Overnight Open Thread (26 April 2013)
— CDR M

Heh, the squealing begins. FAA furlough reprieve: 'No fair!'.
Disability Scammer

Oh, I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. The alleged disability insurance scammers whose frauds got caught on camera.

Disability fraud is not a terribly hard crime to get away with. You claim you’ve been injured, get a shady doctor to sign off, and then you stick to the fakery. If you say you’ve hurt your back, remain recumbent! Don’t go climbing trees or fixing your roof in public. And certainly do not upload to YouTube a video that shows you half-naked and covered in tinfoil, doing “the robot” to the tune of Steppenwolf’s “Magic Carpet Ride.”

Boston PD K-9 Use

Bob Owens wonders did Boston PD fail to use K-9 units correctly in terrorist hunt? I'm also curious as to how the bombers were able to stroll around for hours with their bombs and not have a bomb sniffin' dog pick up on it at the marathon. I assume they never got close enough to a K-9.

Public Education Decline

This is stupid. Texas follows California in dropping algebra requirement. I guess they expect kids to just rely on apps for figuring out everyday problems that require this type of thinking. Or they just want kids to pay extra for the remedial math courses they'll have to take in college.

Oh, and if you thought the story of the NY middle school forcing students to ask for a gay kiss was bad, Germany would like you to know they can top that. Berlin first graders get explicit sex eduction book. NSFW if you click on the images included in the article (which are sketches instead of photos).

The book, "Where Do You Come From?" ("Wo kommst du her?"), which is recommended for ages 5 and up, shows a couple, Lisa and Lars, in various stages of arousal. In one illustration, Lisa puts a condom on Lars' erect penis. Another shows them having intercourse. The text also veers toward the explicit.

Footee

I'm down with giving this "sport" a try. I'll bring the first keg.

All Plastic Gun

The first all-plastic 3D-printed gun will be available to download in 2 weeks. Really hard to get too excited over this since the plastic gun hasn't been shown to last very long.

If all goes to plan, Wilson says the 3D-printed gun — which will be a custom design, rather than a reproduction of an existing pistol — will be able to fire a “few shots” before melting or breaking. After testing, the design will be uploaded to the web, so that anyone with a 3D printer can print out the handgun. You’ll still need to source your own ammunition and firing pin, though.

Dog Tattoo

I'm gonna have to say that tattooing your dog is wrong.

24 dropping Algebra is a stupid requirement.
it just places more burden on colleges to teach more and more highschool-level math.
and because students are still taking highschool-level math in college, they aren't ready to start the introductory college-level science classes.
hence they don't graduate for 5,6,7 years.

re: Bob Owens and K9s

Best NCIS episode this year, directed by the guy who plays DiNozzo, celebrated the role of dogs in the military. Person of Interest also added a military veteran to the cast (a Dutch-trained K9 that served in Iraq).

Boston PD, and all cops (I'm sure NYPD is good on this), need to use the K9s properly

50 41 "Kinda surprised Texas had an algebra requirement."

In NYS, we were given the option of taking HS math, specifically algebra, in 8th grade.

Turns out that scientific studies have shown that 7th and 8th graders taking algebra end up being worse at math throughout their entire academic careers than those who were allowed to wait before taking algebra, if they had to at all.

My scientific evidence: I took algebra in 8th grade, and I suck at math

I miss those days.

92 I wonder if they made the pressure air tight and cleaned with bleach or something that could hid the smell of gun power dust so the dogs could not even smell it if they got the chance. The ATF has to be testing that and if dogs can smell a air tight pressure cooker and if any cleaner could be used. Are dog even trained to smell gun power as they might get a hit on someone who was just at the range and gun power smoke could linger on a persons for a while.

A whole bunch of us were up at the (late, lamented) BFF's and the one tv channel played actual hard core porn after midnight.   We had it on in the background and suddenly everyone went dead quiet and then you heard a chorus of what the fuck!   The clip that was playing had not been color corrected properly and let's just say that I did not expect to see a day-glo pink schlong.  It was completely hilarious.

