Commonwealth Games update (my last on preparations)
It has begun. And all the newspapers that were worried about whether there will be a games or not changed their tine in just 24 hours... cautiously though. I guess that is what freedom of media is all about... the freedom to be wrong, to be reckless in declarations making perceptions of all consumers wrong and not even apologize for it. People in my field have standards and standard making bodies IEEE, IET, BIS and others for any product we sell or use, it makes sense that the fidelity of intrepetation going public via brokers like the newspapers and television be tested against some standards as well. Another time...
The games have started with the fanfare expected. Newspapers reporting all the festive glory as a victory of Delhi... on the first page. Inside stories show a different picture, providing dual nature of information in a single day. It is reported that security is so 'tight' that even VVIP's relatives and some VIPs had a tough time getting through the arrangements sometimes when they were duly athorised but lacked red tape at that moment. The 'emergency' situation continues in many places, for example, Preet Vihar residents were almost quarantined behind barricades, not allowed to use any but public transport. Most of the strategic roads are now certainly healthy, made and remade at least a couple of times in a single week... one wonders why they were under construction for so many months if they were to be completed at such at eleventh hour at short a notice ? My leading hypothesis being to drive the construction costs up... same things done in short duration tender are expensive.
The public transport again reminds one of the 'emergency' situation. All private buses have been removed from the roads under the pretext that they are run over-crowded and wouldn't look nice to our 'international guests'. The public, i am told, must travel in metro and in government's vehicles instead. I couldn't follow how removing buses from the roads to solve over-crowding within the buses doesn't look like a mathematical impossibility to anyone. It is probably good that visitors haven't turned up in as great numbers as estimated before the planning and yes it is also a good thing that schools, colleges and shops in many of the famous markets of Delhi have been closed down.
The most ludicrous situation is for the pedestrian. Delhi has never been a pedestrian-friendly but things are actually worse now after the constructions are finally over. In Delhi, at some places walkers only cross the road after walking miles, if they choose to follow the traffic rules. The zebra paints are simply gone. So walkers just cross the road at strategic places, timing their crossing carefully in between motor traffic gaps. Now, to give the city a healthy look the side-walks of important roads have been fenced temporarily and shoddily... although one cannot see that from inside a motor vehicle. As perhaps a sick joke, many of the gaps provided in the metal fence have been provided where the zebras are still not there and probably were never there in the entire history of Delhi... jay-walking, by the way, is a crime for which people get fined (practically, not theoritically) if caught on some very important road.
Doordarshan, the government television network is the only one braodcasting the games live. It mostly shows empty stands and India unsurprisingly winning silver and bronze in every second event. From outside the subcontinent, only depleted teams have turned up. I am told apart from the opening ceremony, only swimming events sold all tickets... a hypothesis i overheard : we love seeing some skin although we are stingy in showing it.
Even though India is being applauded momentarily, and people are anticipating an olympic bid from here, it would be a grander mistake and a further demonstration that between false pride and history, former wins.
P.S.(7/10/10 the rest was typed before today):> The zebras have finally been painted, but, not unexpectedly, at some places they do not connect the gap between the fencing.

How to explain there's another way of looking at it ?
This discussion is about a common mistake that new atheists make, trying to reconvert back nice girls in their life to atheism. It is one thing telling your girlfriend that you are a non-believer and another to make her see things your way.
My opinion is don't push it especially with girls. After all you wouldn't want her to teach religion to you.

Justin
Okay... now I have to come up with some way to insult Justin since he's tossed in the gauntlet...
Justin (Justin Jest, JJ, Way2Serious, and so many other names I don't think even he can keep track) suffers from a severe case of "too sarcastic for long term survival." While generally humerous to watch, he has a marked tendency to switch names so often he ends up arguing with himself. This doesn't necessarily point to a sanity issue, however I have noticed several cases where not only has he argued with himself, but actually lost the arguement... not a good sign.
Sometimes the jest is more important than the argument itself.
I also have it on good authority that he suffers from excessive body hair and exceptionally sweaty feet. This has resulted in several EPA citations when he removes his shoes (which he likes to do on long flights in airplanes right after takeoff) as well as a girlfriend who had to be committed to a state mental hospital after getting her fingers tangled up in his hairy ass.
Naw. My feet aren't sweaty.
His manners are crude and his personal hygene can be charitably referred to as "adequit". He enjoys going to women's-only gyms after gorging himself on beer and pickled eggs, then farting until at least half the women pass out. He was arrested last year for "Lewd Conduct" for attempting to explain to a woman breast feeding on a bus that, "It's never too early to teach a child to share." He was cited for contempt during the trial for requesting the judge take off her robe so he could demonstrate to the jury what he planned to accomplish.
She should have been thankful a man paid her some attention. That was one homely biotch!
Good enough for now, JJ?
It'll do in a pinch.

