[QUOTE=sneekula;490633]To prevent fools from voting is difficult right now too. Voter exams have been outlawed in previous times.[/QUOTE] For reasonably good reasons. And besides, don't the foolish deserve representation in the government as well?

How are you defining dimension here? Only the physical dimensions?

But of course! Consider: In the US, one popular brand of bottled water goes by the name 'Evian'. Spell that backwards.

I'd like to second the mention from niek_e. I've had it happen four times on me in the past ten minutes; each time, backing out and clicking the same thing got me the page I wanted. First time occured during an attempt to give a reputation comment to Jwenting in …

[QUOTE=Infarction;482956][edit: forgot about this bit] I do agree that enforcing racial diversity is a dead weight to carry around. But a lot of those problems are probably regional as well. It's sad that racial walls in the US (and possibly elsewhere) still exist to the point that companies bring up …

If this is in the wrong place, I apologize, and humbly ask that my query be relocated to the correct forum. Thank you. Recently, my boss requested that I put together a Delphi program for use on a number of computer systems in the area. Some of these systems are …

[QUOTE=vegaseat;482687]Agent orange is normally contaminated with other chemicals that cause mutations.

[quote=joshSCH;401165]And Rashakil, shut up, you can't assume what I think or why I think it.[/quote] He can assume whatever he likes. Doesn't mean it's correct.

Narue si back! Rejoicings!

@JoshSCH: You may be right. MidiMagic may be wrong. I neither know enough, nor (at this point in time) care enough to determine who is correct between the two of you on my own. However, by presenting the arguments the two of you are in this forum, I find myself …

I have been working on a program designed to read information from an Access database and display it on the screen. As my main development box doesn't have a copy of Access on it, I copied the data over to a PostgreSQL database and attempted to work from that. Now, …

I believe, Sturm, that she was putting the focus on the giving...that is, as opposed to the 'GIMME! GIMME!' mentality that some people seem to have about the season. THAT, I would say, is what really supports 'American materialism'.

[quote=jasimp;439249]Dogs are very loud, rambunctious and I don't like them, unless they are small and quite, like a cat.[/quote] Quite what? And if you instead meant quiet, you've never met a cat like the two I live with.

Only because of the fact that more Americans agreed with them. If I recall what I've read correctly, it stated that ~2/3 of Al Gore's recount funds in the 2K election were from ~ 84 rich celebs. Of course, the media chose to skewer the recount funding results by by …

A-salt on a police officer, no less!

Might be interesting...although in such cases I'm reminded of a quote I saw once. "Software engineering is a race between programmers, who strive to produce fool-proof software, and the universe, which strives to produce bigger fools." (Underneath: "So far, the universe is winning.")

I would agree with the general consensus here so far, based on what I've seen elsewhere. I would also like to note something I saw written down that seemed interesting to me. Several years ago, (sometime in the early 90's if I recall correctly) the 'average' global temperature is supposed …

They could. The communications would take a lot longer than they'd like, no doubt, given that the light-lag between the two would be increasing, (I'm assuming light or radio communications in vacuum here, as that's going to hit the fastest possible trasmission) but the worlds themselves could communicate. It'd probably …

If (as I assume) by 'Arnie' you mean Arnold Schwarzenegger, he's not eligible to run for President. Sorry, I agree that (from what little I've seen) he might be a good choice. Still not sure who I'm going to vote for, except definitely not for Hillary. One Clinton presidency was …

I stand in favor of the use of nuclear power. As stated, the other 'clean' energy sources aren't capable of holding the load. (I believe I saw something once stating that Solar, Wind, and Hydro together would be able to account for only a few percent of our current energy …

1 + 4, maybe?

[quote=bumsfeld;463345]Wonder how many folks hold up a gun store with the gun they just purchased?[/quote] Loaded or unloaded? And you'd have to be an idiot to hold up a gun store anyway...the clerk is probably armed, the customers are probably armed, etc...

Besides the fact that there are still conspiracy theorists over six years later? Although given that there are still people who believe in conspiracies behind the JFK murder, etc...perhaps that's not so strange.

[quote=lasher511;404606]Yes Russia gave up but that was because they believed it. As i said in my previous post it was not untill 1990 thats the moon landing conspiracy was raised. Which is how many decades after it actually took place. If the conspiracy had been raised right after the moon …

[quote=Salem;397307]The US tried prohibition once. It didn't work then, and there's no reason to think that a "war on drugs" is going to work now. At best, it's an expensive stalemate maintaining the status quo. But it seems more likely to turn into another 1 or 2 decade miserable failure.[/quote] …

Inference and assumption are not the same thing. Admittedly, they are related. You are assuming that the logical statements being inferred from are true. However, the inference itself is the act of deriving the logical conclusion(s) of the statements. I believe Josh was using the correct term in his post. …

Question, Lardmeister. Are you intentionally spelling Karl Rove's name incorrectly here?

Given that it's Lardmeister saying it, and his responses elsewhere in this forum, I'm assuming he was mixing them with 'Liberty Cabbage' (aka sauerkraut).

I don't know about the others, but the 'robber takes less than leaves' one was mentioned in one of the America's Dumbest Criminals books, so I'm willing to buy the authenticity of that one.

Just watch out so you don't commit any more...or any pebkac errors.

First thing: If this is in the wrong forum, I apologize, and ask that it be redirected to the correct place. This simply seems to be the best match so far as I can tell. Does anyone know what kind of formatting is used by Excel? I have been requested …

[quote=Lardmeister;446572]I frankly don't know what that kind of low brow political nonsense (spread your hate kind of stuff) has to do in the Geeks' Lounge?

[quote=Lardmeister;449919]Since you are still alive, you either don't have guts, balls or a wife.[/quote] Not necessarily true. It is possible, after all, that Ancient Dragon has all three but also the wisdom to know when [I]not[/I] to allow the first two to have their moment.

[quote=MidiMagic;415139]- The biggest environmental problem caused by computers is the solid waste caused by the joint efforts of Microsoft and Intel to make computers "bigger and better" by requiring hardware and software upgrades every three years.

Only if you assume an infinitely large universe in which they can exist. After all, you've also got to consider those between that and the sun's size, those approximately the same size as the sun, and all of those stars that are smaller than the sun. Then you've got to …

I am working with a delphi form that appears to have a rather interesting problem. I am developing on a laptop sitting at 1920X1200 resolution. On my form, I have a trio of components. One is permanently invisible, and clicked to align/left. The next is permanently visible, and clicked to …

Got any references for that? It'd be interesting to look into the details.

Outstanding war record? Even though he, on the evidence I've seen, only served a few months of what should have been a year-long tour of duty? Even though afterwards he decried our soldiers as, what was the term, 'baby-killers'? Even after he went so far as to throw away the …
