Thank you Mr. Hankis for your service to professional journalism.

You don't need to edit me at all to make me look like a radical left-wing bozo. Left-Right, Liberal-Conservative: Hegalian Dialectics. Two supposed opposites that are not opposite at all.

Peace in the Middle East!

I talked to Kevin about his absence from the beaver. He said he's been busy keeping the world safe for real journalism.

yo man.

I did abuse my power to edit;

i altered a ton of your past posts, and made you look like a radical left-wing bozo.

take a look see.

That's all for now. I've got Java Networking homework I need to work on. I'll be back later.

Rogue state is right. And most Americans have no clue the far-reaching effects that their Gubbament has on the globe.

This fake War on Terrorism, propagandized by weekly reports of an impending "spectacular event" of terrorism, is nothing if not a vehicle for mass mind control. And it is working perfectly.

If only people would understand who the real terrorists are, they would be shocked.

When that next event comes, fellow beavers, know that it is our goverment behind it.

9-11 was a massive conspiracy that set this whole agenda is overdrive. Saddam is our puppet that we left in power to fullfill furthur plans that the people behind King Bush II is orquestrating. Osama and the whole Al Queda was trained by American special forces and funded by the CIA, NSA, et. al.

THEY KNOW that Saddam would NEVER attack Israel or America because that would give the USA an excuse to annilihate Babylon (Iraq). And the satanists in power would love that.

Everybody in the entire population of Islam is demonically posessed. Some guy on Radio Liberty said that this is what Salman Rushdie inferred in his book, The Satanic Verses, that got him in trouble in Iran.

Oh boy. I hear a LOT of anti-Islamic talk lately because of this War of Terrorism. It really bothers me.

My goal is to drive Monica insane. I know you hate it when I talk politics, Moni. Get a load of THIS!

This is a non-stop Blog-a-thon weekend, and I am your host, MK-ULTRA.

You heard me. Yeah, I said it. And you will notice, Michael, that you no longer can edit other people's posts. Do you believe me now?

Boyee!

We created Saddam, we created Osama, and we must deal with reality, not simply the black-and-white Republican fantasy of us vs. them, good vs. evil.

George Bush, truly a divider, not a uniter.

There is a reason that the Democrats do not put up much of a fight against the extreme right-wing Republican agenda that is being pushed by the White House:

It would mean a fight. A real knock-down, drag-out, ugly, bitter, country-splitting fight.

The Democrats are such spineless wimps that they are afraid of being called (erroneously) a Communist, a terrorist, or unpatriotic.

Not to mention that they are up against a unelected draconian regime.

Also, the murder of Paul Wellstone sends a clear message to outspoken liberals. "Go against our agenda and you will be targeted for 'removal'." And the Democrats are acutely aware of this.

what is brown and sticky?







a stick

I don't believe you.

bang bang

Mike, you just lost your admin privelidges. You did not abuse them while you had the chance. I own your admin privelidges.

Where is Kevin Hankis, reporter at large?

I am going to post the entire contents of my hard drive online. Who will stop me? That way if my computer crashes, which I own, I will have a copy online.

Fluffy bunnies? Who can match me in blogging? I own this blog.

I hate it when gamers say that. When playing online games, there is always a group of players who play purely to show that they are better, stronger, craftier, and more GODLIKE than every other player. These players are called dorks. Players who wanna be dorks say stuff like, "I own _____." ______ could be you after they kill your character, or a virtual house they bought with fantasy money. It is a power trip. Try it. Your ego gets bigger just saying it.
Tell someone you "own" them. Pick up a video or a coffee cup and say to it, "I own you." But say it with emphisis on own.

New World Order. New World Order. New World Order.

Here is some more fun with Dragon Naturally Speaking. Perfect reason not to spend your money on it. Or the perfect reason to spend your money on it. I report, you decide. This is good stuff folks. And I'm giving it to you for free. Read on.

This is the coolest bucking software ever seen 1 uses going on duty that suck up all I did all right I dig it would see my name is suck a my name is Rob Gay and Dan one of the axial business on foot ago locked their sit back somewhere as I must suck a year what ever.

I am the law and whose going is take your pass.

She sells seashells down by the seashore.
Why did she sells seashells down by the seashore? Well, you ask, and I tell you: I don't know why.

I am the world's fattest man.

Booker T. is the five-time world champion. He is the tallest black man I've ever seen to be spinnerooni. Soon, he will be the sixth time world champion. At the moment, he is punching the rock in the back. But the Rock will not take that shit for long. He's the about the Rock Bottom Booker T.'s candy ass.

The small bear ran across the woods, naked as a jaybird. When he saw at all things were possible he almost fell to his knees in prayer.

Let me know if I am forgetting anything.

I'm taking blogging to the next level.

Here is a another document I found, which I created when I was messing around with Dragon Naturally Speaking Voice Recognition software last fall. Enjoy.

The Dark Knight rose from the dark night. She sells sea shells down by the seashore of life. What do I have to do make you love me? With a cold stare, he ran through the night like a bucking horse bleeding from his eyes.

