I am not kissing up to you, just so you will know it. But today the same thing happened to me. So thar ya go.

lottakatz,

Thanks! I misread JT’s meaning. I took him to mean the patterns appear on his computer but he meant the posts appear–Well, DUH!

Interestingly, a little while back a post showed on my computer that I don’t believe showed on yours until about 10-15 mins. later. I think this because of contextual clues. You didn’t respond to JT’s post but instead posted the same information on another thread. When his post showed up to you, you said something like, I should have know JT would have covered this topic. I thought you must not have seen his post because there were already several comments on it, but you didn’t make one.

Strange. I’m going with the XENU theory.

I appreciate your help on this matter. Have a good evening!

I didn’t see the two stories disappear so: if it happens only on this blog to you and Professor T (and or anybody else) at the same time it is probably a web-hosting problem. The folks that own the servers that host the blog had a problem. It looked to me from the Professor’s reply that he did not have the problem you did so I responded to you specifically.

It could have also been a problem with your Internet Service Provider not getting or actually providing a complete packet of information to its subscriber(s), you. With the Internet information is broken up into packets, distributed and (re)assembled at an end point using the World Wide Web (WWW.) protocols and HTML language.

The glitch could have occurred a number of places since the information for any one page can reside, broken up and transmitted, from a number of physical places. Actually, that is pretty well minimized because the Professor doesn’t have advertisements and other commercial add-ons on his site.

‘scuse me, I’m going to the Wiki for a little nostalgia and literate help in this comment.

How it works. This is from various articles from Wikipedia. Its a ‘how it works’ and very brief history with a few personal comments. Wiki ‘splains it in a proper technical manner far better than I could. Thanks for the opportunity to stroll down memory lane.

From Wiki:
INTERNET – how:
“Packet switching is a network communications method that groups all transmitted data, irrespective of content, type, or structure into suitably-sized blocks, called packets. The network over which packets are transmitted is a shared network which routes each packet independently from all others and allocates transmission resources as needed. The principal goals of packet switching are to optimize utilization of available link capacity and to increase the robustness of communication. When traversing network adapters, switches and other network nodes, packets are buffered and queued, resulting in variable delay and throughput, depending on the traffic load in the network.”

WWW – what/how:
“The World Wide Web (commonly abbreviated as “the Web”) is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a Web browser, one can view Web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them using hyperlinks. Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, the World Wide Web was started in 1989 … a “web of nodes” storing “hypertext pages” viewed by “browsers” on a network, and released that web in December. Connected by the existing Internet, other websites were created, around the world, adding international standards for domain names & the HTML language.

The World Wide Web enabled the spread of information over the Internet through an easy-to-use and flexible format. It thus played an important role in popularizing use of the Internet. Although the two terms are sometimes conflated in popular use, World Wide Web is not synonymous with Internet.[4] The Web is an application built on top of the Internet.”

OLD SCHOOL – ARPANet /Usenet
Packet switching contrasts with another principal networking paradigm, circuit switching, a method which sets up a specific circuit with a limited number dedicated connection of constant bit rate and constant delay between nodes for exclusive use during the communication session.

***The first ‘blogs’ we belonged to (early 80′s)were “Bulletin Boards” that were like party line telephones and most of them were geographically local. Most spread by word of mouth among people that shared a community of interest. You would get an internet address for a BB from someone and email the Sysop and ask to be considered for inclusion on the Board.

The Sysop would want your name and phone number and then CALL you and you would be interviewed. Local Sysops belonged to local and regional councils and had their rules of netiquete and black-lists of people that didn’t play well with others. Sysops could be petty masters and on ocassion were, blacklisting people for personal reasons and adding their names to the regional and national lists of the councils they belonged to.

There were also national message board and newsgroups on Usenet and you could get their addys from the Usenet list. Usenet was nationwide and anonymous, as it still is today. ***

From Wiki:
“During their heyday from the late 1970s to the mid 1990s, most BBSes were run as a hobby free of charge by the system operator (or “SysOp”), while other BBSes charged their users a subscription fee for access, or were operated by a business as a means of supporting their customers. Bulletin Board Systems were in many ways a precursor to the modern form of the World Wide Web and other aspects of the Internet.”

