Fuck Microsoft embracing Linux. They are supposed to pimp their own genetic variability in computing, which is Windows. Back in 98, around the pinnacle of creativity of the company, they had Win32 C API, Office 97, VBA, VB Classic, and pretty much owned the desktop. Ever since they turned 180 degrees trying to subdue Netscape and Java, they kind of suceeded, but neither is a monoculture of IE a secure environment, nor is the java killer dotnet such a great idea, when, after all, the almost sole purpose of java was platform independence bytecodes, so I don't know what the heck is dotnet doing on Windows for platform independence when Microsoft's only goal is to run it on windows, or, even if it runs on other platforms, to kill those platforms.
Only 2 things can come of Microsoft messing with Linux. One, they embrace extend extinguish it like so many other things, in a Suse/Novell tag on some proprietary crap onto it that becomes a de facto standard, then mess up the miracle of Linux that way, once they control it as a standard, and beat everyone into obedience to them, kind of like trying to beat every customer into dotnet, which is not flying very well. Dotnet is a bloatload of crap massive stuck in honey like quicksand waste of efficiency and performance and verbosity. Yeah, verbose is specific, but come on maaaan. Who got that much time in their lives to scan through so many letters and characters, or how can you come up with a trick to skip the unimportant details and focus on the relevant stuff. Even oldschool VB and VBA had a With/End With construct, so what's with all this dotnet and python and java verbosity these days. 2. Microsoft gives in to Linux and hands over the olympic torch or relay race stick to Linux and they disappear. Their job is to maintain their own variability and survive in the computing field, without either driving other varieties to extinction, nor going themselves extinct. Every time Microsoft messes with Linux both of those things are at the forefront. If anything, they should mess with "Unix" as a standard, whereby whatever they create or mess with works equally on commercial Unix like AIX or Solaris or Irix or HP-UX or SCO Unix, or OSX, FreeBSD and other BSD's,...and.. Linux. In fact some kind of commercial Microsoft Unix might be welcome, at a low price competing with AIX or SCO, without messing with the GPL and trying to subdue the Linux side of Unix. In fact I'd love to see a realtime souped up MS DOS with full hardware access (they are paranoid about giving hardware access anymore) for offline applications, MS Unix, MS Desktop/Workstation/Server Windows, and MS Mobile Windows, where you could blend the mobile and desktop aspects on a laptop or netbook, or the Workstation/Server aspects on a desktop, or do any of those varieties on any of the devices, of course the mobile version flying leaving everything in the dust on a workstation hardware, but very low on features, kinda like mobile versions of twitter and facebook, they are fast like google and simple, and sometimes that's all you want, but if you got the cpu muscle and electricity to spare, go for the eyecandy full of details glittering versions, but those versions bring netbooks to their knees because of hardware requirements. Give the customer options to pick from, instead of trying to bludgeon them into abiding to your worldview, because, ultimately the customer is king, and does not have to make a purchase. Unless Obama passes an Obamacare for Microsoft where he forces everyone to buy a yearly Windows 10 rental subscription, no matter what the price, or no matter what crappy product or service a customer gets in return. How about Obama forces everyone to buy gas utility service no matter what the price, where it's available, and if the you cannot afford it, he'll pay for it himself in your name as private profit into his buddies pockets working at utility companies that made their campaign contributions when he was elected, and he'll use all those surplus dollars sitting in the government treasur
I haven't been praying much these days because as far as I'm concerned, I have was forced to pray 7 lifetimes worth of rosaries when I was 5-10 years old, 3 hrs each evening, til I rebelled, but I started praying again, every waking moment I pray that Obama and Biden and Clinton and all their family suffer the exact same pain and suffering their corrupt healthcare law they enacted causes to those people who don't buy, including forced infections and forced cancers, at least as long as this corrupt law stands and is not abolished. I don't own a fucking fee to anybody for being alive, especially not to some for profit private party, and if that means I have to die instead of go to a hospital, so be it. While this law stands I do no step foot inside a hospital, and if I am taken there by force, I will do whatever is in my power to lay wreck to expensive equipment or create as much damage in return as I possibly can, til they shoot me like a circus elephant gone rampant. If I can take out a ct-scan machine before being shot and killed, I have not lived in vain. Goddamn, God please damn health care people like doctors that say things like you're gonna beg to die once we infect you with our soft tissue expertise, and let them suffer that fate themselves instead, including all people involved in this quest to make another dollar by willful infections, including insurance agents and politicians, let them and their families all suffer from forced infections and death like they cause it to other people, as long as this corrupt law called Obamacare stands. Amen. Forced gambling policy purchases at arbitrary prices from for profit entitites? What the fuck ever.
the issue with carbon recycling the form of CO2 is twofold - it's a gas that must be stored under high pressure, like propane or butane, and two, it's not so great on energy density once you have to capture and haul along the heavy CO2 from like an automobile... harvesting CO2 from the atmosphere via ethanol amine ponds could be pondered, but otherwise all green life forms compete for the 0.03% CO2 in air, which is rising though and creates global warming and desertification or junglification and bad weather, but by far the fastest growing tomatoes are grown in the Dead Sea Valley which is the lowest dry point on Earth, and the sole reason is partial pressure of CO2 and carbon availablity is the highest anywhere in the world... such is the issue with scarcity of CO2 scrubbed from the atmosphere, but that is not to say, that when you have energy to blow, like solar in a desert, and nothing good to store it into, harvesting even humidity and CO2 from the atmosphere wasting a ton of energy because energy is cheap is not economically feasible
but otherwise, if a full recycling circle is done, a liquid or solid end product carried back to a recycling gas station is preferable, and in this lithium borohydride to lithium borate fuel cell for cars sounds like an expensive but leaves the CO2 recycling in the dust, or, even just lithium metal, beryllium metal (toxid), boron, or aluminum, and their hydrides beat carbon in energy storing efficiency by weight, but for stationary home based uses environmentally fairly friendly alkaline zinc air or iron air battery type setups might be more economical on a storage density by volume and cost basis even if by weight they both suck, and the zinc or electrolytic iron cathodes can be removed and stacked in a pile..
carbon's main ergonomic and energy efficiency efficiency lies in the fact that it's a gas that can be freely emitted through an exhaust, and capturing it back from that dilute form is very expensive energy wise.. not emitting it, and capturing it, like a car that has no exhaust pipe and instead embarks on compressing and heat echange cooling the CO2 into a compressed liquid cylinder has all kinds of issues, similar to the loco loco's page i'll cite below in the references
ref 1: chart I made a while back that relates to rocket fuels and this CO2 recycling question: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... it also explains why the space shuttle running on liquid hydrogen was such a bad idea, compared to solid rocket boosters based on aluminum - just compare carbon, hydrogen and aluminum (or boron or beryllium or lithium) in the above chart. Yes hydrogen has the highest energy storage density by weight even if it really really sucks by volume (cryogenic hydrogen that must be vented to stay cold is only 1/8th the density of water) and plain gasoline has more hydrogen in a gallon than cryogenic liquid hydrogen does, true it weighs a whole lot more.. still.. if you have to carry along the oxidizer too, such as liquid oxygen required for rockets, hydrogen sucks compared to aluminum powder powered solid rocket boosters even that mammoth dinosaur contraption of a Shuttle had to resort to just to get up there into space
ref.2 here is a chart I made a while back that somebody revised into svg with python http://commons.wikimedia.org/w... here is the original I made with an Excel screenshot http://commons.wikimedia.org/w... note that iron and zinc, with easy aqueous battery chemistries leave liquid hydrogen in the dust when it comes to energy density by volume, but they do suck by weight indeed.. boron, aluminum, silicon, lithium have no easy aqueous recycling chemistries, though some semi-aqueous processes might be found that are economical for both the abundant aluminum and magnesium. I'
how about another corrupt obamacare law passed where obamacare not about you but his buddies at high places at microsoft or google and passes a law where everyone must buy windows 10, or sign up for google+ else they get to pay a fucking tax penalty.. fuck that retard including his vice president biden and the rest of his gang
the only problem with google+ for me is that it absolutely craaaaawls on an HP Mini 210 netbook.. javascript feces pouring down drenching this little wonder.. even facebook and twitter i only use the mobile site versions, as the main sites also drench this little thing with their elephant poop mixed with glue javascript feces that bogs everything down.. why oh why does one need a quad core supercomputer guzzling gazillions of watts to read fucking text, or view images and video on a stupid webpage? I'm glad they are failing.. they should learn their lesson.. to everything there are consequences, such as malicious coding, because ultimately the customer is always king, even if you like to believe it differently temporarily.. people can walk away even from computers whatsoever, after they feel too much shit taste from arrogant bitches like microsoft fucking with them constantly
Yeah, like good luck trying to win a case against Microsoft or IBM or similar patent trolls (I think IBM clocks the most patents, but I don't see any products labeled IBM I'm using, so it's like they are not really innovating, more like trolling, unlike Arm chips for instance, or even Intel and AMD), as there is no judge or lawyers alive who will go against the big dogs and risk their own livelihood and own children's welfare pissing them up while upholding justice. So that's all that intellectual property laws ensure, more ways and means to abuse power, and the lil guy, the individual inventor has all the more reason to hate intellectual property rules they concocted out of nothing, cuz all they get out of that is abuse from people that got good at not creating anything, but abusing the artifacts and subjugating everyone else into intellectual property slavery. And Microsoft and gang is pretty high up on that list when it comes to abuses, and they, but also Disney, are the main reason why intellectual property in general is viewed as something horrible, besides some publishing or label houses that pay like 50/50 or much less to the actual creators.
I been to Niagara Falls, behind the waterfall. It's not really all that.
