I got an ibm thinkpad in August of 1999. Within a couple of months my right hand was starting to cramp up. "no problem", I said, and I switched to using the left hand on the track point. Then after a bit both hands were cramping up. So I started to switch back & forth. And then the pain gradually spread to typing too, and it hasn't gotten better yet.
So switching mouse hands was, for me, a disaster - I should've changed pointing devices, or my usage patterns...
... is recorded forever and is available to me. The secret is in learning how to access it. Move beyond "physical is all there is" - and the horizons really open up - because what if your physical brain memory storage is complemented by another non-physical storage system?
NASA _should_ scrap the ISS, now. Don't OS/2 it. (Pardon me while I put on the flame retardant suit.) Sure, a lot of money has been dumped into it. Fine. Leave it there for a while and if we can figure out a way to use it well, then go ahead.
remeber that someone did spend at least $5,000/pound to put that metal up there (possibly much, much more, depending on low earth orbit vs. Geosync orbit - pdf on launch costs here. Surely it'd be worthwhile to devise a means to "recylce" that material in orbit, rather than just letting it burn up in the atmosphere, ala MIR. hah, maybe I'll take my secret space yatch up there, and tow the damn thing off to a personal scrapyard somewhere. 393,733lbs @ 5,000/lb = $1.97 billion, just to get the metal up there. I know you didn't suggest letting the ISS burn up in the atmosphere, but it kinda sounded to me like that was what you were implying..
...but if your computer is causing you pain, I speak the truth:
check your insulin levels (no, it's not about diabetes)
learn how to relax (body asleep/mind awake)
get some exercise
It's taken me three years to put this puzzle together, and that first point is probably the most important (I learned it last week, and cutting out the carbohydrates has already started to make a difference). email me if you need more guidance, i'll be happy to dish out some knowledge..
links: on the subject of insulin - invert the frickin food pyramid why relaxin' is important - and some suggestions for getting started
the exercise one - well, that one's kinda obvious, but is worthless without the other two.
The Brainwave Generator is the Windows equivalent of the same. While not freeware, the shareware version is nearly fully-functional (you can't load someone else's presets, until you register). I've used it a bit, and it does work pretty well..
A couple of weeks ago I was in a used bookstore, and happened across a copy of Robert Monroe'sFar Journeys, which spends a few words on the subject of time travel. Mr. Monroe was one of the first people to write aboutOut of Body Experiences in western society. To make what could be a very long post much shorter - time travel is real, it can be experienced - you just need to learn how to leave your physical body behind. OOBE's are just another way to hack your wetware. To quote the K5 story, "... anything is possible, when you have root access to your mind's/dev/."
Most of the people here rarely talk to girls (no, its not flamebait; im one of them), let alone marry them! Buy her a diamond ring you idiot!

whoa.. I know you were just kinda kidding, but really, that'd be awesome. On one of my mailing lists, there was recently a post about a guy who could multitask his body/attention. He'd be doing one thing on the chalkboard with one hand, doing a completely different thing with the other hand, blah blah, I found the email so here it is:
(I take no responsibility for what I'm about to post - what you do with the following information is your own business. Be warned that you could seriously screw up your mind...)
This Multiple Mentalism course is a revised version of the course originated by Harry Kahne in the early 1920s. At that time he was billed as The Incomparable Mentalist and The Man with the Multiple Mind.
He often demonstrated his ability on stage by doing six different mental operations simultaneously. His platform performance entailed standing in front of a large blackboard with a piece of chalk in each hand while conversing with the audience. There was a newspaper on a music rack in front of him. He began reading the headlines while writing upside down and backwards with one hand and mirror language with the other hand.
At his left was another small blackboard on which appeared the number 28,642,981,673 --- which was being divided into five unequal parts --- these figures he began computing at the bottom of the large blackboard. To his right was another small blackboard on which appeared seven columns of figures which ran into the millions. These were being added and notated as well at the bottom of the larger blackboard in front of him.
This was Harry Kahne's demonstration of doing six things at one time, i.e., reading, transposing, writing backwards and upside down, holding a conversation, adding and dividing. These six separate processes actually involve fourteen distinct operations, i.e., hearing questions, answering questions, reading a newspaper, transposing what is read, transposing spelling, writing with right hand, writing with left hand, writing upside down, carrying six different thoughts in mind, retaining questions, retaining figures for addition, retaining figures for division, proving previous work and controlling all other physical actions of the body --- such as walking, bowing, etc..
