I don't care if you believe in AGW or CGCCC- man caused global warming or cyclic global chaotic climate change- it's TOO LATE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT and has been for over 4 years now. Can we get back to aiding vulnerable populations and the victims of earthquakes, tsunami, volcanoes, and mild nuclear accidents now?

If you are going to design a political system on freedom for all, shouldn't you first believe in the humanity of all?
Something you two said, made me doubt what plaintext I was working against. So I went back to the database and came up with this list:

Real answer in comments, for anybody who still wants to play with the code.
I'm not going to go into the sordid story of how I find myself in this mess. But I'm running out of ideas, and need some techniques for figuring out Alphanum (hexatrigesimal) hash encoding.
Here's the current output of my test program:

As you can see, it's obviously NOT straight Alphanum encoded, there MUST be something else going on in the hash algorithim to encode 20110207277 as IKXS0CV. It's not a straight cipher either- mapping the base36 to the output yields multiple values for individual characters; same with any mathematical operation I can find on the original number.
I don't have source code for the original algorithim, but I need to at least duplicate changing the 7 digit alphanum back into the plaintext original (which itself is a plaintext positional code of year, month, day, and serial number for a given day).
Anybody know of any resources I should be studying or looking at? Or better yet, anybody recognize this algorithm to change an 11 digit number into a 7 digit alphanum?

Edit- additional info posted above. Added two new dates.
I don't normally read Mother Jones Magazine, but I recently got a whole lot of new friends on Facebook from the left wing.
This article argues that the Democrats actually abandoned labor in the 1970s in favor of more radical agendas- and because of that, ownership of resources in the United States is far out of balance.
But there's something very profound in the following anyway. I found an interesting trio of articles this morning:
The Truth Wears Off- The Decline Effect in Science
Why human beings can't walk straight
Circling themselves to Death- Blind Ants
That last garnered a comment about the Tea Party. But I think that all three together show some very profound implications for how we human beings arrive at a sense of truth and falsehood- and exactly how much we can count on our own internal sense of direction when other senses are removed.
NEVER buy Microsoft license keys from www . hotsoftsell . com. They are obviously a bunch of pirates, and in addition, have been spaming on an autistic support blog that I am on.
On commemorations of his 100th Birthday, I'm being introduced to a Ronald Reagan I never knew- lover of Catholics, except when it came to being pro-life, but certainly no right-wing ideologue.
I'm stuck with IE at work. This obviously was never tested in IE 8- with the way all the frames are now glued to the left side of the window and overwriting each other.
This is worse than OMG Ponies! interface.
I can't. I can't say I didn't know this kind of thing has been going on in America, for far longer than it should have, for far longer than it has been legal.
Looks like certain "Right Wingers here" really need to move to Idaho.
Though I have to wonder if Oregon's shame is caused in part by the way we treat the mentally ill- and in part because it's pretty comfortable to live outdoors here year 'round.
Ok, seeing as how what they thought was a closed source, mission critical, owned by company A but programmed by company B piece of custom software, turns out it *might* be a closed source, owned by company B piece of software, and company B is going bankrupt and company A has hired me to keep them from going down the great whirlpool that company B seems bound and determined to attach us to, and because this is an industry slightly outside of my expertise, and I haven't been able to find much on google.
Does anybody in my circle currently work, or has ever worked, for a firm doing medical bodily fluids testing large volume? If so, what was your favorite LIMS software? Perferably Open Source so we never get into this closed source jam again?
Ok, I'm going to come right out and say it.
Atheism has no rational basis.
I'm freakin' tired of atheists claiming that the burden of proof is all one sided. I realize logically it is; but unless you have some good reason for reductionism other than "my dog got run over when I was six so I decided God was evil and I'm not even going to look at any scientific theory that might indicate he exists", give it up already. Most atheists are NOT rational thinkers, they accept any theory that fits their worldview without question and while they claim YOU should read all the latest scientific papers and believe nothing you haven't experimented and proved to yourself by reproducible experiment, they never do so themselves.
And their evangelism is so completely not subtle. Even here on slashdot, there is no journal icon for philosophy, theism, religion or God.
I am always for consumer protections. But S510 as originally written would have made your backyard garden illegal, and killed small local and raw foods producers entirely.
The new version, however, contains protections for anybody who has under $500,000 in sales- they don't have to abide by the protections in this bill. And that's how it should be- if you want to take the risk with local, raw foods you should be able to. But huge agribusinesses that sell across state lines shouldn't be able to skimp on production costs.
However, it's now the 11th hour- quite literally. S510 either passes the Senate this week, or will have to start over again with the next Congress. So will you join me in signing this petition from Change.org?
Whether we like the effect or not, ALL taxes have a social engineering aspect. What they tax is discouraged, what they fail to tax is encouraged.
So to the new "compromise" where the Democrats basically gave the Republicans the farm, but only for two years:
Sounds great but I don't think it either attacks the behavior that led to The Great Frustration, nor does it do enough to encourage the behavior that will lead us away from the Great Frustration.
So let's describe the Great Frustration first:
- Republicans deregulated the banks to combine commercial and investment banking.
- Democrats created tax subsidies that encouraged the banks to lend to people who were unable to repay their loans.
-The lack of ability to pay back loans resulted in investors unable to trust the ratings agencies
-inability to trust the ratings agencies led to a slowdown of investment dollars to the banks
-an inability to trust the ratings agencies led to a lockup of credit for small business
- no credit for small business resulted in massive layoffs
- massive unemployment led to dropping demand
- lack of demand has resulted in falling consumer confidence
-which results in even more unemployment and even less investment.
So here's my compromise if the Republican plan doesn't work to get us out of The Great Frustration (we'll know this by total consumer + government debt to GDP ratio of >65%, unemployment >9% in 2012, consumer inflation less than 3%):
IF the above statistics still hold true in 2012, then I propose a complete reform of the Federal Income tax:
1. A new Alternative Minimum Tax of 75% for any individual with an Adjusted Gross Income > $2 million/year
2. A new Capital Gains tax will be imposed on any corporation whose Adjusted Net Profit > 10% of Gross.
3. EVERYBODY gets to lower their gross income for the following activities, verified in the following ways:
a. Creditors will be required to file a 1099LR form with the ratings agencies, the individual payee, and the IRS for any payment recieved by them on any secured or unsecured debt. Gross income for individuals and net profit for corporations will be reduced by this amount outright.
b. W2 payroll "match" taxes will be reduced to zero, and any other money used to pay for payroll (both income and benefits) will be treated as a cost, reducing AGI for individuals and net profit for corporations.
c. IRA contributions will also be considered to reduce AGI for individuals, and pension plans to reduce net profit for corporations, up to 100% of income or profit.
What this does is:
1. reduce debt levels drastically by making debt repayment tax free.
2. encourage employment, and thus, increase demand, which puts us back on an inflationary cycle instead of a deflationary one.
3. provides investment money for small business loans, combined with the government putting other debts than taxes first, to break the lack of investor confidence in such loans.
It is better to never have tried anything than to have tried something and failed. - motto of jerks, weenies and losers everywhere
