1 Good Morning Morons. Its FRIDAY, March 2, 2012.  And buy it was beautiful here yesterday 81°F and Sunny.  Too bad I couldnÂ’t hit the rockinÂ’ chair and enjoy it. Also the Bradford Pears (otherwise known as the Frankenstein Tree) are starting to bloom now, as well as the trees with the lavender blooms which I can never remember the names of. And on this day in 1836 Texas declared its independence from Mexico.  

2 Fox and idiot Sabato say “lucky breaks” will help Dems hold on to the Senate. None of this article mentions the elephant on the couch.  And that is the damn shitty candidates we are running.  That is what will determine the Senate outcome, not some kind of shit from the shit heads in Maine.

The 17 year old in OH has been charged as a juvenile after three murders. I donÂ’t know how the juvenile offender laws are in OH, but if he were in SC and charged as a juvenile at 21 he would get out of juvenile detention and have his record completely cleared. Some of you Morons/Â’ettes from OH clue us in on how the laws there work.

8 Untrained and incompetent TSA officers now doing random stop and search of cars and trucks.  If I am not mistaken this is illegal and unconstitutional. Of course this article being written by a congress critter doesnÂ’t want to mention that.   And where is the outcry from the libtards?  How they howled when they feds were allowed to review what books you checked out at the library which was something they could ALREADY do. Silence here on random stop and search.  Morons, if you are stopped by one of these goons you do not have to allow them to search your car. Ask them what the probably cause for the stop was and if they have a search warrant.  If they donÂ’t tell them you do not consent to a search.

9 Y-not brought this up yesterday that the MI Republican Party was playing funny business with the delegate split in MI.  I responded that it depended on how they were doing it. If it was done by district that was within the rules.  However, from this article it appears that it was not.  They awarded both “at large” delegates to Romney.  But there is no “establishment push” from Romney is there?  Santorum should formally challenge this and AZ which was blatantly against the rules.

16 Fox showing a video of OÂ’lyingasshole calling for congress to end “subsidies” etc for oil companies.  I would love to see an expose in what these so called “subsidies” are.  The U.S. has the second highest tax rate for oil in the world. The only one higher is communist Venezuela.   And the subsidies he is talking about?  Nothing more than normal cost of doing business deductions from gross receipts to determine “profit”.  No mention of the absolute scam they have for “solar” bullshit where they give tax “credits”, not a deduction.  That entire “tax credit” portion of the tax forms should be eliminated.  ALL.OF.IT

17 And thatÂ’s it for the news this morning.

18 So, in light of the delegate split, are people finally going to admit that maybe the party leadership does favor Romney like we've been saying?

19 I don't see how anyone could report inflation at 2-3% without laughing their ass off.  But report it like that they did.  Our news media is just an arm of the Obama lie machine.

20 AZ which was blatantly against the rules *** AZ was already penalized. Its delegates were halved.

Not sure how they work because my Hatettes kept their fucking noses clean and I don't have a damn reason to know how they work otherwise.  But there's no way that kid has any anonymity around Chardon after this; that just ain't happening.  Somebody told me that the kid who shot the school up had neither parent present for his preliminary hearing; that right there probably tells you all you need to know about the underlying causes of this tragedy.  I know the kid comes from a broken home (and I read somewhere, but haven't followed up, that his deadbeat dad might be in prison; but I stress that I might be wrong about that) but to not take responsibility for your own flesh and blood, the actions of which you're complicit in producing, is pretty fucking shitty and if I were one of the parents of the murdered children I'd want to stomp a deep hole in both their asses.

22 Thank you Vic, as always, for the morning headlines. I start my day following your leads!

23 AZ was already penalized. Its delegates were halved.

Posted by: Bevel Lemelisk at March 02, 2012 07:17 AM (Q0a9K)

----------------------------

Everybody keeps saying that but that penalty was for moving the primary.  Not following the delegate rules. Noot didn't accept that for one of the primaries and Sanatorium shouldn't accept it from AZ either.

