I was expecting the guy in the ape suit... it was different this time.

Oh come on man, I stood up for you with this, don't do this to me now

you're right, it's the "i" series.

If you don't need a strong graphics solution, and you want to minimize the number of noise producing fans... have you considered going with one of Intel's K processors that has a GPU on the chip?

Or if the building was owned by a corporation of which every resident, and only the residents, were equal stock holders?

I have a gigabyte GTX 760 and the GPU fans run continuously even when I'm only using the browser or the machine is idling. If that helps putting your plans into perspective.

Good for you sir! I still pay mine, but that's a choice I make. I don't really feel bad when I'm late on a payment though. People like you make it easier for the rest of us to make the obvious choice... you're also doing a big part towards popping the student loan bubble. Others have mentioned the personal consequences of you making this fine decision, but that's why your choice takes bravery. Hopefully our generation will have more resolve than the previous one which was wiped away by the housing bubble, ( Walk Away: The Rise and Fall of the Home Ownership Myth - Mises.org ) tell those rotten banks backed by monopoly money to stick it where the sun don't shine... THEIR BALANCE SHEETS!!!!!

I'd say it's closer to "make use of"

Kind of difficult to use logic to convince you to accept logic.

I agree.. that is completely inappropriate. I guess I was focusing more on the idea that pointing lasers at aircraft "is no big deal" as opposed to just how hard the court came down on some guy that did it.

The video I posted seems to refute this claim.

There are entire books written on deriving the NAP from rational arguments. Stef wrote one himself.

I don't really find any problem with what you wrote. I guess the question is; does the governing body violate the principle which it was created to uphold?

You neglected the implications for the aerodynamic arguments.

DeMause has some good stuff on this idea. http://www.psychohistory.com/htm/06a1_incest.html

So what's the deal with this, man? You present an image and assert that it shows an aircraft in level flight. I agree with you, which you use as an argument to proclaim the airplane cannot produce enough thrust to achieve the impact speed in level flight? You then state that the video record shows the aircraft in a descent at the point of impact.... You've just invalidated your argument that the aircraft cannot reach the speed in level flight.... it is not in level flight..

I just want to give a thanks to Stef and Co. for recently coming up with the, "EEEEEGGGGGSSSSS!" Joke. I think it's extremely helpful in reaching an understanding with my base animal drives. By giving my animal desires a voice (that makes me laugh) this aspect of my personality can now take a seat at the mecosystem table. Previously a beautiful women would of course have my complete attention. I would have difficulty being aware of the reaction that I was having. Now that I can relate to this joke, of course my reaction does not change, and I will still be left speechless at the sight of a beautiful girl. But now.....in some corner of my head... I can hear it echoing LOL.. "eeeeeeggggsssss!!!!" This personification I find hilarious, and that humor I think helps to keep me aware and in the moment while in these situations. I just wanted to post how I felt about this line of humor, and to see if others found it as helpful as I do.

Yep. That's about the best example of level flight available, especially when the altitude of the impact is known. Looks like a Boeing 767, and I think this image proves that the engines produce enough thrust to overspeed the aircraft by 150mph in level flight.

Did she end up sleeping with her coworker? How long did that last and what was the outcome for her? Was this the only person she slept with during your "break"? Also, why weren't you guys married after dating for nine years? EDIT: I also want to express my sympathy for this loss. I can understand this was a very important part of your life that is now gone... and I'm really sorry to hear that. Hopefully with our questions we can maybe help.

I've been thinking about how much of our world would be considered magic and superstitious to the people of ancient Greece/ Rome. How would I convince Socrates that electricity exists? I would think the foundational idea would be making a prediction which would rely on the existence of electricity. If my prediction came true, they may claim it being the work of the gods, or something else. I would have to repeat my demonstration multiple times and in probably different ways, preferably showing an ability to use electricity on command. How would you convince them that sickness was caused by bacteria and virus's? That's an idea that we take for granted and yet about 99% of use have never seen a disease causing bacteria or virus. But we know it's true, with a certainty that if any deity could match it would cease to be spiritual and take it's place in the world of scientific fact.

I saw just part of this movie some years ago (I think this was it) and became convinced it was about sexual assault. I agree with the others that these movies can really be understood as trauma and psychosis.

Would you mind giving us some examples of what's happening when the instructor has to take the wheel, use the brakes, or gets vocal?

So how is life inside the Matrix these days?

That's got "Dead End Job" written all over it.
