Basskisser: If you are employed as an engineer as you claim, why the majority of
your
posts to this NG made during normal business hours?????

Very simple....well, maybe not for some.....
As I've stated, in this forum, I'm self employed. I contract work. My
choice. I make my own hours. Sometimes, I work from early afternoon,
until well into the night. Sometimes, I get up early, and finish up
early. All according to MY schedule.

Have you formed your own engineering consulting business with others or are you on your
own?

I am self employed. I contract work from the company that I worked for
10 years. I use CAD techs, etc. from contacts that I've made through
the years.

Basskisser asked:

Please provide ANY shred of evidence that the "courts.........found
out your grow marijuana" Can't? Didn't think so

Darn you are right, I don't know if the courts know about the illegal
activity you do in your home, but if you let me know what county you live in
I will make sure this is corrected.

Can I be honest with you, anyone who makes a post in alt.drugs.pot about
growing dope, should not be calling anyone, and I do mean anyone stupid.
That must be one of the dumbest things I have ever heard of.

Now for what it is worth, I don't care if anyone smokes dope as long as they
don't smoke and drive, but only a complete idiot make a post like the one
below and then go out of his way to **** people off. You would make a great
antidrug commercial.

Please help! I have started a couple of plants, looking pretty good,
they are three leaved plants. My most important question...how to tell
a male at an early stage...the best one is bushy, about 8" tall so far.

How long have you been unemployed? Do you take care of your daughter or
have the courts keep you separated from the kids since they found out
your
grow marijuana?

Are you REALLY that stupid, or just trying to be funny? Please provide
any proof that I'm unemployed. Can't? Didn't think so. Putz.

Please provide ANY shred of evidence that the "courts.........found
out your grow marijuana" Can't? Didn't think so.

This being said, if you are going to try to sound like somebody that
KNOWS anything, you should have some evidence to back that up. I'll be
awaiting said evidence.

It had the whiff of parody. Psychologists dissecting the

brain?

A press release from UC Berkeley

snip

UC Berkeley, eh? Not worth reading then.

Where did you graduate from? Anyplace with nearly the distinction of
UC Berkeley? Or DID you graduate?

BSME 1993 Purdue University (I took the EIT...does that make me an
"engineer"?)

Uh, no, it makes you an EIT.

DDS 1999 Indiana University School of Dentistry.


*You* decide if Purdue's Mechanical Engineering program qualifies as
"near
the distinction" of Berkeley.

Purdue is a fine school. I have a fellow engineer who is a Purdue
grad. He also took grad classes at Berkeley. Why? better classes for
his particular interests. Now, please show how Purdue is a better
school than Berkeley.

Besides that it has more conservatives?

When I attended Purdue, US News ranked the ME program 3rd in the country. A
survey of deans of the Engineering schools across the country currently
ranks it 7...but corporate recruiters currently ranks it 3rd.



And Indiana U. is not even in the running!

I didn't know you could compare IU's dental program with Berkeley's...since
Berkeley doesn't have one.

Where did I "compare IU's dental program with Berkeley's"? I compared
IU with Berkeley, period. From your cite of U.S. News, the schools
offering doctorates, in engineering disciplines are as follows, in
order of rankings:
Civil:
U.C. Berkeley
U. Illinois
Georgia Tech
U. Texas
M.I.T.

Mechanical:
M.I.T.
U.C. Berkeley
Stanford
Georgia Tech
U. Mich.

Electrical/Electronics:
M.I.T.
U. Illinois
U.C. Berkeley
U. Mich.

Industrial:
Georgia Tech
U. Mich
Perdue
U. Penn.
Stanford

Chemical:
M.I.T.
Berkeley
U. Minn.
U. Wisconsin
U. Texas

Computer Tech.
M.I.T.
Carnegie-Mellon
Stanford
U.C. Berkeley
U. Illinois

University of Illinois is rated better than U.C. Berkeley in only TWO
fields of engineering. Berkeley is rated better in FOUR fields over
U.I.

Don't tell anyone, but my girlfriend has a way of running her nails down the

There are some people who'd call this "intoxication", and make it illegal.

snippage-my apologies

It's been fun watching Tom Ridge play "voodoo security" the last
week or
so. Let's see...we'll heighten the security alert to make Americans
uneasy, then we'll tell them we don't need as many sky marshals as
we
have, then we'll tell Americans to be prepared for a skyjacking...

Has there been a more incompetent administration in the last 50
years? I
don't think so.

