Interesting. Is it too good to be true? The other ones work with
computers.

Does anyone know any bike with Browning automatic? It senses torque as
well as speed.

A co-workers spouse got one, really liked it. But you see the one
hybrid and one road frame they sell.

(Let's forget about America. The revolution here won't start until
drivers are grounded because they can't afford the gas and don't know
any solution. So let's talk about Africa or something)

Oh, something predatory capitalism dismisses. We must constantly
progress or else we are losers, left to rot in poverty. Well, that's
not the point of a revolution. The point is that everybody has the
bare necessities covered. And what are they?

1- FREEDOM: We can't have a revolution without freedom of speech and
freedom to protest,

2- SAFETY: We don't care about freedom if we are not safe, so we must
be safe in the community (no need for gated community). We may
legalize drugs if it contributes to peace and stability. Worst
criminals will be subject to the Law of the Jungle (whatever it takes
to get the job done),

3- HEALTHCARE: C'mon, we all get sick sooner or later. Let's make
nonprofit healthcare a goal,

4- EDUCATION: Free up to technical level, then affordable at the
higher lever,

5- TRANSPORTATION: No, the revolution won't make it easy for you,
people in Africa, to own a car. We reject the idea of an SUV in an
urban civilized environment. The revolution will guarantee you the
right to have a bike and to be safe on the road. Of course, public
transportation is also part of the revolution and Curitiba, Brazil,
has been doing a quiet revolution in that respect,

6- HOMELESSNESS: No homeless. They will be interned in mental
institutions (as appropriate) or made to contribute to the community
where they live in exchange for the bare necessities.

7- HEALTHY FOOD: Affordable rice and beans, bananas and peanuts, or
popcorn as it may be the case.

Thats just plain wrong. Plenty of places stopped constantly
progressing and didnt rot in poverty when they did.

Almost the entire modern first and second world worked out how to do that LONG ago now.

Mindlessly silly. Teenagers are absolutely notorious for not
giving a damn about safety. They really do believe that they

Easier said than done. There will always be criminals, stupid.

Open slather on drugs isnt going to do that.

Thats not peace and stability, stupid.

Not everyone does, some are just healthy until they die in their sleep.

We all need to eat and drink. Only a fool would demand
that that be non profit because its something we all need.

Waffle. Define affordable.

With technical education it makes a lot of sense to have a
mechanism whereby you can pay for the technical education
with the better job you get with the technical education.

But you cant actually justify your line that up to technical level
should be free but not after that.

Your philosophy seems very fitting for the outback: It provides for

Bravo TM! You have no idea how I am going to start reading your posts if
only you can keep off of your crusade.

I could take some lessons from you in how to remain civil I must admit. Your
good nature is priceless on these newsgroups.

I do support govt safetynets for those, basically because so

those whose parents are too stupid to bother with the alternatives etc.

After its recent emergence in the thread "How to calculate increase
of home wireless router range?", readers of this group may find
this useful. [based on a post in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage]


Who or What is Rod Speed?

Rod Speed is an entirely modern phenomenon. Essentially, Rod
Speed is an insecure and worthless individual who has discovered
he can enhance his own self-esteem in his own eyes by playing "the
big, hard man" on the InterNet.

Rod is believed to be from Australia.


Rod certainly posts a lot. Why is that?

It relates back to the point about boosting his own self esteem by
what amounts to effectively having a wank in public. Rod's
personality, as exemplified by his posts, means he is practically
unemployable which means he sits around at home all day festering
away and getting worse and worse. This means he posts more and
more try and boost the old failing self esteem. Being unemployed
also means he as a lot of time on his hands to post in he first
place.


But maybe Rod really is a very clever and knowledgable person?

Clever? His posts wouldn't support that theory. As far as being
knowledgable, well, Rod has posted to various aus newsgroups
including invest, comms, and politics. He has posted to all as a
self professed "expert" and flames any and all who disagree with
him. Logically, here's no way any single individual could be
more than a jack of all trades across such a wide spread of
subject matter.


But maybe Rod really is an expert in some areas?

