How I “captcha” thee

So, it seems that submitting comments anonymously or commenting at all is not what it used to be. In these times of furious blogging and social networking sites popping up all over the place, not to mention the amount of bots running rampant, we have to implement the technology known as the “captcha”. I for one, was not a big proponent at first but now I see the futility.

Lightbulb ON!

“Ideas are the beginning points of all fortunes” – Napoleon Hill

I received this email today and after reading it a few times and thinking it over, I thought…….Hey, not a bad idea. Also, this goes along my long conceived idea of “Why can’t we just print more money, It’s just paper after all”. (more…)

I’m the internet, you’re the internet……….I love the nutter net!

‘Tis Friday!,  Footloose Friday that is ( I have to credit Schwartz Monkey for that ) Instead of playing “footloose” though, I thought I would toss in one of my all time favorite videos. Of course, this video covers an issue that is still prevalent; Net neutrality http://wearetheweb.org/. You might recognize the lady in the video as the “sweater lady” although, her real name is Leslie Hall and not only did she do this video but she has many others on her site that are worthy of a click http://lesliehall.com/

Shhhh…It’s a secret

Well, I guess it won’t be anymore since I am posting it on the “internets”. Here, i offer to the world my cure all of cure alls to the hiccups. Never again do you need to breath into a paper bag, drink a glass of water upside down, grab hold of your tongue or stick a finger in yer pooper. Ok, maybe i exaggerate on the later remedy but still, never again will you need to resort to these so called failed solutions. I have found the cure and I am now sharing it with you.

    Snapshot of the International Space Station

     
    On March 13, 2008, the International Space Station passed across the field-of-view of Germany's remote sensing satellite, TerraSAR-X, at a distance of 195 kilometers, or 122 miles, and at a relative speed of 34,540 kilometers per hour, or more than 22,000 mph. In contrast to optical cameras, radar does not 'see' surfaces. Instead, it is much more aware of the edges and corners which bounce back the microwave signal it transmits. Smooth surfaces such as those on the station's solar generators or the radiator panels used to dissipate excess heat, unless directly facing the radar antenna, tend to deflect rather than reflect the radar beam, causing these features to appear on the radar image as dark areas. The radar image of the station therefore looks like a dense collection of bright spots from which the outlines of the space station can be clearly identified. The central element on the station, to which all the modules are docked, has a grid structure that presents a multiplicity of reflecting surfaces to the radar beam, making it readily identifiable. This image has a resolution of about one meter (about 39 inches). In other words, objects can be depicted as discrete units--that is, shown separately--provided that they are at least one meter apart. If they are closer together than that, they tend to merge into a single block on a radar image. Since this image was taken, the station has expanded and is more than 90 percent complete, including a full complement of solar arrays. Image Credit: DLR
