pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mircea_popescu are you paying the lovely folks over at qntra ?
pete_dushenski: actually, this raises a question i might've missed in the logs...
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: ah so we are measuring traffic now? whats next, installing windows on our servers? << next is paying people to write for qntra instead of assuming they gangsta like us ;)

pete_dushenski: nubbins`: ask an albertan what he thinks of a quebecer << albertans think that quacks have the super duperest most corrupt construction industry and the the highest taxes imaginable. both of these are true, but only relative to the rest of canada.
mthreat: if so, you can probably go by the law library of the school and ask the person behind the desk to help you learn how to research what you're trying to research.
mats_cd03: but it might be helpful for me to learn more about it, so i appreciate the advice
mats_cd03: my understanding of the digest system is shallow, and i've been hesitant to do any serious filtering in the event i miss something
mthreat: not sure if this helps... maybe you already figured it out.
mthreat: You can then take taht west key number, and it cross-references other cases relating to that same issue.
mthreat: right. So let's say you have a case that is relevant to whatever topic you're researching, for example, search and seizure of a vehicle or something. At the start of the case, it lists all the west key items, and 1 or more of those will be for the search and seizure aspect.
mats_cd03: i'm currently using westlaw, which is referenced to the west key system
mthreat: so anyway, the west key system is a classification system. These days it's like 'tagging'. Each case is tagged with a set of "west keys", which are numbers that indicate what aspects of law the case relates to.
mthreat: first, it's been 15 years since I did this. I was in prison, so books only, no computers. But I'm 99% sure the west key systems is still teh same, it's just online now. (It was online then, actually, but I wasn't).
mats_cd03: i'd welcome any advice you have to offer
mats_cd03: i suspect i'm overlooking something simple, but i guess ill figure it out after i get through a few more judges
mthreat: mats_cd03: ok.. I asked because I did legal research and wrote briefs for 4 years.. maybe I can give some advice on legal research methods. Like using the West Key system,e tc

BingoBoingo: Have the outer shell of the mechanical bull be the musculature of a bull and issue the same challenge
BingoBoingo: If the animal rights people get worried about the bull developing ptsd because it killed or mained a crowd on television, substitute a mechanical bull.
BingoBoingo: One ton of well muscled bovine fury versus scared members of the genus homo?
BingoBoingo: Probably not. The boll probably remains intact.
thestringpuller: wouldnt the bull just die?
BingoBoingo: I am tired and on the verge of a food coma, but I wonder... When in the name of extremitude and derp will a cooking reality show feature competitors trying to carve a tenderloin filet steak off of a live bull.

ben_vulpes: they had plenty of computers back then!
mircea_popescu: well if you count handiwork then sure.
ben_vulpes: you can do some amount of trajectory planning by hand, too.
mircea_popescu: how ? they didn't have good computers in the 50s, they weren't much inclined to use them, etc. im betting they used the artillery method
ben_vulpes: i suspect trajectory planning had lots of sims run. fuel combinations, maybe a few.
ben_vulpes: i never got a good answer on how much monte carlo work went into the 60's space programs during the design phase and how much was back of the envelope estimating.
