Make it astrobiology.


Back to the question of accountability.

Is Seti@home worth anything?

Is it supposed to be ruled (or governed) by idiots and run by people not even able to spell their words.

Astronomy is all about science. The same goes or should be said when it comes to astrobiology, but do we stil happen to be knocked down to the ground by the silly fool possibly being around?

People are human...we all make spelling errors. I don't think insults are necessary

Well we all know about Knut, personally I believe most of the posts from many of his aliases are just from a pre-programmed "forum bot".

i.e. a computer or computers that tries to make intelligent posts using the other post from here and other threads.

So if he insults the whole SETI at home team well it's just one of his bots.

What's the use, one might wonder. Why not just being yourself mp? No one here is going to judge you for it, I'm sure.

Whoops!

You never know when it happens.

But you certainly know that I am doing a couple of factorizations here using an application with the name of Yafu.

I have been doing this for quite a while and right now the efforts behind this work may seem to be yielding a couple of interesting results.

Some of the numbers that may be around (except for RSA-1024 and RSA-2048) may now appear to be breaking more or less into their individual parts.

The point is that you may be having a 150-200 digit number which is being listed or known to be composite only.

Because of that, you may have no knowledge about the complexity or time needed in order to be able to factorize such a number.

You should also know that this subject is a very important one and therefore should be dealt with in a serious way. Numbers should not be the same as encrypted information, because this too soon becomes garbled mess only which may not be interpreted by anyone. As I was able to read a short while ago, Alice needs to have Bob's secret key (and vice versa) in order for both parts to be able to read each other's messages.

This is the main reason that a number starting with 1350... as well as a number starting with 2519... are public keys and the prime factors representing these two numbers are supposed to be Alice and Bob's private keys. Because only they are having these keys, noone else are able to intercept or decrypt their private messages.

Hopefully this should be a good explanation when it comes to these facts.

The problem is that some of these numbers are being used for the purpose of both security as well as possible economic gains. You may never be able to precisely know where the difference between "certain value" and "practical applicability" goes. I happen to say Whoops! above, because I forgot about one of my tasks or jobs running and it came out with a great result after hours of computing.

If you happen to be interested, I may post this one here. Probably not of any specific value otherwise.

Apparently also one more Seti@home task which ran off as well this evening.

Keeping a tab on this as well.

There are times where BOINC Manager does not get well with the rest of the stuff I am doing.

If you are having the evening off with a beer or two.

I happened to pick up my binoculars while outside a couple of nights ago.

I happened to stumble across the open cluster M35 on in Gemini, near the border with Auriga. This cluster may not be compared to the Pleiades or the Hyades when it comes to brightness, but it is quite well visible when using a pair of binoculars.

There is also a much more distant open cluster NGC2158 in the same field.

This cluster is not that far from being a globular cluster when it comes to density or appearance, but unlike M35, this cluster is not visible in binoculars. With my 2.4 inch telescope it was quite well visible when watching M35, but the fainter stars of this cluster definitely needs a quite large reflecting telescope in order to be seen.

Regardless, why not use sky-map.org (or Starry Night Pro) for a tour of this region? It is definitely a splendid area of the celestial sky.

One down the towel and one more to go.

Anyway, came across this little problem today.

I bought a pack of bacon (from pig). This pack was in a plastic holder which needs to be cut open by a scissor in order to get to its contents.

But this was not the sooted (or what do you call it) variant. It came in small, square pieces which were lightish, almost pink when it comes to the color.

So, because it came to me that eating such food possibly raw could be not a wise thing to do, I put it on the frier and gave it a warm-up.

Possibly slightly more in the package, I will have the rest of it tomorrow.

But it also came to me that Jewish people are not eating food from pig.

Sadly, this became almost my experience as well. This one did not get well when it came to taste and its color did not change while frying it in the pan.

Definitely the sooted variant should go better with most people. This should have been stated on the label and the next time I go to the shop, I will be asking about this little problem there.

Also I will have fried potato chips from my oven the next time as well.

