Janie, first of all call the local police in Burlington, Vermont and make a complaint. They'll be obliged to pay a visit to Davison to check it out.
Hi Dave. Daddy says that although DAJ is technically quite blatantly guilty of a felony in two countries, it's probably not worth pressing charges on a drunk old washout. He's in need of psychiatric treatment, and he'd probably die before the case came up for trial anyway. He needs pity and hospice care, not a jail cell. As I'm sure you're aware, Daddies are always right. :) - jb

Dear John,
Everyone makes mistakes. Calling you a friend was one of mine. You're contemptable piece of shit which everyone who knows you discovers sooner or later. Even your children won't have anything to do with you except one reborn drug addict daughter with whom you faked believing in God so she'd talk to you. Has she figured out you lied to her about believing in God yet just so she'd speak with you?
To everyone else, John's reappearance here is my fault. I'd tried not abusing him on his own blog for a few days and he apparently needs the abuse in a bad way so he came here, the only place he can be himself (Dembski would ban him in a heartbeat) other than his own blog where I'd chance upon the shit that spews out of his diseased mouth. My apologies. I've resumed abusing him at his own blog in the hope he'll leave you nice people alone.

Once Dembski got rid of you he promptly invited himself to fill my asshole. I still haven't been bungholed yet today. Why don't you resume treating me with your usual contempt and see if you can't con Dembski into bungholing me. Come on. For once be a man and tell them all at Uncommon Descent about what a fool I am and a chicken shit, lying two faced hypocrit. You won't open your foul mouth for me there or at brainstorms either. You are the kind of man I love so! I hope my family eats my shit and leaves for another man's family. It speaks volumes about my lack of character.
Take me boys. I am all yours. You have earned me.

Since the ATBC crowd follows this thread I wanted to, with apologies to dear Janie and Kate for presumption usurptation, use it clear up something that annoyed me.
I apologized to JohnnyB for inadvertantly deleting his comment while cleaning up "off-topic" comments in my old dogs thread on UD. I was being polite. The only comments deleted were Davison's pathetic cries of protest over me mentioning his name in the article.
Go figure. Davison dared me to mention his name on Uncommon Descent then when I do he complains that I did it. What a spineless little creep! Davison, if you can't take the heat, get the fuck out of the kitchen. And don't dare me to do things then complain if I dare, ya creepy miniaturized turd.
I have it on good authority that Davison's days are numbered on UD if he can't be civil with me there. The authority is the person (not O'Leary by the way, that was another of Davison's lies) who actually invited John back for comic relief. Davison, while his hypotheses surrounding organic evolution are really the best I've seen, is otherwise such a belligerant homunculus that everyone laughs at him. Too bad the laughter infects opinions of his evolutionary ideas. If Blipey could be as entertaining as Davison is he'd have his own comedy show on HBO. Unfortunately Blipey is average stupid belligerant which isn't really funny, just pesty.
Unfortunately for me I'm too late to win the pool. I suppose I'd have to recuse myself in this situation even if I was still in the running.
So who IS still in the running?

Dembski didn't invite you back, John. Neither did Denyse O'Leary. Scott did. He told me you made him laugh hysterically and that's why he did it. I know for a fact Dembski think's you're a nut and I sure haven't heard O'Leary say you weren't. I continue to be one of the few people in the world who doesn't think your hypotheses regarding organic evolution are the ravings of a lunatic. But otherwise, you ARE certifiable. An idiot savant. Off yourself so I can speak well of you in memoriam when you can't open your mouth and make me look like an idiot for saying something good about you. I'd really like to but as long as you're alive to fuck it up I won't. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

So, Dave, I was wondering, doesn't Denyse have problems with you being back on the masthead at UD, since you were, if I recall, the one who coined the term 'Morphodyke'? Actually, that was me who hung that appellation on her. I'd appreciate credit where credit is due, thank you very much. :) -jb I think you also made some elaborate joke comparing her face to a dog's butt, no? She doesn't, uh, 'hold a grudge' about this?