Early BBSes were often a local phenomenon, as one had to dial into a BBS with a phone line and would have to pay additional long distance charges for a BBS out of the local calling area. Thus, many users of a given BBS usually lived in the same area, and activities such as BBS Meets or Get Togethers, where everyone from the board would gather and meet face to face, were common.

****Nice parties, yes indeed! – Girls nights out and a dip in the hot tub to straighten up before you drove home- it was the 80′s baby! There was a great sense of community on the early boards due to the physical proximity. It was a really fun time.****

From Wiki:
“Usenet is one of the oldest computer network communications systems still in widespread use… conceived by Duke University graduate students Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis in 1979.[1] Users read and post public messages (called articles or posts, and collectively termed news) to one or more categories, known as newsgroups…. Usenet resembles bulletin board systems (BBS) in most respects, and is the precursor to the various web forums which are widely used today; and can be superficially regarded as a hybrid between Email and web forums. …”

I immediate considered Xenu’s power as well. People on this blog have shown disrespect so I consider this the most likely anwer to the problem.

Would the things you said apply to JT also? He said his computer does the same thing as mine. That’s what makes me think it’s not a problem with inside my machine’s ghost.

I don’t understand how this case was decided at all. It seems a real miscarriage of justice.

One would hope that there is some mechanism in the law that allows a miscarriage of justice of this magnitude to be rectified. Ms. Strong needs some justice done and I wish her well in the next trial.

It sounds though like it would be an automatic basis for an appeal of whatever the next verdict might be, by the defense. How often is something like this judges actions upheld on appeal?

Jill and JT, It was no doubt Xenu, angered by the appearance of disrespect being shown to his one true church on this blog. A little-known divine proclamation from Xenu states “All your pages are belong to me.” You have been warned. There is though sacred underwear that might help you ward off another attack.

It sounds like a web-hosting glitch (from the web-hosting site, not the blog host) or an incomplete load or refresh from the Temp Internet Files on your computer Jill. You can check your ‘Tools” menu, Internet Options, Advanced, and make sure your option “Reuse windows for launching shortcuts [when tabbed browsing is off]” box is checked if this keeps happening and you use a version of WindowsHome. While I am not a tech wizard- the better half is but he’s napping- I do have a passing knowledge of PC and Windows based glitches. Some automatic updates and unplanned program terminations will re-set your preferences to (unwanted) defaults.

I am mystified by this pattern. They appear on my computer. I am a chimp at this stuff, but I cannot explain this occurrence. Perhaps one of our tech wizards might have a suggestion or two.

It may be fixed. Do an f5. It should reset it.

Take a look at the previous thread on this story on this blog. You will get the facts from the people who lived them and the lawyers involved. That is the beauty of this place:

http://jonathanturley.org/2009/01/13/strong-ruling-jury-rejects-claims-by-woman-who-went-into-hospital-for-kidney-stones-and-lost-all-four-limbs/

If Texas can set aside the Stipulated Agreed Order by Ford, I guess a lot of things are possible.

In the instant case I would like to see If the Judge actually made any ruling or had set up the Jury to return such a verdict and this was a ditch to save himself?

“jim nossich:

“I will now wait for some very creative yet ineffective appeal to be filed as a last ditch effort to hold people responsible for something they are not.”

*********

Overconfidence about outcomes on appeal makes for foolish-looking lawyers with fewer clients. As to your comment about my bias in favor of plaintiffs, I plead guilty.”

You know what, I do like being an “I told you so,” and JT you have made my day with this story, maybe my week. I hope Ms. Strong or her husband will chime in as they both did in the previous thread. I am overjoyed that natural justice had the power to move these guardians of the status quo on the appeals court. Emerson was more right than he knew when he said, “Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.”
