  1. Piet Mondrian now - even better. Got a bit obsessed with his work once - this was my iphone after I got a bit liberal with the sugru

  2. Thanks.

    Just a few days now - to be honest I still haven't done anything on the moderation side, still feeling my way around.

      I know it will be shown to be experimental or data-analysis error - but what if it isnt....

  3. @Studiot I believe this is a public message

  4. I am changing the way my bike changes gear using my desktop pc - is there a possibility we have become a little silly in our uses of technology?

      I see it as enabling you to do things that you otherwise couldn't have contemplated. You never know, one of your flights of fancy might end up in the corpus of bike knowledge because you can disseminate it at the push of a button.

      Yes I was being facetious and tried to use an amusing example. Setting up the bench in a certain way just did not have the same ring as a ritualistic sacrifice, but would look similar to the observer (and blood was actually involved).

      and the hexagrams purely coincidental?

      Well, they seem to increase yield.

  8. "sorry for the probably wrong conjunctive mood. I am not native speaker and hated foreign languages at school :)" It was a great post and beautifully written

      Reading about him, the US army should never had deployed him or allowed him access to the data. That said, they did and he became a traitor. I am not sure if he should be in a mental hospital or shot.

      Mental hospital or shot? He uncovered war crimes, unless i'm misinformed. His sexual orientation is irrelevant if that has anything to do with your statement in my opinion.

      "His sexual orientation is irrelevant if that has anything to do with your statement in my opinion." Actually, it may have some relevance, but not in the way you imply. This individual had lots of emotional and psychological issues. This I am sure played a big role in what happened. In my opinion the US army should never have deployed him, but then hindsight is 20-20.

      I was hoping you meant hard in a gangster rap manner.

      God I must be old - I don't know if "hard in a gangster rap manner" is good or bad. And no I mean it really makes me work to understand the ideas, remember the models, and see the true path.

      I understand most of them served time for aggregated assault. :)

      CORRECTION: That would be aggregated basalt. :)

      Did the neutrino bounced off the pub or pass through it?

      If you like sci-fi, you can't go wrong with enders game. Theirs a second one I think i'll be getting around to reading it soon.

      Better late than never but I suggest the Gaean trilogy by John Varley. Outrageous genetic engineering in Science fiction.

      Will give Varley a bash. I loved Enders Game. Audiblized (I know it doesnt exist) Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon as well - good fun
