Livesribe is cool, just make sure your professor doesn't ban recording devices.
My favorite feature is being able to play back what I was writing while listening to a lecture. This reignites the creativity I had in class and gives me pause to pose questions.
However, don't rely on it alone. Have a scanner on hand also, not everything will get posted online. Just be sure to keep all your material for each class, chapter or section in a convenient location so study time will be easier. If your school uses a blackboard system, it will go offline when you need it most, so keep your stuff local.
Now multiply that by 7 billion. Well... you did say *everyone* should migrate, right?
- No, I didn't suggest "everyone" migrate, that was your assumption.
- Things change.
- You either adapt, die with dignity or die crying about it.
- You don't like the heat, move.
- You don't have easy access to food, water and jobs - move to where it isn't so hard to compete for resources.
- Don't sabotage a future generation.
There's much more to Alaska than Palin. We rarely hear about her these days. Once you get out in the bush, nobody complains if you smoke a joint at the bar. It's funny that people in the Anchorage area pretend they are a part of civilization.
I moved to Alaska several years ago. After three winters, I am acclimatized. For instance, when it gets up to 50 degrees Fahrenheit I am strolling around in shorts and a t-shirt. Trying to survive shifting climate is something life has always done. Those who migrate and adapt survive. Those who nuke themselves deserve what they get - just leave the rest of us out of it.
I wonder if the ACLU will show up to protect some smart mouthed punk before I ram my fist down his throat? Fuck the ACLU! The only right anyone actually has is to die. In the mean time, I do have quite a lovely collection of dental records embedded in my fists.
I don't care about patents or lawyers. The days of making something "standard" are evaporating - just an illusory method of control anyway you poke a stick at it.
Yeah, but I really would have liked to have recorded the time I had Metallica performing liveand on fire in my ashtray just as my trans-am shot out into the universe as a phoenix with me in it. I think stuff like that needs to be shown. Besides, sources of pure LSD are very few and far between these days.
Well, hopefully it doesn't just become wasted inspiration. It would be ironic if cooling became a problem and Linux users actually started hanging out with the penguins.
I can't wait until something like this is available in a tattoo with a thought interface and neural wifi - upgrade as necessary! Wouldn't it be awesome to share with someone else that creative spark you ignited on "Item 9", or replay your acid trip when you're bored? Then start hacking all the molecules around you to do your bidding! Well, hopefully this isn't line 1 of why I got sent to the funny farm.
- Microsoft finally has some serious competition now, and they have to take care of the quality of their products.
Well, it would have been nice if they had had that philosophy all along, Hopefully competition will bring out the best. I got burned out on Microsoft long ago. Open Office has it's challenges too, at least I can get involved in it's improvement.
You can take a turd, slice it, dice it, spice it, mince it, chop it, fry it, "dissect" it, etc... you still have a turd! I prefer to sit back and watch it get beaten around to see what critical errors arise, but in the end I'm always glad I chose another operating system that at least gives me a command line instead of a blue screen.
Thought you might like this because it seems to explain more about what actually happens than what was "intended".
The 48 Laws of Power
by Robert Greene and Joost Elffers
Law 1
Never Outshine the Master
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.
Law 2
Never put too Much Trust in Friends, Learn how to use Enemies
Be wary of friends-they will betray you more quickly, for they are easily aroused to envy. They also become spoiled and tyrannical. But hire a former enemy and he will be more loyal than a friend, because he has more to prove. In fact, you have more to fear from friends than from enemies. If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.
Law 3
Conceal your Intentions
Keep people off-balance and in the dark by never revealing the purpose behind your actions. If they have no clue what you are up to, they cannot prepare a defense. Guide them far enough down the wrong path, envelope them in enough smoke, and by the time they realize your intentions, it will be too late.
Law 4
Always Say Less than Necessary
When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.
Law 5
So Much Depends on Reputation – Guard it with your Life
Reputation is the cornerstone of power. Through reputation alone you can intimidate and win; once you slip, however, you are vulnerable, and will be attacked on all sides. Make your reputation unassailable. Always be alert to potential attacks and thwart them before they happen. Meanwhile, learn to destroy your enemies by opening holes in their own reputations. Then stand aside and let public opinion hang them.
Law 6
Court Attention at all Cost
Everything is judged by its appearance; what is unseen counts for nothing. Never let yourself get lost in the crowd, then, or buried in oblivion. Stand out. Be conspicuous, at all cost. Make yourself a magnet of attention by appearing larger, more colorful, more mysterious, than the bland and timid masses.
Law 7
Get others to do the Work for you, but Always Take the Credit
Use the wisdom, knowledge, and legwork of other people to further your own cause. Not only will such assistance save you valuable time and energy, it will give you a godlike aura of efficiency and speed. In the end your helpers will be forgotten and you will be remembered. Never do yourself what others can do for you.
Law 8
Make other People come to you – use Bait if Necessary
When you force the other person to act, you are the one in control. It is always better to make your opponent come to you, abandoning his own plans in the process. Lure him with fabulous gains – then attack. You hold the cards.
Law 9
Win through your Actions, Never through Argument
Any momentary triumph you think gained through argument is really a Pyrrhic victory: The resentment and ill will you stir up is stronger and lasts longer than any momentary change of opinion. It is much more powerful to get others to agree with you through your actions, without saying a word. Demonstrate, do not explicate.
Law 10
Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky
You can die from someone else’s misery – emotional states are as infectious as disease. You may feel you are helping the drowning man but you are only precipitating your own disaster. The unfortuna
'a critical step toward ending our reliance on foreign oil and achieving energy independence.'" I thought that was why the Department of Energy was created.
I think it has more to do with independently utilizing what you were born with than blindly, or through weakness, accepting culturally reinforced views and behaviors and living under those banners. It spans every race, religion, age group and culture - not just "rednecks". Basically, it's just a form of snobbery. Anyway,I am interested in when someone figures out how to enhance the qualities of brains rather than just producing a physical form of schizophrenia.
Hopefully this will turn into something useful for handicaps we haven't been able to tackle yet such as psychological disorders and perhaps even color blindness. I for one would love to see what enhancements get developed. I've always been curious what it would be like to experience the parts of the electromagnetic spectrum I don't have sense organs for, not to mention being able to record my dreams. Add an internet connection and it all goes to hell in a hand basket! Welcome to the construct!
What you are basically describing is criminal behaviour. To make it "low grade" you must understand what it truly is - gaining power through lies and/ or intimidation. Then you confront it. The greatest weapon of the fascist is the tolerance of the pacifist.

The rest of us will just wait for a centerfold shot!
I can't wait for the gauss cannons and jump jets!
What did it cost you to move you and your family from the continental US to Alaska?
- Not much.
How much energy was required?
- Quite a bit.
And what's different about the area around what's now your home since you took up residence there?

- http://www.adn.com/2012/04/07/2411798/city-inches-closer-to-the-seasonal.html
- The cost of living is outrageous.
- Still don't need an air conditioner!
Now multiply that by 7 billion. Well... you did say *everyone* should migrate, right?
- No, I didn't suggest "everyone" migrate, that was your assumption.

Maybe they were trying to keep up with Sony's rootkit.
I guess it's for those who just don't get it!

I guess they didn't have enough chewing gum wrappers on hand!
All stalk and no roots.
I'd like to be under the sea in an octopuses data garden in the shade...
Yeah, but I really would have liked to have recorded the time I had Metallica performing liveand on fire in my ashtray just as my trans-am shot out into the universe as a phoenix with me in it.
