Eisenhower briefing document...

When is science supposed to be dumb or for dummies?

Remember, the most powerful men in the world are (and were) supposed to be waging a war against enemy nations, including its people.

Rob a bank and you are supposed to be dead.

Please excuse the name confusion. This is not supposed to be an official Google or NARA document. It rather is a posting supposed to be coming from an individual that is having its way of living turned slightly upwards down (or bottom top, if you will) because of certain events.

I still am shaving a couple of black hairs from my face. In not too long it will be all gray and definitely it will show up here as well.

Still watching the video...

I said: "What about your problem"?

What am I supposed to be in all of this.

On a given scale I am just 0.84 and am able to find small numbers at times.

You get this first.

So, after finishing watching this video, I am asking myself the following questions.

The questions around about UFO's, possible alien intelligence, mind and home intrusion as well as trespassing becomes either inconclusive, not proven, or of no value at all.

If I was able to learn anything more from watching this video, I do not have it right now. It needs at least one more playback for watching in order to catch and tell about the subtle point I was able to catch right here.

Not for starters though.

I will get back at it.

Right now I do not have it.

Also, my keyboard is located on a pull-out table.

At times it becomes doing it blind-folded.

This YouTube video has a play length of 01:45:05 .

I listened to the sound two days ago while working on something else.

Now it is time watching this video.

Apparently it is a better one.

Remember I got quite much here.

Got new tasks earlier on when re-starting a couple of suspended tasks.

Also I have a couple of PrimeGrid tasks as well in my task list with way to short deadlines.

Tomorrow I will commence those PrimeGrid tasks which have not been started up yet in order to be able to keep those tasks.

The Seti@home tasks have more generous deadlines. They will have to be left alone for a day or two and I will have to get back at them a little later on.

Thanks, Julie.

Time for me to go nuts again.

I am supposed to be an idiot if you did not know it already.

More errors today?

Weird, isn't it.

Master of sciences makes master of mind.

Numbers are supposed to be important, but at least when it comes to PrimeGrid, it goes down the drain.

I was out shopping earlier today. Cloudy skies and sleet coming down on already icy roads.

Not too cold, though. It is a mixture of both rain and snow and everything in the middle as well.

This one for you.

At least one of the moderators here is known to be pouring cold water into the particapants of Seti@home at times.

Why so?

If I ever chose to make my voice loud, telling people that extraterrestrials are a real fact, angels or not, I most likely would be laughed at.

That is the reason.

Still, there are some compelling evidence lurking around.

The question becomes as follows - what is supposed to be scientific facts?

Are scientists supposed to be of any value at all?

Is science supposed to be valid?

What (if anything) should we (or are we supposed or assumed to) be valuing?

If a costly lamp comes crashing down (which it did here, because of family circumstances), are you supposed to feel any loss because of this happening, or do you just take it for granted?

Hwy man, I got 6 - 7 million credits in total on this project.

Is it worth it all when it comes to money, time and power consumption?

Just asking these questions, because I know noone is answering.

In the end it all ends up becoming stupid questions.

Apparently it is a Monday morning.

And winter is still with us, at least where I am.

I woke up here with the news of an ecomic upbeat and therefore got into a bad mood myself.

But after listening to some local disappointing news, the mood turned back again to being the same as the weather outside.

Is it better than always agree with someone than rather disagreee?

At least it is being allowed, to a certain extent. Supposedly criticism is better than discrimination.

Also it is better than not when you are supposed to be trusting those you are together with.

Remember the earlier debate here about the dangers of possible extinction by nature?

Apparently an expert on evolution, they may perhaps be called anthropologists, or the like, came into the debate stating that this part of history is a true fact.

So, are astronomers at times seeking consensus when it comes to questions of their interest, or is it perhaps necessary to seek outside advice when it comes to this question as well?

If the magical moment should ever arise, would we be able to agree and be able to reach such a consensus?

Anyway, I may have asked the same question once before, but I am asking the same question again based on what is currently being in the news.