We even managed to get them in, wonder of wonders, we had to trim a bit off of each side to get them in the holes but when we were done they were certainly solid. Now he can lock his house up when he leaves and be fairly certain it will stay that way.

After that I drove to Ft Mills because I didn't feel like getting up at omfg:30 to make the drive from F-town. So here I am, but not for long because tomorrow starts with a 5:30 wake-up call.

139 82 I miss those lazy crazy days when as a family, I mean FAMILY, the whole damn bunch would make the annual trip to Branson, at the old resorts that are no longer there. The fun nights when we all sat around the pool with our respective coolers and drank the night away. We laughed and carried on til 2 or 3 in the morning. Got up the next morning and did it all over again. Made a pot of coffee, ate a little breakfast and took the kids to the pool.Made the decision, that yeah, it's okay to drink a bloody mary at 11:00. Made the trek to Dick's 5 and 10, went to Whitewater and spent the day enjoying our kids having fun. Maybe took in a goofy show, or an Elvis imperonater. Damn... I miss those days. Posted by: jewells45 at April 26, 2013 10:31 PM (u25eL) Holy cow, that sounds like my family now. A few years ago all my uncles and mom went to the beach with a bunch of my cousins, they were up early every morning drinking, and up late drinking. All of my cousins and my sister and I were drinking water. When you walk out of your bedroom at 7am and people are drinking bloody marys and screwdrivers, you are in the presence of pro drinkers.

No, Canada.   When the bad overdubbing started up, there was much Serious You Guys drunken discussion about whether it was an artifact of Canadian language requirements since, from what we could make out, the underlying video was in French.   Then the closed caption discussions started and I nearly fell down the stairs laughing.

198 24 dropping Algebra is a stupid requirement.it just places more burden on colleges to teach more and more highschool-level math.and because students are still taking highschool-level math in college, they aren't ready to start the introductory college-level science classes.hence they don't graduate for 5,6,7 years.WTF Texas, get your head out of your ass, this is stupid" These kids aren't going to college. In Texas there are two paths to graduation. A college readiness track, which requires up to Alg. 2, and a lesser path that used to only require alg 1, but I guess not anymore. College kids will still know algebra.

well FWIW, from someone who is nowhere near Massachusetts: I got a fundraising email from Sullivan (I think) accusing Gomez of being some sort of Obama-loving RINO.  (I have no idea if that is true or not.)  The only way I can figure that I got this email is because I donated to Scott Brown's campaign in January 2011.  So I suppose that means Sullivan has some connection to Scott Brown.

When MS was trying to hire me, I related to one of the guys some performance mod I'd made to some video driver while at IBM and how well it turned out.  As it turned out, HE was the guy who wrote the original video driver and asked me to identify exactly where the mod was.  We pulled the source up from MS's servers and looked at it.

Why are.lefties so obsessed with sexualizing children?

/raises hook

I know, ma'am.

I'll assume you're a Christian and you're familiar with what's worldly.

They expose children to a) take away their innocence, b) and fill their minds and hearts with worldly ideas. This serves to separate YOUR children away from you and your beliefs and bring them closer to the world; closer to the state; and closer to the school.

Children are not mentally equipped to process adult matters. It opens them up to ideas that they simply cannot comprehend. It doesn't just confuse them, it shorts out their brains and forever distorts the matter well into adulthood.

Let me tell you a secret:  9/10 K9's are NOT trained to detect bombs or drugs!  They are highly trained in discipline, but thats usually it.

In other countries, you may have been to airports where EVERY officer has a dog.. its to scare potential drug smugglers.  Most of those dogs couldn't tell a bomb from heroin to shit. 

Most people in our culture think these dogs have super powers..they don't.. Hell, some people even think dogs can detect seizures or 'smell' cancer (they cannot)

District investigation finds DISD principal misused federal funds


DALLAS –– An internal investigation accuses a Dallas Independent School District principal of putting relatives and friends on the payroll and misspending federal funds on items including a cash grab machine for a student award ceremony.

