix elections any more. So this would need a grass roots effort. Say, we have that here don't we...hummmnnn.

What do you think?

zeroth

Using eunuchs is actually pretty funny as they are the political party that stopped the Chinese exploration of the world. Without going too deeply into the details, the Chinese trading fleet traveled all over the world (some historians believe it even made it to South America). Chinese porcelain was traded all over the 'known' world. Upon the fleet's return to China the fleet was dismantled because of the Eunuch Party pretty much controlled politics of the time and the Captain of the fleet bought his supplies, repairs and such from the most qualified rather then the eunuch's friends.

The last known Chinese eunuch died in December 1996

But I digress!

Hi Experts,
If hydrons are passed in as high as light's speed in a helium gas chamber ? what could be the result ?

LI but only if you start with a Hydron of Triton. It would be a race between contact with HE and degradation (it has a half life of 12.32 years). Tritium is a waste product of heavy Water-moderated reactors. It is an inefficient form of fusion. Lithium needs 4 neutrons so the Triton which is 1 proton with 2 neutrons + HE which is 2 protons with 2 neutrons - LI which is 3 protons and 4 neutrons.

did I just answer a homework question?

Zeroeth - wrt your .sig - Everyone remembers who climbed it 2nd - Tenzing Norgay. His was the only picture on the peak because he did not know how to operate the camera and Sir Hillary did not think the location was conducive to lessons. It is believed that the only reason he was not knighted along with the other 2 members of the team was due to political influence from the Indian gov.

I looked up Hoover Dam, it has a capacity of 2,000,000 kw and could potentially charge 40,000 electric cars.

2gigawatts per ??.

Creating hydrogen using the DC generated by solar cells is highly inefficient. Also hydrogen would take up the largest volume of any gas, is dangerous to handle and difficult to store.

I was responding to a suggestion to store the excess energy as compressed gas - which do you think is least efficient.
I suggested storing it as H because of H-fuel cell cars; if you want to talk efficiency, consider cracking water with excess power vs. cracking water with power that everyone is competing for. Hydrogen is about 1000 times less dangerous than gasoline; compare storing H with storing air. Storing H as a liquid is not a new or unusual technology considering that is part of what puts our rockets into space. (I am doing a little hand-waving here so that we do not get into a discussion of parahydrogen). We already have a pretty strong infrastructure that carries LNG all over the country.

This is not necessarily the right thread but what the heck - I just LOVE Suzanne Vega, and Tom's Diner is such re-mix magnet.

Solar winds down to 50 year low

Actually, I have not been ignoring this time -- I have been following all the link so that I can get to some place to understand and correlate and see how the it will tie in. I had some really good stuff working wrt some of the spike in the data andm the accuracy of the Earth Shine Project; then they just finished testing the carbon content on some cores back about 75,000 years. Then I gotta trace back many of the comments -- these guys eat this science for desert so I gotta read an understand their objections..

Suddenly, I have a bourbon and coke - and my Destiny turn just came.

I am not sure how soon I can get back to you on this.

Laters, guy

McCain and McCain sound so much different - kind of disquieting.

Wow, 2 negative responses - Dude, have you ever ridden in a cab? Jeez, the cabs always heads for another car and you are unable to stop it - this new cab just means that the cabbie can't be yakking at you or on his cell at the same time. What happens if someone messes with the brakes on a regular cab? Did you read the part where it said "pre-programmed"? Rob, it is their tax money - you don't get to complain about how they spend their tax money; you only get to be outraged about how 'they' spend your tax money.

And Yes, I would take one.

I never thought I would say this but:

Free Sarah Palin
CNN's Campbell Brown says:

"Tonight I call on the McCain campaign to stop treating Sarah Palin like she is a delicate flower that will wilt at any moment," said Brown. "This woman is from Alaska for crying out loud. She is strong. She is tough. She is confident. And you claim she is ready to be one heart beat away form the presidency. If that is the case, then end this chauvinistic treatment of her now. Allow her to show her stuff. Allow her to face down those pesky reporters... Let her have a real news conference with real questions. By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you are not showing her the respect she deserves. Free Sarah Palin. Free her from the chauvinistic chain you are binding her with. Sexism in this campaign must come to an end. Sarah Palin has just as much a right to be a real candidate in this race as the men do. So let her act like one."

hunh?