Even a dull day like this does not hide the facts about our previous historical experiences and what may lie ahead of us as well.

Hopefully I will survive the week and into the next weekend.

I have scanned all the partitions on all the discs inserted for registry errors using Advanced System Protector.

It took some time to do this.

There is a small typo in the translation and the speakers were not turned on.

But this is a Systweak product. Also it apparently is a Microsoft Gold Sertified Partner, so definitely it should be hard finding anything much better than this.

Spyware is not supposed to damage or destroy your discs. However, computer viruses, trojans and other malicious malware are capable of doing damage.

This comes in addition to the mentioned errors which may affect the Windows registry.

When doing this, it is because of the errors I received when running tasks under BOINC. Therefore it is being mentioned, because such errors may affect both results as well as performance.

Now I have to look for my credit card. I think I have received a new one in the postage mail.

I should mention the following as well because I find it of being of importance.

But right now there appears to be at least three different tools around when it comes to registry maintenance.

These are as follows:

Advanced System Protector

DLL-files fixer

The third one was uninstalled, because I do not want hear a female voice telling me that the scanning has been finished. It was trial software, therefore I for now lost the name of the application.

I will try locating the name of this software tool a little later on.

Such use of voice software should not be used in maintenance or boot-up software in my opinion, because your mood may be different when at the start of a session than when possibly watching some YouTube videos later on.

Edit:

Not meaning to be advertising or promoting, but checking around gives me other products to choose instead. Is this perhaps because of local marketing choices, or is it rather because of the platform which is being used?

Right now I do not know the answer to this question.

Thank you for the replies.

I once again had to log off my local user account because it took more than 60 seconds for each keystroke to be recognized when using Notepad.

I am suspecting either the failed partition or possibly a registry error to be the reason for this. It is not because of BOINC Manager, so therefore it is not your fault.

Definitely there is competition around when it comes to registry maintenance software. Depending on what you pay for and what you stumble across first, some end up being better than others regardless of it being subscription or trial software.

I probably will need to do something with this quite soon, because this is my last running partition.

You certainly well know that the https protocol is a way of transmitting information between a sender and a receiver without anyone in between being able to read the intended contents. Because there are several different protocols being used for different purposes, RSA-2048 is not always the preferred choice when it comes to encryption of contents and the safety which is supposed to be included by means of the same.

For such a purpose, both Internet Explorer as well as Google Chrome is offering anonymous surfing by means of incognito tabs or windows. Starting a session using such a tab does not prevent your Internet provider or the recipient to get access to the information you choose to provide. However, when using Google Chrome, the web pages you choose to visit do not become recorded in the history log of this browser.

But it should not be forgotten either that when you are visiting a web page, your session is both recorded and monitored both at the places you are visiting and most likely during its way as well.

Network monitoring software is constantly logging your web surfer habits and even though I am not able to log in on another server which is not directly web related, but still may be connected to such a web server on the same local network, a log is definitely being created and monitored which is showing my local IP address, the number of times I connected to the web server in question and at which times I both entered as well as left.

In this way my surfing habits become well recorded at each and every web page I visit on the web. You are therefore never supposed to be on your own when you are browsing the web.

The same or even more could be said when it comes to e-mail and chat software. In some instances chat software like Skype is being installed on your own computer and the person you are supposed to be communicating with may well be someone you happen to know.

So what about Yahoo! Messenger then? I have not been using this client for a while. Such a client makes it possible to also send and receive files as well.

What about possible viruses and other malicious software that possibly may end up on your system while browsing. Are you supposed to be safe regardless of the tools and subscription you may have in order for this not to happen?

Definitely you never are guranteed against such things happening and when it happens, it could well lead into disaster.

Are you supposed to trust your Anti-Virus software and possible firewall when using such a messaging client, or would it be even better if a separate Anti-Spyware application is protecting you as well by means of tracking your keystrokes and other habits?

Definitely Norton Internet Security is quite good at protecting you when it comes to this and is supposed to leave you alone most of the time.

