Art,
>>For Example we know power surges and failures happen. We can't prevent them nor do we always know what caused them BUT we can arm ourselves with surge protectors and UPS (Universal Power Supplys) in the event of an outtage.<<

Umm.. its un-interruptable power supply The A in CIA is Availability or fault tolerant which is 99.999 (5 9's) availability. This is the standard for the networks and data storage/retrieval.



Ricky,
I think someday you might find that their is life outside the box that you investigate so intensely. [:D]

ricky,
yea, I haven't had as much as a cold for a long time. satisfy all parts of the brain and the body will follow.

I still suggest 'Faust' as a good book to read (German writer)

One,

Yea, I thought of that after I posted it...brain cramps being what they are and decided to leave it but thanks for clearing the record in any case! It's a Bi.ch getting old![:D]

Ricky, you need to realize that life consists of more than chipping away negatives in order to expose positives. What about potters who start with a lump of otherwise worthless clay and with skilled hands, create a bowl or vase or beauty not by taking away but by adding to. Same as a skilled cabinet maker...rough wood, beautiful cabinets. An artist adding paint to a canvas to create an illusion of reality. Each has it's place and not all are about negativity or chipping away the bad to reveal the good.

Sometimes life has its serendipitous moments and we should simply let them happen and enjoy them. Examination not required, IMHO.

Life happens...enjoy the journey not the destination.

very well said Art,  that is the poetry i look for,  it's all good....  Which brings me back to why i started talking so much out of nowhere,  2012 and moores law,  when is enough enough ?  

when does that law stop to smell the roses, and should "slow down" signs be considered ? lol :)

how is it that we have brought high technology to the war level but not the stop the poverty level ?

as for chopping away the negatives,  i've suffered enough,  it has taught me to not live there, so it is my own desire to polarize to positive.  It is not to deny the negative,  but to appreciate that with every negative there is a positive,  thus is the logical process of hope :)

I am not suggesting to abandon the natural process,  what I am suggesting is a full circle,  return to the innocence and simplicity of a child,  and all the magic that finger paintings bring,  not warbots that we bully people with.

the key to a good future IMO,  is a good imagination,  not a blind one.

to paraphrase a tao'ish quote ,

at first a rock was just a rock,
and a tree was just a tree,

Upon examining this further I noticed,
that a rock was not just a rock,
and a tree was not just a tree

Now that I understand this,
a rock is just a rock,
and a tree is just a tree.

a return to simplicity.

I am a rock...I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain,

And an island never cries.

btw,  Great Movie!,  i wish i could have enjoyed it more,  but now that I got into animation,  I'm spending more time wondering how they did those shots than just enjoying the movie,  ugh ..i hate when that happens!!  - looks for a penguin avatar-