Teucer insults everyone!
Okay... here's my take on various different beliefs throughout the world based on personal experience. If you are insulted by my opinion you only have yourself and your fellow believers to blame.
Christians
Complete and utter hypocrits.
Although they talk a good game about Peace, Love, and Tolerance, what they really mean is that you need to have those traits... They are allowed to be as petty, cruel, and violent as they wish.
Judaism
Bunch of "Holier than Thou" irritants.
As a whole they have a tendancy to sit back and say, "Look at me, look at how much I've suffered, I have earned my place." In reality they have suffered no more and no less than any other group in history, but will argue vehemently if you bring this up.
Islam
Bunch of adolescents.
They routinely engage in violent and insulting behavior against others, but act suprised and indignant if others do the same to them. In their defense they know they are a bunch of adolescents, the entire reason they cover their women up is that they know their men wouldn't be able to keep their hands off them if they didn't.
Hinduism
Blind self-contradiction.
Hinduism claims to be the most tolerant religion in the world. They base this on the fact that they have thousands of gods, none of whom is more important than any other. In reality they are completely intollerant and tend to look down their noses at everyone... even other Hindus.
(I had a discussion with a Hindu lady where she claimed that Hindus weren't racists. She then went on to say that she actually had really good reasons why she didn't like other races than her own... of course none of those reasons were actually true, but when has that ever mattered?)
Buddhist
Self-deluded snobs.
They hold themselves aloft from other religions saying their beliefs are based on a sound philosophical foundation... In reality it is based on the same superstitious tripe as everyone else.

Humanists
Science geeks.
State that they are not really a religion because their beliefs are based on actual science. Of course if you point out the holes in this science they get snitty and crawl off in a corner. No Humanist is willing to admit that Science will never answer all the questions.
Raelians
Has to be a joke.
This entire religion seems to have begun by two guys who watched way too many episodes of "X-Files" while on recreational pharmaceuticals. Probably the only religion on the planet that does not have any grounding in reality whatsoever.
Latter Day Saints
Some people will believe anything.
Let me get this straight. An illiterate ex-con named "John Smith" finds seven gold disks in a cave that he is somehow able to translate all by himself. When he goes to get others and bring them back to the cave to verify his claim, he finds they have "vanished without a trace." We should believe this?
Also happens to be the only religion where you can be excommunicated for reporting a crime. If an Elder commits a crime, reporting it or testifying against him is an unforgivable sin. This actually makes sense for a religion started by an ex-con.
Wicca
Fooling themselves.
Look, the entire Wiccan religion was wiped out hundreds of years ago. Today's "Wicca" has absolutely no basis in the actual Wiccan religion whatsoever. It is all based on a couple of women's ideas on what that particular religion should have been like. They made it up out of thin air based on rumor and old fairy tails.
Marxism
Fools.
Karl Marx was a complete idiot that didn't have the first clue on how human nature actually worked. His theories are based on his pampered ass watching other people work... He never had to work a day in his life. About the only thing he got right was the fact that religion was being used to keep the masses in line.

Philosophy
Laughable attempt to feel superior.
Philosophers were men with no actual marketable skills who were smart enough to convince others they were somehow geniuses. They gained material and monetary support from guiless patrons by repeatedly stating the obvious. (At least PT Barnam dressed well.)
The only good thing about philosophy is that most people tend to grow out of it. Eventually they actually listen to the tripe they are saying and decide it's time to move on with their lives.
Did I miss you? Don't worry, I'll probably piss you off eventually on this thread

Vista rants - Teucer
History repeats itself.
Though it is time well past writing about Windows 7, here I go back to Teucer's Vista installing experience; where we find out, among other things, that Vista wasn't the first sloppy job from MS and it won't be the last.
Though it certainly seems that Microsoft will have trouble replicate the dysfunctionality that Vista had 'earned' reputation for.

