what is it that apple, seem to change the mini external display connectors on their computers all the damn time, more often than their damn shirts.

par example, here is a list of the different adapters they sell on the apple site that relate to the dvi standard.

this means your laptop could have one of these :

full size DV connector if your lucky g4 powerbooks and allot of early intel macbook pro laptops.
or possibly pointlessly confusing tiny size dvi standards like the following :

mini dvi
micro dvi
mini display port

and none of the above connectors will come with your machine as standard, and you are only likely to have full size dvi cables kicking around spare in your office, so basically apple is charging you a £20.00 tax to use that port after purchase, this kind of skinflintishness, when they are charging such a premium of say at least £400.00 over the cost of an equal spec pc laptop, is precisely the reason why a company like apple sits ontop a billion dollar cashpile/warchest. its at the loss of your hair and the increase of stress the user has in resolving such issues.

why they couldn’t have stuck with the first mini type of these connector types we will never know.

Have you ever noticed the direct corrolation between the length of pre-sales indoctrination slideshows and the evil extent of people trying to make money.

It seems to me in america today, that theyre are all trying to sell each other into misery, if the information contained in the downloadable pdf’s that aim to cure teeth whiteness and being overweight etc, were truly so revolutionary and astounding then why not give it away for free to the world ? These people who try to make money out of electronically distributable pdf’s, which in their imagination can cure the world of obesity are the kind of monetarist asshole’s, that only america seems to breed.

Why do I say this, I say this because on the internet it does not cost to distribute usefull information, this fat burning pdf, if it did contain usefull information, could be easily and freely distributed from the many places and methods on the internet for distributing information freely.

Signs this is a scam :

1: the person concerned has bought up all domains related to the negative presentation of their product and placed artificial positive reviews on domains such as :
fatburningfurnacescam.com WeightLoss-Shocker.co.uk/FatBurner fatburningfurnacesreview.net

this technique would not be necesary if he trusted his own program.

2: the double triple bonus package bullshit used to justify the cost of information that could ultimately be distributed freely, this guys ultimate objective is to become richer. In the US everyone see’s personal wealth as and ultimate ideal, worthy to exemplify to others, and then they wonder why theyre society is so ill at ease, corrupt, vain and violent, allot of the world sees this as ditestable.

3: The endless marketing presentation at the begining, the lack of brevity at this point is a direct indicator, that propaganda is being espoused in order to line you up, get money from you, before giving you fundmentally what is information that could be freely distributable.

Basically if you want to lose weight you will have two do two things.

Change your diet and excercise.

or better, lead a more active lifestyle, there is no shortcut !

And im sure this guy’s book is just some variation on these two things.

Also maybe he has worked to put some usefull information into his book, aggregated from various free sources, and put it together into a plan, no Doubt. But if he gave one real shit about the obese he would give this information away for free, and consider it the one decent contribution he might make to culture in his life, but no what he gives a shit about, is the improvement in his own situation, that is his prime objective, measured by the way has decided to release this so called product. Information is not a product, And it is the pricing of this information that in a way means there is some deception here.

Current Nearest possibly habitable planet other than in our solar system.

A: 20.3 light years away

current fastest record for spacecraft velocity :

A: 150,000 mph

the speed of light : roughly 186,000 miles per second

to get our fastest spacecraft speed into the same units of seconds, as the speed of light : (150,000mph ÷ 60) ÷ 60) =

A: 41.6 miles per second is the fastest an unmanned human spacecraft has ever travelled.

Dividing the speed of light in miles per second by our fastest speed in miles per second

186,000 mps ÷ 41.6 mps = we currently are able to travel in space 4471.15 times slower than the speed of light.

so how long would it take to travel one way to a star 20.3 light years away ?

4471.15 × 20.3 light years = 90,764.345 years to reach a solar system only 20.3 light years away at a speed of 150,000 mph ?

ok lets enhance that situation by saying theyre ight be a habitable planet in nearby alpha centauri 4.3 light years away were still talking.

