my infatuation with open source microcontrollers and their contribution to the H
it is a very simple concept .slavery without brutality. but the implementation thus far is in-elegant . i personally blame the war in the world that has spilled into cyberspace. but wich war? the war for land , money ,religion human- animal rights? all of them result in the end ... in getting screwgalled. by screwgalled i mean they have the gall to show you the same six pages over and over all while building a profile about you for targeted add campains to you and selling your search preferences by ip address on the side. because you more than likely have a static ip adress from your internet provider. but google THRIVES because of proprietary software that keeps track of non-static ip addresses, adresses that NEED to move around or get hacked for standing still. DARPA the pentagon nyse trading houses bank centers stuff like that that is integral infrastructure litteraly cannot sit still. now as an example that is the NEED for closed source. ok the need for open source is people don't want their personal searches sold to health insurers and advertisers..... simple right? not so much because explorer by mucrosoft is STILL by 85 percent more prevalent than other browsers and who reads fine print any more when it SEEMS like the end of your computer if you don't comply? GO OPEN SOURCE. THE MOST EXITING THINGS COMING ARE OPEN SOURCE. ok say you have network attached storage like so many people do. and you also happen to have a wifiy watch computational transeiver . i know it is a big name for a wrist sized i pod nano but lets look at the infrastructure that is built into socket mount i8 chips and more important wifi lan and bluetooth spread spectrum frequency hopping they can support. i am speaking about dongles in watch form. arm mobile will treat it as an unsecure network and the i8 can not be hacked by a single arm core. so basicly a supper puter on your wrist sure to beat the band on those old calculator watches i used to wear to school.
nyc police spy on muslims
yes they did probably still do. it was typical short sighted myopic thinking and the involvement of the cia makes it illegal. how do you prosecute the head of the cia? they have grown to powerful and disregarded the core mandate the were supposed to uphold,that they cannot be used on american soil and should be dissolved.although it is understandable to want info on muslim extremists blundering about at church is not the best way. i really think that this has done more to alienate the moderates than any thing we could have done on purpose. all though it could have been leaked intentionally to provoke a responce from the more violent and see where the biggest opposition comes from. now i am not a religious scholar but as i understand it budism is so non violent that the extremists would rather light them selves on fire than harm their enemies.catholics are supposed to be for turning the other cheek but in war will fight .the catholic extremist for the most part volunteers for missions in third world countries or runs around the neighbourhood ringing doorbells.the jewish extremist for the most part is kosher in their eating and fasting .the menonite extremist is amish and dont like electricity but has no problem building the wooden parts for an electric heater as long as it is done with hand tools.the mormon extremist is apt to have a few to many wives and maybe a few more automatic rifles than is strictly legal .but all of these religions say that is not ok to kill people you dont have to .except the muslim faith can and is interpreted to mean that it is ok to kill even muslim peoples if it will further the faith. i know that this is only an extremist view of the muslim faith . i understand that not all muslim believers want violence but some do .just as there are a very few kkk groups that call themselves churches . they just dont get recognition from mainstream religion. they get infiltrated and investigated by the fbi like they should .no one state has the power or funding to do a better job or make a bigger fiasco than the fbi. people understand the need for the fbi to invetigate a "church" that might be advocating a race war but are irate when the police investigate a church that might advocate a holy war. i think the cia should not have been involved and nyc cops should have been limeted to their own state and that we need to recognize that islamic extremism is a real threat to america and to peacefull life every where and that we need the coperation of mainstream muslims to combat it.
am i the only one that has a love hate relationship with microcontrollers?
like a year ago me and microsoft had a parting of the sheets.i had accidently left it so that the free version of visual basic could install updates and the next thing i knew they were telling me that the computer that i bought not only would not let me into visual studio any more but also needed the verification # on the envelope the disk came in . so i had to regain root control of my own computer. i did it by installing virus laden programs that the net offers for free so they can steal your info so i could burn and read iso windows iso cost money and they would rather expose your computer to id theft than give you a free program,but i used the free programs to install LINUX then deleted everything that was not the new install.now i program in mono and avr dude and arduino ide. i cant believe how many programs i get for free. and i never ever hear my cpu fan kick on wich means that i never heat the cpu i do miss netflix,but there are work arounds if i want them . i dont . now i hear windows 8 is basicly linux wich means that they got tired of writing code for the 99.9% of the viruses that are made that are targeted at windows so now the open source community has to carry the fire wall of a system that will never be as good as linux or as free.any way i kind of got on a tandent i find it easier to dedicate an old 50 $ computer and a cnc board than to try to program a microcontroller to do the the same thing. you cant if you are limited by space but it is so much easier and it does consume more power, but you all so get more power from the steppers.and if it needs to be portable you can modify an UPS ,unfortuneately lap tops dont come standard with parallel ports.the thing that is decisive for me is instead of programming it you can run it as a scheduled task.
football
the whole world calls soccer football but not the us and maybe some others but i dont know wich ones ,but its silly and sloppy . people cant even talk to each other about sports if they are from different counties without the awkward pre conversation about what they are talking about.what to call real football though?
progress
electronic slavery .i personally am divided on the subject ,when you use a robot to do a man or womens job you take that job from them forcing them to find other employment or they get the job of repairing the thing if they are semi indispensable plus their normal duties. however having a cheap robot that is responsibly powered could be just the thing the company needs to be able to afford to hire another employee,wich in turn could force their compatition to do the same and maybe not as responsibly may be automating entirely.so if that is the case then a third company in the same field possibly goes out of business entirely ,their workers forced to find jobs that are menial and low paying for a lot of them.now the owners of the first two companys are making more than ever before allowing them to spend more money ,that goes somewhere.okay that is one scenario here is another now that nearly any one can buy step motors and controllers and such and nearly everybody has a laptop it is getting easier for people to build torch tables and plasma or oxygen hydrogen cutting implements for them.there is even an online free repository of tool paths that would let poorer people build tractors or wind mills or what ever for the cost of steel and the electricity to cut with. ten years ago the cost of a cutting table was 50,000 for a giant high precision one now they are less than 20,000 which is still to high considering their parts list .and then there are reprats 3d printers that let you print another one nearly exept for the electronics and anything else you can think of like plastic anything. i personally think they may release toxins when they melt the plastic , i dont know, but imagine an economy where only the poor buys any thing because the rich have everything they need.new fashion would be in the form of a cad drawing.
