Can someone explain to me...

Posted By Maurice Clark
Hi Joe,

This study might give you some idea of why. It indicates that Bu$h supporters live in a different world than Kerry supporters, when it comes to a range of issues. Very interesting report.

It's gonna be a nail-biter

Posted By Maurice Clark
Hi Paul,

Does this mean that it will all depend on the weather??!!!??? 8O

ie fine weather means more people might head out to vote. A raging snowstorm might keep more people home!!!! Anyone seen a forecast for "battleground states"?? shocked grin

Cheers,

Maurice

Meaningful prediction time

Posted By Maurice Clark
Hi Jim,

Thanks for the invitation to play!! wink

From what it looks to me, it all comes down to Ohio and Florida. Florida I would punt on going to Bush. Ohio could go to Kerry because of the unemployment problems, but that does not seem to be showing up in polling, so it could also go to Bush. That would give Bush 274 and Kerry 264.

As a guess at the popular vote;

Bush 48.7%
Kerry 49.1%
Others 2.2%

Cheers,

Maurice

Hi Mike,

Nazareth is not mentioned in the Old Testament, the writings of Josephus, or rabbinical writings. However, that does not mean that it did not exist before 60AD. Not every small town and village in Israel is mentioned in early writings. What is needed are archeological diggings at the site. Unfortunately this is not possible now as the site is now a very large town.

Re: What you fail to note in the Saddam/Hitler Pos

Posted By Maurice Clark
Hi Ray,

Saddam wasn't the first brutal dictator we have supported nor is he the last.

Interesting you should mention this. I have just returned from a training seminar where one of the other lecturers mentioned that during his sociology class, one of his students who was from Nicaragua wrote in her paper about how bitter she was about "the USA-sponsered terrorism" there that destroyed her family. ie the contras.

In her eyes, the USA is as much a supporter of terrorism as any Islamic nation.

PHOTOSHOP QUESTION

Posted By Maurice Clark
Hi David,

The most likely cause of this is the format of the image. Open the image and then go >Image >Mode and see whether the image is 16bits/Channel or 8bits/Channel.

In order to save the image as a jpg, it must be 8bits/Channel.

If this does not solve the problem, try >flatten image<.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Maurice
