Dear President Obama,
Congratulations President Obama! You have been in our President for one year.  What a hell of a year! For the most part you have been steadfast in trying to do what you said you would do. But it looks as if you need some pointers on Health Care Reform. I haven’t read your plan. …

Until now, only password surveys have been analyzed, and I knew the results would be almost useless when compared to a real dataset of passwords because who in their right mind would donate one of their own passwords, or anything like it, to a survey about password statistics?

ATI eyefinity video cards support up to six displays and multiple cards can be used together in a single machine for a single virtual display. AMD says they’ll be able to chain together enough of their eyefinity cards to create a resolution that approaches eye-definition optical clarity at 12x 1080p.

Rpmbuild’s RPATH feature is used to search libraries outside of standard paths. They are given to the linker at buildtime. If the developers of the code you’re trying to turn into an RPM did not take any of these considerations into account when they write their programs then you may be forced to skip check-rpath.

Self tracking, or “personal informatics”, is a growing trend of keeping a log of data surrounding the events in your life, and the avenues are expansive. From monitoring weight, heart rate, and blood pressure, to geo-tracking using GPS receivers, to genome profiling and Internet meetup groups, there are a wide variety of people and interests involved in this new fad. I have a hard enough time tracking my fitness routine at the gym, so anything that takes the manual labor out of tracking my statistics is a plus to me.

Care package runners are still too fast, and by care package I really mean any of those package grenades that allow you to run as if you’re speed hacking. Model 1887’s still have too much range, although they did make somewhat of an improvement. I still feel cheap using them, so i’ll continue to skip them in favor of the previous shotgun. But the big problem I have is with the various texture and XP hacks. I think their fixes lasted on the order of minutes or hours rather than days.

Choose from white noise, pink noise, or brown noise and adjust the volume to your liking. At first I thought this is crap, but it actually blocks out the noisy fan from my laptop and the hum of the next door neighbors air conditioning unit even at a low volume level.

Maybe i’m one of those minorities, but just last year’s Surrogates movie showed the darker side of avatars. Think of the expectations you face when avatars integrate into your working life. Avatars interacting between two coworkers is one thing, but between the HR department or other organizations is another. Now I’ll have to worry about being mistreated or discriminated against if I don’t choose the proper look.

They’re called the Tarahumara, but they call themselves Raramuri. They don’t get diseases like diabetes, colon cancer, or heart disease. Oh and they can run forever chasing prey and they party like rock stars. Their supernatural invulnerability isn’t just limited to their bodies; the Tarahumara have mastered the secret of happiness as well, living as benignly as bodhisattvas in a world free of theft, murder, suicide, and cruelty.
