a little help[edit]
Could you check this out for me, see if it makes sense, etc? Thanks, --PalMD-yada yada 15:47, 4 June 2007 (CDT)
- It works well as it is...however; for my tastes it strikes me as a bit nit-picky. The original article wasn't very good? So what? Big deal, it's a wiki article they're supposed to be rough starting out...to get a real sense of what you want to do here I'd suggest a "real" definition of theory to contrast these two efforts showing that while improvements have been made the article is still not up to snuff. (Though the newer version might be okay for grade school aged homeschoolers.)~~ C®acker 16:04, 4 June 2007 (CDT)

TK?[edit]
I take umbrage at that sirrah, and will ask you to step outside and settle it like a man. Haddocks at thirty paces. My seconds will contact yours.
- Excuse me?
- If you are challenging me I do believe it is I who has the right to choose the weapons. But as I just happen to have a 15kg Haddock in the freezer, your terms are acceptable, once it is thawed, (wouldn't be sporting if it were still frozen, don't you know?). Shall we take a brandy or two before the event? But these are matters for our seconds to decide! My seconds is one DocSock, who is worthless as a Doctor, (he doesn't even use leeches, much), but broils the best goat one could ever hope to taste. I look forward to bludgeoning your brains out. My only regret is that you do not appear to be, (in fact) TK, otherwise I'd be killing two birds and all that. ~~ CЯacke® 10:17, 16 June 2007 (CDT)

- No idea what it is, but seems to refer to something near Pittsburgh, judging from the lat. and long. --AKjeldsenGodspeed! 11:36, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
- Well, yeah, it is. The main part is the pressure/temperature (the prssure corresponds to some degree with the altitude but it varies somewhat), the red line is the actual temp and the green line is the dew point, but I do not know what the graphs are behind these lines...I'm an adept autodidact and usually pick these things up rather quickly but this one has me perplexed. And though I can find these all over the web, I cannot find a site on HOW to interpet them. Thanks. CЯacke® 11:42, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
- It's from a radiosonde instrument intended to be carried by a balloon up through the atmosphere, equipped with sensors to measure one or several meteorological variables (pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.), and provided with a radio transmitter for sending this information to the observing station.
I think the radar plot in the top left shows how the balloon has moved horizontally relative to its release point. WP has a description of the main plot [1] and there are links to similar plots. ɱ@δ ɱ!ɳHello?/I did this! 12:07, 20 June 2007 (CDT)
- Yes, thank you, (the resultant data from the radiosonde is called a rawinsonde). Thank you for the link it has clear things up nicely for me. My problem was I saw bunches of lines which made me think there should be bunches of data "hidden" in plain sight, when, in fact, the lines are for producing a number which is then used to create another plot for another weather parameter. IOW, I had successfully figured out what the thing meant but did not recognize that fact. CЯacke® 18:44, 20 June 2007 (CDT)

While I am somewhat conversant with maths they lost me when they couldn't explain that x didn't have to be a number, and solving for x didn't seem like much of an accomplishment if the (correct) answer was ab3.187, simply beause one still didn't know what ab3.187 was other than just x.

- If the range blocker is on my team, then he should get as many points as possible. If not, then no. That wouldn't be fair! Bohdan 21:26, 17 July 2007 (CDT)
- From a seekrit page:
- ==Karajou blocks==
With the recent range blocks, Karajou blocked 655,360 IP's, each an independent block, for a total of 1,310,720 points. I don't think we should count the range blocks as two points, but we certainly can't give then 1,310,720 points, can we? Unfortunately, that makes the most sense... Judge name redacted 17:01, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
- We should measure on effort. We should give him two points for each time he hit the button. Judge name redacted 19:31, 17 July 2007 (EDT)
- Agreed. To do otherwise would be to place a sysop at moral hazard: blocking on range in order to get points. What matters is the effort--and make that the minimum effort required to accomplish the blocks.--Judge name redacted 20:33, 17 July 2007 (EDT)

"His book, god is Not GREAT, finally made the bargain bin, 5.99@ Borders." Bargain Bin? At Borders? Since when? That can't be true! Bohdan 22:51, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

Not a bathroom book but more of a "out on the back porch at dusk with a nice tall iced-tea" book. ~~ CЯacke® 22:58, 18 July 2007 (CDT)
- Is it a bin, or a section? What is a "bathroom book"? Bohdan 23:00, 18 July 2007 (CDT)

