2) Use smells to associate memories with. When you smell the smell, it will help you remember what you associated with it.
3) Use story chains associations - associate all ten digits with objects, and then to remember a twenty digit number, remember a story about twenty digit's associated objects.
4) Controversial, there are claims that caffeine and adderall (ADD medication) can aid memory. But there are side effects....
Fires per car is worthwhile information, but to be honest, we really need fires per miles driven information.
That is, if the fires per tesla car is 1/6,000, with a total of 6 billion miles driven, and the fires per gas car is 1/1,300 with a total of 12 billion miles driven (because people drive gas cars much further), then tesla would still be more dangerous than a gas car.
Note, I personally believe that a Tesla car is safer and less prone to fires than a gas powered car, but the statistic we really need has not been given.
I just wished it concentrated more on the actual hero, instead of Thor and his love interest.
After all, all the girl did was free the aether, and most of what Thor did was deliver the girl/aether to the bad guy.
The real hero was Eric No Pants, who created the weapon that killed the bad guys.
Oh, Thor had to actually use it, but honestly, that's the least he could do after he and his girlfriend gave the Aether to the bad guy in the first place.
The movie was exciting, but I really wish they had told us more of the real story - how Naked Eric saved the universe!
If I have access to a machine, enough to say, open it up physically, remove the hard drive that runs the computer, and replace it a doctored one I created, then I can make it do what I want?
Oh, you mean I don't have to trade the hard ware, just the software?
And, the ski is BLUE, you say?
I am shocked, SHOCKED to hear these disturbing facts. Someone should do something.
Burning Coal - anywhere - is an incredibly bad idea.
Mining coal is incredibly deadly. It kills more people - and in painful, slow black lung deaths than any other source of energy.
The area around coal plants become more radioactive than nuclear power plants over time - because most coal contains small amounts of thorium which gets released into the air when the coal is burned and settles in the area around the coal plant.
Burning coal is the main reason why pregnant women can't eat most fish. It is also why a diet of just fish is bad for you rather than being the healthiest diet. Why? Because it releases tons of mercury into the ocean.
And of course, burning coal in also a huge green house gas contributor.
There is zero reason whatsoever to create new coal burning plants. Use that same money to offer then nuclear power plants. It would cost less lives and create technical jobs as opposed to creating mining jobs.
While that looks good, his first attempt (Of Gods and Men) was quite frankly, a disappointment, despite the presence of Koenig and Nichols. But I still have hope for Mr. Russ to come through (enough to send them a bit of cash.
Aside from the fact that the actors in Star Trek Continues have acting flaws that are not identical to those of the original cast (i.e. they are just as talented/untalented as the originals, but don't have the exact same instinctive mannerisms), this is an incredible recreation.
It looks far better than the passable recreation "Star Trek Of Gods and Men" (with Koenig, Nichols and Russ in it). http://startrekofgodsandmen.com/main/
I have few if any problems with the devices.
But the software could use some work.
They need to be able to handle more document types (Word, PDF, etc.) with well designed user interefaces. Right now they depend on selling extra software to do that with is wrong.
In addition, they need to redo their website. I have no problem finding books to buy when I go to their store. I go in, go to the section I desire and browse the "New Books" section. But trying to do it via the device is a waste of time.
Partly because the store only holds a few new books, so they select out the best, ignore the crap, and do not try to 'push' certain books.
On the devices, the opposite happens they don't limit the 'new' books in a section to the good stuff, instead they break the section downs to subsections, and fill the sub sections with every single book available.
Read the article. It delivers an entire 1 watt of power.
Light bulbs in my house put out more than 100 x the energy. So does my TV.
The fact that is a different wavelength of EMF is irrelevant when it comes to health issues.
I believe, but am not 100 percent sure, that X ray machines run about 100 to 100,000 watts per second.
So the reason you like Facebook is that everyone else uses it?
Hm. Most people are not entirely 100% sheep and are willing to use products that other people have not used.
If your friends refuse to check your blog, or answer your emails, or play games with you on a service of your choice, then they are not your friends.
As for the notification aspect, you can set your blog and game to send emails to your friends. Of course, they will probably hate your as much for that as they hate you for doing it to them on Facebook.
1) If you are abandoning the old accounts, do it when you buy a new computer.
