I heard a story about one of these guys being on a ship and being asked to plot their course out of the harbor, which begins with locating where they are. A couple of hours later, when already out to sea, he had completed these fantastic formulas, which incidentally placed them squarely on shore.

Of course simply being sad over some failure or upset in your life is a disorder and must be treated with drugs.
Of course the reading and writing disorders must not be left out. If a child argues with you then we have the oppositional defiant disorder.
I spoke to a professor emeritus of psychiatry from the State University of New York Upstate Medical University who said "There's no blood or other biological test to ascertain the presence or absence of mental illness, as there is for most bodily diseases."
He went on to say that he had concluded there were no such thing as mental illness. People had problems but it was not an illness. The word illness indicates there's a disease in the body which can be cured in the body. He found that eating and sleeping well, and having a person to talk to was a much healthier approach to mental health.

You'd find it an interesting read to see what Tesla did. It was not Tesla who was looking for an earthquake, but people for miles around being alarmed and not understanding what was going on, but being convinced there was an earthquake. (No, it was not an earthquake but it was felt like one to people miles around.)
Look at singing as a very simple example. You bring together harmonies, vibrations, like a high note breaking glass by hitting the resonence frequency of the glass, causing it to vibrate beyond it normal oscillation and tolerance.
As far as the frequence of Earth, I think it's a very very low frequency. Probably not at all bothered by the water sloshing around as much as being hurled through space at thousands of miles per second.
The amount of mass of the planet vs the water on it are not at all in the same league.
Since the planet also has a resonance frequency, all Tesla would have to do is to find an harmony and start harmonizing. You can build up the oscillation of that frequency the same way you'd tap water in a tub at the right moment building up a bigger and bigger oscillation of waves. You don't change the amount of force you use but by hitting it at the right time, it will build larger and larger waves.
All he did is test his theory by building a device that harmonized with the planet. (How he figured out that harmony we don't know.) Gently tapping it at the right frequency made it vibrate more and more until people thought there was earthquakes for miles around his house. There has not been anyone like Tesla who has done much public work on what he worked on. Few have really understood what he understood. For example, he had a room lit up with lamps that did not have any electical wires. He had wireless remote radio control technology long before anyone knew what it was.
Some of the things he started is in use by NASA to this very day, the military and all over the world. For example. Tesla realized what Edison did not (Edison actually had very little understanding of what he was doing, and achieved his success through very arduous non scientific lab work, and luck) which was that direct current cannot flow for very far. Tesla is the one who brought out alternating current that the whole world is pretty much using.
One of the basics on flowing is that it has to be allowed to flow two ways. Otherwise it builds up a ridge and then disburses. Which is exactly what happens with DC pushed to travel too far.
Anyway I sincerely suggest that anyone with half an interest in how things work get a book from the library or online and read up on Tesla and his many accomplishments. You will be amazed over how able he was with physics and totally useless in managing money and his life.
Westinghouse ended up owing him so much money they would have to declare bankruptcy if he asked for his money. They sent a guy over to talk with Tesla, who just forgave them the whole debt. It started out with them owing him pennies for his AC technology. Over a few years it grew so large they could not pay him back.
It's like having shares in General Motors or Microsoft and them having to declare bankruptcy due to being unable to pay you what they owe you.
All objects have a mean frequency which in this example is causing the frequency that they are observing in the water. The frequency in the water comes from the planet's own resonance, or a harmony thereof.
Tesla noticed this and build a little tool which hit on the harmonic frequency and kept accelerating the oscillation with a device he built until there were "earthquakes" observed all around, and he had to cut short a trip to run home and turn it off. Indeed in manufacturing speakers you try to get this frequency down below audioble range as you don't want the speaker to resonate and alter the sound it's supposed to generate.
It's a very common mistake made by many when they observe a symptom (not realizing there is a real why behind it.)
This is one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time!
It has NOTHING to do with the websites, the Internet or anything else.
Take a guy who's inept at something, anything. Let's say fishing. He does not know how to attach the hook, that a bait can help or which bait is appropriate at the type of fish. He gets the idea to go fishing to impress his new girlfriend or whatever. He tells her he's going to bring home some nice fish.
Now let him at it for long enough time and after enough frustration you may notice a quickening of the heart, profuse sweating, and furious tossing around and bashing the equipment. In extreme cases, the ailment can be identified by loud screaming.
Does that mean we have a new "fishing syndrome"?
No, all it means is that the guy is overwhelmed, frustrated or whatever. Nothing a good rest, or a walk cannot fix. Maybe some food and a rest is really what he needs. Then someone showing him how to fish.
Maybe you are at work and you told your tough boss that You're The Man for the job, but you find there's something you don't understand and cannot get it right. As the deadline approaches and you're still fighting to get it done you may notice a quickening of the heart, profuse sweating, and furious tossing around and bashing the equipment. In extreme cases, the ailment can be identified by loud screaming.
These "syndromes" are nothing but another attempt to make you think you suffer from a syndrome of sorts, but fortunately it's nothing we can't fix with the right psychotropic drug treatment. Unfortunately a lot of people have bought into that pseudo science. Which mostly lines someones pockets.

