quote:If you had an accident like the one I think your describing, There wouldn't be much of the operator to put in prison :-) On a more serious note at least there is some progress in the United States. Hybrid fuel cell cars have been available to the public now for at least two years. It is a start no matter how small. LOL......I am not referring to a HINDENBURG type accident; though, it would be intelligent to bury your hydrogen storage tanks,(SAFTY is an issue when dealing with hydrogen, Ill grant you that!) I was merely referring to the fact, that ANY attention brought to one who utilized the SCIENCE, in any way, would bring charges against the individual, which would ultimately land them in prison. And yes, the hybrid fuel cell used in cars, utilizes the use of hydrogen, but in a VERY small way. Still: the regulation, is more for CONTROL, than for the purpose of safety. When something is regulated, it removes the cost effectiveness of the science. And also reinforces the REALITY, that we are not TRUELY a FREE people. Personally, this DISGUST me, but who am I ?(answer: "just an American who feels SCIENCE should NOT be owned and controlled by ANY Government, which proclaims its people to be FREE.)

poor resnig.....NOT even worth the price of a bullet!

quote: Or find other sources for it for example solar, wind, geothermal and hydro. That would be a good idea, except, most local communities(county and state incl.) have regulated such home brew conversions, to the point of ridiculousness. for example: where I live, the permits for windmills are NOT allowed. Allowable Towers are extremely limited in height, anyway. Every running waterway within the U.S. is regulated to prevent individuals from installing a hydro-electric generation device of any kind. Thermal power would be useful in hawaii or alaska, near active volcano vents, or lava flows...but again I dont believe it would be permitted. One must consider the AMERICAN governments persistance in protecting us from ourselves by making all such geographical locations: "GOVERNMENT PROTECTED LANDS" which do NOT allow any civilian occupation. This only leaves solar power. The expense involved for, and the limited life of, solar cell panals, for the electricity provided, makes it un-economical. Home built hydrogen defusion is strictly illegal for ANY American civilian. Commercial permits are required for hydrogen storage(extremely expensive regulatory proceedure) I have Freely given here: a way for anyone in the world, to produce their own electricity, through the use of a well designed hydrogen defuser. (Seperation of water, into the two very volitile components is common knowledge.) Use of the hydrogen to further drive steam driven generators would be the ideal. One would have to be VERY VERY discrete in their operation of such a system. One small accident would probably put the operator in prison for life..at least..in the UNITED STATES!!(ALL HEIL TO THE ENERGY TYCOON:"GEORGE W BUSH"!!)

you GOTTA reward yourself....ONCE... in a while, anyway!!!

Ill stick to the PC and its versatility, untill they get a gig hard drive into the consoles.(just me and my opinion)

My advice,(freely given ) is to totally ignore him, he will eventually loose intrest. As long as he gets ANY response at all, he has achieved his goal. 1). attention. 2). YOUR attention. 3). his 5 seconds of fame. Playing along, with legal threats, posting his responses and such, only serves to encourage; as the end result, merely serves to make him feel important. There is NO real legal remedy worth the headache, unless you feel a threatening letter from an attorney(couple hundred dollars) would spook him into oblivion. He, most likely, cannot afford an attorney, and MOST likely does not even have one. It comes down to: YOUR CALL, SC. (this thread HAS been amusing though!! ) [ 06-04-2004, 05:40 PM: Message edited by: street ]

All the headache, and what would one get? a computer?, or an UN-enforceable judgement?. No point, really. I think the proper solution has been implimented, but again...who am I?

well, hopefully his luck holds out. when I was in my early 20's, I did lineman work.(cleaning the insulators on high power feed lines coming in and out of substations. We had one set of lines(at the top) which carried 138000 volts. I used an insulated bucket truck and high pressure air run through a hopper full of powdered limestone, to clean the dirt and grime off the insulators.(to avert archs to ground) The non-conductive wand I used to spray the insulators was about 15' long. One morning, we dicided to start early, and my ground man had forgotten to blow out the wand. The condensation from the night before, was still inside the wand. The arch which blew the wand apart, and shorted the 138000 volt line direct to ground, was enormous. The voltage followed the dew, which had condensated around the fibre glass boom of the bucket truck, down to the out riggers. It blew ALL 10 radial tires on the truck, fried all the electrical systems in the truck. and knocked the ground man about 30' away from the truck. both my arms felt like they had been hit with a baseball bat. I sit down in the bucket, with no use of my arms, and could do nothing but wait for some help to arrive. I knew it would, as it blew the trips. They usually blow after their 3rd attempt to reset. Each reset was another explosion just a few feet away from me. The isulators had also disintergrated, and the line was laying directly on a ground cable, just below the suspension tower. I was fortunate, and the high voltage had used the skin effect in its transfer from my insulated gloves to my elbows, which was resting on the edge of the fiberglass bucket. The ground man survived. He had been leaning with one hand on the truck, when the accident had occured. It had blown his boots off. the voltage had gone through his right arm, and out his feet. The doctors told us, when he was sitting in his bed bragging how he cheated death, on the second day, that his chances of survival were not so good. two days later, they had to amputate his hand. two more days went by, and they had to amputate his feet. he survived another week before the gangrene had settled in his abdomine, and he died from uncontrollable infections, due to the dying tissue.