2) Never give out more information than necessary
3) If they demand a phone number, send it to either a friend's phone or if truly paranoid a burner phone purchased with cash.
4) Before abandoning the old accounts, fix their information by replacing it with new, incorrect information.
5) Then delete them.
6) Never use Facebook for anything. They are too expensive privacy wise for the cheap stuff they offer. You can get what they offer (or similar stuff) at other web sites, for less of a privacy invasion.
7) On your new PC, set security HIGH and accept a bit of inconvenience,
Nuclear accidents have not been proven to have killed a single person. There are reasonable estimates that as many as a couple of hundred people have died from radiation derived from power plants, total.
A hundred THOUSAND people are known to die from immediate causes of fossil fuel use every single year. Most of that is coal - which only a total idiot would use to power their home. It even releases more irradiation into the environment than nuclear power does. Coal has tiny bits of radioactive particles in it. When you burn it, you release those particles into the air. They usually settle around the coal plant, only affecting the poor shmucks stuck working or living near the coal burning power plant.
Learn math. It is your friend. It will keep you from doing stupid things like objecting to a safe, clean power source because it involves complex physics that you don't understand.
Part of the problem is that what works for one student doesn't always work for another.
You can't expect a child with dyslexia to learn from the same program that works for an excellent reader. Less serious learning issues have similar effect.
One thing I never understood is why we don't have a public boarding school option for those kids whose parents clearly are the problem.
If your parents are homeless, drug addicts, or convicted felons, you have about a 50% drop out rate. If we just offered them public boarding schools, we could save those kids - at far less cost over the long term than what those drop outs will end up costing the government.
Boarding schools can go for as low as $25k / year, vs regular schools at half that while a year in prison costs over $100k If just save just one out of 8 of those kids from a life of prison, we come out ahead.
You can easily have that removed from your credit history simply by talking to the right people - aka the credit agencies and the card issuing people if you are persistent.
The credit card company itself must have reasonable reason to think it was you.
The credit agencies are not legally allowed to not care if your credit file is messed up. They have to resolve it in a reasonable amount of time.
The real problem is when this happens repeatedly - as in they repeatedly do this to you, then the agencies are always playing catch up and at any given time your credit history is dead. Then the credit company stops believing you and you can never restore your credit.
They can be gotten by almost anyone. Waitresses, cashiers, etc. can easily collect hundreds a day.
Our credit card system is set up so that getting money from the credit card account without being quickly caught is the hard part.
Usually you need some kind of idiot mule to get the money, sent it to you, without knowing who you are. Then when the cops arrest him, he is stuck holding the 'bag'.
I said opponents are intelligent and have good reasons to support OBAMA. I never said they have good reasons to support Obama's worst mistakes.
We support Obama for the good things has done, which far outweigh the few bad things you indirectly referred to (make sit harder for me to counter if you give general non-specific complaints). Especially as the opponents have similarly done things just as bad, if not worse. Do you remember "free speech zones"? Bush did them.
Yes Obama wanted single payer, he tried and failed to get that. In order to satisfy his opponents on the right he compromised. As the GOP leadership refused to compromise or even talk, he had to take the best deal he could get. Sorry if you arrogant , dictatorial tendencies don't like compromise.
As for thinking BIn Laden's death is meaningless, you know nothing about politics. Politics is as much about perception as reality. Hence the obsession with PR and censorship. Killing Bin Laden did not just fulfill America's need for closure, but it established a reputation to protect the US for the next decade.
Your basic assumption is that Bush would have fulfilled his promise, and therefore gets no credit. So let me ask you if he had failed to do so, would you not blame him?
Moreover, we don't know that a Republican would have also ended the war. Just because Obama followed Bush's time line does not mean that another President would have.
Obama gets the credit for what he succeeded in doing. Yes, it would have been more if Bush had not also made that claim. So what? The fact that you refuse to give him the credit tell us that YOU are the fanatic, not those that support Obama.
It is a lot easier to accuse your opponents of having some super-strong fanatical lunatics following them as opposed to admitting that they are intelligent and disagree with you for valid reasons.
Moreover, it is a lot easier to believe your own allies are making true claims against your opponent and be shocked that they do not 'stick', than it is to admit that their claims are ridiculous and laughable, which is why they don't 'stick'.
