2056.	Solve : Facistic system??
Answer» So, I live in Belgium. Yep. The educational system works like this, in there: Students of highschool are classified and split into 3 groups: - ASO - TSO - BSO Summary: - ASO: General studying. You get a packet of all general courses including languages and math. Purpose: studying further to university when completed. - TSO: Technical studying. These are the techs, including electricians, engineers, musicians, .. Purpose: Either further to university or get a job - BSO: Retarded studying. These are the dumbest people you can find. Not necessarily are they dumb, but they put the people with the lowest marks/intelligence here. Math level in the 4th year (you are 15-16 years old then) of highschool in this part of the system is adding, substracting, dividing. I've said enough. Purpose: go work immediately after highschool, because you just studied only one specific thing which was meant for you to get a job in it. Examples: painter, construction worker, drawing artist, wood worker, boat worker... in other words, the worst jobs out there. i.e. jobs for the 'big guys'. This is how it works: you get into highschool, you start at ASO, if they find you didn't have such good grades (let's say you failed at 4 courses), they say 'hm, maybe it's better we put him in an education system that's less heavy on the theory'. So, they put him in TSO. However, did this young person get way too many bad grades in his first year (15 to 33 bad grades for example), they say, censored this guy is dumb. Let's put him with the retards. They put him in BSO. My question to you fellas is, what if this 11 yo kid just get into highschool and was not mature enough to keep paying attention or care about his studies? What if he was SLIGHTLY dyslexic, or needed logopedy assistance in order to study better? What if he was intelligent enough for ASO but he lacked maturity and thus failed so many courses his first year? What if he wasn't mature enough to understand the way books were structured? Guess what, now he is stuck there forever, with the retards. Do you think it's fair for this kid to be blocked from university for the rest of his life unless he pays the government a big fat $$$ or gets into external exams from the government, seperately? Do you know how this messes up the entire life!!!! of this kid? Once you are in BSO, you are never ever allowed, by anyone, by any school, ever anymore, into something higher (such as TSO, ASO)!!. I believe this to be very discriminating!! It makes me angry. This is how they put low class people (read: not rich), politics wise (oh, let's put him with the dumber ones immediately) and foreigners immediately in the lowest class -> BSO. Yeah, it's all little politics. I know it. This is how snobby SCHOOLS make sure foreigners don't get into the world mixed with their rich, snobby culture kids. Yes, you walk past an all-ASO-kids school, guess what you see? Ferrari's, convertibles, astor martin's, BMW last models... yeah, that's politics for you. That's racism for you aswell. censored bastards. It makes me furious. What do you see in the more common community schools where everybody goes to? You see normal working parents with normal cars and normal people. They call this a DEMOCRACY?! This is not a democracy!! I find it to be facism. Is it fair to put kids in cages like this? Why can't they just put them all together in an all general class with general purpose studying? For God's sake! Is this a democratic system? To divide everyone by intelligence and grades?! Disgusting, that's what I say.

Solve : Facistic system??

Answer»

So, I live in Belgium. Yep.

The educational system works like this, in there:

Students of highschool are classified and split into 3 groups:

- ASO
- TSO
- BSO

Summary:

- ASO: General studying. You get a packet of all general courses including languages and math.
Purpose: studying further to university when completed.

- TSO: Technical studying. These are the techs, including electricians, engineers, musicians, ..
Purpose: Either further to university or get a job

- BSO: Retarded studying. These are the dumbest people you can find.
Not necessarily are they dumb, but they put the people with the lowest marks/intelligence here.
Math level in the 4th year (you are 15-16 years old then) of highschool in this part of the system is adding, substracting, dividing.
I've said enough.
Purpose: go work immediately after highschool, because you just studied only one specific
thing which was meant for you to get a job in it. Examples: painter, construction worker, drawing artist,
wood worker, boat worker... in other words, the worst jobs out there. i.e. jobs for the 'big guys'.

This is how it works: you get into highschool, you start at ASO, if they find you didn't have such good grades (let's say you failed at 4 courses), they say 'hm, maybe it's better we put him in an education system that's less heavy on the theory'. So, they put him in TSO. However, did this young person get way too many bad grades in his first year (15 to 33 bad grades for example), they say, *censored* this guy is dumb. Let's put him with the retards. They put him in BSO.

