    admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Huge Flaw Found in Intel Processors; Patch Could Hit 5-30% CPU Performance...   
    The other chip manufacturers use a technique known as "clean room" ... where there are two rooms isolated from each other.  In one room the hardware designers reverse engineer the Intel chips ... and without writing down the code .. write a set of SPECIFICATIONS of what that portion of the Intel chip is doing.
    Then they (AMD or ARM designers) pass the specifications to room No. 2, and with no hints of HOW Intel designed their chips, the reconstructors, from the specifications, design new chips that will exactly emulate what Intel's chips do ... without using ANY of the same code, never having seen it.  All this is heavily documented.
    Since 1995 this has been working well, until October of 2016, when one of the AMD disassemblers in clean room no. 1 was eating lunch, and  set a pack of specifications for clean room no. 2 in his chair , and sat down on and smeared a paper towel with six "Chips Ahoy!" cookies.

    UPDATE: 9/18/2018
    I had a tree about 150 feet tall and as big around as a barrel fall across my chain link fence in the side yard and crushed about three, ten foot sections of fence.
    When it gets cooler, I will chain saw it and repair the fence.
    90% of the tree is on my neighbor's property, but it is a big farm, so I will not have to move it.
    It looks like we missed "Stormageddon"!
    It was like being chased by a giant turtle.

    Steve Wozniak's (The Woz) Net Worth is estimated to be $100 million USD.
    Check this out: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/21/why-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-doesnt-trust-money.html and https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/21/why-apple-co-founder-steve-wozniak-doesnt-trust-money.html
    As for Bill Gates, I'd say he is still richer, he is sitting at a Net Worth of estimated to $97.9 billion USD.
    The only riches among them I can think of is Amazon's founder, Jeff Bezos, who is having an estimated Net Worth of $161.6 billion USD.
    Then we have Warren Buffet at $89.2 billion USD.

    admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in FEMA will test a system that would allow Trump to text directly to your phone....   
    “The EAS is a national public warning system that provides the president with the communications capability to address the nation during a national emergency,” explained FEMA on its website.
    In England during World War II, they had mail service twice a day, and notified people of national emergencies BY MAIL!
    This EAS is a system set up to warn people of national emergencies, like thermonuclear war, where you have PERHAPS 15 minutes to take cover.
    FAKE NEWS is when it is alluded to that Trump is going to use it for ANY personal purpose.

    admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Hurricane Florence   
    Thanks for asking ....
    Here, near Charlotte, it was overcast today with no rain, and a 15 mph breeze.  Now, at approx. 12:30 AM Saturday, it's about the same, with no discernible wind noise.  Tomorrow it is an 85% chance of rain, with maximum 30 mph winds forecast. Sunday forecast is 30 mph and 100% chance of rain.
    I bought 26 candles in  glass tubes, 5 square yellow flashlights,  24 cans of beans and 60, 2.5 gal. freezer bags to fill with water.and 45 cans of dog food ( for relatives if they have to come over ... so they will leave ASAP).
    We live on a heavily wooded lot with very large trees, which I suppose will be the greatest danger, falling into the house, but we shall see.
    In 1954 I was 6 years old when Hurricane Hazel tore through Richmond Virginia,  and I went out and tied myself to a tree with a garden hose, and watched roofs peel off and flop down the street.
    It was fun!
    .... my Mom was not pleased .

    Going after the real problem, that is the better solution. Such a thing cannot be 100% stopped, that is like saying you can end world hunger and famine at the flick of the wrist.
    We can only prevent some instances, but we cannot prevent all of them sadly.
    This is coming from a guy who's people's children were almost subjected to human trafficking by the Americans, although we stopped this one, we cannot say much for the others because stuff like this isn't easy to deal with. The same goes for the human black market and the vampires for project Ambrosia.

    admin reacted to James Thomas Rook Jr. in Intelstat   
    That would be my guess ... I have an Iridium Satellite Phone now, and could make a call from the middle of the Pacific Ocean, if I wanted ... but it is almost as big as a WWII walkie-talkie, and has a large folding antenna. 
    It's not so much getting a signal FROM a Satellite, its the return signal. 
    If memory serves, a cell phone has only .4 watts, and the power is turned up and down by the cell tower.
    Perhaps I should work on a quantum entanglement phone, as conversation can now be reduced to zeros and ones (or on/off). and reconstructed at both ends. 
    Perfect truly Instant communication across ANY distance,  even across the Universe, and it cannot be jammed or tapped.
    Hmmmmm .....