Hello Sally, how are you doing today? Me? I'm doing great. Thanks for asking.

So, I've heard you got a new job in a sewage factory cleaning shit off the floor and ceiling.

How come and takes so long just to mess around with Dragon NaturallySpeaking? It seems that I've spent all weekend fucking around, sitting of the basement, staring at the ceiling, and staring at the screen. Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near? Some guys have all the luck. Some guys have all the pain. Some guys get all the babes. Some guys do nothing but complain. I am going to ask you once. I'm not going to ask you nicely. I'm going to slap you in the cock, hit you in the nose, and backhand your bitch wife. To the ghostly ghouls and goblins of the night, I tell you this: (you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you may be happy once guys are gray) you'll never know dear how much I love you please don't take my sunshine away.

Here is a some info on compression and file formats.

Describe the following compressed data formats:
AVI, GIF, TIFF, JPEG, MPEG-1,2,4, RealAudio
What type of applications each one is good for?
Common file formats are needed to transfer audio, video, and images between distributed systems. Coding in a binary file format

AVI (Audio/Video Interleave) - In AVI, picture and sound elements are stored in alternate interleaved chunks.

GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) - GIF was developed by CompuServe in 1987, with later features including interlacing, conspiracy, or an animation. Interlaced GIF displays images in two passes of alternating lines instead of loading them one of the time. Transparent GIF lets the background show through selected parts of image.
GIF is losing popularity due to the JPEG format when it comes to photos. Guess images are limited to 256 colors, JPEG can contain up to 16 million colors, and they look almost as good as a photograph.

TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) - a format for high-resolution bitmap images.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) - ISO standard for still image coding; lossy compression and low complexity. The graphic format used most often to compress still images of complex pictures and photographs.
Two graphics compression techniques: lossy and lossless. Lossless techniques throw away redundant bits of information without affecting the quality of the image. Lossy techniques crunch files down smaller, but they lose image quality of the process.

MPEG (Moving Picture Experts Groups) - MPEG is a generic means of compactly representing digital video and audio signals. It is one of the standards for the compression and coding of motion video for CDs in digital storage. MPEG converts analog video signals into compressed video files. Because MPEG uses sophisticated compression techniques, compared to other audio and video and coding formats MPEG files are much smaller.
MPEG is a standard for compressing sound and movie files into an attractive format for downloading, or even streaming, across the Internet.

The MPEG-1 standard streams video and sound data at 150 kilobytes per second--the same rate as a single speed CD-ROM drive--which it manages by taking key frames of video and filling only the areas that change between the frames. Unfortunately, MPEG-1 produces only adequate quality video, far below that of standard TV. The standard in which Video CD and MP3 are based.

MPEG-2 compression improves things dramatically. With MPEG-2, a properly compressed video can be shown at the laserdisc clarity with a CD quality stereo soundtrack. For that reason, modern video delivery mediums, such as digital satellite services and DVD, use MPEG-2. The MPEG-2 video standard is used to transmit data in Hughes Electronics direct-satellite broadcast system DirectTV in the USA. Also the standard in which Digital Television set-top boxes and DVD are based.

MPEG-4 - the next generation of standard video and audio compression techniques.

Macintosh QuickTime - developed by Apple Computer, QuickTime is a method for storing sound, graphics, and movie files.

RealAudio - RealAudio uses a compression/decompression algorithm to convert analog sound signals into digitized sound.

Windows Media - Microsoft's multimedia decoder.

Here is what a java networking program looks like, in case you were wondering.

/* Begin with the 33 ASCII character (the first for loop), then print out 72
sorted ascending ASCII characters (the second for loop), a line feed, and

*/
for (int i = 33; i < 56; i++ )
{

c = i;

for ( int j = 0; j < 72; j++)
{
out.write(c);

Now that I got that off my chest, how was everyone's week? Very busy here. Two jobs and school. Being involved in Campus Greens is a joy as well. What a great bunch of friends I have made, both at UIS and in Springfield.

I called Louis Rumpf this evening, or Uncle Lou as we call him. I am named after him. My sister is named after his wife, our grandmother's sister, Julie. Julie has since passed away and now Lou is having lung problems after a lifetime of smoking and working in the restaurant/bar industry. He is still an amazingly vibrant man. He reminded me of Kojak when I met him in Auburn, New York, where many of the Komanecky's have lived and died. It is difficult to communicate with relatives who and not good at communicating. I will find a way to establish a better relationship with my family, but it is not going to be easy.

Mike, I am planning on coming to Bloomington Wednesday afternoon. Plan on hanging out if you are free.

Joe, what is going on at work or home lately? You are our state insider, you know. Spill the secrets. I am told to expect changes and an influx of Democrats in Springfield.

Matt, what the fuck?

Monica, how's the love life? What about your family or your work? Which Maher is getting married or is pregnent this month? Do you even have time in your busy life to think?

Steve, what up dude?

Angus, are you still there?