The comprehensive investigation completed by the Dallas ISDÂ’s Office of Professional Responsibility and obtained exclusively by News 8 alleges Roosevelt High School Principal Dr. Leicha Shaver engaged in nepotism and mismanaged thousands of dollars in Texas Title 1 Priority Schools grant funds. That money is awarded to schools that show the greatest need to improve academic performance.

The 44-page report concludes, among other things, that Shaver spent $200,000 of grant funds on a student award ceremony in which children received gift cards, electronics and even got the chance to pocket as much money as they could in a ‘cash grab’ machine.

About the only way math seeped into my brain was through playing in orchestra.  Classical music is very mathematical.  It's the only way I learned fractions and math relationships.  If your child has a hard time with math, perhaps introduce them to classical music, preferably as a participant.

The kid behind the counter, a college student, poured the foamy protein drink in the cup right to the very tippy top and then laughed and said, "Heh, meniscus!"

John, who happened to be of Greek descent raised his eyebrows at him and said, "What did you call me?"

And that's how John and I learned about meniscus.

I was practically living on it for a couple of years and then, on behalf of my poor overworked liver, checked with the doc.  Whoa, celebrex, awesome shit right there, although I only take it "as needed," and due to the fact the $667/mo insurance doesn't cover it, I rarely take it.  Another great, great thing is Voltaren gel.  Wonderful stuff.  Not as wonderful as an unfucked knee, but pretty darn good.  Not many people know about it.  Also, I take wads of the chondroitin/glucosamine/msm.  Notice a real difference if I run out.  Another thing for the Costco list.

359 You don't need math, you need to be able to USE math. There are sooo many libraries of math functionality. I admit that it is better to know what you are doing when you set off to solve a "problem", but all one really needs to know is how to utilize the vast quantity of available solutions. You are not likely to come up against a problem that has  not  already   been solved 10-20 times before. Hating math does not help though.

364 The number you know (12) is 90% of a number you don't know (X). In mathese you write 12 = 0.9 X 0.9 X means the same thing as 90% of X. You need to see X on one side of the equation all by itself. To get that and not violate the equation you divide both sides by 0.9. X is now all by itself and on the other side is 12/0.9 So, to get the number equal to X just take 12 and divide it by 0.9.

383 Alright Horde, I got word from Truman...... Hi guys. 1) Gomez is a creation of the MAGOP who has never won an election. He has not run for anything before except for a single selectman race, which he lost. In 2008 and again in 2012, he was an Obama bundler. Prior to the special election, he wrote a long letter to our Democrat governor, Deval Patrick, asking to be appointed to the position. In the letter, he promised to support Obama on gun control, immigration, and healthcare. 2) Dan Winslow is a very wealthy attorney. He is also a tremendous orator. He was a Mass judge and is currently serving in the legislature in the House. However, he is pro-choice, anti-2A, and pro gay marriage. He is the kind of republican that one would expect from Massachusetts. He is currently polling third. My guess is, he's running just for the fundraising boost. Mike Sullivan was a very conservative state rep. He was also the US attorney who put Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, in prison. He got about 20 illegals working at Logan airport fired. He went after state legislative democrats relentlessly. He was also the head of the ATF under Bush 43. He is pro-life and a real badass. Not sure how he is on guns but he's likely the best. Full disclosure: I'm the town captain for Sullivan because I like him the best and they wanted me.

So? Since he's pretty much guaranteed to be a jailbird for life anyway, if not electric grill fodder?

Getting on a plane is about the last thing you want to do with a blood clot. Especially some 15 hr intercontinental flight.
Flair's brain doesn't think too good anymore."

Flair also almost got cut by WWF in 2002 by getting drunk on a transcontinental flight and strutting around naked and trying to seduce girls a third his age.

Okay, think of this.

Gather around you 5 identical objects.  It can be whatever you wish.  5 beer cans, 5 batteries, 5 pennies, whatever.  It doesn't matter.

Then, remove one of the objects.

You now have 4/5ths of the remaining objects left.  4/5 is 0.80 or 80%.

That is all that a percentage represents.  Some fraction of the original amount that remains.