Oh, I'm sorry. didn't you get the talking point? That is like saying "just because I say Barack Hussein Obama - that does not mean I am implying anything".

That fat sausage Rush is now telling the lie that Obama is Arab/African.

Cavuto asked Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-CA) on September 18, "[W]hen you and many of your colleagues were pushing for more minority lending and more expanded lending to folks who heretofore couldn't get mortgages, when you were pushing homeownership ... Are you totally without culpability here? Are you totally blameless? Are you totally irresponsible of anything that happened?" Cavuto later said, "I'm just saying, I don't remember a clarion call that said, 'Fannie and Freddie are a disaster. Loaning to minorities and risky folks is a disaster.'"

CAVUTO: All right, but let me ask you -- but, Congressman, when -- when you and many of your colleagues were pushing for more minority lending and more expanded lending to folks who heretofore couldn't get mortgages, when you were pushing homeownership --

BECERRA: Neil, who did that?

CAVUTO: -- again, no, no, seriously, again with the best of interests --

BECERRA: Who did that?

CAVUTO: I'm not saying -- I'm not blaming one or the other. I'm just saying you and a lot of --

BECERRA: Yeah, but who did that? I'm not aware of anyone asking anyone to make a loan to someone who couldn't afford it.

CAVUTO: I'm just saying, are you -- are you totally -- wait a minute. Are you totally without culpability here? Are you totally blameless? Are you totally irresponsible of anything that happened?

BECERRA: Neil, if you can tell me what Congress did not do that it should …

Go here for a look at the new Palin action doll <warning tomorrow's may be different>.

Thanks, that will go onto my other machine for those times when I am not gaming on it.

Lighting one small candle, chases away a lot of darkness.
Where do you prefer to stand--in the dark or in the light?

I stand with my friends - fear of darkness is weakness; fear of darkness is fear of the unknown.

I prefer to stand where I learn.

Here is both sand painting and throat-singing. It will be destroyed upon completion.

Navajo sand paintings are part of a healing ceremony and should be destroyed before sunrise at the end of the healing. Fortunately, the art has been saved and passed on. Here are some samples.

If you are still looking for answers, do you have a spare HDD connection? If you do, just connect them to a ribbon cable plugged into it and boot; they should show up.

Good I-catching thread title - you will go far, welcome.

Have you tried <ctrl>-H? to look back in your history file? I suggest you get foxmarks bookmark synchronizer - this will both allow to sync across machines but also store your bookmarks for later recovery.

Scientific American Magazine
A Solar Grand Plan
http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=a-solar-grand-plan

Solar power plants could supply 69 percent of the U.S.’s electricity and 35 percent of its total energy by 2050. Excess daytime energy would be stored as compressed air in underground caverns to be tapped during nighttime hours.

I think it would be better to store it as hydrogen (as in cracking water) to support fuel cell technology and (sort of) killing 2 birds with one stone.

For the few, lone liberals here who need a little help getting through the right wing slash and burn politics to election day - try some of these drugs

a little bird was having a heck of time partying and getting it on with the locals when he suddenly noticed that he missed the migration. He thought he would try to head south any way. He struggled against terribly cold winds, then came the rain and sleet. finally he was so cold and his wings started to ice up - he just could not make it any further. His wings locked up and fell into a barnyard. To his great fortune, he fell into a fresh cow patty. this warmed him up and gave him so much more energy, that he started to sing. along came a cat who ate him.

There 3 morals to this story - here are 2 of them:

If you find a warm place in the barnyard, don't sing about it.
Just because someone is helping you out of the sh*t, it does not mean he is your friend.

Why our financial system nearly collapsed

Wrong on so many different levels - blaming the woes of the nation on blacks.

HOW BAD WERE THINGS LAST WEEK? This bad.

Things were so bad that the bush team made another power grab - attempting to take control of the economy specifically excluding congress and the judicial branch.

Barack Obama Votes "Present" on the Most Pressing Financial Issue of Our Time

Yeah, right - a thoughtful person would automatically spew platitudes and cliches just like McCain.

The most interesting feature for me would be the cooling added bonus. It got to be nice. But then, at one point the liquid must get warm, I presume.

Hmm, isn't cooking oil (or some similar oil) one of the ingredients of lava lamps? Now there is a visual.... rather than sink/float non-mixing liquids, how about different colored, non-mixing liquids being stirred by the cooling fans?

Hmm, I will have to look into this (ooh, look - bright, shiny).
