its nice that drug companies each invested $100m and more drug research, got their patents, and they are now selling the drugs for reasonable prices to public and drugs are accessible anywhere in the world. not only that, but they are also making discounts and providing easy access, and even giving out drugs in most poor and needy countries so that things like aids or other dangerous diseases do not spread out.
oh wait - none of these are valid in this universe - all these are happening in alternate universes.
Now see, in 15th century printing press and the paper were the big thing - new technological stuff that made it possible for knowledge to be more easily transferred. This has resulted in the world we know today.
Today, we have graphics, sound, internet, computer. These are the big thing now.
We need to use them just as people used printing press back then - as the primary source of spreading information, and education.
There is a forced inclination to think that 'people should read books'. We have to give that up. The book concept is being conferred much more importance than the value it provides as a medium. It can easily be said that the importance conferred comes more from traditional conditioning of 'books are good' (correct at any date pre-1997) than the actual value books carry in disseminating information and education today.
Visual aids are ALWAYS better. This is why we had illustrations on any printed material during the course of history whenever it was possible. Today we have virtualization, games, sound, graphics, anything you can imagine to make the utopic futuristik education themes in sci-fi movies come true.
And we should do as such, for faster, better and less stress-inducing teaching of children.
Most fires result from things unexpected - and unexpected stuff results mostly from unforeseeable and incalculable circumstances.
standardization of all enterprise-wide operations, and setting up measures and intervention procedures for all possible outcomes within the standardized stuff would considerably reduce the number of fires coming up every given interval of time.
with enough standardization, you can use automated procedures too - scripts, crons, countermeasure software, whatever you can name and further reduce manpower load on the organisation's it dept.
as EVERY enterprise has their own different set of applications and procedures, every enterprise (who do not rely too heavily on one external vendor) needs to develop their own firefighting procedures. this is a creative work in itself - the more success in this, the more free it will get, and the cycle will feed itself with the creativity that is drawn from available time.
i understand what you mean. actually im rationale-oriented. i dont like to cite arguments or make statements right out of the box, as im a good debater.
i also understand that you cant make an informed decision on the validity of my argument since you dont know mediterranean, the parts herearound. we are used to 40 celsius extreme head in 99% humidity. but, this changing abruptly in the course of 2 years, it is not something anyone is used to.
there are people who have forgot how long their ancestors lived here. as you know anatolia has a history dating back to 8000 bc.
And everytime when the situation is exposed i get the same response 'weather does something unexpected and you are taking it serious'
You didnt read my post in detail probably.
We are mediterranean people. we know erratic weather, unusual weather and what is NOT unusual in these parts.
NO winter is not something not unusual. it IS unusual and it IS unexpected. theres no volcano eruption, no meteor hit, no nuclear plant leakage or any other sort of environmental cause nearby to do this.
first you have a mild summer, which is unseen for not only 15 years, but much longer, (here in mediterranean it gets 40 Celsius in shadow and 99% humid every summer) then you have a no winter. (which should have been raining like hell, and i dont like to say this but 'cold' as the last 15-20 winters). im saying no winter. not a mild winter or a 'warm' winter. im talking spring or even early autmn.
we are not talking about once upon a time/weather goes erratic once. there has been rains like hell in the summer where you couldnt cross the street without getting wet to your underpants in the midst of hottest day of june, there has been so warm days that even natives of these parts were able to go to the beach in the winter.
this does not need reinforcing, and its not old womens' tea talk. its affecting the whole tourism sector here.
Let me put it this way - if my microclimate changes to the extent that where i live becomes unlivable, i dont care what statistics say.
Would you ?
Would you actually be content if statistics told that climate around the world was normal in general, but where you live, your relatives, friends live would become unlivable ?
Having no winter i dont object to. however if this can happen, different things can happen too. having no summer would be an annoyance.
Haliburton & co supporting and paying Bush & co in the u.s. presidential races and then securing no bid contracts to iraqi oil fields.
sony, warner & co creating RIAA and paying senators to further their terror regime and then getting juicy laws protecting their interests in return
Is it too hard to understand that there are HORDES of scientists who are paid and maintained by big buck industry interests ?
Is it too hard to understand that these scientists, who are in fact little more than laymen, do their payers' bidding and bark at people who are trying to fix some matters ?