NOT a smart man!! another interesting thing with HIGH voltage contact: If one does survive the actual incident..There is a very high probability that several days following the event, tissue, which was subjected to the voltage, begins to die; and gangrene is the ultimate reason for death. It would be interesting to see a report of this mans condition, in a about week....just to see if he has gone through any amputations..or whatever.

quote:"Where were the missiles? We found them," another senior administration official told Insight. makes me wonder what Official are they quoting here??? Definately a partisen paper...INSIGHT? ok..mediocre biased press at best. I assure you. If you have ever read their paper, it would be obvious. quote: But another reason for the media silence may stem from the seemingly undramatic nature of the "finds" Hanson and others have described. The materials that constitute Saddam's chemical-weapons "stockpiles" look an awful lot like pesticides, I like the way they twist facts to mean what they want them to mean. Who would have believed ANOTHER country, besides the U.S.A., would have commercial and agricultural, chemicals and pesticides? quote: Pesticides are the key elements in the chemical-agent arena," Hanson says. "In fact, the general pesticide chemical formula (organophosphate) is the 'grandfather' of modern-day nerve agents." No! REALLY?.....Even HERE , they name the OLD FASHION pestiside. One would EXPECT a 3rd world country to be using. QUITE a STRETCH to interpret this as WMD's quote:Caches of "commercial and agricultural" chemicals don't match the expectation of "stockpiles" of chemical weapons. But, in fact, that is precisely what they are. "At a very minimum," Hanson tells Insight, "they were storing the precursors to restart a chemical-warfare program very quickly." Yeah RIGHT!!! So, by their definition, I have WMDs stored in my shed, and out in my BARN!!! WOW, you had better turn me into the SS, or the Fatherland's friendly CESTAPO..err ..BUSH's HOME LAND SECURITY. I MUST be a threat to the WHOLE WORLD. duh! GEESE!! I would be more leary, in what I concluded as FACTS and EVIDENCE!...The WEB is FULL of good ole fashioned YELLOW Journalism and unverifiable opinion's presented as TRUTH.

Yes, those TWO shells PROVE, that which we always knew: There were some gas shells in the old regieme's "OLD arsenal".(explains all the gas mask EVERY country has as part of their defense measures. Big Deal! These shells are NOT what is referred to as "WMD". Not unless the definition has had radical overhaul, in the last 6 months. I would contend, those old out-dated, and mis-placed shells would NEVER have become an issue, if we had not tore the shit out of that country. yeah buddie, THOSE shells were a threat to the UNITED STATES, BRITIAN, and the REST of the world. KILL em , KILL em ALL....(what a mentality for a president to impart upon his people!!) I mean, come on people!! We are talking about a COUNTRY here. Not some gang hiding in the Bronc's of NEW YORK.

quote:Don't get me wrong, my first impressions of it being crap are only in regards to it being the same re-gurgitated standard fps fare. Now, thats not a bad thing and there are those it was designed for. I guess I must be getting older, as such, my taste in games keeps evolving. I have always been a fan of the UT games, but from what I've seen of this, I'm only going to hope that Unreal2 brings in the engaging single player game that the original was notorious for. I bought unreal2 a couple days ago, and have finished it(2 nights of playing), and moved on. I bought it because of the above post. I liked the interior of their ship , well enough, but once you have finished the game..... its over. This is the one thing which has put the whole battle cruiser series light years ahead of the rest.(IMHO)

you guys, wont let me win on ANYTHING!

I can relate, DeOsprey.....OH NO!!! And I told my shrink, I was'nt an addict!!! so? now, I know I lied. what can I say?

quote:Damn, you have to get me started again . Have you ever seen the molecular world. There's more wars going on there in a day than humans have been involved with in a thousand years or more. The war of survival. In that respect, humans are downright peaceful. That was purely based on: "Me NOT getting older, and EVERYONE ELSE getting younger". I would still be here, and their wars would be just as insignificant to me, as the molecular battles are at present. Of no concern to ME personally.

That entire post is so true to mark, in it's observation. (street talking to himself):" And I thought I was the ONLY one who really UNDERSTOOD!"

I wish that were the case,Lost. Then all we would have to do is sit back and wait, and everyone would start reverting back to their base molecular beginnings. War would END, and this whole issue could disssssolve!! LOL

I will believe it, when I see it. The white house admits, that this threat is continuous and has not changed, but just want to be safe; because, of all the big events coming up. They realize, their only chance to increase the Bush ratings, in the poles, is to instigate more TERROR,within the minds of Americans.(i.e. To give the Group Hysteria, a shot in the arm)
