   HI PURPLEPEEP / B-CAT / FLYOVERMAN–on the 6 digit comment numbering system–and human basics.

   As a retired engineer I certainly understand the need for extreme precision IN SOME CASES.
   In other cases “close enough for gubmint work” applies.
   ***
   As someone who grew up with a (horrors!) slide rule the first step was to get a “ballpark” idea of the right answer and then use the “slipstick” to get 3 digit (0.1 percent) accuracy. If more precision was needed then hand calculation was needed–and it was only done for these cases.
   ***
   I have seen tremendously high precision calculations done by super computers with very high accuracy. Only problem was that the simulated missile was 20 miles below the surface of the earth–flying backwards at high speed yet!
   ***
   Most people are basically “analog” one percent type thinkers. I don’t refer to your previous posts by the 6 digit numbers–too much typing for the rocketman. I would have used numbers in the 1 to 1000 range.

   You know what would really help here? Sending ALL of our jobs over to China. The reason the private sector of our economy has not created a single net job since 1997 is because we keep orchestrating jobless “recoveries”. The reason for the latter is that we are also outsourcing the very risk capital that fuels the “hidden hand” of capitalism. In the past, we innovated our way out of our problems. Not because we are a superior race but because of our enthusiasm for creating and investing risk capital in our own country. That is almost gone today.

   Our “global corporations”, who have no loyalty to anyone or anything, are gutting our economy systematically because Americans insist on making a good living. Financial innovation has replaced economic innovation. Who needs to create better machines when there is an endless supply of cheap labor trapped in oppressive countries like China? This process may have made a lot of wealthy people even richer quickly but behind the mask of what is being presented as “creative destruction” is a leveling of the playing field for global government exploitation. It’s more like razing than leveling. Good-bye middle class. Good-bye freedom.

   So what do we need missiles and missile defense shields for? In WWII, we had no reservations blowing up enemy targets because they were enemy targets. Considering how global corporations now own politicians, will be willing to blow up a GE plant in Russia, for instance, while listening to Mark Mobius gushing about investment opportunities in that country on CNBC? Who is “us” and who is “them” today?

   That is the real cost of abandoning our respect for national sovereignty. Our leaders no longer seem to care about the US Constitution and national borders anymore. The rights and freedoms defined and protected by our Constitution and contained within our borders are merely impediments for free trade in the new Friedman (Tom, not Milton) “flat world” of fascist capitalism. We may all be digging ditches soon. And as always happens in these “revolutions”, many of those who made it happen will also find themselves at the guillotine. No need for intellectuals after the deed is done. (from my comment at Powerline)

    Fly, you are absolutely correct! The A-C models came stock with a bogart phreniated plebney, which everyone knows, is nowhere near as efficient as a well cambered fogarty bevel with a neoprene calyptra. Thank God those early designs were quickly dispatched as unworkable.

    from The Communist Party USA and the 2004 Elections:

    And the chair of ACORN and Working Families Party who called upon us [the Communist Party USA] as family to make our contribution known. Did we respond? YES, we responded!

    Why was Bertha Lewis chair of (supposedly non-partisan) ACORN **and** co-chair of the Working Families Party?

    Why did Bertha Lewis call upon the Communist Party USA “as family” to make their contribution known?!?

    It should come as no surprise that Bertha Lewis is using claims of “McCarthyism” as her defense! She herself says that the current charges against ACORN are equivalent to saying,
    

    “Are you now, or have you ever been, associated with ACORN?”

    Yes, yes, the early prototype calyptra was prone to failure, but the kevlar nannystater was merely a stop gap measure. They went back to the calyptra design when they found that it could be case-hardened with unobtainium, which everyone knows (there I go again) is 10X stronger than a hoodadoodata laminated anakanapoona. Compared to that, using kevlar, might as well be using kleenex?! Sheesh right back.

    Mister P,

    Consider the primaries in the state of Florida.

    Analyze why the Democrats initially claimed that they would not seat delegates from Florida.

    I believe that the reason was to encourage Democrats to vote in the Republican Primary. There was enough time for them to switch party afiliation and vote in the Republican primary.

    Florida was an important win for McCain. In fact, even though McCain had come in 4th place in the Iowa primary just weeks earlier, the victory in Florida allowed the MSM to start repeating the mantra of “McCain is the presumptive nominee…McCain is the presumptive nominee…McCain is the presumptive nominee…”

    “ACORN votes Barack Obama?” ACORN IS Barack Obama! The only ACORN people who didn’t vote Obama were those who didn’t vote at all–either because they were too busy illegally registering non-citizens to register THEMSELVES, or because they were plastered from celebrating on election night.

    It would be like having a slogan from circa 1930′s Germany saying “The National Socialist German Worker’s Front Votes Adolf Hitler.” How obvious is something before it becomes imbecilic?