Possibly. However, his "bedside manner" prevents him from being
taken seriously by most normal people. Also, he has damaged his
credibility in areas where he might know what he's on about by
shooting his self in the foot in areas where he does not. For
example, in the case of subject matter such as politics, even a
view held by Albert Einstein cannot be little more than an
opinion and to vociferously denigrate an opposing opinion is
simply small mindedness and bigotry, the kind of which Einstein
himself fought against his whole life.


What is Rod Speed's main modus operandi?

Simple! He shoots off a half brained opinion in response to any
other post and touts that opinion as fact. When challenged, he
responds with vociferous and rabid denigration. He has an
instantly recognisable set of schoolboy put downs limited pretty
much to the following: "Pathetic, Puerile, Little Boy, try
harder, trivial, more lies, gutless wonder, wanker, etc etc".
The fact that Rod has been unable to come up with any new insults
says a lot about his outlook and intelligence.


But why do so many people respond to Rod in turn?

It has to do with effrontery and a lack of logic. Most people
who post have some basis of reason for what they write and when
Rod retorts with his usual denigration and derision they respond
emotionally rather than logically. It's like a teacher in a
class room who has a misbehaving pupil. The teacher challenges
the pupil to explain himself and the student responds with "***
off, Big Nose!" Even thought the teacher has a fairly normal
proboscis, he gets a dent in his self-esteem and might resort to
an emotional repsonse like "yeah? well your *** wouldn't fill a
pop rivet, punk", which merely invites some oneupmanship from the
naughty pupil. Of course, the teacher should not have justified
the initial comment with a response, especially in front of the
class. The correct response was "please report to the
headmaster's office right NOW!"


What is a "RodBot"?

Some respondents in aus.invest built a "virtual Rod" which was
indiscernable from the "real" Rod. Net users could enter an
opinion or even a fact and the RoDBot would tell them they were
pathetic lying schoolboys who should be able to do better or some
equally pithy Rod Speedism.


Are you saying that Rod Speed is a Troll?

You got it!


What is the best way to handle Rod Speed?

You do not want to provide for the down and outers. Why is that? Don't ever
think you can be down and out? Think again. Chance and happenstance is
available for every human being who has ever lived. How about a stroke or
heart attack to set you on the path to sanity! Maybe cancer is more your

Well, it is like a decent universal school system K-12. It will cost society
an enormous amount of its resources. It is well on the road to socialism.
But hey, if you are NOT a libertarian, then more credit to you.

I would never go to a link of yours. Just how crazy do you think I am?

You seem to delight in kicking those who are less fortunate than you. Is
that what social conservatives do?

Unfortunately private charities never seem to do much. They only want to
help those who they deem "deserving".

You should get a new tag line. Why bore everyone to death! But I understand.
You are not only a stupid son of a bitch, you are also a lazy son of a
bitch. Those two qualities often go together

There is no face more ignorant than yours. After all, you are just an Aussie
Aborigine with a flat nose taking up 50% of your ugly face. Now go piss and
shit and fuck so as to clean yourself like the animal that you are ... and
quit bothering the noble members of these honorable newsgroups.

Thats a lie. I think that the loonys we used to keep in locked wards should
be provided for. They prefer anything other than the old locked wards.

I certainly dont want to provide for drug addicts, but thats
not libertarian, most dont want to provide for drug addicts.

Listen up you god damn fucking asshole, we have got you figured out to a T.
You need to be dropped in Libya where you could survive or not. With an
asshole like you, it is all about survival of the fittest. Too much of you
and I will turn into a progressive liberal like Tom Sherman.

Yes, I agree with you on that. Providing drugs only perpetuates the problem.
Folks on drugs are not good for society.

As most of you know, I have been opposed to TM and his crusade since it is
monotonous and mostly senseless. But TM is a genius almost on my level
compared to RS. So, what is wrong with RS?

RS is a fraud through and through. He only knows how to put down those who
are less fortunate than him. I am a social conservative, but he gives the
term a bad name. It is pointless to excoriate those who are down and out,
yet he seems to delight in it. This makes him out for the poor dumb bastard
that he is.

But what is really funny is that he gratuitously insults those on these
newsgroups with whom he has the slightest disagreement. I have never done
that nor has TM. Note the word "gratuitously". That is the key. What does
this tell us about him? It tells me that he is as dumb as a post and
insecure to boot. Note how he likes to pick on those who are somewhat naive.
Is not this ever the hallmark of a weak-kneed bastard and a bully? Yea, I
can spot them a mile off even if the rest of you can't

I will support TM in whatever he says in opposition to RS. TM is at least
human and RS is nothing but an inhuman bastard. Fuck him all the way to Hell
and back!

