Yes basically I was given a "mental illness" to discredit me for the things I know and learned while working as a contractor for the federal government under the Clinton administration and a law firm that had ties to the Democratic party. They made me an offer to join their conspiracy or they would destroy my career and possibly try to kill me. I refused and I became mentally ill and physically sick (I think they poisoned me as you describe) and then discriminated against until I was forced on disability. In order to try and get rid of me they try to manipulate me into suicide, as they did with others I knew (my best friend was forced into suicide in 1999 for what he knew) but my will was too strong and I resisted them.
I had posted about it on various web sites like Kuro5hin, only to have others zero rate my comments to hide the truth. Many are dupes of this conspiracy and some have been paid off to discredit me and others who know the truth. But I refuse to lay down and die because they tell me to, and it will get worse, believe me, they will make it worse.
But AmigaOS had useful software that could use such boards as additional processors, so you would have the 68000, 80386, and 601 PowerPC processors working at the same time doing different things. That is what I was talking about how modern operating systems need to become more like AmigaOS to be able to take advantage of multiple processors or multiple cores. Only the Amiga seemed able to do those things, but Commodore's nickle and dime marketing and lack of third party driver and software support killed the Amiga.
Actually just visiting the wrong web site can get your computer infected even if you follow all of that advice.
Which is why pop-up blockers and ad-blockers are good, as most of the infections are pop-up or ad based. I really get upset at banks that use pop-up windows to view bank statements, which forces me to turn pop-up blocking off or add a rule so my bank statements can work and everything else gets blocked.
I really hate search engine results that display a web page in search results with information you want to see, but as soon as you click on that web link it takes you to some fake virus scan that even infects Firefox with pop-up blocking and ad-blocking turned on. The fake virus scan actually infects your system with like a hundred or a thousand infections because it installed a trojan dropper/downloader that downloads more of them, and it is very very hard to remove.
First I must point out that this nightmare is a worse case scenario that may or may not happen. Time is the forth dimension and is in a state of flux. My nightmares tap into that flux in a way that no human mind can understand. Please don't be scared by it. Temporal physics is a new subject and human beings are only now just understanding it and you'd have to have a Stephen Hawking intellect to just understand how they work. That is the problem with time and time travel, and M-Theory in general and general relativity. But somehow my mind has tapped into it.
Then OneCare family services should block the bad sites and not Google search results itself.
When people use swear words on Slashdot, it blocks access to Slashdot calling it not family safe.
Yeah it blocks Google but not other search engines that have the same bad web sites in their search results, but then again they don't compete with MSN Search as Google does, and Steve Ballmer never said he would f-ing kill those other search engines did he?
So what does Microsoft Kool-Aid taste like? I only ask because you seem to drink a lot of it.
Then maybe you'll remember that the Amiga 2000 and the Zorro expansion slots had CPU cards for emulating IBM PC systems via Intel chips and even had PowerPC expansion cards to rev the Amiga up to PowerMac and CHRP PowerPC technology? The Amiga was all about multiple processors and adding on more processors that AmigaOS could take advantage of via the expansion buses.
Yeah I believe you, my Belgium brother-in-law gave me a book by Kevin Trudeau called "The Weight Loss Cure they don't want you to know about" and he exposes that conspiracy in the USA and the rest of the world for processed and genetically engineered and artificial food (and now cloned meat) full of pesticides and chemical junk that causes most of us to get sick who don't have a high metabolism to burn it off. In Europe they know that and have health clinics to detoxify the body, but only the wealthy can afford treatments.
