It's only during times like these when you see who your true friends really are. Thank you John, Linda, Rob, Chris, Mike, Lou, Mike, Zach, Brian, Christina, and Matt for being there and supporting me this last week. It means a lot. This would all be infinitely harder without everyone around me. I sincerely want to rekindle these old friendships, and I'm going to make a conscious effort to do so.
peace.
May the force be with you. |

ps3 was just unveiled this week at E3. if the graphics that were shown were not pre-rendered, we're in for a quantum leap in game graphics. the specs on the ps3 make me believe more and more that what was shown was real time in-game footage.
this was taken from the techTV website.
Official PlayStation 3 Specifications:
System Floating Point Performance:
2 Teraflops
CPU: Cell Processor PowerPC-base Core @3.2GHz
512KB L2 cache
7 x 256KB SRAM for SPE
Graphics Processing Unit RSX @ 550MHz
1.8 TFLOPS floating point Performance
Full HD (up to 1080p) x 2 Channels
Sound Dolby 5.1, DTS, LPCM.
Memory
256MB XDR Main RAM @3.2GHz
256MB GDDR3 VRAM @700MHz
RSX 20GB/s (writing) + 15GB/s (reading)
SB2.5GB/s (writing) + 2.5GB/s (reading)
System Bandwidth Main RAM 25.6GB/s
VRAM 22.4GB/s
one important thing to notice here is the raw computing power of the ps2 vs the ps3
the ps2's CPU had a floating point performance of around 6.2 gigaflops. 6.2 billion floating point operations per second.
the ps3's CPU has a floating point performance of around 218 gigaflops.
that's 6.2 billion vs 218 billion floating point calculations per second.
add to that ps3's GPU with around 1.8 teraflops of computing power and the total system performance gets up to around 2 teraflops, 2 trillion floating point operations per second.
these specs can of course change but who knows. if this stuff is all totally true, it's is going to be truly unbelievable. imagine games that look as good as pre-rendered cgi clips. i can't fucking wait!
release date: spring 2006
supposedly in-game shots of the game Killzone 2
must see in game footage of Killzone 2 from E3.
hey, u never know... |

It's annoying how many people blindly hate Bush, and how few really know what the hell they're talking about.
I'm definitely not his biggest fan, but c'mon, you're being totally ignorant if you think the country is over just b/c he won. Get a god damn grip people. He's not THAT bad. Don't be too sickened that he won. Don't let this ruin your day. Suggesting moving to another country is a totally moronic thing to suggest. Stop being brainwashed by college hippies. Just SHUT UP. He is our president now, deal with it. |

Rear Admiral Gene R. LaRocque, United States Navy (retired), suggests that a nuclear war may be started by mechanical mishaps and electronic and personnel errors:
. . . one of our strategic submarines, the George Washington, ran right into a Japanese ship just a few months ago and sank it! That's one of our best missile submarines! . . . We've lost two of our nuclear attack submarines that sank in the ocean and we don't know why to this day ? the Scorpion and the Thresher. And earlier this year one of our missiles was accidentally fired from Arkansas because a mechanic dropped a wrench . . . .
We've had several incidents where nuclear weapons have literally fallen out of airplanes, literally just fallen through the bomb bays. Probably the most interesting one is the one that fell out of a strategic bomber in the Carolinas some years ago . . . . landed in Carolina in a swamp, and they looked all over for that nuclear weapon. We haven't found it yet . . . .*
(*The Defense Department bought the land, put a fence around it, and now it's a nuclear safety area! From a talk given on October 31, 1981 at a Los Angeles symposium organized by Physicians for Social Responsibility and the Council for a Livable World.)
Daniel Ellsberg, who was an assistant to former Secretary of Defense McNamara, reminds us of an accident in 1961 when an Air Force plane carrying a 24-megaton bomb crashed in North Carolina.
On crash impact five of the six interlocking safety mechanisms on the bomb failed!
Only one switch kept the bomb from unleashing the equivalent of 1,000 Nagasaki-type explosions!* |

Jock #1: Hey, Napoleon. What did you do last summer again?
Napoleon Dynamite: I told you! I spent it with my uncle in Alaska hunting wolverines!
Jock #2: What kind of gun did you use?
Napoleon Dynamite: A freakin' twelve gauge, what do you think? |

"Two guys are driving down the street in one of em's truck. They pass two dogs screwing on someone's front lawn.
One guy says "man, that really is the best way to make love".
The second guy says "I dunno man, my wife is really conservative when it comes to those sorts of things."
The first guy says "Just fix her a martini or two, she'll get into it".
The next day they see each other:
The first guy says "How did it go?"
The second guy said "It went pretty well, but it took seven martinis."
"Seven Martinis!?!" the first guy asks.
"Yeah, after two she was feeling frisky alright, but it took five more to get her out on that guy's lawn." " |

| all I want to know, is what exactly is the evolutionary purpose for this? |
|
|
| 02:12am 09/08/2004 |

the human subconscious
forever mistaken for God
evolved psychological phenomena holding deep evolutionary value
increasingly convinced there is no God
at least no God in the 'traditional' sense
nothing 'divine' entity at work outside of yourself
mystical experiences truly being no more than the result of a vivid, lucid dream-type mind state
look in for the answers, not out
tap into the reality held within your mind
meditate
contact your higher self; subconscious; God
any titles you give it will do
it is of no importance arguing the reality or fantasy of God; whom is the 'prime mover' of the universe
break through and take from the experience what you can
when it comes to explaining mystical experiences, believe what you will
all that really matters is the end result
learn from mystics of the past
experiences they share are most likely; most logically; the same experiences which are responsible for the Bible, the Koran, and any other religious writings written throughout all of human history
turn on your pineal
meet your 'self' for the first time |