Plastic Gun - As Purp noted, it would be a great way to acquire a better gun courtesy of an oppressive government.  (Supposedly getting a second gun is why those chechen assholes assassinated the MIT Cop.)  A printed gun is sort of like what the WWII Liberator pistol was supposed to be.  I hope we never need them. 

 

For a "gone to hell" plan pistol like that, it could be helpful if they designed a suppressed version of the pistol with the baffles printed as part of the barrel.   But that would require a lot of additional work and ATF licenses to design and test the pistol in the US.  I do not know how legal possession of the design would be either?

So? Since he's pretty much guaranteed to be a jailbird for life anyway, if not electric grill fodder?

I mean, I get it when you explain it all out, but it doesn't stick for future reference. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at April 26, 2013 11:55 PM (U5uTP) Okay. Look at it this way. 100% of something is simply that something. 100% of 1equals 1. You know that less than 100% of anything is less that all of anything, so since 90 is less than 100, 90% of something should be less than something. Your question was 12 is 90% of what? This means what, aka X, is greater than twelve. So, you should expect the answer to your question to be a number greater than twelve. Now, push that out of your mind and focus on the rules. The number one rule is whatever you do to one side of the equation you must do to the other side or the equation is no longer an equation. In math language your question translates to 12 = 0.9 X 0.9 X means 0.9 times X or 90% of X. So, to find X you have to cancel what is being done to X on the right hand side of the equation. To cancel multiplication you must divide. And to maintain the equation you must divide on both sides by the same thing (0.9). Just follow the rules and then think about whether the answer makes sense, It does make sense because the answer 13.33 is greater than 12.

2002 - 2010: Born Again Christian, preaching the Gospel on and off of work, top of the world, better than "top of the world phase"

520 Adrian Adonis was a trip. He was also in the AWA before going over to WWF. His last schtick there was Adorable Adrian Adonis and Adrian's Flower Shop. Very good character. I remember the lovable loser Scrapiron Gadaski. He was the loser in every match he was ever in. I think I remember seeing him win only once.

Miranda only pertains to what is admissable  in a court of law.  If you do not need an admission of guilt to convict then you can question all day long as long as you don't use the evidence in court.  And with all the video the DOJ has everything they need to convict.  At least that is my understanding.

Hulk as a big man babyface never had to take too much damage -- whereas Flair's job as the loud-mouth jerk was to flop around and get his ass kicked. Posted by: Flatbush Joe at April 27, 2013 12:02 AM (R+6Q+) Also back in the 70's and 80's the NWA was famous for their big names having 60 minute matches. Yes, lots of rest holds, but a lot of bumps. Plus since he was working in Mid Atlantic Championship Wrestling during this time, he would wrestle every night and twice a day on the weekends. Plus all the booze wasn't good for his brain. Did you hear about his son Reid? He died of a heroin overdose about a month ago. Pretty sad. Now his daughter is signed to a developmental contract in the WWE.

I think his wife had a lot to do with him being born again, but she was friends with Sting and had him help her help him. Glad to see Shaun turn his life around and hopefully be a role model for some of the young kids. As much as he is hated by some fans, Cena seems like a great guy to have in the industry. In ring he is meh, but behind the scenes, he is pretty good. I have seen him on business shows talking about the WWE, and he can go from the in front of the wrestling crowd guy to a nice representative of the company in front of business people. And the Make A Wish kids, love that he is the top one in the history of that organization.

595 Tammy, do you have 5 identical objects in front of you?

Okay, now take 1 of those objects and hide it.

You now have only 4 objects in front of you.

The fraction of *remaining* objects is 4/5, or 80%.  That is what the percentage represents.  A fraction corresponding to the number of currently present objects vs. the total number of objects.

So if I said "there are 4 objects present, but that corresponds to only 80% of the total number of objects", then you'd know that there must be 5 objects total, because 80% of 5 equals 4.

That's what a percentage represents.

Okay, so suppose you have 100 bullets, and you use 10 of them taking down a Chechen terrorist.  You have 90 bullets left, or 90% of the original 100 bullets.