At the end of Harry Kahne's demonstrations, people often asked him, "Do you really believe that nearly everyone can learn to perform the amazing mental feats you demonstrate? Is my brain capable of carrying on four to six independent functions at one and the same time, as yours is? Isn't the ability to master your training confined to well educated people?" When answering, Harry Kahne admitted he had only an average brain to do things no other man in history had done. Education had no bearing on it.
so playing quake against yourself should be no great feat - one personality gets the left hand, the other gets the right hand (i guess you could split the eyes too - is binocular vision important for the fps?)...
As with acupuncture, explaination loco, results unquestionable.
X-rays: explanation loco, results unquestionable (pictures of internal structures of a human body! damn!). Oh shit, I'm ~107 years too late for anyone to take that statement seriously... (first paper on x-rays was published in 1895)
...maybe it will be get US Government off of its sorry ass, stop underfunding NASA...
So much money is being spent on the so-called "war on terror" that to increase NASA's budget would drive this country into bankruptcy even faster than is already progressing. the budget deficit is currently at $120 billion, double that to allow for "creative accounting". [maybe even higher?] National debt at around $6 trillion. Yeah, that's never going to be paid back...
>>Movies are getting more and more expensive (2 people = $8 tickets x 2, popcorn = $4, 2 drinks = $7, candy = $4 = 16 + 4 + 7 + 4 = $31 just for the movie experience).<<
Simple solution: don't buy the popcorn, drinks or candy, and you've saved yourself $15. Have dinner before you head out to the theater, and not only will you not be hungry for popcorn, but you could have eaten something healthier to boot.
... if you get an arizona photo radar ticket in the mail, it will include a paper for you to sign & a SASE (self-addressed stamped envelope) for you to return it in, acknowledging that you received the ticket. If you don't return the acknowledgment, you don't have to appear at court, and they can't do jack, unless they want to serve the ticket in another (more expensive) manner. Of course, they'll bill you for the personal service, but I don't believe they do that (send out sherriff to serve photoradar tickets) all too often..
There's a downside to fluorescent tubes. They flicker at the power-supply frequency.
Flickering depends on the type of ballast that's being used to drive the flourescent light:
Ballasts are electrical devices that convert line current into the proper voltage, amperage, and waveform to operate fluorescent lamps. The mix of ballasts has been shifting steadily toward more efficient equipment over the past 10 years. High-efficiency electronic ballasts now represent just over half of new ballast sales in the U.S. and are expected to continue to grow in market share. Electronic ballasts are the best choice in most applications today, both as replacements for magnetic ballasts in existing fixtures and in new installations.
There are two basic categories of full-size fluorescent ballasts (Figure 1 shows both types).
Magnetic ballasts provide output power to the lamp at line frequency (60 cycles per second in North America and 50 cycles per second in many other regions of the world).
Electronic ballasts use semiconductor technology to convert incoming 60-cycle power to drive the lamps with high-frequency current of 20,000 cycles per second or more. Electronic ballasts are more efficient in a number of ways. Most notably, they waste less power internally than magnetic ballasts, saving 3 to 8 watts per ballast. Their higher frequency drives lamps about 10 percent more efficiently than do 60-cycle magnetic ballasts. And those electronic ballasts with dimming capability save energy in multiple ways, from lumen compensation that eliminates the need to overlight spaces when the lamps are new to the tens of percentage points in savings that come from reducing electric light levels when daylight is available.
The article goes on to discuss when each type of ballast is appropriate. (electronic ballasts can apparently interfere with some electronic equipment, etc.)
I like your post, but how would the notion of stolen identities play into this? what really happened has links to stories that a number of the supposed "saudi suicide terrorists" were turning up still living - i.e., they'd had their identity usurped. Specifically, why would someone want to implicate saudi arabians in the attacks? (genuine question, i'm just thinking out loud here)
In other words, how can you make a moral case about any cure when charging outrageous prices for it?
