    Facebook list management question

    In a sense I guess, but not exactly :) How about the whole myFriends/workFriends thing? Thought there was a way to separate into those two groups and work people could only see my posts and other work people posts, no? I kinda thought this would just be an extension of that, but with only one...

    Facebook list management question

    Hey all, I've been reading that I should be able to set up multiple lists of friends on facebook... and manage them pretty tightly. What I'd like to do is have a 'marginal friends' group - ie, add someone as a friend, let them see everything and even post/comment - BUT, if they...

    Rope break strength question... want to build a tire swing :)

    Here you go... http://i.imgur.com/dkRQo.jpg The diameter is around 13-15" at the bottom, probably 10-12" or so around 20' high, but I haven't laddered up to measure it yet.

    Rope break strength question... want to build a tire swing :)

    I was planning on sheathing the rope in some rubber tubing where it wraps around the trees to protect both surfaces... I guess the girdling might be a problem, but I don't think these trees are going to grow much wider there for the span of time the swing would be up...

    Rope break strength question... want to build a tire swing :)

    Hmm... maybe it's not so bad? I ran the numbers with that formula on the wiki - their chart goes to 120 degress which is 71% of the load. When I ran it with 170 degrees it worked out to 101% of the load. ...so, if my load is 300#, each of the almost horizontal ropes would be loaded at...

    Rope break strength question... want to build a tire swing :)

    Yeah - I was going back & forth between a horiz rope of chain, but the chain is so much more $$$

    Rope break strength question... want to build a tire swing :)

    haha, I get that - gravity doesn't matter :) I'm talking about the tire hanging vertically down from the middle of a horizontally strung rope. It won't be perfectly level, I'm sure there will be a couple of feet of sag in the middle, so how much would that angle reduce the load capacity? If...

    Rope break strength question... want to build a tire swing :)

    Hey all - Been years since I took the physics classes where you figure out the weight break for ropes, chains, etc... figured some of you guys were probably more current on it! I seem to remember that a rope breaks easier with a perpendicular load than with a horizontal load & I kind of...

    A couple of questions about a quiet video card...

    I wanted to keep it as cheap as possible - maybe $40 or under...? I had been watching the 4350 deals go by, but I think that cards slower than the 1650 I have now - the throughput on that is 8gb/s and the 1650 is listed as 22gb/s - unless throughput isn't the measure to be using...

    A couple of questions about a quiet video card...

    Hi all, I currently have an ATI x1650 pro which is getting a little flaky - it has 2 DVI outputs that I have connected to two flatscreens which both have DVI and DSUB inputs. I'm looking to get a new card - is there a card that would perform better than this one but that has passive...

    Friend moving from the US to Mumbai for a year...

    He's not tech... he an artist type guy who does post production for movies. Worked in Hollywood for years, but now the bottom is dropping out of that market & someone turned him on to the need for his skills in the Indian market... turned out to be true I guess - they made him a great offer.

    Code for converting tsql joins to ansi joins

    Only 24% Voters Know Cap And Trade Is About Enviroment

    Nope - the vast majority will make out... for every $100k you make after the 1st $100k, you have to find 6 less fortunate souls and pay for any additional expenses that cap & trade may cause them. If you mail them their checks instead of transferring the funds electronically you _will_ be able...

    Senators Consider Soda Tax to Help Fund Health Care Overhaul

    Just heard them talking on the radio about a recent study that shows not getting enough sleep causes cancer. Guess we're going to have to get everyone some sort of monitor collar & levy a fine if they don't get their 8-10 hours per night.

    Turns out the 911 operator in Pittsbugh did not warn officers who showed up

    Pretty sure the mom was lying about the firearms being legal... I read that his girlfriend got a PFA back in 2005 which I think prevents him from owning guns in PA.

    H1B Visas banned under Tarp

    DEMS now oppose renewed AWB???

    Simple solution - usage of a gun in a crime = mandatory death penalty. Throw in the decriminalization of drugs and gun murders will be on par with death by lightening.

    Government releases UFO files

    It's really a matter of probability, no? There are an estimated 10^24 stars in the universe... if you guess at the average star having 3 planets you get: 3,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 If 1 in a million planets can sustain life that leaves 10^18 life supporting planets...

    Looking for some good, shortish books for the kid...

    He's above average (6th grade) but only really read in the past when he had to... however, he really took to the hardy boys books & a couple of other mystery type books over the past few months. I'm trying to stoke that fire & encourage his interest in recreational reading by coming up...

    Looking for some good, shortish books for the kid...

    I think the teacher put the limit there to avoid kids spending all there time on a couple of long books (ie, Harry Potter) and instead wanted them to get exposure to a wide variety of different themes & styles by different authors. I guess I see the point, but like you implied most of the...

    Looking for some good, shortish books for the kid...

    Thanks for all of the replies - I've read a lot of those & while they're great book most are > 100 pages... that's the problem I'm having pulling selections out of the books I have here. I am going to pick up a couple of the three investigators books - those seem to be a safe bet.

    Looking for some good, shortish books for the kid...

    Hey all - My son, 11, has to read around 20 books & do a brief report as part of his school work this year... Mystery's seem to be his favorite - he's read several of my old Hardy Boys books, but then found out that he can only do 2 books per author for the reading requirement. Anyway...

    Bush admin adds non mortgage credit to the bailout

    I'm not in favor of the bailout, but I read this in an op-ed piece... can't remember where. Said that instead of just paying the companies for near worthless securities that they'll probably never collect on anyway, they should pay the debts to the companies FOR the person that owes the...

    A wife cheats on her husband

    The whole alimony thing gets better too... It seems somewhat common for the women who are drawing alimony to not remarry - even if they're shacking up/in long term relationships/having kids with another guy so that they can keep receiving alimony.