My question to you fellas is,
what if this 11 yo kid just get into highschool and was not mature enough to keep paying attention or care about his studies? What if he was SLIGHTLY dyslexic, or needed logopedy assistance in order to study better? What if he was intelligent enough for ASO but he lacked maturity and thus failed so many courses his first year? What if he wasn't mature enough to understand the way books were structured? Guess what, now he is stuck there forever, with the retards.

Do you think it's fair for this kid to be blocked from university for the rest of his life unless he pays the government a big fat $$$ or gets into external exams from the government, seperately?

Do you know how this messes up the entire life!!!! of this kid? Once you are in BSO, you are never ever allowed, by anyone, by any school, ever anymore, into something higher (such as TSO, ASO)!!. I believe this to be very discriminating!! It makes me angry. This is how they put low class people (read: not rich), politics wise (oh, let's put him with the dumber ones immediately) and foreigners immediately in the lowest class -> BSO. Yeah, it's all little politics. I know it. This is how snobby SCHOOLS make sure foreigners don't get into the world mixed with their rich, snobby culture kids. Yes, you walk past an all-ASO-kids school, guess what you see? Ferrari's, convertibles, astor martin's, BMW last models... yeah, that's politics for you. That's racism for you aswell. *censored* bastards. It makes me furious.

What do you see in the more common community schools where everybody goes to? You see normal working parents with normal cars and normal people. They call this a DEMOCRACY?! This is not a democracy!! I find it to be facism.

Is it fair to put kids in cages like this? Why can't they just put them all together in an all general class with general purpose studying? For God's sake! Is this a democratic system? To divide everyone by intelligence and grades?! Disgusting, that's what I say.

The poor kids get blocked from university straight away and get into a very bad lifestyle, where his classmates are thugs, people who don't care about studying, demotivated people, violent people.. all the worst guys together. Yeah, you don't wanna be studying with that kind of people. It doesn't particularly motivate you.

Is it fair to deprive someone of a decent education and give him a really crappy one instead?!
And guess what!!! The pretty, rich boys and girls get to go to university!! Wow, democracy!!

Anyway..

Let me know your thoughts on this, if anyone.
Just thought I'd tell you all what a horrible education system Belgium has.

Do you by any chance mean fascist?IQ is the ability to learn at a certain rate not the amount of knowledge or experience a person has amassed.
Other people learn at different rates. one individual may have a learning disability in mathematics yet be considered a genius in reading. Yes I mean fascist.

Still I don't think they should be divided into groups like this. Plain unfair.

2058.	Solve : problem with our public digital TV?
Answer» We have a CRT television and we have a digital - analogue converter box. Anyone living in the US knows by now, about the the recent switch-over from analogue broadcasting to digital broadcasting, by television networks. We get a large black box on our screen with some gobbly-gook coding in the box. This happens on every single channel we get. We have to turn the converter box off, and then back on to get to back to normal. But it always comes back... See picture.. Anyone else have this problem ? We don't actually have the greatest antenna though. It's a rabbit ears antenna. That might have something to do with it. It's not optimized for for digital reception like other ANTENNAS... [recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]My best guess is that you got a bad converter box. I don't think the problem has ANYTHING to do with your rabbit ears antenna, although if you can I would get a better antenna. I KNOW if your in a apartment or condo, that's not always possible. Usually a digital signal either works, or it doesn't work. When it is on the edge of not working usually you will see the picture pixelize, or break up, before it goes blank. I've never seen a black box like that pop up.maybe the converter needs a firmware update I don't know. Yes we do live in an apartment complex I kinda liked the analogue signaling better. If it didn't come in well, at least yo could still watch it.. It would just be a little fuzzy It has only been about 1 year though, the technology will probably get better...Quote from: EEVIAC on April 18, 2010, 12:21:56 AM maybe the converter needs a firmware update Maybe, but most of the over the air digital to analog converters I've seen don't look like they were meant for upgrading.

I don't know Wouldn't hurt in checking into I guess.. Here in the UK (Great Britain) the switchover is happening in stages; my area switched over 2 weeks ago. The boxes do have firmware, and the firmware gets updated "over the air". When an update is available for a particular model of box, an update signal is included in the transmitted data stream. Once the box has received, verified and stored the update code, it will reboot the next time it is in standby mode at 3 AM. Alternatively the update procedure can be triggered manually from the box's setup menu. I very much doubt that US boxes are very different in this regard. Two things that became widely known the day after analog was switched off: (1) There are some older boxes around that have obsolete firmware and cannot be updated. This came out when UK digital TV went over to a mode called "Split NIT". The NIT or Network Information Table was split in the original specification but not implemented by some converter box companies. These assumed a single NIT would always be used and owners of these boxes lost channels permanently as the system went over to DUAL NITs. (2) People who had been getting OK analog reception with indoor antennas were now getting zilch. The fact that power cycling the box restores proper working makes me wonder if a firmware upgrade has not completed properly.

