There's a simple mechanism in all of us, protecting our brain from being overwhelmed by something that we can't grasp at that moment. (Eg. because it is too horrible.) It's called repression.
A bit of it is normal, and everyone does it.
But normally, you process it later, when you got the psychological hold and stability to fully face it. If this does not happen, you will start to live in a delusional world.
Neurally, it is a simple over-association. You link things that are not linked in reality, because -- in simple terms -- the linking power was too strong and overflowed into other areas.
So, "simply" getting into a state of emotional hold (eg. by having a therapist or a really close person be with you) where you feel safe, then facing your fears (because now you can), and really mentally "diving" into the core of them, will result in a re-linking to the original cause. You can easily help facing your fears, by strengthening the congruence between the original horrible moment and now. But it has to be controlled by your own gut feeling of what you fear. Not by what you think. This is, because in this case, we address a very old and primitive mechanism.
When you re-linked the cause (= strengthened the original path of association) enough, you will notice all the situations where you repressed this thing, and where you lived in delusion. This can then be used as a tool to realign your associations with reality. (= weaken the wrong neural paths of association) I found the best way of doing this, is to use the method of the self-fulfilling prophecies. This means that if you think that something will happen this way, it strangely usually does. (In reality, it only is much more likely that it does, because you act in that direction. Of course you still can't do magic.;)
So if you get in a situation where you notice that you usually did have wrong associations with it (eg. you fear going to work, because you got beaten up in school and therefore feared going to school), you "sidestep" your fears, use your tool to see what the actual reality is, and then tell yourself that you expect it to happen like you think reality really is. Afterwards, you can then say "See, I told you it would not end horribly", reward yourself for it, and take the not-so-good days on the light side. (After all, it is what it is. No good or bad about it. An asshole at work still is only a system that works in a specific way, and that you can control is a specific way. But if he *really* is an asshole, of course you can think of him that way too. But don't let him play you.;)
And that is the complete essence of neuropsychology on the subject of healing fearful memories, and every other repression/delusion/psychoblocade and even psychosomatic problems. In a nutshell.
Now if you do this, while balancing the difficulty of things to face with your own (then growing) abilities, you can really heal. Of course, it will not change from now to then. But I achieved to change things so massively in a matter of weeks, that I myself changed completely.
So you do not need any "repress this even more" pills. Because it will break out somewhere else anyway. Sooner or later. And then it will be even harder to detect and re-associate. And you also do not have to have your memories deleted. You can face them and have no fear at all. Needless to say, that this will give you a big advantage over forgetting them.
So I'd just look up a song, loop an audio cable from my output to input, and receive the audio in audacity as I play the song in youtube.
Look up Download Helper. It works for every porn site I know too. That alone should be reason enough to have it installed.;)
By the way: YouTube sound quality if far away from acceptable. I usually just click my self-made "Submit as query to mldonkey" button, and then download the thing there. Of course, with Windows and IE, you (including me in earlier days) do not even start imagining such possibilities.
Nice delusion, but totally false-to-fact. Maybe back in the day of the Altar or Apple II you could control the entire machine, but today you didn't write the OS, the BIOS, the device firmware, the drivers, the utilities, or the programs.
Nice faulty logic... But I see what you did there. (Emphasis mine) To control your entire machine, you do not have to write a single line of code. You just have to be able to choose which code gets executed on it.
You have no say in the matter.
So this does not follow from your previous statements.
In fact, it seems that you never heard of the coreboot project, or firmware updates. And hell, I did write my OS, drivers, utilities and programs... together with other people. I chose what kernel to put on it. I chose the patches. I chose the programs.
If I want, I can change the firmware of my DVD drive to play music for me, write my own OS so I can use my keyboard to control the music it plays, and flash it into the BIOS.
In the one game, that you would absolutely and totally win every time, you don't play, because of such a silly problem?
You have licenses to sell. Licenses for $0.00! Is that so hard? And if they are not accepting that, then give them some fantasy value, that is much lower that everyone else, but still above their bullshit limit. After all, it's not illegal to sell open source. No matter how you turn it... There is a way to always win this thing, but you do take it? Come on!
Some people just have to be hit with a cluestick... many times...;)
... and actually think about the reasons and causalities, instead of just fixing symptoms in the best style of medical doctors?
Why are they there in the first place? And why aren't they somewhere else, like in your home, or in my home, etc? Rats, like all animals, need two things most of all: Food and shelter.
And apparently, your buildings are the best thing they can find. This can be, because your buildings
got a good food source.
have easily accessible holes that protect from the weather and predators.
have better shelter than elsewhere.
have less predators than elsewhere.
have less dangers than elsewhere.
are less crowded than elsewhere.
etc.
