I had to ask because it seemed that Albert Einstein wasn't hired for pioneering E=mc2, and Benjamin Franklin refused to patent his inventions and wanted them to advance society rather than his pocketbook. So then I started wondering about the other scientists and even the ancient philosophers.

Either as a job, or hired to pursue their now famous work. For example: Socrates, Plato, or Aristotle for their contributions to philosophy. And Isaac Newton or Albert Einstein for their contributions to science. Benjamin Franklin for his inventions.

The animator worked in both Photoshop and Flash. I don't have the programs, so he saved me the both the work file (.fla) and a video copy of the animation. That way I could still view and show it to others. But the Flash on his Mac only gave a GIF or MOV as options for saving the animation. GIF is horribly compressed, so we picked .mov. On the Windows machine of a different animator, Quicktime wouldn't open the .mov file which is strange because it had created the file on the Mac. It's possible we made an error somewhere, I'll have to double check. For some reason, the one .fla file opened up in Windows just fine but wouldn't save, yet now it's mysteriously able to save edits of the other .fla files. Maybe there wasn't really a problem but an oversight somewhere. I really hope the work files are portable between systems as I plan on having others do more editing to the files, via Dropbox or related service. Fonts are a major snag in this, as not everyone has the same fonts available their system. I encountered this problem with using Helvetica on some animations. They couldn't be edited, instead having to be completely redone for each instance.

Is the following always secure? (Let's assume correct file extension) 1. Installing fonts 2. Running portables (no-installation programs that you can run from your thumb drive)? 3. Preview windows of sites? For example, you hover the muse over a link and it shows you a preview of the site it leads to. Wouldn't accessing a preview of a malware website also launch all its scripts?

What's your experience in working on the same .xcf files between different systems? On a Windows computer, I have trouble playing .mov files saved by Adobe Flash on a Mac system, even though Windows has the same version of Adobe Flash (CS5). Even worse, Adobe's .fla work files saved on a Mac don't quite want to play nice on Windows. I hire different people to work on the same animation files, but they have different computer systems so it's becoming a real pain with incompatibility. How does GIMP fare in this manner?

I'm just wondering if you can leave comments anywhere, in whatever format. Even just inserting them in the header portion of files, such as video or images. Without corrupting the file. Or maybe attach a file or program into the header or comment area, but it'd be entirely inactive and wouldn't even be noticed -- the image, video, or whatever file would open normally and the embedded file/program would be inert....thus it has to be extracted in order to be functional.

The later stuff I mentioned is just a "what if" scenario. But the people we consider to be geniuses did have: ....inheritance of ideas from written documentation and history, combined with a safe environment in which to explore and ponder knowledge frequently at leisure, and the influence of nurture....

I'm not sure about it being so telling. It seems communication and exchange of ideas with other cultures, plus inheritance of ideas from written documentation and history, combined with a safe environment in which to explore and ponder knowledge frequently at leisure, and the influence of nurture, are factors that determine to what extent genius can develop successfully. It'd be interesting to see what happens if a child were born and raised in a "lost tribe" (100% descended from its members), but with a full library, internet access, modern devices at home, video conferencing and direct interaction with different cultures, and great mentoring.

The Debunking Handbook pdf The challenge is that once misinformation gets into a person's mind, it's very difficult to remove. This is the case even when people remember and accept a correction. It's pretty interesting, explaining the psychology with a more effective and human strategy for debunking myths.

1) Are there any program languages that don't let you insert comments? By this I mean the extra notes and whatever that have no additional effect or function other than to be reading material for anyone viewing the underlying source code. 2) Do all files types let you place comments in them? For example, putting comments into a .jpeg, .txt, .exe, .ogg, .whatever, and they're only viewable if you check the header info or wherever they'd normally go (and the comment doesn't interfere with the normal viewing or executing of the file). 3) Is there a size limit to the comment you're able to put in #1 or #2? 4) Can you do a plain text comment for all instances of #1 or #2?

These two videos worked. Normally, it displays a message saying I need to install a Flash plugin, but instead it played the video using HTML5 technology. Awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmk43_2dtn0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESZ3NFL8X-k But unfortunately other videos there are still in Flash. Just want to know in case I upload videos, I'll make sure they're HTML5 playable. I used Firefox, newest version.

