Some people are clearly paid to post materials of political nature.
This is obvious in some other groups where someone will clearly take
the party line of a country like Pakistan or China always posting flat
out propoganda of the sort that makes you laugh it is so obvious. I
think we may have an example in this group of someone (or two) who
post politics that are very one sided, very OT and almost always
nothing more than "cut 'n paste and regurgitate."
I think this is despicable being similar to a company say, Evinrude,
(just an example, I have no knowledge of such happening) paying
someone here to post glowing reviews of their product posing as a
normal user. When we suspect this, it makes all this persons postings
to become nothing more than channel filling noise in a group where
what we really want is unpaid commentary by persons with no vested
interest in posting.

Go back to inventing stuff that won't sell. You've not got a future as a
commentator.

People who cut and paste articles just to **** people off or spend 20
hrs a day trolling and insulting as many people as possible, is one of
the reason why Usenet is no longer being offered by so many ISP's. The
signal to noise ratio is too high to make Usenet a viable form for
sharing information based upon topics. As of June 23, Comcast,
Sprint, Verizon, AT&T,Time Warner will no longer provide free Usenet
services.

Poor dumb Harry. He knows nothing about inventing or being technically
creative

Thomas A. Edison:

Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always
America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave
as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!

Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent
perspiration.

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't
mean it's useless.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they
were to success when they gave up.

Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where
it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the
place to become discouraged

And Henry Ford. Harry, pay special attention to the first one!

A bore is a person who opens his mouth and puts his feats in it.

Even a mistake may turn out to be the one thing necessary to a
worthwhile achievement.

Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more
intelligently.

I cannot discover that anyone knows enough to say definitely what is
and what is not possible.


Good thing these people didn't think like Harry!

Failure can be very profitable too so whenever something does not work
remember it and WHY. Then use that as the basis for something else.
A personal example that Eisboch will probable be familar with.
We once wanted to make a conductive coating that was very shiny and we
would then electroplate gold onto it and then peel of the resulting
gold foil. We electron beam evaporated chromium onto glass because
this made a beautiful surface. Then we electroplated the gold onto
that expecting the gold to peel off, WRONG. It turns out that Chrome
is used as an adhesion layer for gold.
Now, I often use this mistake to ensure gold sticks.

Oh, absolutely! A lot of Edison's inventions were mistakes. He was
trying to get a completely different result, failed, and then the
failure did something unexpected.

Do you a "scientist" who knew more about the subject through formal
education and experimentation might have known the result of electron
beaming evaporated chomium onto glass and the resulting reaction to
electoplated gold?

You sound like a guy who throws crap onto the wall and hopes something
will stick.

Nickel is commonly referred to as a "glue" layer for those of you guys that
are into multilayer, thin film coatings.

Side note ... I often thought that thin film engineers sniffed too much
thorium fluoride in their careers. Some are very strange people.

The glue used on Post-It's was a failure, that turned into a very
profitable product.

The above diatribe is BARELY English, first of all. Secondly, an
education doesn't mean that everything you touch has a known outcome,
dumb ass.
