Anarchy / I have a question
« on: September 30, 2002, 04:19:12 PM »
Hair color in canis has many gene pairs so you can have quite a bit of variety even within the same breed.  I would recommend sterilizing your pet and picking up a pound puppy if you want more dogs.  As for breeding of dogs, it has been my experience that pure-breds make horrible pets and mutts make wonderful pets.  You don't want inbreeding in your family, why insist upon it in your pets?

Pbsaurus...on HN you claim you are 50....hmm....something. Ah, I forget. I don't visit too often.

Come to think of it, maybe I will join HN too.

Anarchy / A qucik quessie (none forum related!)
« on: September 30, 2002, 04:05:57 PM »
Here in the United States, we have Kindergarten which is basically socialization for 5 year olds.  Then we have the elementary schools which run from grade on through four, five, or six (ages 6-12+/-2), then there is either middle school (4 or 5 through 8th grade) or intermediate school (7th and 8th grade--age 12-14) or junior high school (7th-9th grade), then there is High School (9th or 10th grade through 12th grade).  At the conclusion of 12th grade most students are 18 or almost 18 (unless they've skipped a grade or got started early).  We also have continuation school for those bad kids who get kicked out of school due to behavioural problems.  Upon graduation from high school some go to a community college (2 year AA degree) or to various state or private colleges and universities (with 4 year BA, or BS degrees).  Some go on to get masters degrees and doctorate or professional degrees at these institutions.  There are also certificate programs at many of these institutions (such as in Database Administration, MCSE, etc.).  Those who don't go to these may go to a trade school (aircraft mechanics, physicians assistant, cosmetology, etc.) and then there is a group of losers who don't do any of these and either turn out like Bill Gates, Mike Tyson, or your typical AOL user.  The difference between a college and a university is usually size.  A university will have several colleges within it (i.e. School of Education, School of Letters and Sciences, School of Public Administration, etc.).

Hope that answers your question in a convoluted sort of way.

Political Opinions / Abortions?
« on: September 30, 2002, 03:50:32 PM »
Why stop there, I'm for infanticide, still practiced today.  I'm also for retroactive abortion.  Just sign up for AOL and you should be aborted for the good of humanity.

Anarchy / What Annoys You?
« on: September 23, 2002, 06:27:27 PM »
I tend to not let things get me angry.  If something or someone is stupid or annoying, I tend to ignore them and eventually they disappear.  Then there's always my ignore list ;).  I feel that letting things like that get under one's skin is just counterproductive and my energies are better budgeted elsewhere.

Those would be testicles and the gentleman would be suffering from elephantiasis which is caused by the nematode wucheria bancrofti (I just knew that that Nematology 110 class I took back in 1987 would come in handy some day!)

I think we need a new business model for IP (intellectual property) anyhow, including music. Check out http://tipping.selfpromotion.com/?CF for an interesting article on "Tipping - a method for optimizing compensation for intellectual property." by Robert Woodhead. Makes sense to me. In fact, our band has decided we will always give our music away for free and simply ask people who like our music and want to hear more to make contributions to our recording projects. We don't play music to make a fortune - we write and perform because we love it. I'm sick of the music industry - because it's just that, a machine for making the big companies money. It's high time the real artists, those in the trenches, raise up in revolt and take the art of music back to the people where it belogns. Okay, I'm getting off my soapbox now... lol.


Thanks for the link.  Looks like a pretty decent model to me.  So are you going to add a 'tip jar' to your site?

Hey PB, good to see you again. You should've hitched a ride on my refugee life raft.  :)

Are you sure you're still not up for my marriage proposal? I haven't a date for a dinner tomorrow night, feh.
Ah well...i'll venture off into these unfamiliar forums now...happy hunting all!


Your offer is very tempting I assure you.  If you immigrate to San Jose, Cali and the wife mysteriously dies, then I don't see how I could refuse :wink:


Zao, I really like that avatar, it's almost as lovely as you.

Just a Bronco fan, other then them, I know not much.

If the Cowboys can pull it off, it'll be nice for the Broncos to exact revenge from that January back in '78