As far as I am concerned I don't like any of these damn candidates but when the Party starts violating its own rules to give "their" preferred candidate a boost its time to abandon the party. I am halfway there already.

24 5 - I didn't get the sense the guy was a liberal, Vic. They disagreed on some things. A lot got left unsaid. And I'm sorry to say this again, but I would hope that there is a real look at possible causes here. Yeah, he had a "heart condition," but he was in a bar, surrounded by strangers within an hour of his death. It needs to be examined, hopefully by someone competent and impartial.

25 Thanks for the headlines, Vic!  I hope your wife is doing well.  (If you already posted info, I missed it as I do not get to read every post like some morons..)

26 Vic why has this garbage software produced so many screwball symbols in your comments?  Are you writing them up on Word and then pasting them because I have a feeling some formatting symbols are screwing the pooch.

27 Posted by: Vic at March 02, 2012 07:20 AM (YdQQY) *** The current rules are that if you break the rules, the punishment is to halve the delegates. But they can't do anything else if you break another rule. Newt complained but nothing was done about it (at least, that was my understanding.)

28 On the kid being charged as a juvy, first they were running out of time to charge him. Second, since he is under 18 it goes to juvy court first where the prosecutor then petitions that he can be tried as an adult.
 
For a case like this, he will be tried as an adult.

It would be virtually impossible to debate anyone at a bar in Brentwood without it being a liberal.

As for the heart attack, that should be pretty obvious. These tales of super secret potions that will mimic a heart attack and be undetectable rank up there with silenced revolvers in the credibility department.

It takes at least 95% blockage of an artery to bring on a heart attack, and that is easily detectable. There are some heart attacks brought on by rare factors but those also are detectable.

He has filed an official protest over the delgate split and it hasn't been resolved yet. If it isn't resolved by the convention and Noot is still in the running I suspect there will be a huge floor fight. 

As I said, the Republican party is in danger of becoming who they replaced, The Whigs.

They had a couple of guys on Fox this morning that talked about the differences between the left and the right on that score.  They said the left is ALWAYS on the hard attack while the right is in more of a go along to get along mode.


I disagreed with that.  They were describing the differences between the Democrat party and the Republican party, not conservatives and liberals.

39 Maybe it's using firefox which is showing the weird symbols because just about every one of your early posts has them.


Btw, have any of you morons seen any words from Repuke party central as far as words of condolences for Breitbart?  I'm pretty sure Reince Priebus has been gelded after he showed some testosterone and compared the JEF to that awol dago cruise ship captain.  Chief eunuch Rove can't be bothered from his cuddle party with Mike Castle to say any words of sympathy for somebody who defended Palin and her icky wimmenz parts in that unpcoming HBO hit job.  What a disgraceful pile of fucking garbage to have for a political party.

42 Last nights Red Eye tribute to Breibart was one of the best, funniest hours of television I've ever seen.  They didn't mourn him, they celebrated him!  If Fox repeats it it's definitely worth a watch.  I'm betting this episode is going to be one of todays "stories".

43 The laser wasn't cancelled for lack of funding (that's a truism - cancelling a project means lack of funding). It was cancelled because it was another in a long line of complete and utter missile defense failures. Missile defense = right wing global warming

44 35 Vic,
 
From the article:
 
It's the first step in proceedings that could see him charged as an adult and facing the possibility of life without parole if convicted.
 
I'm also seeing the garbage characters. I use Firefox if it matters.

45 The second line of your first comment has them, Vic

I've long believed that it's not just good to be loved by good people - it's also good to be hated by evil people.  Libtards are morally evil people, and if they hate us we know we're going a good job. 

Sadly, the fact of the Liberals' existence is what is bringing down our democratic republic.  They can't live by any kind of reasonable moral standard, they can't live in peace beside those who disagree with them, everything they say about every subject is either a lie or a selected, isolated fact meant to create a false impression, and they even refuse to live with the results of elections that go against them.  They make civil war, or our side's eventual defeat and disenfranchisement, inevitable.