The Aussie appears to me to be a "legend" for reasons to rank him as a
sub-troll under trolls and the Minnesotan.

For one thing, between those two lowly folks, the Aussie is the one that
likes to irritate many others, especially those who work for a living.

I hope the 16-plus-year-old largely-current FAQ on the infamous Aussie
says it well enough!

I may be more used to being insulted than you. It rolls off my back and
I go for the entertainment value. You know, you don't have to play the game.

I have a friend that is very insulting, but also very generous. And I
accept that that in him. If I didn't he wouldn't have any friend(s)!

The key, I think, is just avoiding frustration. If you don't argue
with the Aussie, there is no point let alone any reward, he's amusing
enough. If you act like you have a dog in that fight then you will have
a miserable experience. People, after all, do what they do best, even if
it is stupid and counter productive.

Anything new in lighting?

Yep, I declare you winner of this match!

We all know the clash of Rod vs. Ed is about personality not content.
Ed is a conservative and Rod sounds like one too, so there are no
winners.

Yes, people with easily hurt feeling from ad hominem attacks should not

Who said *anything* about controversial?

We are talking about two usenet denizens who will pick a fight over
anything, and everything. Not that unusual for usenet where battles of
personality consume great thread lengths. It's like pro wrestling, but
"real".

Perhaps to distinguish himself from "Ed Dolan the Lesser"? This is
Minnesota.

He must have a

He did get RS to emulate the copy/paste insult bit. Although it is a
bit hard to tell whether RS copy/pasted before. He never mistyped
"fuckwit" and he also never got "course" right. I'll give him
consistency. Machine or mind, I do not know.

Not in the american sense, but I am in the sense of the second
one here, I do support modern welfare system, basically social
safetynets tho I dont like the fact that any safetynet does see
some choose to not bother to make their own provision for life
after work, or between jobs and just use the safetynet instead.

RS is just posting copy and paste idiocy. That is an admission of defeat in

TM is starting to figure me out. That "Great" business is a stratagem I
invented to combat all the idiots that I encountered on Usenet. Same goes
for "Great Saint", to combat all the immoral cretins. I will always assume
the high ground since of course I am higher than all of the rest of you.
Yea, even higher than Tom Sherman who is the most intelligent poster to
these newsgroups even though infected in his mind by
liberalism-socialism-communism.

Ed is a conservative and Rod sounds like one too, so there are no
winners.

TM, you are almost there. I urge you to stop with your single minded
crusade. We need you on these newsgroups for general discussion.

As you well know I am on your side when it come to how dangerous it is to
cycle on the roads with motorists. But you need to move on now. I think you
have the intelligence to make for some interesting discussions, but only if
you drop your crusade.

By the way, never lose your good nature. It is what separates you from all
the rest of us.

Jeff has got that exactly right.

I have had some of my worst arguments with libertarians. I hate the whole
breed. I understand progressive liberals since I was once one myself. I have
had some very nasty augments with conservatives too. You get too
conservative with me at your peril. After all, there is such a thing as the
social contract. Even a nut like Rousseau was not totally wrong about
everything.

That is because you seem to be permanently constipated. Try to express
yourself in a complete well thought out paragraph instead of a single
sentence. Or do you want that we should think you are stupid?

Again, a failure of communication on your part. Try to write paragraphs
where you can fully explain yourself. Or do you want that we should think
you are stupid?

Nope, you are a libertarian whether you realize it or not. There is more to
society than a safety net. Life is full of accidents and the race is not to
the swift nor the fight to the strong.

It is a pity you are so stupid as not realize the basic elemental properties
of what it is to be a human creature on this earth. TM is a simpleton, but
he is far wiser than you.

Apparently it's not. It's been on sale for a while and the reception
has been lukewarm. Well, it seems like a perfect fit for all those
Toyota drivers who can save thousands of dollars, but this article
presents a deeper reason for this lack of enthusiasm...

'Most U.S. roads lack safe travel lanes for cyclists and few offices
provide secure places for employees to lock up their bikes or showers
for employees to use once they arrive at work. Until more support
systems are in place, Gamstetter says, it will be hard to entice new
people to try casual cycling or pedaling to work.

