filed under "great minds think alike": once gave my best friend my take on a world event, and a day later HST give the same viewpoint, almost word-for-word, on a TV interview show.

one of my finer hours...and a witness, too.

[have tried to find the interview on the 'net, but, alas, it still remains elusive.]

but worry as i am/was a fan of him...chris cornell...robin williams...

HST and Joan Didion are the two writers I most regret not meeting.
(My mom went to elementary school with Didion)

Implement HSTS headers and HTTP/2 support?

*beg I happen to like autotune and the HST deserves the spotlight. C'mon people!

I read this book in 1996 and fell in love with it. In 97' I got out of the military and was working at a psych hospital in northern AZ. Me and my wife decided to drive to Vegas. When we got onto the freeway I noticed this paper sign with "Fear and Loathing" printed on it. It had an arrow pointing in the direction we were driving. We got onto the highway and kept passing up these fake cacti. I told my wife "those look like the artwork from the book!" We passed up the production crew at one point. It was just strange being a huge fan of HST and driving right threw all of this scene on my own way to Vegas.

I had a conservative friend give me a PJ O'Rourke anthology, describing him as a right leaning Hunter S. Thompson (because he knew how much I liked HST). I got about 50 pages in before abandoning it. Terrible.

The very high angular resolving power will be achieved when used in conjunction with a ground-based system of radio-telescopes and interferometrical methods, operating at wavelengths of 1.35–6.0, 18.0 and 92.0 cm. With its Earth-based companions, it will form a network able to provide detailed images of the universe at 1,000 times the resolution attainable using the Hubble Space Telescope. -wiki

The title is quite misleading. Hubble is a visible/UV telescope, where this one is a radio telescope. They image completely different parts of the spectrum. Think of the comparison of the ground-based VLA and VLT telescopes: quite different instruments.

Yeah, how can any radio telescope be remotely as sharp as a visible light telescope? At that frequency it's hard to get high angular resolution from a single dish.



Ok, that's believable. But the title and summary clearly imply that this single instrument will be 1,000 times sharper than the HST.

My thoughts exactly. I'll stick with Redmonton.

ah BC. Home sweet home. Lowest paying wages, highest cost of living in the country.

@dystopianfuturetoday, HST is what you get when you combine PST and GST. Make sense?

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

Hunter S. Thompson? Hubble Space Telescope? Health Sciences and Technology? High Speed Train?


If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Neither can we, that's the point- if you follow.

Classic. I miss HST.

All I know is British Columbia picked Canada Day to institute the Bix New Added Tax "HST"

That's 12% added tax to every Goods and Service in BC
So much for our economy!

"Consumers will now have to pay 12% HST on all goods and services on which they previously paid 5% GST"
Thank You Mr. Campbell - You Bastard!

I looked into this a couple years back and found some credible stuff basically saying he wasn't working on a 9/11 story anymore - don't remember if it was never in the works or if it was dumped. Wish I could find that info now, because I was convinced at the time that this murder conspiracy was a non-story. I'm a big HST fan, so it would've been fun for me to believe in a mystery like this.

As far as nobody hearing anything, I do remember his son saying that he was downstairs, Hunter was upstairs, and he heard what he thought was a book hitting the floor, which was actually the gunshot.

The biggest mystery to me, though, if true: When he was discovered, a single word was typed out on a page on his typewriter: Counselor. Wonder if that had any meaning to it, hmm...

I have read a bunch of Hunter S Thompson books and always enjoyed them. The details surrounding his death, however, were always a little confusing for me. As far back as I can remember his wife was on the phone with him, he was talking about finishing some sports column and put the phone down a second then didnt get back on it. The fact that she, who was waiting for him to get back on the phone, and her son, who was upstairs at the time, both didnt hear a gunshot was suspicious to me. I dont know how much putting a gun in your mouth muffles the shot but it just seemed odd that neither person heard it. My opinion is there had to be someone else in there with a silencer.
