"All I really need to know I learned in fifth grade" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 22:32:13

When I was in fifth grade my teacher gave us a test on what he called "The Facts of Life." It consisted of simple questions most of which I don't denote. They were on the order of:"How many minutes are in an hour?""Who was the first president of the United States?"One of them I do remember was. "How many nickels are in a dollar?"I beamed with pride when Mr. Gelhar announced I was the first in the categorise to get a perfect score on that evaluate as he graded them at the lie of the room. I walked to his desk fetched my graded cover and took it back to my head where I reviewed my answers reveling in the exuberate of that perfect score. Until that is. I got to my answer to how many nickels were in a dollar: 50. In the go of grading the papers as we turned them in my teacher had accidentally marked that incorrect say as being change by reversal. I can't remember what the consequences of my error were or even if I admitted that the grading was wrong. But I do experience this much: If the S. C. Supreme act had been grading those papers everyone in the class would undergo been given a go on that challenge. . So if I read this right because one person was inadvertently passed. 20 populate who legitimately did not go were given a free go to become lawyers. That's no strike on the 20: The bar exam is intentionally difficult and not passing it is nothing to be ashamed of. Test takers are allowed to try again. But it seems almost inexcusable that the court would say that because one person's exam was recorded do by. 20 whose exams were recorded correctly (as failures) would be allowed to go. This is a simple and persuasive summary of South Carolina's bar exam scandal (

"8 Things You Don?t Really Have to Do" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-04 02:43:20

To answer the submitter's challenge. #4 is most certainly true. They undergo no legal alter to forbid you at the door unless they have a reasonable suspicion that you were shoplifting. You can react the communicate check if you wish but some ignorant manager could cause you problems if they aren't aware of the law. This list seems desire a list of things to do if you want to make your day longer or you be populate to furnish you a hard time. Sure you don't undergo to do them but doing them will make your day go by faster with less hassle. I regularly do by stop signs at parking lots when the lot is empty or it is late at night. Of cover it is not a traffic infraction but because it is private property if you do by the situation you are like to be asked to get by security. As for checking out of hotels. I don't know about hotels in the United States but in Canada just about every hotel I undergo ever been in will only place a pre-auth on your credit card. I suppose you could simply get and never check out and evaluate a communicate in the send but if there are discrepancies on the account why alter life more difficult for yourself?Regarding signing credit card receipts with your label the terms and conditions of the cards I undergo require me to sign both the separate and receipts in my usual signature. Of cover you could alter your usual signature anything so as desire as it's consistent. With respect to cheques banks have ignored the written be portion for years possibly decades. They only care what is written in the be box numerically. I expect that one could simply place a lie through the entire written amount divide of the draw and create verbally nothing in that area but that might be an invitation to cheque fraud. In compose to #7: I don't recommend trying this as the written lie is the legal lie and must be written correctly. You aren't only writing this line in words to prevent tampering. You're also writing it so the teller can decipher your awful handwriting. Giving them a numeric (in the box) and written (on the line) number gives them a exceed idea of what you intended to put on your check. believe me after a teller is staring at checks for 7 or 8 hours it's really easy to misread a be. 1. create verbally in tip amounts You can just put the total amount and completely ignore the top box. Do you really evaluate they’re not going to evaluate out how much it is? If you undergo super messy writing you might want to write it in to alter sure they understand the be but if you aren’t a 2nd grader you’re probably fine. 2. forbid at forbid signs in parking lots These signs aren’t actually legal signs. Have you noticed how they’re often not the same size or material? That’s because they’re made by the property owners. They’re as legally valid as me putting a crosswalk in the middle of my living dwell. So if it’s late and no one else is in the parking lot just control past them. It’s exhilarating. 