<p>My hat's off to you, Sir!</p>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Time explained.</p>

<p>To understand time, it is necessary to understand its components.<br />
 <br />
Time is energy (virtual), with the same energy density as solid mass. Time is a function of energy, and so identical to energy.<br />
 <br />
Energy in three-dimensional space is understood as mass, energy in the fourth Minkowski axis, as time, this means:<br />
 <br />
Each spatial dimension is held within the next, in this setting, the three ordinary dimensions of space are combined within a single dimension of time, to form a four-dimensional manifold, representing a space-time reality.<br />
 <br />
So multiplying an amount of time (t) (in seconds) by the speed of light squared (c²) gives the decompressed spatial energy (E) of transduced (changing one energy pattern to a different energy pattern) time (t), in short E = tc².<br />
 <br />
Mass is just a special form of energy. Mass is energy, however mass does not exist independently, only time mass exists, so the concept of mass as perceived as existing independently of time as a physical object is false.<br />
 <br />
Energy can move across the boundary of three-dimensional space, into the other spatial dimensions, referred to as an open system, in contrast to a closed system, which would isolate energy within three-dimensional space. (No closed energy system exists within the entire universe, it would not be possible to manufacture a closed energy system, even if you wished to) So all energy circulations are facilitated through the fourth-dimensional manifold of time.<br />
 <br />
Negentropy, states that the natural system is self-ordering (i.e., freely receiving energy from the active environment), while entropy, is a measure of disorder in a system (i.e., freely giving energy to the active environment) both these states work in balance.<br />
 <br />
So accompanying entropy within three-dimensional space is the Negentropy of time energy,(which is virtual) in the time envelope of three-dimensional space.<br />
 <br />
And accompanying Negentropy within three-dimensional space is the entropy of the time energy,(virtual) in the time envelope of three-dimensional space.<br />
 <br />
The entire structure of all realities is based on the principle of dichotomy, it function between extremes, but held between these extremes exists salaam, the tension and balance that generates emergent complexity, of infinite potential, organically layered, self perpetuating through conscious imaginative creation, manifesting the expansion of ever more interlaced, interactive, interdependent dichotomies, all dichotomies return to the balance of tensions, they always return to order, a physical inclination to exist in negentropy.<br />
 <br />
The system functions through the broken symmetry of opposites, for example, the poles of a magnet or a dipole, it’s the point of union that allows the energy of time( from virtual to observable) to pour out at the speed of light, expanding into infinity.<br />
 <br />
The entire universe functions on the conversion of energy, that being the transformation of the frequency of the energy. Time energy is virtual, meaning we cannot observe it as it is held within the manifold of the fourth dimension.<br />
 <br />
The totality of the photon (virtual plus observable) is the connection between all four dimensional planes, and so its interactions with mass creates that masses motion through time, this is why the photon is neither a wave nor a particle, it is within the two planes, both three dimensional space and the manifold of time.<br />
 <br />
Charge is the continuously active entity, which performs the processes of energy transduction between the time manifold and three-dimensional space. An example:<br />
 <br />
A Star is a vast dipole, which extracts transduced electromagnetic energy from the time manifold (virtual into observable), and pours it out in all directions at the speed of light, without ceasing, this means a star pours out time-polarised electromagnetic waves looping into the Sun from the outside, and travelling inward, this applies an electric charge to the gas (ionising the hydrogen), generating a vast plasma ball emitting photons ( observable light) and heat, the dipole continues in a circulation as the longitudinally polarised electromagnetic wave or photon discharges into three dimensional space.<br />
 <br />
Plasmas vary according to temperature and density, and have characteristics that scale over many orders of magnitude, this means to create a star the density of the ionisation of the hydrogen would be enormous, above 10³³ charged particles per metered cubed. This range of ionisation density explains why for example Jupiter remains as a gas ball, as opposed to a blinding plasma ball of electroluminescence.<br />
 <br />
The visible Universe is 99.999% plasma. The Sun is almost 100% plasma, as are all stars. Plasma makes up nearly 100% of the interplanetary, interstellar and intergalactic medium.<br />
Electroluminescence of the plasma, by emitting photons (observable), both illuminates the universe and connects three-dimensional space to the time manifold, manifesting relativistic time.<br />
 <br />
This means each atom of creation is independently held within time, each moment of time is a multiple connection, it is the manifestation of all dimensional planes working in harmony, as all realities are manifest instant by instant; without this constant materialization of reality, nothing would exist.<br />
 <br />
