Well, neutron radiation, by and large, only comes from the decay of radioactive materials. A neutron sensor can be used to detect radioactive materials even where things like alpha, beta and gamma ray particles are effectively blocked (as in a lead box). But, a neutron sensor contains slow...

"Free to live my life as I please and allow all others the same. I bother no one and no one should bother me." You don't really mean that. Sounds good and all that, which makes it hypocritically ingenuous, for you will, absolutely, tell others how to live their life if theirs doesn't please...

The great democracies of history have all lasted an average of about 200 years. The clock is ticking....

""I'll follow the rest of the group (or some larger portion thereof) ..... because that is likely to be the safe thing to do" I disagree. In a country where there is a secret ballot, "safe", in any connotation you wish to apply, doesn't enter into it. You call it "conventional wisdom", I call...

Link, please. :)

Too funny. Can you imagine the headlines if that letter had gone out to the Panamanian Ambassador, instead? <giggle>

Why not get the Mercedes grille and conversion, since that's what it is in the first place? ;)

He went on to say, "He’s gonna have to make some really tough - I don’t know what the decision’s gonna be, but I promise you it will occur. As a student of history and having served with seven presidents, I guarantee you it’s gonna happen.” It was in the context that every president gets...

For the same reason that there is more than one Christian denomination, or for that matter, more than one religion. People have a need to have their thoughts and feelings validated by others. There is safety in numbers. The more people who also think like me, the more likely it is that I'm...

Well, keeping in mind that it was Bill Clinton that set us up for this mess (Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending - New York Times) I don't know if you can really lay it all on Bush. Well, I do know - you can't. At least not legitimately. Yet you do, anyway. That you're so blinded by...

See? That's funny. And it's funny because it's the truth.

The way I read it was, he doesn't necessarily think it's "necessary" to get into it with a lot of people on here, but he knows himself well enough, and he knows the site well enough after lurking here, that if he did post more on here, his opinions would likely be such that he'd get into it with...

Well, I was referring to the road test portions of the CDL B. Then again, I have never taken the road test for anything other than a Class C, so I'm not 100% positive what all they do on a CDL B road test. I'm about 99% sure, tho. ;)

I think "vice" is mangledeese conglomeration of "visa versa" and "versus" where just versus could have been used (even though versus is grammatically incorrect), and "knobs" is 'I'm so cool 'cause I use neat keen supercool and groovy metaphors' for "tires" ('cause if you're a giant, the wheels...

The CDL test is the CDL test. The Class is the vehicle type. Meaning, it's the same test for Class A, B and C. The only difference in the tests are that applicants for a Class A must answer an additional 20 questions (I think it's 20) on Combination Vehicles, and applicants driving vehicles with...

True. Everyone has the right to be a jerk, whether they admit they are a jerk or not. Yes, it does, with the keys to that definition being "without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge." Yet I and my others have seen foreigners, who are unfamiliar, ignorant, or even disrespectful of local...

"Unfortunately, Obama is not a “natural born” citizen, nor is he a “naturalized” citizen." OMG, Phil Berg is a whiny little goober. Let...it...go. Last time I checked, and please correct me if I'm wrong, at the time that Obama was born in Hawaii, Hawaii was, and still is to my knowledge, one of...

You can do one or the other, not both. :D

I have an aunt that is so far left that she makes Obama look like Pat Buchanan. She recently went on a rather nasty tirade about how there are people who will not vote for Obama simply because he is black. After she finished, I asked if she wad just as mad at those people who will vote for Obama...

That's the most brilliant typo I have ever seen. It dwarfs the turbine incident. :D