Asking the driver of a strange looking vehicle, driving around your neighborhood, if it is something specific is not very smart. Much better to let him supply the answer as he could just agree to make you happy. Meanwhile you don't really know what he's doing.

I'd take pictures of the driver or at least make sure I recognize him if it came to a lineup.
"A future in which privacy would face constant assault was so alien to the framers of the Constitution that it never occurred to them to call out privacy as an explicit right. Privacy was inherent to the nobility of their being and their cause. Of course being watched in your own home was unreasonable. Watching at all was an act so unseemly as to be inconceivable among gentlemen in their day. You watched convicted criminals, not free citizens. You ruled your own home. It's intrinsic to the concept of liberty...
I guess you did not really read the article. It said that the cost will be reduced from $30 from flying it in, to 30 cents from their on location system. True, we could argue that neither one of us have seen that to be true, but I would not want to be that arse.
They won the contracts after a demo and I'm sure they would not want their customer to read in the news how it could be lower than they are actually paying. It would look like they had just been had, and no doubt could put the whole contract at risk.
If the military IS flying it in at $30, don't you think that shows that it's not too cost prohibitive? And that ANY cost below that is an improvement? Let's see $30 vs $0.30...

These countries have LOTS and LOTS of misunderstandings because the subtle differences in context. If you really want to cripple our country, this would be one good way.
As others have pointed out we have a fantastic language in English. I did not find it hard to learn, but that's really beside the point.
The reason to do this is supposedly to help some people... But it does not help anywhere as much as it harms. Communication is the building block of society. To cripple it because some are too lazy to learn it is not the way to solve their problem.
The moment a society's aim becomes to be like the least competent, then you undermine peoples will to reach competence. And THAT is the end of that society.
This does not at all mean you cannot care for and help those with problems, but we need to have high goals or we'll go the way of the Romans.
The Roman Empire was fantastic. Amazingly advanced. If you study their history you can see how they started to lower and lower their standards, after having been so successful, and one day they were no more.
No, let's not lower our language to what is more like a baby language, just because some have a hard time with it. Let's invest in education instead. Let's make sure kids actually learn by being able to demonstrate what they study. Let's do away with glib tests where you can get top score for memorizing but not being able to APPLY what you supposedly learned.

They left out the locks in doors too so that all these delivery people can now deliver your food right into your refrigerator, hang your new suit in your closet and so on. The window is open should your doors become blocked for some reason. Let's say some owner who does not realize how valuable these lockless doors are, they will still be able to deliver their valuable service.
Next month they are going to start checking if you are running out of food and automatically replace it. It's going to revolutionize the food service.

Unfortunately you are all too correct in this. Having lived overseas for years and years I was surprised how controlled the US media. In fact almost all headlines are just bad news. Something which affects one family gets headlines and something which concerns all is hidden away on some late page. The sensationalism has killed all including decent journalism.
I'm glad to see that not everyone is a robot. Though I did not spot one scientist in among the responses.
Authoritarian is what the school system is.
As far as Einstein, would it not be interesting if it turned out he was not correct. Not being able to go faster than light is a hypothesis based on this mans work. You call it observations. I put it to you to review how those observations were made. Since he made them they have more or less been followed blindly.
I find it fascinating that scientists thinks you cannot exceed the speed of light. What is true is that we don't currently have the technology to. Everthing else is simply theory. Which is based on some authority and never allowed to be questioned.
Of course the most interesting thing about the science community is how you are not "allowed" to state exactly how something is, but only to say that it's a guess, or rough estimate. (I'm not talking about formulas. But discoveries you make.) To top it off you're only supposed to make statements to your own peers and not directly to the public.
An example of this is NASA's James Hansen. He speaks out directly to the public and is mobbed by his peers as a result. More power to him.
Anyone with a bit of time on his hands can find how insecure a lot of these scientists are. One quickly gets the idea they are trying to cover something up. If you don't use specifics then you can cover up your own inaccurate statements. Of course your result is based on other "facts" which not being that accurate, and totally authoritarian, allows you to justify your failure.
Take my favorite. You're told how something is a law. And then given exceptions. But it cannot be a law if it has exceptions!
Then what you got is a WORKABLE law. Not a law. First year physics/chemistry etc., students figures that one out.
But oh no! Someone wants to discover new laws and gain fame, or you don't get funding. So you do what you can to make your claim. At the expense of quality science.
Which is easy as most people don't bother to verify anything. With education being authoritarian, most people seem to accept whatever they are spoon fed.
You can bet that when James Hansen speaks out directly, a bunch of other NASA scientists gets upset and try to push management to silence him.
is that to start with most of the Windows vulnerabilities are at a much higher risk level than most of the OSS holes. Then never mind that the OSS community is more honest about reporting bugs, which in turn are patched long before even found in the wild. When you manage both sides you quickly notice how much more of a problem Windows is. One can easily maintain lot's of OSS machines whereas one doesn't even know what's been broken with the last patch from MS and spend a lot more time maintaining just one Windows box. With Windows you are forced to only have one single function on it. With OSS you can easily load it up with several functions that are not going to overload it, not going to conflict with each other, and easy to patch withour fear that something else has now been broken. No, you could never compare the two sides. If you are going to rely on numbers only, you can only compare OSS s/w with other OSS s/w.
Yeah, that's pretty poor. I understand they did not try KDE either (according to a poster above).