Apple makes portable drives called time capsules. Maybe they could enhance the selection in their product lines and add one of these balls to their list of offerings, called a zombie apocalypse or nuclear apocalypse capsule. In a nuclear apocalypse you only have to make it for 1 year or 10 years, which is the amount of time they keep nuclear waste in a pond near the reactor, for the half lives to decay away, then there is a window in halflives for all possible decay elements, and the next ones have halflives on the order of hundreds or maybe thousands of years, which makes them faily safe and livable, or more like at least compared to the initial year or decade. Make sure the include iodine and strontium nonradiating isotope doses, which people will have to use to replenish their bodies (iodine is in HGH, most important, while strontium not so much, other than for strong bone crystals you need crack propagation stopping defect sites, my guess is that, and then you have to eat pure strontium purified calcium only material, such as processed eggshells or even mined limestone but not seasalt or seawater extracted calcium, or seafood, where the calcium would be polluted with bone marrow destroying contamination. The way the world is headed, increasingly stressed on rising costs, lack of resources and ever increasing population, there is a good chance that eventually somebody somewhere would go nuts and initiate a nuclear war. For instance when Henry Kissinger tried bludgeoning Mao Ze Dong into submission by threatening him with nukes, he replied: you threateing us? We welcome a nuclear war, in fact we could send 150 million women to the US and get instant voting majority over there and not even feel the loss in population from the 3/4 billion we have here (now it's 1.3 billion only increasing at a rate of 150 million per decade or so, or it used to in the 90's, which is still half the population of the US amount of growth per decade, but at least they have a one child policy, unlike India which just reached 1 billion in like 2007 and now they are about to overtake China with their 1.2 billion these days, and they have no one child policy, instead they have rolling blackouts of their electric grid crumbling from the load, they pull off a Mars mission costing not only less than what NASA spends on it, but costing less than Hollywood spends making a movie about going to Mars. They are also sitting on a shitload of Thorium, biggest reserve in the world, which can, in theory, with effort, be converted into you threaten us with your guns? Well our Buddha smiles back right back at you which a flash followed by a mushroom cloud. Check out this picture, http://i.imgur.com/I81xSNt.png Can you find Australia and Canada, dominion of the United Kingdom on it? What these mofos lack the most is good free porn and looser morals. Plus one is mostly ice, the other mostly desert, while India, Vietnam and Indonesia are mostly monsoon jungle. In Freedoom doom2 in later levels there are kama sutra or indian looking wall decorations everywhere, I have no clue if that's any kind of Omen. For now lots of Indians are vegetarian, but they have been bruised and abused through history with muslim invader pasha's shooting cannon balls at the Iron Pillar in Delhi, shedding a whole lot of their territory to muslim majority countries of Bangladesh and Pakistan (yeah now look at that chart again and include Pakistan and Bangladesh into your image of beach assault soldiers and count how much ammo you need to defend in case you have to), then they were the crown jewel of the British crown (i'm betting a good 50-80% of income of the british royalty that supported their world dominant navy such as at the Battle of Jutland was extracted from India, while the people there starved, just like people starved in Ireland during the potato famine while grain was being exported to England from Ireland, what else is new) with bloody putting
What I'm looking for in a computer is the ability to run Windows 2000 which was the last version that would function in a zombie apocalypse without needing online activation on a computer the hacked together from broken parts from other similar computers that failed. XP would run on HP and Dell if it finds the right hardware, and it's complicated. Also if it can run Win2K, it can almost certainly run BSD 4.4 Lite even in an intellectual property abusing world where police enter your home like the commies used to and take your food to collect taxes, or your computers that they deem illegal, and technically BSD 4.4 lite has legal precedent officially blessed by AT&T and a court case for public domain release, and it is what OS X was ultimately crafted from or you can craft your own, but anything later, like SATA based crap or more recent innovations all bring along recent patents and harassment over those.. but all the patents from the BSD 4.4. lite era should be expired now and you can have you own x86 computer INCLUDING an operating system with a source code even if they ban anything "communist" based on GPL like Microsoft has been lobbying the government to ban, GPL being antiamerican because it doesn't fit their embrace extend extinguish policy, instead it's a poison pill for that, but even Microsoft blesses BSD licenses that they can freely copy, in fact, for starters, that's where they got the source code to implement basic internet access things in Win95 and later, when their own NetBEUI or Novell IPX/SPX has fallen out of favor over the much more robustly designed Unix tcp/ip. Unix used to have so many things so right back in the day, but it's getting worse, with systemd, and nonmodular noncomplicated systems, which are the best ways of asking for headaches and trouble. Even Linux has issues such as starting with the 2.4 kernel they intentionally paid their programmers to contribute code to the linux kernel, then went into this puppet lawsuit with SCO asking IBM a couple billion dollars worth of pocket change from them over their programmer's brains being "tainted" by having read the official Unix source codes, and it all caused misappropriation of code and intellectual property, and what a fucking joke that gives me a headache from these cocksuckers in power up at the top tossing around billions and yanking the whole publics dogchain over intellectual property issues and I just feel like giving the finger to them, but yeah, even if you pay attention, Linux 2.2 kernels are pre IBM sabotage, not very good compared to 2.4 that comes with things like ipchains, but still usable. And they should also run on Win2K capable computers, Pentium 3/Pentium 4 era ones, without sata, just pain IDE. Ebay has some deals where such computers are getting dumped as garbage because they can no longer go on the internet nor can people play the latest games on them. And I don't have money, but considering all of the above I feel obligated to buy anyway, especially when the news of Windows 10 as rental only hits the market, and like with apartments, when the rent is up you move out to a different one, but when the rent goes up on Windows 10, what alternative are you gonna move to? When every hardware comes with windows only drivers? Yeah, get ready to live your life computing free, like in the good old days, and there goes the digital millenium and all the powermongering bullshit that comes with it down the drain with it, and you can be finally unobstructed and free again! Unless Obama or whoever is president then passes a law forcing people to buy Windows computers and pay the rental fee for it, no matter what the price, no matter even if they don't feel like buying because they don't find it to be a good deal for themselves. Fuck Obamacare.
Well it's like this. 1984. No matter what the lawbooks say, people are gonna get spied on regardless, whether officially and unofficially. When it's done unofficially, people get caught with greater missteps because they don't excpect to be spied on as much. When it's done officially minor infractions can be abused more, but people behave a bit better, and hide their true intentions and thoughts better, to protect themselves, which in turn leads those in charge thinking there is no unrest, no unhappiness over putting the pedal to the metal and squeezing the public a little harder, for more taxes, more power taken from them into the hands of politicians, until the whole thing goes through a cascading ripple, like an Earthquake that the longer it waited the bigger the damage, and I be doing everybody a service bitchin here putting my own personal safety and well being at risk, just to let the powers know, that oh no, the people are not happy, and you cannot push harder and infringe on liberties more without actual thoughts and consequences, so please watch your step because nobody is stupid, they are only careful because they have children to raise and protect, but without exception, for instance, when I bought employee offered health insurances, you can see it through the crack just how unhappy they are over the insurance scam artists scheming them outta their money, and I personally would never get the full spectrum of the lowdown then they have to go through, so I'm like a seismograph, always swinging way out on the other side of the teeter totter trying to balance with my minuscule weight the imbalances that happen, and I could spend my life and time worrying about myself instead, like everybody else does, but it's like I'm the one who can most afford to risk my personal well being over this, and I got it as my job to do the bitchin, and I try to do a damn good job at it and make those who have to read it sweat a bit, and think more careful about what they are about to do, such as increasing penalties for not buying Obamacare, which is coming, increasing taxes on the working class, and giving tax breaks to the super rich, ya know, the simple stuff, like, what is new in history? Exploiters vs. exploitees, that pretty much sums up human activities through the ages, however Marx had it wrong with Communism in the Communist Manifesto, and Washington and Jefferson had it right with liberties and private property, but in that, private property for everybody, not for a select few 0.1% cream of the crop. Just like the article at http://www.cato.org/publicatio... says it that shows clearly that people die under communism from lack of giving a fuck, and only if they can work for themselves do they care. That is, even when they work for the collective where everything comes back to them they loiter around and ultimately die off, let alone when they have to work for another guy and hand over everything, like a nobleman of feudal lord. Washington and Jefferson and the rest of the founding father's ideal was the yeoman farmer, the small property holder, as the backbone of the democracy, where everyone equally owns private property and there is a dominant middle class, to ensure that equality, but here come the ex nobilis old world order gang that have succeeded encroaching themselves in every aspect of the power structure, government, intellectual property holding firms, extending limits of what constitutes property - like I bought some bird seed sunflower seed at walmart, and i'm thunkin bout i should plant some and grow some, but here come the Monsanto suits, and according to their genetic analysis they own the concept intellectual property in that seed, and I must cease activities and destroy all the sunflower stalks, unless I can pony up X amount they pull out of their ass to compensate them for their intellectual property in it. And to that all I got to say is how the fuck would i know what genes it has, for all i know you'r
Here comes Hitler and he wants to vaccinate your kids. If they happen to be Jewish, they get one kind of cocktail, if pure bred German, the Future of the Fatherland, they get the actual vaccine. But almost everybody gets megadoses of mercury, that creates the Minamata disease, or Mad Hatter disease, can cause autism and birth defects in later off springs, etc, etc, etc. I think a patient's right to refuse medical treatment no matter what is the utmost principle in any health care. Like, if someone does not sign off on getting cut with a knife for a surgery, a doctor cannot jump and start cutting irregardless, no matter how certain he is in his mind that it's necessary. On the other hand at first it may seem fair to require kids to be educated at home, or more like at institutions that specifically accept unvaccinated children, but it gets really complicated in the real world, because you know that such institutions would be under a constant infection assault by insurance companies or medical professionals who feel like they are cutting in on their dollar. But simply being on that list and pushed into a small minority is like discrimination. Unless the medical professionals can guarantee the effects of shooting children up with mercury won't harm them, the parents of these children have the right to refuse. The best way to settle such issues is a megalawsuit by parents whose children have autism or developmental disorders, to sue the fuck out of the medical professionals and the state having forced such a thing onto them, and I'm sure there are some enterprising lawyers, especially among the minorities, would love to get a cut of the penalty rewards. There is a case actually in California where a child had learning developmental disabilities, and it was tracked down and mercury poisoning, from eating tuna fish sandwiches for each breakfast for years on, and the low level of mercury the bioaccumulates in the food chain in fat, tuna fish being pretty high up there, but humans even higher, caused mad hatter like mental disability disorders. Just to fuck competing ethnicities children over into being retarded by injecting them with mandatory vaccines loaded with toxic crap should be enough grounds to sustain the "patient's right to refuse treatment" principle. Fuck the medical professionals who have become so desensitized to disease and death that they are ultimately merely focused on bringing home a paycheck and creating unnecessary increase in free market demand for their services by getting people sick intentionally, in ambiguous ways of course, but they know, they know too damn well what they are doing is wrong, and because of that fuck Obamacare forcing everyone to pay not only these medical cocksuckers, but also the insurance fine print parasite layer that feeds on everybody and fucks them over in their weakest moments in life, when they are down sick, telling them they must have not read the fine print, when patients say I read the motherfucking fine print and did not want to buy but Obama told me to go ahead anyway else I'm violating the Law of this Land, because that service is specifically excluded from the policy coverage or has strict limitations, and when the patient says, "but I tought", then they are told "but you thought", that was your interpretation of that ambiguous sentence, and we put it in there with that very specific reason, to screw you out of your money by selling you an illusion of you thought, while retaining our interpretation of the ambiguity. That's what all lawyers feed off of, intentionally planted ambiguity bombs in the English language version of jargon they use and abuse for their own personal self interest and screw the rest of the population over and in sucker!! got you again! ha ha ha.. insurance companies, legal mumbo jumbo contracts, pyramid schemes everybody is forced to participate in, market bubbles, and the money always disappears in it.. where is the money I've been paying as premiums all these years? it's gone long time ago.. you should have know better
Which is why you need cars without chips. I'm really starting to itch for gas powered bicycles to do a 50 mile commute with, for under $500 total cost and 120 mpg running cost just to give the finger to these car companies who can't come up with a car under $30,000, because they all need radios, usb, satellite tracking and a computerized engine control unit that will shut down on you if it loses satellite tracking for too long, in the name of public safety because if they can't track a car, then terrorist might use it to do bad things. What the fuck ever. My dream car is one without chips. How about a 1972 Porsche, created before intel mass produced microprocessors. Unfortunately my car has OBD-II, including remote engine shut down ability, such as losing power breaks and power steering when coming off a highway right when you make a turn, hoping to get me into an accident. It's still better than the one I had before, that acted up every time I drove across a highway overhead bridge, like it wanted to plummet onto the lanes under, but then it finally decided to not follow my steering wheel and send me spinning in the rain at highway speeds, and I did collide with the highway berm at probably 35 mph after spinning and sliding for like 100 yards, and bounced, with both airbags deployed, my driver's side window smashed by my head, but I felt nothing except my right pinky hurting, which was really weird, because I should have felt my head hurting. I guess the powers that be who split the Red Sea to let the Jews escape from the big black Egyptian cock, can also decide accident outcomes. They used to have this thing in the middle ages called trial by ordeal. But I guess eventually too many trials by ordeals do catch up with you, because you become not worth the effort to keep saving, like prophecies are not worth to be made or fulfilled anymore starting with Mohamed as the last prophet. But I would much appreciate a car without chips, because if it has chips it's automatically untrustworthy, because it can be remote controlled, and get you killed.