Answer» Do you see the motorcycle click to enlarge [recovering disk space - old attachment deleted by admin]The Honda crotch rocket rider was traveling at approximately 85 mph. The VW driver was talking on a cell phone when she pulled out from a side street, apparently not seeing the motorcycle. The riders reaction time was not sufficient ENOUGH to avoid this accident. The car had two passengers and the bike rider was found INSIDE the car with them. The VOLKSWAGEN actually flipped over from the force of impact and landed 20 feet from where the collision took place.

It's across the Utlantic Ocean from North Emerica, I think. Actually, what the OP describes is a well known scam, which has been operated in my country, (Great Britain) as well. It depends on the fact that third party suppliers can sell services to cell phone users and get payment via the user's account. What happens is this: 1. The victim typically Googles for "send sms via internet" or "download free ringtone" 2. One of the hits includes something like "Send SMS to any cell phone FREE!!!" or "Free ringtone!!!" 3. The victim clicks the link. 4. The victim sees an inviting web page with easy-to-follow links to send an SMS, choose a ringtone, etc. 5. The victim fills in their own cell number, SENDS the message or gets the "free" ringtone or game or whatever 8. (Better) If the victim is using pay-as-you-GO (prepay) they find fairly soon their airtime credit has decreased dramatically. 9. (Worse) If the victim is on a billed plan they find out at bill time that charges have been applied to their account. 10. They go back to the website and read the (well hidden) conditions and see that by clicking "OK" they have actually signed up to a "service" involving "useful" software, services, ring tones etc, at so much a month, first payment deductible immediately. The "free" stuff comes with the paid for service. They also see that to cancel they have to call a premium-rate number which turns out to play them a WHOLE bunch of recorded messages before they get to cancel. Alternatively they call their cell service provider who cancels the service, but will not refund the charges. In my country we have a Telecommunications Regulator and they can take down service providers who trap people unfairly but it takes time and they often just re-register under a new name.

2076.	Solve : boot device problem...?
Answer» Hi! I would like to share with you guys about what happened when I tried to troubleshoot my PC. When i get into the BIOS setting and saved some adjustments, right after the exit process, a statement was flashed in the screen and it states like this, "REBOOT and select booth device, or install MEDIA booth device...". I tried to restart the PC and get into the BIOS set-up again. I checked what i had adjusted and then F10, after that same statement appears, I don't know now what is going on. Can you help me guys about this? 1) What were you doing in the bios in the first place - (why and what did you change)? 2) What is the current boot device order in bios?Load BIOS defaults.thanks guys!

It was the ice cracking and splitting as it formed but met the WARMER than preferred by ice temperature of my room. Hopefully I'll have a camera handy the next time this happens...

I'm impressed. So - First Name? Frani Do you have pets? Right now it's only a pet gecko, but I must house sit to get a definite kitty-fix regularly How many HOURS a day do you spend on the computer? Too many - I've become a vampire. Guess that's about 10-15 hours a day, when I'm not obliged to drive around out and about. How many computers do you own? One "new" one with win7, one older one that runs linux, another one that runs win 2000 and one that doesn't work. A couple more old ONES in storage... What is your favorite color? The color you get when you mix a yellow with a teensy bit of black What kind of music do you like? Music without words, mostly. Or music with words that I can't understand. What are your goals? To have more relationships that aren't virtual or telephonal. To make up another job for myself or get paid for teaching Alexander Technique more often. ( A.T. is how to unlearn what you taught yourself to do by accident.) To write faster, (probably learning easyscript) To make more art, (of my own.) To get paid for graphic recording at events - (it's a combo of a sort of mind-mapping and note-taking.) To play the array mbira more often. Who are your heroes? Living? Mr. Natural & his Biz partner, (really, he's a real person) Barbara Sher, Edward de Bono, Elese Coit (someone I met on Twitter) & my new house mate What kind of sports are you into? Floating in the sea looking at sea life, hiking at night, gossiping ;o) I don't watch TV Do you have any piercings? Not even on my ears, and I'm female Left hand or right handed? Mostly right, but I can juggle well enough to pass clubs and learn all new skills left-handed Any tattoo's? Yeah, one I drew myself of a horse. Faded now, but I redraw on it regularly to turn it into other sorts of animals. What is your favorite website? www.enjoysthin.gs.com or my own site: www.franis.org Playing any computer or console games if so which ones? Mahjong, Spider solitaire, three decks (ducks) But I play them on my Linux box, at least... Married? Don't believe in marriage, so far anyway /b] Have kids? No, have lousy genes. What languages do you speak? Well, English and enough Espanol to know what people are talking about, but not enough to know what they're saying about it. Would like to learn another, but not sure which one. Maybe sign language. /b] How many keys are on your keyring? multiple key rings. My house is an ancient cowboy bunkhouse that has 9 locking doors! What is your favorite beverage? Chai tea, with almost as much milk in it as tea What is your hair color? Reddish dark blonde - all 45 inches of it Welcome to CH Frani.