Tammy al-Thor 334

here's an easier way

 

divide the smaller number by the larger number

 

29 is 32 % 0f ? = 29 divided by 32 = 0.90625

67 is 29 % of ? = 29 divided by 67 = 0.4328358

609 Hello, Tammy! Yep, math is my subject. I've been wondering what else I would enjoy doing with it if I pursued a master's degree. In my current position, there is no financial incentive to go back to school. 'Course, the other mathematicians around here run circles around me.

Posted by: Mindy at April 26, 2013 08:38 PM (xIq7K)

610 Tammy -al-Thor, Try this. Ninety cents is ninety percent of a dollar. Something, X, is ninety percent of twelve. First learn to translate English into Mathese, then just follow the rules. BTW, a percentage less than 100% is not a negative number. A negative number is less than zero. A percentage less than one hundred percent is between zero and one. A percentage is just another way to say a fraction. Fifty percent is fifty divided by one hundred which is equivalent to one divided by two which is equivalent to one-half.

God is amazing, and it is clear that  there is a plan for this glorious planet.

With that said, the incredible "diversity and complexity that is life," explored fully from the tiniest atom to the largest creature, reveals that there are herbivores and there are predators.

People (and for those of the Horde, it's a harsh truth) who eat meat are doing the right thing. We are the apex predator, and we should eat what sustains us.

Not so much that there WERE parentheses, although that was certainly a strange thing to come across in MATH, but it seemed to me like they were always on the wrong place, like they really ought to have been more like prepositions yet there they were in the middle of the sentence. Or vice versa. I don't even remember what the hell they signify now. 6th grade was probably too young for me to have it.

Literally part of the fascist credo, "nothing outside the state, everything within the state." But that didn't start or end with Italy, and we should all be aware that the leftist distancing themselves from fascism is a propaganda game - WWII started as a war between national socialism and international socialism, and dragged the rest of the world in. Interestingly enough, even fluffy-headed ignorant puppet leftists hold this idea, it expresses itself through various mushy "the world is one" "all humanity working together" kinds of language.

Yeah, it's funny that WCW under Turner got hot by buying WWF guys, like Hulk Hogan, the Macho Man, Diesel, and Razor Ramon, but their best business was done with Sting.

When Sting was boozing and taking pills, the company was heading towards rock bottom but feeling good, but when Sting sobered up, the company sucked.

Ironically, if Sting had joined the WWF after WCW folded, he would've been one of the 5 most famous wrestlers of all time (Rock, Hulk Hogan, Stone Cold Steve Austin, and Macho Man), but he didn't like how "immoral" the WWF was and stayed in the relative shadows.

Shawn, OTOH, decided that he wouldn't work Tuesdays (Bible reflection day in the San Antonio version of a parish [I'm Irish-Catholic, forgive me] and instead decided to work as limited schedule as possible and put the most worthy people over not through reputation but through ring work.

Since he came back, the best matches at the Super Bowl of wrestling:

2003: HBK vs. Chris Jericho
2004: HBK vs. HHH vs. (a child-murderer)
2005: HBK vs. Kurt Angle
2006: HBK vs. Vince McMahon
2007: HBK vs. John Cena
2008: HBK vs. Ric Flair
2009: HBK vs. Undertaker
2010: HBK vs. Undertaker

Make it a habit of leaving and entering your house with one of your guitars.. At first they will always have to ask what guitar that is, and in a short while will just get tired of asking and just give up trying to keep up with what you are doing.

Yes, if you use IE and you're on Windows 7 (anything earlier doesn't have the option and Windows 8 has it as standard) you should go to IE 10.

It enable more of the HTML 5 goodies and has some nifty new features like being able to show two tabs next to each other to take advantage of the shift to wide screen monitors.

Whether anything will run better depends on some variables. The JavaScript engine is a bit faster than IE9's. Sites that make heavy use of the latest HTML 5 tech will have more features supported. AoSHQ isn't going to run any better because it is a friggin' antique.

IE will always trail the others on features and the latest HTML whizbangs because smart enterprise developers have learned to avoid anything that isn't utterly completely final in the official spec. They'll do work with an eye to the future and test it under FF or Chrome but it won't go into the production site until it is safe and has IE support. There are plenty of places outside enterprise apps to play with new toys.

Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at April 27, 2013 12:55 AM (U5uTP) Seven is ninety percent of what number? Just divide seven by point nine. The right answer will be greater than seven.

WCW really started going down when they got rid of all the Mexican and Japanese guys they brought in for the undercards. When those guys opened up a show, it really amped up the arena. Hogan and Bischoff couldn't stand having anyone getting the crowd going other than the NWO. I think Sting had a problem with the WWE direction back in the "Attitude Era". but both Sting and Vince have both said that he would have been in the WWE at some point, but that it never worked out. I think he just liked being where he was and dealing with who/what he knew.

I only got slightly busted during Irene. I had to move all the shit out of the basement and bring it upstairs because of the flooding I knew was going to happen. It was the first time the entire stash was ever moved from its womb to somewhere else. The amps took out the entire dining room and some of the living room.. The guitars took out the rest of the living room, 1 bedroom, and some of the family room.

 There was no fucking way to explain it away. There it was in all its glory making it impossible to walk through most of the house.

Backwards Boy- What kind of bass? 4, 5, 6? My son plays in Boston.

 

I have a Fender Jazz   Plus V 5-string. She's been my baby for about 15   years now. Just took her to the Guitar Factory (a local shop featured  on the Yes  album The Ladder  some years back (a couple of the Yes   guys  have   houses down here) and  had  a new set of light gauge strings put on her.

 

Plays like a dream now.

After failing to learn advanced calculus and diff eqs in math classes taught by ESL professors without English speaking ability, I actually learned them from (American) Physics instructors. 

 

And I see the same thing in my neighbors kids' experiences at school.  The teacher cannot teach, and blames the kids for not learning.  Thank God for Khan academy, and parents willing to teach their kids.

George W. Bush.

Bush's decision after the Janet Jackson nip-slip was one of the worst decisions in American history because, most of all, who gives a fuck?

Are the terrorists going to take their shirts off on national TV? No, and they shouldn't, because they're meuling pussies, as the Boston cocksuckers proved.

Long live ONT music and lesbian antics, but Bush should GFHM ovwr his proof of censorship.

And I am giggling about "you guys" hiding the guitars.

 

I bought hubby a nice guitar - we don't spend the kind of money people in the business spend, but he found a nice Epiphone E-5or 6  I think it was, on Holloman Yard Sales - basically an internet yard sale for the Holloman Air Force Base here that civilians can use too, and he was SO excited about it.

 

 I called the guy selling it, and while I was there, hubby called to try to buy it, and the guy covered for me and told him it was sold.

 

It was hard to hide until Christmas Eve, when we open presents at Dad's house, but I loved the look on his face when he unwrapped the trash bag and saw the guitar case.

I appreciate hubby's music - he just hasn't been in a band for a long time, but it made me happy to see the look on his face! He has practiced with it a bit, but with no gigs in the future, I have to do the "request" thing once and again.

 

Before we were even married, I bought him a lovely Everly Brothers acoustic, but his fingers didn't fit the frets (they were very skinny frets), and we ended up trading that for an Ovation, that he prettied up and plays very nicely.

And oh, look, the usual lurker even has a wresting story to tell.

 

My great-grandpa was a huge wresting fan, way back in the sixties. We used to go down to the farm for last harvest, which was picking the "new potatoes" and the last apples, and like that, and we all complained that we couldn't watch cartoons while the ladies were making breakfast, we had to watch wresting with great-grandpa.

 

When he went in the nursing home, Verne Gagne used to bring a bunch of his compadres with him to visit for greatgrandpas birthday every year, for about 10 years until ggpa passed away at 95.

 

It broke my heart to see that Verne had lost his way when I read that story about him killing someone, because he really did have a big heart when it came to his fans.

