HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT

2011-11-22T10:38:00.004Z

Sean Bluett says.....HELL EXPLAINED BY A CHEMISTRY STUDENT

The following is an actual question given on a University of
*Washington *chemistry
mid-term.

The answer by one student was so 'profound' that the professor shared it
with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the
pleasure of enjoying it as well :

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets
to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how
many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that
exist in the world today.

Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their
religion, you will go to Hell. Since there is more than one of these
religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can
project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are,
we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now,
we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law
states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the
same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all
Hell breaks loose.

2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year
that, 'It will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you,' and take
into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number two
must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already
frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen
over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore,
extinct......leaving only Heaven, thereby proving the existence of a divine
being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting 'Oh my God.'

Global Warming is a myth :D

Using Custom Vars on Google Analytics

2010-05-04T16:37:00.002+01:00

Sean Bluett says.....

Here's quick tip for GA. Ever wanted a break down of user activity based on user type or even user id?
You can add any type of custom variable to each google page load.
You can then view the break down using custom reports or just browse through your dash board.

Read more ... http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/gaJS/gaJSApiBasicConfiguration.html#_gat.GA_Tracker_._setCustomVar

If you used this on JOOMLA site you can just use JFACTORY to get the current user data like user type, user name etc. and then send it to GA with each page.
Make sure you set the varaible scope! but you can read all about that in the API

try {
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXXXX");

/**Begin custom**/
ffGaUserIdTrackedSuccess = pageTracker._setCustomVar( 1, "UserId", ffGaUserId , 1 );
 console.log("Return value for _setCustomVar using " + ffGaUserId + " is " + ffGaUserIdTrackedSuccess);
  /**END  custom**/


pageTracker._trackPageview();
} catch(err) {}

Crockford on JavaScript: The Complete Series

Douglas Crockford is a senior JavaScript architect at Yahoo!, and is a writer and speaker on JavaScript, JSON, and related web technologies.

He has a degree in Radio and Television from San Francisco State University.[1]

Crockford is well known for his work in introducing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON). He has also worked on the computerization of media at Atari, Lucasfilm, and Paramount. He became something of a cult figure on videogame oriented listservs in the early 1990s after he posted his memoir "The Expurgation of Maniac Mansion" to a videogaming bulletin board; the memoir documented his efforts to censor the computer game Maniac Mansion to Nintendo's satisfaction so that they could release it as a cartridge, and Crockford's mounting frustrations as Nintendo's demands became more obscure and confusing.[2]

Together with Randy Farmer and Chip Morningstar Crockford founded Electric Communities and was its CEO from 1993 to 2001. He was involved in the development of the programming language E.

Getting around Eircom and into Pirate Bay

2009-09-03T17:02:00.000+01:00

Sean Bluett says.....

If you are a file sharer, and I'm not saying I am. It may be illegal or somethign like that, so do it at your own risk.

We all know Eircom, nazis that they are, have blocked pirate bay but others around the world believe in personal freedom and have provided a way around them. You can use a proxy server.

There is even a few web sites that will let you use theirs ... http://www.freeproxyserver.net/# for example.

Word of warning.. be careful about entering sensitive information though these web sites as they can be read by the provider.

Wireless power system shown off

2009-07-24T08:43:00.001+01:00

Sean Bluett says.....

Groovy !

A system that can deliver power to devices without the need for wires has been shown off at a hi-tech conference.

The technique exploits simple physics and can be used to charge a range of electronic devices.

Eric Giler, chief executive of US firm Witricity, showed mobile phones and televisions charging wirelessly at the TED Global conference in Oxford.

He said the system could replace the miles of expensive power cables and billions of disposable batteries. Read the full article on BBC