There are people in this world, who care for nothing but their short term profit, you know.
The micro climate here, where i live, is too different from what it used to be 10 years ago.
No need for statistics either - for 15 years the micro climate have followed an EXACT pattern here, almost TOO exact.
However for the last 4 years, we are increasingly having erratic weather to the extremes that old people are much anxious about.
this winter, there was NO winter. really. it was spring/autumn all along.with very rare rain.
just the goings here, leave aside my relatives' my colleagues' my internet friends' experiences all over the globe are enough for me to deduce there IS something wrong with the climate all around, and there are greedy bastards spewing out fud in order to conceal it.
From this point on, yes, i will look upon these fud spreaders with an evil eye - it is readily deductable that such people have hidden agendas.
As plain as that. Doesnt have a robots.txt, doesnt vaguely know what indexing is and what does it serve for the well being (and even usability) of the web, but sets up a fucking website.
apparently slashdot is now starting to be seen as a ripe platform for terrorist propaganda.
while checking and participating in the discussions, i noticed that a particular user's who is stating himself to be kurdish and talking much in compliance with marxist terrorist propaganda handbook guidelines happens to have his first post at Wednesday March 07, @08:09PM, and has no other posts in any/. topic but possibly ripe http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/03/07/14 17237 news, doing kurdish pkk terrorist organisation talk in there.
while it is kinda flattering to see slashdot being taken seriously, it is also very distressing to see actual terrorists using here.
Hahahahahahahahaha you have no idea where I live, then.
Your bio gives out u.s. and canada addresses.
i correct and reiterate man, you have NO idea how it is to to be REALLY fucked. if you had ever lived in a second-third world country, you would know. let me summarize - state gets more than %56 of your income in the end run - yet you get NOTHING. NOTHING. you buy everyting paying for them again, and, you have to pay TAX for what you buy, EVEN FROM THE GOVERNMENT.
again, you have no idea. if you would like to get more info (staggering examples actually, like finance minister passing out FOUR laws one after another to get his own company's tax debts nullified and recently, a decision by finance ministry said that for INSURED (by state health insurance) people CANCER treatment fees wouldnt be paid, and then only overruled by high court)
It does make a difference. Sure, all politicians are scum no matter where you live. But I still believe that a politician from my side of the tracks -- whether it's geographically, historically, culturally, politically, intellectually, etc. -- is better for me than one that isn't. That person will be somewhat more accessible to me. There will be somewhat less layers of government between him and me. There will be smaller agencies with closer ties to the community. Decisions will be made closer to me and thereby within a perspective closer to mine. No, it's not perfect, and no, it doesn't make all problems of government go away. It is, IMO, an improvement.
a politican from your side of the tracks will have the advantage of being a poltician from your side of the tracks. he has an advantage, and he will be more relaxed and easy going as s/he is a native of the country. a politican who is a foreigner though, needs to take more care in order not to incite the population. what you say, native politician is often a disadvantage, not advantage. as said, governments (aka politicians) should be afraid of their people, not vice versa. if you decrease the factors that makes a politician frightened of people, like having him native, you actually better their position
You keep treating self-determination as a one-time deal, such that you can only get it once, and then you're stuck. I don't. The individual, the family, the community, and the society are not rigid institutions, and should be free to choose its allegiances as many times as it feels it needs to.
so you are actually suggesting that, we should go back from self-determination ? and how this even blends into the discussion ? whether kurds, texas mexicans are part of respectively turkey and usa, or they are independent they will have self determination. STILL they have representatives in the assembly in either case. its ARISTOCRACY versus DEMOCRACY that self determination exists or not.
No matter how you slice it, the London-based government would have only become less and less suited to rule and more and more out of touch with American development. Even Canada has been in nearly all respects spun off from the mother government, except in ceremony. In the U.S. today, these hundred-year-old states have grown in population to the point where the centers of government are out of touch with all but their core urban centers, and sentiments can be seen across the county for new self-determining states to be carved out of them. And likewise at the county level. And so on.
what you say happened to be so because the mother states increasingly wanted to drop the participating states off their backs - taking them as liabilities financially, politically and military-wise. same goes for federal u.s. government. rather than provide and supply for all states, federal government increasingly wants to dump stuff on states, while retaining the control still. as both stuff cant happen at the same time, sentiment against federalism gets on the rise.