Manifestos my ass. More like sticking up the finger and giving it to the Man every time he's fucking with me. Or the rest of the population. Fuck Obamacare. Fuck these corrupt cunts that encroached themselves in the government. They bring a disgrace to the name Washington, District of Columbia. Or even power mongers in Seattle, Washington. They all have these ex nobilis blood concept about themselves, like this guy http://www.fenwickhall.com/ima... , or even Biden, yet they breed themselves with the likes of Hillary, Princess Di, Kate Middleton, because they realize one of the major issues of nobility is inbreeding. Noble blood? Huh? More like genetic devastation. Nobility, and Old World Order (vetus ordo seclorum) is over with, at least in the USA, the powers that be started the New World Order (novus ordo seclorum) that you can find on the backside of Washington on the $1 bill, with the eyeball floating on top of a pyramid. The powers that be got sick and tired fed up with the other major issue of royalty and dynasties, being the issue of heirs, such as the Hapsburg Spanish war or succession, or the 30 year war devastating Germany, or the 100 year war devastating France, to which they finally put an end to by possessing Joanne D'Arc, who they did not bother saving from the flames of the clergy seeking a miracle, she has fulfilled her function, and they no longer bother with things like prophecies, their last prophet being Mohamed, because it takes too much effort and it's not worth fulfilling prophecies. But as far as kings and nobility are concerned, I'm all for genetic variety even in forms of government, but they gotta get the fuck out of the Land of Washington, the Free and the Home of the Brave, and do their nobles and kings shit in places like the United Kingdom, like Britain, or even Canada or Australia, which fall into the United Kingdom dominion. But yeah the US economy is still the biggest in the world, supposedly, until these royalty cunts that encroached themselves everywhere in places of power, like Google, or DC, or Seattle, and try to control the world and run the US economy under, so they can bring their royalty shit here too. Fuck these motherfuckers, this is the land of Timothy McVeigh, a homegrown terrorist who should be called more like a homegrown partisan guerrilla freedom fighter after the FBI attacked its own people at Waco Texas with tanks and flames over gun collecting rights. Remember when Obama got elected everyone ran to the gun stores to stack up worried that he will take away their guns. Well Fuck Obama, and fuck anyone who fucks with our guns, because it is an population armed to the teeth like in Switzerland that guarantees Liberty and National Security against an invasion, and if I vote I'm voting for anyone who protects the 2nd amendment the most that guarantees the 1st amendment rights that I'm abusing here right now, be it a Tea Party, or if they can't make it, then Republican. I used to like Hillary with her Family Leave Act of 1993, but they had to preempt her against universal healthcare with fucking Obamacare that now she has to sustain if elected, and all I got to say to that is down with the bitch. In fact down with mandatory car insurance, if they want financial responsibility on the road equally shared by everyone without insurance companies walking off with billions of megaprofit from a corrupt law, put it all in the gas tax, and have insurance adjustors doing the law required liability part from the tax funds, they can still keep their jobs, but any profit stays in the government coffers, and not walking off to offshore banks in the Bermudas of Switzerland extracted from this country over corrupt laws. Fuck these lawmakers. If they say they need to micromanage the personal responsibility of some drivers being more risky, put that into the yearly renewal fee, based on driver license points. And in that, hard points are traffic violations or at fault accidents, and
No, instead they tack on a minimum charge. As in, like Obamacare, where insurance companies feel like they don't have enough free market demand where people willingly purchase their product, they can lobby the corrupt cunts that infested our government of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave and get a fucking law passed where people are forced to buy regardless of price, or they pay a tax penalty. Fuck Obamacare. I make my purchase decisions based on price, and if an insurance company is not giving me a fucking price I like, I don't have to fucking buy. Same goes for fucking car insurance, or any fucking forced gambling policy full of small print exclusions and raping everyone in the asshole bullshit on finances right at the lowest points in their lives, when they are sick. Fuck these insurance company agents, they all need to fucking find an honest way to make a living instead of raping a dollar out of everybody by forcing bullshit policies with all kinds of exclusions and small prints down at outrageous profit prices down everyone's throat by lobbying the government to pass a motherfucking corrupt law called Obamacare. Fuck Obamacare not about you, Obamacare only about his filthy rich insurance buddies pockets to be filled. Like how is this guy helping out the average working person? Dude if I wanted to buy insurance I could have bought it before you passed this fucking corrupt law, all you accomplished with it is that prices went up when people buy anyway, so the insurance companies make even more money, and people who used to buy, now they pay even more, partly because of this corrupt law. And by the way doctors are all fucking corrupt too. My simple policy of dealing with a doctor is that I can't pay you now, but I'll try to pay you later. Then he has a strong incentive to fix me up so he can make some money on me, including not performing a bunch of unneeded procedures, because some insurance will pay for it anyway. And if a doctor is so money focused that he's not willing to deal with me like that, that's good, then that's exactly the kind of doctor I don't want touching me or coming near me. Fuck Obamacare. Fuck doctors who come on TV and tell you "you know what's worse than bombs? words. words" here motherfucker doctor claiming to be a soft tissue expert going against his Hippocratic oath of do no harm and giving throat infections to people, so that he can make more money, here, I drop these words for you like bombs because you need to fucking die and rot in hell for willfully infecting people to create more business for yourself. Or to force people into intellectual property only creating type jobs, and my reply to that is that I'll rape a new asshole to any fucking intellectual property organization or just the whole idea in general, especially those that make the most on intellectual property, yet are the most corrupt vermin that ever crawled on the surface of this planet, including all the Microsoft gang raping everyone out of their creations via their embrace extend extinguish well tuned method, and their most recent problem is lack of competitors to copy and rape via embrace extend extinguish, yet these cunts are the ones that whine most about piracy and intellectual property violations. They forget how they got started by pretty much copying CP/M of Gary Kildall who died from a blunt force trauma to the head in a biker bar, with their MSDOS 1.0. And these people wonder why creative people don't want to work for them, or why the computing field lacks the dynamic creativity of the 90's and before. It's because of these cocksuckers making it shitty for everyone who ever stepped foot in the computing business hoping to have a career and livelihood for the rest of their lives by starting their own business, just to learn it the hard way what the microsoft and rest of the gange steamrolling machine does to you, by raping you of your intellectual property, and if anyone has talent their best strategy is to lay low, off the fucking radar, cuz these cunts at Microsoft are desperate for some talent els
My car radio been dead for my past 3 cars, for the last 4 years. If you really want a radio you can bring one along in the car. Why they even have car radios. On the other hand, I start not to trust anything digital anymore. If it has a chip, it means it cannot be trusted. You use it, but it's nowhere near as reliable as analog with simple, visible components, when it comes to reliability and trustworthiness, even if analog means sucky accuracy or fidelity or quality. This includes measuring equipments, cars that have their own minds and intentionally drive you into an accident, or radio eavesdropping and gps-locating you at all times. You still have the right to plead the fifth, but those who collect data about you have the power to use it when it fits them, including not to use it when it would provide an alibi while they are framing you with false witnesses. This is my ultraparanoid side speaking again. Hello.
sometimes I wonder if the water supplies were not drained secretly, just to tap the talent of the populace to come up with ways to live better under water shortage conditions, that can be monkeyed by others.. oh, i dunno, some oil sheiks from deserts would have enough money to peddle in politics and pull some strings here and there, putting key people into key places.. but this is my ultra-paranoid side speaking again.. hello..
Yeah, but what you are forgetting is topsoil depth is pretty lacking around the world, and when trees die, decay and go back into the global carbon cycle, a portion of them is converted into usable fertile black humus rich topsoil, which is undigestable to even the top digesting lifeforms. Topsoil by far is the ultimate form of carbon sequestration, and also the source of underground coal after millions of years if it undergoes tectonic heat and molten lava silicate phase separation.
On another note, the diagram these scientists give requires two photon captures, one for generating a proton and oxygen, and a 2nd that generates acetate from proton and CO2. This may be the most efficient, hard to tell, but I expected one stage for photon capture that generates temporary chemical energy, and another stage that converts that chemical energy consuming CO2 into acetate, without requiring a 2nd photon capture. Ocean floor volcanic eruption environments have bacterial lifeforms and a whole ecosystem fueled by not the Sun, like the rest of life on planet, but the internal heat of the Earth. These creatures live in absence of sunlight completely and they are based on a sulfur based high energy low energy state chemical cycle. As a crude adaptation one might just have a concentrating solar power collector and a sample of the biosphere from such an environment with water recirculated near the "volcanic eruption hot zone" in a solar concentrator, and cooled to the other zones where these lifeforms live, and there you go, you have a solar based CO2 captturing station, but quantum efficiency would probably be low. However that sulfur cycle could be used as a starting point to create something where the solar capturing stage can be separated from the bacterial farming stage, such as bacteria living in huge underground ponds aerated with CO2 (possibly captured via ethanolaminej or something untouched by the lifeforms in a massive downdraft solar tower) and the light collection sections could take up all the real estate, moreover they could be super high temperature if needed, where reaction rates are faster possibly giving better quantum efficiencies too.
