  1. It's an arbitrary time limit. Was set to 60 minutes, I have just adjusted it to 10 minutes. I hope that helps. As long as the flood control is not abused, we can keep it low.

  2. A short story in Robert A. Heinlein's future history compendium of short stories. Robert takes two concepts of modern day physics and turns them into the basis for a plausible future. 1. There exists an electronic device called a TDR (time domain reflectometer) with which one can locate a break or an open circuit within several miles of wiring (for example, the wiring harness of a modern jet fighter). It's not magic, but it works very well. 2. In space-time diagrams, the three spatial dimensions are reduced to one along a horizontal, and time is a vertical axis. Penrose diagrams are an example, and they can demonstrate why time has a direction, how time becomes space, and other nifty things. The lines of an object as it progresses through spacetime are called 'world lines' Consider that your birth was a point in spacetime that began your world line. As you grow, that point starts to become wider and begins to travel (either through space, time or both). Your death marks the end point of your world line, and your entire existence then looks like a worm (whose length is determined by your age at death) Now for the money shot; if you are a conducting point in spacetime, there's a way to find the terminus of your world line?

  3. Taking a break while looking around here. My Carver CT-7 going through the M1.5t to supply from (whatever in the mood for listening) Akai 10" Reel to Reel , B&O RX 2, NAD 5240, Yamaha CDC 655 along with several DBX pieces all going through a pair of Belle's to my ears. So as time moves on I will have questions on equipment.

  6. If I respond to two or more posts within a certain timeframe, they get merged; is there a way to prevent this other than waiting a half an hour between posts?

  7. I heard this joke a little differently: Calling illegal aliens "undocumented immigrants" is like calling drug dealers "unlicensed pharmacists"

  8. Job interview Reaching the end of a job interview, the Human Resources Person asked the young Engineer fresh out of MIT, “And what starting salary were you looking for?” The Engineer said, “In the neighborhood of $75,000 a year, depending on the benefit’s package.” The HR Person said, “Well, what would you say to a package of 5-weeks vacation, 14 paid holidays, full medical and dental, company matching retirement fund to 50% of salary, and a company car leased every 2 years – say, a red Corvette?” The Engineer sat up straight and said, “Wow!!! Are you kidding?” And the HR Person said, “Certainly, …but you started it.”

  9. A farmer buys a rooster to service his 200 hens. When he gets the rooster into the barnyard, he tells him, "Randy, I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to service here, and you cost me a lot of money. Have fun, but take your time." The farmer points him toward the henhouse and the rooster takes off like a shot. WHAM! Randy nails every hen in the henhouse, three or four times. Randy runs out and sees a flock of geese down by the lake. WHAM! He nails all the geese. Randy runs to the pigpen, the cow pasture -- soon, he's been on every animal on the farm. The farmer is distraught, worried that his expensive rooster won't even last the day. Sure enough, the farmer wakes up the next morning to find Randy laid out flat in the middle of the yard, buzzards circling overhead. The sad farmer shakes his head and says, "Oh, Randy, I told you to pace yourself." Randy opens one eye, winks, and nods towards the sky, "Shhh, they're getting closer."