Have to agree.  They would rather say nothing than "offend" anyone.

I was a bit surprised, but shouldn't be, that the ABC nightly news did not say a word about Breitbart last night.

But I found really interesting is that there was not one main page story over at Daily Kooks on Breitbart.  Not one.  I think they were simply afraid of the man.

Well, except for the fact that we've actually intercepted missles many times with ABM systems and it's a proven fact that the technology now works.  Further, ongoing refinements of technology can actually improve a piece of  hardware and make it better - it can progress  and get better.  Global warming is nothing more than myth-making with charts and graphs.  It's just more bad science meant to hijack public funds in order to produce... nothing.

On this day in 1836, delegates signed the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico, in large part because General Santa Anna de Lopez had seized power and abrogated the Constitution of 1824.  The siege of the Alamo was by then in its 9th day and would fall to the Mexican troops on March 6th. 

 

Happy Texas Independence Day to all you morons.  You guys keep me entertained and informed.

Considering the bill has nothing to do with that. Then of course your AA woman call in and say "I hope the world sees the hate for this president and that we are the most racist country." We are doomed.

That charging him as juvy was protocol but the prosecutor would eventually push to charge as an adult.

64 @36 All the left has is concentrated hate where there heads and hearts reside. Remember what the Paul Wellstone memorial was like?

65 Vic I can read most of what you post so it's not a major thing; I just thought you'd want to know about it.

66 I don't know what else to do. If it will not accept ASCII text it is truly hosed.  The very reason for ASCII text is to have a universal code that anything will accept.

Who is NT seeing garbage?  I am not and I am using FF 10.0.2

LOL - what a world traveler that bitch must be.  What a joke.  No other nation ON EARTH goes as far as the US to be anti-racist.  If you want to see abundant casual racism, go to any nation that is populated chiefly by people who's skin is some shade of brown.  Happily, people in places like that are less likely to be hypersensitive wilting violets.  They can carry on with life and worry about stuff that actually matters, rather than whether someone doesn't like the shade of their skin.

Breitbart liking us commenters was a big cherry on top for me in hanging out at this blog. Damn I will miss him.

Hard to believe that the asshole who posted "screw 'em" over some dead contractors in Iraq would worry about his fellow feral retards making complete disgraces out of themselves on his blog but there has to be some reason.  Maybe he wanted to snub his memory by ignoring him but I don't think they've ever opted for that tactic before.  Speaking of which I read elsewhere that kos was trying to get the Westboro nutjobs to protest at his funeral.  Anybody else hear that?  It would make sense because one thing the MFM never reports is that fuckhead Phelps is a donk.

79 @73 Hopefully it's of him saying things like he's not American or hates America or something along those lines.

84 Wow, that really comes up weird in FF after posting in IE-8.0

Methinks blog is broke.

85 I'm using Opera, and I see no garbled characters. Posts come in fine.

86 I think there is generally, a difference between left and right, in temperament. Ace was sort of talking about it yesterday, and it's one of the things I was thinking about all day. What distinguished Breitbart from any number of people on the right was his willingness to accept the challenge from the left as not just being his opponent in a debate. He saw them as, to a very large extent, the enemy. And even now, I have a hard time describing the left as evil or any equivalent word. I know evil exists, and I'm sure a lot of it does on the left, but that's where the difference comes in. Many of us, we call ourselves "conservative," and part of that means there is a hard-wired component to how we interact with people. I go to work, am surrounded by liberals, and do my best not to upset the status quo. Not because I'm a coward, but because there are many other things to consider, other than just wanting to bloody the noses of those with whom I disagree. Breitbart was not only willing to bloody some noses, he seemed to enjoy it. There aren't many on the right who do that, and he will be sorely missed because it's sorely lacking on our side. Call it a character flaw, which at times it would be. In "normal" times, for example, but we're not living in normal times. Some of us are having a hard time engaging them on that level, but more of us probably should... and even there, I had to throw in the word "probably."