I can spoonfeed this stuff to you but at $5 per spoonful you'll go broke before we get through the first day of Political Science 101. But hey, at least I will no longer care if you continue to make stupid clown faces and spit it out.
Why don't you pay me $5 and I'll give you the title of the political science text my college professor used to teach the course. You might want to buy this first just so the poly sci book isn't a waste of money.
P.S. I noticed VoiceOfReason was blacklisted at Uncommon Descent. Evidently I'm not the only one who thinks you're a stupid pesty clown. Unfortunately the anonymous proxy trick I gave you doesn't automatically get around registration systems which is why it's so much trouble for me to post comments on After The Bar Closes. Speaking of the anonymous proxy trick - you're an ungrateful stupid little clown. I help you out with something and you repay me by being an ingrate. You're fucked up, Blipey. What a loser. Are you on public assistance yet? If not, you will be. It's inevitable with people like you that people like me eventually end up supporting you.

Is $5 more than you can afford? Would an installment plan help you around your financial hardship? Take a tin cup, hold it out on a busy street corner, and then just be yourself. I guarantee in no time at all you'll be able to afford to have me answer a question for you.

Now, for those of you who don't wade up- or cross-thread, this question was formed as a response to DaveScot's assertion that people should always be able to decide what's good for them (specifically in regard to public education).
So, the hint, in form of hangman (I'll provide a couple of letters since this exercise is proving difficult for DaveTard):
The first group that can claim a majority is the

I'm sorry but I can't cut you a deal on the price of the final letter in your next incorrect answer but at the rate you're going we might be able to work out a volume discount.
Maybe one of your slightly smarter playmates will feel pity and tell you for free why parents and voters aren't "ostensibly the same group". And don't try to use big words like ostensibly. It just makes you look even more clownish which heretofore I hadn't believed possible. Fuck you're ignorant. You could make a real killing as an entertainer if you'd ditch the clown makeup, put on a suit, and act natural by pretending to know things.

Hint #6:
We recall that DaveTard is trying to answer the question:
What criteria might exist that allow the majority to always be correct in its decision making?
The context of this decision making is public education. Now the next hint about why DaveTard's inability to answer this question is funny:
What specific group do you think should make these education decisions?
-
On 8/22/2006 03:43:00 PM, DaveScot waxed damned near poetic whilst opining...
-
Alright, this is getting tedious and I already hinted at the answer when I told you one of the criteria was being 18 or older.
The people who should make the decisions about their local public schools are the registered voters in the school district in question. Generally that's everyone:
1) residing within the geographic boundaries of the school district and,
2) is 18 or more years old and,
3) is not a felon (most states) and,
4) are U.S. citizens and,
5) have registered to vote in public elections.
I'm a voter registrar in my county, by the way.
Ostensibly this is who elects representatives to the school boards and they in turn are expected to vote in a manner more or less copacetic with the wishes of the people who voted for them. That's called representative democracy. You'd know that if you weren't a poster child for what's wrong with social promotion.
In reality these righteous deciders of local public school issues have their decisions nullified or overridden by federal judges and federal legislators who do not reside within the school district and for whom the people who do live in the district aren't able to vote for.

Well, come ON, Dave, consider it a test of Davison's character! If he can't restrain himself, he doesn't DESERVE to post at UD, right? Besides, would he necessarily get canned at UD for misbehaving at other sites?

Blipey,
Define "correct" in the context of things that people vote on in local elections. Your question makes no sense to me. Ballots aren't tests with correct and incorrect answers. Have you ever participated in gov't anywhere in any capacity?
-
On 8/22/2006 11:35:00 PM, blipey waxed damned near poetic whilst opining...
-
Ah, now we're getting somewhere. I agree that elections are not the same as written exams. While there may--theoretically--be some perfect answer to be found on a ballot, I think it would be way too complicated (or impossible) to figure out what it might be or if it exists.
That being said, there are certainly areas that are not gray in elections. If you recall, the conversation at that point revolved around who should make public education decisions and "flat Earth theory" came up.
Now, you seem to say that the majority should always rule. If a majority wanted to teach "flat Earth theory", would this be correct? Should we allow it to happen? Are there any actions we would be justified in taking to prevent this theory from being taught in public schools?
Yes, in the above paragraph "correct" still has some ambiguity. I can see several equally valid arguments here. I would like to know what you think.

