I've been playing with this product for several hours. I tried reducing my Windows 98 to just 12 megabytes of sleek OS, then turned off Virtual Memory altogether after adding some more SDRAM to my embedded system. It worked like a charm. 90% of the fluff of Windows is gone, the ceaseless RAM spooling is gone and I replaced massive resources hogs like Adobe Reader with this lean PDF-reading machine. I gave it a scratch area on the Disk-On-Chip for file compression operations.
Now I am trying once again to get the runtime for .NET working at a decent speed. If I can cram all of this plus Firebird database into a 128 mb flash disk for the initial boot I will have a nigh perfect version of Windows OS with the reliability that Bill Gates forgot. This means I will be able to develop on my good machine in C# and port the executable onto the flash ram for testing.

"THE SILENT CITY" : Awesome P.A. Short!
One of my favorite post-apocalyptic shorts for many years.
I reckon this movie is about a terminator bot with some great A.I. just patrolling around looking for nasty humans infesting his grid sector. You watch it and tell me what you think it is about.

Paul Craig Roberts : Oh, Itz Coming To Be Sure
You have to appreciate the fact I made the exact same arguments nine years ago and predicted the exact same outcome of the 'Kwa "ballistic missile defense program."
... and people wonder why I have Cassandra Complex.
Oprah Hates Men and Would Like To Destroy The Human Race
Nietszche was right. A woman without a child will lose her mind in her twilight years. Oprah is becoming a really severely disturbed person as she gets older.
Every day, around the clock, this lesbian prevert psychopath broadcasts any and all stories about how evil males are, how stupid they are and how laughable they are. In fact, if males were 1% as bad as she has been saying for the past twenty years, one of them would walk onto her set while she was in mid-sentence, drag her weak ass off by the hair and put her to work in the nearest massage parlor in the towel laundry.
She enjoys her wealth and influence precisely because males are pricked into submission by suggestions they are not fulfilling their own moral codes and statutes. Without this sensitive conscience, nigras like this sterile mammy would still be in the fields pulling up cotton. It was males who first grew angry enough to clamor for abolition. Males who were almost manic about the notion that everyone should be treated equally by the law. At home in Oprah's beloved "native" country, a woman is raped every 6 seconds and her rapist will never be prosecuted. Males in this nation will not live with lawlessness. It goes against their basic ingrained nature. Nobody teaches us these things. Unlike women, there is a kind of virtue burned into the biology of the European male that is not learned from church or books. That's why everybody fights to get into nations where we are the majority.
Missing from Oprah's show : several hundred million men each day who continue to hold the ever weakening thin line between civilization and anarchy. It's a losing battle. They fight it anyway because they are white guys. It's just how God saw fit to make them. Beautiful losers slugging it out to the end trying to keep a roof over the heads of their children, food in everyone's mouths and their wife with enough leisure time to sit down and watch Oprah.

Amerikwa Always Has The Best Fake Opposition That Money Can Buy
Jerry Rubin was pushed to the front as a clown to discredit the anti-war movement because senior officials were worried the ideas were becoming too mainstream.
The same things are happening right now with 9-11. Notice the media only allows airtime to guys who also claim we never landed on the moon and Nazis did.
It doesn't actually take all that much brains to play this good cop/bad cop game. I'm sure if you'll think carefully you will remember someone in your workplace who has done this almost unconsciously in tandem with another person in order to get their agenda accepted. Governments only do it on a broader scale.

Ghost Cities of 2100
Entertaining summary of many of the most interesting ruins around the world and possibly their counterparts a hundred years from now.
In their heyday, each and every one of them seemed to be the center of the world, the economic hub of the planet, the locus of the entire universe. Each in turn claimed by the sands and the wind.

