I wish people would stop calling the toxic biological weapons, which Monsanto, Pioneer, and other “GMO” companies create, “GMOs”. They’re not. They’re bio-weapons. It’s bio-warfare. Here are just a few links to information about the insanity: http://www.activistpost.com/2012/01/leaked-us-to-start-trade-wars-with.html http://www.naturalnews.com/034246_BASF_GMOs.html For that last article, BASF is one of the companies that IG Farben was split into after WWII.… Continue reading GMOs are Bio-warfare: Let’s call them what they are!

Capital Hits in Travian
Capital hits in the online massively multiplayer online browser game (MMOBG) Travian aren’t to be taken lightly. Players always defend their capitals because they are very expensive to build. They’re expensive in terms of the time you need to invest, the resources in the game that you need to build them, and actual real money… Continue reading Capital Hits in Travian
Sources of Morality
Well, it’s Christmas, and it occurred to me that “what is right” and “what is wrong” are far too often more shades of gray than anything else. One of the only remotely sensible options is Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative. This has problems though, with the most often cited problem running along these lines: You’re living… Continue reading Sources of Morality
Renegade Slayer’s Travian Guide for Beginners: Being Farmed
Travian is an massively multi-player online browser war game. MMOBWG? Whatever. This guide is for new players that whine about being attacked.

A Win in MagicGem Challenge
Well, this is what a win in MagicGem looks like more or less. The level ends when 5 skulls hit the bottom. But, it’s impossible for any of the skulls to make it to the bottom, so effectively, it’s a win. The glowing gems can’t be destroyed except if you move them to destroy all… Continue reading A Win in MagicGem Challenge
On Propaganda and “Cun Map”
My wife and I had a funny incident today. Her nickname for me is “cun con” (Vietnamese for “puppy”), or “cun” for short. She also teases me about being fat (“map”). I always protest and it’s a fun game we play. Today though, she said, “cun map (fat puppy) will get some more work done,”… Continue reading On Propaganda and “Cun Map”
Opening Up OpenCandy
I’ve been involved in a discussion about OpenCandy over at DonationCoder. It’s kind of got a fair bit of fight in it as the topic is hot and the opposing sides are passionate about the issue. What’s the issue? Spyware. A few people have accused OpenCandy of being spyware. In the above post I briefly… Continue reading Opening Up OpenCandy
MIME Type vs. Actual Type
A while back I posted Internet Explorer Download Problem: “Unable to open this Internet Site” about how Internet Explorer doesn’t behave properly if the MIME type is set properly. Shortly after I upgraded Firefox and discovered that they had changed the behaviour for Firefox and things broke. I was serving up an EXE with a… Continue reading MIME Type vs. Actual Type
What I Want in Computing Devices
I know what I want in computing devices, and it’s not available. Anywhere. Nobody makes it. But everybody wants it. Not just me. But talking about a bunch of specific and whatnot is just boring, and analogies and comparisons are much easier. So… I want… Apple Style Yes. As much as I utter loathe Apple… Continue reading What I Want in Computing Devices
RDBMS Table Design in Excel?
I was just thinking about data mining relationships between atoms and chemical compounds, and about putting it all into a nice, neat RDBMS for that, when it occurred to me that I’m really not an expert in the field, and designing the database would require more knowledge than I have. However, in a process of… Continue reading RDBMS Table Design in Excel?
