USB 3.0, SuperSpeed!
You will need a new card for this because most MOBOs are USB 2.0, not 3.0 at the moment.

Revealed: USB 3.0 jacks and sockets
9th January 2008 18:37 GMT
CES USB 3.0, the upcoming version of the universal add-on standard re-engineered for the HD era, made a small appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). It wasn't demonstrated in operation, but we did get to see what the new connectors look like.
Not, alas, the optical one, we have to report, but the electrical connectors. On show in public for – we believe – the first time, we got to see the new full-size connector, the socket it slips into and the new mini-socket. You can see the optical port here.
The USB 3 connector...
...and in close-up...
...and in diagrammatic detail
Here's the socket:
The standard USB 3 socket...
...which you can see more clearly in this diagram
And, finally, the mini-socket:
Dubbed SuperSpeed USB, the third major incarnation of the serial bus standard is set to deliver data transfer speeds of around 4.7Gb/s - ten times today's 480Mb/s limit.
The new spec will be compatible with older USB 1.1 and 2.0 products, cables and connectors, and you can see from the diagram of the standard connector how that's achieved: the extra pins are placed behind the USB 1.1/2.0 ones. USB 3.0 connectors and receptacles will be deeper than the current ones.
An initial USB 3.0 spec is due to be reviewed later this month. The full USB 3.0 specification is expected to be completed by the end of June 2008.

Stupid Celebritie "Quotes"
The Daily Telegraph provides examples of celebrities' fad gaffes and what the experts say.
"I am challenging these evil genes by natural means. I am convinced that by eating biological foods it is possible to avoid tumours." Gwyneth Paltrow, actress "Diet cannot prevent cancer. The risks of some of them can be reduced with certain diets, but some cancers, alas, show no link to dietary factors." Ursula Arens, dietician "If you suffer from joint pain it is a good idea to cut out or reduce the amount of tomatoes, aubergines, peppers, white potatoes and paprika that you eat." Gillian McKeith, author "Some rheumatoid patients may improve by omitting certain foods from their diets, but this must be determined on an individual basis and a blanket prohibition is totally unjustified." Margaret Rayman, professor of nutritional medicine "Lots of skin products use the same petrochemicals as the antifreeze in your car." Stella McCartney, fashion designer "Propylene glycol is a very versatile chemical which is used primarily as a base in moisturisers, a solvent in food colouring, a carrier solvent in fragrances and in many anti-bacterial lotions. So it might sound scary, but it isn't." Dr Dominic Williams, pharmacologist "There is no conclusive evidence showing that the continued use of these devices is linked to any measurable and general improvements in cognition. Practice at any task should lead to some form of improvement for that specific task." Dr Jason Braithwaite, cognitive neuroscientist While presenting How toxic are you? on Channel 4, she talked of "lovely make-up and moisturisers which don't have any chemicals in them". Sarah Beeny, television presenter "Chemicals are everywhere and everything. To be chemical free you have to experience a total vacuum." Ian Mabbett, chemist |

FCC to Probe Comcast Data Discrimination
I was waiting for this to happen and i am GLAD that it is going to!
LAS VEGAS (AP) — The Federal Communications Commission will investigate complaints that Comcast Corp. actively interferes with Internet traffic as its subscribers try to share files online, FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said Tuesday.
A coalition of consumer groups and legal scholars asked the agency in November to stop Comcast from discriminating against certain types of data. Two groups also asked the FCC to fine the nation's No. 2 Internet provider $195,000 for every affected subscriber.
"Sure, we're going to investigate and make sure that no consumer is going to be blocked," Martin told an audience at the International Consumer Electronics Show.
In an investigation last year, The Associated Press found that Comcast in some cases hindered file sharing by subscribers who used BitTorrent, a popular file-sharing program. The findings, first reported Oct. 19, confirmed claims by users who also noticed interference with other file-sharing applications.
Comcast denies that it blocks file sharing, but acknowledged after the AP story that it was "delaying" some of the traffic between computers that share files. The company said the intervention was necessary to improve the surfing experience for the majority of its subscribers.
Peer-to-peer file sharing is a common way to illegally exchange copyright files, but companies are also rushing to utilize it for legal distribution of video and game content. If ISPs hinder or control that traffic, it makes them important gatekeepers of Internet content.
The FCC's response will be an important test of its willingness to enforce "Net Neutrality," the principle that Internet traffic be treated equally by carriers. The agency has a broadly stated policy supporting the concept, but its position hasn't been tested in a real-world case.
The FCC's policy statement makes an exception for "reasonable traffic management." Comcast has said its practices fall under that exception.
"The question is going to arise: Are they reasonable network practices?" Martin said Tuesday. "When they have reasonable network practices, they should disclose those and make those public."
Comcast subscribers who asked the company about interference on their connections before the AP story ran were met with flat denials.
A Comcast spokesman did not have an immediate comment.
Martin also said the commission was looking at complaints that wireless carriers denied text-messaging "short codes" to some applicants. The five-digit numbers are a popular way to sign up for updates on everything from sports to politics to entertainment news.
Verizon Wireless in late September denied a request by Naral Pro-Choice America, an abortion rights group, to use its mobile network for a sign-up text messaging program.
The company reversed course just a day later, calling it a mistake and an "isolated incident."
Verizon Wireless has also denied a short code to a Swedish company, Rebtel Networks AB, that operates a service similar to a virtual calling card, allowing users to avoid paying the carrier's international rates on their cell-phone calls. Verizon Wireless has stuck to that denial, saying it does want to provide an advertising venue to a competitor.
"I tell the staff that they should act on all of those complaints and investigate all of them," Martin said.