Im no nationalist, but when fud is spat around i get the goosebumps - same as when i see u.s. department of defense spreading shit around what they do in torture prisons.
I will c/p how the 'represed' kurds are living even better than any ordinary turkish citizen in turkey here, so that nobody reading the post of terrorist in the parent comment (all reading of which very closely resemble Marxist PKK propaganda handbooks containing the 'how-to's of effective propaganda) will become fooled :
From another comment posted to someone suggesting the so called 'repression' of kurds - see how kurds live better than ordinary turkish citizens in turkey :
As for the minority that is 'suffering' in southeastern turkey, the kurds, he is 'fighting for', a few facts here, so you can decide if there is anything to rebel about :
- 80% of the electricity used in that region is illegal - they directly steal electricity from the national network, and do not pay. We, people living in western parts pay for kurd's electric bills.
- In the last 20 years, a great deal of the national budget has been spent in infrastructure investments in southeastern anatolia, in kurd populated zone, for them to be able to better do agriculture and related activities. Now they are making heaploads of money, but all the money is taken by their clan leaders in accordance with their long standing clan structure and individuals do not get anything major. they are fine with it, dont object.
- A good deal of them migrate to western parts of turkey and major cities. the number of rapes, muggings, robberies, and other mafia-related activities have gone to such an extent that national police is unable to deal with them all, and a nation wide outcry is going on for a few years now. They move in and rent a shop in a neighborhood, then gradually force out ALL other people out of their businesses and rent all shops to their kurdish relatives. There has come up a common saying that "if you let a kurd in to a neighborhood, after 10 years all of the neighborhood becomes kurd".
Despite all these likewise happenings, they go and cry to the european civil rights people saying that 'they are being suppressed' in turkey. ill tell you who is actually being suppressed, people like me, who are civil, normal people, who cant take a leisurely stroll about antalya, which is the most important touristic destination in turkey, comparable to cannes, barcelona, balear islands, without the fear of being mugged by one kurd, and that kurd being let out from jail in just a day's time, because of utterly ridiculous punitive laws that were passed by the pressure of european union, because the current laws were not 'civil' enough. instead these laws are serving muggers', robbers', mafias' interests in turkey - rob someone, youre out in just 2 days. there are people who consecutively committed 18 and more, some fatal robberies, felonies and etc, and still walking openly around - because of the overly 'civil' laws imposed by eu.
Excuse me, but no humanist ideal, no french revolutionary approach, no civility concept can justify letting out of killers, muggers, rapists and the like in a few days. And unfortunately kurds are the ones who are most benefiting from these laws. Their mafia is most harmful.
And yet we have ocalan, and his 'rebellion' to 'save' kurds from 'oppression'.
I have paid $150 for monthly electric bill, which roughly translates into a $600-$700 bill in united states terms, DESPITE not using any noticeable electricity. You know why ? Someone needs to pay the stolen electricity in kurdish regions so that national electric company can come up in the green.
And from another follow-up post about the subject:
as for the 'let them go in their own state and get rid of them' - this does not apply.
clans order kurds to multiply. there are 20 children PER PARENT on average in southeastern anatolia !!! and the
I cant actually stay away from internet, even if on vacation. I need to be WITH people. In addition to colleagues, clients, community people, there are 'internet' and real life friends who have histories ranging from a few years to 4-5 years or more in my instant messenger lists.
Working a fraction of a day is just an addition to internet connectivity time.
It might happen only ONCE in 5 years, but when it happens, the image of your corporation/service totally goes to bust.
I reckon they did not count in costs such as these to calculation of 'ownership'. Its not about just 'owning' something - its about being able to make full use of it WITHOUT it trashing your business.
No, I don't see it. Better to be ruled by your own corrupt leaders than disenfranchised under someone else's corrupt leaders.
It is apparent that you have NO idea what it is like to be ruled by your own corrupt leaders.
It doesnt matter who fucks the citizenry, when they are being fucked. Believe me, all dicks are the same. Being a turkish citizen, i can tell you that from experience. It totally does NO difference if someone fucking the public is this or that nationality - those kind of people have their OWN unseen nationality.
The principle of self-determination is universal, reflexive, and recursive, too. If Western Kurds in a future Kurdistan state decide they are being underserved by the Eastern Kurdistan based government, then they should be entitled to a Western Kurdistan state, home rule district, devolved federal powers, whatever. Etc.