Paris Hilton's wealth is inherited. That doesn't correlate well with being smart. Self-made wealth does. And I don't think I'm wealthy. I'm financially independent. But so are hobos. It's really a matter of lifestyle. I just happen to invest in things that I can enjoy and improve while owning them. For instance, instead of stocks and bonds I own a private beach and I'm anchored offshore of it in a largish motor yacht right now as we speak. My work for tomorrow is applying ArmorAll on the seats of my yacht tender (a 270HP, 17 foot jet boat). I also noticed some broken bolts on the dock and will be replacing those too. I dashed over to Home Depot and got all the hardware at 7pm today when I noticed. I had to get a new battery for my DeWalt cordless drill. Boy they really stick it to ya on those. $70 for one new battery. I agonized for about 10 minutes on whether to spend $70 for a new battery or $170 for a new drill that comes with two batteries. The old drill is 6 years old but works fine. I bought just the single battery. A full day's work out in the hot Texas sun manana. I love it so! I've got the big boat up for sale. I maintain it myself and its become a bit of a ball & chain what with it being on a private beach with a private dock. The dock is the real problem. I'm going to rent out the dock when the boat sells (the rental income will pay the property taxes which are getting ridiculous and I'll still have use of most of the beach and all the land). The boat should sell at a small profit - about 20% over four years. The cost of materials has gone up substantially in the last few years due to higher cost of energy. I got lucky there. Plus I've added a lot of improvements to it. It's got wicked good electronics in it now from entertainment to ship's systems. I'm going to buy a used motor home next and do some travelling. Never buy these things new. The first five years are a period of rapid depreciation. With a little luck and some elbow grease making improvements, when I sell the motor home it'll be at a profit too. The beach and attached acreage was unimproved when I bought it. Between me clearing the land, grading the beach, putting in a 500 foot concrete driveway/boat ramp from road to shore, running water lines, electric cables, and TimeWarner cable to the dock, I've substantially improved it. Cutting timber and hauling it out by hand is one fucking tough job. I don't think I have it in me to do that again but I wanted to be able to say I cleared my own land with my own hands just like my farmer ancestors did. It's worth several times what I paid for it and I enjoy the hell out of it. That's my kind of investment. Working outdoors at hard manual labor is good for my health and profitable too. I'm tanned the color of a walnut and strong like a bull. Joints are acting up a bit is the problem. Quite a change from the pasty flabby me that sat in a cubicle at Dell 6 years ago. Life is good, Blipey. Too short but really, really good. Don't fritter it away clowning around.

Blipey
Your notion of correct is naive. You've watched Star Trek the Movie too many times. Spock: The needs of the of the many must outweigh the needs of the few, or the one. It's fiction, Blipey. DUH! What creates the most amount of good for the group as a whole is usually impossible to calculate. For instance, what's a better use of money from a bond issue - raising teacher salaries or putting in a computer lab? Or no bond issue at all and leave the taxpayer's money in the taxpayer's pocket. Everyone has a different idea of what's good and what ain't. Individuals can sometimes make that determination for themselves but doing it in a group doesn't work. Are you a friggin' Marxist or something? Marxism has failed everywhere. Some people (most if you ask me) are greedy and there's no getting around it. Greed consigns Marxism to failure. Capitalism in a democratic system thrives on greed so it works out pretty well. The best thing going, comrade.

"If a majority wanted to teach "flat Earth theory", would this be correct?"
Correct how? Politically, scientifically, morally?
It's correct for the people who want to teach it to their children morally and politically. Scientifically it's not but it's none of my business to force my minority opinion that scientific accuracy trumps everything else onto a community that feels otherwise. I'll send my kid to a different school or perhaps inform him at home that flat earth theory is fucking nuts and don't believe a word of it. The bottom line is it's not unconstitutional to teach bad science. It's a shame but if that's what the majority wants then as a devoted disciple of democracy I'll have to live with the majority decision.

