TheHost.US: "Hall Of Shame.US - group at My World Of Work
Hall Of Shame.US - group at My World Of Work: " there are rules, and there are exceptions to the rules. Here is one such company formally nominated to the Hall of Shame.US:

http://directlinecruises.com/

This company simply put profits before people, and when I went out of my way, to request assistance (and it was not even my money, or a cruise that I was going on) all with reasonable requests, the customer service person said that they are not "making any money" on this cruise based on the number of conversations they have notated.

When I was merely being assertive and requesting that the company "compromise on it's policy" the representative simply said, that they can't do this for everyone. Later to someone else they spoken, they even had the nerve to "call me rude" when I was politely yet assertively, requesting to speak to a supervisor. ""

BuddyPress or Ning : Community/Social Networking Website toward a fully functional prepackaged product / SAS based on Drupal / let's works on that at DrupalCon SF | Drupal Groups

BuddyPress or Ning : Community/Social Networking Website toward a fully functional prepackaged product / SAS based on Drupal / let's works on that at DrupalCon SF | Drupal Groups: "
I gave up on Wordpress several years back, because over time the demands from site owners for flexibility with large amounts of data.
The taxonomy tools were significant two years ago as no one had anything comparable.
Now with OpenCalais and othere semantic tools we appear to have more efficient ways to manage large amounts of data, which is highly accessible on the web.
We aren't waiting on the robots with just the right words carefully placed within our sites.

After looking at the Buddypress and Ning thing I would evaluate them as very focused applications, whereas Drupal and OpenPublish address much broader area of use for site builders."

The Sign-Up Problem (SUP) | drupal.org: "This module allows anonymous users to begin creating content immediately, without registering (if they have permission to do so). Once they get engaged on the site, they are more likely to register, at which point all of the posts they created while anonymous will be transferred to their new authenticated user account.

Details
Right now, this module keeps track of what nodes and comments are posted by anonymous users, and makes sure those nodes and comments maintain the same ownership even when the creator registers."

Did Albert Einstein Believe in a Personal God?

Did Albert Einstein Believe in a Personal God?: "Einstein realized that the equations led to the conclusion that the universe had a beginning. He didn't like the idea of a beginning, because he thought one would have to conclude that the universe was created by God. So, he added a cosmological constant to the equation to attempt to get rid of the beginning. He said this was one of the worst mistakes of his life. Of course, the results of Edwin Hubble confirmed that the universe was expanding and had a beginning at some point in the past. So, Einstein became a deist - a believer in an impersonal creator God:

"I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings."4"

Torah min haShamayim: Conflicts Between Religious Belief and Scientific Thinking | Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals

Torah min haShamayim: Conflicts Between Religious Belief and Scientific Thinking | Institute for Jewish Ideas and Ideals: "As the biologist Stephen Jay Gould put it, science and religion represent "non-overlapping magisteria." Science addresses the composition of the universe and how it works; religion examines questions of ultimate meaning and moral value. As Gould puts it cleverly: "These two magisteria do not overlap, nor do they encompass all inquiry. Science gets the age of rocks, and religion the rock of ages; science studies how the heavens go, religion how we go to heaven." [4] Gould, who described himself as a Jewish agnostic, suspected that the soul did not exist, but hoped he was wrong and saw value in both endeavors: "The attainment of wisdom in a full life requires extensive attention to both domains-for a great book tells us that the truth can make us free and that we will live in optimal harmony with our fellows when we learn to do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly."[4]

When the methods you have used lose their effectiveness, its time to change.

When the methods you have used lose their effectiveness, its time to change.: "People doggedly remain loyal to concepts that either never worked well, or are no longer effective.

In order to develop a new method, plan, agenda, procedure or paradigm, it is useful to take a long hard look at where the old method has failed. If you skip this important step, there is a strong likelihood that you will simply grasp hold of another paradigm which will also leave you out in the cold."

Electrical Receptacles, Electrical Outlets, Electrical Plugs, Adapter Plugs: "Electric Power Around the World
The table below summarizes information on the electrical systems in use in most countries of the world.
The voltages listed here are the nominal figures reported to be in use at most residential or commercial sites in the country or area named. Most electrical power systems are prone to slight variations in voltage due to demand or other factors. Many former 220 V countries have converted or are in the process of converting to the EU standard of 230 V. Generally, this difference is inconsequential, as most appliances are built to tolerate current a certain percentage above or below the rated voltage. However, severe variations in current can damage electrical equipment."

yesod

yesod: "Each time the “light” descends from it’s original source on high it is changed, or transformed. One might focus on it becoming quantitatively different in this has an element of truth because the previous sefirot above it retains some of the light, because not 100% of it light is transmitted to the sefirot below it.

An analogy from human physiology that I would like to propose is that some of the light which filters through the upper sefirot is retained by the sefirot above it in order to sustain itself, much like the heart"

Who Is Stalking You On Facebook? Who Is Your Biggest Fan?: " While to some, this may seem like an invasion, I like it when people try to sell me things, and I have no problem saying no. However, there is a far more insidious algorithm embedded in facebook. By a few refreshes and a few clicks, you can easily see who has most recently been looking at your facebook profile, down to a timeframe of 36 hours, as well as who your overall top stalkers are. Of course, they may not be exactly stalking you, but they are watching you."