It's like this: I know windows is probably the most pirated software, simply because a computer won't run without it, but it's an insult to be putting a coa sticker on the computer, or inside it, or even labeling a computer "designed for windows 7 or xp." Wtf? How about I put a COA sticker on the computer for XP, then MS Office XP 2002, one for MS Office Visio because that was not bundled with anyting, then one for Age of Empires Gold or Platinum, Age of Kings, Rise of Nations, then Microsoft Streets and Trips, etc etc, then what if other software producers started this practice too, wait, there are almost no other software producers because they are either forced to give their stuff away for free, or been outcompeted, with a few exceptions like Adobe Photoshop, etc, so stickers for all that, and soon you need to attack a stamp collection album to every computer, and drag it around with you to prove that you do in fact have the right to use the computer and all the software that's on it, at least as long as the sticker does not scratch away and the computer goes to shit needing a reinstall, and then oops, you forgot to memorize your COA activation key number next to the holographic certificate that proves your right to use it, and now it's destroyed beyond readability and must go out to purchase another copy, cha chin! COA stickers are insults, but at least it's not as bad as Autocad requiring a usb dongle or LPT port dongle to run a piece of software, so there are some that get wilder. People put up with it while they have to, but in the end the proper solution to such issues is market competition, but it's like Microsoft and gang of similar software companies that include Adobe, Corel, Novell, Oracle, Apple, etc, have been so good at eating up their competition alive, and purchase, merge, embrace, duplicate, extend, extinguish them, that these days their biggest problem is lack of competition itself, they so scared away everybody from the computing field that nobody dares to dip their toes into that shark infested water and daydream about making their own fortune as a software company, because of the lessons learned from how other software entrepreneurs fared, so it's best to stay under the radar, so their biggest issues these days is lack of competition that would come up with great and novel ideas they could copy, embrace extend and extinguish, so lacking anything novel that would make people really want to upgrade, they are forced to keep selling the same thing over and over, time after time, year after year, month after month, which by definition is called a rental, starting with Windows 10. If there were healthy competition in the computing field, and these mofos weren't so successful in hogging any controlling and all important intellectual property there is in the world and exterminating anyone who dares even hope to also own some, we could all live in a better world, including their distant family members, who, in the end also suffer in the sense of not the best possible world coming about where creativity and innovation is hindered by monopolistic abuse practices. For instance, in New York prices are so high, rent and parking, that people taking their dad to a dinner in a restaurant will stand next to a traffic meter waiting for the next minute to roll over to save 3 bucks. Yeah I understand real estate is pricey under congestion, and high demand, but really? Why do you want to live like that, suffer under such artifacts of wasting your precious time in life from driving prices to insane heights. It's like the greatest problem in the USA is property hoggers who love to make easy money by hogging property, then sitting back and relaxing, and milking it for letting others get access to it, such as rent, intellectual, etc, all property, then of course driving prices and values through the starry sky, whatever the free market will bear, because it benefits them, those who own and control it if the prices are high. Yes property has a very important place in the world, but you have to stay reasonable and in balan
Yeah. Like a simple printable form, you can fill out by hand, then scan it. Done, electronic medical records done, scan it as a png image. Then they can run their OCR's and stuff, without having to waste hospital staff time, trying to enter information and knowing all the artifacts and gotchas and protocol routine of click click click click you get to that screen, scroll scroll scroll, 3/4 down you find a checkbox, tick that, go back, click, click, click, click, and you get to the point where you can enter the one sentence you wanted to. And every software supplier has their own custom ways. What a massive waste of time, high learning curve, and huuuuge cost managing those database interface gotchas. Simple way to solve the electronic record keeping requirement: have a folder cabinet and keep paper records, then scan them as a png that can be uploaded and backed up. If you want to transform that into a more searchable database, have medical transcribers at the backend who know all the doctors and patients "interpret" what was written, and convert it to text, google books or archive org or gutenberg project OCR style, but the original hand written scan, including patient signatures ARE the records (even though signatures can be faked too, but if two signatures exactly identical, you can see it's fake. those electronic pads you sign, like credit card stations at Walmart, I can never do a nice looking signature I can claim as my own or reject if confronted with - a piece of paper signature, and a scan so much better. As far as security is concerned, have a vault for the paper copies if you have to, or a federally mandated "safe" instead of filing cabinet (more like filing cabinet security standards where they are not so easy to haul away or break into), and when the computer is down, the internet is down, or your IT person is off sick and you're stuck, you can fall back to the paper copies anyone can do, and catch up later on the electronic record keeping, without being stuck unable to follow healthcare procedures with a patient, because the official record keeping electronic system is down, so the patient has to wait sick til they can fix it and obtain a consent signature officially recorded. What a fucking load of bullshit and artifact complication getting in the way, all for the sake of the computing professionals making a dollar, having lobbies the corrupt cunts up in the government.
The advantage or Active Directory is that Microsoft holds a monopoly on operating system software where they can require all customers bend over and install COA stickers on computers (which they don't require in software they hold no monopoly position in), and the customer has no option but put up with it if they want to use this marvel of technology called computers at all. But unless the Swedes can make their own chips and CPU's, little do they realize that computers bought next year will be required to install in the UEFI BIOS replacement a check for Windows, required by Microsoft or their manufacturers don't get the discounts their competitors get, and then there goes the aspirations of the Swedes to break away from the chains installed onto them by the monopolies, and use an alternative to the monopoly instead, like Linux, if they wish to use computers at all. So all hail to Active Directory or whatever piece of shit software they cook out and release into the public at Microsoft these days, because that is gonna be your only option if you want to use computers at all, they make sure of that, that's what they are best at, not creating things, but embrance, extend, extinguish alternatives, which is how they got to the point where they are, sporting the richest people that ever walked on the surface of this planet.
I beg to differ in opinion, which are like assholes. I bet they select audits based on: - political motivation - somebody accumulating money in their bank account, or paying off a mortgage too fast, either of which is illegal
so if you want to stay under the radar, make sure you're not keeping your belt too tight and getting ahead, instead you buy that overpriced ipod or cable subscription.. just to hang with the crowd, like ocean fish defend by swimming in schools of large numbers together, and if they hang out too much, it's easier for a predator to single them out and focus on them
You know what I call a smart sewer? An outhouse. Your shit stays put. Got a deadly genetically modified cooked up at Monsanto Labs biological warfare infection? It stays with you, instead of going to the treatment plant where it might survive and be released into the wild, contaminating natural rivers, lakes, oceans.
The IRS is a money making machine. They select audits based on income levels where the belt is kept too tight and things are out of average on statistics, unless they are playing politics with someone who misbehaves, as agents of Da Man himself. So they are not gonna spend $2000 in agent salaries where there is a suspicion of $5 tax revenue missing. Nor are they gonna really harass people with a total income at the federal poverty level, unless there is a suspicion of a lot of under the table income. Who they go after is the big fish, big bucks, to them it's a lot better investment to spend $2000 bothering someone cheating them out of $200,000 in taxes, than spending the same on someone cheating them out of $20. It's just the way things work in the real world, and if they don't, something smells really fishy there. Like they can go after someone earning near the poverty level, for political reasons, such as being a Linux programmer, or the like. Oh btw linux programmers tend to die in mysterious accidents instead of IRS audits, that's a less conspicuous way to deal with them instead of giving them IRS audits when their income is low. Or they get framed for stuff, like Reiser. How do you trust who you marry? Especially mail order brides? They'll have children with you, then pretend being killed and go back to their home country with 2 million dollars, paid for by Da Man, and they leave their kids with you behind, as per initial agreement when they signed up for the deal. $2 million can go a long way in a lot of places in the world, including bringing whole villages and towns out of desolation, and people are willing to make kids over it and leave them behind, after all the kids won't die, they'll probably live a better life than most kids around the world. Yeah, my imagination is soooper! So back to the real world, IRS algorithms and stuff, they deal with the real world, and if you don't have a lot of money, nor make a lot of money, you're safe from them. What are they gonna find where there is no money? A lot of wasted time of their own.
I like a woman with good looks who cooks and cleans.
And btw the US is not going bankrupt from military waste, but from the cost of living waste where the government has to finance the insane costs of property, i.e. housing which is by far the most massive bill in everyone's budget, at least this stupid Obamacare King Kong arrived into everyone's budget to dwarf housing cost - insanity! Yeah I'm paying taxes to buy me some military protection against another Ghenghis Khan, not to have other people breed out of control on welfare on it, nor landlord cocksuckers pocket it all and buy golf courses and yachts on it, racking up government debt. In face of international competition of $5/day in places like Mexico, trying to sustain a 1500/mo rent in places like New York is only possible by racking up government debt. That's what's fucking wrong with the country, cost of living, and in that, cost of property. Landlords be like "but i, as an entrepreneus, invested 3 million dollars into this house so I can recoup it at 1500/mo, I can't make the mortgage payments on renting it to somebody who makes $5/day. Solution? It's simple - go on unemployment, then on welfare, and let the government pay the $1500/mo directly into the landlord's pockets, and wait while hyperinflation makes that 1500/mo equivalent to $4/day, so if you make $5/day, like in Mexico, you have $1 left over after you spend your $4/day housing cost, competing against places like China where $1/day pays for the whole show, because their housing cost and cost of living is not as insane as ours. Hyperinflation should annul the government debt too, but it would wreak havoc on the global financial market all pitted on the US dollar, at least until the China-Russia-EU bank conglomerate replaces it with something else, just to help us out and allow us to hyperinflate our currency to get rid of debt and make housing cost more sane, without dragging down the whole world with us, it's what you call smooth landing and the replacing of the US dollar with say US florins or US denars, or whatever. That's what happens when a financial system gets totally fucked, erase, replace, start over, bankruptcy, or, if you think we're gonna pick up our asses, fix everything that's wrong, and pay off the government debt by competing in the world market against people making $1 or $5 a day while we pay 1500/mo rent or mortgage in some places, commute for hours in 20K+ cars, then I ask you what are you smoking because I want some of that too. How you gonna get people off welfare and give them a job? Cuz right now, with free money falling from the sky called welfare the best interest of any ethnic group is to breed as fast as they can, starting at age 13, just to get voting majority and their way in politics, leading to even more welfare money and even more breeding out of control, without a way to earn an income fully dependent on government aid. And all Obamacare does is put even more people on government aid, working people who used to manage and try to stay within budget, now they surpass that mental roadblock saying everyone's doing it. Where is Obama gonna get the funds to pay for all that money going into his filthy rich insurance buddies' pockets? I know, more government debt! It's like even the powers that be, like insurance companies, or places like Microsoft about to charge rental fees starting with Windows 10, have given up on the idea of saving the system, they are like bees when they get smoked, start gobbling up all the honey they can before it's time to abandon the nest because a forest fire is about to destroy it. Getting the last bits out right before the whole friggin circus collapses, and starvation of the welfare dependents begins, when the welfare checks stop, and nobody is gonna dedicate their own personal time to put food on your table if they are not getting paid, everyone will worry about their own personal problems, of putting food on their own table.
Y'all forgetting that this is nothing more than some advanced cruise control. It may do object recognition, such as an accident pile up in the distance, or even a deer or bear walking across the street, however it will never be able to differentiate between a lawn ornament deer, or a live deer standing next to the road, about to enter the road, where even humans have problem. So falling asleep for the driver is out of the question. With trains it would be different, but even there often a decision has to be made in object recognition, and intents. Artificial intelligence equivalent to human intelligence is dangerous, and these visual object recognition and behavior predicting computing exercises are the critical first steps toward machine intelligence, and it's hard to see where the limiting point to machine intellect power would be set, it'd be always lets go another inch, another feature, another ability, then we limit ourselves to make sure we don't create something that takes over the world kills us all. Machine intellect and machine "life" has the power to exist in the vacuum of outer space, devour any matter, including all planets, moons and asteroids to build itself bigger or more numerous, and in that you and I have some carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium phosphate, etc. in us that it might go after as food or structural material for itself or its own kind. Ethics this ethics that, it's sad how even the smartest people that ever lived participated in wars of self interest, in fact the two World Wars have been between pretty damn smart people. So just that simple fact is no guarantee that artificial intelligence or machine intelligence will sustain genetic variety of lifeforms, you'd hope it would but it's not guaranteed, and because of that it's the greatest threat facing humanity, greater than genetic modification bioterrorism, and these two far outdo the threat of a nuclear apocalypse, which would probably be pretty easy to live through, because it would be dumb, not actively seeking your destruction in smart ways like a specifically created biological weapon whose antidote no longer functions due to a mutation and devastates all lifeforms including plants, animals, bacteria, or a machine whose reflexes, memory and computing power far outdoes reflexes of any carbon based nerves and nervous system. By far the military is the strongest driver for this kind of visual recognition projects, where an edge in capability over the competing nations could mean the difference between life and death, i.e. between winning or losing a war. Unfortunately that's the way things are. I'm not as excited about this new tech as these truck drivers wanting to catch some badly needed sleep. As long as it's advanced cruise control that lessens the load on the brain and muscles so they don't get as tired, I guess, but I would never agree to a situation where truck drivers are okay to fall asleep while the truck is moving, however with trains on a track, with a built in alarm to wake them up in case there is something in the distance 3-5 minutes from now, that would be okay, as it takes about that long for a train to stop anyway, and if there in another issue that requires a 10 second reaction time, well, with a train moving at speed it's irrelevant anyway, because trains don't stop on a dime anyway.