The Sisters Of Mercy - Custom DVD
Several years ago I did a “custom” DVD by the Sisters Of Mercy. It took me a long time to get it the way I wanted to and I also did a custom cover using some of their symbols and old album cover. It is encoded in AC3 5.1 with all of their music videos and their concert at Royal Albert Hall back from 1985. I was think about placing it on the web in an .ISO format and using Bit Torrent to distribute the video. I have shown it to people that really liked it. I am just wondering how some of you feel about this? Let me know…

"Current Structure of the Bavarian
Illuminati Conspiracy and the Law of Fives"

Illuminati Conspiracy and the Law of Fives"
The Law of Fives
The Law of Fives is summarized in the Principia Discordia:
The Law of Fives states simply that: all phenomena are directly or indirectly related to the number five, and this relationship can always be demonstrated given enough ingenuity on the part of the demonstrator.
The Law of Fives is never wrong. – Malaclypse the Younger, Principia Discordia, Page 00016
The Law of Fives as quoted uses the word "Five" five times.
Like most of Discordianism, the Law of Fives appears on the surface to be either some sort of weird joke, or bizarre supernaturalism; but under this, it may help clarify the Discordian view of how the human mind works; Lord Omar is quoted later on the same page as having written, "I find the Law of Fives to be more and more manifest the harder I look."
Appendix Beth of Robert Shea's and Robert Anton Wilson's The Illuminatus! Trilogy considers some of the numerology of Discordianism, and the question of what would happen to the Law of Fives if everyone had six fingers on each hand. The authors suggest that the real Law of Fives may be that everything can be related to the number five if you try hard enough. Sometimes the steps required may be highly convoluted.
Another way of looking at the Law of Fives is as a symbol for the observation of reality changing that which is being observed in the observer's mind. Just as how when one looks for fives in reality, one finds them, so will one find conspiracies, ways to determine when the apocalypse will come, and so on and so forth when one decides to look for them. It cannot be wrong, because it proves itself reflexively when looked at through this lens.
The Bavarian Illuminati
History
This movement was founded on May 1, 1776, in Ingolstadt (Upper Bavaria), by Jesuit-taught Adam Weishaupt (d. 1830),[2] who was the first lay professor of canon law at the University of Ingolstadt.[3] The movement was made up of freethinkers, as an offshoot of the Enlightenment[4], which some believe was a conspiracy to infiltrate and overthrow the governments of many European states[5]. The group's adherents were given the name Illuminati, although they called themselves "Perfectibilists". The group has also been called the Illuminati Order, and the Bavarian Illuminati, and the movement itself has been referred to as Illuminism. In 1777, Karl Theodor, Elector Palatine, succeeded as ruler of Bavaria. He was a proponent of Enlightened Despotism and in 1784, his government banned all secret societies, including the Illuminati.
While it was not legally allowed to operate, many influential intellectuals and progressive politicians counted themselves as members, including Ferdinand of Brunswick and the diplomat Xavier von Zwack.[6] The Illuminati's members pledged obedience to their superiors, and were divided into three main classes: the first, known as the Nursery, encompassed the ascending degrees or offices of Preparation, Novice, Minerval and Illuminatus Minor. The second, known as the Masonry, consists of the ascending degrees of Illuminatus Major and Illuminatus dirigens. It was also sometimes called Scotch Knight. The third, designated the Mysteries, was subdivided into the degrees of the Lesser Mysteries (Presbyter and Regent) and those of the Greater Mysteries (Magus and Rex).
The order had its branches in most countries of the European continent; it reportedly had around 2,000 members over the span of 10 years.[7] The scheme had its attraction for literary men, such as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Johann Gottfried Herder, and even for the reigning dukes of Gotha and Weimar. Internal rupture and panic over succession preceded its downfall, which was effected by The Secular Edict made by the Bavarian government in 1785.[citation needed]
Illuminati after 1790
Conspiracy theorists such as Ryan Burke and Morgan Gricar, have argued that the Bavarian Illuminati survived, possibly to this day, though very little reliable evidence can be found to support that Weishaupt's group survived into the 19th century. However, several groups have used the name Illuminati since to found their own rites, claiming to be the Illuminati, including the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) founded by Theodor Reuss and Aleister Crowley (England),[8] Grand Lodge Rockefeller founded by David Goldman (USA), Orden Illuminati[9] founded by Gabriel López de Rojas (Spain), The Illuminati Order[10] and others.

Bike Ride Today...
We went to Pocahontas today and rode the Red, Blue and Double Red trail. We parked at the Quala Road Lot and we ended up riding 8.76 miles total. It was very cold this morning about 30 degrees when we started at 9am but it warmed up nicely and was a very good ride. We all took spills today. No one was hurt. It is just part of the riding experience, no pain, no gain.
