Opinions: about the creation museum of the Answers in Genesis religious group

I am sorry to see the power religion has over people. I am sorry to see that organized churches influence people so much so, that they would reject scientific theories and proven facts over unproven claims and mythical tales! I am sorry to see people blinded by religious freaks! I am sorry to see that religion wants to return us to the Middle Ages when even the mention of true science was condemned as magic, and people burned in the stake for their beliefs in science, like Giordano Bruno. And people getting tortured for believing that the Earth rotates (Galileo Galilei). Is this where religion wants to bring the world to? And how many people suffer because of religious beliefs all over the world? How many people are prisoners of their religious beliefs? How many more wars will be fought under the pretenses of God and country?


I REJECT RELIGION.

Zlad - Supersonik Elektronic



This is a really funny and wacky music video I have found.

And the lyrics to the song are:

Hey baby wake up from your a sleep
We have arrived onto the future
And the whole world is become....

Elektronik, Supersonik,
Supersonik, Elektronik,

Hey baby ride with me away,
We doesn't have much time,
My blue jeans is tight,
So onto my love rocket, climb,
Inside tank of fuel is not fuel, but love,
Above us, there is nothing above,
but the stars, above

All systems gone!
Prepare for downcount!

5....4....3....1! Off blast!


Fly away, my space rocket,
You no need put money in my pocket
The door is closed I just lock it,
(Ha) I put my (Ha) port plug in your socket (Ha Ha Ha)

The sonic sky is bright like fire
You and me gets higher and higher
Cut communication wire
Only thing can stop us is flat tire

Ha, Ha, Ha Ha Ha Ha

Hey love crusaider
I want to be your space invader
For you I will decend the deepest moon crater
I is more stronger than Darth Vapour
Obey me I is your new dictator
For you is Venus, I am Mars
With you I is more richer than all the tzars
Make a wishes on a shooting stars
Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars!

Ladies and Gentlemen
Fasten your beltseats
We has commenced our decent
I trust you enjoy this flight
As much as you enjoy this accent

Now back on Earth its time for downsplash
Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash
People have arrived for cheer me from near and far
And as I float I open door and shout
"I am worlds biggest, washed-up superstar!"

(Supersonik, Elektronik)

As for sure as the sun rises in the west
Of all the seas and all the boats I am the bestest
come, let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger
Then like a smell around you I will forever linger
Ok, is time for end, no more will I sang
Let me take you back in time,
I want for you to experience big bang

Long live space race
Long live, Molvania

Stars

Look at the stars...
So beautiful, so far away.
You can look at them,
but you can't touch them...
They're like our dreams...

The above poem was written a very long time ago, around the end of the 80s. It was a very bad time for me personally, so the poem reflects my depressive mood of the time.

Light and Shadow

All there is: light and shadow
And there between them
there you stand
with your miserable life
trying to find something
And you run, your life is running.

The above poem was written a very long time ago, around the end of the 80s. It was a very bad time for me personally, so the poem reflects my depressive mood of the time.

Why

Why have I to be alone
Why can't they understand
Why should I listen to them

I'm standing on my own
but I have to subscribe
I don't want to, but they say I have to

Why should I listen to them
Why should I do what they do
Why can't I live like I want

I'm always on my own
and music is loud
but they don't like it

Why do you want to hurt me
Why life is a nightmare
Why are you so cruel

Everyone stands on his own
Few can be friends
Few want to help

The above poem was written a very long time ago, around the end of the 80s. It was a very bad time for me personally, so the poem reflects my depressive mood of the time.

Dreams

When I'm alone
I like to dream
Music is loud
Everyone dreams
And everyone says
"Don't dream,
Dreams are for children."
Are they really?

The above poem was written a very long time ago, around the end of the 80s. It was a very bad time for me personally, so the poem reflects my depressive mood of the time.

Darkness


In the dark, a light
In the dark, a small light
Making me hope:
"No more eternal darkness"
Darkness surrounds me
and the light is the one that makes me go on
I try to reach it
I try to follow it
When I'm almost there,
When I'm near the light
It moves away
And my hopes vanish
In the eternal darkness...

The above poem was written a very long time ago, around the end of the 80s. It was a very bad time for me personally, so the poem reflects my depressive mood of the time.

Japanese Sign

The following photograph was taken in Japan, at a wharf on the Lake Ashi, on the feet of Mount Fuji. I was with my tourist group, and we were waiting to take the boat for a small cruise on the Lake. The date the photograph was taken is August 15, 2006.

Vampire


In the night
I awake
The moon is my sun
The sun my death
Blood my life

By day
In deep slumber I lay
By night
Innocent blood I take

A stake in my heart
My deepest fear
Immortality
My ecstasy

Mortal days
In my past
Endless nights
Await me


This poem was written on Friday, 17 January 2003

Crunching Numbers...

In 1999, a Distributed Computing Project, SETI@Home opened and let computers and people from all over the world try to help in the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence. The project became a huge success with a lot of people, even those who have little experience with computers.

The main idea behind this project was the fact that there are billions of computers connected or with connection capabilities to the internet, which can be used to process data for projects such as SETI. Most computers remain idle and are not used for long periods of time, so their processing capabilities at such times can be used. This gives the projects huge amounts of processing power.

The SETI@Home project was a huge success and people volunteered that unused processing power to help the project. Seeing the success of SETI, more projects have come online and nowadays through the use of a Distributed Computing Client more than one projects can be run at the same time.

The Distributed Computing Client is called BOINC and can be found here: http://boinc.berkeley.edu, along with information on said client, information on available projects and more.

Before I continue talking about Distributed Computing and projects, I will take a moment to explain some of the terms used by the people who donate their PC's processing power to such projects. First of all, WU or WorkUnit is the chunk of data that a computer downloads and processes. Crunching Numbers refers to the processing of such data, since all the computer does is actually process numbers, and providinbg a result for each WorkUnit.

Continuing our discussion, the Distributed Computer Projects have been so successful, that even from the very start people started having contests and competitions as to who would crunch the most data, who would process that number of WUs first, etc. As a result, people started also forming teams and informal contests and competitions started arising between the various teams, but also between members of the same team. There is no prize to whomever wins and there are really no losers in these unofficial games. The winners are always the projects!

You will notice that on right hand side of the blog, I have put the statistics for my projects, and those for my team. This is a way of me saying that it doesn't matter whether you can crunch 10 WUs per day or just one every week, what matters is that you help in those projects that you are interested in. I also am proud of the work that I am doing in that department and the work my team puts in.

The statistics for users and teams of such projects can be found at the BOINC Statistics site.

My team is called "The Knights Who Say Ni!" and I chose the team because everyone is a serious lunatic and madman or madwoman. If you are interested in any distributed computing projects and are a bit (or more) of a looney (bin or not) then come and look at The Knights Who Say Ni!