Slashdot Mirror
Fuck Microsoft embracing Linux. They are supposed to pimp their own genetic variability in computing, which is Windows. Back in 98, around the pinnacle of creativity of the company, they had Win32 C API, Office 97, VBA, VB Classic, and pretty much owned the desktop. Ever since they turned 180 degrees trying to subdue Netscape and Java, they kind of suceeded, but neither is a monoculture of IE a secure environment, nor is the java killer dotnet such a great idea, when, after all, the almost sole purpose of java was platform independence bytecodes, so I don't know what the heck is dotnet doing on Windows for platform independence when Microsoft's only goal is to run it on windows, or, even if it runs on other platforms, to kill those platforms.
Only 2 things can come of Microsoft messing with Linux. One, they embrace extend extinguish it like so many other things, in a Suse/Novell tag on some proprietary crap onto it that becomes a de facto standard, then mess up the miracle of Linux that way, once they control it as a standard, and beat everyone into obedience to them, kind of like trying to beat every customer into dotnet, which is not flying very well. Dotnet is a bloatload of crap massive stuck in honey like quicksand waste of efficiency and performance and verbosity. Yeah, verbose is specific, but come on maaaan. Who got that much time in their lives to scan through so many letters and characters, or how can you come up with a trick to skip the unimportant details and focus on the relevant stuff. Even oldschool VB and VBA had a With/End With construct, so what's with all this dotnet and python and java verbosity these days. ...and.. Linux. In fact some kind of commercial Microsoft Unix might be welcome, at a low price competing with AIX or SCO, without messing with the GPL and trying to subdue the Linux side of Unix. In fact I'd love to see a realtime souped up MS DOS with full hardware access (they are paranoid about giving hardware access anymore) for offline applications, MS Unix, MS Desktop/Workstation/Server Windows, and MS Mobile Windows, where you could blend the mobile and desktop aspects on a laptop or netbook, or the Workstation/Server aspects on a desktop, or do any of those varieties on any of the devices, of course the mobile version flying leaving everything in the dust on a workstation hardware, but very low on features, kinda like mobile versions of twitter and facebook, they are fast like google and simple, and sometimes that's all you want, but if you got the cpu muscle and electricity to spare, go for the eyecandy full of details glittering versions, but those versions bring netbooks to their knees because of hardware requirements. Give the customer options to pick from, instead of trying to bludgeon them into abiding to your worldview, because, ultimately the customer is king, and does not have to make a purchase. Unless Obama passes an Obamacare for Microsoft where he forces everyone to buy a yearly Windows 10 rental subscription, no matter what the price, or no matter what crappy product or service a customer gets in return. How about Obama forces everyone to buy gas utility service no matter what the price, where it's available, and if the you cannot afford it, he'll pay for it himself in your name as private profit into his buddies pockets working at utility companies that made their campaign contributions when he was elected, and he'll use all those surplus dollars sitting in the government treasur
2. Microsoft gives in to Linux and hands over the olympic torch or relay race stick to Linux and they disappear. Their job is to maintain their own variability and survive in the computing field, without either driving other varieties to extinction, nor going themselves extinct. Every time Microsoft messes with Linux both of those things are at the forefront. If anything, they should mess with "Unix" as a standard, whereby whatever they create or mess with works equally on commercial Unix like AIX or Solaris or Irix or HP-UX or SCO Unix, or OSX, FreeBSD and other BSD's,
I haven't been praying much these days because as far as I'm concerned, I have was forced to pray 7 lifetimes worth of rosaries when I was 5-10 years old, 3 hrs each evening, til I rebelled, but I started praying again, every waking moment I pray that Obama and Biden and Clinton and all their family suffer the exact same pain and suffering their corrupt healthcare law they enacted causes to those people who don't buy, including forced infections and forced cancers, at least as long as this corrupt law stands and is not abolished. I don't own a fucking fee to anybody for being alive, especially not to some for profit private party, and if that means I have to die instead of go to a hospital, so be it. While this law stands I do no step foot inside a hospital, and if I am taken there by force, I will do whatever is in my power to lay wreck to expensive equipment or create as much damage in return as I possibly can, til they shoot me like a circus elephant gone rampant. If I can take out a ct-scan machine before being shot and killed, I have not lived in vain. Goddamn, God please damn health care people like doctors that say things like you're gonna beg to die once we infect you with our soft tissue expertise, and let them suffer that fate themselves instead, including all people involved in this quest to make another dollar by willful infections, including insurance agents and politicians, let them and their families all suffer from forced infections and death like they cause it to other people, as long as this corrupt law called Obamacare stands. Amen. Forced gambling policy purchases at arbitrary prices from for profit entitites? What the fuck ever.
bla bla bla
the issue with carbon recycling the form of CO2 is twofold - it's a gas that must be stored under high pressure, like propane or butane, and two, it's not so great on energy density once you have to capture and haul along the heavy CO2 from like an automobile... harvesting CO2 from the atmosphere via ethanol amine ponds could be pondered, but otherwise all green life forms compete for the 0.03% CO2 in air, which is rising though and creates global warming and desertification or junglification and bad weather, but by far the fastest growing tomatoes are grown in the Dead Sea Valley which is the lowest dry point on Earth, and the sole reason is partial pressure of CO2 and carbon availablity is the highest anywhere in the world... such is the issue with scarcity of CO2 scrubbed from the atmosphere, but that is not to say, that when you have energy to blow, like solar in a desert, and nothing good to store it into, harvesting even humidity and CO2 from the atmosphere wasting a ton of energy because energy is cheap is not economically feasible
but otherwise, if a full recycling circle is done, a liquid or solid end product carried back to a recycling gas station is preferable, and in this lithium borohydride to lithium borate fuel cell for cars sounds like an expensive but leaves the CO2 recycling in the dust, or, even just lithium metal, beryllium metal (toxid), boron, or aluminum, and their hydrides beat carbon in energy storing efficiency by weight, but for stationary home based uses environmentally fairly friendly alkaline zinc air or iron air battery type setups might be more economical on a storage density by volume and cost basis even if by weight they both suck, and the zinc or electrolytic iron cathodes can be removed and stacked in a pile..
carbon's main ergonomic and energy efficiency efficiency lies in the fact that it's a gas that can be freely emitted through an exhaust, and capturing it back from that dilute form is very expensive energy wise.. not emitting it, and capturing it, like a car that has no exhaust pipe and instead embarks on compressing and heat echange cooling the CO2 into a compressed liquid cylinder has all kinds of issues, similar to the loco loco's page i'll cite below in the references
ref 1: chart I made a while back that relates to rocket fuels and this CO2 recycling question:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F...
it also explains why the space shuttle running on liquid hydrogen was such a bad idea, compared to solid rocket boosters based on aluminum - just compare carbon, hydrogen and aluminum (or boron or beryllium or lithium) in the above chart. Yes hydrogen has the highest energy storage density by weight even if it really really sucks by volume (cryogenic hydrogen that must be vented to stay cold is only 1/8th the density of water) and plain gasoline has more hydrogen in a gallon than cryogenic liquid hydrogen does, true it weighs a whole lot more.. still.. if you have to carry along the oxidizer too, such as liquid oxygen required for rockets, hydrogen sucks compared to aluminum powder powered solid rocket boosters even that mammoth dinosaur contraption of a Shuttle had to resort to just to get up there into space
ref.2 here is a chart I made a while back that somebody revised into svg with python
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w...
here is the original I made with an Excel screenshot
http://commons.wikimedia.org/w...
note that iron and zinc, with easy aqueous battery chemistries leave liquid hydrogen in the dust when it comes to energy density by volume, but they do suck by weight indeed.. boron, aluminum, silicon, lithium have no easy aqueous recycling chemistries, though some semi-aqueous processes might be found that are economical for both the abundant aluminum and magnesium. I'
how about another corrupt obamacare law passed where obamacare not about you but his buddies at high places at microsoft or google and passes a law where everyone must buy windows 10, or sign up for google+ else they get to pay a fucking tax penalty.. fuck that retard including his vice president biden and the rest of his gang
the only problem with google+ for me is that it absolutely craaaaawls on an HP Mini 210 netbook.. javascript feces pouring down drenching this little wonder.. even facebook and twitter i only use the mobile site versions, as the main sites also drench this little thing with their elephant poop mixed with glue javascript feces that bogs everything down.. why oh why does one need a quad core supercomputer guzzling gazillions of watts to read fucking text, or view images and video on a stupid webpage? I'm glad they are failing.. they should learn their lesson.. to everything there are consequences, such as malicious coding, because ultimately the customer is always king, even if you like to believe it differently temporarily.. people can walk away even from computers whatsoever, after they feel too much shit taste from arrogant bitches like microsoft fucking with them constantly
Yeah, like good luck trying to win a case against Microsoft or IBM or similar patent trolls (I think IBM clocks the most patents, but I don't see any products labeled IBM I'm using, so it's like they are not really innovating, more like trolling, unlike Arm chips for instance, or even Intel and AMD), as there is no judge or lawyers alive who will go against the big dogs and risk their own livelihood and own children's welfare pissing them up while upholding justice. So that's all that intellectual property laws ensure, more ways and means to abuse power, and the lil guy, the individual inventor has all the more reason to hate intellectual property rules they concocted out of nothing, cuz all they get out of that is abuse from people that got good at not creating anything, but abusing the artifacts and subjugating everyone else into intellectual property slavery. And Microsoft and gang is pretty high up on that list when it comes to abuses, and they, but also Disney, are the main reason why intellectual property in general is viewed as something horrible, besides some publishing or label houses that pay like 50/50 or much less to the actual creators.
I been to Niagara Falls, behind the waterfall. It's not really all that.
Apple makes portable drives called time capsules. Maybe they could enhance the selection in their product lines and add one of these balls to their list of offerings, called a zombie apocalypse or nuclear apocalypse capsule. In a nuclear apocalypse you only have to make it for 1 year or 10 years, which is the amount of time they keep nuclear waste in a pond near the reactor, for the half lives to decay away, then there is a window in halflives for all possible decay elements, and the next ones have halflives on the order of hundreds or maybe thousands of years, which makes them faily safe and livable, or more like at least compared to the initial year or decade.
Make sure the include iodine and strontium nonradiating isotope doses, which people will have to use to replenish their bodies (iodine is in HGH, most important, while strontium not so much, other than for strong bone crystals you need crack propagation stopping defect sites, my guess is that, and then you have to eat pure strontium purified calcium only material, such as processed eggshells or even mined limestone but not seasalt or seawater extracted calcium, or seafood, where the calcium would be polluted with bone marrow destroying contamination.