The more this world gets scarier and frightening, the more also beauty and love grows in opposition. This is the nature of our very polarized era. This is why I throw up my hands and say, "Great! Fine! I couldn't be happier!" when I hear that Homeland Security (the musical chairs style shuffling of existing bureaucracies, and union-buster) is going to be passed shortly and that we should sacrifice our consitutional rights for "security."

I stopped worrying and have learned to love the bomb.

I am not satisfied with the official information that has been given surrounding the 9-11 event. Thousands of anomolies surround every facet of this world changing event. Why? Who benefits? How many players were really involved? To what extent are drugs, money, oil and gas involved? How much "prior knowlegde" did our government and its security agencies have? Why the stand down of fighter jets by NORAD, which are deployed through Standard Operating Procedure in the event of a hijacking. Who were the hijackers? What were there motives? Why were government officials from many countries warned not to fly during September? Why did the Pakistani Intelligence Agency pay Mohammud Atta $100,000? What is the story surrounding OBL's CIA connection? Why did the trans-Afghanistan pipeline go back online within days of the first October bombings in Afghanistan? Why was there an strange volume of stock trading on September 10th (the amount of transactions in stocks in American Airlines, United Airlines, and insurance companies, increased 1,200%)? Why no ambiguity in the official story? Why is contradictory evidence not even being considered, even if such evidence could produce a valid lead?

Questions, questions, questions...

no hangovers here. Thanks for thinking of me though Matt. About that tequila though, It did in fact make me puke. I got home and laid down and instantaneously was hit with the urge to throw up. That's when I know I had a good night of drinking. GO MONICA!!! and I don't think i was angry OR possessed last night.

Somebody has a hangover this morning...and it is Monica! Tequila is a bad bad thing. It possesses people, and makes them angry.

Matt Bright says,

"i posted something on there last week. It was not very serious. I am not good at being serious on things like that, but i would be willing to try. It's hard to jump into a conversation. Also, I need an invitation every time i write or else i need explicit instructions on how to get there. I hope that you caught my humor about the staying up and waiting thing. Well, talk to you soon. I'll be home over thanksgiving. See you at bruhaus? tee hee. Well, laters.

oh yeah, and i got a widescreen...yay!!"

I don't remember him posting anything. I love to hear from my friends. And for love's sake, this site is not meant to be as serious as Monica and Matt make it sound. Have either of you noticed the above beavers? Beaver = levity

They should ban human and embryonic cloning. That way, only mad scientists will be ones who create human clones and body parts.

Here is a heavy yet informative website, The Architecture Of Modern Political Power. Grab a cup of tea for this one, sit back and soak it in.

People don't need to be "managed." We should be free.
I would support a President who wants to be CFO - Chief Financial Officer.
CEO's hold stockprices and profits above all else. CEO's are beholden to Wall Street and shareholders, and could care less about making the world a better place or providing a service that would benefit mankind. This is why the pharmacuetical industry does not manufacture drugs that would eliminate diseases such as TB; there is no money in poor sick people. Plenty of money in manic-depressive subburbinites with social anxiety who can't get an erection and have allergies, though.
Is it any coincidence that Donald Rumfsfeld, United States Sectretary of Defense, was giving a speech last night at the FORTUNE CEO Global Forum? It should be clear where his, and by extension the Bush Regime's, loyalties lie.
That is the downside. The upside to this analogy is that we have a lot of celebrity CEO's that run various countries and are worshipped like Jack Welsh is. Would'nt it be great if CEO's of countries like Mexico and Germany merged there respective countries? Then Disney can buy Europe, and clean up the place. Instead of the Euro, it could be the Mickey.

what's wrong with running the country like a ceo?

i saw a book on bush today, and it compared g dub to a ceo of a major company.

I have my own thoughts on this subject. Just wondering what everybody else thinks about comparing the presidency to that of a ceo of a company?

As a newly converted faithful Republican, I admire Woody Allen for his courage in facing the criticism that goes with dating a younger woman.
I want to try Tofurky for my birthday (which is on Thanksgiving this year) or Christmas dinner this year. All this Turkey Talk is making me salivate.
[How can I fit buildings into this conversation...Oh, yeah]

Let's tell some fables, parables, or stories to each other. My choice today is the Three Little Pigs. The one where the Big Bad Wolf would huff, and puff and try to blow the little pigs' house down. He could blow the brick house down though. Is that the true meaning of that funk song by the Commodores?

More posts about buildings and food. don't worry about the government. become a republican and don't vote. what the world needs know is more republicans that don't vote.

It's obvious that you're still feeling guilt about throwing me in the pool Joe. That guilt is manifesting itself in your dreams, hence your inability to walk. The only way to resolve this is to offer an apology.

However, it's important to remember that I may not accept your apology, consequently your dream world may just be riddled with guilt until the end of your days.

So here we are back to Woody Allen. I knew that the man was a genius. I'm glad I don't eat turkey, I could be getting really hungry right now and then I would think back to the time when Mike was a turkey and I wouldn't be able to do it. You beavers have a wonderful week!