SELF does not exist when you are being exploited and ruled by minorities even in your own nationality. The SELF that is doing the determination, is not the many selves of the 'nation' but a small minority elite little different from having royalty.
You are taking all government forms throughout history as being equal. It is something too different u.s. rebelling to royal british rule from some texans wanting independence from britain, or kurds wanting independence from turkey.
U.s. citizens at that time have NO representative power proportional to their population count in ruling of their country. Whereas texans now have this, have equal rights as any other member of their country. so are the kurds here. so there is no reason in independence. had british parliament have allotted representatives to colonies, u.s. might have never happened.
well, actually there is a major loophole in your approach.
the right to self determination almost at all times are exploited by sources/personas within the needy crowd in order not for self-determination's sake, but for furthering the sources/personas' agendas.
in turkey's case, kurdish population have little to do with the 'freedom movement'. who actually are barking for 'freedom' is the supposedly democratically elected parties' spokespersons and pkk representatives.
the catch here is that, these parties are funded by clan leaders of kurds, which, DESPITE currently being subject to turkish laws which are fashioned (in fact almost directly taken) after swiss laws, still are RULING the entire kurdish population with thousands of years of old clan traditions - with an iron fist.
what would result from an independence, wherever it happens to be - in turkey or n. iraq, the result will be kurdish people living under some 'president' that is actually a clan leader who will be in league with other clan leaders, with a fake assembly (which will happen to be clan dignitaries, nothing representative of the public, as it is currently so in so called kurdish political parties in tureky), just like saudi arabia or syria.
the other route is much more harsh - pkk is just something that seeks to install a marxist dictatorship under abdullah ocalan, who is confirmed to maintain a small harem from female pkk members in his camps earlier in syria. it would just be another saddam in a marxist setting if pkk ever got its way.
and with the case of mexicans wanting independence in texas, it would actually be current mexican elite (mexica is the country with the worst values in income distribution, with little minority elite having the enormous income percentage) wanting to get a grab at the oil fields in texas.
Its a matter of listening to one's bodily instincts. You gotta comply with its demands rather than trying to make it comply with yours.
how that would be ? if your body is not happy to sit for long hours and THEN eat considerably, it will give the itches to do something - jump around, run around, do something physical and so on. conscious modern mind too easily can suppress and twist this urge with conditioning - ie "i gotta work" ( and at times it might be that way too ). after some time this reflex becomes rather automatic, any urge by the body might be preemptively suppressed, which would reflect as 'boredom' or 'stress' or at times 'some awkward bodily heat'.
one needs to be sensitive to natural urges and demands of the body.
As for glucose - note that going directly into blood stream does not change the calorie contained within in any given type of food - glucose has a certain amount of calorie per gram, starch has such and such, fat has such and such.
You are probably meaning to say, as there is very little effort spent in digesting glucose, most of the energy taken remains. Which, intuitively implies that as you spend more energy digesting fat or protein, you kinda take less energy in the end - which is wrong. First of all, starch is polymer of carbohydrates, which has multiples of glucose contained therein.
apparently i was wrong about protein energy level. still, i guess the same source you used to cite energy levels through finding it from google advises only 10-20% protein intake. http://www.nutristrategy.com/nutritioninfo2.htm
still, you have reiterated what i said about burning calories in matter of burning the protein based materials last ? hence, whatever protein you take, it will go directly into building body stuff - to loose muscles if you are not working ? to the ass, to be precise ?
No, no, no! Exercise causes micro-damage to muscle fibres, and your body uses protein you eat to repair and improve the muscle fibres. This makes you stronger. It's never a good thing when your body tears down the muscle fibres to try to keep you alive.
whats different here from what i said ?
well in the end, i should propose my policy to stay fit, that works for me, of course, i dont know if it can work for anyone else or not, for sure :
i sit in front of the pc around 10 continous hours a day. rest 4 hours, i sit intermittently. the rest, i sleep or in front of tv. i go outside for a few hours to fool around in outings 2-3 times a week. i dont do exercise or anything. yet, im 1.83 meters of height, and around 76-80 kilogrammes of weight. Im a vegetarian. not only that, but i like starchy things like macaroni, pasta, bread (white) and cheese and such very much, and eat them. i never pay too much attention to how much i eat, but i eat according to my body's exact feelings at that time - which, generally happens to be 1.5 or 2 multiples of my 'fist' size generally. at times i dont feel like it, and eat less. its all left to the body to decide.
i dont smoke, i dont drink alcohol. i never smoked, i never drank alcohol. i sleep around 7-8+ hours a day. yet im still in the body/weight proportionality i described. its all a matter of metabolism i think.