Yet another day.

Should perhaps say pork instead.

Also was reminded about fish which is being hung up in order for it to dry.

Apparently the same principle being used for this, but definitely smoke is not in the air.

Also became a missing "l" earlier.

At least I try to make it correct when posting here.

More relevant stuff a little later on when I have read through the threads.

Edit: Noticing that I lost my factorization tasks right now.

Needs a complete restart of things.

Perhaps here in the meantime

http://factordb.com/index.php?id=1100000000775490489

I will keep a couple of things hidden until a complete answer or solution is being found. This may be closing in now.

Same again today.

Checked in with my tasks when I started up, because I got a blank line in the SMV.

You should know that I have caught a quite serious cold today.

What a suitable or appropriate moment for such a thing to happen. Right now we are 10 days from May 1 and the start of a new summer.

So for dinner I tried yet another variant. From an advertisement I bought a pack of meat from probably bull or calf.

Here the dictionary, which is a quite large one, is again slightly vague or diffuse when it comes the translation. Also there is sometimes a difference between US English and the Oxford British language when it comes to writing and pronunciation.

The meat in the package came in a striped, ribboned or shred vanriant. I put in in the pan and fried it. In contrast to the pork meat, because of the butter which was added, this meat turned darker in color in a minute or two and although I may have given it slightly more time to fry, the pan as well as oven became quite hot.

Possibly the eating dish was not completely clean, but I added a mixture of rice, butter and water from my microwave oven. In the end it became a quite nice and tasteful meal and should be recommended. It takes only 15 minutes.

Also, the third of my three Seventeen or Bust tasks running at PrimeGrid is finishing up right now. More than 410 minutes and 30 minutes on the CPU for this task.

In fact it finished up right now. This number is not prime.

Starting up here this evening with a power outage lasting about 30 seconds.

You know, big crunchers, powerful graphics cards and so on.

I am reading about this discussion as well.

It is so nice to have it all together inside a computer.

To me one of the problems which is remaining is that about ventilation and temperature regulation.

The computer I am using is having three fans built into the system box. One on the left side at the front, one at the rear and one, not to well visible, located in the soldered plate separating the motherboard and the power supply at the bottom.

With the big Noctua NH-DH14 fan installed above the processor, but not in direct contact, because there fortunately was no need for cooling paste here and also because there is no water cooling as well, I still have to wait a couple of minutes each time I boot up the system because the fan is not running at the proper speed.

Also, two 8 GB memory modules (16 GB in total) are being crammed on each side of the fan. There are a total of eight memory slots or sockets on the motherboard, four on each side of the fan.

I do have two airflows lying around which are having three fans inside each airflow, but these can not be used, since the memory modules are on each side of the Noctua fan. With the left side cover off, all the air in the room gets directly to the motherboard and if the room gets to hot, this may affect the temperature of the motherboard as well as the CPU.

Maybe things would be working better with the cover put back on again. I will perhaps do this in the upcoming week, because the room once again needs a cleanup.

So, if you are having a big computer, do not forget about the temperature and fans which may be needed in order for proper running of things.

03:40 AM in the morning right now.

I will sit it out another hour or two.

When I wake up tomorrow morning I will know that once again I had an experience while sleeping.

In my dreams, in fact. Dreams are not supposed to be the reality thing, only imagination of sorts.

But patterns, as well as imagination and thoughts are supposed to be both endless and at least be appearing in an almost infinite number of variations and combinations.

You do not always see these things in the usual dull day, but you may happen to know that they are still there.

This goes with numbers as well. The way numbers may be put together is very large and sometimes there may seem that even rather ordinary problems are not having simple answers.

I do a couple of things when it comes to the factorization of numbers. Right now I came across a number having some 97 digits as well as a number having 110 digits.

Simple you likely would say. I would say no.

It depends on the number or numbers being in question. Working on this right now, I probably will get at it in the end.

Night.

And by means of accessing YouTube by means of a new tab using Google Chrome, I am offered yet another choice of selections when it comes to videos.