The way the world is headed, increasingly stressed on rising costs, lack of resources and ever increasing population, there is a good chance that eventually somebody somewhere would go nuts and initiate a nuclear war. For instance when Henry Kissinger tried bludgeoning Mao Ze Dong into submission by threatening him with nukes, he replied: you threateing us? We welcome a nuclear war, in fact we could send 150 million women to the US and get instant voting majority over there and not even feel the loss in population from the 3/4 billion we have here (now it's 1.3 billion only increasing at a rate of 150 million per decade or so, or it used to in the 90's, which is still half the population of the US amount of growth per decade, but at least they have a one child policy, unlike India which just reached 1 billion in like 2007 and now they are about to overtake China with their 1.2 billion these days, and they have no one child policy, instead they have rolling blackouts of their electric grid crumbling from the load, they pull off a Mars mission costing not only less than what NASA spends on it, but costing less than Hollywood spends making a movie about going to Mars. They are also sitting on a shitload of Thorium, biggest reserve in the world, which can, in theory, with effort, be converted into you threaten us with your guns? Well our Buddha smiles back right back at you which a flash followed by a mushroom cloud. Check out this picture, http://i.imgur.com/I81xSNt.png Can you find Australia and Canada, dominion of the United Kingdom on it? What these mofos lack the most is good free porn and looser morals. Plus one is mostly ice, the other mostly desert, while India, Vietnam and Indonesia are mostly monsoon jungle. In Freedoom doom2 in later levels there are kama sutra or indian looking wall decorations everywhere, I have no clue if that's any kind of Omen. For now lots of Indians are vegetarian, but they have been bruised and abused through history with muslim invader pasha's shooting cannon balls at the Iron Pillar in Delhi, shedding a whole lot of their territory to muslim majority countries of Bangladesh and Pakistan (yeah now look at that chart again and include Pakistan and Bangladesh into your image of beach assault soldiers and count how much ammo you need to defend in case you have to), then they were the crown jewel of the British crown (i'm betting a good 50-80% of income of the british royalty that supported their world dominant navy such as at the Battle of Jutland was extracted from India, while the people there starved, just like people starved in Ireland during the potato famine while grain was being exported to England from Ireland, what else is new) with bloody putting
What I'm looking for in a computer is the ability to run Windows 2000 which was the last version that would function in a zombie apocalypse without needing online activation on a computer the hacked together from broken parts from other similar computers that failed. XP would run on HP and Dell if it finds the right hardware, and it's complicated. Also if it can run Win2K, it can almost certainly run BSD 4.4 Lite even in an intellectual property abusing world where police enter your home like the commies used to and take your food to collect taxes, or your computers that they deem illegal, and technically BSD 4.4 lite has legal precedent officially blessed by AT&T and a court case for public domain release, and it is what OS X was ultimately crafted from or you can craft your own, but anything later, like SATA based crap or more recent innovations all bring along recent patents and harassment over those.. but all the patents from the BSD 4.4. lite era should be expired now and you can have you own x86 computer INCLUDING an operating system with a source code even if they ban anything "communist" based on GPL like Microsoft has been lobbying the government to ban, GPL being antiamerican because it doesn't fit their embrace extend extinguish policy, instead it's a poison pill for that, but even Microsoft blesses BSD licenses that they can freely copy, in fact, for starters, that's where they got the source code to implement basic internet access things in Win95 and later, when their own NetBEUI or Novell IPX/SPX has fallen out of favor over the much more robustly designed Unix tcp/ip. Unix used to have so many things so right back in the day, but it's getting worse, with systemd, and nonmodular noncomplicated systems, which are the best ways of asking for headaches and trouble. Even Linux has issues such as starting with the 2.4 kernel they intentionally paid their programmers to contribute code to the linux kernel, then went into this puppet lawsuit with SCO asking IBM a couple billion dollars worth of pocket change from them over their programmer's brains being "tainted" by having read the official Unix source codes, and it all caused misappropriation of code and intellectual property, and what a fucking joke that gives me a headache from these cocksuckers in power up at the top tossing around billions and yanking the whole publics dogchain over intellectual property issues and I just feel like giving the finger to them, but yeah, even if you pay attention, Linux 2.2 kernels are pre IBM sabotage, not very good compared to 2.4 that comes with things like ipchains, but still usable. And they should also run on Win2K capable computers, Pentium 3/Pentium 4 era ones, without sata, just pain IDE. Ebay has some deals where such computers are getting dumped as garbage because they can no longer go on the internet nor can people play the latest games on them. And I don't have money, but considering all of the above I feel obligated to buy anyway, especially when the news of Windows 10 as rental only hits the market, and like with apartments, when the rent is up you move out to a different one, but when the rent goes up on Windows 10, what alternative are you gonna move to? When every hardware comes with windows only drivers? Yeah, get ready to live your life computing free, like in the good old days, and there goes the digital millenium and all the powermongering bullshit that comes with it down the drain with it, and you can be finally unobstructed and free again! Unless Obama or whoever is president then passes a law forcing people to buy Windows computers and pay the rental fee for it, no matter what the price, no matter even if they don't feel like buying because they don't find it to be a good deal for themselves. Fuck Obamacare.
Well it's like this. 1984. No matter what the lawbooks say, people are gonna get spied on regardless, whether officially and unofficially. When it's done unofficially, people get caught with greater missteps because they don't excpect to be spied on as much. When it's done officially minor infractions can be abused more, but people behave a bit better, and hide their true intentions and thoughts better, to protect themselves, which in turn leads those in charge thinking there is no unrest, no unhappiness over putting the pedal to the metal and squeezing the public a little harder, for more taxes, more power taken from them into the hands of politicians, until the whole thing goes through a cascading ripple, like an Earthquake that the longer it waited the bigger the damage, and I be doing everybody a service bitchin here putting my own personal safety and well being at risk, just to let the powers know, that oh no, the people are not happy, and you cannot push harder and infringe on liberties more without actual thoughts and consequences, so please watch your step because nobody is stupid, they are only careful because they have children to raise and protect, but without exception, for instance, when I bought employee offered health insurances, you can see it through the crack just how unhappy they are over the insurance scam artists scheming them outta their money, and I personally would never get the full spectrum of the lowdown then they have to go through, so I'm like a seismograph, always swinging way out on the other side of the teeter totter trying to balance with my minuscule weight the imbalances that happen, and I could spend my life and time worrying about myself instead, like everybody else does, but it's like I'm the one who can most afford to risk my personal well being over this, and I got it as my job to do the bitchin, and I try to do a damn good job at it and make those who have to read it sweat a bit, and think more careful about what they are about to do, such as increasing penalties for not buying Obamacare, which is coming, increasing taxes on the working class, and giving tax breaks to the super rich, ya know, the simple stuff, like, what is new in history? Exploiters vs. exploitees, that pretty much sums up human activities through the ages, however Marx had it wrong with Communism in the Communist Manifesto, and Washington and Jefferson had it right with liberties and private property, but in that, private property for everybody, not for a select few 0.1% cream of the crop. Just like the article at http://www.cato.org/publicatio... says it that shows clearly that people die under communism from lack of giving a fuck, and only if they can work for themselves do they care. That is, even when they work for the collective where everything comes back to them they loiter around and ultimately die off, let alone when they have to work for another guy and hand over everything, like a nobleman of feudal lord. Washington and Jefferson and the rest of the founding father's ideal was the yeoman farmer, the small property holder, as the backbone of the democracy, where everyone equally owns private property and there is a dominant middle class, to ensure that equality, but here come the ex nobilis old world order gang that have succeeded encroaching themselves in every aspect of the power structure, government, intellectual property holding firms, extending limits of what constitutes property - like I bought some bird seed sunflower seed at walmart, and i'm thunkin bout i should plant some and grow some, but here come the Monsanto suits, and according to their genetic analysis they own the concept intellectual property in that seed, and I must cease activities and destroy all the sunflower stalks, unless I can pony up X amount they pull out of their ass to compensate them for their intellectual property in it. And to that all I got to say is how the fuck would i know what genes it has, for all i know you'r
Here comes Hitler and he wants to vaccinate your kids. If they happen to be Jewish, they get one kind of cocktail, if pure bred German, the Future of the Fatherland, they get the actual vaccine. But almost everybody gets megadoses of mercury, that creates the Minamata disease, or Mad Hatter disease, can cause autism and birth defects in later off springs, etc, etc, etc. I think a patient's right to refuse medical treatment no matter what is the utmost principle in any health care. Like, if someone does not sign off on getting cut with a knife for a surgery, a doctor cannot jump and start cutting irregardless, no matter how certain he is in his mind that it's necessary. On the other hand at first it may seem fair to require kids to be educated at home, or more like at institutions that specifically accept unvaccinated children, but it gets really complicated in the real world, because you know that such institutions would be under a constant infection assault by insurance companies or medical professionals who feel like they are cutting in on their dollar. But simply being on that list and pushed into a small minority is like discrimination. Unless the medical professionals can guarantee the effects of shooting children up with mercury won't harm them, the parents of these children have the right to refuse. The best way to settle such issues is a megalawsuit by parents whose children have autism or developmental disorders, to sue the fuck out of the medical professionals and the state having forced such a thing onto them, and I'm sure there are some enterprising lawyers, especially among the minorities, would love to get a cut of the penalty rewards. There is a case actually in California where a child had learning developmental disabilities, and it was tracked down and mercury poisoning, from eating tuna fish sandwiches for each breakfast for years on, and the low level of mercury the bioaccumulates in the food chain in fat, tuna fish being pretty high up there, but humans even higher, caused mad hatter like mental disability disorders. Just to fuck competing ethnicities children over into being retarded by injecting them with mandatory vaccines loaded with toxic crap should be enough grounds to sustain the "patient's right to refuse treatment" principle. Fuck the medical professionals who have become so desensitized to disease and death that they are ultimately merely focused on bringing home a paycheck and creating unnecessary increase in free market demand for their services by getting people sick intentionally, in ambiguous ways of course, but they know, they know too damn well what they are doing is wrong, and because of that fuck Obamacare forcing everyone to pay not only these medical cocksuckers, but also the insurance fine print parasite layer that feeds on everybody and fucks them over in their weakest moments in life, when they are down sick, telling them they must have not read the fine print, when patients say I read the motherfucking fine print and did not want to buy but Obama told me to go ahead anyway else I'm violating the Law of this Land, because that service is specifically excluded from the policy coverage or has strict limitations, and when the patient says, "but I tought", then they are told "but you thought", that was your interpretation of that ambiguous sentence, and we put it in there with that very specific reason, to screw you out of your money by selling you an illusion of you thought, while retaining our interpretation of the ambiguity. That's what all lawyers feed off of, intentionally planted ambiguity bombs in the English language version of jargon they use and abuse for their own personal self interest and screw the rest of the population over and in sucker!! got you again! ha ha ha.. insurance companies, legal mumbo jumbo contracts, pyramid schemes everybody is forced to participate in, market bubbles, and the money always disappears in it.. where is the money I've been paying as premiums all these years? it's gone long time ago.. you should have know better
Which is why you need cars without chips. I'm really starting to itch for gas powered bicycles to do a 50 mile commute with, for under $500 total cost and 120 mpg running cost just to give the finger to these car companies who can't come up with a car under $30,000, because they all need radios, usb, satellite tracking and a computerized engine control unit that will shut down on you if it loses satellite tracking for too long, in the name of public safety because if they can't track a car, then terrorist might use it to do bad things. What the fuck ever. My dream car is one without chips. How about a 1972 Porsche, created before intel mass produced microprocessors. Unfortunately my car has OBD-II, including remote engine shut down ability, such as losing power breaks and power steering when coming off a highway right when you make a turn, hoping to get me into an accident. It's still better than the one I had before, that acted up every time I drove across a highway overhead bridge, like it wanted to plummet onto the lanes under, but then it finally decided to not follow my steering wheel and send me spinning in the rain at highway speeds, and I did collide with the highway berm at probably 35 mph after spinning and sliding for like 100 yards, and bounced, with both airbags deployed, my driver's side window smashed by my head, but I felt nothing except my right pinky hurting, which was really weird, because I should have felt my head hurting. I guess the powers that be who split the Red Sea to let the Jews escape from the big black Egyptian cock, can also decide accident outcomes. They used to have this thing in the middle ages called trial by ordeal. But I guess eventually too many trials by ordeals do catch up with you, because you become not worth the effort to keep saving, like prophecies are not worth to be made or fulfilled anymore starting with Mohamed as the last prophet.