You have a point that I am labeled as schizophrenic for not being an average normal human being. I am more of a mutant I guess? Homo superior, and I know and learned over 30 different computer languages, I have an analytical mind and do deductive reasoning and logic, I can figure out complex computer problems that hardly anyone else knows how to solve, I can take "sloppy code" and debug it and improve the quality and make it run faster, I dream in code, I have divine flashes about the future (I can see 15 seconds into the future to know a car will run a red light so I can avoid it), and a lot of my nightmares induced by my schizoaffective disorder have become true, but those that haven't come true yet are very scary like there will be a food and oil shortage and over 3 billion people will be killed by euthanasia called assisted suicide even if they don't want to die in camps to fight global warming on a global scale in about 30 to 50 years from now, maybe sooner, and a lot of this peak oil and global warming is exaggerated and politicians are creating fake shortages like Jimmy Carter did to push their own agendas and take control of nations to do those new scary things. So they have taken control of news and media groups to scare people to force them to buy more things and use more gas and oil and food to create the shortages. Including blogs, newspapers, magazines, TV channels, cable channels, forums, and many other news and media sources. We are all being manipulated by the very people who claim to be humanitarians or environmentalists, but in fact are actually worse than Hitler and plan a new secret holocaust because they claim there are too many people on the planet. So they will round up the elderly, religious people, sick and disabled people, poor and homeless people, mentally ill people, and many others they dislike and who could have stopped them but they forced them to get sick or disabled or mentally ill so they can target them in death camps later on to get rid of them.
Well then they will only be really popular with geeks then. Most of us want those DIY projects that save energy and cut down on costs. How many of us geeks have friends and family that would be willing to pay us to put up those curtains for them, most likely the same ones that want us to remove viruses from their computers.
The Amiga had a 68000 chip for the main CPU but had custom processors for the graphics, sound, and I/O and AmigaDOS/AmigaOS was built around it.
We have come full circle now with dual core and up chips and the GPU being built into the CPU now, back to the Amiga, which was a superior system design.
The OS will have to be rewritten to support all of the new cores and special built in GPUs and other features. Windows, Linux, and Mac OSX need to become more like AmigaOS. Small in memory footprints and able to handle multiple processors.
Yeah but I am non-violent and I don't believe on getting revenge on people even if they are sociopaths or bullies. Success is the best revenge, so I am working on getting healthier and then maybe forming a small business and do something to earn money as nobody will hire me so I'll have to start up a small business and hire myself.
But I understand where you are coming from, I've had John Forbes Nash moments (A Beautiful Mind, read the book not watch the movie) in schizophrenia that helped me solve complex computer problems and I sometimes dream in computer code. I am not exactly like Nash, but I understand his economic theories.
I made a few friends/pals over the Internet who also have schizoaffective disorder, so I know I am not alone.
#1 Systems/Analyst around $40,000+ a year. #2 Database Administrator $55,000+ a year. #3 IT Department Manager $100,000+ a year. #4 Quality Assurance Technician (Quality Control, test programs don't code them) $35,000+ a year. #5 IT Supervisor/Manager $60,000+ year.
You could also take some business management courses and be able to work as a manager in any non-IT related management job, just get an Associate's in Business Management or get a Bachelors of Science in Business Management and you already met most of the requirements with your Bachelors of Science Comp Sci degree for Math, Sciences, Humanities, English, etc, so it would be a short-stay back at college to earn a business degree like I did. That is because if you can do both computers and business, it makes you a much more valuable employee to a potential employer and it makes it easier to get promoted to management.
I fix computers for free in my spare time. I tried to write a few programs but had my hard drive crash and I could not afford a reliable backup system.
I had a few open source ideas, but put them on the back burner in order that I could try and get healthier. I had a family member pass away recently and she had what I have schizoaffective disorder and she died at 36. I am sort of getting over that. I had my best friend kill himself in 1999 and he had it too. I am trying not to end up that way. You should know that SAD makes it hard to communicate and hard to make friends. I lost so many friends after I got sick and many don't return emails or phone calls that I do have left. So it is kind of hard for me to see that I got a lot to live for, but I have a wife and son so I live for them.
I used to be a fully functional human being, top notch, always positive, programmer/analyst that earned very good money. But the stress got to me and I had a nervous breakdown. I got sick, got high blood pressure and had heart problems, and my stomach and colon started to fail on me and then I developed schizoaffective disorder around 2000 after I had solved the Y2K issues in everyone else's code on my team and management kept piling on the work and I worked extra hours. A lot of news articles got to me, they were always negative, and I guess my stress at work made it worse. But them I went on short-term disability in June 2001 and by the time 9/11 happened I was at home recovering and it was a shock to me. Everything at my employer changed and having a mental illness was a security issue and cost too much for health insurance, and I was fired and I tried to commit suicide. I tried other employers but I was fired for being sick. I found out my medicine had caused suicidal thoughts, but I was blackballed anyway. I couldn't get health insurance nor life insurance and I was forced on disability. My career is basically over as I am not medically cleared to work, nor am I functional enough to hold a job. So I think I can understand about having a job with a lot to handle, and the stresses it has. Again, I am sorry and I apologize.
