Virtual Rape Is Traumatic, but Is It a Crime? Give me a break!

Who in the world would ever believe this. Virtual Rape? Are people so weak minded that text from a computer screen can be considered rape? The fear of what you can say and can not say to people is a big problem in the US, now we trying to make it a problem online. I think if people are so scared of words they might have bigger problems then "Virtual Rape", maybe they are so mentally unstable that they need physiological help. Second Life is a great idea for a game/online life... Its just sad that someone would think that there virtual world is real and treat it like one. Real Rape in the Real World is something to worry about, not silly online games where nothing is real. There digital bits that can be erased.... Not like real life where things are really embedded into a person mental health. Online life, I feel has effected people way to much, they cant tell the difference between whats happening online and whats happening in the real world.

WPF and Blend video FREE from lynda.com

I have been working with blend most every day now and there are still tons of little tricks to learn. The problem with blend is there is not enough documentation on how to use it efficiently.

Video Lectures From World's Leading And Prominent Scientists.

This link is a nice find so far, I have not watched any of the videos because I have been really busy.

Haha, They put a warning on the back of pirating the product....

Its too funny, the movie studios really need to watch there networks and products.. There never going to be able to secure there products anymore.... They just do not understand technology.

This is a insane story.

Using LINQ to solve puzzles

The Puzzle

Here's a puzzle similar to the one in the puzzle hunt. The diagram below is a bunch of weights (A-M) hanging from a system of bars. Each weight has an integer value between 1 and 13, and the goal is to figure out what each weight must be for the the diagram below to balance correctly as shown:

                          |
                        |
            +--+--+--+--+--+--+--+
            |                    |
            |                    |
         +--+--+--+--+--+        |
         |     L        M        |
         |                       |
+--+--+--+--+--+--+     +--+--+--+--+--+
H              |  I     |  J        K  |
               |        |              |
      +--+--+--+--+--+  |     +--+--+--+--+--+
      E              F  |     G              |
                        |                    |
            +--+--+--+--+--+  +--+--+--+--+--+--+

            A              B  C                 D

The rules for this kind of puzzle are: (1) The weights on either side of a given pivot point must be equal, when weighted by the distance from the pivot, and (2) a bar hanging beneath another contributes it's total weight as through it were a single weight. For instance, the bar on the bottom right must have 5*C=D, and the one above it must have 3*G=2*(C+D).

I think there approach is way too brute force, this it seems like a little set theory mixed in with some linear algebra and recursive decent would be able to solve this problem. More on it later, if I come up with my own solution.

Vista and Speech Recognition

When I get Vista installed and have some extra time, I would like to create an application that can recognize what news sites I would want to read and open them in IE or firefox. This doesnt seem to hard just takes a little time.

Old Art.

I found some old photography art I did of my ex-girlfriend from years ago. I wounder what she's up too now. I put this girl through hell, my life was a little crazy at that time.

ipsuid gets a blog!

I have been trying to get ipsuid to blog, and here it is. His hardware knowledge is amazing and he's always got a project brewing or working. It's also funny since I give him stuff I dont use any more and he turns it into something. One example was a monitor I had, I think he powers a lazor with it or something.

Lost Art Work

This is an oil painting of a street that I have stuck in my head. I have no idea where this street is since its an image from when I was a kid, one of those images that you never forget but also never know where they come from. This painting I and showed a dear friend of mine who loved it. So I just gave them the painting and I know they enjoy it.

Fun Math Facts.

I have to say my fav fact is the multiplication by 11.
Let b1, b2, .... , bn be the digits of a number, then

b1*11 = b_1b_1
b1b2*11=b1(b1+b2)b2
b1b2b3*11=b1(b1+b2)(b2+b3)b3
[...]
b1b2...bn*11=b1(b2+b3)....(bn-1 + bn)bn

This "fun fact" could be proved by induction.

Vector Fun

Here is a simple program to help you find the magnitude, dot product, 
cross product of 2 vectors of size 3, and the projection vectors of each.
This is nothing ground breaking, but it shows you how fast you can code
something like this up in python with out much work. Some sample output:

You did not enter a y/n so we exit anyways.