so what are we gonna do then
and thats it.
It was pci before, then they went to agp, then agp X, 2x, 4, 16x.
and voila - its pci express now. curious that they were not able to invent the 'express' part a few years back.

Now they are making heaploads of money, but all the money is taken by their clan leaders in accordance with their long standing clan structure and individuals do not get anything major. they are fine with it, dont object.
- A good deal of them migrate to western parts of turkey and major cities. the number of rapes, muggings, robberies, and other mafia-related activities have gone to such an extent that national police is unable to deal with them all, and a nation wide outcry is going on for a few years now. They move in and rent a shop in a neighborhood, then gradually force out ALL other people out of their businesses and rent all shops to their kurdish relatives. There has come up a common saying that "if you let a kurd in to a neighborhood, after 10 years all of the neighborhood becomes kurd".
Despite all these likewise happenings, they go and cry to the european civil rights people saying that 'they are being suppressed' in turkey. ill tell you who is actually being suppressed, people like me, who are civil, normal people, who cant take a leisurely stroll about antalya, which is the most important touristic destination in turkey, comparable to cannes, barcelona, balear islands, without the fear of being mugged by one kurd, and that kurd being let out from jail in just a day's time, because of utterly ridiculous punitive laws that were passed by the pressure of european union, because the current laws were not 'civil' enough. instead these laws are serving muggers', robbers', mafias' interests in turkey - rob someone, youre out in just 2 days. there are people who consecutively committed 18 and more, some fatal robberies, felonies and etc, and still walking openly around - because of the overly 'civil' laws imposed by eu.
Excuse me, but no humanist ideal, no french revolutionary approach, no civility concept can justify letting out of killers, muggers, rapists and the like in a few days. And unfortunately kurds are the ones who are most benefiting from these laws. Their mafia is most harmful.
And yet we have ocalan, and his 'rebellion' to 'save' kurds from 'oppression'.
I have paid $150 for monthly electric bill, which roughly translates into a $600-$700 bill in united states terms, DESPITE not using any noticeable electricity. You know why ? Someone needs to pay the stolen electricity in kurdish regions so that national electric company can come up in the green.
And from another follow-up post about the subject :
as for the 'let them go in their own state and get rid of them' - this does not apply.
clans order kurds to multiply. there are 20 children PER PARENT on average in southeastern anatolia !!! and the
I cant actually stay away from internet, even if on vacation. I need to be WITH people. In addition to colleagues, clients, community people, there are 'internet' and real life friends who have histories ranging from a few years to 4-5 years or more in my instant messenger lists.
Working a fraction of a day is just an addition to internet connectivity time.
the company who treats customers and competitors alike - like shit.

It might happen only ONCE in 5 years, but when it happens, the image of your corporation/service totally goes to bust.
I reckon they did not count in costs such as these to calculation of 'ownership'. Its not about just 'owning' something - its about being able to make full use of it WITHOUT it trashing your business.
It is apparent that you have NO idea what it is like to be ruled by your own corrupt leaders.
It doesnt matter who fucks the citizenry, when they are being fucked. Believe me, all dicks are the same. Being a turkish citizen, i can tell you that from experience. It totally does NO difference if someone fucking the public is this or that nationality - those kind of people have their OWN unseen nationality.
The principle of self-determination is universal, reflexive, and recursive, too. If Western Kurds in a future Kurdistan state decide they are being underserved by the Eastern Kurdistan based government, then they should be entitled to a Western Kurdistan state, home rule district, devolved federal powers, whatever. Etc.
SELF does not exist when you are being exploited and ruled by minorities even in your own nationality. The SELF that is doing the determination, is not the many selves of the 'nation' but a small minority elite little different from having royalty.
You are taking all government forms throughout history as being equal. It is something too different u.s. rebelling to royal british rule from some texans wanting independence from britain, or kurds wanting independence from turkey.