Booker T was pushed at the end of WCW, and he and Stevie Ray were the big tag team for about 8 years. Vince never really pushed any non white wrestlers until the Rock came along, and the Central Americans never got a push until Rey and Eddie. Wrestling in the big US promotions was always lily white at the top. Back in WCW, it was more segregated along the weight classes. Jericho, child murderer, Dean Malenko, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio and the other Mexican wrestlers faced each other, not because of anything but the style they wrestled. All those guys could work the fast paced high flying style, while some like Sting, Austin, the Rock, Hogan and others couldn;t work that style to save their life. Hell, Konnan couldn't/wouldn't work that style if he had too, Plus Konnan was the one that was booking all the Mexican guys while they were at WCW. When Konnan got pissed and left, he took the Mexican guys with him since they were all under contract with AAA.

Oh and I am a good German girl, even tho I married a man named Jesse James (not his last name). But my last name is Braun, and his is Wagner, so that is how sometimes it works out.

 

We had a good time at my class reunion one time. They had rented an old train engine and were giving rides up to the open pit mine in Hibbing, MN (home town), and some guy was giving us a hard time, so I told Jesse James that I had the pistol to rob the train in my purse, and the horses were waiting at the turn around point, and we acted all serious in our "western" garb, and he went and sat somewhere else then.

840 alamogordo,

I still have some connections to Las Cruces and the surrounding area, but I live about 400 miles away now.

I predict the next time I'll be in the area is for a funeral.  From the snippets of conversation I've overheard, probably some time in the next six months.

I dropped out of algebra 2 after struggling with algebra for a year. My algebra 1 teacher was a stick in the mud, he had the personality of a slug, and made the class soooo frigging boring. I think I mastered sleeping with my eyes open during his class.

yeah well, truthfully,  the wife inherited a fully equipped and functional retard metal guitarist, so I came with a ton of stuff to start with. Its not hard to hide stuff in plain sight for me. I DO leave the house with a few guitar cases at least 4-5 times a week, so my methods of blending in the new ones among the usual traffic is a tried and true method.

It has a high rate of success. My friends have adopted these methods. Of course there will be a day when the wives band together and chase me with torches and pitchforks. lol

I went to buy a new hard drive today so I could build a FreeNAS box with mirrored disks.  She Who Must Be Obeyed had accompanied me on this trip.  SWMBO looked at the what I wanted, then start looking around and said, "this is better".  It cost 80 bucks more, but she got what she wanted.

868 I'm pretty well set for network storage. 9 TB between 2 NAS devices and a USB port on the router. (Although I do have a pair of 2 TB USB 2.0 drives I got for cheap I might pull out of the enclosures if another NAS box comes along for cheap.) My next project is an HTPC. I have the case to house a mini-ITX board, optical drive, SSD, and platter hard drive from Lian-Li. It's pretty tiny without requiring laptop parts for the optical drive and such.

I'm waiting to see what will be available in that motherboard size for Haswell in June. Since it'll use a BGA chip factory installed on the board, I should be able to get it with the GT3e video, to get a pretty good balance between low power and high performance. I may just go with the SSD alone to keep heat down and add a platter drive later if if I feel the need but I plan to use the network storage for big video file and just have the OS and apps on the SSD. The optical will be a Blu-ray reader, although I have an external USB 3.0 Blu-ray burner I'll use until a good deal comes along. (The motherboard/CPU will likely be much costlier than I usually go for and require some recovery time.)

Then I'll finally have a box for the entertainment center that simply plays EVERYTHING.

I do have another project I'm doing on the cheap. Newegg had a bunch of Free After Rebate deals the other day, including a case, H61 LGA1155 motherboard, and 480W PSU. Add a low end Ivy Bridge CPU without video, use the Nvidia 210 board I got for like $2 a while back, add some RAM and a cheap hard drive and DVD burner, and that should make a decent little machine for well under $200. Something to have for experiments with weird distros or as a loaner.

It shuts down every night at 1:30AM for some asinine reason, so tonight I turn it on a DVR'd show at about 1:28 and two minutes later a box comes up wanting to know if "I mind" that it shuts down now. Would I have just started watching something if I wanted it to shut down? And it doesn't just reboot, after the shutdown and come back up where it left off, you have to get the damn remote, and turn it back on.

