Fuck you Mr. ET Shill multi-posting credit-stealing copywrite violating piece of shit. Welcome to my ignore list asshole.

Leon Panetta as Director of Central Intelligence? Well, the biggest clown in Washington was already taken, Joe Biden. Panetta is the second biggest clown in Washington. We are going to be attacked. It is that simple. After 9/11 I expected one thing from George W. I simply wanted him to...

:D

The 70s was cool. NYC was actually pretty damned scary looking. The S.F. bay area was looking rather funky too.

Yes, start again but get rid of fractional reserve banking.

Mad Max times? Man I hope I don't have to eat dogfood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HOdMCFUZFc&feature=related

+1 Hyper-inflation, outright devaluation. Isn't that where this ends up?

Mostly nonsense. I work with terrabytes of 20Hz data. HDF5 is universally preferred for large data. It is not suitable as a database file. You read the entire thing into high core and then work on it. As I said, you might be better off with an SQL database but if you are just bulk storing...

Well, the files read into Matlab with just a few lines of code and read in almost instantaneously. Some of my ascii processes can take a minute or two to open large files (~750Meg). HDF5 files are easier to amend as each entry is a field with attributes. Changing a few rows in an ascii file...

HDF5 is a binary format, nice small files. Very good for huge data. Nothing wrong with Ascii files but HDF5 is more appropriate for really large data.

Hmm. I have a 1933 Rolex Masonic tank. I have only seen one other. Not exactly falling from trees. I like the old stuff <shrug>.

Gotta disagree Dave. Comparisons of the decline of the Roman Empire really aren't relevant to what the U.S. is experiencing. Rome faced military destruction. The U.S. will never face military destruction. Its crass to say but, yes, the U.S. has a massive stockpile of thermonuclear weapons and...

Yeah, I got a note like that from BofA. I called them up and said "No". They offered 5.99% which I accepted. Problem solved. My experian was 795 last month when I refinanced my home.

Another arrogant twat from France. We aren't concerned with your opinion. Perhaps next time we won't rescue France from her enemies. Your own house isn't in order yet you presume to tell the U.S. how it should function. If the U.S. were to adopt the attitudes of the French we would end up...

I love canadians but you are clearly a 'tard. The U.S. military at this particular moment in time could kick the shit out of anyone dumb enough to engage it conventionally or unconventionally. You also fail to comprehend that in a wordwide depression the U.S. suffers the *least* and...

Texas is looking better and better. I've heard that Austin is a good town.

Agree. Ricerocket, I'm taking you off my ignore list. :D

Chrysler can package small fuel efficient Fiat engines in small domestic cars designed for the U.S. market and sell them in droves. But it is kinda scary, a Chrysler car with a Fiat engine. Seems like the worst of both worlds. To me none of these intercontinental car partnerships seem to...

When I saw Fight Club for the first time it was in a theater. When Ed Norton said "Shatner, I'd fight William Shatner" somebody in the theater yelled out "William Shatner would kick your ass!" and the place roared.

Hear! Hear! Data shows that 144,000 people left California last month. That is the best news I have heard in years. We need a good earthquake to clear them out faster.
