Choose Organic

By Andrew
People need to stop believing that their actions and decisions are insignificant. Your decisions affect everyone and everyone's decisions ultimately affect you too. In a free market system you vote with your wallet and by buying fast foods instead of organic foods you're making those healthy foods less accessible for everyone.

One purchase may have a seemingly insignificant impact but multiply that by billions of people over many decades and you have health and nutrition crises cropping up everywhere. Obesity in wealthy countries and severe malnutrition in poor countries. Our species cannot maintain these high calorie, low nutrient diets.

Furthermore, the industries that have been built around this new way of eating are putting immense strain on the environment. The meat and grain industries use unimaginable amounts of resources to meet the demand from consumers. Additionally the pharmaceutical and supplement industries have exploded and are causing all kinds of environmental damage.

Our global ecosystem will eventually collapse if we don't put an end to these systems of self destruction. Stop blaming politicians and corporations and start taking responsibility for your individual contribution to the problem. Make the right choices for everyone, not just for yourself.

Quake3 in HD

By Andrew
Dust off the old PK3 files: Although it's over 10 years old, Quake 3 is still being played in offices around the world. Since id software has open sourced the Quake 3 engine; a community of developers has created an updated engine called ioquake3 and has recently also included a high resolution texture pack . ioquake3 is 100% compatable with Quake3 v1.32 so you will be able to join servers running the original Quake3 engine and vice versa. All you will need are the original pk3 files found in your Quake 3 baseq3 folder.

A Profound Understanding of Technology

By Andrew
The rate of technological growth is very predictable and is exponential. To draw a correlation; the Mayan calendar is understood to be a measure of significant technological events with an exponential decrease in interval time. This almost immediately disproves the man-in-the-sky idea of god because once we have successfully reverse engineered the human body we will be able to make vast performance improvements. The predictability of technology also simultaneously proves that there is some kind of divine plan at work. The machines will eventually take over but we won't be separate from them, we will become self-engineered, bio-mechanical, super intelligent beings. The singularity is upon us :D

Oracle Doesn’t Get Open Source

By Andrew
Oracle claimed that the EU didn’t get open source when they tried to prevent Oracle’s acquisition of Sun . It’s plain to see that the acquisition was purely to destroy the competition. Sun is dead and it’s software is slowly being buried with it. Well, not quite; Sun actively developed three of the worlds most important open source contributions; Java , MySQL and OpenOffice.org . Regardless of the loopholes that Oracle is trying to pursue with their current case against Google , once a copyleft license is applied, the product effectively becomes the property of the consumer. When the deal was announced, the open source community was up in arms however i believed that Oracle was simply waking up to the necessity for open source in the software industry. The world is not ready to drop the proprietary model just yet but a software company the size of Oracle must have realised that they were falling behind. I was wrong, Oracle have no clue about open source and apparently have no int...