"We're up against the S.U.V.," says Gamstetter. "Culturally, the bike
scene in the United States has a long way to go."'

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/CuttingEdge/story?id=97909&page=3

So we are going to have to live with the same Toyota drivers until
they die or the gallon of gas hits the $8 mark. I just hoped our roads
became more friendly and that only true drivers stayed behind. But
perhaps what those bikes are missing is a good advertising campaign
reminding people that they don't need gas or insurance to ride one.
I'm getting one tomorrow at clearance price (200 bucks, brand new) so
I'll be talking later about the post-revolution vehicle. It must be
easy and reliable, right?

Interesting. Is it too good to be true? The other ones work with

Does anyone know any bike with Browning automatic? It senses torque as

Thanks for that but right now I'm trying to lower my bill from $45/mo,
not increase it to $50. I guess if I had to use a cell phone a lot
this would be a way to use it for both home and car, but I really
don't need to use a cell phone except for emergencies so I just use
PagePlusCellular and buy $10 of minutes every 4 months.

After its recent emergence in the thread "How to calculate increase
of home wireless router range?", readers of this group may find
this useful. [based on a post in comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.storage]


Who or What is Rod Speed?

Rod Speed is an entirely modern phenomenon. Essentially, Rod
Speed is an insecure and worthless individual who has discovered
he can enhance his own self-esteem in his own eyes by playing "the
big, hard man" on the InterNet.

Rod is believed to be from Australia.


Rod certainly posts a lot. Why is that?

It relates back to the point about boosting his own self esteem by
what amounts to effectively having a wank in public. Rod's
personality, as exemplified by his posts, means he is practically
unemployable which means he sits around at home all day festering
away and getting worse and worse. This means he posts more and
more try and boost the old failing self esteem. Being unemployed
also means he as a lot of time on his hands to post in he first
place.


But maybe Rod really is a very clever and knowledgable person?

Clever? His posts wouldn't support that theory. As far as being
knowledgable, well, Rod has posted to various aus newsgroups
including invest, comms, and politics. He has posted to all as a
self professed "expert" and flames any and all who disagree with
him. Logically, here's no way any single individual could be
more than a jack of all trades across such a wide spread of
subject matter.


But maybe Rod really is an expert in some areas?

Possibly. However, his "bedside manner" prevents him from being
taken seriously by most normal people. Also, he has damaged his
credibility in areas where he might know what he's on about by
shooting his self in the foot in areas where he does not. For
example, in the case of subject matter such as politics, even a
view held by Albert Einstein cannot be little more than an
opinion and to vociferously denigrate an opposing opinion is
simply small mindedness and bigotry, the kind of which Einstein
himself fought against his whole life.


What is Rod Speed's main modus operandi?

Simple! He shoots off a half brained opinion in response to any
other post and touts that opinion as fact. When challenged, he
responds with vociferous and rabid denigration. He has an
instantly recognisable set of schoolboy put downs limited pretty
much to the following: "Pathetic, Puerile, Little Boy, try
harder, trivial, more lies, gutless wonder, wanker, etc etc".
The fact that Rod has been unable to come up with any new insults
says a lot about his outlook and intelligence.


But why do so many people respond to Rod in turn?

It has to do with effrontery and a lack of logic. Most people
who post have some basis of reason for what they write and when
Rod retorts with his usual denigration and derision they respond
emotionally rather than logically. It's like a teacher in a
class room who has a misbehaving pupil. The teacher challenges
the pupil to explain himself and the student responds with "***
off, Big Nose!" Even thought the teacher has a fairly normal
proboscis, he gets a dent in his self-esteem and might resort to
an emotional repsonse like "yeah? well your *** wouldn't fill a
pop rivet, punk", which merely invites some oneupmanship from the
naughty pupil. Of course, the teacher should not have justified
the initial comment with a response, especially in front of the
class. The correct response was "please report to the
headmaster's office right NOW!"


What is a "RodBot"?

Some respondents in aus.invest built a "virtual Rod" which was
indiscernable from the "real" Rod. Net users could enter an
opinion or even a fact and the RoDBot would tell them they were
pathetic lying schoolboys who should be able to do better or some
equally pithy Rod Speedism.


