January 2008 Stundie Nominations

Can someone point me to a program or something that will let me screencap my stundie nom?

I don't want it to lose out because it got purged.
 
If you're running Windows, hitting the "print screen" button will copy your screen to the clipboard.

if your running mac OS its command+shift+3 (it makes a pdf on the desktop)

it should be available in most flavors of linux too, but how to do it depends on the distro :)

Wow, I'd like to see him reconcile the fact that the Monte Carlo Hotel had fires relegated to the outside of the building.

Once I explained the facts and key differences I got the usual response:

Man you are so wrong about WTC7.

Also about everthing else.

But I have no time left.
So enjoy the little freedom you have left.
Soon it will be gone aswell.

Heh. The wannabe revolutionary's equivalent to "I gotta go. My mom's calling."
 
When do teh Janooaireez close? I found a good one. And it's a genuine Stundie!
 
OK, it's too late, but I fell compelled to share this from Duane Daman (a fervent Jack White supporter) at the Education Forum:
----------------------------------------------------------

Here is a quote about just one of the dangers of space travel from scientist von Braun in his 1960 book: First Men to the Moon:

"Finally, there is the Van Allen Radiation Belt (page 69). Just a little over a year ago we didn't even know it existed... When a rocket flies through this belt the trapped electrons impinge on its skin like raindrops hitting an aircraft which is flying through the clouds. Very much in the same fashion as the impinging raindrops cause sound waves audible within the airplane cabin, the impinging electrons produce an electromagnetic radiation inside the cabin."

None of the Apollo astronots ever mentioned hearing the "raindrops" radiation hitting their spacecraft.

He redeems himself a bit in a later post,

It sounded to me like the radiation could actually be heard because of this statement in Von Braun's article ...

"When a rocket flies through this belt the trapped electrons impinge on its skin like raindrops hitting an aircraft which is flying through the clouds. Very much in the same fashion as the impinging raindrops cause sound waves audible within the airplane cabin, the impinging electrons produce an electromagnetic radiation inside the cabin.

If I was wrong you have my apologies ... but I didn't read any explaination as to why I was wrong ... Instead you all just posted your typical insulting, condescending mockery .

But once again, we see a Ctist who can't quite grasp the concept of "similie".
 
Well, he tried to blame his notion that they should have heard radiation on his dyslexia. But I've worked with at least one aerospace engineer with dyslexia, and frankly I'm not buying that excuse.

Worse, there's no grasp of the meta-problem with his claims: not only does he clearly not understand the topic at hand (radiation in this case), but he's using NASA-published information as "proof" of how impossible it is, all the while claiming that NASA basically has a stranglehold on such information. If so, why are they publishing such smoking guns for genius investigators like him to find?

I agree, but it's so rare to have one of them admit an error, I'm going to give him a pass on the face-saving dyslexia excuse ;)
