17 Jan 12 - 08:42 PM (#3291857) Subject: RE: BS: Is BS Doomed??? From: Donuel Hidden within BS are prose, poetry, lyrics, novels, paintings. films and perfopmances as well as a graphic explanation of what and where dark energy/matter is. You see although DE/M is a omnipresent one dimensional super gravitational string like dimension, its expression of mass can be seen as E=MC2 just as in our visible dimensions. The explanation of its ability to pass through itself as well as our space time is elegant and simple and explains why the graininess occurs at quantum scales as well as the acceleration of the visible universe. Should BS be lost, the progress of science and civilization itself will suffer a 100 year setback. C'est la vie. |

17 Jan 12 - 09:56 PM (#3291894) Subject: RE: BS: Is BS Doomed??? From: JohnInKansas The recent downtime of mudcat was several hours judging by the last posts before, and the resumption of new posts. The rather significant diffence between the number of "top" and "BS" posts that returned should tell us something about differences in the regional distribution of the most prolific posters for the two sets. The 'cat went down fairly late in the evening, when "sensible" BS participants might have retired (unfortunately, those are a small sample?) and came back up possibly at a peak time** for Euro areas. (I haven't looked carefully at the time zones most likely, and probably won't this time.) ** Prior observations have shown that the biggest "hump," if the frequency of posts is considered, generally is at about the time Londoners would be arriving at work and have the perhaps more powerful office computers at their disposal and nothing much else to do. There's often a lull when one might expect they slip out of the office to go for the morning brew in the same time zone. No statistical analyses to indicate correlation reliabilities have been done, however. The "Aussie bump" seems possibly correlated to when they arrive home from the evening pub, but the sample is quite small so that hump is barely visible most days. Correlation with changes in coherence by time of day has been suggested as a distinguishing feature, but would require fairly sophisticated study, and likely would not reveal much about the Aussies, since they seem pretty consistently incoherent (to the rest of us) all the time. The US spans too wide a range of time zones to identify specific peaks in postings. Those attributable to USers are more of a random splatter not suggestive of any useful curve. John |

17 Jan 12 - 10:50 PM (#3291922) Subject: RE: BS: Is BS Doomed??? From: Donuel I haven't smoked in 15 years, not that I don't want to. But being dyslexic from day 1 has made all my perceptions overwhelmingly geometric in nature and has coalesed into a very real cosmological construct over the last few months that satisfies many questions regarding dark energy/M. I am not delusional about this model I have mentioned. I realize I am mathmaticly illterate and am but a speck, an unimportant person and insignificant in any acknowledged cosmological achievment. But so far the damn thing works as a thought experiment that accounts for our gravity, "its gravity" and the accelerating expansion , which is not a repulsive force but actually so omnipresent that most of it does its "pulling" from the bulk of the universe which has no center but a very large surface. Also the acceleration of space time opens the door not just to black holes or entropy but a unique ability to communicate with the past as a real active reality. With technology the same is true of the future within certain limits of hundreds to thousands of years. Metaphoricly speaking... To make a "Time Phone" work, one must first physically place the twins of many quantum duality particles at a location in which you want to communicate in time. In a way its like having to build the telpone lines first but without space warp travel it would limit the distance into the past or future communication to months or years instead of centuries and millenium. Sorry its not like you could walk around in the past and look over Beethoven's shoulder. It works more like a telegraph than a time machine. Opps I digress, but I do have a cogent presentation that is every bit as simple and compelling to novices and advanced cosmologists alike. IF there is a fundamental flaw, at least it has been fun. Bobert, could you care for Shrodinger's cat for a couple days? |

As I heard it from some trusted people, Spaw got outrageous and talked the way he does and the thread deteriorated in quick order. He was banished for a day to the BS section which didn't exist, so Pene, Joe and Max started it. Thus the term BS--or Below the Salt. Trust me on this, Eliza. That's the way it was. |

18 Jan 12 - 11:22 PM (#3292582) Subject: RE: BS: Is BS Doomed??? From: Amos Despite what many might think, Rapparee's inufferable egotism is well known across hundreds of nations all over the world. Rapparee's inufferable egotism has been around for several centuries and has a very important meaning in the lives of many. It would be safe to assume that Rapparee's inufferable egotism is going to be around for a long time and have an enormous impact on the lives of many people.test for introduce3 Social & Cultural Factors Rapparee's inufferable egotism has a large role in American Culture. Many people can often be seen taking part in activities associated with Rapparee's inufferable egotism. This is partly because people of most ages can be involved and families are brought together by this. Generally a person who displays their dislike for Rapparee's inufferable egotism may be considered an outcast. Economic Factors It is not common practice to associate economics with Rapparee's inufferable egotism. Generally, Rapparee's inufferable egotism would be thought to have no effect on our economic situation, but there are in fact some effects. The sales industry associated with Rapparee's inufferable egotism is actually a 2.3 billion dollar a year industry and growing each year. The industry employs nearly 150,000 people in the United States alone. It would be safe to say that Rapparee's inufferable egotism play an important role in American economics and shouldn't be taken for granted. Environmental Factors After a three month long research project, I've been able to conclude that Rapparee's inufferable egotism doesn't negatively effect the environment at all.

I thought BS meant Below Stairs as it was back in the old days when servants quarters were situated away from the gentry of the house. |

19 Jan 12 - 10:00 AM (#3292785) Subject: BS Section REFORMS From: Donuel Reforms for BS section. (proposed by HLS) One could easily enhance the BS section to further reflect society as a wholw, media and the socio economics of the world by creating a TWO TIERED system whereby 1% of the BS section will be exclusively posts by Amos, Rap, Little Hawk, catspaw, Bobert, gnu, Sandra, kat, Tam, Ebbie and the three Johns. Probationary members of the 1% will be named in the fullness of time. The 99% of all other; infrequent posters, toadies, disbelieved, hangers on, neer do wells and the downright peculiar will be allowed to post in their own BS2 section exckusively where they may praise the 1% AND/OR create pro ethnic and pro sectarian subdivisions within the BS2 section. The pro ethnic and pro sectarian sections will actually serve Anti sect and anti ethnic groups such as the BS mudcat Bund, Mother of everything anti American, anti Irish threads and further subdivisions right down the line until each individual has their very own BS section in which they are in total agreement, except when a person wishes to disagree with themselves. The upper 1% of the privileged BS section will resemble broadcast news in which polls may be cited about the 99% but decisions based upon verified rumor will be done via Private Messages. The ability to edit, expand or delete BS1 posts will remain sacrosanct. Grounds for reprimanding contributors of the BS1 section will include; Not taking the loyalty oath. Refusal to site one's source. Not attending at least one getaway every 4 years. NO removal or banning of members of the BS2 is needed since the sensibilities of the 1% are protected by permanently filtering out any poster in the BS2 section with one click. In two cases BS2 members continued to post for over 7 years, despite the fact of being completely and uniformly filtered. These 2 individuals only saw a cached version which seemed to include their own posts but was actually unseen by loyal members. The 1% compassionately reserves the right to use such methods for specific posters or even the entire BS2 section. (restrictions may be suspended for secret santa threads or fund drives for the 1%) |