There is no cure for "AIDS" for which to charge "outrageous prices", only caustic drugs which purportedly slow the progression of the diagnose of "HIV+" to "AIDS Patient". Nevertheless, some people become long term patients - typically not because of some drug, but because they have some purpose in life. http://www.aliveandwell.org
Does anyone know much about the current status of Magic Johnson? (NBA basketball player, announced he was HIV positive ~1991, retired from the game, still living). He has/had an interesting ritual - sold everything he owned every morning ('cause he has "HIV" & that means you'll be dead at any time, right?), only to purchase everything back when the day was over and he was still alive. I'm wondering specifically if he takes any drugs for the "condition"?
Many, many "absurd" ideas have turned out to be closer to "reality" over history than "common knowledge". X-Rays, Quantum Mechanics, Nuclear Fission, etc.
The burden of proof is on you for making an outlandish statement.
Group think: most everyone's beliefs go one way; beliefs of people that do not conincide are labeled "outlandish". Some things are objectively verifiable (apples fall from the tree towards the ground), others are not (belief that SSN = mark of beast). In the case of non-objective items, individuals of the dominant group are imposing their beliefs on the subordinate group.
And no matter what, don't ever think that you can properly defend yourself in court--it's called being railroaded for a reason.
While generally this is true, there is certainly a couple of exceptions to the rule. I know that there are people who know the rules of legal procedure so well that they can demand that they be followed. Every single one, every single time. And if the prosecutor or the judge or the court reporter doesn't follow everything to the letter (and I hear that they never, ever do), they know how to free themselves from the clutches of the court system. These individuals are super-rare, and probably 99.9999% (that's 1 in a million) of all lawyers wouldn't know this avenue, or can't persue it for fear of losing their bar license.
There are a few people who belive that the Sixteenth Amendment was never ratified
What if it never was? (properly ratified, that is). I haven't gone and personally verified the researcher's findings myself, but from what I've read it certainly seems that it's a possibility.
But what am I thinking? We all know that individuals who hold government posts always tell the truth, keep nothing secret, and have everyone's best interest at heart (no ulterior motives here!).
They also belive that the two letter postal code abbreviations for states represent different states than the ones that you write out longhand.
Have you ever tried sending a letter without a zip code (and with the state spelled out)? The good ol' postal service gets it to the destination every time for me...
Have to admit that I do not think that we have learned our lessons the way that we should have. I personally do not believe in the heavy use of the military that we do, but I do think that we should give our guys/gals the best support that we can.... ... I only wish that the damn democrats would quit trying to gut all our programs and the damn republicans would quit trying to develop worthless crap for the sake of their investments. It is time that we spent money on our ppl and keeping them alive for when we need them.
This is not a direct response to the poster of the parent comment, but is something directed towards the reader of this comment. You will notice how the parent poster's world is divided up into groups: we, our, damn democrats, damn republicans, us, them. There are people who agree with the parent poster, and then there are the people who don't.
Group think is everywhere - religious cults are perhaps the most prominent example, but you don't have to try very hard before you spot it elsewhere. (it's an especially easy task here on slashdot! =) )
most individuals are not aware that they suffer from group-think.
Group-think is what gets lemmings to walk over cliffs. There are only individuals, everything else is just a convenient abstraction.
And by extension, what is a Federal Reserve Note (FRN) backed by? I don't have any on me right now, but I've looked before and it says... nothing. They used to say "payable in gold upon demand", or something similar, I believe, but not anymore. I also think they used to say, "backed by the full faith and credit of the United States" (or something similar), whatever that means. But now it doesn't even say that. So I'm stumped - as far as I'm concerned, FRNs are worthless, and it's only through the miracle of mass dellusion that you can get people to trade you physical items for pieces of green paper.
Support real money - accountable in actual physical ounces of gold, silver, platinum or palladium. Use e-gold.
raw chicken is wonderful. =). Be sure to get the free-range kind, though - while I've never tried out the "born and raised in a 24/7 cage" kind (like you'd find at your local mega-mart), there's no sense in taking unnecessary risks, right? =) If you get bones, don't forget the marrow.
the superhealth report. you might also look at some of my other posts in this thread - some of them aren't too bad, imho.
