After getting into Object Oriented Programming, I thought my head would explode from all the N-Possibilities I could do.
However, after getting into Pointers, References and Advanced Functions; my head has gone Supernova with all the N-Fractalizations in both the Micro and Macro directions.
And there's still more to read... ...I guess the next level is Big Bang.
Google has to be the worst internet investment in recent years. The search is nothing but an over sold, over valued, advertisement riddled, porn link junk yard. I get better information from Wikipedia without all that garbage. Wikipedia is information packed-to-the-max with no try to sell me trinkets of crap ads or sexual harassment linkage.
Mother is trying her darnedest to cope with the disease that now infests.
With her last ounce of strength she tries to cool the fever, but it's wearing her down.
This is one relentless disease and soon the fever will worsen beyond her control.
One of the most deadly of all diseases, Humanus-Arrogans-Greediffourus-Declarewaron-Opprotunisticate-Backstabacus-Proffiteerodite Syndrome.
As a form of silent protest, I'll be spending less this Summer in lieu of the forth coming $4.00+ Gas prices.
I've already slowed my spending and I think everyone else should, too.
Rebalance from the wants to the needs.
Massive Ice Chunk Collapses in Antarctica

WASHINGTON (March 25) - A chunk of Antarctic ice about seven times the size of Manhattan suddenly collapsed, putting an even greater portion of glacial ice at risk, scientists said Tuesday.
A huge portion of Antarctic ice -- said to be about seven times the size of Manhattan -- can been seen breaking off from an even larger portion of glacial ice Tuesday. Scientists said the chunk broke off from the Wilkins Ice Shelf in western Antarctica, and had been there for anywhere between hundreds to 1,500 years.
Satellite images show the runaway disintegration of a 160-square-mile chunk in western Antarctica, which started Feb. 28. It was the edge of the Wilkins ice shelf and has been there for hundreds, maybe 1,500 years.
This is the result of global warming, said British Antarctic Survey scientist David Vaughan.
Because scientists noticed satellite images within hours, they diverted satellite cameras and even flew an airplane over the ongoing collapse for rare pictures and video.
"It's an event we don't get to see very often," said Ted Scambos, lead scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Center in Boulder, Colo. "The cracks fill with water and slice off and topple... That gets to be a runaway situation."
While icebergs naturally break away from the mainland, collapses like this are unusual but are happening more frequently in recent decades, Vaughan said. The collapse is similar to what happens to hardened glass when it is smashed with a hammer, he said.
The rest of the Wilkins ice shelf, which is about the size of Connecticut, is holding on by a narrow beam of thin ice. Scientists worry that it too may collapse. Larger, more dramatic ice collapses occurred in 2002 and 1995.
Vaughan had predicted the Wilkins shelf would collapse about 15 years from now. The part that recently gave way makes up about 4 percent of the overall shelf, but it's an important part that can trigger further collapse.
There's still a chance the rest of the ice shelf will survive until next year because this is the end of the Antarctic summer and colder weather is setting in, Vaughan said.
Scientists said they are not concerned about a rise in sea level from the latest event, but say it's a sign of worsening global warming.
Such occurrences are "more indicative of a tipping point or trigger in the climate system," said Sarah Das, a scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.
"These are things that are not re-forming," Das said. "So once they're gone, they're gone."
Climate in Antarctica is complicated and more isolated from the rest of the world.
Much of the continent is not warming and some parts are even cooling, Vaughan said. However, the western peninsula, which includes the Wilkins ice shelf, juts out into the ocean and is warming. This is the part of the continent where scientists are most concern about ice-melt triggering sea level rise.

You have to have the Auto Posting software running in order to Auto Post, idiot.
Never close the Auto Posting software for any reason except software upgrades.
In order to initiate a full and true economic recovery, the equation must be balanced.
So far, the equation has been over weighted on the supply side, now the demand side needs it’s fair share.
Those of you who understand need to act now.
I may have played the lottery in a few of these states, if they had them available at the time.
I've traveled either by car or plane.

The DJIA must gain at least 4000.00 by 2008-05-15 to just begin reviving the economy.
I've been looking over some books on AI Programming and Networking for gaming.
There are a lot of similarities between that and combinatorial/permutational selections.
Forget Quick Picking or even Self Picking, BOT Picking may be the way.
Several different BOTs with different programmed abilities, all versed in the art of Lottery Number Selection.
Vast varieties of systems and methods, from the scientific to the superstitious; methodology to mythology.
Yeah!
Working out in the N-dimension beyond human perception.
Wow!
I can see this on a massive scale, on many computers, overwhelming every government lottery computer picking number system.
Oh, Man!
A Macrocosm of Networked BOTs all working endlessly.
it's do or die the next 9 weeks.
either the corporate sponsored U.S. government is going to really do something about the U.S. pathetically weak economic power or they are going to keep doing what they've been doing and that power will die.
Rate cuts by the feds are becoming more and more ineffective at such a low rate value.
A 0.5% rate cut at a 5.0% rate value is not as effective as a 0.5% rate cut at 15.0% rate value.
That ol' Rate Cut, she ain't what she use to be...ain't what she use to be...ain't what she use to be.
From the looks of things, the feds should have pumped that $200 billion into the Powerball; it would have done a better job boosting the economy.
My last look at the DJIA waves shows the long term waves of months to years still heading in to the trough for about 18+ weeks. Mid term waves of weeks to months could affect the overall outlook. Short term waves of days to weeks seem over stimulated. Could be the result of all the herky-jerky news reports. Any time someone looks certain way or sneezes there's reports, "It's up! It's down! It's up! No it's down again!" Shut up! Will ya? Let the market do it's thing. Ride the waves, buddy. Everything will be alright.