Make a checklist, and work off those things. Make it as uncomfortable for rats as possible. No food. Predators and dangers all around. No way to hide or protect. And much concurrency from other stuff.
They will go elsewhere, as soon as it is better there, and easy to get there.
It sounds hard, because doing something properly usually is.
XHTML was a successful attempt at letting HTML have an actual check on any validity. That way it was not possible to create that horrible mess of a trash-code that was done with the earlier versions.
But from working in that area for five years, I know, that 95% of all web-developers are actually completely incompetent, and never heard of any applicable programmer concepts like modularity, pretty printing, or proper structure. So they used the "Transitional" versions. But XTHML 1.1 and upwards have no transitional versions anymore. So they must have feared to lose their jobs because it could come out that they are not able to create a single proper page of markup.
So now they go back to making their Browsers guessing what they meant, being able to forget closing tags, so the browser has to guess it, which creates a semantic nightmare, and all-in-all not applying any structure on the code.
Hell, in my company, they did not even know the difference between Unix and Windows line endings. And so, their editor always made two lines out of one... Adding white space lines, until there were a dozen between every line of code. But nobody except me did ever remove them. They just kept scrolling like crazy. And don' even ask about searching and replacing them with the builtin RegExp functionality.
They would die before finishing to read the error output, if a browser would act like a real compiler on their "code".
And: No. HTML is NOT something that you should be able to use without acquiring proper knowledge first. Same as with a computer.
No. It is no loss. What do they lose? A sale? No. Because you canâ(TM)t imply that it would have been bought instead. Software? No. Because the only give away copies.
You fell for one of the basic FUD arguments of the media industry.
âoebasic accessibility issuesâ⦠I have a strong feeling, that you donâ(TM)t even know what you mean by that. Which âoeissuesâ are you talking about? Please. Tell me.
By the way. Have you ever seen a traffic light? The only difference between the red, yellow and even the green light is⦠guess what. And it is much easier to recognize the color of a light at a glance, that to detect the symbol on it. You can even detect the color when your eyes are focused at something completely different. How great is that? Try that with a symbol of a walking and one of a standing humanâ¦
By the way. Iâ(TM)m not even English. Itâ(TM)s my third language of four. And I expect people to speak the language of the country. So if you come here, speak German. If you come to my homeland, Luxemburg, speak Luxemburgish. any when we are in your country, expect me to speak your language. If you canâ(TM)t, Iâ(TM)m sure someone will want to help you learn it.
Itâ(TM)s nice, how people rather turn to complete bullshit pseudo-arguments like the âoebasic accessibility issuesâ, than accept that something is basically wrong with their views. Something like knowing what is fair and social.
I know that for most people, who live in a completely hypocritical world of pseudo-social behavior, it is not accept this basic reality of what really is fair and social.
You insult me (=discrimination), because you think I discriminate (which I, if you really read it, never did), and then post it anonymously, because you do not even have the balls to stand by your opinion. Wow. Way to go! Reallyâ¦
And if you are an US-American, then, compared to your statistically most likely weight, Iâm still thin. So whoâ(TM)s the fatass?:P
That what you imply -- namely, that we act as if we "believed in it" -- is how Creationists see our views, because doctrines is all they know.
They can't imagine us actually thinking and questioning our theories, because they can't do it themselves. They came up with the term "Darwinism" to exactly strengthen their twisted view of us.
And you fell for it. Not us. So go home, think about what you have done, and expect no food on the table this evening.
Tomorrow you can come back, and tell us what you have learned from this.
Censorship might close them. And I do not trust CNN or MicrosoftNBC much more than FOX already. The only alternative is the NET. And even in China, you can get full access to the net if you find the right proxy (not that hard) But where do I find a complete âoedrop-in replacementâ news source that is investigating all by itself (and not using the press releases of big press companies)?
P.S.: Thereâ(TM)s a bug in the comment system. When you select HTML you get plain text, and when you select plain text, you get HTML. Thatâ(TM)s why the tags are visible in your comment.

That's easy, if you use a computer. I mean use. Not click and play.
See, computers are machines made for automation.
q.e.d.
n00b. I can divide by zero.
The result is infinite.
Don't know how to handle the hole of infinity?
Well... you know how to handle the hole of zero, do you?
Same thing. Only different.
With infinity, as with zero, information gets lost. The problem is the missing temporal/causal variable/dimension of calculations.
Now gimme my damn Nobel prize already! ;)
As I said, you might completely and extensively relive them.
But maybe that is what you want... :D
Which will cause you to completely and extensively relive them.
Best... punishment... EVER. :D