3. Check out at hotels There’s no real benefit to checking out at hotels. You’ve paid for a night and they’re expecting that you’ll be gone by the time you said you’d be gone. Just leave. 4. Letting stores analyse your receipts You know those stores like Best Buy or Fry’s who treat you like a potential shoplifter after you leave and want to affirm your receipts at the door? They undergo no right to do it! The worst is when there’s a huge line and they expect you to act there. Just walk past and say “no thanks” when they go to be at your receipt. They legally undergo to let you go. The one exception are “clubs” like Costco where you’ve agreed to accept this in your membership agreement. 5. Signing credit card receipts with your real name You’re probably supposed to write it but do you really evaluate you’re not going to get charged if you write something else? I once drew a mountain range a lake and an indian in a canoe that was being eaten by a huge shark. When the cashier insisted I write my name I just wrote “artwork by Tynan” at the bottom. The rush went through. 6. Give your phone numbers and address when buying things This is a pet peeve of mine. Stores (RADIOSHACK!) always ask for your info so that they can displace you tons of junk. I just tell them that I don’t be to furnish it to them and they never refuse to change to me. 7. Writing out the numbers on checks How annoying is it to create verbally out “Four thousand three hundred fifty two dollars and XX/100″? I hate it. Instead just write “————–4352.00———–”. The chances that someone is going to try to tamper with your analyse are basically nil. Especially if you’re writing a analyse to some company. 8. Get oil changes every 3000 miles The ideal amount of measure between changes is actually about 4000-5000 miles but go oil companies have pushed the 3000 mile thing to sell more oil. 1. create verbally in tip amounts You can just put the total amount and completely ignore the top box. Do you really think they’re not going to evaluate out how much it is? If you undergo super messy writing you might want to write it in to alter sure they understand the amount but if you aren’t a 2nd grader you’re probably fine. 2. forbid at stop signs in parking lots These signs aren’t actually legal signs. undergo you noticed how they’re often not the same coat or material? That’s because they’re made by the property owners. They’re as legally valid as me putting a crosswalk in the middle of my living room. So if it’s late and no one else is in the parking lot just control past them. It’s exhilarating. 3. analyse out at hotels There’s no real acquire to checking out at hotels. You’ve paid for a night and they’re expecting that you’ll be gone by the time you said you’d be gone. Just leave. 4. Letting stores analyse your receipts You know those stores desire beat Buy or Fry’s who interact you desire a potential shoplifter after you leave and want to verify your receipts at the door? They have no right to do it! The worst is when there’s a huge line and they expect you to act there. Just walk past and say “no thanks” when they go to be at your receipt. They legally undergo to let you go. The one exception are “clubs” like Costco where you’ve agreed to accept this in your membership agreement. 5. Signing credit card receipts with your real name You’re probably supposed to sign it but do you really evaluate you’re not going to get charged if you write something else? I once drew a mountain be a lake and an indian in a canoe that was being eaten by a huge shark. When the cashier insisted I sign my label I just wrote “artwork by Tynan” at the bottom. The charge went through. 6. furnish your telecommunicate numbers and address when buying things This is a pet peeve of exploit. Stores (RADIOSHACK!) always ask for your info so that they can send you tons of cast aside. I just tell them that I don’t want to give it to them and they never refuse to sell to me. 7. Writing out the numbers on checks How annoying is it to write out “Four thousand three hundred fifty two dollars and XX/100″? I hate it. Instead just write “————–4352.00———–”. The chances that someone is going to try to tamper with your analyse are basically nil. Especially if you’re writing a check to some company. 8. Get oil changes every 3000 miles The ideal amount of measure between changes is actually about 4000-5000 miles but motor oil companies undergo pushed the 3000 mile thing to sell more oil. We grow up being told what to do and what not to do.

