But all property isn't equal/equivalent. There isn't a thing called
'property' that all other 'things' fall into.

There's a story about a library and a couple of catalogs and a question of
whether to list one catalog in another...

Increase your penis size 25% in two weeks

[juleshumbleou]

Title: Have a BLAST in bed



Have a BLAST in bed,
GUARANTEED!








Finally, a safe and natural penile enlargement
supplement!
 Naturally boost your sex drive and rejuvenate sexual
function.





Good news, men! Recent
discoveries in herbal medicine have made it possible for men to
safely and effectively boost their sexual vitality while increasing
their penis size by 25% or more!

Certified Natural Laboratories is pleased to introduce the
latest addition to their widely acclaimed line of herbal
supplements: Maxaman™.

Specially formulated with herbs and extracts from around
the globe, Maxaman™ can help to enhance sexual sensitivity,
increase sexual stamina, and actually increase the size of your
penis by up to 25%. The special blend of herbs in Maxaman™
have been shown to boost blood flow to the penis, thus expanding
the sponge-like erectile tissue in the penis, leading to size gains
in both length and thickness.

A
recent survey showed that 68% of women are unsatisfied with the
size of their partners. Of course most of these women would never
tell their partner that they are unhappy with their penis size.
Having a small or average-sized penis can result in depression and
feelings of inadequacy. Thankfully, men of all ages can now safely
and naturally increase the size of their penis and renew sexual
vitality without resorting to dangerous surgery.





What To
Expect:





1-2 weeks
 Most men notice more powerful and longer lasting erections almost
immediately. A noticeable increase in thickness is also
common.

 3-8 weeks
 By this point you should be able to notice an increase in
thickness in both erect and flaccid states, as well as an overall
increase in length.

 9 weeks +
 After nine weeks, your penis should be noticeably larger in both
length and girth.

 





Below is a comparison chart compiled from the most recent
data on penis size. See how you measure up...

How to measure your penis size
correctly: To determine length, measure the erect penis
from the base of the penis where the top of the shaft meets the
pubic area (the peno-pubic junction) to the tip of the head. For
uncircumcised men the foreskin should be retracted. To determine
width, measure at mid-shaft around the circumference while the
penis is erect.


Whether you have a small, average or large penis, it is now
possible for you to increase the size of your penis by up to 25%
without resorting to dangerous surgery or cumbersome
weights.

The
all-natural proprietary blend of unique herbs found in Maxaman is
designed to restore blood flow, unleash stored testosterone, and
heighten sensation by activating the body's natural hormone
production and supplying vital nutrients necessary for peak sexual
performance. All of the ingredients in Maxaman are stringently
scrutinized, and are guaranteed to be of the highest pharmaceutical
grade.

erectile tissue in the penis, leading to size gains in both length

I believe it's a test. The studio has determined that Harry Potter has
already made a (sizable) profit, so using it for an experiment is
acceptable. By testing on a big budget target they can now determine if
copy-protection costs exceed value.

I don't think so, not yet at least. This looks like just a pilot program.
Watch the normal piracy channels though, if Harry Potter shows up stronger
than other releases Macrovision will be around a while. But if Harry Potter
isn't substantially hit by piracy, then you might want to start shorting
Macrovision, they'll start losing customers.

I guess I don't think that's right.

Sooner, hopefully rather than later, machines will be able to buy things
from other machines using on-line cash.

The risk will be absorbed by having a multitude of underwriters of cash
instead of a single issuer for all cash, so you're partly right.

But the point is, you can have an authenticated on-line transaction, at
least at a risk low enough to move all kinds of money around safely.

If Governments really want us to behave like civilized human beings, they
should give serious consideration towards setting a better example:
Ruling by force, rather than consensus; the unrestrained application of
unjust laws (which the victim-populations were never allowed input on in
the first place); the State policy of justice only for the rich and 
elected; the intentional abuse and occassionally destruction of entire
populations merely to distract an already apathetic and numb electorate...
This type of demogoguery must surely wipe out the fascist United States
as surely as it wiped out the fascist Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

The views expressed here are mine, and NOT those of my employers,
associates, or others.  Besides, if it *were* the opinion of all of
those people, I doubt there would be a problem to bitch about in the
first place...

What, "if we lived here, we'd be home now"? :-).