Not even necessary to use the word "menu" here.

You know, experience is something you are supposed to be having. Also experience is something which may happen to come across you.

You may be able to draw certain conclusions by means of watching a specific Factor Database output, or even a sample Seti@home result, for that matter.

YouTube is supposed to be entertainment, fact and fiction. At times it is about reality as well. You are not always supposed to believe in all of its contents, but still this is up to you to decide and make a specific opinion.

Both patterns, colors, as well as numbers by means of specific numbers, including prime numbers and factors, are telling us about the workings of nature.

Because we happen to know about the earth being part of, or situated in what we call space, we are looking for an intelligent signal which may be telling us that we are not alone when it comes to our whereabouts or surroundings.

Colors, patterns and our knowledge of numbers are telling us a couple of things about the nature about us. At times, such knowledge rather becomes left to our imagination instead and our usual notion of reality becomes lost and instead being left for our unconscious mind to be dealing with.

But apparently you need to be a painter in order to be able to comprehend such things.

"OH YEAH! Best UFO Videos Of March 2015 [Huge UFO News] Share This!"

Really, the subject of UFO's and extraterrestrials this time and not about astronomy, astrobiology and space.

Are we still supposed to be believing in such things, or are they just lies?

You know, such things, or stories in fact, are supposed to be either debunked or at least analyzed when they are being visited or encountered.

In the end, knowledge and conception go by means of the human mind. If you know something is not for real, there may be single or individual times where you may not be able to give a definite answer.

But if you happen to watch such things a lot of times, you may be able to build up your own experience when it comes to certain things. It is not necessarily being open-minded all the times. Being open-minded may also be a lack of knowledge or understanding of such things.

Regardless of certain things being either ridiculed or possibly debunked, there may still be things you may not be able to understand. Still, we may take certain things for granted, because what we are able to know is based on a broad experience, an experience which has been acquired by people and in such a way is being transformed into knowledge and also being shared further as well.

Really, I have not had such an experience myself yet, but I have reason to believe that there are people around which have been able to experiece such things happening. For now, we have to rely on these sources and believe that what is being told is in fact true.

Anyway.

Mayonnaise, remoulade.

These two words needed a translation.

You know, cream from a pressured bottle goes well with my evening cake.

Same goes with my pig or pork food and what is needed in order for this to be tasting well.

But the above is meant for your salad, not your breakfast bread.

Sad to say.

Forwards or backwards - is it supposed to be moving?

Hmm, watching a couple of YouTube videos apparently gives a lot more when it comes to credit right now.

Or, is this just my stupid thought?

Here is something interesting I came across today.

I had a look from above using Google Maps (maps.google.com) at an area of my city which is kind of a people's museum. From above there is a wall visible which I am not familiar with, because I have not been inside there.

This wall which is of stone and probably not a natural formation is having a cross-like pattern when it comes to its appearance. There are buildings around which probably are not related to previous farming or the like.

There is a school in the same area as well as residential buildings and also an area nearby which may be related to a military storage facility or the like.

But after doing this, I wanted to have a ride along the main arm of the ocean called a "fjord", which is stretching quite a long way inland. When down on the road, I only clicked once or twice in order to move forward before I had a visitor showing up in the picture.

I do have IrfanView as my best picture application. I should perhaps be looking for something even better, but those from Adobe as well as a couple of others may come at a somewhat heavy price.

For now I chose to save the picture in both .png, .jpg as well as .gif format. Saving the picture using the .gif format gave me a warning about a possible loss of color quality, but I still chose to be doing this.

I will try getting some details out of this picture, but apparently the object is quite close to the camera. If I am able to get anything more here, I will upload it for possible viewing.

Edit: Looking at the picture and trying to enhance colors as well as inverting the colors, as well as converting it into greyscale did not help much. Most likely these discs are not having anyone inside, but they still appear to be physical objects, probably embedded or "cloaked" inside a cover or holster, or possibly an energy field.
