"Dance with me, mom! Dance the dance of life!"...fumble, trip, crash...
So is this mean, I can finally talk back to my mom with same tone?
mom:...sigh... the things I did for you, giving you birth through excruciating labour for hours... son:...sigh... the things I did for you, leaving my fetal cell behind to help you heal...
Didn't someone say the same thing about Teflon coating? Only difference here is oxidation process through UV light. That's hardly "self-cleaning." More like watching paint dry... at least, according to the rate of my visit to the toilet that is...
I think, you are just throwing words around without knowing its meaning or fully examining what you are saying.
Everything is not energy. Your definition "physical expression of living energy" is just the proof that you are just contradicting yourself. If energy is "alive," there would be no need or way to express itself physically.
For "energy" is to live its existence as a life, expression can only be mere description of result that its metaphysical transition take place where it can never be created nor destroyed.
But in real world, "Life" begins, be maintained, and ends. That is just hard cold fact, not illusion or pigment of my imagination. Physical and elemental makeup of living entity is a metaphysical form of expression, I do agree, but it's not a physical expression of "living" energy. Energy transformation is the only kind of expression there is. "Physical" part, in your definition, "energy" must create, and in real world, there is no evidence or observable universe leads anyone to believe that "energy" creates anything and/or there is "dead energy."
"Stones carry an awareness" That's a mouth full. For a stone to have an awareness, "it" first must know what "it" is. To "know" what "it" is, it also must have an ability to reflect itself and others' existence in comparison. Stones carries properties, not awareness. I study science, not Scientology... you must understand. You can call it "programming" or whatever.
"Mother Earth" is simply a respectful term for the collective being of which we are all a part. Mother Earth is not a being. Many people have different interpretation of what "Mother Earth" is, therefore I respectfully stated "I think," and not "I know." For anyone to say "Mother Earth" is a being, is artistic, philosophical, not scientific. I am not an artist nor philosopher, but I do know science. And I can't ration without it. In your view, perhaps, that is where you see me with faults.
"This is a place with no roads or trails and never, so far as we know, visited by man... This proves there are still places to be discovered that man has not touched."
Lets keep it that way. "Do Not Feed The Animal" sign is kinda getting old right now.
hmm... killing off the entire aquatic animal population due to carbon dioxide poisoning... hence reducing carbon dioxide byproducts from those living animals...! It's so crazy,... it just might.. work! *Brilliant*!
"how do you know which groups of energy are 'alive' and which are not?" umm.. I'm not a scientist or philosopher, but I'm pretty sure "energy" is not "alive" regardless of its shape or form.
"How do you define 'alive'?" Something with DNA would be a good start... but I'm not a biologist.
"How do you define 'Sentient'? Something with DNA and self-awareness, preferably with neurological central nervous system or something like it... again, I'm not a biologist.
I think, "Mother Earth" is an expression and not to be taken as literal, but then again, I'm not a pagan...
"I'm a recent grad with no loans or credit cards to pay" Are you sure you are a recent grad? Last time I was in college, 2 main daunting things after graduation was paying off the loan and paying off the another loan (aka credit card).
"so I have a low cost of living aside from a girlfriend." OK, there is your problem. Get rid of the girlfriend and join the nerdom as we unit in celibacy. Then we can talk about that fun and exciting low paying job.
If "BIG IF" a housing/large apartment/buildings are required to install sabatier conversion unit and solar power unit? The energy input (+400C and some pressure) with CO2 and 4H2 intake (even at low efficiency), output would be methane, a source of energy which can heat up the house/building and excess production can feed into molten-carbonate fuel cell plants through existing gas pipe.
When the methane is collected and used where molten-carbonate fuel cells are used to further absorb CO2 and use methane as anode gas, it can be used to produce electricity at ~80% efficiency (at the most). Then the circle of life breaks for CO2 with energy conversion gain with less CO2 output as byproduct.
Of course, there are problems with MCFC due to high temperature, but this can be easily overcome. I mean, it can't be harder than overcoming FUSION's crazy amount of heat.
Yeah... but I know... I could be talking about of my ass.
"If you've got nothing to hide, you won't object. The cameras will make sure you aren't a pedophile with kidnapped children hidden in your house."
If you ARE a convicted pedophile and child molester, you have to register to local police and have them tag you at all time.
Personally I rather have these offenders and repeated criminals being tagged at all time (during and after parole), not to the extend where monitoring through cameras are necessary as you implied, but as public safty and preventive measure, it's practical and equally just for both ex-con and employee/gov./community.
After all, if someone buttfucked your little kid, would you rather tag your kid or let police keep tag on the criminal?
"An employee has to consent to having their mobile tracked. A company can't request to track a phone without the user knowing,"
WTF? So if I DON'T consent, of course, on my annual employee's review, I won't be marked down with "TEAM PLAYER: -1" Riiiight....
"Some businesses want to keep an eye on their staff. Some feel they have an obligation to know where staff are in case of emergencies,... There is increasing awareness about the importance of knowing where your staff are in case of incidents like the July London bombings."
Huh? It's nice to know employers care about well being of emplyees, but seriously, what business of employer to track employees when something like "train bombing" occurs instead that of police? If that is the case, then health benifit and life insurance shouldn't be optional, but mandatory at work. Other wise, what does that really say? "We really care about your safty, but not really so much that we have to pay for your medicals."