Democrats were incredibly shocked that GW Bush was re-elected. We all thought it was obvious that he failed to catch Bin Laden, destroyed all the moral standing we got after 9/111, started another, stupid war based on lies, and turned Clinton's surplus into a defecit.
But Bush did in the end pay for his bad judgement by destroying the GOP brand.
Similarly Obama's series of half-scandals (none by themselves are anywhere near as big as stuff Bush did - they just all hit at the same time) has seriously weakened the incredible high moral status he had earned by passing healthcare, killing Bin Ladin, and ending Bush's Iraq war.
Your basic assumptions are false. Entirely so. I won't try to give you a ridiculous argument that ignores reality.
Look, if the police/investigators/judge/prosecutors are saints than there is no problem with them doing anything. We could take away all legal protections. We could make it legal for cops to shoot people on sight if the world existed like you think it does.
That is, when Ghandi/the Pope himself is trying to figure out if you are guilty, then no problems will occur no matter how what they do. If they find out you are gay, you are cheating on your wife, your wife cheated on you, etc. etc. then it won't matter. They will keep your secret to the grave and they should have the right to ask the questions. Furthermore, they wonâ(TM)t torture you, they wonâ(TM)t abuse their discretion and over prosecute you.
But you see our legal systems are in fact designed to work with human beings running them, not saints. In fact, prosecutors routinely over-prosecute. That is considered normal behavior and expected. Get caught in the passenger seat of someone joyriding who accidentally hits and kills a random person on the street? Expect to get charged with felony murder and watch the prosecutor offer you a misdemeanor if you rat out the actual driver.
The reason we have the fifth amendments is because the protections you are claiming - such as laws against torture and holding you indefinitely ARE NOT ENOUGH. As in nowhere near enough.
They routinely get abused. Examples include but are not limited to people accused of being terrorist tortured, people being held indefinitely, people forced to work in the prison laundry without being convicted of any crime. All of these things are drawn from actual headline, not made up by me.
One law is NOT sufficient to stop these abuses, we need multiple laws to prevent them.
In particular, cops, judges and prosecutors etc are often very devious about how they get around the laws that you are depending upon. This is in fact encouraged. We want people to go right up to what is legal, but not step over the line. This prevents true bad guys from getting away with crimes. But that also means we need BIG, BRIGHT lines.
But most importantly, once they go over the lines, other cops, judges, and prosecutors are reluctant to prosecute them. After all, they did so in good faith, and yes it is a pity that an innocent man got screwed, but they don't want their colleague to go to jail for slavery just because he illegally forced a man to work in prison.
So we need LOTS of big bright lines, and the Fifth Amendment is in fact on of the most well established, BEST lines.
More importantly, all those other laws you like? They came AFTER the Fifth amendment. The Fifth Amendment existed before them. Worse, many of them are not Constitutional amendments. Which means they can be repealed by a panicked congress.
In conclusion, don't get rid of our best defense against tyranny simply because we have other, weaker defenses against tyranny.
When installing the "Launch Nuclear Missiles" button, yes, you make it hard to do my mistake. You don't make it a single, large button easy to hit by accident. Instead you put a locking plastic case around it, and require two users to activate.
But if the action can easily be undone, then keep it easy to do.
If you are talking about something like permanently deleting a database, then YES, MAKE IT HARDER.
When facing an enemy whose ability to infiltrate your IT network far exceeds yours to keep them out you should:
1) Only network equipment that actually needs to be networked together. As in targeting system with weapon.
2) Create no physical links at all between systems that don't need to be networked together.
3) Honeypot them into a virtual trap.. (Never understood why they never tried this in Galactica). You want them THINK they have compromised your system, especially whey they have not.
Same principle applies.
Mechanical mistakes are no different than programming/electrical.
But that is beside the point, the designer did NOT think "this won't fire to be safe", anymore than the guy that put in a safety on the gun.

So the logical next step is to see if an old man's heart problems can be solved by a constant transfusion from a young rat?
Well, a man is bigger than a rat, so you probably need a lot of young rats. Let's try it with say 50.
So, know picture in your mind, an old man, connected by blood transfusions from 50 rats kept in tiny little cages.
I bet you can make it mobile - so lets put the rats in a large backpack the old man can carry on his back. :D
When facing an enemy whose ability to infiltrate your IT network far exceeds yours to keep them out you should: 1) Only network equipment that actually needs to be networked together.