4471.15 × 4.3 = 19,225.945 years of travel

to make this alpha visiting journey even a 100 year project would involve travelling at a velocity of 7998 miles per second which with accelerating and breaking slowly would no doubt involve going at some speeds faster than that at some point.

basically at a speed of 28,792,000 mph, anyone fancy manouevering at that speed ?
being that speed of light per annum is 6,69,600,000 mph.

dhl missing parcels google search

dhl failed to deliver, or drop a card saying they had attmepted to deliver a parcel, yet also claimed they had delivered the parcel to my address, whichever way a new parcel is now being sent. there is obviously some corruption going on at dhl that they are not dealing with sufficiently.

Why is it done, is it not strange to know, the masses are still educated / indoctrinated today, to know in detail, more of one distorted feudally privileged bastard lineage, than even their own family lines.

The inquisitions activity in general was an intellectually and morally bankrupt pissing argument / pub quiz, sinfully commited against the often uneducated masses, by those whose highly limited literacy and knowledge stemmed singularly from an obsession with the corrupted and over-interpretation of one poorly written book. And the underlying purpose of this false dialectic was really to preserve enhance and sustain the absolute dominance and power that the elitist egotistical church held over the general population for their own advantage, Between the jaws of the feudal crown and church power the people had nowhere to escape, and were ground to a disposessed and malliable mass.

Until as the character ‘Joan D’Arc’ portrays, the people fought to create a third way, the idea of state and country, which would eventually learn to moderate the actions of those two jaws upon the people, who in exchange as a whole, agreed to belong to the new propoganda concept of the country. Whether the people really chose this concept of country rather than allegiance to lord or tribe. Perhaps the concept of state with king at its top, was really introduced to the people, by say a poor feudal headmen / king wishing to attain more power, and now disposess the now unruly and mainly self serving knights and network of distributed power, he had originally setup and sustained in the first place, is a different matter.

An extension from my previous elevenses post, I guess you can see where my train of thought then headed ?

Although all these naming conventions for mealtimes exist, most have fallen into disuse or misuse, it is quite likely in the UK today for people to eat at times which are most convenient to them, and three meals a day and consistent meal times are no longer really the norm. These mealtimes and conventions were invented when households and familys were more stabily structured than they are today in the uk.

Breakfast : everyone agrees on the timing of this meal, the first meal of the day, which Breaks the Fasting of the sleep period during the night (except if one skips breakfast, and partakes of brunch that is the first meal of the day)

Elevenses or Elevensies : A light meal with tea struck middway between breakfast and the midday meal, therefore in a regularised household routine directly at 11.00am, rarely if ever would anything warm be cooked for elevenses, often served with tea similar to ‘afternoon tea’, as later described. Some may attemptively misdescribe this event as ‘tea’, ‘going for a tea’ or taking a ‘tea break’ all of which, may in no way be classified as ‘Elevenses’. ‘Elevenses’ might rarely even be taken in a garden, though nowhere nearly as much as ‘Afternoon Tea’ which would frequently be taken in a garden in the summer, Elevenses will most often consist of cold light snacks sandwiches etc, combined with tea, but does not contain generally the full sweet edge in its fancy’s foods, that ‘afternoon tea’ is so typified by. Also though very often guests maybe invited to ‘Afternoon tea’, elevenses would generally be taken by those resident in the household at the time, and rarely if ever would one invite guests to elevenses, often this would not include the working men of the household.
(though a mid morning tea break in an office may well be the pale ghost orphan of ‘elevenses’)

Elevenses should be precisely at 11.00am, hence its name, a light repast struck midway betwixt breakfast and luncheon, the regularity of timings in the households that invented such customs, you could set your watch by, it is not . . . a term . . . which can refer to any miscellaneous snacking that occurs beyond the three understood standard mealtimes, as some misperceive today (not that these standard mealtimes by myself or most people are even well observed today). I once in my youth visited a household that really had elevenses, and they were pretty religious about it, the dependable nature of customs and routines such as elevenses, were im sure to those who observed them, were a genuine comfort and security. But it was also the same household where you saw you father once a term, to explain your school report, and a caining could ensue if it wasnt up to scratch, swings and roundabouts you gain one thing and lose another. Sadly afternoon tea was lost soon after elevenses. Some gentle customs, were in the way of the pace at which so called progress seemed to run.