But I would much appreciate a car without chips, because if it has chips it's automatically untrustworthy, because it can be remote controlled, and get you killed.
Manifestos my ass. More like sticking up the finger and giving it to the Man every time he's fucking with me. Or the rest of the population. Fuck Obamacare. Fuck these corrupt cunts that encroached themselves in the government. They bring a disgrace to the name Washington, District of Columbia. Or even power mongers in Seattle, Washington. They all have these ex nobilis blood concept about themselves, like this guy http://www.fenwickhall.com/ima... , or even Biden, yet they breed themselves with the likes of Hillary, Princess Di, Kate Middleton, because they realize one of the major issues of nobility is inbreeding. Noble blood? Huh? More like genetic devastation. Nobility, and Old World Order (vetus ordo seclorum) is over with, at least in the USA, the powers that be started the New World Order (novus ordo seclorum) that you can find on the backside of Washington on the $1 bill, with the eyeball floating on top of a pyramid. The powers that be got sick and tired fed up with the other major issue of royalty and dynasties, being the issue of heirs, such as the Hapsburg Spanish war or succession, or the 30 year war devastating Germany, or the 100 year war devastating France, to which they finally put an end to by possessing Joanne D'Arc, who they did not bother saving from the flames of the clergy seeking a miracle, she has fulfilled her function, and they no longer bother with things like prophecies, their last prophet being Mohamed, because it takes too much effort and it's not worth fulfilling prophecies. But as far as kings and nobility are concerned, I'm all for genetic variety even in forms of government, but they gotta get the fuck out of the Land of Washington, the Free and the Home of the Brave, and do their nobles and kings shit in places like the United Kingdom, like Britain, or even Canada or Australia, which fall into the United Kingdom dominion. But yeah the US economy is still the biggest in the world, supposedly, until these royalty cunts that encroached themselves everywhere in places of power, like Google, or DC, or Seattle, and try to control the world and run the US economy under, so they can bring their royalty shit here too. Fuck these motherfuckers, this is the land of Timothy McVeigh, a homegrown terrorist who should be called more like a homegrown partisan guerrilla freedom fighter after the FBI attacked its own people at Waco Texas with tanks and flames over gun collecting rights. Remember when Obama got elected everyone ran to the gun stores to stack up worried that he will take away their guns. Well Fuck Obama, and fuck anyone who fucks with our guns, because it is an population armed to the teeth like in Switzerland that guarantees Liberty and National Security against an invasion, and if I vote I'm voting for anyone who protects the 2nd amendment the most that guarantees the 1st amendment rights that I'm abusing here right now, be it a Tea Party, or if they can't make it, then Republican. I used to like Hillary with her Family Leave Act of 1993, but they had to preempt her against universal healthcare with fucking Obamacare that now she has to sustain if elected, and all I got to say to that is down with the bitch. In fact down with mandatory car insurance, if they want financial responsibility on the road equally shared by everyone without insurance companies walking off with billions of megaprofit from a corrupt law, put it all in the gas tax, and have insurance adjustors doing the law required liability part from the tax funds, they can still keep their jobs, but any profit stays in the government coffers, and not walking off to offshore banks in the Bermudas of Switzerland extracted from this country over corrupt laws. Fuck these lawmakers. If they say they need to micromanage the personal responsibility of some drivers being more risky, put that into the yearly renewal fee, based on driver license points. And in that, hard points are traffic violations or at fault accidents, and
No, instead they tack on a minimum charge. As in, like Obamacare, where insurance companies feel like they don't have enough free market demand where people willingly purchase their product, they can lobby the corrupt cunts that infested our government of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave and get a fucking law passed where people are forced to buy regardless of price, or they pay a tax penalty. Fuck Obamacare. I make my purchase decisions based on price, and if an insurance company is not giving me a fucking price I like, I don't have to fucking buy. Same goes for fucking car insurance, or any fucking forced gambling policy full of small print exclusions and raping everyone in the asshole bullshit on finances right at the lowest points in their lives, when they are sick. Fuck these insurance company agents, they all need to fucking find an honest way to make a living instead of raping a dollar out of everybody by forcing bullshit policies with all kinds of exclusions and small prints down at outrageous profit prices down everyone's throat by lobbying the government to pass a motherfucking corrupt law called Obamacare. Fuck Obamacare not about you, Obamacare only about his filthy rich insurance buddies pockets to be filled. Like how is this guy helping out the average working person? Dude if I wanted to buy insurance I could have bought it before you passed this fucking corrupt law, all you accomplished with it is that prices went up when people buy anyway, so the insurance companies make even more money, and people who used to buy, now they pay even more, partly because of this corrupt law. And by the way doctors are all fucking corrupt too. My simple policy of dealing with a doctor is that I can't pay you now, but I'll try to pay you later. Then he has a strong incentive to fix me up so he can make some money on me, including not performing a bunch of unneeded procedures, because some insurance will pay for it anyway. And if a doctor is so money focused that he's not willing to deal with me like that, that's good, then that's exactly the kind of doctor I don't want touching me or coming near me. Fuck Obamacare. Fuck doctors who come on TV and tell you "you know what's worse than bombs? words. words" here motherfucker doctor claiming to be a soft tissue expert going against his Hippocratic oath of do no harm and giving throat infections to people, so that he can make more money, here, I drop these words for you like bombs because you need to fucking die and rot in hell for willfully infecting people to create more business for yourself. Or to force people into intellectual property only creating type jobs, and my reply to that is that I'll rape a new asshole to any fucking intellectual property organization or just the whole idea in general, especially those that make the most on intellectual property, yet are the most corrupt vermin that ever crawled on the surface of this planet, including all the Microsoft gang raping everyone out of their creations via their embrace extend extinguish well tuned method, and their most recent problem is lack of competitors to copy and rape via embrace extend extinguish, yet these cunts are the ones that whine most about piracy and intellectual property violations. They forget how they got started by pretty much copying CP/M of Gary Kildall who died from a blunt force trauma to the head in a biker bar, with their MSDOS 1.0. And these people wonder why creative people don't want to work for them, or why the computing field lacks the dynamic creativity of the 90's and before. It's because of these cocksuckers making it shitty for everyone who ever stepped foot in the computing business hoping to have a career and livelihood for the rest of their lives by starting their own business, just to learn it the hard way what the microsoft and rest of the gange steamrolling machine does to you, by raping you of your intellectual property, and if anyone has talent their best strategy is to lay low, off the fucking radar, cuz these cunts at Microsoft are desperate for some talent els
My car radio been dead for my past 3 cars, for the last 4 years. If you really want a radio you can bring one along in the car. Why they even have car radios. On the other hand, I start not to trust anything digital anymore. If it has a chip, it means it cannot be trusted. You use it, but it's nowhere near as reliable as analog with simple, visible components, when it comes to reliability and trustworthiness, even if analog means sucky accuracy or fidelity or quality. This includes measuring equipments, cars that have their own minds and intentionally drive you into an accident, or radio eavesdropping and gps-locating you at all times. You still have the right to plead the fifth, but those who collect data about you have the power to use it when it fits them, including not to use it when it would provide an alibi while they are framing you with false witnesses. This is my ultraparanoid side speaking again. Hello.
sometimes I wonder if the water supplies were not drained secretly, just to tap the talent of the populace to come up with ways to live better under water shortage conditions, that can be monkeyed by others.. oh, i dunno, some oil sheiks from deserts would have enough money to peddle in politics and pull some strings here and there, putting key people into key places.. but this is my ultra-paranoid side speaking again.. hello..
Yeah, but what you are forgetting is topsoil depth is pretty lacking around the world, and when trees die, decay and go back into the global carbon cycle, a portion of them is converted into usable fertile black humus rich topsoil, which is undigestable to even the top digesting lifeforms. Topsoil by far is the ultimate form of carbon sequestration, and also the source of underground coal after millions of years if it undergoes tectonic heat and molten lava silicate phase separation.
On another note, the diagram these scientists give requires two photon captures, one for generating a proton and oxygen, and a 2nd that generates acetate from proton and CO2. This may be the most efficient, hard to tell, but I expected one stage for photon capture that generates temporary chemical energy, and another stage that converts that chemical energy consuming CO2 into acetate, without requiring a 2nd photon capture. Ocean floor volcanic eruption environments have bacterial lifeforms and a whole ecosystem fueled by not the Sun, like the rest of life on planet, but the internal heat of the Earth. These creatures live in absence of sunlight completely and they are based on a sulfur based high energy low energy state chemical cycle. As a crude adaptation one might just have a concentrating solar power collector and a sample of the biosphere from such an environment with water recirculated near the "volcanic eruption hot zone" in a solar concentrator, and cooled to the other zones where these lifeforms live, and there you go, you have a solar based CO2 captturing station, but quantum efficiency would probably be low. However that sulfur cycle could be used as a starting point to create something where the solar capturing stage can be separated from the bacterial farming stage, such as bacteria living in huge underground ponds aerated with CO2 (possibly captured via ethanolaminej or something untouched by the lifeforms in a massive downdraft solar tower) and the light collection sections could take up all the real estate, moreover they could be super high temperature if needed, where reaction rates are faster possibly giving better quantum efficiencies too.
That's my 2 cents.
