Newton didn‘t discover calculus... it was Leibniz! Leibniz, I tells ya!! :D Fave mathematicians would be J.B.J. Fourier and Pierre Laplace... for the Fourier series and the Laplace transform.. but that‘s what you get for asking an electrical/communications engineer.. lol

good luck! Yeah... 5k isn‘t near as scary, once you‘ve done it once...

ok... thanks for the info...

I was wondering... how closely in line is the Harvard step test (to measure cardio-vascular health) with the CF step test used during PT? For those unfamiliar with the Harvard, ref: http://www.brianmac.demon.co.uk/havard.htm Thanks...

I don‘t think he should meet the shrapnel... on the other hand, if he puts up a struggle.. and it is a dangerous place... accidents do happen.. wink wink nudge nudge... Death is too good for these terrorists...

w00t! Hopefully it is him, and the scum can be brought to justice... not saying what kind of justice that is, though... >:-)

Sounds like sound advice... sort of like not wearing a tie near a lathe... ouch! Thanks for the advice though... I would have thought just to put it on the id chain... never really thought about it breaking...

Another thing I could suggest (only because my wife has found this out) is there are on-line boards like this, specifically for Wives of military personnel. Since I don‘t like plugging other websites on a forum like this, send me a private note if you want, and I can get the URL for you.

Good luck to all you soldiers being sent to Haiti... Come back safe, mm-kay? :D

Che... I can see both of your parents arguments. I also take off/put on my ring.. same with my wedding band... force of habit, I guess. The significance of the ring? There are a few things.. taken from http://www.ironring.ca/ The ring symbolizes the pride which engineers have in their...

Che... Bummer. did he ever get it replaced?

lol... You need to be able to meet the basic requirements before you go to basic training... they will test you on this, just like they test you on the CFAT... If you can‘t meet the basic requirements now, get working at it!! and Good luck!

chk2f... You think you don‘t have time now as a first year, hey... :-) What disciplines are you looking at?

Yeah... I went ti Island Ink Jet before Christmas to get my black cartridge refilled.. Did a fine enough job... helluva lot cheaper than a new cartridge...

I totally agree with you on that one. I pray that defense spending goes up... but that is fodder for another thread, hey? As for the first hand account of an Al-Qaeda/Iraq link.. well, I cannot argue that. All I have seen of this is what has been filtered through the various biased news...

From a seasoned debater like you Infanteer, this is a real compliment. Thank you. On to business... :) I have no answer for you, because you make a very valid point. In an ideal world, the rules of engagement would be followed, and commuter jet planes wouldn‘t be used as missiles, aimed at...