Windows Vista
Hey! BP gets to bitch about Sprint and Taco Bell... I'm gonna rant about Vista.
1: DirectX 10
Sounds good right? After all, DirectX is backwards compatable, so DirectX 10 will run everything. So, what's the problem? Well, for starters there isn't a single video card out there that utilizes DirectX 10 which means you have to use drivers that have patched together at the last minute... and work about as well as Chevy parts in a Ford.
2: Raptor Drives
Yes, the super-fast hard drives. The problem is that unless you want to spend close to a grand on a HD, you're going to be buying 34G drives... guess what... Vista takes about 17G to install. That's half your drive.
3: Framerate issues
If you try to do just about anything in windowed mode, your framerate is going to clock in at a whopping 15... ... ... That's right... Windows Vista is buggy as hell in windowed mode. WTF?
4: Support Hardware
Vista is so fubar that for an extra $40 a year you can subscribe to a service where Microsoft will regularly check your computer and fix what's wrong. Remember, the big seling point with Vista is that it's supposed to be easier to use than any previous version of Windows... ... ... and in order to use it, it is reccommended that you pay $40 a year to have a Microsoft software engineer set it up for you and keep it running.
5: Raid Drivers
Oh yeah... this is a big one. You know how you have 4 or more HDs so you don't go bankrupt buying Raptors? Well, Vista has a serious problem reccognising multiple drives if you have them in RBD (really big drive... where all your drives act like one big drive) so you finally get frustrated and set them up as individual drives. Guess what, by DVD drive defaulted to "M"... which tells you how much of a pain in the ass that can be.
It's been 6 hours setting up Vista on this computer and the one thing I can tell you is that the Microsoft service number is completely useless...

LOL, not really.
But considering how many times it was delayed, you would have thought that Microsoft would have worked out the obvious problems. Found a few more...
6: Hardware incompatability
Fast Track controllers for motherboards are not supported. For those who don't understand what that means, it means that there is an upper limit to the number of PIDE drives you can have installed in your computer. Fast Track is the most common firmware for the extra PIDE sockets on motherboard, and Vista doesn't recognise them.
7: Memory
Yes, Vista is a memory whore. This is not suprising for those of us who are "Old Farts" who remember how much of a memory whore Win95 was compared to Win3.1, but we're talking extreme here. idling Vista is taking up almost 1g of my memory.
8: Broadband Internet Connection
Suffice it to say that your network card is "Plug and Pray". The only way to get your broadband connection to work at first is to use the built-in network plug on your motherboard. Afterwords Vista will download the approapriate drivers automatically (well, it did for me... others weren't so lucky). Of course the error code didn't say the network card wasn't supported, it gave me something like "Service name unrecognised, please contact your Internet Service Provider."
In plain English... Netword Card drivers are not included in Vista and the only way to get the drivers is by going on-line which you can't do because your network card isn't supported... and then they lie to you and say it's the ISP's fault. Typical Microsoft.
NOTE: Concerning RAID. I was finally able to get Vista to recognise all my drives in a RBG format. I had to use "striping" mode.
I'm laying a bet at work... my money's on the prediction that by the time Microsoft gets the major bugs worked out, the new Windows OS will be on the market.

Typical
This is pretty standard for MS. They always release somethign that is loaded with fuck ups and then issue a shit load of patches followed by a service pack. Of course, if you have your computer running well and you have installed anything, the service pack will completely fuck up everything. Consequently, you will have to format your drive, install your OS and then get the service pack. Then, if your IP address isn't hacked, your computer will run okay. If, on the other hand, your IP address is hacked, you will get loaded up very quickly with all sorts of spyware, malware and viruses. That, of course, will require an online scan for viruses because installing your AV program will generally fuck up your AV program and make it useless.
I fucking love Microsoft.

Found another problem....
Vista does not come with anti-virus software (and, yes... I bought the premium version). No big deal, Microsoft AV programs have always been clunky pieces of crap that not only take up a huge amount of resources, but are typicaly about three years out of date. However, neither Norton nor MacAfee are compatable with Vista unless you get the 2007 versions.
Now I have this warning that pops up periodically telling me I need AV software and the AV software I have is not compatable. @%#$%@%$#%@$#%@$%$#!!!!!!

Okay, am getting Vista tweaked out. I finally got through to a live person at the Microsoft Service line, and he wasn't much help. He told me that it looked like I was going to have to upgrade my computer. LOL, I had to explain to this microdweeb that I am using a 6GHz processor with raptor drives on one of the latest Asus boards on the market... They don't make them much more powerful than I'm using. I hate Customer Service people who don't know what the fuck they are talking about and are reading fucking cue cards.
I finally went to my favorite tech site and got a phome number to call. I got someone who spoke almost passing English, but was actually able to answer some of my questions (Thank god for India!) I've finally got Vista tweaked to where I'm almost happy with it.
I'm telling you... If I didn't need Vista for the new CAD I'm using I'd go back to XP in a heartbeat. Now all I have to do is figure out how to get Vista to use a blueprint plot printer...
Wish me luck.