87 Do you have any idea the shit I heard yesterday?

That's never an optimal situation.  But given the urgency of the need, I'd say that it was warranted.  Even a low-to-moderate success rate is better than nothing when it comes to missile defense.  And happily nobody has to ride an ABM missile into battle.  If it fails, it just fails.  It will not prevent the loss it was meant to prevent, but at least it doesn't cause any more net losses.

It should also be noted that missile defense development was, itself, a kind of weapon.  The Russians believed we could do it.  That's why they've always had such a hard on over the issue.  This made (and still makes) the very concept itself a tool for leverage.

The left and MFM established the meme that the Pigford video was fake and that he defamed that scrunt Sherrod and that is all they will accept now.

Nothing could be further from the truth.  Its just like that lie that Clinton "triangulated" to the center and pushed welfare reform.  That was another big lie that has been established as "truth". 

92 I think the weird symbols is a case of what international character set you are using.  It happens a lot on the web.

Unless you match exactly what the poster has set for their settings, you simply see something different, because symbol #123, for example, is something completely different than his.  The, when you add unicode into the mix, it gets all fouled up.

Vic - are you using Windows?  If you go into Control Panel, and then "Regional Settings" are you set for "English (United States)"?

The Chairman sent condolences for Breitbart's passing yesterday morning. He also posted this message on twitter:

Great observation.  Personally I've never understood fellow conservatives who Don't see the left as the enemy.  They things they do and believe are evil.  Everything they say is a lie.  If they get their way, all man kind is f-ed over for good.  They justify mass murderers.  They are hypocrites on every moral issue.

Breitbard understood the enemy, and reacted appropriately.  Bless his memory. 

99 As if our MOST Favored Nation China, purchasing Iranian oil, will not persist in defiance of the not unanimous UN boycott v. Iran. 

"The US believes India will be the only major Asian buyer of Iranian crude to maintain its imports in the first half of this year"... Financial Times

Somewhere near the end of the article is mentioned that India has already been cutting back levels of Iranian oil purchased over the recent years, unlike China and other nations specifically not mentioned by name.

What's best for the populations of India, Central and Eastern Europe, China and Asia is null and void when X plays monopoly. Noncompliance is all it takes to suffer the wrath of X.

Given Hillary Clinton as exemplar, America has to fuck the entire world in order to fuck a target. And true to her Alinsky model, taking down India will prove how tough she/we are, striking down whom she/we perceive to be weak, ignoring the resisting victim's "innocence" or reasons, in denial of resulting larger problems than the initial purpose being forcibly addressed.

India has in recent years trimmed the amount of oil it buys from Iran. Some Indian refiners have expanded supplies from Saudi Arabia and other countries, but Indian officials are steadfast that there is no room for further cuts in Iranian supplies.   Aides close to Manmohan Singh, the prime minister, believe that India has already done as much as it feels it can. One top Indian diplomat says that the US is making a “mistake” by painting India as an outlier and should be tougher on European partners that have increased supplies from Iran in recent years.   “We respect UN sanctions but will not honour any other sanction. We have cordial relations with Iran and we continue to import oil from them,” Jaipal Reddy, IndiaÂ’s oil minister told a parliamentary consultation this week.    “Many of our oil refineries can only process thin Iranian oil. To change this will create an immediate shortage,” says Mohan Guruswamy, the chairman of the Centre for Policy Alternatives in New Delhi.“We may lessen our imports but we will continue. India makes its own policy."

123 Parents should be allowed to have their newborn babies killed because they are “morally irrelevant” and ending their lives is no different to abortion, a
group of medical ethicists linked to Oxford University says.

Didn't someone else have a similar paper come out?  Or was this already reported?  I remember hearing this during the last week or so, I thought.