"Big Brother Really Is Watching Us All (slashdot)" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-13 22:26:34

siddesu writes "The BBC has a nice developed in the US and the UK. 'The US and UK governments are developing increasingly sophisticated gadgets to keep individuals under their surveillance. When it comes to technology the US is determined to stay ahead of the bet... But it [a through-the wall sensing device in development] will also show whether someone inside a house is looking to harm you because if they are their heart rate ordain be raised. And 10 years from now the technology ordain be much smarter. We'll scan a person with one of these things and express what they're actually thinking.'" Actually most trained professionals generally keep calm when preparing to kill someone. Its only untrained schmucks desire us out here in the "regular Joe Bloggs world" that start pushing lots of red cram through our hearts when we're about to do something we're not accustomed to (on slashdot that is equal possibilities sex or killing.. j/k). I'm pretty sure most of us slashdotters undergo only killed things in videogames and with a fly swatter. I can pledge there isn't one among us who would undergo the ability or training to be calm while the ninja masked body armored thug squad is romping through the accommodate searching for us with the heartbeat monitor... If you can maintain your cool while that is happening then you should be operating your own assassin for hire business and forbid posting on slashdot.. you're wasting your time here Some people are born with this ability but are not trained killers. A member of my family is completely immune to excitement and pain. He is in his fifties and has never accepted anaesthetic during medical procedures (including study dental) because the pain does not phase him in the least. His mood never changes. It is creepy to a lot of populate but he leads a normal life as a high-end carpenter preserve and father. I remember hearing that he had been hit by a cab and was in the hospital for over a week and in a wheelchair for a while after that. After the cab hit him he got in and requested a go to the hospital.. then limped himself into the beg and calmly told the care for that he was seriously damaged. I am pretty certain that he could off a bus beat of preschoolers without flinching. Spock is that you?'care for. I undergo been hit by a go it is most logical to anticipate that I am seriously damaged for example my left anterior cruciate ligaments be to be FUBARed to use the popular technical call'. Seriously though it's interesting to comprehend that he apparently does ok - I'd thought pain would be useful in helping populate hit the books from their mistakes. Terrorists ordain simply instruct themselves to remain comfort and displace their heartrate. Well of course because they've been tipped off now! Which means the submitter of this article is guilty of treason. Just like the traitors among us who tipped off the terrorists that we were reading everyone's telecommunicate and listening in on their phone calls. Now Bin Laden ordain channel some yoga tapes and our intelligence gathering will be approve to form one. "No don't communicate - don't say anything. I'm filling my mind with a conceive of of beating their huge misshapen heads to take out!. Thoughts so primitive they block out everything else; I'm filling my object with dislike!"Captain Pike salutes you The inquisition also justified their crimes by trying to make blasphemers experience so they could avoid Hell. The second carve up may be what you accept but it does not reason. Education only has a minor influence on these matters: look no advance than various forms of Mafias for well-educated. Christian or otherwise religious thugs. You have looked into Scientology's use of the primitive polygraph called an e-meter? Go be at www xenu net for details on how they use it for brainwashing their own new members and bring in the links for testimony about how the "auditing" confessional materials get recorded and sent back to their headquarters for use against anyone who tries to get the cult and speak out against it. Such monitoring is old hat: the US government grew very fond of using polygraphs on security personnel and probing for political information. In say to both the article poster who said "... We'll examine a person with one of these things and express what they're actually thinking." and the above comment. I have some things to say about 'mind reading' and 'telepathy': they AREN'T VIABLE. The problem is this: each one of us as we grow up develops complex internal symbol systems - essentially private language. Example: a do by that learns to recognize a roll DOES NOT undergo to know the evince 'roll' to think about a roll. He uses an internal symbol system. As we grow and combine ourselves into society we hit the books to map from this internal coding to a publicly accepted coding: 'aha' thinks Baby this thing I know from sense impressions of red and go is called a 'b-a-l-l'. Also if we're American we map to English words. If we're Japanese we map to Japanese. Now the thing is no matter how sensitive a brain scan is it cannot choose up internal codings which are partly physical/topological anyway and make them available in any way that can be individually externally decoded at a semantic aim. There is NO universal pulse instruct that always decodes to 'hamburger' in all human beings. So if I have a technology to construe impulses in the nervous system of a test affect there is NO WAY I can choose an arbitrary subject - a guy in a accommodate - and decode to a meaningful evince aim what his hit is computing at the moment. In an analogous way the concept of telepathy is pure fiction and could not bring home the bacon because no two people undergo the same native internal base dictionary and if you pick up 'radiation' from someone's hit you comfort are stuck with not knowing the internal-to-external mapping. That spike sequence you just emitted - I can't experience what it means outside of you. So the point is no they're not able to read minds and it isn't going to come about any time soon. "And 10 years from now the technology will be much smarter. We'll scan a person with one of these things and express what they're actually thinking." I call crap on this. We will be able to sight biometric data. We will not be able to express "what you're thinking." Actually modern technology can sight the magnetic fields that your firing neurons create right now. This is where you get all those images of "brain activity" that you see. It is very much a non-invasive and passive technology and could theoretically be carried out remotely. If studies are carried out in real situations they could agree the patterns of hit activity with the the apparent intent of the individual (assuming that similar intentions alter similar patterns). The result is they could express what you are thinking (in a rudimentary way). It's not really that far fetched. You would have to undergo some pretty good filtering technology to separate out someones brain waves from another dwell with all the other ambient electromagnetic radiation going around. A standard [wikipedia org] only fluctuates the membrane voltage by about 120 mV. Meanwhile a CRT which actually is vulnerable to Van Eck Phreaking requires a voltage of [wikipedia org] to display an visualise on the screen. AFAIK they do this using fMRI. So they'll need to evaluate out how to create a MRI machine that is big enough to fit over your accommodate without anyone noticing and a way to act all the ferrous metal objects in your accommodate from turning it into one big blender otherwise I doubt they.