U.s. citizens at that time have NO representative power proportional to their population count in ruling of their country. Whereas texans now have this, have equal rights as any other member of their country. so are the kurds here. so there is no reason in independence. had british parliament have allotted representatives to colonies, u.s. might have never happened.
Let google just remove all viacom stuff. We will move on to watch viacom competitors' stuff.
well, actually there is a major loophole in your approach.
the right to self determination almost at all times are exploited by sources/personas within the needy crowd in order not for self-determination's sake, but for furthering the sources/personas' agendas.
in turkey's case, kurdish population have little to do with the 'freedom movement'. who actually are barking for 'freedom' is the supposedly democratically elected parties' spokespersons and pkk representatives.
the catch here is that, these parties are funded by clan leaders of kurds, which, DESPITE currently being subject to turkish laws which are fashioned (in fact almost directly taken) after swiss laws, still are RULING the entire kurdish population with thousands of years of old clan traditions - with an iron fist.
what would result from an independence, wherever it happens to be - in turkey or n. iraq, the result will be kurdish people living under some 'president' that is actually a clan leader who will be in league with other clan leaders, with a fake assembly (which will happen to be clan dignitaries, nothing representative of the public, as it is currently so in so called kurdish political parties in tureky), just like saudi arabia or syria.
the other route is much more harsh - pkk is just something that seeks to install a marxist dictatorship under abdullah ocalan, who is confirmed to maintain a small harem from female pkk members in his camps earlier in syria. it would just be another saddam in a marxist setting if pkk ever got its way.
and with the case of mexicans wanting independence in texas, it would actually be current mexican elite (mexica is the country with the worst values in income distribution, with little minority elite having the enormous income percentage) wanting to get a grab at the oil fields in texas.
same goes for many 'independence' requests.
Its a matter of listening to one's bodily instincts. You gotta comply with its demands rather than trying to make it comply with yours.
how that would be ? if your body is not happy to sit for long hours and THEN eat considerably, it will give the itches to do something - jump around, run around, do something physical and so on. conscious modern mind too easily can suppress and twist this urge with conditioning - ie "i gotta work" ( and at times it might be that way too ). after some time this reflex becomes rather automatic, any urge by the body might be preemptively suppressed, which would reflect as 'boredom' or 'stress' or at times 'some awkward bodily heat'.
one needs to be sensitive to natural urges and demands of the body.
You are probably meaning to say, as there is very little effort spent in digesting glucose, most of the energy taken remains. Which, intuitively implies that as you spend more energy digesting fat or protein, you kinda take less energy in the end - which is wrong. First of all, starch is polymer of carbohydrates, which has multiples of glucose contained therein.
apparently i was wrong about protein energy level. still, i guess the same source you used to cite energy levels through finding it from google advises only 10-20% protein intake. http://www.nutristrategy.com/nutritioninfo2.htm
still, you have reiterated what i said about burning calories in matter of burning the protein based materials last ? hence, whatever protein you take, it will go directly into building body stuff - to loose muscles if you are not working ? to the ass, to be precise ?
No, no, no! Exercise causes micro-damage to muscle fibres, and your body uses protein you eat to repair and improve the muscle fibres. This makes you stronger. It's never a good thing when your body tears down the muscle fibres to try to keep you alive.
whats different here from what i said ?
well in the end, i should propose my policy to stay fit, that works for me, of course, i dont know if it can work for anyone else or not, for sure :
i sit in front of the pc around 10 continous hours a day. rest 4 hours, i sit intermittently. the rest, i sleep or in front of tv. i go outside for a few hours to fool around in outings 2-3 times a week. i dont do exercise or anything. yet, im 1.83 meters of height, and around 76-80 kilogrammes of weight. Im a vegetarian. not only that, but i like starchy things like macaroni, pasta, bread (white) and cheese and such very much, and eat them. i never pay too much attention to how much i eat, but i eat according to my body's exact feelings at that time - which, generally happens to be 1.5 or 2 multiples of my 'fist' size generally. at times i dont feel like it, and eat less. its all left to the body to decide.
i dont smoke, i dont drink alcohol. i never smoked, i never drank alcohol. i sleep around 7-8+ hours a day. yet im still in the body/weight proportionality i described. its all a matter of metabolism i think.