And, indeed, they're correct: there is no moral difference between the born and the unborn.  Too bad they don't have the guts to see that thought all the way through to the end.  I'd be entertained to see the lengths they'd go through to put a stamp on when murder suddenly becomes immoral.  Because if there's no moral difference between an unborn infant and a born infant, what is the moral difference between a born infant of, say, 6 days and 6 weeks?  Or 6 weeks and 6 months?  Or 6 months an a year?  Or one year and 18 mos?  Or 18 mos and 2 years?  Or 2 years and 3 years?

I'm sure you see how that's going: and of course there is no moral difference between an unborn infant and any other human being.  But they won't let themselves examine the question in that way, because if they do they wouldn't be able to support their main idea that abortion should be okay.

127 You can't get in a situation where parents are allowed to kill their teenagers. Or maybe not. College costs would go way down. Supply and demand.

128 You can't get in a situation where parents are allowed to kill their teenagers.

If there is any class of human being I think it even might be morally justified to kill, it's 16 year olds.

129 It's too bad that Stanley Ann Dunham was punished with a baby for being an out of control nympho tramp.

130 That's why they obtain their full speed and size at 16 so that you can't catch them easily. It's a survival trait built in to the species. The first summer after freshman year in college is a challenge too.

131 (CNSNews.com) – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a House panel Thursday that a reduction in the number of human beings born in the United States will compensate employers and insurers for the cost of complying with  the new HHS mandate that will require all health-care plans to cover sterilizations and all FDA-approved contraceptives, including those that cause abortions.

So what you're saying is that we should start laying traps for them, and tricking them.  Then, over the next several eons, they'll evolve from mindless, self-centered jerks, to canny, self-centered jerks.

Breitbart was at Bill Ayers' house because Tucker Carlson had won a sweepstakes to have dinner with Ayers, and he brougth AB along as his plus one.  That    must have been an AWESOME night, seriously.   I wonder if Ayers went to bed weeping and soaked with his own urine.

195 to continue bjk -- ABM and V22 had formal spiral development agreements, and are not the only systems fielded that do (e.g.: virtually all the C2 programs) The formal spiral development process is better then very common process of fielding items with waivers, or as COTS painted green. The V22's test report was written in blood, the ABM system has extensive "testing" - but formal system signoff is complicated by treaties and liberal copperheads sprinkled throughout the government.

211 Vic -- they make airsoft shotguns, legal everywhere. My wife fails to appreciate the skill needed to hit a running field mouse in the dark on my porch with an airsoft pistol and not spilling the whiskey in my off hand. The neighbor's cat has however learned to sit quietly and carry off the stunned ones to fates unknown (oddly he triages, and lets the dead ones lay).

213 113 Killing babies no different from abortion, experts say

Parents should be allowed to have their newborn babies killed because they are
“morally irrelevant” and ending their lives is no different to abortion, a
group of medical ethicists linked to Oxford University says.

And these sick f**ks call themselves ethicists?  A tidal wave of irony and not a drop on them.

214 Want to see the power of Blackdemocratium? How about this, you can be pulled for doing 105 mph and get off with a warning.

from another article

The cruiser's speedometer, however, did show that he needed to drive 105 mph to catch up with her."The police officer did not have enough time and space to establish a pace of the car that he eventually pulled over," Davis said."

and

Toles was cited for leaving the roadway while trying to pass a vehicle on Pennsylvania Avenue near the Beltway.

So very enthusiastic highway driving and the cop had to fly to catch her.

I've gotten a "just take it easier" next time via White RepublicanMoronian vs. ? Asian-American over here in Mont. Co.  after staging the goat on a long overpass.  Didn't see him 2 behind in lane to my right.  Launched it 1/3, full @ 60', lifted after 2-3 shift, speedo over 85.  Oops, flashing lights, he says I had to go 75 to catch you.  I say Hey it's Friday Night.  Buh-bye.

I actually look for a DWB rabbit on long trips now.

