I don’t know.
I think I like your suggestion of “Homo luminus”.
The more it sits with me, the more I like it. 🙂

Republicans LIKE TO BILL THEMSELVES as the party of
“small government” and like to try to seduce people
to their party by making scaring statements such as
“Democrats want big government; Democrats want socialism;
Democrats’ll tax ya”

But Republicans DON’T actually believe in governmental
non-interference . . .

I think what “supposedly” happened was that she wrote the
manuscript for her book years ago, and submitted it to the studios
claiming a personal copyright. The studios weren’t “interested”
in her manuscript. Then she felt that the subsequent movies
“Terminator” and “The Matrix” were some rip-offs of some ideas
in her previously…[Read more]

I’m 99% certain they are region-free.

Typically, the only DVDs that are region-encoded are
movie and TV DVDs, for the purpose being to prevent the sales
of the DVD of a movie/TV show in another country/region
where the movie/TV show has yet to be released.

This is the “philosophy” behind region-encoding anyway.

Unless the people…[Read more]

Very cool . . .

Definitely an application of “Be Happy”http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-diB65scQU

Since we don’t have a copy of her manuscript, we have no idea
if the movies are a direct rip-off or not. At the same time,
virtually nothing new in Hollywood is completely original–just a
recycling of old ideas already established, so any movie made
is likely to exhibit similarities to some already published writings.

Since this woman…[Read more]

Hello All,

Be careful in believing some of the math on that website!!!
Some of it is WRONG, and so this puts his trustworthiness into question.

FOR EXAMPLE:
His information about the “TRUE VALUE OF PI” etc. is utter nonsense.

Just in case anyone was/is lured in,
and may actually believe his claim,
let me now provide a “MATHEMATICAL…[Read more]

I love Sridhar’s statement toward the end of the video:
“It’s about seeing the world as it can be, and not what it is.”

Thx for sharing . . . S

Hey Dog,

Saw this article and thought you’d enjoy . . .

A physical force is manifested as a result of pure thinking
and no application of physical force on my part . . .
seems like that qualifies as telekinesis to me.

If you restrict yourself to induced motion only due to
non-scientific means, I concede . . . BUT it is a gray area.

Suppose the machine reading the brain waves becomes more…[Read more]

Interesting how Earthquakes act as cross-purposes to Pollution
with regard to the length of a day. A natural balancing act?
Could increased pollution trigger increased earthquakes?
See the two articles below . . .

Earth’s Days Get Longer, Humans Responsible

Thanks Dog for sharing an interesting article.
Here’s the explanation from the physics perspective.

FORCE ISSUE

A bee doesn’t weigh much at all.

From physics, F = m * a

Thus with such a small mass m, you can have pretty substantial acceleration a,
and still yield a relatively tiny force F required to get the bee up to…[Read more]

So are you going to come back this year? 🙂

S

Yeah, I agree some of the photos are blurry, but
it will probably be the “final copy” for awhile–Tynne’s
been having some computer issues unfortunately, and it
took her a lot of time to make this one 🙁

It would be great if you guys could come out again.
You and your wife were a joy to have.

Steven

Hi Dog,

I saw this article today on wave power.
I seem to remember you had an interest in it.

Oh, you have to come out!
2007 was a long time ago 🙂

It’ll be cool to see you again …
And there are a lot of awesome courses!
Last year, I was a maniac, and I took 5 of them!

Creating a stereotype creates a judgemental thoughtform
which poisons the field.

There’s a common stereotype that “boys are better at math
and science than girls”. This is BS. From my experience,
girls and boys are just as good at it–it’s just that the
boys get the encouragement, whereas the girls are expected
to not do as well.…[Read more]
