I just got a notification from IPB (the makers of the LAVA site script engine) that there is a new version of The downloads script (Code Repository) currently in Beta. There are some new things in there. Here's an excerpt of their announcement which indicates the most usefull features in my opinion: Having multiple files is great. Now we can have files for various LabVIEW versions or even one zipped *.zip version and a packaged version *.vip.

Ok... I guess it could've been one of *my* LabVIEW classes. :-)

On this snowing, cold, wet day, stand aside, watching others fighting each other, it actually feels warm and fun. Sorry, maybe I should not tell the world this "true" feeling.

This thread is getting weird

Okay, so then I need to apologize to hooovahh for thinking someone had called him an underling, and to crelf for second-handedly calling him nefarious and potentially irksome. And I definitely apologize for the worst insult of all: calling crelf "Senior Management".

I'm sorry Paul lately I've found your posts offensive and frustrating but I won't tell you to stop posting, and I'm not going to report you, you can post what ever you want. I've never been one to argue because I'm not good at it. In many arguments the "winner" is the one who complains the loudest and hurts the feelings of others the most. I don't see very many reasons to yell, and I definitely don't see a reason to hurt other peoples' feelings. If you want to make this argument about my seniority I suggest making a new post since it would be off topic. My seniority is low, and it is not the first time you have taken a personal jab at me with this argument. But what I don't understand is why you would find it more productive to attack your fellow engineers on a personal level, rather than defend the argument this topic was created for. I also don't understand what my seniority as a software/electrical engineer has to do arguments on climate change, or even a observation of similar stying posting between two individuals. I can post just as many articles online claiming that global warming is real, as you can that it isn't but I'm not going to post them because I can't defend their integrity or their data and neither can you. I see you're posts just as useful as googling "global warming hoax", while my argument is to google "global warming facts" and have the individual decide.

I recently heard Judge Napolitano (sp?) spek to this point and we still have some options. 1) There is an option for states to refuse to enforce fed laws. I believe the Whiskey Rebellion was an example of this as well as what California is doing with marijuana laws. Under normal cicumstances the fed leans on the sate thru funding to force tehm to comply. 2) I believe a majority of states can call for a constutional congress. 3) Supreme court case to challenge the previous finind of teh court that found that the "commerce" clause of the consitution gave congress the regulate everything that COULD cross state lines. This is being tested in Texas (thanks for Ron Paul by the way!) re"Guns manufactured and used only in the state are not regulated by teh fed as well as some other states. If they did call for a consttuional congress some of things that I think could help 1) repeal the 17th (?) which made snators elected rather than appointed. 2) Term limit. 3) Abolish seriority rules that prevent a real "Mr Smith goes to Washington" Ben

Mega-Kudos to you Paul for keeping the thread updated. I do not have the time to do the research and your posts are very helpful. I also feel you are performing a public service by keeping this thread alive. Speaking for myself, I wish I could say more or express my thought better. I see the myth ( I though long and hard about that word and until the numbers are published, or other knowlege surfaces, I have a hard time accepting it as a fact) of GW/CC as a threat to mankind (as stated in the waring linked above) and therefore am obligated to do what I can to raise the alarm. Whenever the emporer king parades around naked someone has to have the intestinal fortitude to say he "has no clothes". Ben Edit! Another quote by Thomas Jefferson " All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.

I heard a report on the radio yesterday that the American Physics Society sent a letter regarding legislation regarding global warming. And I thought I would never have a good reason for writing them a check every year. Ben PS LAVA just needs 32 more posts to exceed a U16 to represent the total # of posts!