215 According to Big Government, LA will be doing an autopsy on AB today. A number of Brietbart's friends have said that AB knew that he had heart trouble, and that his doctor had told him that he had to slow down and reduce stress.

LOL, cats are not scavengers.  They like for their "fresh food" to squirm a little bit. 

I have a pump up BB/Pellet rifle I could shoot them with but when they are sitting on the feeder I would have houses aligned with them behind it and I don't think I can hit them in flight with a pellet rifle.

218  A caller from SavageÂ’s native New York City said thereÂ’s a simple way to find out what happened.

“If the tapes come out, he died of a heart attack,” the caller said. “If the tapes don’t come out, they whacked him.”

“I told him two years ago to get a body guard. Never be alone in the street,” Savage said.

219 Savage is an idiot. or maybe not. He is still making money off his schtick.

220 We don't need to start subscribing to yet another conspiracy theory. There is no heart attack drug. Posted by: Vic at March 02, 2012 09:38 AM (YdQQY) Sometimes heart attacks are not caused by blockages. Sometimes the signal and response system pukes on itself and your heart stops working right. One very simple thing that can stop your heart is potassium chloride. I suspect AB had heart problems that had little to do with blockages, and the conspiracy stuff is the work of the imagination.

Morning, Y-not.   I'm not positive but I suspect it has something to do with Rush calling Sandra Fluke a 'slut' yesterday on his show....but that's just a guess.

223 Vic, If you're still here: The root of the problem is MS Word smart quotes. It changes straight quotes to left and right quotes. ASCII is off the table for a couple of reasons: 1. In ASCII, the smart quotes are in the top half of the range (high bit set, > 127), so those would be defined by codepage or character set 2. Everything has been moving to Unicode (multi-byte character sets), and this is why there are multiple garbage characters showing in place of the one replaced character If I leave my browser on its default character set settings, the smart quotes look like crap. If I force it to Unicode UTF-8, the quotes and degree symbols look fine in your original comments but are represented with "?" characters in your "fixed" comments (and in Y-not's @20 . The blog-breaker is to blame for forcing the hacks put in place to guard against him, but the transition to UTF has been extremely painful even outside the confines of this place.

My kids read "Animal Farm" in 8th grade and did a whole unit of role-playing around it.  It had a big effect on both of them.  I love watching a news progam or even a fictional TV show with my daughter and hearing her say, "wow, all animals are equal but some are more equal than others!"  She hates Barack Obama and thinks he has F'ed the country so badly that she wants to go to college and live in Canada.

228 Morning, Y-not. I'm not positive but I suspect it has something to do with Rush calling Sandra Fluke a 'slut' yesterday on his show....but that's just a guess. Hey, Tami! How are you feeling today? My husband and I have decided to end each day by listing three things that day that made us feel happy. For me yesterday it was hugging my husband and liking the way he smelled; noticing how pretty the view was during the 30 minutes or so when the sun was actually shining (we had snow yesterday); and eating a piece of chocolate. Dumb, but maybe it will help us keep some perspective. This election season is starting to feel depressingly like 2008. Oh, and, you are right. It is to do with the Fluke comments. Funny as heck that a mattress company is the first to react to that.

229 Take care, Vic!

230 The sea ice story was interesting, although I was familiar with the 20's ice melt.  What just occurred to me was: that summer and the summer of 1958 (the _Skate_), were sea levels unusually high in the Lower 48?  I know for damn sure that the Maldives did not disappear, so what happened?  Can we use that as a counterargument with the warmmongers?

231 Regarding the conspiracy aspect of this, I believe it is too soon to be "connecting dots" on anything, but it's also too soon to be dismissing anything.  Keep an open mind, and let the facts come out as they will.  We won't start with a supposition, but it's not crazy to say that IF the left had a hit list, Breitbart would be somewhere very near the top of that list.  He was a threat to them, and it's obviously not a stretch to say some of them are very glad he's gone.