I've been using many diff distro's for my desktop (since -95) and I always come back to Fedora for various reasons.
Not unlike it at all. The good part is that hypnotic commands tend to not be horribly strong as they are practiced (for entertainment purposes). But with only a few factors like the hypnotist sounding like an ally, and some incident when the person was injured and that ally spoke to the person while partly unconscious, we could have a disaster on our hands. (You should never speak around injured people as it too is recorded and can act like commands in the future. All it takes is for the person to be less conscious, which is what you do to a person when you hypnotize them, and you can start giving them commands.)
Sorry sir, but you don't understand the mind. You can be the best hypnotist in the world, but that does not make you actually understand the mind. Only how to hypnotize. Unfortunately the knowledge in regards to hypnotism is a very narrow study as it gets its result without needing to know much. Kind of like you don't have to know all about how a car functions in order to drive it.
Oh, it would be so comfortable if that was true would it not. What's so interesting is that when confronted with the possibility of having been doing something wrong your first thought is that it must be incorrect. Which is proof that you are basically good. Which does not however change a thing in regards to hypnotism and it's effect on the mind.

An example of this is NASA's James Hansen. He speaks out directly to the public and is mobbed by his peers as a result. More power to him.
Anyone with a bit of time on his hands can find how insecure a lot of these scientists are. One quickly gets the idea they are trying to cover something up. If you don't use specifics then you can cover up your own inaccurate statements. Of course your result is based on other "facts" which not being that accurate, and totally authoritarian, allows you to justify your failure.
Take my favorite. You're told how something is a law. And then given exceptions. But it cannot be a law if it has exceptions!
Then what you got is a WORKABLE law. Not a law. First year physics/chemistry etc., students figures that one out.
But oh no! Someone wants to discover new laws and gain fame, or you don't get funding. So you do what you can to make your claim. At the expense of quality science.
Which is easy as most people don't bother to verify anything. With education being authoritarian, most people seem to accept whatever they are spoon fed.
You can bet that when James Hansen speaks out directly, a bunch of other NASA scientists gets upset and try to push management to silence him.
is that to start with most of the Windows vulnerabilities are at a much higher risk level than most of the OSS holes.
Then never mind that the OSS community is more honest about reporting bugs, which in turn are patched long before even found in the wild.
When you manage both sides you quickly notice how much more of a problem Windows is. One can easily maintain lot's of OSS machines whereas one doesn't even know what's been broken with the last patch from MS and spend a lot more time maintaining just one Windows box.
With Windows you are forced to only have one single function on it. With OSS you can easily load it up with several functions that are not going to overload it, not going to conflict with each other, and easy to patch withour fear that something else has now been broken.
No, you could never compare the two sides. If you are going to rely on numbers only, you can only compare OSS s/w with other OSS s/w.
What they do know is where the phone is, which indeed can be very different as we all know.
Yeah, that's pretty poor. I understand they did not try KDE either (according to a poster above). I'm not even going to bother reading the review at this point as it's too incomplete and inapplicable to me.
I've been using many diff distro's for my desktop (since -95) and I always come back to Fedora for various reasons.
Not unlike it at all. The good part is that hypnotic commands tend to not be horribly strong as they are practiced (for entertainment purposes). But with only a few factors like the hypnotist sounding like an ally, and some incident when the person was injured and that ally spoke to the person while partly unconscious, we could have a disaster on our hands.
(You should never speak around injured people as it too is recorded and can act like commands in the future. All it takes is for the person to be less conscious, which is what you do to a person when you hypnotize them, and you can start giving them commands.)
Sorry sir, but you don't understand the mind. You can be the best hypnotist in the world, but that does not make you actually understand the mind. Only how to hypnotize. Unfortunately the knowledge in regards to hypnotism is a very narrow study as it gets its result without needing to know much.
Kind of like you don't have to know all about how a car functions in order to drive it.
Oh, it would be so comfortable if that was true would it not. What's so interesting is that when confronted with the possibility of having been doing something wrong your first thought is that it must be incorrect. Which is proof that you are basically good.
Which does not however change a thing in regards to hypnotism and it's effect on the mind.