No problem, I get angry too and lose my temper. I understand and again I am sorry. You've shown me that I made a mistake and that I was wrong. You have proven yourself to be one of the good ones.
I am sorry that I was one of those overzealous computer geeks trying to strike back for anti-Linux and FUD articles, and I am glad to see that you are anti-FUD which gains you some respect for me and changed my opinion on Infoworld and eWeek. I was just playing along with Dice in this thread, joking around like I usually do, but my jokes sometimes get botched and people take me serious like Andy Kaufman or some other misunderstood comedian. I write funny articles at humor Wikis on technology issues and I sometimes forget where I am at and get out of control. I got sick and mentally ill and lost my job, so there is a bit of resentment in me that I am trying to get rid of via humor. It is one of those Dilbert laugh or you go insane sort of situations. Most people at Slashdot get my geek humor at times, but sometimes I botch a joke and it gets rated troll. This was one of those cases. Though some of my jokes get rated funny or interesting as well.
No hard feelings, you are one of the good ones and I apologize to all of the Infoworld and eWeek editors and writers I wrote about. I did not know you guys had it that hard.
But clearly I must apologize as I don't know what I am talking about, nor does any other Slashdot reader. I don't know why we say these things, must be a geek thing. We are all liars and cowards, like you said. Must be why we disagree about Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows with you.
It is no secret that vendors give out "gifts" and this happens for many corporations even magazine publishing corporations.
So you are telling me that despite Infoworld employees being given "gifts" by vendors, it does not influence how they write their article, and just because the article written is positive and the writer and/or editor got "gifts" it is not selling out or shilling or even considered unethical?
That somehow because I cited a problem in the media, it means I do a shitty job?
Well to be civil, and because you are upset and angry over it and it appears I touched a nerve, I will withdraw the statement for your sake. I don't want you getting stressed out over it, or anyone to say you did anything wrong over it, eWeek too as well as Infoworld.:)
More like left Burger King for McDonald's to flip more hamburgers and fry more fries. I refer you to the new corporate standard of "good enough" that encourages sloppy code as long as it is done on time and fast enough to make managers happy but not the customers. Plus we all have to use software with sloppy code in them, because hardly anyone else knows how to take their time and do it right the first time, and if they do it that way, they get fired and it ruins their careers. So modern coders are basically the IT version of burger flippers, or maybe you can call them byte flippers instead.
Windows Live is Microsoft's attempt at making their version of Google Apps/Pack except that it works with MSN, Hotmail, MSN Messenger, OneCare and other Microsoft services instead of Google, GMail, Google Earth, GTalk, and Norton Security Scan and Spyware Doctor.
is actually trying to f-ing kill Google, or is it really all about developers developers developers? I had to duck as he threw a chair at me.:) Just kidding I am not unfortunate enough to work for Steve Ballmer, not that I would want to anyway, I hear he has anger issues.:) Maybe as much as Jack Tremial of Commodore and later Atari had, with his Jack Attacks they named a video game after them.:)

but no programming languages or tools to take advantage of them. Most software is only written for one core. Very few if any support even dual cores.
I'd much rather see quantum computing become a reality instead of seeing a thousand cores and no way to make use of them all.
Yeah but I am non-violent and I don't believe on getting revenge on people even if they are sociopaths or bullies. Success is the best revenge, so I am working on getting healthier and then maybe forming a small business and do something to earn money as nobody will hire me so I'll have to start up a small business and hire myself.

Sure changed my mind as well. Though I had been influenced by IWETHEY in the past, that left Infoworld's forum and web site over matters like that.
I admit to being wrong and making a mistake, Neil Mcallister, you are one of the good ones and you earned Infoworld new respect from me.
No I don't live in my mother's basement and I am married. But you won't get that from my profile. Which means it works.:)
Well some people seem to think so and so do others and some gave awards for shilling.

That could apply to almost all Slashdot readers. So what was your point again?
Gladly, Infoworld explores such a thing here.