232 This, in my opinion, is one of the concerns I have about Romney. Too concerned with playing it safe. @Riehl Nor will he lead in any effort worth following: Romney pledges not to embarrass http://tinyurl.com/7fvbcca

That's a good positive way to get through this mess.  Good idea!


Wonder if their sales will drop?  I suspect the people cheering on SleepTrain for dropping their advertising aren't the ones that buy the things.

234 What just occurred to me was: that summer and the summer of 1958 (the _Skate_), were sea levels unusually high in the Lower 48? Arctic ice floats. It displaces as much water as it would melt into.

235 Funny as heck that a mattress company is the first to react to that. I'd be pissed, too. You'd think Rush Limbaugh would be sophisticated enough not to plug his advertiser's competition.

That commie criminal son of a bitch has a personal chef. He ought to be rotting in a prison. And isn't having a chef a bit 1%ish? Oh that's right, some comrades are more equal than others.

238 Vic,

226 has the gist; don't use Word. It's notorious for using characters that can't be displayed in Unicode.

Was there any reason you couldn't write the whole thing in Notepad?

#228 Central Bucks School District, Bucks County, PA.  Great public schools, though there is World War III going on now over a sudden change in the middle school curriculum that parents are unanimously opposing.  Luckily my daughter is in 9th grade and won't be affected.  Last year our high school graduated 100% of the class that entered in 2008.  The district has the 4th highest test scores in the state and one of the lowest per-pupil expenditures.  It is really a model school district, and a very large one with 12 elementary schools, five middle schools, and three high schools.  No liberal indoctrination in the curriculum, very little required reading but lots of "choose your own book" reading so I can control what my kids read.

244 I second the diagnosis of Front Toward Left @226: Smart Quotes, sometimes called Typesetting Quotes. Your word processor is sensing by context as you type, and replacing the keyboard quote mark (ASCII 22 - straight) with either the left (open) or right (close) double quote (ASCII 93 or 94 - curly). Once that substitution is made, the character is permanently fubared.

The reason you don't see it in Notepad is because the default Courier font displays the same straight symbol for all three double quote characters.

The same deal for the keyboard apostrophe (ASCII 27), auto-replaced in some contexts with left or right single quotes (ASCII 91 or 92).

You can get similar problems if there's a Mac anywhere in your chain of custody. Older Macs use the ANSI character encoding tables where Windows uses ASCII or the Windows encoding tables (based on ASCII). For most alphanumerics, the tables match up. But the table positions of punctuation, accented Western letters and many math symbols vary hugely. I've been told the problem is gone from newer Mac OSes, but haven't seen proof one way or another.

When you report if you do or don't see an error on one of these tests, mention your machine and OS as well as the browser and version you're using. Firefox for Mac and Firefox for Windows are two very different kettles of fish. I imagine iPads, iPhones and iTouches present similar Apple/Win issues. I'd also wonder about Safari browser on either platform.

Android tablets and phones are a whole other country.

245 Oh, that Georgetown law student, the one who knowingly went to a Jesuit institution so she could get other people to pay for her pills? If anyone cares, I thought up a new hashtag, so pile on...the liberals have made Fluke americas next greatest hero ever. So maybe some push back #hobofluke

246 Vic -- since it's just the apostrophes and quotation marks that were troubling, I wonder if it's something to do with a "smart quotes" type of feature (sorry I'm not a regular Word user so I don't know if that's the correct terminology in the program.) It automatically converts your typing in the straight hash mark shown on your keyboard to the curly form that's the proper typographical apostrophe/quotation mark. But since it's a program feature, maybe something in how the program executes it renders the result not universally understandable.

The power system for the completed laser project has probably already found a new home over at the railgun shop. Any storage tech developed to meet that projects goals was probably shipped across in the same crate of goodies. It was a cool research process and I'm going to nap soundly knowing that we do transfer this stuff horizontally and vertically and can sometimes even keep a secret, secret.
