Isaac, enough with the childish thinly-veiled penile references. We all get it.

SpaceX is a private organization, not a government organization like NASA.

You'll get the hang of it.

At the very least, you'll be able to do more than I've been able to over the last few months.

Thank you for being willing to jump into the fray.

...aaaaaand we're done.

If you guys can't post dialogue without taking personal shots, don't post at all.

Foil

Is there a point here, or is this pic just political humor that belongs in the Café?

Foil

He has a point. If you're going to post a link in E&C, it needs to come with notes or some other form of starting discussion.

So if you have a point about the link, post it.

...off to the Café.

Foil

If you want to start an E&C topic, it requires some commentary.

If you just want to post a cartoon... it's off to the Café.

Foil

Off to the Café...

Foil

...and we're done.

Foil

Get back to the topic, folks, and drop the international smack-talk.

Foil

If you want to discuss a particular conspiracy theory, add some thoughts about it to kick off the dialogue. Posting a video alone is not a topic.

Foil

Come back when you all can have a legitimate discussion.

The only "assimilation" happening is one way...that of western civilization submitting to islam. I'm confused here. How can you claim this, after posting an image of a Muslim woman not only competing in an athletic event (which in many cases is seen as contrary to Islamic principles), but a ...

Be careful of "trend-chasing" or "bounce-chasing" when touting results soon after conventions. (That goes for both woody and slick.) FiveThirtyEight has a pretty good discussion about models, and whether they should aggressively follow trends or not in this recent article . http://i0.wp.com ...

Foil, Holy crap! I've got 46.1 megs of cbs.persist.log files. I'll have to read your link a little bit more and see if I can deal with them. My little server at home went from 58G free space to 72G free w/ some elbow grease :) CBS files: stop the "Windows Modules Installer" service, delete the cbs ...

I have seen some outrageous numbers here (eg. 20GB System queued Windows Error Reporting, 2+GB Windows Update Cleanup), cleaning these out seemed to help speeding up update checks. This. I was seeing some massive disk usage upon bootup with some error logs [details] . Cleaning those up helped ...

My wife's car stereo was showing the same symptoms about a month ago. Particularly in heat, the audio would just cut out after about 30 seconds.

I came to the conclusion that something in the internal amplifier circuitry was going bad... and just had to replace it (I found a great deal on a refurb).

I'm not sure the bandwidth on my server will suffice for more than 6-8 players or so on a Friday night, when we have other activity on that same connection, which uses an old DOCSIS 2 modem.

I'd suggest using Krom's server, if it's running okay, and just use mine as a backup.

Yes, it is.

For those who want to play along, feel free to use a translator.

[Note: I'm moving this to the Café, as it's a "fun" thread, not E&C discussion.

Foil

If you guys want to get back to the topic, do it without all the nation-smack-talk, bear-poking, and other thread-debris.

Foil

Nah, I'll just end this one now.

[If you boys want to actually debate the original topic instead of throwing crap at each other, feel free.]

Foil

If this is going to evoke some discussion about international relations, journalistic bias, submarine propulsion technology or something else worthwhile, carry on.

If this is only going to be more nation-smack-talk, then drop it.

Extremely minor issue:

Hey! I'm originally from Oklahoma! I resent that... actually, no, you're probably right...

(With that said, the Oklahoma primaries voted for Bernie and Rubio, so at least they're not supporting the trainwreck we currently have.)

sigma, this forum is hosted in the US. There's no danger of censorship.

Foil

Yep, we're done here.

[Feel free to start another thread on the topic, without the pot-shots.]

Foil

Taking personal shots at each other is a quick way to end threads.

[ There's a valid topic in here amongst the crap. I suggest either discussing it in a new thread, or not posting. ]

It was animated - more annoying than amusing.

"Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence." Given that MS has denied that users are forced to upgrade, I'm going to have to lean towards incompetence (because upgrade-without-a-choice events are happening). It's still a fiasco. ^^^^ This. It's anecdotal, but my ...

Foil

At the risk of being given my own humorous "custom" title:

Krom, if you're going to do this for one "extremely-polarized E&C regular", you should do it for all of them.

(I hope this one doesn't last long; the animation is really annoying...)

...I would be interested to know why insurance is considered a model of socialism, using a simple definition.

So you're dismissing the ideas proposed by the paper you cited for support a page or so ago?

I don't follow your logic here.

Okay, guys, drop the pot-shots and stick to the topic. ---- Here's the problem, woodchip. Neither one of the quotes from the article support your premise that "earth was warming before there ever was a increase in CO2" . "We find no significant asynchrony..." contradicts your statement, and ...

Drop the international smack-talk and get back to the topic, folks.
