As you may have guessed Dave I know little to nothing about statistics. Thank you for the explanation. I'm glad it was only Tea that I was teasing and not Tony. :mrgrn: (Mums the word Tea).

Good Lord! Don't tell me that Tannin is relying on his own failure rates to make decisions as to what Hard Drives he sells! How unscientific can you get? He might as well be relying on SR's Reliability survey. :)

If ever there was a reason not to vote for John Kerry - its.fubar is it.

Ditto.

Congratulations Pradeep. Sorry to hear about the truck.

The answer is simple - Shop at the A&P.

That's it? That's all you have to say? Another "no" and an insinuation that I'm dumb? LOL

Wrong. The rules the Florida Supreme Court should have followed are in the U.S. Constitution. I pointed out the specific rule in the Constitution that they should have followed. Wrong. I very clearly explained exactly how the Fourteenth Amendment applied and how it made clear what should be...

sechs, This is a discussion. It is not supposed to be a one sided conversion where you ask all the questions and I answer them. No one is in "charge" per se. I was very patient with your terse replies and your refusal to respond to the questions which I put to you. My questions were sincere...

You could have simply made this point earlier if that's what you meant and saved us both a lot of trouble. In fact I specifically asked you if that was what you meant and you never answered. Why not? Game playing were we? BTW - If the voters had followed the instructions on how to vote there...

LOL Good luck and don't forget which side of the road to drive on. :)

Not to bore everyone to death but I have to take issue with you on this. First let me re-quote a portion of the same passage above but without editing out a key portion of it which is crucial imho in understanding why the Court decided to reverse the the Fl. Supreme Court; As I read that, the...

Sounds good to me.

Is the the following from their decision where you get the above from? Doesn't the highlighted text refer to Justice Breyer's proposed remedy only and is not the grounds on which the Court based their decision?

FWIW "Bitch" works very nicely for Ex-wives as well. :)

Hmm... I thought that the time constraint was one not a Constitutional one per se but rather a result of the six day rule which was established by Title 3, Chapter 1, Section 5 of the U.S.C.? No? As for the Supreme Court's decision and my statement that the Court had found the Florida...

I have highlighted the applicable text as regards the Supreme Court's decision. Implicit in this text is the "rule" that - No State may deny any person within it's juristiction the equal protection of the laws. The Supreme Court in it's decision found that; In other words not only must every...

Note the word "I" in my statement sechs. I was only speaking for myself when I said they were inseparable. I did not say that the questions forced one to "change" their beliefs. Nor do I think that the test contains a hidden agenda of some sort. I used the words "compromise" and "hedge"...

Are you talking about the lack of uniform rules for ascertaining a voters intent when the ballot cannot be clearly read? If so, to that extent your I agree that your original statement is valid, I concede the point - and I retract my objection to it. On the other hand if you are suggesting...

Actually I believe that the two are inseperable because imo that which serves one - serves the other. If you have to compromise or hedge on your beliefs to answer the questions then how accurate is the test result going to be?

I could but I don't think that we have enough storage space on the server for me to post the Florida State Consitution, the entire Florida Judicial code, the U.S. Constitution and the U.S. Judicial code. Every step of the way there were rules and regulations dictating what should be done, when...

<rant> When you have folks like this writing the questions; You end up with questions like this; This question (given that one has only the choice of either agreeing or disagreeing with it) completely ignores the possibility that economic globalization can or will serve both the best...

I didn't get past the first page. Too many questions are of the - "Do you still beat your wife?" - sort with only "Yes" or "No" being offered as possible answers.

Actually there were appropriate rules. The problem was that the Florida Supreme court refused to followed them.

How about they just interpret the Consitution as they did in 2000?

What's up with this poll? Are we going to implement this?

Well as I read the article what is in question is not whether Blair said Iraq had WMD, but whether they had them such that they could deploy them in 45 minutes. I don't find the fact that Rumsfeld cannot recall that specific statement having been made by Blair to very significant. He's not...

Just think it as the day that Al Copone let loose with his infamous massacre in Chicago.

Based on the reaction of the media and public opinion I would say that right now it appears that Kerry poses the biggest threat. But all of the hoopla over him may only be a honey-moon period he's going through - too soon to tell. Kerry has a long history of supporting issues from left of...

It should be an interesting summer & fall this year if John Forbes Kerry wins the Democratic nomination. The only thing Kerry has going for him imho is his war record which is admirable. Everything else that he's done since coming home from Nam is a negative campaign commercial just waiting to...

It's global warming. The equatorial regions have heated up so much they're sucking all the cold air from the poles toward the equator. :eekers:

Thanks! It's almost over though - shoot.

I can't find it either. The last one I knew of was on Friday (?) last week and that was televised. They toned down the attacks on one and other it that debate. How about this one? Are they attacking Kerry?

I suspect you're right. Edwards could come on strong next tuesday. Kerry is a decent man and has his good points (war hero) but the baggage he carries from his anti-war days and his voting record in the Senate will catch up with him in the general election if he gets that far.

Not here in Florida. Do you get the lake effect where you are?

I use Nero 5.5 without any problems.

Is it time to stick a folk in Dean?

Thanks Tim. I do a lot of video encoding as a hobby of sorts and with the right software it works very well. I felt a bit guilty when I bought it for having spent so much to build a system I really didn't need. But now that I had it for two years without having to upgrade, the life cycle cost...

Union? If so you're in the money now. I've heard that dock workers in California make over 100K a year.

Congratulations DB!

This looks like a job for Duck Doders from the 24th 1/2 century! :)

What a sad state of affairs! How are these poor kids ever going to compete in the real world? And it's everywhere not just New York. Shame on us as a nation for what we are doing to these children.