DaveScot: "The people who should make the decisions about their local public schools are the registered voters in the school district in question."
And in the United States, that's how most decisions are made — within the confines of overriding public interest. For instance, all jurisdictions must provide a free public and compulsory education to children. They can't exclude or segregate according to race or religion, no matter how deep rooted their cultural traditions might be. And when they call a class "science", they are required to use it to teach science.
DaveScot: "Scientifically it's not but it's none of my business to force my minority opinion that scientific accuracy trumps everything else onto a community that feels otherwise."
What is taught in the science class should be science, not a subterfuge for religion. It is always wrong to teach children lies. Flat Earth is not supported by the scientific evidence. And if was introduced as a subterfuge to teach Creationism in the science classroom, that would constitute another and far worse lie.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
It's wrong to use the public schools to proseletyze a religion, and is oppressive to those who may not hold the majority religion.

Kate,
Are you out yet? In the immortal words of Joan Rivers "Can We Talk?".
Hope you had a great time in London. I spent a week or two there installing a computer system in the Bank of Paris (London branch). A client put me up at his home. It was weird - his home was 400 years old and the garage 600. The last time either had anything "modern" added appears to have been 100 years ago at least. There was church visible from the house that was 1000 years old and the paving stone road leading to it was put in by the Romans. A pub just a few doors down the street was made of logs, the interior ceiling couldn't have been more than 6'6" and was built partially sunk in the ground - only about 3' of it was above ground level. I didn't do any sight seeing while there. Just worked and drank lots of beer. It seems like no one I met after lunch was sober.

Hi Kate!
Welcome to the wonderful world of inactive duty in the USMC. The view in the rearview mirror gets better and better as time passes. There's a mid-life crisis that comes when you realize you're too old to enlist again even if you wanted to. Then after you've been out for 20+ years and know you'd be retiring if you stayed in there's another kick-myself-in-the-ass period but otherwise it's a great thing you never, ever forget. There's no time in my life with memories as deeply forged.
Actually I don't know the hurricane drill. Never lived anywhere they were a threat except perhaps 3 months on the island and hurricanes never crossed my mind there. I would've welcomed one if only it blew away the sand fleas for a while.

Hi All!
We actually took a break from hurricane duty yesterday (it was miserable hot!) and I left a comment in this thread, but it got lost somehow. Janie didn't have the energy to try and track down the glitch.I'm hoping this gets through. Poor girl is exhausted.
Dave said:
"The view in the rearview mirror gets better and better as time passes."
I'm looking forward to the view in the rearview. I thought about how I'm going to feel in the year when I would have retired, and I guess I'll worry about that then.
Actually I don't know the hurricane drill.
Maybe not, but I'm sure you remember preventative maintainance. Samey same. If it's a weapon or a car or a helicopter or a house, it's all really the same. Take care of it, fix it before it breaks and lets you down.
We're getting rid of dead branches, loose debris, putting away the patio furniture, yada yada yada.
New batteries for the radios, plenty of dry food in the cabinets, check the generator, repair the chainsaw, (I broke it), might as well trim the hedges, fix the storm door, clean the gutters... You get the idea.

You offered to be my teacher in computer science. Having been a hardware and software design engineer for over 20 years, the last 7 of which as a key engineer at the most successful computer company in history while it went from $1B to $40B in revenue, I think it's fair to ask what your qualifications are to be teaching me anything.

Dave, I offered to be your teacher in AI – the fact you’ve conflated it with ‘computer science’ and your naive previous posts on brute force searches highlight your conceptual shortcomings. I understand your that insecurity makes you want to compare resumes (although not pictures – you slighted Ed Brayton’s, yet we don’t see yours) – but I have a rule of not feeding trolls personal information. I don’t purport to be an authority or world class expert – but evidently I know a shit load more than you.