As you already know, these "Security Alerts" are doubly inane.
Since
9/11, since Afghanistan, since Iraq, *every* day should be seen as
a
"high risk" day. Are we going to count on Al-Jazira to predict our
security risks??? What a bunch of horse****! If Al-Qaida is going
to
hit us, they aren't likely to put it on the radio or TV first.

"Al-Jazira stated today that you should call your mother." HAR!!!

More frightening is the thought that the Bush Administration needs
every diversion that they can get, because the pacification of Iraq
gets more deadly, and more uncontrollable, every day. The absolute
certainty of WMD's has become "murky intelligence". Saddam's
certain
nuclear- sorry, noocular program has become an "intelligence
error".
The only saving grace at this point is some sort of "liberation"
for
the Iraqi people, although loyalty will temporarily lie with
whoever
gives them food, electricity, and water. A hungry man does not
care
about Democracy, he wants to eat, and to feed his family, and he
does
not care who is running the show.

Are we delusional (just a question) in thinking that a society that
has been fuedal for 3,000 years will suddenly embrace Democracy?
The
jubilation at the toppling of Saddam's statue has been replaced by
demonstrations and RPG's.

For those that remember, and for those that don't, it is becoming
like
Vietnam. Daily death counts in a country that we do not, and
cannot,
control, populated by people that we do not understand.

My utmost respect and appreciation goes to the members of our
various
armed forces, who place their lives on the line every day, to
defend
their country. I also pray daily that our leadership is worthy of
such sacrifice.

My respectful condolences go to those who have lost loved ones in
this
war.

noah

I'm afraid it is going to take a significantly larger number of body
bags to force the Bush Administration to come to some sort of sense.
Today's news reports were full of features about ultra-conservative
mullahs from Iran returning to Iraq to take up where they left before
Saddam, to establish a theocracy in Iraq. Now *that* should be
interesting.

You really have to wonder how stupid Bush really is to go down the
path
he is following. He is creating a world in which those who oppose us
are
solidifying in ways never imagined in the "good" old days of the
Kremlin.

We're going to take a big hit from the terrorists, and when we do, it
will be because of Bush. That has to be made crystal clear to
Americans.



Here is a news flash for you....we already did. Shall we place the
blame for 9-11
then
on the hands of BJ Clinton?



Why would you do that? Bush was captain of the ship of state on 9-11,
and it has been documented his administration had all sorts of info that
something big was coming up. So, what did Bush do? The idiot took the
month of August off.

Bush had been in office nine months by the time 9/11 occured. It
happened on his watch. He has to take the blame for it.

If you were captain of a Naval ship for nine months and during your 10th
month in command, something horrendous happened for which you had some
previous hints, who would the Navy hold responsible? You? Or the guy who
was captain the year earlier?



--
* * *
email sent to will *never* get to me.


You are an absolute buffoon if you think 9-11 was GWB's fault.

I don't think buffon is strong enough...the sad fact of the matter is that
there is NO WAY in a society such as ours to completely prevent an attack.
We are too free, too open a society to prevent any attacks. The bast we can
do is process intelligence and do our best to REMOVE THE MOST LIKELY
attackers. That is what we are doing today, under GWB. But then again, GWB
can't win with the left. If he talks about a possible attack now, he is
criticized for not being specific enough or for doing so in an effort to try
to make people forget about the economy (even though it is improving)...but
if we were to be attacked again and he had given no warning (and we will be
attacked again, just a matter of time) the left would be all over him for
not warning the public.

The US is not quite a ship is it? For one thing, in the ocean you don't
have anyone coming over the rails trying to kill you, it is very easy to
control access, and all on board are military personnel. Nice analogy
though, Boo Radley.

But speaking of ships, how about the Cole? Or the embassy bombings? Or the
1993 attack on the WTC? Or...oh, what's the point, you probably think that
was GWB's fault too, even though Clinton was poking Monica in the oval
office at the time...

I agree, when you think about how much money is wasted trying to enforce
drug laws it is a sin. We are no more effective enforcing drug laws than we
were enforcing prohibition, but I would never recommend anyone make a post
on USENET talking about his marijuana plants.

In the context of the post I was responding to, it's irrelevant. You
didn't
challenge Harry's statistics and rankings, now, did you?


Frankly, I forgot about his. For the sake of this discussion, YES, I
would
like to know how ALL of the rankings are done. I suspect that when this
question is answered, it will be seen that the rankings don't serve to
support Harry's side or yours.



I didn't rank the statistics...the source did:

National Rankings & Source

Berkeley ranks first nationally in the number of graduate programs in
the top 10 in their fields.
(97% of Berkeley's programs made the top 10 list.)
Ranking from the National Research Council

So? What criteria does the NRC use to rank the programs?
