  1. Clearly, you forgot this post from your previous and now banned screen name. Highly ironic that someone who openly espoused Nazi racial theory is now expressing amazement that racial discrimination might still exist...
  2. Okay...is the study of its effectiveness available????
  3. Actually, retard, they spell it "disk". That's what the definition of "disc" (i.e. "variant of disk), means. When I was in third grade, most of my classmates had learned how to use a dictionary by then...
  4. Re #2: he didn't say the use of torture to extract information, he said the use of torture to extract useful information. I know there's plenty of documented cases from WWII and beyond where people who were tortured ultimately told the interrogators what they wanted to hear and not necessarily the truth. I don't, however, know how often that happens. Has anyone ever studied how reliable a method of interrogation torture really is?
  5. It's not the best order to put the keys in. The QWERTY keyboard was designed to make typing awkward (I forget why...maybe to keep stenographers employed). People have designed better keyboards that increase typing speed by 50% or so...but everyone's so used to the QWERTY keyboard now that there's no incentive to switch.
  6. On their way to the supermarket with their food stamps...
  7. Don't let me breed, then...we wouldn't to spoil the "racial purity" of the species, would we Kurt?
  8. In other words...everything you're not, Kurt?
  9. Blah blah blah blah blah. Remember when your posts used to make sense? Yeah...neither does anyone else...
  10. Kurt hasn't heard of a lot of things. Maybe he'll grace us with further discourse on how Stalin was a stooge of FDR. Ignorant friggin' bonehead.
  11. You're kidding, right? Tell me you're kidding... There's probably freeware out there that supports it (I KNOW LaTeX apps exist for Linux, at least). Problem is, it's old, awkward, and no longer the standard. It's biggest benefit was that when ASCII text editors were the state of the art it allowed researchers to submit articles in ASCII text format using a common standard. Nowadays, they use Word, WordPerfect, or Acrobat. You can probably find the entire LaTeX standard on the web, but I warn you: it's crap. It's the single biggest cause of mental illness in scientists...
  12. I don't know what's more frightening: how little sense that makes, or how much more sense that makes compared to what you usually post.
  13. Ever use the LaTeX formatting spec? Way back before WYSIWIG word processors (e.g. Acrobat), you used to have to use that for submitting papers to journals. I used it once. Once. Makes ASCII-typed math look easy. Even so...that is one nasty equation. It makes me not miss college. What psychopathic professor is requiring stuff be typed out like that? He could at least offer the option of RTF...better yet, download one of the multitude of equation editors out there...
  14. Well, if you don't like my short posts, read Pac_Man's long-winded inane drivel instead.
  15. Let me be more clear: the Constitution specifically defines the boundaries beyond which the government may not go. For example, the government may NOT infringe on the freedom of speech of the populace. What it does NOT do, contrary to your inimitably dense belief, is define the rules under which the populace may live. We are not entitled to free speech because the Constitution grants it, the government is forbidden to interfere with our speech because the Constitution denies it. Jesus Christ, go back to high school and take a civics class, you numbskull.
  16. And lest anyone try to argue "But these rules have worked for years! Why change them?": the Geneva Convention currently in effect is the Fourth Geneva Convention. There is a long tradition of changing the Convention to fit new situations.
  17. The way I usually define this is things which individuals benefit from equally regardless of their input, and consumption from a program by one does not preclude consumption by others. A classic example is clean air and water: even if I contribute a tenth of what you do to clean air efforts, we both benefit equally as we both breathe the same air, and my breathing it does not preclude your breathing it in any way. Roads and sewers are other good examples. Libraries...maybe not so much (and historically, libraries were privately supported. Ever hear of Carnegie?)
  18. A wicked CLEAN hit. Even on occasion when it's caused injury to the player hit. A wicked dirty hit, though...never that. Except maybe against Dan Marino...
  19. Things change...but you're still the same old Annie, totally oblivious to when she's leaving herself open to a gratuitious slam... "Tomorrow, tomorrow...it's only a day aaaaaa-way..."
  20. Especially late at night, on the phone...
  21. Oooooh...it's the whips and the rack for you...
  22. Yes, that is true...but that's not what I meant. I blame the inherent problems in communicating math in ASCII text on a message board...
  23. I'm sorry...sober enough to type. For all I know, you're functionally mute with liquor right now. Of course, even if you were functionally mute right now, it wouldn't stop you from picking up the phone...we've got to work on that...