That name is so common and so often already someone else has taken it everywhere I go, so I came up with the variation which is usually available. Invented it since I write my "g"s like figure eights. My first name is actually "Franis," but that is so often read as "Francis" that I just use "Frani" to make it not so TRICKY for people.

Guess this place is a sort of "use 'em and lose 'em" spot, by the nature of it. But I'm sure appreciating your help and might even want to stick around and learn what you guys know how to do. I'm impressed.
So -
First Name? Frani

Do you have pets? Right now it's only a pet gecko, but I must house sit to get a definite kitty-fix regularly

How many HOURS a day do you spend on the computer? Too many - I've become a vampire. Guess that's about 10-15 hours a day, when I'm not obliged to drive around out and about.

How many computers do you own? One "new" one with win7, one older one that runs linux, another one that runs win 2000 and one that doesn't work. A couple more old ONES in storage...

What is your favorite color? The color you get when you mix a yellow with a teensy bit of black

What kind of music do you like? Music without words, mostly. Or music with words that I can't understand.
What are your goals? To have more relationships that aren't virtual or telephonal. To make up another job for myself or get paid for teaching Alexander Technique more often. ( A.T. is how to unlearn what you taught yourself to do by accident.) To write faster, (probably learning easyscript) To make more art, (of my own.) To get paid for graphic recording at events - (it's a combo of a sort of mind-mapping and note-taking.) To play the array mbira more often.

Who are your heroes? Living? Mr. Natural & his Biz partner, (really, he's a real person) Barbara Sher, Edward de Bono, Elese Coit (someone I met on Twitter) & my new house mate

What kind of sports are you into? Floating in the sea looking at sea life, hiking at night, gossiping ;o) I don't watch TV
Do you have any piercings? Not even on my ears, and I'm female
Left hand or right handed? Mostly right, but I can juggle well enough to pass clubs and learn all new skills left-handed
Any tattoo's? Yeah, one I drew myself of a horse. Faded now, but I redraw on it regularly to turn it into other sorts of animals.
What is your favorite website? www.enjoysthin.gs.com or my own site: www.franis.org
Playing any computer or console games if so which ones? Mahjong, Spider solitaire, three decks (ducks) But I play them on my Linux box, at least...
Married? Don't believe in marriage, so far anyway /b]
Have kids? No, have lousy genes.
What languages do you speak? Well, English and enough Espanol to know what people are talking about, but not enough to know what they're saying about it. Would like to learn another, but not sure which one. Maybe sign language. /b]
How many keys are on your keyring? multiple key rings. My house is an ancient cowboy bunkhouse that has 9 locking doors!
What is your favorite beverage? Chai tea, with almost as much milk in it as tea
What is your hair color? Reddish dark blonde - all 45 inches of it Welcome to CH Frani. Hope that you enjoy your time here. And yes, by all means stick around. overthehillwelcome to CH frani stay with us by all means , harryThanks Harry and Overthehill - it's nice to be HANGIN' out with smartiepant peopleHi an8el (or should I just call you Frani?)

Welcome and have a good day, hopefully you'll find something useful on your stay here at CH Either name will do. My last name is pronounced "Angel". That name is so common and so often already someone else has taken it everywhere I go, so I came up with the variation which is usually available. Invented it since I write my "g"s like figure eights.

My first name is actually "Franis," but that is so often read as "Francis" that I just use "Frani" to make it not so TRICKY for people.

So that answer is - either one - whichever is easier for you to type.