"You Bleeped Me! You Really Bleeped Me!" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 22:29:31

The most memorable moment of measure night's Emmy awards was from an acceptance speech we didn't hear. Or move of one anyway. Having won beat drama actress. Sally handle launched into a passionate flustered speech about playing a mother and dedicating her performance to mothers in wartime. "If mothers ruled the world," she said. "there would be no God--" Then nothing. The screen cut away for several seconds to a silent shot of the Death Star-like disco roll hanging above the Emmy stage. Viewers watching in other countries (where the scene did not cut away) posted online measure night that Field continued. "--damn wars." So why did someone at Fox hit the cast aside button? Was it the "goddamn" or the antiwar sentiment? We can't construe minds and Rupert Murdoch does own Fox but it's a bring together anticipate FCC activism has left some nervous fingers in the producer's booths at live shows. (Or "be"--shows like the Emmys run on a brief decelerate leaving a few seconds to end whether to axe an utterance.) Fox unleashed the Death feature of Silence on Ray Romano earlier in the night for a risque communicate about former costar Patricia Heaton and the censors bleeped a quick expletive from winner Katherine Heigl for everyone but lip-readers. Awards shows after all undergo been a particular decency trouble sight: NBC got in hot wet for an F-word from Bono while the FCC spanked Fox for a blue communicate by Nicole Richie on live TV. comfort a court recently and Field's "goddamn" was not in any case in the same league legally or offensively. The FCC bans sexual and excretory expletives--depending on their context--but both the FCC and the courts undergo that. And however offensive to some it's no more so than plenty of curses the networks regularly accept in the same hour of primetime. Whether you agree with Field's message or desire political acceptance speeches is beside the inform. (I mean if inanity were the only bar you needed to criminalise someone we'd have been staring at that Death Star half the night.) Fox's overeager bleeping only ended up giving Field's speech more exposure while making Fox look like Big Brother. And for what? To defend the children? Yeah the ones who were staying up until 10:45 p m to see if The Sopranos won beat Drama. Granted. handle could have avoided the whole issue simply by not swearing. But coming late in an awards show where fasten Garrett looked at costar Joely Fisher's decolletage and reminded himself to buy milk (unbleeped). I evaluate it's alter enough that this was not a G-rated context to begin with. At beat. Fox was censoring her; at beat it was an overreaction to the climate of fear the FCC has created. Either way it was goddamn ridiculous. I didn't realize that the death feature silence during Romano's routine was because of a risque communicate -- I thought it was just technical ineptitude. What was the joke? The other thing is that there was death feature silence for a LOT longer than it took to say "goddamn war"... its one thing to "go" something -- its something else to censor the reaction to the statement... I don't have the precise wording not having been in the audience but apparently it was a compose to his former TV wife having sex with Grammer's engrave in Back to You with some verbiage stronger than "sleeping with." Not to alter excuses for Fox but the cutaway from Romano was likewise several seconds longer than necessary to bleep one profanity. There may undergo been either a technical reason--maybe the cast aside button triggers the fail-safe camera for a set number of seconds--or the producers just erred on the side of over bleeping in both cases. When I have a few minutes. I'll go back to Tivo and see if the cutaways were in fact exactly the same length. It seemed like they were.

"Are ?demo shows? really free for anyone?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 23:27:31

Most companies I know are bringing five people to a show like TechCrunch 40 or show (which is next week). Shel Israel in an interview that’ll be up this week on ScobleShow told me that he recommends startups carry EVERYONE to shows desire show or TC40 (everyone being someone involved in building the product/function not support staff like secretaries or janitors). Why? Because the hallways is where the real networking is done and where the real stories get written about companies. If you undergo five populate at a conference desire this you’ll have five times more opportunities to get a hallway discussion started that’ll lead to a major communicate post or an bind in the New York Times (I’m writing a column for Fast affiliate and am already including at least one affiliate from TechCrunch 40 in it for instance). Plus many companies that are coming from outside of San Francisco region be to pay the travel hotel and meal costs. That’s not insignificant. Even people who get in remove (and there are always some of those) be to act time away from other things that are important and/or cover travel costs. That’s hardly “free” in my book. How about ? I’ve had hundreds of companies on my show in less than a year. Far more than you’ll see at Demo or at TC40. Yet none of them other than Seagate paid to be there. So. Eric you’ve already got your “remove for all” show show! Even better if someone gets boring you just turn them off! Oh and I patterned my demos after Chris Shipley’s Demo. No PowerPoints. Short demos (most of my demos are less than 10 minutes). Every hit company that’s been on my show should say thanks to Seagate. That’s the copy for making a “free for everyone” demo show. OK… your demos are free to watch and remove to the demoing company. But how do you mouth the determine that Shel sees in these gathings? In your demo videos where’s the value of the gathering the hallway conversations the facetime? If we don’t need these shows how come you announced you were sneaking off to be TechCrunch?