It's like this: I know windows is probably the most pirated software, simply because a computer won't run without it, but it's an insult to be putting a coa sticker on the computer, or inside it, or even labeling a computer "designed for windows 7 or xp." Wtf? How about I put a COA sticker on the computer for XP, then MS Office XP 2002, one for MS Office Visio because that was not bundled with anyting, then one for Age of Empires Gold or Platinum, Age of Kings, Rise of Nations, then Microsoft Streets and Trips, etc etc, then what if other software producers started this practice too, wait, there are almost no other software producers because they are either forced to give their stuff away for free, or been outcompeted, with a few exceptions like Adobe Photoshop, etc, so stickers for all that, and soon you need to attack a stamp collection album to every computer, and drag it around with you to prove that you do in fact have the right to use the computer and all the software that's on it, at least as long as the sticker does not scratch away and the computer goes to shit needing a reinstall, and then oops, you forgot to memorize your COA activation key number next to the holographic certificate that proves your right to use it, and now it's destroyed beyond readability and must go out to purchase another copy, cha chin! COA stickers are insults, but at least it's not as bad as Autocad requiring a usb dongle or LPT port dongle to run a piece of software, so there are some that get wilder. People put up with it while they have to, but in the end the proper solution to such issues is market competition, but it's like Microsoft and gang of similar software companies that include Adobe, Corel, Novell, Oracle, Apple, etc, have been so good at eating up their competition alive, and purchase, merge, embrace, duplicate, extend, extinguish them, that these days their biggest problem is lack of competition itself, they so scared away everybody from the computing field that nobody dares to dip their toes into that shark infested water and daydream about making their own fortune as a software company, because of the lessons learned from how other software entrepreneurs fared, so it's best to stay under the radar, so their biggest issues these days is lack of competition that would come up with great and novel ideas they could copy, embrace extend and extinguish, so lacking anything novel that would make people really want to upgrade, they are forced to keep selling the same thing over and over, time after time, year after year, month after month, which by definition is called a rental, starting with Windows 10. If there were healthy competition in the computing field, and these mofos weren't so successful in hogging any controlling and all important intellectual property there is in the world and exterminating anyone who dares even hope to also own some, we could all live in a better world, including their distant family members, who, in the end also suffer in the sense of not the best possible world coming about where creativity and innovation is hindered by monopolistic abuse practices. For instance, in New York prices are so high, rent and parking, that people taking their dad to a dinner in a restaurant will stand next to a traffic meter waiting for the next minute to roll over to save 3 bucks. Yeah I understand real estate is pricey under congestion, and high demand, but really? Why do you want to live like that, suffer under such artifacts of wasting your precious time in life from driving prices to insane heights. It's like the greatest problem in the USA is property hoggers who love to make easy money by hogging property, then sitting back and relaxing, and milking it for letting others get access to it, such as rent, intellectual, etc, all property, then of course driving prices and values through the starry sky, whatever the free market will bear, because it benefits them, those who own and control it if the prices are high. Yes property has a very important place in the world, but you have to stay reasonable and in balan
Yeah. Like a simple printable form, you can fill out by hand, then scan it. Done, electronic medical records done, scan it as a png image. Then they can run their OCR's and stuff, without having to waste hospital staff time, trying to enter information and knowing all the artifacts and gotchas and protocol routine of click click click click you get to that screen, scroll scroll scroll, 3/4 down you find a checkbox, tick that, go back, click, click, click, click, and you get to the point where you can enter the one sentence you wanted to. And every software supplier has their own custom ways. What a massive waste of time, high learning curve, and huuuuge cost managing those database interface gotchas. Simple way to solve the electronic record keeping requirement: have a folder cabinet and keep paper records, then scan them as a png that can be uploaded and backed up. If you want to transform that into a more searchable database, have medical transcribers at the backend who know all the doctors and patients "interpret" what was written, and convert it to text, google books or archive org or gutenberg project OCR style, but the original hand written scan, including patient signatures ARE the records (even though signatures can be faked too, but if two signatures exactly identical, you can see it's fake. those electronic pads you sign, like credit card stations at Walmart, I can never do a nice looking signature I can claim as my own or reject if confronted with - a piece of paper signature, and a scan so much better. As far as security is concerned, have a vault for the paper copies if you have to, or a federally mandated "safe" instead of filing cabinet (more like filing cabinet security standards where they are not so easy to haul away or break into), and when the computer is down, the internet is down, or your IT person is off sick and you're stuck, you can fall back to the paper copies anyone can do, and catch up later on the electronic record keeping, without being stuck unable to follow healthcare procedures with a patient, because the official record keeping electronic system is down, so the patient has to wait sick til they can fix it and obtain a consent signature officially recorded. What a fucking load of bullshit and artifact complication getting in the way, all for the sake of the computing professionals making a dollar, having lobbies the corrupt cunts up in the government.
The advantage or Active Directory is that Microsoft holds a monopoly on operating system software where they can require all customers bend over and install COA stickers on computers (which they don't require in software they hold no monopoly position in), and the customer has no option but put up with it if they want to use this marvel of technology called computers at all. But unless the Swedes can make their own chips and CPU's, little do they realize that computers bought next year will be required to install in the UEFI BIOS replacement a check for Windows, required by Microsoft or their manufacturers don't get the discounts their competitors get, and then there goes the aspirations of the Swedes to break away from the chains installed onto them by the monopolies, and use an alternative to the monopoly instead, like Linux, if they wish to use computers at all. So all hail to Active Directory or whatever piece of shit software they cook out and release into the public at Microsoft these days, because that is gonna be your only option if you want to use computers at all, they make sure of that, that's what they are best at, not creating things, but embrance, extend, extinguish alternatives, which is how they got to the point where they are, sporting the richest people that ever walked on the surface of this planet.
backed? as in backed into it? vibrator?
I beg to differ in opinion, which are like assholes. I bet they select audits based on:
- political motivation
- somebody accumulating money in their bank account, or paying off a mortgage too fast, either of which is illegal
so if you want to stay under the radar, make sure you're not keeping your belt too tight and getting ahead, instead you buy that overpriced ipod or cable subscription.. just to hang with the crowd, like ocean fish defend by swimming in schools of large numbers together, and if they hang out too much, it's easier for a predator to single them out and focus on them
You know what I call a smart sewer? An outhouse. Your shit stays put. Got a deadly genetically modified cooked up at Monsanto Labs biological warfare infection? It stays with you, instead of going to the treatment plant where it might survive and be released into the wild, contaminating natural rivers, lakes, oceans.
The IRS is a money making machine. They select audits based on income levels where the belt is kept too tight and things are out of average on statistics, unless they are playing politics with someone who misbehaves, as agents of Da Man himself.
So they are not gonna spend $2000 in agent salaries where there is a suspicion of $5 tax revenue missing. Nor are they gonna really harass people with a total income at the federal poverty level, unless there is a suspicion of a lot of under the table income. Who they go after is the big fish, big bucks, to them it's a lot better investment to spend $2000 bothering someone cheating them out of $200,000 in taxes, than spending the same on someone cheating them out of $20. It's just the way things work in the real world, and if they don't, something smells really fishy there. Like they can go after someone earning near the poverty level, for political reasons, such as being a Linux programmer, or the like. Oh btw linux programmers tend to die in mysterious accidents instead of IRS audits, that's a less conspicuous way to deal with them instead of giving them IRS audits when their income is low. Or they get framed for stuff, like Reiser. How do you trust who you marry? Especially mail order brides? They'll have children with you, then pretend being killed and go back to their home country with 2 million dollars, paid for by Da Man, and they leave their kids with you behind, as per initial agreement when they signed up for the deal. $2 million can go a long way in a lot of places in the world, including bringing whole villages and towns out of desolation, and people are willing to make kids over it and leave them behind, after all the kids won't die, they'll probably live a better life than most kids around the world. Yeah, my imagination is soooper! So back to the real world, IRS algorithms and stuff, they deal with the real world, and if you don't have a lot of money, nor make a lot of money, you're safe from them. What are they gonna find where there is no money? A lot of wasted time of their own.
I like a woman with good looks who cooks and cleans.
And btw the US is not going bankrupt from military waste, but from the cost of living waste where the government has to finance the insane costs of property, i.e. housing which is by far the most massive bill in everyone's budget, at least this stupid Obamacare King Kong arrived into everyone's budget to dwarf housing cost - insanity! Yeah I'm paying taxes to buy me some military protection against another Ghenghis Khan, not to have other people breed out of control on welfare on it, nor landlord cocksuckers pocket it all and buy golf courses and yachts on it, racking up government debt. In face of international competition of $5/day in places like Mexico, trying to sustain a 1500/mo rent in places like New York is only possible by racking up government debt. That's what's fucking wrong with the country, cost of living, and in that, cost of property. Landlords be like "but i, as an entrepreneus, invested 3 million dollars into this house so I can recoup it at 1500/mo, I can't make the mortgage payments on renting it to somebody who makes $5/day. Solution? It's simple - go on unemployment, then on welfare, and let the government pay the $1500/mo directly into the landlord's pockets, and wait while hyperinflation makes that 1500/mo equivalent to $4/day, so if you make $5/day, like in Mexico, you have $1 left over after you spend your $4/day housing cost, competing against places like China where $1/day pays for the whole show, because their housing cost and cost of living is not as insane as ours. Hyperinflation should annul the government debt too, but it would wreak havoc on the global financial market all pitted on the US dollar, at least until the China-Russia-EU bank conglomerate replaces it with something else, just to help us out and allow us to hyperinflate our currency to get rid of debt and make housing cost more sane, without dragging down the whole world with us, it's what you call smooth landing and the replacing of the US dollar with say US florins or US denars, or whatever. That's what happens when a financial system gets totally fucked, erase, replace, start over, bankruptcy, or, if you think we're gonna pick up our asses, fix everything that's wrong, and pay off the government debt by competing in the world market against people making $1 or $5 a day while we pay 1500/mo rent or mortgage in some places, commute for hours in 20K+ cars, then I ask you what are you smoking because I want some of that too. How you gonna get people off welfare and give them a job? Cuz right now, with free money falling from the sky called welfare the best interest of any ethnic group is to breed as fast as they can, starting at age 13, just to get voting majority and their way in politics, leading to even more welfare money and even more breeding out of control, without a way to earn an income fully dependent on government aid. And all Obamacare does is put even more people on government aid, working people who used to manage and try to stay within budget, now they surpass that mental roadblock saying everyone's doing it. Where is Obama gonna get the funds to pay for all that money going into his filthy rich insurance buddies' pockets? I know, more government debt! It's like even the powers that be, like insurance companies, or places like Microsoft about to charge rental fees starting with Windows 10, have given up on the idea of saving the system, they are like bees when they get smoked, start gobbling up all the honey they can before it's time to abandon the nest because a forest fire is about to destroy it. Getting the last bits out right before the whole friggin circus collapses, and starvation of the welfare dependents begins, when the welfare checks stop, and nobody is gonna dedicate their own personal time to put food on your table if they are not getting paid, everyone will worry about their own personal problems, of putting food on their own table.
Y'all forgetting that this is nothing more than some advanced cruise control. It may do object recognition, such as an accident pile up in the distance, or even a deer or bear walking across the street, however it will never be able to differentiate between a lawn ornament deer, or a live deer standing next to the road, about to enter the road, where even humans have problem. So falling asleep for the driver is out of the question. With trains it would be different, but even there often a decision has to be made in object recognition, and intents. Artificial intelligence equivalent to human intelligence is dangerous, and these visual object recognition and behavior predicting computing exercises are the critical first steps toward machine intelligence, and it's hard to see where the limiting point to machine intellect power would be set, it'd be always lets go another inch, another feature, another ability, then we limit ourselves to make sure we don't create something that takes over the world kills us all. Machine intellect and machine "life" has the power to exist in the vacuum of outer space, devour any matter, including all planets, moons and asteroids to build itself bigger or more numerous, and in that you and I have some carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium phosphate, etc. in us that it might go after as food or structural material for itself or its own kind. Ethics this ethics that, it's sad how even the smartest people that ever lived participated in wars of self interest, in fact the two World Wars have been between pretty damn smart people. So just that simple fact is no guarantee that artificial intelligence or machine intelligence will sustain genetic variety of lifeforms, you'd hope it would but it's not guaranteed, and because of that it's the greatest threat facing humanity, greater than genetic modification bioterrorism, and these two far outdo the threat of a nuclear apocalypse, which would probably be pretty easy to live through, because it would be dumb, not actively seeking your destruction in smart ways like a specifically created biological weapon whose antidote no longer functions due to a mutation and devastates all lifeforms including plants, animals, bacteria, or a machine whose reflexes, memory and computing power far outdoes reflexes of any carbon based nerves and nervous system. By far the military is the strongest driver for this kind of visual recognition projects, where an edge in capability over the competing nations could mean the difference between life and death, i.e. between winning or losing a war. Unfortunately that's the way things are. I'm not as excited about this new tech as these truck drivers wanting to catch some badly needed sleep. As long as it's advanced cruise control that lessens the load on the brain and muscles so they don't get as tired, I guess, but I would never agree to a situation where truck drivers are okay to fall asleep while the truck is moving, however with trains on a track, with a built in alarm to wake them up in case there is something in the distance 3-5 minutes from now, that would be okay, as it takes about that long for a train to stop anyway, and if there in another issue that requires a 10 second reaction time, well, with a train moving at speed it's irrelevant anyway, because trains don't stop on a dime anyway.
