I think you made some good points in features also.

Are these things you’ve had your hand on the pulse of for a long time, or are you always discovering new things? You amaze me!

me? i have a memory like that (but in some other areas i forget things completely. i dont know why). and i am always reading new things. though most of what i read is science related. history wasnt my strong point other than through family history.

the internet though makes my memories more concrete or amplifies them… in other cases i sometimes am just lucky. information seems to just pop up serendipitously. (and we have remarkable facilities to link things)

most of it is memory and my covering a broad swath of stuff. i spend a lot of time reading and have done so since an early age. internet just made a lot of it free. though i used to read more textbooks

tell you the truth i am mostly bored, and don’t have a drive to mischief (actually quite the opposite). so lacking funds i study, and study and study, and do my own work and i get lucky in other things (like the photography, or other odd job i did). most of the time i have very little outlet for the things i discover, solve, and or figure out, not to mention what i create with my skills. not much outlet.

but some friends get a kick out of it… and its more fun asking me than going to the library. and sometimes lucky people can get what they need to make a big buck. and i am pretty damn lucky. sometimes bad luck, some times good luck, all kinds of luck. lot o luck of all kinds 🙂

so there you have it.. boredom is my secret.. 🙂

i have also heard said that i was efficiently lazy
and suffer from ART – a socially acceptable obsessive compulsive disorder. i also suffer from innovating/inventing/solving a condition not socially acceptable until it turns cash. 🙂

NO requirement for the Russians and Chinese(for God’s sakes)to stop modernizing, R & D, etc. Only us. This loathsome twit is a cancer on our might, our 1st place, our strategic thinking-planning and our influence on Tyrants watching their step.

I agree that Gates appears to provide some adult experience but his real role is to give Obama cover. As we can see from the new nuclear posture, Gates finally caved to Obama. And. Obama used Gates concession to trump Palin (not too successfully). I think it better if Obama did not have Gates’ cover. Let Obama stand by his policies without having Gates to throw under the bus. After all, is Gates really keeping Obama from doing stupid things?

In such accidents all documentation is studied by commission with participation of specialists from both countries involved, there is no possibility of cover-up or deliberate desinformation.

I read in Der Spiegel that the Russian air traffic controllers even notified Belorussian authorities to try to get the plane to divert while it was in their airspace. Also the Smolensk airport was closed at the time because of the fog. There should be lots of recordings to back this up if 2 countries were involved.
