Lol, Australia is not suited to long term storage of nuclear waste.

Prepared to line up for microchipping to keep the waste safe?

Pity that what you start with does that even if you leave it in the ground.

Not all nukes can be used for weapons.

Thats a lie with countrys that dont have their own coal.

Which might just be why the frogs generate most of their power using nukes.

Pig ignorant lie.

No thanks.

No point, its perfectly possible to make it completely safe from everyone.

So does the raw material, so what's the problem with returning it to
the ground it came from?

Why pass up a chance to make some money in a safe and logical fashion?
I'm sure other countries will be quite happy to kick the politically
hot football of waste as far as possible.

Yeah right, i can really see a terrorist group camping out in the fly
ridden scrub digging their own hole down however many metres the waste
will be buried and dragging up concrete encased drums of the stuff.
I'm sure the security forces would love to see that too.
You make a good point with microchipping though, it'd be good-oh if it
saved some of the ID hassle that comes along the path of life.
It'd be real good if they linked it with medical records too so i
could easily move from doctor to doctor.

Man, you're some piece of work, Rod.

You're right. Off the top of my head, I can't cite where I read that
digital signals can't be amplified; but I know I could find it if I
were inclined to look. This is an informal discussion, not a formal
debate. You challenged my information, which I originally qualified
and freely admit could be wrong. Unlike you, I'm able to admit that.
Common courtesy would dictate that you let me know where I'm
misinformed, not just dismiss me as a dim bulb who doesn't understand
what he reads. In fact, I'm quite a bright guy and have all the
academic and professional credentials to prove it, if it were any of
your business. I've been involved as a hobbyist with consumer
electronics and home entertainment systems since transistors were new
technology. I'm no expert, but know considerably more than the average
person.

On the other hand, you've made nearly 42,000 usenet posts in only two
years. Your claim notwithstanding it seems to me you don't get out of
the house enough to know very much about anything. Given your
attitude that's probably a good thing. If you deal face-to-face with
people with the same manner as you post, your nose will be punched so
many times it'll be just a smear in the middle of your face, and
you'll have to breath through your mouth.

As far as I'm concerned you know nothing about anything. You make
stuff up as you go for whatever perverted pleasure you get get from
the reactions to your posts.

I'm through with you now. Sayonara, asshole.

All you need to know about Rod- He is a welfare recipient who suffers
from a personality defect that prohibits him from from admitting errors
and convinces him that he is an expert on everything.

I'm sure you're right!

Every rare once in a while he'll make what seems to be a valid,
logical contribution to a discussion (probably when he's on his
meds). The next time he pops up he's on one of his insulting rants.

Trying to engage him in any kind of meaningful conversation is like
trying to teach a pig to sing; you waste your time and annoy the pig.

Bet you cant.

And even if you can find some fool that claims that, I know you can,
because I amplify mine fine. Because I continued to amplify after I
made the change to digital when that showed up and it worked fine
and because I run 4 digital capture cards so need to amplify it so
that the last card in the chain does get enough signal. If I turn the
amplifier off, that last card can fail to acquire the channel.

Odd that you demanded a cite from me, and
try running that line when I did the same to you.

> You challenged my information, which I originally

But were stupid enough to try and claim that what I said
was 180 degrees off from what you claim to have read.

> Unlike you, I'm able to admit that.

I dont have anything to admit in that regard, since I have understood the
basics for decades now and have actually tried what you claim isnt possible.

> Common courtesy would dictate that you let me know where I'm misinformed,

And that is precisely what I did.

> not just dismiss me as a dim bulb who doesn't understand what he reads.

I only did that when you tried claiming that what I said was 180 degrees away from
what you had read. I dont believe that there is that much gross misinformation out
there about digital, so the only possible explanation is that you didnt understand what
you read and its easy to see what you may well have mangled into what you claimed.

> In fact, I'm quite a bright guy

Easy to claim. Hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim, particularly
if you dont actually cite where you claim to have read those claims you made.

> and have all the academic and professional credentials to prove it,

Easy to claim. Hell of a lot harder to actually substantiate that claim.

> if it were any of your business. I've been involved as a hobbyist with consumer
> electronics and home entertainment systems since transistors were new technology.

But clearly dont understand enough about the basics to realise that that
claim about not being possible to amplify digital cant possibly be true, when
so many of the systems that are used with digital do have amplification.

> I'm no expert,

Thats always been obvious.

> but know considerably more than the average person.

That may be true, but you still utterly mangled the story with digital.

> On the other hand, you've made nearly 42,000 usenet posts in only two years.

Like it or lump it.

And that has absolutely no relevance what so ever to what is being discussed anyway.

> Your claim notwithstanding it seems to me you don't get

Or I can read and reply quite quickly and have plenty of time of other stuff as well.

I wouldnt have spent more than 30 mins on usenet today, and that isnt at all unusual,
and have been out twice already doing other stuff, and have had a visitor on other stuff too.

Even someone as stupid as you should be able to grasp that
there is lots of time spare with 30 mins used in a particular area.

Nice theory, how odd that its never ever happened once and the visitor
showed up looking for assistence with a computer problem that I have
clearly helped them with to their satisfaction quite a few times before.

Its completely trivial to check what I said about amplifying digital, fuckwit.

That fool has been told countless times that I have never ever accepted
even a cent of welfare in my entire life, and that I am rolling in it, and dont
expect to ever qualify for welfare anyway since ours is means tested.

I just put the boot into fools like you that try to bullshit their way out of their predicament
when their nose has been rubbed in the terminal stupidity of their claims.

Never ever could bullshit its way out of a wet paper bag.

The above is stage 1 in a Rod Speed debate and it is his way of
saying he can not back up his claim. Stage 2 occurs when a link is
posted that shows he is wrong and he whines "irrelevant" or "bullshit".
You know you have really gotten to him when he replies with the flushing
bot.

And you qualify. How could one imagine you are gainfully employed?
When you start a job these things happen:

You are given instructions. Since you know everything you can not
abide by them.

You have questions. see above.

You make mistakes and are called on them. You never admit to error.