    admin reacted to Raquel Segovia in El fósil de una tortuga sin caparazón que desconcierta a los científicos   
    Las tortugas no siempre tuvieron caparazón.
    La prueba de ello es el fósil de un ancestro de las tortugas actuales casi completo, que mide cerca de 10 metros de largo y tiene 228 millones de años de antigüedad.
    El fósil fue descubierto en la provincia de Guizhou, en el suroeste de China.
    "Tiene el aspecto de una tortuga pero no tiene caparazón ni en la parte dorsal ni en la parte ventral", señaló Nicholas Fraser, curador de ciencias naturales en el Museo Nacional de Escocia, en Edimburgo.
    "El fósil muestra la estructura donde iría el caparazón, pero este está ausente".

    Un kilo de pasta = 2,5 millones de bolívares = 0,38 dólares

    Venezuela espera el quinto reajuste del salario mínimo anunciado por el gobierno de Nicolás Maduro. Tal y como informó el Despacho de la Presidencia en redes sociales, el valor del sueldo subirá de 5,2 millones de bolívares a 180 millones bolívares soberanos. En otras palabras, de menos de un dólar a 28 en el mercado negro. La medida entrará en vigor el 1 de septiembre, en palabras del propio Presidente. Con la paga actual, el venezolano medio no podía comerse ni una hamburguesa.

    El programa de recuperación económica de Venezuela estará supeditado al valor del Petro, una criptomoneda creada por el gobierno de Nicolás Maduro respaldada por un barril de petróleo. Un petro equivale a 60 dólares.
    Un paquete de arroz de un kilo = 2,5 millones de bolívares = 0,38 dólares

    El ingreso mínimo se ve directamente afectado por la devaluación de la moneda y la creciente hiperinflación que sufre Venezuela, comparable con la que padeció Alemania en 1923 bajo la República de Weimar tras hincar la rodilla en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Según el Fondo Monetario Internacional, el porcentaje anual en 2018 podría llegar al 1.000.000%.

    "I had a dream in the sixties, where my mom, who died, came to me in the dream and was reassuring me, saying: It's gonna be ok" - Sir Paul McCartney. ?Try not to get shivers while watching this video...  Love tribulation. Tribulation means setback. Success is a result of endurance and tranquility during the unavoidable setbacks.

    1507940147251-drlcss.mp4 When you hear/see behind the scenes stories (Jaime Cohen and Reena Friedman Watts is on to something really great, check their content out), no matter whatever the story is about, it becomes real and authentic and 10x more powerful.
    An example, Paul McCartney telling the story about Let it be to James Corden. Stories creates emotions. Shivers. Tears. Laughter. 
    When you find yourself in times of trouble, Let it be... And sometimes, Letting it be instead of being stubborn benefits everyone.

    You just cannot take off and land this thing from a Freeway .... you still have to fly in and out of airports.
    For the daily INTEREST on 1.5 million dollars, you could have a limousine and driver waiting for you at both ends of the trip, and have money left over.
    .... not to mention the cost of collision insurance for a 1.5 million dollar car, where a 5mph "fender bender" could cost  a hundred thousand dollars in airframe repair.
    This may physically be done,  but they way things are ... probably should not.
    Can you imagine trying to park this thing on ANY city street?

    I can imagine the paper shredders now working 24/7/365 ..... in both the Vatican, and in Warwick.
    The Statute of Limitations has run out on pressing criminal charges on all but TWO of the accused priests ... but I wonder about the CIVIL liability that the church itself has.?
    Just as Al Capone  was prosecuted for Income Tax Evasion, perhaps the Catholic Church itself can be prosecuted for conspiracy, organized mob activity, or some other thing RELATED to the great evil perpetrated here.
    In their "Secret Archives" ... I wonder if they use "Blue Envelopes", to report  these crimes to their equivalent of Branch Overseers ... the Bishops .....  as we do for OUR secret archives.?
    Several years ago the Catholic Los Angeles Diocese was sued and a lost 600 MILLION dollars, in the same sort of cases, and because they did not have the money, the courts confiscated their real estate, and sold it at auction.
    (That's almost 3/4 BILLION dollars ....  for those in Rio Linda.).