Paul Allen, Bill Gates, and Mike Dell are fellow alumni with me. Bill got a SAT score of 1590 and Paul a perfect 1600 so that explains why they made more money than I did with my 1480. But I did okay. I'm not sure what Mike Dell's SAT score was but he's Jewish so that explains that.

"I was just offering to help Dave out. He has a veracious appetite for learning, so I thought he'd like some modern thinking on the subject."
No sir, what you have been doing is baiting Dave into a pissing match. Dave has always conducted himself respectably here, except when someone like you comes here and baits him into a pissing match. Knock it off, or find yourself on the receiving end of the Big Green Marker.
"You know, your mate Dave who threatens Blipey with violence. Complicity and all that."
Both Dave and Blipey are regular commenters here, even though they have both crossed the line from time to time. We let them slide a bit more than others because they contribute here. Even Janie's getting a annoyed by it all, though.
Blipey is a big boy and seems quite capable of taking care of himself. He has yet to complain to us about his pissing matches with Dave. When he does, we'll decide what to do about it. (That is NOT a license to continue, Blipey and Dave!) Any more comments about fighting or violence will be deleted with extreme prejudice.
I swear to fucking god, sometimes you all remind me of a bunch of teenage boys bragging about your dick sizes, and making "yo mamma" jokes. Or a bunch of Marines bragging about your jobs, and which is more manly.
Maybe there would be more important discussions here if you all traded some of your testosterone for some estrogen. I'll bet you could get your doctor to prescribe you some birth control pills. That might help. I like my men manly (and bald), but I don't like teenage boys who have to brag about how big their dicks are.

Apparently. Your point about credentials is correct. But, out of respect to others who may be interested in the actual topic at hand, I have found it best not to take the troll bait. (Of course, the topic of this thread invites trolling. My comments are meant generally.) Most personal blogs lack the multithreading capability of newsgroups, so it can be difficult to find actual content when the thread is cluttered with extraneous discussions.
Hey, I'm not perfect and I'm not a member of the thread police. (The greenmarker is in someone's else's capable grasp.) A great deal of latitude has been given to us by our hosts, and we should try to respect that. I hope that we can continue our scientific discussion on a future thread.

No, It was a genuine offer to teach (a noble thing) which I am now withdrawing. I’m afraid your telepathy is off, ladies. Nice blog, though.
Dave – you’re so good at fighting you carry a gun? Says it all. The point that ‘violence is bad’ seems missed by you (and others, again). “by the premier institution dedicated to the art of human slaughter in the world today” – you were taught to fight by abotion clinics or stem sell researchers? Scary stuff.

Anyhoo – I don’t think our personalities will let me teach you AI. It’s a shame, I was going to start with tic-tac-toe based examples (very small search spaces) and move on from there.
Just as a technicalility to this thread, JAD asked to see:
“Show us all your cellulite ridden overweight asses”
You claim, “DAJ asked for naked pictures of me.” – the two are not the same, I believe his request could be perfomormed partially clothed.

If that is indeed the case, we both humbly offer our apologies. It came off very much like snark.
"the two are not the same, I believe his request could be perfomormed partially clothed."
And we do indeed realize that they are technically different, however consultation with the world's greatest former lawyer (ok, I'm biased about my Dad...) brought up the question of what a reasonable person would reasonably assume.
A reasonable person would reasonably assume that a request for photos of cellulite accumulations on an ass would imply a naked ass. At least it would be a reasonable argument in court.

I have to agree with Rich in that Davison's request would be difficult proving beyond a reasonable doubt was a lewd request. A fat ass (which is a fair interpretation of the cellulite ass) need not be bare to fulfill the request. The barer the better of course, don't get me wrong.
But I think it only fair that a judge and/or jury make the determination so please file that complaint and give the system a chance to work.

