Re: Take Design Seriously

igf1 — Tue, 07 May 2013 11:27:38 -0000

Design encompasses two distinct aspects and I'm not certain which one you're referring to. When you say "call to action" that's copy lingo and that's layout design. The other is user interface design and it has some pretty steadfast rules but it's very much a moving target. GUI design and the paradigm shift it's undergone in the past few years would make a fascinating blog post actually. I mean how the standard was set by Redmond initially, then Cupertino's influence dominated early "web 2.0", now web GUI's have their own rules and user expectations in the ever evolving widget wars.... It's pretty darn interesting IMO.

Re: How Was Jesus’ Death a Sacrifice?

igf1 — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 22:03:06 -0000

DUDE! I said this just the other day! Someone said God sacrificed his ONLY begotten Son (don't even get me started on that...). Yet, his son came *from heaven where he existed for 14 billion years or whenever they think that started, and was *returned there.... he was more like boomerang college kid. Which makes me wonder, if god put our souls into those fertilized eggs, where were before that? I mean is there a factory in Korea that makes souls... hmmm maybe....

The rise of the robotic soldier will render the will of the people obsolete and undermine what remains of Democracy.

There's just something about this that rings true, especially when you work for yourself. It's about productivity not attrition.

"Cyber Behaviour" BWAHAHAHAHAHA that's what they call it???? OMG I can't believe they still use "cyber"! With all the money spent on these things, you'd think they could supply someone with a calender.

Government is too big in all the wrong ways... the incidents outlined here are more specific to corruption than the size of govt. We could eliminate 40% of federal govt. still improve the effectiveness of it's core contingency, while increasing funding the remaining dept. I'm all for smaller govt. if it means less military, prisons, black ops arms swaps with terrorists.... etc, etc (insert human rights violation), hailed by "our leaders" in DC.

Yeah! Now "Perfect Citizen" can keep us all safe from terrorists! Seems like I recall IBM building a revolutionary computing system for another government, back in the late 30s, it did prety much the same thing...

He lost me at #1... That was the reason I've never supported him. The persecution of science is the end game of Theocracy. In which case I suppose, it could be said that Scientific discovery is a threat to national security.

Re: Congress Bans Scientific Collaboration with China, Cites High Espionage Risks | Forbes

igf1 — Tue, 10 May 2011 03:12:19 -0000

Germany stopped publishing it's patent applications online because China, was copying them to the letter, not even bothering to translate from German in many cases, and within minutes the government would approve the patent application, then race to get it registered with the WIPO (world intellectual property organization) before the inventor even had a chance to have it reviewed, then to top it all off, they would extort the inventor.

Chinese "businesses" (it's really just the Chinese government hording patents) can block the sale of the inventors products anywhere in the world through the WIPO, but even if they don't have the WIPO ack, they can essentially do the same thing as China is the gateway to nearly all global commerce, and they have seized foreign competitors products right on the shipping docks, which they claimed violated some copied patent.

People forget, China didn't want intellectual property at all. It seemed so silly to them that someone they've never heard of, in a foreign country has to be paid whatever he wants to let Chinese companies build anything, anywhere in the world. America strong-armed them into the WIPO in the 90's and they've been showing us how stupid that was ever since.

Re: 10 things to do after installing Ubuntu 11.04

igf1 — Wed, 04 May 2011 19:20:34 -0000

Funny, I was dead set against the switch to Unity... Then I tried it and it's so much more responsive. The launcher should be switched with cairo. My sugestion for the 10th step would be to make an image of your fully configured system. I like Ghost for linux : http://sourceforge.net/proj...

but obviously dd or clonezilla and or backintime which is a good solution if you like to tinker :)

Virtual Box is much nicer for workstations. The bedrock format that lets you transfer between VM-Engines is OVF. You can avoid vendor lock and ease the transition between versions with poor backwards compatibility. http://www.vmware.com/appli...

I actually have many friends from Germany. One common thread is their clock work organization. This odd, ability to seek out efficiency and yeah, they're industrial discipline is ingrained in their culture. I would say genes but I know you :-P

Yeah, I remember learning that back when 2 came out. I thought, it was awkward personally. It reminds me of rpm hell back in the day. When you had to install some RPMs in a certain order, otherwise upstream deps would fail without reason. It hurts my memory balls just thinking about it.... sooo... vivid... Anyway, just a heads up, that's exactly what happened to me installing mod proxy. It needs you to install mod_proxy-connect, mod_proxy-http, mod_rewrite ... pi**ed me off Dan...