Are you saying that Rod Speed is a Troll?

Now, for pretty much the same reasons I favor the Aussie. I mean, the
man is a *legend*. I'm afraid Ed will never have that sort of infamy.

The Aussie appears to me to be a "legend" for reasons to rank him as a
sub-troll under trolls and the Minnesotan.

For one thing, between those two lowly folks, the Aussie is the one that
likes to irritate many others, especially those who work for a living.

I hope the 16-plus-year-old largely-current FAQ on the infamous Aussie
says it well enough!

The Aussie Rod Speed is the expert on puerile shit since he eats it fresh

Sometimes I think CM are coordinated by Big Oil, just to make the

Yeah, speed differential kills but a cyclist on the edge of the road
is not any safer than taking the lane.

==============================================================================

== 1 of 1 ==

From: phil scott


With cataract surgery you have several choices.. a tiny little zoloft
pill or whatever ....you can take it or leave it... and a hypnotic IV
injection, to turn you in to a double zombi.. or you can rough it...
and you get to be sharp as a tack when he jams a big fat needle into
yer eye, right through the pupil from what i could tell.. then uses a
device that sounds like a dremel drill to roto root out yer old
eyeball lens that sits deep in the eyball, maybe half an inch in,

I chose the latter, and a light dose, 20% dose of the hypnotic, no
pill.


they strapped me onto the sit up/ fold flat barbers chair thing with
my hands tied down so I couldnt fight back.... and then the doc
hovered over my face and said... 'stop moving yer eye'

then bam a heavy mashing on my eye with a bright light...and some
fussing around as he penetrated to the very strong but thin sack that
holds the old beater lens... and shot some sort liquid in there so he
could break the lens apart from the sack,,,

then fired up the hammer drill, but he said it was an ulta sonic
probe.and that my cataract was very thick...

probably from all that stress of dealing with various posers and conn
artists all these years in the engineering business, 3/4 of them can't
even do basic arithmetic, let alone algebra these days

. It must have taken him 10 minutes to jack hammer the old lens into
pieces and another 10 minutes to suck it all out through the fat
needle apparatus,


and he keeps telling you to quit moving your eye ball, (I was just
trying to get a look at that the hammer drill thing is all) but all I
could see was three bright lights like you see when you die only three
of them.


then he makes a tiny incisison deep into the side of the eyball,
maybe a 3/8" in, 2 to 4mm incision which I didnt notice...


and pokes a plastic sack full of fluid and the new lense, football
shaped, about a quarter inch long, into the slot and into whats left
of the old lens sack...leaving you with the top part of the lens sack
cut way for good, but the ligaments attached to the side for squeezing
the new lens so you can focus... and he's done. takes 20 min or so.

If you do it without sedation your eye stays in non inflamed mode for
an hour or so ...you can instantly check it out when he's done,,, I
looked at a few magazines, the size 8 print was clear as a bell and
the whites were brilliant white, and my other eye by comparison was
way darker, something like a heavy coffee stain and now way can read
anything other than 14 or 16 size type... the bright blue bag of eye
drops he gave me looked dull grey and faint brown with the cataract
eye, and brilliant blue with the fixed eye,

The next day the surgery eye was all blurry but very bright as the
heavy noninflamtory drugs wore off , its about 30% better now, and
should be clear as bell over the next week or two.


You have to put antibiotic drops, and anti inflamation drops in it ,
various combinations, 4 times a day for a few weeks..

he REFUSED to let me use preparation H in it, . he was very strict
about that and trying so see the little jack hammer thing,, its a
trade secret maybe,

Now looking around the starbucks, the laptop screen is glarring white
I can't see the typing, but looking around the room I can see the
furniture and the people not so bad. about twice as good as 10 hours
ago. the only reason I can type is that the other eye still works
pretty good, but coffee stained.


He said it was partial protiens that had filled the old lens, but
didnt seem to be aware of the amyloid situation...(partical protiens
Ive been posting about also causes alzheimers.).


He said he would do the other eye in a few weeks as long as I promised
not to try and get a look the needle / jack hammer thing while he was
poking it around..
maybe I can stall him next time just before he jams it into the other
eye and get a look at it.

I will let you know how that goes,,