But I also have seen a couple of examples or instances where it showed to be runnning in the background and keeping a watch of your movements.

So, because of the way software is meant to be doing its job, it therefore becomes a compromise between security and privay when you happen to be surfing the web and doing the things you want to do.

Add to all of this a PRP1086 late tonight.

I am having a cup of coffee together with a chocolate dessert after the dinner.

Changing the subject a little, since I am not supposed to be posting as pinkpanther here.

Is there anything which may indicate that the universe is an experiment of sorts and that things went into production when it was shown it could be working, although not without possible slight errors?

To believers we are supposed to have been created in the picture of God.

Military men are supposed to either receive their orders from politicians, or possibly take things in their own hands.

I read a story a little while back that there may have been received a signal coming from space which may have been a distress call of sorts.

Apparently something went wrong, maybe someone pressed the wrong button, or possibly it was a natural disaster of sorts, but an intelligent civilization apparently was not able to cope to circumstances and went down.

This could very well happen here on earth as well, both because of ourselves as well as our environment.

If Doomsday is supposed to be looming, are we supposed to be praying for mercy, seeking help in a God who for many does not exist at all?

If there is no reason to believe in God, is there any point of making ourselves unique and valuable?

Because of our intelligence, we assume that we are a little better off than aunts. If an anthill is being thrashed by a bear, we are not supposed to feel their anger or loss, but we will be able to see that they quite soon start rebuilding what they were having.

Things are changing all the time. This as a result of circumstances.

When something gets out of control, it may be a hard thing to stop. Therefore there always have to be someone in charge of things who are able to take the responsibility and by doing this way avoiding certain things to happen which could send us down the drain.

Your taste, Julie, but unfortunately not mine.

Have a look at this video instead.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9XWMJ4tgts

Your opinion, please.

Yet another example of information that is not supposed to be believed, or is it rather meant to be so?

I leave it for you to make up your mind and decide.

Edit: Just added a P253 to my factor list. Also a PRP352 as well.

Before it gets too late again.

I had more error tasks as you probably are aware of.

I do not know what the reason is, but it is not heat related, since many tasks still are successful.

But while running both Seti@home tasks as well as PrimeGrid tasks, also 12 Yafu factorization tasks are running as well, in separate DOS windows.

If this application could have been developed for Windows, it would be even better.

The question then becomes making a difference between running times and possible errors.

If software development and possible tuning makes it possible to run more things at the same time, possibly with some screen lag as a result, even with CUDA turned off, a given task may be having a longer run time than expected, but still be successful.

For this I am comparing with a PrimeGrid Extended Sierpinski task.

This task runs on the CPU and apparently becomes a long one, almost 40 hours now and still some 20 minutes to go.

Is it possible, or likely that this task, as well as the Seti@home CPU tasks will be running in a shorter time, if not running the factorization tasks as well?

Definitely these tasks are running at a given priority which has been set by the operating system. It may be possible to make a comparison between the individual tasks, but then what about the relationship between BOINC Manager and these tasks as a whole?

Right now I do not have an answer to this question. In order to be able to know this answer, I would have to dig into the details of the priorities for the running tasks and at this moment I do not want to do that.

Edit:

The PrimeGrid task finished with a running time of 144,674.00 seconds. I do have quite much credit on this project, but it never becomes a question about cheating, at least with Honza in charge of the server.

First, the task received an "Error by computing", but when checking back again later, it was now "Success, Initial" and therefore pending, since my wingman has not finished yet. Apparently the server received the residue for the task this time, even though I was unable to find it here.

The task completed with a "finish file present too long" error message and I will have too look up the error codes, at least when it comes to the Seti@home tasks.

Probably I am having a problem with my discs, since I am getting these errors, but right now I am unable to do anything about it. Two more 3 TB SATA discs lies unpacked on the shelf if it should be necessary, but the DVD containing Windows Ultimate 32-bits has become broken. The 64-bits version should still be working.