The problem I have with his site is that a) he provides no convincing corroboration,
The superheatlh report is only an introduction. It can only serve to enlighten you as to the existence of another path, it is up to you to decide whether the path is worth exploring. But if you want to leave your heatlh 'up to the authorities' (whoever that might be), well, that's a gamble I'm not willing to take...
...and b) he seemingly believes in a lot of other quackery
Something is only quackery until it goes mainstream.
The only thing he really cites are other independent web sites.
There's a 61 text bilbiography at the end. Do those books not count as citations?
His other ideas are also somewhat disturbing. According to him AIDS is a hoax.
Why do you find them disturbing? Have you ever heard that the AIDS is a 'hoax' before? You've obviously dismissed this as a possibility - why? Perhaps you'd like to take a look at http://www.aliveandwell.org - a site that tells one woman's story of surviving being diagnosed with 'HIV'. (without perscription drugs of any sort)
He insists that you should never visit a Doctor.
No, he says Doctors can be good body mechanics - for fixing you up when you get trauma'd. I don't remember the exact statistics, but I believe the U.S. has the most doctors/capita of any other nation in the world. But we are by far _not_ the healthiest developed nation. Doctors are like cops - they come in after the fact to clean up the mess. And they typically don't do a very good job, either (though there are exceptions to this).
He claims that as simple a biological fact as mortality is culturally determined; we only grow old because that's what we're conditioned to believe.
This is something you likely infered from the reading. I suggest reading it again. He says that the mind plays a critical role in deciding one's health, but if that were the only deciding factor - well, there would be no need to eat raw meat, and this whole thread would have never gotten started. =).
These are dangerous ideas if followed.
Perhaps you are a medical doctor. The idea that the individual can have a powerfull influence in determining their own health would certainly be dangerous to you - just think of all the fees you wouldn't be able to charge!
Modern medicine may be imperfect,
agreed,
... to insist that surgery is unnecessary,
The word 'surgery' occurs twice in the superhealth report. These are in a quote by someone who was planning on having a melanoma removed, but no longer had a need for that operation (because it went away on its own). 'Surgery' is a broad term - some are certainly necessary, many are likely not.
that all practicing MDs are engaged in some sort of hoax, is just wrong. Call me dogmatic, if you will, but this is pseudoscience of the worst kind.
ah, not so much a hoax as mass delusion. Very few medical schools teach more than a cursory course on nutrition and/or holistic well being to their students. Hence, MD's are painfully ignorant in this aspect of health (though this is slowly beginning to change - more and more med schools have courses on accupuncture and the like...). 'pseudoscience' is a powerful world, evoking strong responses in the people who read your post. Modern medicine has been full of pseudoscience for years, and yet because it's mainstream it's always been accepted. Pregnant mothers used to be X-ray treated, for the good of the child, i believe. Chemotherapy does a remarkable job of finishing off many cancer patients. (there's a controversial statement!) Early AIDS drugs were highly toxic - no wonder mortality rates are improving! And the list goes on and on.
Take responsibility for your own well being. Doctors can only assist you in finding a path. (but be wary of your doctor's path, as it will likely be commensurate with the path he likely followed in his 'paid for by a pharmacutical drug company' medical school).

that all practicing MDs are engaged in some sort of hoax, is just wrong. Call me dogmatic, if you will, but this is pseudoscience of the worst kind.
ah, not so much a hoax as mass delusion. Very few medical schools teach more than a cursory course on nutrition and/or holistic well being to their students. Hence, MD's are painfully ignorant in this aspect of health (though this is slowly beginning to change - more and more med schools have courses on accupuncture and the like...). 'pseudoscience' is a powerful world, evoking strong responses in the people who read your post. Modern medicine has been full of pseudoscience for years, and yet because it's mainstream it's always been accepted. Pregnant mothers used to be X-ray treated, for the good of the child, i believe. Chemotherapy does a remarkable job of finishing off many cancer patients. (there's a controversial statement!) Early AIDS drugs were highly toxic - no wonder mortality rates are improving! And the list goes on and on.
Take responsibility for your own well being. Doctors can only assist you in finding a path. (but be wary of your doctor's path, as it will likely be commensurate with the path he likely followed in his 'paid for by a pharmacutical drug company' medical school).