I took the PSAT in my junior year of high school, scored the highest in my class, and won a New York State Regents Scholarship based on the score. The scholarship was only good at the State University of New York (SUNY). I only used it for a single semester as I only spent 6 months in New York after I got out of the Corps. The Vietnam Veterans GI Bill paid enough for me to attend college in Southern California which is where I lived from age 19 to 37.
I graduated from high school at the end of my junior year and joined the Marine Corps. If I had to guess I'd guess that the SAT score I attained at the end of my enlistment was lower than it would have been had I 1) prepared for it and 2) not been 4 years removed from an academic setting. I took a few classes at Pepperdine College of Business in the corps but they were business courses and it's doubtful they helped to get me back in the groove for a SAT exam.
Regardless, I've always been far more interested in goofing off and
partying than anything else I can choose to do with my life. Not born with a silver spoon in my mouth that meant I needed to make a lot of money with minimal effort so as to not need to exert any effort for the rest of my life. I made that plan in the first grade. I told my first grade teacher and she told my mom in a parent/teacher conference. I later refined the goal of becoming a financially independent slacker by age 35. It took me until age 43. Engineers are always overly optimistic with their schedules... LOL

That you drone on about your SATs and finances is probably just a sign of insecurity in the presence of more educated and capable participants.
You seem to be under the impression that only place one can acquire knowledge is a university campus. That's SO typical.
Where the rubber meets the road isn't how you know what you know it's what you do with what you know. A meme that makes the rounds in Austin, Texas is that we have the largest per capita number of PhD's in the world who are waiting tables in restaurants.
I applied my knowledge to become a key engineer in the world's most successful computer corporation and was rewarded with the financial equivalent of 3 single-recipient Nobel prizes and I didn't have to wait until my hair turned white to get it. Feel free to tell me what you've done with what you know. I predict that, like Rich "Big Lad" Hughes, you'll decline. That's typical too.
Pfffffffffffffffft! Loser.

Can't you cellulite laden, overweight, intellectual nothings do anything right?
Can't you over-educated academics find work that pays more than truck drivers earn?
That's a rhetorical question in case you were wondering.

Experience is the preferred qualification for engineers except at entry level when you have no experience. I'd guess you've either never been employed as an engineer or you're an entry level engineer. I see you declined to reveal anything about yourself just as I predicted. Must be pretty pitiful in comparison, eh? LOL

Dave wants a pissing contest? Sorry Dave – having read your claims I’ve compared and found your life wanting. Modesty prohibits me from vainglorious diatribes such as yours. I’m also much younger than you, so I have more race to run, so to speak. The main thing is if *you* are happy with your lot. I’d also suggest a more holistic life-view, Blipey seems to have it together – I’d suggest him as a positive role model; our gracious hosts, also.
I guess ‘big lad’ is journalistic. So is ‘Davetard’.

Without a name, just empty claims.
The SAT test was recentered in 1994. Scores post-recentering are considerably higher than before. High IQ societies require 70 points higher on the recentered test to meet entrance criteria. You took the SAT in what year?
Maybe you should see if you can arrest Dell for employing me with the title Senior Engineer. Some deep pockets there.
Seriously, you are conflating computer engineering with other types of engineering like designing bridges, running trains, and twiddling with the dials in a nuclear power plant. Certification as a professional engineer is required in all states that I know of for the latter trades and none for the former.
Only losers think incentive stock options that pay big are a lottery. It makes them feel better about themselves. I was a consulting engineer for Intel in the past and had many excellent references as I'd been designing around Intel x86 CPUs and peripheral chips for more than a decade at smaller companies before going to work for Dell. That was part of the experience and references that Dell considered before they hired me. Experience talks, bullshit walks.

My primary responsibilities were motherboard design (component level) and bios coding (assembly source level), by the way. I think you have some misconception that I was an MCSE. Not even close. My days were mostly consumed with debugging prototype motherboards with an o-scope, logic analyzer, and in-circuit emulator. I know Mike Dell personally. He loved to prowl the R&D labs back in the day to see how the new designs were coming along. When we got our first DOS prompt on a newly designed motherboard it was traditional to send an email to Mike announcing the milestone. MD would also participate in the test & qualification phase by using pre-production products in his office. He was a real propeller head.
