Good Quote

Do not confuse ‘DUTY’ with what other people expect of you; They are utterly different. Duty is a debt you owe yourself to fullfill obligations you have assumed voluntarily. Paying that debt can entail anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die. Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect. But there is no reward at all for doing what other people expect of you, and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible. It is easier to deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants ‘just a few minutes of your time, please –this won’t take long.’ Time is your total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few. If you allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests, they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up 100 percent of your time — and squawk for more! So learn to say NO — and be rude about it when necessary. Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your duty, or to do your own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness. The termites will nibble away for life and leave none of it for you. ( This rule does not mean that you must not do a favor for a friend, or even for a stranger. But let the choice be yours. Don’t do it because it is ‘expected’ of you.)” – Lazarus Long

Mafia Wars Collections, Collection Items, Strategy, Leveling Guide, and Add List

In the facebook version of Mafia Wars, collections sets of items that drop randomly while doing jobs. Each collection is tied to a specific job tier (i.e. soldier, enforcer, hitman, etc.) and the items from each collection a chance to drop when doing jobs of the corresponding tier. When you collect a full set, you can “vault” the items (an option under the inventory tab) for a permanent stat bonus.

Here is a list of the collections available in Facebook’s Mafia Wars and the rewards available for collecting each set of items:

JEDI MIND TRICK DO YOU CAN

By DON KAPLAN

THE Force can be with anyone now.

Later this summer, anybody anywhere will have the ability to physically move stuff with their minds like characters do in “Star Wars.”

No joke.

A new toy that harnesses the same technology doctors use to monitor brain waves will arrive in stores in August. The toy moves when it senses a change in the user’s brain-wave patterns.

“It’s pretty cutting-edge,” says, Frank Adler, executive vice president of Uncle Milton, the toy company that manufactures the “Star Wars”-branded Force Trainer. “It certainly appears to be where things are headed.”

It will be if the reaction from 5-year-old “Star Wars” fanatic Ryan Mogg is any indication. Mogg tried out the Force Trainer at a recent “Star Wars” toy fair. In less than a minute, he was controlling the rise and fall of a pingpong ball in a clear tube — with his brain waves.

“It’s like what Obi-Won Kenobi and Darth Maul do!” he said afterward with a big grin.

Scientists call the technology BCI, or Brain Computer Interface, and more sensitive, medical-grade versions are used to help amputees move artificial limbs and victims of paralysis communicate using a computer and software that reacts thought.

A recent episode of the medical drama “House” about a patient suffering from locked-in syndrome (a condition in which the victim of a brain injury is aware and awake but cannot move or communicate) featured a similar device.

The Force Trainer, expected to sell for about $120, is not medical-grade hardware, but it uses a headset to monitor the brain, and then transmits a signal to a base that features a fan and a ball in a tube.

The headset is calibrated to sense beta waves, a specific type of brain waves associated with concentration. When you focus, the headset reads the electrical pattern from inside your head and sends a signal to a microchip that switches on the fan in the base unit and levitates the pingpong in a clear tube.

The more intense the focus and concentration, the faster the fan spins and the quicker the ball rises. When concentration is broken or weak, the ball drops.

A computer chip programmed with the voice of Yoda the Jedi master guides users through several increasingly different levels of control.

Another mind toy, Mattel’s Mind Flex, uses the same mind-bending technology to guide a ball through a series of obstacles. It will be available in the fall.

“The mind sends signals to the body all the time,” says Tansy Brook, spokeswoman for Neurosky, the company that simplified and shrunk the technology to fit inside the toys. “But for many people this is the first time you can see it sending a signal to things outside body, and it’s really just a matter of learning what kind of feeling you need to have in your brain to make things happen.

“The application and modification of the technology is cutting-edge,” says Brook, “but its history and roots are based in something very familiar — EEGs.”

Scientists have been studying electroencephalography, or EEG — the recording of electrical activity along the scalp produced by the firing of neurons within the brain — since 1890. The technology has been used for medical applications for roughly 60 years, but this is the first time it’s become widely available and affordable.

What has happened to VisionTek over the years

ok i have to get this off my chest and you dont really have to sit here and listen to me rant but, but damn what happen to VisionTek over the years?

OK… so the dealio is I went on TigerDirect and bought

Visiontek Radeon X1650 Pro Video Card – 512MB DDR2, PCI Express, CrossFire Ready, Dual DVI, HDTV, Video Card

got the card by UPS in sufficient time of ordering ( BTW TigerDirect is awesome and have hand minimal complications with them) broke open the box of the card within hour of recieving it and popped it in. Worked beautifully for almost 3 months and then started to notice random reboots on the PC. So looking over the PC noticed that 2 of the 3 screws holding the fan to the card had came out and fallen to the floor of the case, :O and the fan was all discombobulated ( hehe that word is awesome too BTW). SO i call them up and go through their whole speel and do everything that is asked and *POOF* 2½ monthst later recieve the replacement card by UPS.. thinking to myself at this time thank god thats over.  NOT!!!! 3 almost 4 monthst after installing the replacement card in the system just randomly rebooted one night while playin Sims 3 and upon tryin to reboot the motherboard is now giving a video error beep code :(   called them up and they said it was my motherboard.. (which i know different) so just to humor them i call up ASUS and ask what the code meant and even let the tech listen to the beep code over the phone and he said it was A VIDEO ERROR BEEP CODE. I knew I was right damn it.  Oh and when i try to start the system the fan on the replacement card doesnt even kick up. Tried to manually move the fan and it is stiff which means its the fan that went and probably over heat the GPU ( Graphic Processing Unit ).  Ok right back to the story, so now i call them back and tell em it wasnt the motherboard that its their crappy card and the replacement at that.

So to cut this short.. Now i have to go through the whole speel again and not looking forward to it .

I mean come on REALLY again?

otherwise what happened to VisionTek?