"Knowing where your nearest employee is to a customer is also important. It allows a company to improve efficiency."
What? Any profession which requires (in my opinion) radio contact at all time may be useful in this case (such as EMT, police, fire fighters, cab drivers, doctors, field techicians, etc), but to improve efficiency on already shrunk-to-death workforce such as IT and sales (with high turnover)? Exactly how will that improve efficiency?
Jim the employer: Tom, I know you are by 3rd St. Get over to 5th and 7th, the nearest customer site ASAP. Tom the employee: Jim, if you know where I am, you should know that I'm on a break and taking shit in a restroom.
IMHO, Photoshop is made for and by graphic designer while GIMP is made for and by programmer.
Besides, if GIMP project had half of financial backing as Adobe Photoshop, it could be different picture. I think, it's helpful to take this as a constructive criticism and not as spreading salt on bleeding wound.

To prevent fraudulent use of the CertifiedEmail service, all applicants must meet the highest standards for mailing practices. Goodmail's comprehensive accreditation process confirms a sender's identity and sending domains, ensures that a sender's email programs conform to Goodmail's acceptable use policies as well as compliance with anti-spam legislation. Privileges to use the service are established in accordance with a sender's reputation. Accreditation Criteria
In order to meet the strict qualifying criteria, an organization must, among other things:
* have at least 1 year of business history, as verified by a commercial identity verification service
* have business headquarters located in the United States or Canada
* transmit messages from dedicated IP addresses, even if sending email through an email service provider (ESP), and must have at least a 6 month mailing history from that IP
* have a sending history which indicates that the complaint rates associated with their IP addresses are among the lowest of senders transmitting to Goodmail's ISP partners
* be able to comply with Goodmail's Acceptable Use and Security Policy and agree to the Token Purchase Agreement
If you are interested in participating in the CertifiedEmail Charter Program, you must apply for and successfully complete Goodmail's accreditation process. Initially, the Charter Program's enrollment will be restricted to a limited group. It is possible to pass accreditation but be ineligible for the limited charter program. In that case, an organization's accreditation application will be considered when the system is open to broader commercial availability. The Charter Program will be limited to brands that are well regarded by most consumers or small businesses.
The accreditation application processing fee is regularly $399.00. A special charter price of $199.00 will apply to all applications submitted by July 31, 2006. This fee is non-refundable. Please review the accreditation criteria above before beginning your application.
Why not enforce usage of SSL Cert for email??? Can it be true that AOL is just that stupid? So AOL actually think that spammers can be detered by using Goodmail? So now, AOL users can only recieved spams from ESP legitimate network spambots and "trusted" network. Soon, AOL users will only be able to send and recieve emails among themselves. AOL will need to change their name to "Among Only Losers"...
If anyone doesn't see this as a "tactic," either he/she is blinded by too much press release from RIM or public opinion. Why is not RIM's, but NTP's patents being reviewed? Where is fair comparison by USPTO?
Should Canadian patent office review RIM's patents? I highly doubt that will ever happen. Who's looking out for US companies from being sued by foreign companies with shady patents being filed in foreign soil? How about comparing the patent infringement lawsuits filed by NTP and RIM? How many lawsuits did RIM file against US companies? How many lawsuits did NTP file against ANY companies?
So who are we to say, you can't file a lawsuit while other companies like RIM with market power can? Isn't it easier for RIM to wipe out smaller competitions with multimillion dollar legal war chest and political lobbyists? So if I patented something, but with limited investment and just enough money to make few prototypes, am I not an individual with IP (intellectual property) who's willing to find bigger companies to license and/or buy out my patent? Companies like Microsoft and RIM, decides to grossly ignore my patent, copys it, implements it, and profits from it, I suddenly become someone who files "frivolous" lawsuit and stifle innovation?
Only way this can be fair, Canadian Patent Office should review all RIM's filed patents and give non-final rejection as well. If NTP's patents are so shady and obvious, what is so NOT obvious and shady about RIM's patents? What innovation did RIM stifle with its QWERTY keyboard lawsuits? How can RIM think that it can get away with infringing Eatoni Ergonomics Inc. patents? http://www.computerworld.com/hardwaretopics/hardwa re/story/0,10801,104664,00.html Is Eatoni Ergonomics also like NTP, a patent troll filing "frivolous" lawsuit and stifle innovation?
RIM stifles innovation by stealing and dening rightful claims of other's hard work and research. RIM is the true patent troll here. Lets get that straight.
Considering pigeons' poop carries over 60 diseases, and not to mention toxicity. It's like letting Exxon to oversee EPA. Was a rat on the list of animals to monitor pollution as well?
Being a "Law and Order" addict, I question, doesn't investigators time to time search and request stuff by just sound of "warrent" to information holder threating to shutdown the place? But then again, I might be just circling around the edge of reality and fantasy.

Yeah, so far, I can ping myself all day... I'm just getting myself ready... any day now... really... c'mon... do it. do it.
People watching Ophra crying foul for buying into reading or publishing company making money off people's readings suggested by Ophra...
Am I hearing this right? Publishers requiring non-fiction authors to produce some reference and accurate account of events noted with date find so freaking costly and hard to put in a 20 bucks paper back of some crap shooter's shady life story?
Oh wait, I forgot. Those are the same kind of publishers which prints out biology and history books in our school. Yeah.. whatever makes money.