Not necessarily. It just costs too much to do. Yet.

That's why I say "risk adjusted transaction cost" so much. :-).

Sooner or later, the accumulated code base, and falling semiconductor
prices will overcome the lawyer's threats, and the banker's fear, greed
will set in, and nature will take its course.

Be nice to make it happen faster, though, certainly.

Movie Physics: "slime-filled bathtubs inside a giant tesla coil"

[R. A. Hettinga]

From: http://intuitor.com/moviephysics/index.html


http://intuitor.com/moviephysics/matrix.html

Movie Physics

The Matrix (1999)
Rated: [RP] (R for Retch)
Starring:   Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, Hugo Weaving,
Joe Pantoliano
Directed by:Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski
Written by: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski


Humanity has been imprisoned by an evil computer system. People now live
their lives confined to clear slime-filled bathtubs inside a giant tesla
coil tended by gargantuan mechanical spiders. However, imprisonment isn't
all bad. Everyone's connected to a sophisticated computer simulation of the
late 20th century. This certainly beats a life of contemplating slime.
Unfortunately, people are still restrained by the same old societal norms,
petty rules, and laws of physics, that is except for a few enlightened
hackers who've discovered reality, and are trying to free the rest of
humanity. It's hard to argue with the physics of a movie like The Matrix.
Considering the action takes place mostly in a computer simulation, flaws
in physics can usually be dismissed as bad programming.

It's positively diabolical. We're forced to accept gung-fu B-movie physics
and can't argue because the action takes place in a computer simulation.
Even so we can't resist a few comments. For instance at the beginning of
the movie Trinity (one of the hackers) jumps five feet off the ground and
pauses in mid air before kicking a policeman just below his neck. The
policeman is swept off his feet and translates straight backwards into
another cop. The two continue translating until they slam into a wall. A
kick this far above the policeman's center of gravity would have caused him
to rotated backwards. The slightly downward direction of the kick would not
have swept him off his feet. What's more, since Trinity was about half the
cop's mass and the collision of her foot with him was largely elastic (it
didn't stick to him) Trinity should have bounced backward to conserve
momentum. Okay, okay, we are forced to admit that Trinity is one of the
enlightened hackers who can bend a few laws of physics inside the
simulation. But the cop was just a regular joe and should have rotated.

We could go on with minor criticisms of simulated events but our chief
objection is not the simulation. We just can't buy the explanation of why
the computer system bothers to maintain not only the simulation but
humanity. Supposedly, the computer system needs people as a power source.
This makes no sense. The food fed to humans would have far more energy
content than the meager power available from humans. It would require even
more energy to run the food delivery system not to mention maintain the
slime tubs. Why would the machines bother? Surely there'd be a more
effective way to extract energy from the food. But wait! It gets worse.
Liquefied dead humans are fed back to the living ones. The movie comes
dangerously close to implying that the computer/energy system is a giant
perpetual motion machine. This is clearly impossible according to the
second law of thermodynamics and likewise impossible for us to dismiss
lightly.

To cover itself, the movie throws in a quick mention that the human energy
source powering the machines is combined with a source of fusion. This is
like getting on a 747 and having the captain explain in great detail that
the plane is rubber band powered, then add that it also has four jet
engines. Guess which power source gets it off the ground, duh.

The Matrix had real potential as a cerebral thriller. The pacing, suspense,
and sense of tension in the first half are masterful. We would have
preferred less oracle mumbo jumbo. We'd have also been more excited at the
start of the great rescue scene if the characters had said they needed a
bajillion terabytes of RAM and a case of K-7000 processors to fight the
evil computer system instead of saying they needed lots of guns. We do
concede that shooting and gung-fu are more fun to watch than keyboarding
but isn't the point of sci-fi to push the boundaries of science? The Matrix
fails to meet its potential because it just can't leave the artificial
science in the computer simulation along with the artificial intelligence.
It had a great start which unfortunately evolved into another mindless
action piece.

As all Matrix cognoscenti know, the machines use humans to extract otherwise
unavailable entropy, randomness which is fed into fusion generators, that would
otherwise get stuck because of the well known "quantum boredom" effect.

It's superficially similar to mass media principles, and there is at least one
PhD thesis that claims that machines use humans for entertainment.

Of course, one cannot expect comprenhension of the above by those still stuck
into geodesic mud.