Ultimate Emergency Lighting System For Vaults
I've been following this stuff long enough to be confident it is not a hoax or a boondoggle. I just wish they'd hurry up and start selling this product. I am not kidding, I will velcro as much of this stuff as I can afford on every available surface in the shelter once it becomes available.
There are two problems in shelters that are extremely serious that very few people know about unless they have tried to inhabit an underground structure for an extended period.
The first is humidity, it's really the mother of all problems where humans are concerned.
The second is absolute darkness. There have been times when the lighting system has gone out inside Firehold Bravo that have even scared me. The silence and total blackout is unnerving after a very short period, although it can be adapted to. I have been on the verge of panic a few times when not only the primary power failed but the blue light system too, followed by my headlamp or flashlight malfunctioning/flickering on and off. The effect on women and children could be really severe I imagine. After ten minutes in these surroundings, your mind will play tricks on you and I say that as someone whose mind normally never plays tricks on him. You will begin to fabricate the illusion you see lights somewhere. This may frighten you and it feeds into your irrational dread of darkness. Within a very short time, you will start to think there is someone else there with you who is completely silent. Your conscious mind knows it's just the lack of stimulus to your brain but it's still quite hard to adjust to. I recently mounted a couple tritium lights around the shelter to try to fix this problem.
I cannot tell you what a relief it would be to have glowing panels which never go out, never fail and never turn off, no matter what the situation. A fantastic addition to any Vault, without question. The company claims these panels will be incredibly cheap, as well.

Modern People Don't Make Sense At Any Level
Every single writer on the subject from Gibbons to Spengler has written that a return to barbarism without the martial virtues is part of the journey from freedom back into bondage for a civilization that is declining. It is the fool who has never been a soldier who only thinks of some mythical glory that is obtainable from the horror of war. There is glory in defending your country but no glory at all to be found in war.
Tampering and covert intervention ends, Dow resumes fall
Civilized people don't become less vicious. They become more so. Having no personal experience with the horrors of warfare, famine or death, they think little of encouraging their military to deal as much out to whomsoever is the villain of the hour. It is not even an abstraction to them. After two generations without direct experience of war, so-called civilized people become the nastiest and cruelest human beings of them all. They take delight in reports of the suffering of people whom they shall never meet and think nothing of directing their neurotic aggression at targets that obviously pose no threat of any kind to them. It is civilized people which enact the worst atrocities against women and children and often at the end of a society you will find the military doing nothing but expending it's rage against the unarmed and the non-combatant. They lose the military virtues but the grotesque cruelty of their animal nature is more inflamed than ever.
Weak nations cannot tolerate free speech, they are like the sick who require a dark room
Excuses will be created in Denver to use these precursors to much worse coming
In doing these things, they inevitably draw down aggression on themselves again from another quarter, incapable of learning from history, as insensible as beasts, slaves of their most venal drives and instincts. It is in their reckless use of force that they create the very conditions by which they and their civilization will be eradicated. This was true of the Greeks, of the Romans and of Germany and a thousand other nations. To swell yourself up leads invariably to being popped. It is always right before a nation is destroyed that it declares itself eternal, immortal and invulnerable. To be an empire means to be in your nadir. Healthy and vibrant nations with a destiny of their own do not seek empire, only societies with their institutions full of sociopaths.
Torture capital of the world tortures off-shore to avoid own Constitution
The coming complete isolation of Amerisrael
The Mother of all Wars is coming soon
You would find few barbarians in the history of the world who had sunk so low as modern man. Even a barbarian might have some principles and some honor but consumer units have less than nothing at all. In this way the natural cycle of death and destruction could be regarded as cleansing. It clears the stage of history for another people to prove themselves worthy of God's grace. The 'Kwan is a child of hell and God does not hear the prayers of such creatures. It can honestly be said of the 'Kwa that it has run it's course and it's good days are long behind it.

Vault-Co Predicts 2009: The Silence Of The Cold
Next up. We've been predicting another Ice Age for 7 years. We have never committed to a date.
Vault-Co says the winter of 2009, incidentally arriving with the worst economic crash in human history in America, will be the start of Ice Age II. Agricultural failures and food prices will soar and even the dumbest globowarmthers will start to get it. It's the Maunder Minimum. Not something you read about in a book. Right now.