Question[edit]
I'm quite interested about some of the statements on your userpage;
- When you say that children should not have political leanings, what is your definition of "children"?
- Do the views held by those children influence your attitude towards their maturity level?
- I am, in all likelihood, younger than SimonA. However, I feel quite comfortable around other RWers. I definitely don't consider myself to be on par (mentally) with most RWers, but at least I have a say in important issues. Is this tolerance of me a result of my political views (which fit quite nicely with others here), or because I explain why I hold certain views? If the former, then isn't your statement regarding SimonA a double standard?
This isn't meant to be hostile or confrontational, but I am curious. Thanks for taking the time to read this. --Hjimachong 18:49, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
- I was thinking in the range of 11-14yoa. At that point they ought to be ignoring most everything else since puberty is going to come up and whack them over de head and they won't be able to stop thinking about themselves and their angst without some nice deep political machinations to worry about.
- This is a generalization, (thankfully), since it is always better to have people involved politically, young and not so young, than it is to have most of the people apathetic to the system in which they find themselves since it is in those times and places that extremists can overwhelm a population.
- I think the Brits came up with this one: "The man at 20 who isn't Labour (Lib) has no heart; that same man at fifty who isn't a Tory (Cons) has no brain."
- This, too, is a generalization. But I have personally seen (as have others smarter than me) that folks tend to get a bit more nostalgic for the "good old days" that never really that good, (though they seem better[give it twenty years or so and you'll see], as one ages), thus to be young and conservative, (in my mind anyways, means "I'm happy with the status quo, if we don't mess with it things will naturally get better and better), means that the person thinks changing things "too much" is always a Bad Thing. As they age they will likely want NOTHING changed except to squelch those whom advocate change. In the US this is accomplished mainly by funding those with the same outlook and withholding funds from those in the opposite camp.
- Read up on Barry Goldwater, he was the archetypal Conservative Republican...He more-or-less held the same views his whole life, (and yes, Virginia, he did have "a heart" despite the Brit's quote above), but as time passed he looked more and more left because the Republican party moved so far to the right that they sort of left him out in the middle. If he were alive today and tried to run for the Senate he'd likely be seen as too far LEFT. Think of a manly "Arlen Spector" -- That's what Goldwater would've looked like, politically.
- CЯacke® 20:41, 1 August 2007 (CDT)
- Great answer... I'm 47, and the only reason the "good old days" are good is they don't hurt or suck anymore. I was a neocon for eight minutes in college. I'm looking forward to the "good new days". Hope somez comin'... and also hoping the kidz will understand how to help get them here. My comment: What I would object to are "kids" who simply parrot what their parents have drilled into them. That's why I never subscribed to the FFRF monthly thing - the sample I got had "essays" by kids (say, 11-14?) about why they were atheists. Ew. Give 'em a few years to figure it out for themselves, eh? humanbe in 00:34, 2 August 2007 (CDT)

- Their was a 1980's USA comedian who came up with a routine that used obscure references to common, well known things to bring about an absurdist type of humor. The comedian (who's names excape me) fashioned the word "molleds" to his "discovery". The routine ran about 5 minutes and could be funny if one tried to follow it, but it was only funny oncest.

- Hm... interesting. Might be a case of an overly wide range block then (Okay, pretty much all /16 range blocks are overly wide by definition, but this one more so). But I think TK reverted that block anyway (when unbanning RichardT). --Sid 18:56, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
- I've seen a few */16's go by the past few days, most infinite. I don't think they unnerstand they're blocking IP's not people and the next User:C or RobS lives right next door to the guy they're just blocked using the same ISP. If it's in the USA then if the ISP is a cable provider chances are they share IP's. CЯacke® 19:05, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
- Well, by now they're doing both. Most range blocks come right after or before a person block, I think. Looks like they don't want to risk anybody ever returning with socks, regardless of whether or not that account has been socking (or whether the socks actually did anything bad). And given the frequency, it's seriously just a matter of time before more people get locked out by accident. --Sid 19:12, 4 September 2007 (CDT)

And given the frequency, it's seriously just a matter of time before more people get locked out by accident. --Sid 19:12, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
- I've seen a few */16's go by the past few days, most infinite. I don't think they unnerstand they're blocking IP's not people and the next User:C or RobS lives right next door to the guy they're just blocked using the same ISP. If it's in the USA then if the ISP is a cable provider chances are they share IP's. CЯacke® 19:05, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
- Hm... interesting. Might be a case of an overly wide range block then (Okay, pretty much all /16 range blocks are overly wide by definition, but this one more so). But I think TK reverted that block anyway (when unbanning RichardT). --Sid 18:56, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
<---From what I've seen, only poor Ed Poor doesn't use every available option when blocking, so I'd guess that each range IP block secures against account creation etc. CЯacke® 20:45, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
- Ouch... Yeah, then it's really just a matter of time before CP has reached its ultimate goal: Only the sysops will be left (minus a few sysops, I guess) to praise themselves about their rapid growth. --Sid 20:48, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
- They're too gutless to block MY ISP, with a range block 209.85.0.0 CЯacke® 20:53, 4 September 2007 (CDT)
