  1. Re:Horoscope test... on IT Career Horoscopes · · Score: 1

    Even more of course, the site I got them from advertised that "we don't produce generic horoscopes -- we tailor them specifically to your date of birth!"

    The last remark tells me that your made the wrong conclusion from
    the experiment.

    It seams that you have concluded that astrology don't work.

    What the test should tell you is that the
    mind try to fit new data into its own belief system.

    But instead your mind fit the result of the test
    with your belief that astrology don't work.

    I think, a better way to get a indication if astrology works
    is to make your students take the
    What Zodiac Sign Should You Be? test at emode.com
    http://www.emode.com/emode/tests/astrol ogy_makeove r_result.jsp

    and see if it scores correct significant more that 1/12 of the times.

    Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann had the nerve to
    publish instead of patenting it and when something is published
    it can't be patented.

  9. Still room for improvement. on Using Mozilla in Testing and Debugging · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1) If mozilla could do for HTML what it does for javascript.
    Have a live console which shows the HTML errors
    this would be very useful for web development.
    I do know about the online validators but
    normal development take place behind a firewall
    using dynamic server-side scripting,
    so every time your change the state of a page you
    would have to save it and upload it to the validator.
    a very slow process.

    2) In the cookie tool i need a function
    which remove the cookies from the current site.
    So you don't have to look trough a long list of cookies
    every time you test your cookie code.

    3) In view source i need a function which could auto format
    the HTML code.
    Many auto generate pages have there HTML in one long line.
    If Mozilla could auto format the code it would be useful.

    4) Finally I would like the spell checker to automatically
    to mark every misspelled word on the current web page.

    Yes, and it works.

    In Denmark, it is comment to pick on the new
    students in high school (gymnasium).

    So, the first week there where several incidences,
    with older students picking on new students.

    The 3 year student made the mistake to pick
    on my twin brother in a lunch break in front of
    the entire school.

    The food this day was pitas, and the older student
    griped my brother from the back and pushed his the pita into his face. Then my brother got angry
    ran after the older student gave him a couple of kicks and the rest of the pita (with dressing) in the face.

    The older students never pick on the new students again.

  22. Patent system changes on Talk To a European Patent Examiner · · Score: 1

    Hi

    Waning: I do not live in a English speaking country,
    so my posting might have several grammar mistakes.

    For some time I have been speculating about improvements
    for the patent system and I have come up with the following changes.

    * The invention must be a trade secret.
    With a trade secret I mean that the
    inventor must be able to keep the invention
    secret while using it to do business.

    This rule will remove patents like '1-click shopping'.

    * The patent should be filed in a computer readable format.
    In the future who needs paper based patents.
    A computer based format is easier to distribute and work with,
    I suggest a XHTML+MathML+SVG based format.

    * Free public access to all patents.

    Everybody should be able to access
    the patents via the Internet of free.
    With the patents computer based it should not be a problem.

    * It should be possible to fill a anti-patent.
    A anti-patent is a patent a publication of a
    invention for everybody to use without restrictions
    of any kind and it should be free for the inventor to make.

    * A patent should be approved if there is not any prior patents and
    anti-patents against it.

    This might seams strange at first, but what actually happens now,
    is that patent examiners only look at patents and not at other
    publications.
    With this rule everybody know that they will have to fill a
    anti-patent to be safe for patents.

    This should help force all human knowledge into the patent database.

    Can I have your comment on this changes ?