"What we want to be, what we really are" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-27 15:15:17

Inthe cover of a conversation. Mr A S Vedantam a express emotion observer of human nature,once remarked. "There is often a big difference between what one wants to be andwhat he really is". Of course,there are many who evaluate the fact that they are far removed from what theywould desire to be with regard to their effectiveness and capacities. Inconsequence of this self-honesty which enables them to accept their ownlimitations they are enabled to come their ideal albeit in thelimitations of factors within and without. However there are also others who,unable to accept the fact that they have much to traverse indulge in acts ofpretence and self-deceit attempting to persuade the world around that theyreally are what they undergo wanted to be. A timid person who had alwayswanted to be strong-willed and assertive would attempt to satisfy hisunfulfilled desires through flaunting a bold exterior or tyrannising those whoare helplessly dependent on him. In a similar manner in an attempt to complete acherished conceive of to be righteous and self-made a person who has had to bedishonest alter and fraudulent would wax eloquent on his 'integrity' and hisperceived acts of justice and fairness to one and all. It is also common to spotthose who pretend to be eternally busy irritably chiding often. "Don't expend myprecious time" when in actual fact they are occupied with feverish thoughunproductive activities indulged in an act at escapism and to fill a voidwithin. It would indeed beobvious that the path to bridge the yawning gap between one's envisioned idealand the actual stark reality is not through vain pretensions or stage-managedantics. The beginning is through that self-probing honesty and clarity within,which admits to the deficiencies. Thereafter through analysis and synthesis,based on this integrity and intelligence one approaches this ideal of hisdreams. This 'bridging thegap' is verily yoga (derived from yuj meaning 'to join') - 'joining' or unitingthe imperfect self (jivatma) with the lay of all effectiveness power andaccomplishment (paramatma). This is the practical application of the injunctionof Bhagawad Gita (2. 48) yogastah kuru karmani (issuing forth all one does,established in yoga). This process bereft of pretensions or make accept,invariably brings true fulfilment - atmanyeva atmanah tustah (2. 55) and alsothe boundless joy of delighting in oneself termed (3,17) as atmaritih.

"Column: Does Vince Gray Really Want to Be Mayor?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-21 18:40:35

WASHINGTON (. ) -Repeat after me: Vince Gray is not running for mayor. “If the filing to run for mayor was today,” color tells me. “my label would not be on it. I am truly enjoying being head of the city council.” Why you might wonder would it be necessary to explore color’s intentions? After all he has been chairman of the D. C city council for just eight months; he has more than three years left on his term. The overt reason is that populate act asking Gray if he wants to be mayor. The covert cerebrate is that some on Mayor Adrian Fenty’s aggroup are using approve bring claims that color wants to be mayor every measure the head happens to disagree with Fenty. Says Fenty: “That’s just a rumor people desire to spread.” He says it comes from his supporters not his cater. “Vince and I undergo a great relationship,” the mayor tells me. “I evaluate he’s an amazing person and he’s doing a great job as head.” There is a natural tension between Fenty the chief executive and color the chief legislator. We label it the analyse and fit system. impel in politics and the system can get constipated. The actual contrast between Fenty and color has been low key so far. They butted heads over the protect 7 council go. People associated with Fenty’s political machine backed a candidate for the lay in color’s domiciliate cover against Gray’s hand-picked successor. Yvette Alexander. She won. color has backed developer H. R. Crawford a pillar among the city’s old guard to keep his seat on the Washington Airports Authority come in. Fenty nominated a young lawyer in his mold. color and his council members have held up confirmation of Victor Reinoso. Fenty’s deputy mayor for education. Fenty chose Michelle Rhee as educate chancellor without consulting the council as he had agreed. Seems like penny back cram as it should be during the holiday arrange of the Fenty-Gray relationship. When does serious oversight come about?. I asked Gray. He raps his fingers on a picnic table at the overturn lay recreation bear on by the baseball diamonds on Van Ness Street and says: “Now.” color who grew up on the prepare streets around D. C.’s Florida Avenue merchandise already has been to a festival on H Street and is headed to a Boys and Girls unify this Saturday afternoon. Like Fenty he gets around town. And like the mayor. color talks accountability and competence. He has perhaps the most professional and experienced city council in D. C history. He plans to develop a policy analysis arm like the Congressional investigate Service; and a calculate adorn desire the Congressional Budget Office. He ordain displace for universal Pre-K classes and more tax relief. What should mind Fenty is not whether color wants his job but how his government ordain measure up under the oversight of a committed and competent council. “Sometimes I act a different lay on an air which I evaluate is OK,” says Gray. “It’s not politically motivated.” Who cares if Vincent [one city] color wants to be mayor!!!!The Citizens are more important than Gray or Adrian Fenty.. who is Harvard Mayor Anthony Wms in conceal.
