Exploited? well he was paid real good, for the work he did. That's how he formed his business. the military is real good at figuring out how to get specialist. I learned from my father about civilian contracts and all the paperwork involved.
the other person that you mention, is most likely my dad's pal ( he should be about 58 to 63 now ), he's the one that my dad sold most of his business to. they both only see gray ( given a zillion shades of it ) and are in great demand by industries all over the world.
most people have meet the results of my dad's work or my dad's friend, if you walk into a McDonald's or burger king. all the yellows and all the reds are EXACTLY alike there is no noticeable shade variation ( unless it's age ). Till my father stopped working, he was flown 3 times a year to factories, to confirm that the color coming off the line was exactly like the original color.
color association can be a real problem, the second you are tricked by the mind, you are stuck. That's why some people walk into an area and walk right out quickly, they get that "vibe" and they need to run quickly ( sometimes it's sound association ).
most humans have high levels of light sensitivity in which they can see different shades, it requires training. from what I recall, we are green and purple sensitive, so the black gentleman that mentioned he was very rare is correct ( and most likely people from areas where humans are prey ) , since survival in those conditions require keen eyesight development. Darwin rules apply, and over last 10000 years it just became rarer and more rarer.
Most of Europe, humans lost their prey status when megafauna was eliminated.
Color Blind... you don't want it, nor the benefits of it.
My dad has it, and he See's everything in grays ( well that's the color he calls it ), he can spot the difference in the color black from 4 different producers. my dad work for the government back in the 60's and 70's and he was consistently seeing things. his job was to point out "problems in photographs" so if an image was out of balance, he would just circle it and hand it up the chain of command.
Some of the more interesting assignments my dad disclosed to me. 1) military cloth review and rejection for top brass ( 3 and 4 star level ) 2) Paint color review ( hundred of gallons at time ) 3) standardise the color of military traffic lights on domestic bases, so many colors of red variations and green, he got it down to 2 of each and let someone else pick it out. 4) camo netting review at heights exceeding 10,000 feet plus a lot of stuff that I'm not sure about but I saw on the table as a kid
on of my fathers biggest problems were carpet's, your regular gray carpet might have 800+ threads that were woven to make it, just imagine walking along a carpet, having something that looked like a slice in the carpet ( or a bug ), only to realise that it's just a bad color thread. another problem were berger kings and McDonald's. until the late 80's there were certain ones my dad would eat at, since to him all the plastic chairs and tables ( at the respective franchise ) coloring was similar and color association was rather strong with him, so bad experiences with certain colors would extend into his personal life.
he never had a chance to become a pilot, but when he worked for the military he always (come hell or high water) from take-off to landing was in the co-pilot chair. how he pulled that stunt was a secret that I have never asked, but he got away with it.
the color of scotch always made him ill until i found out about the first time he got drunk ( color association ).
my dad had amazing wood skills when it came to selecting wood for his carvings, wood would just be right and the grain would always just be perfect for what he wanted to do.
Concrete ageing, that's something my father was a perfectionist at, he could look at a concrete job that was recently poured, tell it's age and by shit luck ( or some magic ) tell if it was cured correctly.
people with this disorder are different, but none the less, thier skills at other things are sometimes exceeding.
I would love to agree with you. I think your idea is well worth the effort to sites you really want to be on. The problem is the drop off rate that will be experienced by new users.
a study ( which I can not find at this time ), stated that if you exceed 6 seconds or more in load time, you would loose 30% or more of your clients.
So, the problem of your 10second delay might just cost your web site a lot of clients.
I have seen the chickens, it's funny. I have also seen monkeys suffer from the same thing with fallen fruit from tree's. they get very drunk, so I would not be surprised that early man saw this and tried the fruit also.
>>Upload traffic is just as demanding as download traffic to a server.
when thinking ISP you need to think last mile. an last mile traffic has been for a very long time pull traffic ( while a web site is push ). P2P has upset the apple cart ( and has become a big thorn, leading to net neutrality issues ).
Peering agreements for a long time have been rather stale, last mile pays a percentage and web site host pay a percentage. Peering locations pushed and pulled rather balanced ( if it's off then someone had to pay), P2P tosses all those agreements right out the window, all of a sudden, a last mile location become a push, and web host are flat, peering gets out of billing sync, All the last mile ISP's have a right to be nervous, they really don't know what there push traffic is going to look like and they are worried about the bills.
Personally, I think that, throttling is a great idea. I also think local server's that act as a torrent data relay site should be created ( that's why we have web cache's ) to cover a large percentage of the "legal" file trading and software updates. we need someway for daytime business needs and night time file sharing.
personally I think Peanut Butter an Bacon is even better, but yours ( as of this morning ranks #3 on fun foods that will gross out my wife ) is very tasty, I think it's best on toasted whole wheat. now I got to test it with jam
thank you for the new treat. Also if you really want to impress your network of people, formally serve ant's on a log. with a light sprinkle of kosher salt. High protein, high fiber, and overall healthy
how true:( after reading your post, I realized that I did a web site, quick and dirty, worked real well and left it alone. Now I am going to clean it up and make sure that I reduce the code by 25%.
