It is tough to be a masochist and a smoker -- one cannot decide
|
|
whether to smoke another cigarette and damage his body more, or quit to
|
|
suffer the pains of withdrawal.
|
|
|
|
Creating a product means you must prove its value to consumers and
|
|
then insure distribution so those consumers can get the product.
|
|
|
|
How many miles does your car have? How many of those were useful?
|
|
How many were spent driving down beautiful wooded lanes?
|
|
|
|
Well that's beautiful for _you_!
|
|
|
|
If life is one great mystery, there must be _someone_ who will solve
|
|
it. Think about certain questions regarding anything and certain rational
|
|
answers will surface -- think about those answers, combine them, and there
|
|
will be more questions. Eventually these questions will be answered, and
|
|
so on...
|
|
|
|
Italic means italian, italian means European.
|
|
|
|
So if there's a black hole at the center of the galaxy, are we
|
|
getting pulled closer and closer? Is it like our planet is being
|
|
flushed down the galactic toilet? How soon until we go down the drain?
|
|
|
|
There is some sort of inherent charm in finding use for something
|
|
that is old. Doing tomorrow's homework in a 25 year old notebook. Doing
|
|
this homework with your grandpa's old pen.
|
|
|
|
I like my old coat.
|
|
|
|
Find it necessary to show ultimate disgust.
|
|
|
|
One form of proof that you are a computer nerd: if you are reading
|
|
a book and see a hyphen -- a connected double-dash -- and think "double
|
|
alt-136".
|
|
|
|
So everything as we know it is a world. The world is a world, each
|
|
person is a world, a cup of juice is a world, a software program is a
|
|
world. All are interchangeable. Perhaps my world is a cup of juice, while
|
|
yours is a software program. And in your world, you are in a for-loop.
|
|
Everything keeps repeating until a certain variable reaches a certain
|
|
value. Then you will exit the for-loop. But where will you go from there?
|
|
That could be the end of your program. Or your for-loop could be followed
|
|
with another for-loop, in which you will be stuck for a predefined or
|
|
dynamic amount of time.
|
|
|
|
And my cup of juice is a software program. It has a few sparse
|
|
statements encapsulated in its ceramic shell. Its for-loop states that
|
|
|
|
FOR Juice = Full TO Empty STEP -1
|
|
|
|
in BASIC. So it is stuck in this loop until its juice is all gone.
|
|
Then it exits the loop, at which time the cup would be refilled, therefore
|
|
entering another for-loop, or it will be put away, its execution complete.
|
|
|
|
And a world, therefore could be completely expressed in a
|
|
meticulously detailed software program. A fairly basic moment in a calm
|
|
day may involve breathing, blinking, sitting, watching TV. Take into
|
|
account all the stumuli in this world-view. Code them into the program,
|
|
and viola, two worlds collide.
