I don't have a real problem with H. Clinton's e-mail habits. I do have a problem with the Democrats doing everything they could to de-rail B. Sanders candidacy in favor of H. Clinton. Even though most people favor B. Sanders ( or dislike H. Clinton more ). In contrast, most sensible Republicans did their best to distance themselves from a disastrous D. Trump candidacy. Although none of his rivals were much better.

No. IMO the distinction is R. Nixon got cought. Or was there no conspiracy to undermine B. Sanders' bid for Democratic nominee ? Oh, and I am an H. Clinton supporter.

You seem to fixate on insignificant things, like words or quotes, and running with them to draw all sorts of conclusions and meanings, where there may be none. I don't think D. Trump has a clue what he's talking about half the time. He just stirs up sh*t to make people angry at the government ( the status quo ), and get publicity ( good or bad ).

Nixon was an 'honest' man compared to most of today's politicians.

Heck no. He's not the politician.

Have to agree with Ten oz. Even opposite is a subjective definition, so this OP is pointless as it becomes an exercise in subjective beliefs. And some people would say you can have black and white together. Its called 'gray'. But again, it depends on whether you use the 'light' definition of colour or the 'paint' definition.

No, the effect has been well known for years. It was used in internal combustion ( piston ) engines of WW2 fighter planes and even some 60s vintage jet planes, where it has an even more substantial effect. The disadvantage is that you could, instead of carrying water with you, carry a much smaller amount of extra fuel, and then use super/turbo charging of the air to enable its use. You would need to add a large amount of water to cool the intake charge enough to be able to stuff twice the amount of air into a combustion chamber while turbochargers do it routinely. Edit: Search for Water Injection ( engine ) on Wikipedia.

He ( Aron Ra ) presents himself as intelligent and professional in this video. But in others, while still intelligent, he comes off as a bit of a dick. In politics, its all about telling people what they want to hear.

Or, it could be bad circulation due to your smoking habit. Maybe the situation will improve now that you're making an attempt to quit ?

Was life, and changes to it, really that 'glacial' before WW2 ( 75 yrs ago ) ? Consider that 75 yrs before WW2, Napoleon III and his French troops were defeated at Sedan by Bismark's Prussian troops. Both men were at the field of battle, and both still carried swords. Neither of them, or any of the troops knew anything about radioactivity, or even what atoms were. Yet 75 years later, WW2 ended with the detonation of two nuclear weapons. That may not seem like a big deal to us, now. But I bet they thought things had changed very rapidly also.

The Wiki entry for 'Poincare Group' is actually very understandable, Geordief. ( at my level of understanding, beginner level ) It explains the ten degrees of freedom of Minkowsky space-time, which comprise the isometries ( the property of invariant intervals between events ), and relates it to the ten parameters of the Galilean Group and its absolute space-time.

WHY would anyone stop eating bacon ???

Every generation ( since the time of the Greeks ), as they become old, have lamented that things are changing way too fast, that young people are disrespectful and irresponsible, and that things were so much better in the old days. Different doesn't necessarily mean worse. I suggest that the only thing that's changed is their age, and they miss their youth. ( I know I do )

You gotta squint when you say that, DrmDoc,

They can be, in that they lead to measurable effects.

Minkowsky space-time ( flat, ignoring gravity effects ) is not a group. It is certain transformational operations ( isometries IIRC ) that are part of a non-Abelian Lie group. The Lorentz transforms of SR are a sub-group of the Poincaire group.

Thanks Sudiot, I'll see if I can find it. The lecture notes AJB recommended ( for which I thank you AJB ) may be introductory to him, as he works with these concepts everyday, but they are far from it for me. I'm hoping your suggestion is a little more 'introductory'.

Not strictly space-time, but look up Kaluza-Klein theory, where an additional dimension allows for the inclusion of EM forces.

Well, your only other alternative is to get very rich. You don't think wrinkly old Hugh Hefner has all those women hangin around 'cause he's good looking, do you ?

You're too old to start dating now ??? I'm almost 57 yrs old, and still occasionally date. Not that I'm looking for a relationship, but everyone needs human companionship. ( my two cats just don't cut it ) You can't just chat on the internet for the next 50 yrs or so. Life is what YOU make of it, not the lot you're dealt. Live your life. You won't get a second chance ( I get the impression you don't believe in the after-life ).

Greg Frewin, who has a local theater here in Niagara Falls, but also appears in Vegas, cruise ships, TV specials, etc. Mostly because my niece has been in his show for about 8 yrs.

If you weren't so down on religion , you might try meeting women at church services. You could provide an outlet for all those women's repressed sexual urges. I'm not religious, but, for years, when I was younger, the only mass I would attend would be midnight mass on Christmas eve. All the girls were dressed up like they were going clubbing, and afterwards was like a party with everyone wishing everyone else a Merry Christmas, exchanging hugs and kisses. Then a bunch of us would go for breakfast. And then... Damn, I miss being young. P.S. - Sometimes I see real unattractive dudes with gorgeous women. I don't know you, but you seem to be the only one continually saying you're not attractive and not very intelligent, Maybe you're wrong. And you've certainly proved in this thread and others, that you are interesting, or at least have interesting opinions.

I upgraded a win7 laptop to win10 just a few days ago. I hadn't planned to activate win10 and the laptop had an educational version of win7 home premium. I was going to re-load win10 at a later date and use the 'assistive technologies' free upgrade offer ( which is still doable ). On a lark I decided to activate win10 using the win7 educational code and it worked. Apparently MS is still allowing the free upgrade to win10 after Jul29.

I'm not suggesting we should do anything. I'm simply stating that the current situation is unfair to a large number of women. Did you see the race Delta ? It looked like two different races. One group of women ( masculine looking ) were so far ahead of the other group ( feminine looking ) that they could have raced on different tracks. I, myself, didn't see it as a fair competition. ( I also don't see how to change things to make it fair for everyone )

Sure there is, and its the same reasons the chimps have, greed, lust, power, etc. Being able to reason just lets you think of even more ways to satisfy your greed, lust, need for power, etc.