Most apps in *nix are system specific, so when they do find something wrong, it's an easy fix, but when we get to windows, there are 100's of apps, these apps make all system admins crazy ( just had a new program installed and it was calling home via a port that I had never seen used ( in the 52000 range ).
I truly think deep in my heart that windows coders just don't give a shit about really doing quality code, all they do is put the crap out then fix and patch. all comes down to the money.
if I had a software shop, I would really be a big prick about quality coding, I would demand no memory leaks, no wacky run-a-way array's after that, fix all the bugs from small to big, and then optimize the code to get it running fast ( I see my 6502 coding rules coming out in this rant )
>yet enter the atmoshere at a slow enough speed to avoid burning up
that would depend on the size of the rock/ice comming inbound, if it's large enough, it will only be hot on the outside but frozen solid ( even if it gets white - purple hot ( purple/white is the next color after white in heat )
Well out of all the "weird" plans, this one is my favorite. Why, because is works so well, and based on historical data, a large perecentage of japan's buildings are made out of wood. Seemed like a simple but effective idea. I would have perfered it over the A-bomb.
At least comcast is doing what is expected ( failing ), this guy deals with Verizon ( the phone book side ) and he is pissed www.idearcmediascams.com . If this guy had vision could be dangerous.
you are 100% correct ( as if you could be only 99% LOL )
anyway, funny thing to me is that I have lost all my math skills over time, but 1 skill I have retained, it is the probable outcome of any situation I get to review. Most of the people that come and ask me for the "odds" hate to do it, but I have almost got it to a science.
the knack of doing something that produces the results required increase when it passes my review.
I blame it all on being careful and using some common sense ( which I am sure I don't have any at all ). So when William ( my new boss ) ask me to review something, at first glance I give the odds of working, after I take it home and fix it. the chance of it working increase.
I thought that Elisha Gray Alexander Graham Bell both filed similar patents on the same day, just hours apart. for me this would mean that discovery's happen when certain things ( basic knowledge) of a very specific field expands.
I wonder how many times similar patents application have arrived within a few days of each other.
what year for that ac-dc concert? since back in the 80's, I paid about 17 for the floor I can only guess at what price it would cost me to see them now.
I saw U2 in 1982 and I think I paid 25. ( a half days pay back then )
Wow, and here I was thinking that there were no commie's left.
get real, it's a business otherwise they would be playing on street corners for pocket change. ( I have found bands that kick as in local bars ). A promoter pays the band, buys the concession and tries to make a buck or three. don't pay the price and you won't be seeing the show.
don't worry, the good thing is that great bands can be seen at cheap prices if you are not following the crowd but are willing to take a risk in listening to someone new, HM... let me think.... I saw bon jovi before they blew up ( and I would ride the train with them some times ), the police about 2 years before anyone was really talking about them, green-day by total shit luck and was amazed at the lyrical quality, arrow-smith and the rolling stones sometime in the 80's when they were out of style, jethro Tull and about 40 other well know bands.
since I don't know where you live, I would look for all the venues that hold 500 to 10,000 people. then look at their web site weekly ( I do ), then book it if something catches your eye. I have the next 3 month already planned out and it only cost me 200 in tickets (14) and each show will spend of my time about 5 hours total. I have no clue as to whom some of these bands are but all are one of the following punk / rock / new-wave and a trance.
well for those of us whom deal with Google as their lively hood ( I currently run PPC campaigns and do some SEO work on my web sites ), this was a problem.
I spent the better part of a afternoon about 2 weeks ago, submitting my searches to Google asking them too look at these sites.
they were under my key word group and it was driving me nut's.
Some slime-balls even lay out their pages with poor usability just to encourage those errors.
yep it's called ugly site design: it's where you use incorrectly matching color harmonies and make some truly awful sites.
now the more refined have very wonder site designs except they are awful to look at and after a few minute, you click way from the site due to pain from viewing.
from the point of view of a person that has gone without electricity and phone service for 3 or 4 days, it's nice to confirm that you are not nut's and it is mid afternoon. it's just something that you would take for granted and only used when you needed it ( about 10 times in my lifetime ). I like the British version of it on he shortwave.
>>The national debt is simply treasury bonds and the like. They don't give their bearer any direct power over the government in question.
well not totally true: In Latin American debit market ( and some of the old east German debit ) Pressure is placed on the bond issuer to force the government to come to better terms, since if they fully default without a restructure in place, no one is going to finance the bonds without a huge interest rate.
in specific reference to this issue, look at the Cuba bonds that currently trade in London. the idea is that those bonds need to be paid off in order to get some sort of credit in the future.
>>If you have a lot of high quality backlinks then I think Google would be smart enough to ignore the low quality backlinks that don't affect your score much.

I'm not so sure about that, the water off Brazil is mighty murky.

I use it, and I think some of the sites I have voted for have improved in ranking.
I don't recall the ISP, but back in the late 90's their was a free ISP that was ad driven model on a dial up.
the president said one day, disconnect the top "1%", the bandwidth savings were in excess of 40%.
they changed the policy a short time later requiring 1.5 hours mandatory redialing and total hours online for the day.