Technically, I have a TiVo with cable card. But these days it's used solely by my mother and sister. My mother has difficulty staying awake through an entire hour long TV show, so she records EVERYTHING. The TiVo is constantly erasing old stuff she hasn't watched yet to make room for new stuff. So I just leave it to her. If I ever find a good deal on the WD external drive for the TiVo I'll add that but I have no doubt Mom will soon use all of that capacity as well.

I've given up on downloading stuff for her because she just can't wrap her head around the idea of having it any time she likes. She understands intellectually but her mind set always reverts to the bulk of her life when you adhered to the broadcasters' schedule. So the mound of DVDs I've made for her gather dust while she watches the same show in syndication, commercials and all.

Fortunately, there isn't that much on these days I feel any compulsion to keep up with. I'd rather wait for the season to conclude and torrent the whole lot. I've got a few thousand hours of material saved up. If the cable died and I still had electricity in the house, I'd be set for a good long time.

Perhaps it would be different if I was working in an office every day and needed to make conversation but I'm not and I don't.

904 The one good thing about Dish/Hopper is the stock capacity. It held about 800 programs and movies (if memory serves) before hitting capacity. I still miss the Tivo though. I had bought an image of the OS for $20 and installed it onto a 1TB drive on my Tivo II series and it would hold pretty much months of programming. Series III had Netflix et.al. built in, something Dish will never have apparently.

907 Tap. Tap. I checked in several hours ago.Then my pal from South Carolina who makes money out of thin air called, so I have missed 99% of the brilliance that is the ONT.

Not that anybody cares, but I went to physical therapy today. Got my arm curls up to three reps of 20 at 8 pounds. Straight arm up to five pounds for 20 seconds x three reps. Next week weights go up to ten and eight pounds, respectively. Fifteen minutes on the eliptical. Ten minutes of leg lifts and ankle lifts. Only had to rest twice for albuteral puffs to counter COPD reactions.

Overall, I am making good progress from nearly dead to almost undead. I am grateful for whatever extra time these exertions add to my time on the right side of the grass.

In the spirit of the joyous company here at the HQ, I am celebrating with four fingers of cheap Canadian stilled swill. Not bad. Not bad at all.

922 Late to the party, but in regards to the “Where were the dogs?” questions… BPD does have 20 duel-certified patrol dogs (http://www.bpdnews.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/K9COPMag_BostonPD.pdf), but it is unknown if any are competent & certified in actual “tracking”. Tracking is often used as a generic term (even by some handlers) for a dog using his nose to locate a target, but it is a very specific term and specific ability. All patrol dogs can “scout”, which is picking up a target through sight, sound or airborne scent (a subject hiding in a KNOWN and specific building or field). However, “tracking” a suspect (ground scent) from a known location to an unknown location (think of bloodhounds in every prison-break movie you’ve ever seen) is a very specific ability that not all police and military patrol dogs are capable of performing – and it requires extensive training. I’d also add, even if the BPD does have tracking dogs, the cops on scene may have decided there was no time to wait for the K9 unit to arrive (the cops did not know the suspect had ‘holed-up’). …or they may have been a little overzealous and wanted to be a part of the “action” (I’m sure they were a little embarrassed and pissed about what had just happened in their city). Not excusing any actions in this case…just providing info.

RPN (Reverse Polish Notation) is the only way to go with a hand-held calculator.  I'm so grateful that my Physics I prof introduced me to RPN when I decided to go back to school to get my BSME.  That technique makes is so much easier to solve equations with multiple operations.

When I tutored physics, most of the students would try to blast through an equation as one algebraic string with nested parenthesis -- which resulted in errors most of the time.  Whenever I saw the rare student whip out their Hewlett Packard calculator (those are the only one's made expressly for RPN), it was like a secret handshake!

Oops, sorry for the "all-bold," I forgot to close with the and .

It's been a long time since I posted at the HQ although I still lurk a bit.  Finally getting a job certainly cuts into the approved Moron lifestyle.

932 Plastic guns.... Anyone play the orignal version of the RPG "Cyberpunk" in the early 1990s? One of the items in the game were "Polymer One-shots" disposable plastic guns, sealed and pre-loaded with ammo, good for a few shots, and then you toss it in the trash.
