Creativity is something i hold as sacred or as close to sacred as possible.
The only defacto type of real material immortality one can claim is immortality through ones creations.
Quantum physics suggest dimensions beyond the basic 3 all of them encompassing all possible states and positions of all subatomic particles in the universe (I.E multiple realities)
Combine this with "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic"
-Arthur C Clark
or the derived "Any sufficient…

After all the corruption and scandal in wall street you'd think the americans would learn not to turst the big corporations...
but no... they just hand out the money no strings attatched.

1) Agresive 2 wars...
2) Torture
3) Kidnapping
4) illigal wiretaping and so on...

Ok here is the secret!
1) make then thick! 1,5-2cm thick!
2) Scold them! I.e put them in boiling water for a bit but not to long... you dont want them getting soft.. only boil them a bit.
3)Dry them of... i use some papper towls and a hair dryer for this and i make sure there really really dry so they soak up the oil into every creavis sealing in the natural flavour of the potato.
(when you fry food you make a glass surface... as you cook vegentable in general the cell walls will break down re…

Mojo portal!
its a bit less flexible then dotnetnuke but it looks like it will do just fine for what i need it for its super easy to configure and…

if i can just master it enught to us it as a mouse then at the very least i have my ideal wearable interface.

Right now the html and xhtml standard has a dtd referance (document type defenition)
which esentialy describs the format and means people can validate there code to see that is complies..
every browser maker has to implement the behaviour as set forth by the w3c consotium for these "recomendations" (only goverment agencies can issue standards) .
but all of these are faulty to some extent no one forfils all the acid tests 100% accuratly.
So why not just make one standard to rule them all (lord…
