New Scientist has an article about black holes being the ultimate quantum computers. I started reading the article and thought, neat! Great!
Then I got to the part where it’s not the computer, but the datastream. That is, the black hole is so super-massive that it’s able to eliminate all possibilities but one, speaking in quantum terms, killing Schrodinger’s cat. Then something deep in the pit of my stomach said this is a BAD idea. It sounds crazy, but I don’t think it’s my logical brain thinking it’s bad - it’s my faith.
Black holes represent nothingness, destruction and collapse. Why would we want to “read” the “data” that comes out of one?

Sometimes, when someone screws something up royally and it pisses you off, it happened for a good reason.
For example, Acxiom screwed up my background check already with this new job. They called my CURRENT employer and started asking questions.
The good side? To make up for the fact that they may have just gotten me fired, they’re going to push through the background check.
God DOES work in mysterious (if not aggravating) ways…

Well, just as I suspected, I don’t get a fair shake, and can’t get a system to actually participate in the offer put forth by Sun a few days ago.
This is ridiculous. They make what appear to be impossible claims (to me), and then say they’re willing to put the server to the test, but only if you “qualify”.
To quote:
We are sorry, but we have been unable to approve your application for the Sun Fire T2000 CoolThreads server in Sun’s Try and Buy program at this time. This is a result of your application not meeting one or more of the parameters for Sun Fire T2000 CoolThreads Try and Buy Program.
Since he’s closed comments on all his posts, he’ll likely never see my complaint, and my point - I’ll probably NEVER recommend Solaris or Sun hardware again. What does Sun think we are? Donkeys with carrots on a stick?
Heck, I’m all for a revival of the OLD meaning of OSF - Oppose Sun Forever. Hell, I should have stuck with it.

Sometimes Google scares me:
What is Google’s Lighthouse? by ZDNet’s Richard MacManus — The Google Analyst Day earlier this week threw up a conspiracy theory of sorts, Is it a security function, or a next-generation search for desktop files? Or… with Google initially providing a powerpoint file of the presentation that had extensive notes about upcoming products named as: GDrive, GDS and Lighthouse. Greg Linden was one [...]

Information
Unhappiness in relationships, according to Dr. Gary Chapman, is often due to the fact that we speak different love languages. Sometimes we don’t understand our partner’s requirements, or even our own. We all have a “love tank” that needs to be filled in order for us to express love to others, but there are different means by which our tank can be filled, and there are different ways that we can express love to others.
