If you could scientifically force God's hand to always act in a certain way, the engineers would have a field day with it. :) I'm a dude who knows God is real. I don't try and prove him. I just say he is real, and that we all should love each other more because that is what my Bro Jesus said. Just about everyone will conclude the world needs more love.

I need to stop being so work focused(in hopes of helping poor), and focus on loving the ones close to me.

Over 75% of the articles on Slashdot front page are all political in nature over tech/science related. There's even an article that is Pro-FCC which basically every geek knows is trying to shaft us.

I don't like this Slashdot beta. It was bad enough with all the sock puppet accounts trying to do political spin, but it seems like all the articles are now political. I'll give it a few weeks and see if it was just an anomaly, but Slashdot could be in its death spirals. I've been noticing a change, but you can do it yourself, look at the front page of approved articles, they're almost all political in nature.

Epyx: Summer Games for C64. Then we'd have someone going,"Oh you won the gold medal for diving? Well I got the gold medal for diving too, and pole vault, and 100m dash."

The UN disagrees with what you say. There are reports that come out every year that says World Hunger is going away over time. Every bit we can donate helps it go away faster. And if you think about it: Look at first world countries, the more wealth a country has, generally the lower the birth rates are.

I'm not faulting Notch. There's something about sending the message to kids that you can live large doing computer science stuff. But what you said are things that are tools to make more money. If you want to sacrifice your entire life to live for the poor because it is a noble thing to do, you don't simply give everything you have to live on to the poor. If you do that, you become a problem yourself and can no longer make money. What you do is live on only necessities to get by on and classify things as tools to make more money. One such investment is an education, you should always be getting one now the Internet affords it. The money and time you save in entertainment can help you get a better education.

1 Corinthians 15:19 GNT
If our hope in Christ is good for this life only and no more, then we deserve more pity than anyone else in all the world.

Thankfully God let me know he is real so I know Jesus Christ is real. He wants us all to be good to each other, and love each other. I think most people would agree that this world needs more love.

I'm a dude who knows God is real, so the older I get, the closer I'm getting to meeting my Bro Jesus and my loved ones that passed on.

I have an article I wrote about aging in light of God existing

Sure, we had Java at the time, but for some reason Visual Basic caught on big time in the late 90s. After going to school for software engineering, I had to completely remember how to program in subs. Subs are just like functions, except you need to remember to never use the same loop variable you used in the parent subs :P

One of my ideas was for a gaming network where you played online video games, and you split ad revenue between the player and yourself.

I then wanted to simplify the system and just have a streaming network where you watched advertisements and got paid. The problem is that someone could simply turn it on and walk away from their computer and there's no way to know they watched the ads. The same thing is going on with bots. Anyone can say they watched ads or clicked on ads with computer, and until you solve a way to determine if someone is actually sitting there watching the ads, your system is open to exploitation.

Until courts will stop rewarding RIAA for suing every backwater bar, video game streamer, internet provider, or anyone who plays their music at a party, they'll keep suing everyone. Hey, the music industry isn't as profitable as it was before the free transmission of information, so lets sue anyone who allows free transmission of information. If those buggy whip makers only were as sue happy then as the RIAA is now, maybe some people would still be using horse drawn carriages because cars could have been sued away before they gained ground.

You know what's really lowered the price of solar panels, and got them economical for the rest of the world? The Chinese Connection.

I'm not endorsing anyone doing this for real. It is just a thought on the ramifications. If they can catch you more often when you do bad driving, would we stop hanging them high, and put lower fines on driving infractions?

Okay, police are tracking people on their cell phone. So they should know if you're in a car traveling with someone else. So they should be able to make like "facebook friends" of all the people who travel with you. If someone reports your car's license plate, they probably could just feasibly link that to your phone on a simple 1:1 database search and stop you down the road if you're driving erratically.

This makes me wonder how the public could contribute... Has anyone thought of, just for getting a full panopticon feel and a reverse likes of making a website that links bad driving with your license plate number? All you would do is take a video of a car driving bad in front of you, then upload it to a video sharing site, link it with the license plate on a searchable website. Suddenly all the bad driving someone does is now logged permanently on the Internet.

Now cops could "randomly" be browsing the worst offenders, and just "happen to be the the area" (by linking drivers licence to cell phone records against bad drivers within 1 mile of a patrol car), and hand out reckless tickets.

Well escaping the KGB laid the foundation, and Tetris put most the of the bricks in place, but I spent the rest of my life looking for that one missing piece.
