... office. Yet, John McCain has spent a career carefully nurturing an image of independence from his party. Will he overcome the tarnished Republican brand? Nobody knows. Those uncertainties are what ultimately make the polls almost meaningless. Pollsters don't offer us their raw data; they weight their results in various ways -- by age, party identification, past voting records, etc., in order to make their samples conform more or less ...

... clock frequency and beyond. I take it you mean broad band. Baseband is an entirely different thing. And you claim that "I don't see you as having the technical competence"? Broadband is a meaningless term. Baseband is baseband. It means that the low-end frequency is 0MHz and that there is no upper end. I trust that you'll realise the significance of this on the relative probabilities of sources of interference. ...

... on your stated intent not to respond noted. I guess that thing about "do not let the fact that future replies fail to appear in alt.magick snooker you into concluding that such replies do not exist" is meaningless since the responses do in fact appear in alt.magick. This is a problem with most of you lazy fucks hoping to exacape reality through obfuscational metaphysics. You think you can solve problems by simply trying to hide ...

.... Two in fact. So to make things completely transparent: Strategy 1: Use delta storage Stragegy 2: Use full block storage Common to both strategies: Check-in/check-out is necessary otherwise version control is meaningless, rollback is describes in context and the *strategy* for rolling back is very simple in both cases. The *strategy* for retrieving a version is clear in both cases although slightly different and the multi block ...

... by allowing consumers to buy insurance from sellers anywhere in the country. So a requirement in one state that insurers cover, for example, vaccinations, or annual physicals, or breast examinations, would essentially be meaningless.