What shall I call you, 2x3i5x?

Didn't realize I was starting a new thread with my intro by changing the subject heading...

Mike is fine. Or you can call me 2x3i5x if that's what you would like. Quote from: 2x3i5x on June 25, 2010, 10:53:38 AM

Mike is fine. Or you can call me 2x3i5x if that's what you would like.

2x3i5x sounds better and is easier to say use his full name, Complex Polynomial. so Mike's nickname is 2x3i5x and his Nicholas Name is Complex Polynomial.Quote from: an8el on June 25, 2010, 06:07:17 PM

so Mike's nickname is 2x3i5x and his Nicholas Name is Complex Polynomial.

well I guess if that's how you guys want to say it.

I'm no math genius anyway ...Mr. Complex Polynomial, you are obviously a proud devotee of the religion of Humblism.

So, where are you guys all located? I'm on the Big Island of Hawaii... the northern end.

Just now I'm going to be taking a walk to look at the southern eclipse in about ten minutes, (since I'm awake at 1:30am.)

2092.	Solve : Schroedinger's Cat?
Answer» Hi anyone I am SO! lets talk Quantum physics. you may wanna read this before anything http://www.lassp.cornell.edu/ardlouis/dissipative/Schrcat.html So.... we have this chart Which explains a bit so far. and this A cat is placed in a box, together with a radioactive atom. If the atom decays, and the geiger-counter detects an alpha particle, the hammer hits a flask of prussic acid (HCN), killing the cat. The paradox lies in the clever coupling of quantum and CLASSICAL domains. Before the observer opens the box, the cat's fate is tied to the wave function of the atom, which is itself in a superposition of decayed and undecayed states. Thus, said Schroedinger, the cat must itself be in a superposition of dead and alive states before the observer opens the box, ``observes'' the cat, and ``collapses'' it's wave function. So I just started reading. so basically if the geiger-counter detects an alpha particle A hammer hits poison and kills the cat? Ill keep reading... So basically the cats live is stunned at life and death? and it takes energy from the human eye to fully kill the cat? Or is it opening the box that kills it? Discuss.Do you study quantum physics? I only have secondary school physics from a useless teacher (~high school? Not sure) but I do know a little of this subject from fact-based science fiction and other materials. As I understand it . . . If the atom decays, which could theoretically happen at any time, the Geiger counter will detect it. This then activates a hammer, which releases the prussic acid, killing the cat. Someone outside the box will not know what has happened, therefore it is unknown whether the atom has decayed, and therefore whether the cat is alive or dead. This principle is based on the theory that something must be observed in order to happen, so it is neither the energy from the human eye (none) nor opening the box that kills the cat or shows it to be alive, it is the fact of being observed. When there are multiple states something could be in, and it has not yet been observed, that is a superposition - it is in both states at once, until observed. The theory then goes further, to say that everything not observed is in a superposition of all possible states, unless or until there exists some entity that can observe the entire universe at once, as well as any parallel universes or dimensions that may exist that could have an impact on this universe. Only then would everything be fixed into one state. Anyway, that's how I understand it, I could be wrong and hopefully someone here has a better understanding than me.thats how I understanded it.Tha cat always escapes from the box way before the radioactive atom decays...thus the box now has an opening and after the atom decays and the hammer hits the vial RELEASING the prussic acid. Therefore the first Human who comes along and CURIOSITY gets the best of him he is killed from examining the box.... This is how i understand it. P.S. This theory is what i used to disprove the old notion that "Curiosity killed the Cat" BACK in 1977. All Rights Reserved.this is how i understand it. (see below) [file cleanup - saving space - attachment deleted by admin]WELL I DON'T UNDERSTAND ITThe premise, conclusion, and dichotomy of Schroedinger's Cat is that the cat is both alive and dead at the same time. It's an age old paradox without a definitive solution. And why is this here in the first place (by a non-member)?If i recall correctly he left right after my analysis...A good article on the subject.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schr%C3%B6dinger%27s_cat There are several books on the subject available on Amazon, like "Searching for Schroedinger's Cat" which I read several years ago and recommend if any one really WANTS to find out more about this subject.

Rex did lumber around like an elephant because of his SIZE, and not like in the movies, but a lot the other dinosaurs were as big or even bigger, which according to this logic would have made them even slower. It reminds me of the old joke (really old) of two hunters being chased by a bear. The first hunter turns to the other hunter and says I don't think we can out run the bear.
