Difficult journey to Ghana Europe snow now here very intermittent connection speedtest 3kbps (sic) when working. Almost impossible post. Ghana Telecom privatised to Vodafone much worse. Try post tomorrow.

Hi Dreoilin!
No beer here, just my normal tobacco addiction. Cursed stuff!
I haven’t touched a drop. but I did mean LCD.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering
and talking about me behind my back?
tsk tsk tsk! I’m only a little bird. Harmless.
Hi Clark!
The pixels are laid out in vertical rows, regularly spaced. The exclamation marks are vertical lines, regularly spaced. Between them they make an interference pattern, an extra green pixel gets lit every time. A sort of conspiracy!
It looks quite good actually. Not all conspiracies are malign.
It’s interesting that I worked out that MJ was on an LCD screen. Sometimes we impart information accidentally.
Sherlock Holmes beware!
MJ,
I hope you use Firefox. IE is so insecure.
MJ, the fact is that I have looked at the “evidence” that 9/11 was an inside job and when I heard that the phone calls would have been impossible or about the collapse of WTC7 I definitely did think, “Wow! This changes everything” and I looked into it.
The problem was that it didn’t take long to find out that it was simply not true that the phone calls were impossible or that there was anything suspicious about the collapse of WTC7 (it was hit by debris from the collapse of the north tower – a feat that would have been incredibly complicated to pull off if that had been the original plan. It was badly damaged, according to plenty of firefighters, presumably lost much of its fireproofing ability, burned for seven hours until there was a progressive internal collapse and then finally the exterior with no support columns left fell down. The fact that the firefighters had already expected the building to fall down and that its structural integrity had gone is always left out by Truthers).
The odd-but-true factoids about 9/11 seemed to have no coherent direction, they just seemed intent on undermining the “official story” (which Truthers like to pretend is simply a “story” the government fabricated and relayed to the MSM) and through some triple jump logic arriving at the idea that it was an inside job.

Well, I did experiment with Firefox but it seemed to cause problems, occasional freezing and crashes etc, so I had to uninstall it and revert to IE. But there’s a big story today about a new security problem with IE. I’m thinking of trying Safari…
Building Seven boggles my mind.
Has anyone seen “The Hurt Locker”? I’m curious to get someone else’s reaction — aside from newspaper reviews.
Cripes, Anonymous’s first line of exclamation marks is green for me now. I’ve never see that in text before.
Safari is based on Konqueror, from Linux KDE, so it should be securable. If you download Ubuntu Linux, you can burn it onto a CD and boot your PC directly from it, without using the hard disk at all, and thus find out if your hardware is Linux compatible.
Angrysoba, is it a myth that no other steel framed buildings have collapsed from fire and damage?
Sorry Dreoilin, that was me. You’re on an LCD of some sort, too, huh?
Well at least you have a good explanation…
Which is more than I’ve ever got for Building 7.
I’m on a laptop.
Roderick and Anno,
Your “theory” that Larry is an English public-school educated MI6 agent is just silly. This is a perfect example of how your thought processes lead you to believing nonsense.
You believe you can detect tell-tale signs of public school educated prose and yet when it is pointed out to you that he actually writes with American spelling and not at all like an English public school boy you decide that it shows just how clever the secret service are in disguising Larry’s background.
This is just silly.
Dreoilin,
no, I’ve never seen it. What is it about, and did you enjoy it?
angrysoba: I think your account of WTC7 is a little too cosy. It’s a bit weirder than that. No-one ignores the fact that the fire crews were warned to leave. Then there’s the even stranger case of WTC6…
I think the 911 discepancies are a rather more than “odd-but-true factoids” and that the alternative interpretations are somewhat more coherent than you suggest.
We may just have to agree to disagree on this subject, at least until tomorrow. I need to go to bed soon.
That make it LCD?
“What is it about, and did you enjoy it?”
No, it’s about an American bomb disposal unit, set in Iraq around 2004. Someone rented me the DVD. I wondered if anyone thought it deserved the ‘stunning’ reviews it got. Never mind, it’s bedtime.
Angrysoba,
are you having a laugh? You conflate Anno and Roderick’s theories, add a bit, and then theatrically demolish this construction of your own. This is just the sort of behaviour that you frequently object to!
Dreoilin,
yep, laptops have LCDs. Cussed things to fix when the backlight fails. I’ve got three to do.
No, more ‘War On Terror’ hype, by the sound of it. Did you follow those links to ‘The Totally Pants Bomber’? That was a good laugh. It is by a bomb disposal expert who worked in London during The Troubles.
“Angrysoba, is it a myth that no other steel framed buildings have collapsed from fire and damage?”
It’s irrelevant.
In fact it is not true that no steel-framed buildings have collapsed due to fire. They have.
“The 1960 exposition hall was destroyed in a spectacular 1967 fire, despite being thought fireproof by virtue of its steel and concrete construction. At the time of the fire, the building contained highly flammable exhibits, several hydrants were shut off, and the sprinklers proved inadequate suppression. Thus the fire spread quickly and destructively, taking the life of a security guard.[4] A subsequent investigation found major flaws in the design and construction of the building, and led to a much better understanding of how modern steel and concrete structures can be vulnerable to fire.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCormick_Place#History
It’s also a fact that WTC7 was hit by collapsing skyscraper twice its size.
Truthers have sometimes moved the goalposts by saying no steel-framed high-rise or no steel-framed skyscraper has ever collapsed due to fire. Again, this ignores the other factors involved and it simply raises a “So what?” factor to it.
No man has ever gone into space! This was once true, but didn’t stop Yuri Gagarin. No man has ever landed on the Moon. It didn’t stop Neil Armstrong.
You might also note that firefighters weren’t swayed by the argument that no steel-framed high rise has ever collapsed when they ceased firefighting operations and formed a collapse zone around the building and notified the press that the building could collapse. Where was David Ray Griffin to tell them that it was impossible for WTC7 to collapse?
Can we all just go to bed now?
Goodnight Dreoilin,
Goodnight MJ.
I’ll be signing off myself in a bit…
‘The Totally Pants Bomber’ – Is the link on this thread? I go have a look.
Clark, you seem to be on a fast connection.
G’night all …