    When I go through Las Vegas, I spend $100 gambling before continuing my trip.
    One time, years ago, after about 20 minutes, I had the "programming" of a $1 slot machine figured out, and was making $3.00 every 4 pulls.  Soon I had a bucket full of real U.S. $1 "silver" dollars.
    I had been there four hours.   THEN, I hit a small jackpot and the money clattered down into the tin tray, lights flashed, and I think I remember sound effects of some sort.
    A very attractive "cigarette girl"/waitress tapped me on the shoulder and asked me if I wanted a drink.
    I asked her how much were they?
    She said they were complementary ( I am thinking a coca-cola or a root beer ...).
    She explained I could have any kind of drink, would I like a cocktail?
    I said I sure could use a Southern Comfort Whiskey Sour.
    Every time my glass was empty, she brought another.
    after four, it occurred to me I had a BETTER "system"
    Next thing I knew, my buckets of silver dollars were empty.
    I figure those  free Whiskey Sours cost me about $400 each.
    Could be worse .... Obama said if you like your plan, you can keep your plan, and if you like your Doctor, you can keep your Doctor ... and every family would save $2,500 every year!

Very quickly I heard from @OfficeSupport   Hi, Tom. Thank you for reaching out. Please tell us more about the issue that you're having? Also, which Office application are you using? We'll wait for your response.   Me: This is kind of you to respond. The ‘Link to Previous’ button seems to have no effect. Office365Word. Enter chapter titles in odd header & it still populates headers of other sections. Sometimes it does. Othertimes no. Am I misreading the instructions?   Would you like to call our technical support team for a help? They can walk you through and guide you on how to use the Word. They can also answer all your questions in real time. Call them at 1-800-642-7676.   Me: If I enter the number you have given me, 800-642-7676, into a search engine, I come up with a host of pages saying that the holders thereof are frauds and liars.   …We understand the caution regarding this. We would like to confirm that the number we’ve provided is a legitimate Microsoft number…   A day or two passed. Then I heard from them again.   Hi, Tom! How’s everything? We hope you're having a great time. We’d love to hear about your experience with our Social Media support here: http://msft.social/dDqG3B . Feel free to send us a message anytime if you need our help. 1/2   Me: It’s not going well at all. Googling the phone number you gave me, 1 800 642 7676, returns many pages that say you are a scam.   (Concurrent with their tweet above): You may also Subscribe to our Customer Support YouTube channel here: http://msft.social/RqoPMD . Thanks for your time! 2/2   Me: One channel is all I need. If Google says the phone number you gave me, 1 800 642 7676, is a fraud, I will not hold my breath on a YouTube channel. Clean up that mess, if it is wrong.   .........   Everyone knows this phone number. This is the number that pops up when suddenly your screen freezes and you are advised that you have a virus or much worse. If you call them, you will find that they speak English poorly, and are intent upon having you cede control of your computer to them so that they may better 'help' you.   Look at your address bar and you will see it is simply a web page that has taken over everything else. That does not mean it is easily disposed of. Ususally a hard reboot is required, and also that browser session must be prevented from re-opening.   Plainly, these folks are outside of the country, so they are not easily thwarted. Even so, I am a little surprised that the actual Microsoft, big as it is, does not do whatever it takes to shut them down, as it leaves a horrible ugly taste toward their products from those who have been so accosted, and probably drives many to Apple. Maybe @admin, influential as he is, can pass this along to them. This is a job that even @The Librarian (the old biddy) may not be able to handle.

    I doubt seriously that this is the ONLY issue where you agree with the philosophy of Karl Marx. He was a brilliant economist who supported the theories of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations (1776), considered to be one of the most important capitalist economists of his time. More of Karl Marx advances on such theories have withstood the test of time and produced more predictable results.
    Most anti-Marxists have never read Marx's works. (What's even worse is that most most PRO-Marxists and Marx experts have never read his works either.) People who think they are anti-Marx often merely associate him with things they have heard they shouldn't believe in.