Sometimes if you use the "free" WiFi service of an open internet wireless connection, you get redirected to their webpage instead of your homepage when first opening your internet browser or trying to go to a webpage. How do they accomplish that?

Ok, but when the moving person returns just one of them is going to be older (or more aged). So what the slower frame person observed had been an illusion.

Well, "being" is too specific. Maybe we can use a phrase that's closer to meaning "object" but it covers more: An energetic form's ability to perceive and compartmentalize various instances of time, space, and energy and to blend information perceived about those into a unique and coherent structure that the form can use elsewhere for problem-solving and/or to extend or protect its existence in various other familiar/unfamiliar environments and even if some of the information it has perceived and/or retained was incomplete.

Ah, that's where I've been making an error. I usually hear people traveling near c age slower, but in reality it's people who accelerate continually for a long time that would age slower. If they jumped directly into light speed (not accelerating once) they wouldn't age slower. Correct?

Thank you swansont. Missed two questions however. 3) If every particle in the universe somehow were measured by instruments tomorrow, does it mean every particle in the universe would have a definite value? Meaning, now that every single particle has been measured and touched by instruments everywhere, they're no longer indefinite. So if we somehow accomplished this in a hundred years, scientists elsewhere in a million years would never know of an indefinite value because every particle was already observed long ago by Earth scientists, unless... 4) is is there an "expiration date" where the particle returns to an indefinite value again? You observe a particle with an indefinite value, thus it has gained a definite value, but after sitting there untouched for a very long time its value returns to an indefinite state (would that actually occur)?

I still don't get it. (What about my last question?)

I'll give the definition of intelligence a shot. A being's ability to perceive and compartmentalize various instances of time, space, and energy and to blend information perceived about those into a unique and coherent structure that the being can use elsewhere for problem-solving and/or its survival in various other familiar/unfamiliar environments and even if some of the information it has perceived and/or retained was incomplete. .

To clarify fully, does that mean each person would see the other aging slower, when in reality just one of them is?

From an article that swansont had linked to. According to a common interpretation of quantum mechanics, both photons are in indeterminate states until you measure them. It is important to make this distinction: it’s not simply that you don’t know what the polarization of each photon is until you measure it; instead, the polarization does not take on a definite value until you measure it. So photons are value-less if not measured. 1) How do we know or prove that without measuring? 2) And if a photon is measured and therefore it's polarization is set, does it keep the same value regardless of how many observations are made on it from then on? 3) If every particle in the universe somehow were measured by instruments tomorrow, does it mean every particle in the universe would have a definite value? If so, 4) is is there an "expiration date" where the particle returns to an indefinite value again? Or would the new definite value remain forever imprinted upon the particle? 5) Once its value is set by having measured it, can the value of a photon's orientation be changed to different value?

If one person A is accelerating to (or traveling at) a very high speed relative to person B, do their views of each other work like this?... Person A sees the actions of person B speeding up AND vice versa: person B sees the actions of person A speeding up. Person B sees the aging process slowing down for person A, who in turn sees the aging process speeding up for person B. So person A sees the other age quicker and move quicker. While person B sees the other age slower and move quicker.

Using view source, I grabbed all code related to the hide tags at this post in the forums.

I'd download the entire webpage, open the .css and .js files with a text editor, grab all relevant code that I'd find buried in the .css and .js files, paste it to the actual html file within a script tag and/or css stylesheets, delete all references to the .css and .js files, then clean up any loose ends in the html, and it worked. Basically, that allowed me to recreate only the parts I needed (stylesheet fonts, layout, colors, etc; cool scripts; embedded things; whatever) into a single webpage that had no external files to reference except images and/or webpage links. So the real question is, can hide tags be put on a nonforums webpage but function the same way they do on the forums?

When you search on IxQuick, the search results have a proxy version of the webpage that you can visit. It'll protect you from malicious scripts trying to install viruses or run on your computer from the website, because (I presume) you're viewing through IxQuick's servers. But how does it protect itself from the malicious stuff?
