Today, a young man on acid realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration, that we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves... here's Tom with the weather. -Bill Hicks

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.” ― Mahatma Gandhi


"Let an ultraintelligent machine be defined as a machine that can far surpass all the intellectual activities of any man however clever. Since the design of machines is one of these intellectual activities, an ultraintelligent machine could design even better machines; there would then unquestionably be an 'intelligence explosion,' and the intelligence of man would be left far behind. Thus the first ultraintelligent machine is the last invention that man need ever make." - I. J. Good

"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain an idea without accepting it."- Aristotle

"Let's take JavaScript for example. (I worked on the original versions of JScript at Microsoft from 1996 through 2001.) The by-design purpose of JavaScript was to make the monkey dance when you moused over it. Scripts were often a single line. We considered ten line scripts to be pretty normal, hundred line scripts to be huge, and thousand line scripts were unheard of. The language was absolutely not designed for programming in the large, and our implementation decisions, performance targets, and so on, were based on that assumption."

"the most horrible kluge in the history of computing: Javascript." - Robert Cailliau

"Anyway I know only one programming language worse than C and that is Javascript. [...] I was convinced that we needed to build-in a programming language, but the developers, Tim first, were very much opposed. It had to remain completely declarative. Maybe, but the net result is that the programming-vacuum filled itself with the most horrible kluge in the history of computing: Javascript."

"A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it." -Max Planck


The X server has to be the biggest program I've ever seen that doesn't do anything for you. - Ken Thompson

"All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection, except for the problem of too many layers of indirection." - David Wheeler


"There are only two hard problems in Computer Science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors."

Remove overlay examples[edit]

from: http://thecable.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2013/08/13/after_multiple_denials_cia_admits_to_snooping_on_noam_chomsky

You can run this to get rid of the annoying overlay:

$('#TB_window,#TB_overlay').remove()

or

with the Inspector Console: This will remove the overlay: document.getElementById("TB_overlay").remove(); This will remove the annoying window: document.getElementById("TB_window").remove();

or

Inspector -> Elements -> delete nodes TB_window TB_overlay

epub[edit]

Best pdf -> epub converter

Use Mobipocket creator. It will remove page numbers and unwrap lines


IF you need to merge split epub segments use Sigil

In book browser, right click merge

Be sure to ucheck segment "cover" if merged, otherwise it will break calibre

To convert Calibre .pdf file -> doc

Make sure Huristic Processing -> enable huristic is checked


To conver Calibre .epub file -> doc

1 Convert .epub -> htmlz

2 unzip html file and open in word or LibreOffice

3. in LO edit -> Links break all links

When file is saved in calibre make sure

Epub output -> "split files larger than, is set to a big number

so that no segments are made

Also can check "do not split on page breaks" and flatten EPub

Google Chrome save as complete webpage can help LO open file if comes from epub
