  1. Re:Fork. ( I wrote this, this morning.) on Linux As a Model For a New Government? · · Score: 1

    http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=ddmhxhmm_0fn4jjmfc Are you tired of it yet? Are you tired of it yet, yes that is the question. But are you really... No, I am not tired enough of it yet. I am not ready to do what it takes to take control of my life. The things that are most important to me. Such as my family, my friends, my pets, my life. I am simply doing what I hope is the best that I can to get by. That is an excellent example of exactly how many people feel right now. Or you might of answered, I am a true patriot. The definition of a patriot being (lets consult [Princeton] S: (n) patriot, nationalist (one who loves and defends his or her country). The thing in my mind, would all but have to be about the most important thing for me. Because let's face it, the most important thing to me is me. Without me there is nothing.. at least to me. I am my most valuable possession. Because if I have any possessions whatsoever, you want to protect them. The only way to be sure in anyone's mind is if they are there to protect the objects they "possess." I either do or do not possess a family (one at least I can be taxed on) or have to many other items, but one thing is for sure as long as I own and on a mission to possess a selfless desire but to acquire what I only need and required think of how I could really, truly impact my world. I am but a man in my country. We love, represent, and back football teams, families and organizations on close to a daily basis. The one thing that most represents me, in the world is my country. I must take it seriously. Not doing so does unequivocally include guaranteed annihilation. End of story. This is not meant to be propaganda, although admittedly falls under such definitions. The fact of the matter is my fellow Americans that if enough of us do not immediately decide to make some different correct decisions it appears soon we will not be in possession of our country, if we call it that now. Without my country, I am a changed man. Borders move all time, but never with any consistent peace. The ultimate preservation is therefore my country. Without which I am changed forever. I would be willing to take a bullet, if it meant that 9-11 woulnd't have happend. I may not be politician, or have any answers, but there are those that do. I am likely not of quite enough peace of mind and ineptitude to find the best choice, but I recognize that and to continue the logic, willing to seek the answers from those that do. I may happen to know a few people that are smart enough to recognize their preservation priority, and I am going to nominate them to themselves. In order to perform a more perfect union. Who is responsible for this country if not but us, we the people. You, me and everybody. You may have to make some tough decisions, whether it be lifestyle changes, or getting up off our pity stones we have strapped to our feet. I am a prime example, one with his first heart surgery at two, his second at 7 and his spinal fusion surgery at 11. I have seen some "negative circles" of people and I have seen and been lucky to be the beneficiary of some of the countries best and hardest working. If you consider yourself close to a hard worker, you owe it to yourself to standout and decide today right here and right now that you want to see and participate in some serious discussions.

  2. Pure Brain Power? on "Wisdom of Crowds" Works For Individuals Too · · Score: 1

    I was thinking about a jellybean in the jar scenario just the other day, as we had someone guess correctly for a prize at work. Examples of fast calculation by certain autistics (think toothpicks in the movie Rainman) suggests to me that the mind counts and analyses all sorts of information, and with certain individuals is able to be called more easily. What does the mind do behind the curtain? Can these feats be learned and a person be trained to do these things? I'd like to think so. Of course, this study could just be evidence that humans are capable of abstract calculation and rounding. I am not a statistician (ianas?), but wouldn't you expect that several guesses would average out this way? Humans have carried berries in baskets for millennia sure, but aside from an "evolutionary" trait, I would think humans have ample brain power to make very educated guesses quite easily.

  3. Re:Obligatory on Verizon Wireless To Buy Alltel For $28B · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My girlfriend is with T-Mobile. I ditched Verizon, T-Mobile and Sprint over the years. Last time I wanted to get Nextel, but Sprint bought them out. This time I wanted to get Alltel, and she was going to come with me, but Verizon has bought them out. I guess I didn't need a cell phone as badly as I thought. Well, time to find another reason to spend some of my "tax refund" check since we planned on buying our own phones in case Alltel ever did something really stupid. At least I saved the cost of buying the phones.

  4. Re:AppleTV on Data Center In a Shoe Box · · Score: 1

    Hmm.. I wonder what is the recommended decent specs are for a Counter Strike Source server.. and what kind of bandwidth a popular server would pull a month. Could it be possibly cheaper to rent a dedicated box and run the servers yourself? Or would you have to have several servers to make it worthwhile?

  5. Re:New? on Smithsonian Gets Military UAVs · · Score: 1

    I was there also a month ago and would have to agree with Styopa that it was unimpressive. I was excited when I first noticed them, but upon inspection of the exhibit it was not anything special. Hanging 18-40 feet over your head isn't much better than pictures. They were a little bigger than I imagined, so I guess I got something out of it.

  6. Re:A quick search reveals on Linux Gains Native RTOS Emulation Layer · · Score: 1

    So you are saying that the linuxdevices.com website is compromised?

  7. Multiple vortexes? on Recipe for Making Symetrical Holes in Water · · Score: 1

    Could the tri-star shape possibly in atmospheric conditions divide and therefore help explain multiple tornadoes spawning off from each other?