To understand the existence of the manifold, firstly consider movement, the movement within every atom, a perpetual orbit of interaction, the endless charge pouring from every dipole in the universe, the constant flow of time independently conveying every atom into the next instant of existence, the organic nature of reality cooperating in a harmony of interactive, transmuting, dynamic truth. Consider what powers this movement, what generates these energies, what manifests this reality instant to instant, an open system of poetic elegance, open to what? Open to a underlying energy exchange, a manifold, the ‘A’ field, the ether, whatever you wish to call it.<br />
 <br />
 <br />
Three dimensional space is a reality generated from the time manifold itself, the manner of the generation of this physical space means it will constantly expand this three dimensional universe at an ever accelerating rate. As every event, no matter how insignificant, is permanently stored within the electromagnetic field of the time manifold as quantum bits of information, these quibits of energy form braid like structures possessing length and width which twist together within the time manifold and expand the volume of the physical universe. This means the older the universe the greater its volume, being an ever greater amount of stored time events, as space expands it has more space to create events in time, this generates the acceleration.<br />
 <br />
The mass of the universe works in a similar way; this is quibits of energy (information) within three-dimensional space, which twist together to form particles, clockwise or anti-clockwise along their length to produce positive or negative charge.<br />
 <br />
So the time manifold is a natural quantum computer that uses inconceivable amounts of information to generate physical reality.<br />
 <br />
The emitted light energy in turn is absorbed by the nearby positive charge of mass, say, the planet earth for example, and retransduced into time-energy (virtual), and re-emitted back to the time manifold. This ongoing energy circulation is an example of a scalar potential, both being and doing, at every spatial point of itself, inducing vacuum polarisation (an example of polarisation would be opposite poles of a magnetic field).<br />
 <br />
There exist continual communication between particles which takes place in the time manifold, which holds this three dimensional universe, which holds all the particles of this physical reality.<br />
 <br />
Matter depend on knowledge, it needs a cosmological clock provided by the frequency of the electron waves, the waves also perform the role of communicating in addition to time, length and mass.<br />
 <br />
Every particle communicates its wave state with all other matter, so that energy exchange and the laws of physics are properties of the entire matter ensemble. The behaviour of matter arises from itself. Every element of this existence are interdependent, just as each cell of the human body is interdependent on every other cell, just as each element of an eco system is interdependent on every other element, a recurring pattern of nature.<br />
 <br />
There are two real and coexistent realities participating in the physical behaviour of matter. We see one reality as our familiar 3D environment, governed by the natural laws. The second reality is composed of energy so densely compressed it boggles the mind, this energy mass of unseen quantum waves which form the structure of the fundamental particles: electrons, protons, and neutrons, and also, all three dimensional space, and action, in truth, everything, emanates from the time manifold.<br />
 <br />
We cannot observe these waves although they fill the apparently empty space around us. We only know of their existence when two particles change their quantized wave states (energy levels) in concert. For example, one particle in a star and the other in the retina of our eye. This exchange we call 'light'.<br />
 <br />
A manifestation of this same phenomenon can be observed when a particle is divided, if you heat one half of the split particle, no matter the distance, the other part will react in the same way as the heated part, as they are a single quantized time mass state, both halves vibrate instantaneously, even if you separated them to the opposite sides of the universe; the connection functions similarly to the photon, no distance exist within the manifold, all knowledge is connected.<br />
 <br />
The energy of existence in all its many patterns and forms is of a single source, a conscious and infinite fountain of knowledge and imagination, without limit or constraint, as the understanding you have read expresses, only this conscious energy exists, nothing else, it guides and controls its energies, seemingly without effort.<br />
 <br />
This conscious energy is the concept and reality of Allah(NOT GOD) without reservation, beyond the manifold of time exists an additional seven dimensional realities, each a magnitude of infinities, existing outside of the time manifold, beyond that more exists as the energy created all this of itself, but Allah exists as infinite, limitless and unbounded, the adventure of existence is just beginning.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Tears Of The Dragon<br />
by Bruce Dickinson</p>

<p>For too long now<br />
There were secrets in my mind<br />
For too long now<br />
There were things I should have said</p>

<p>In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door<br />
To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour</p>

<p>Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day<br />
The misty ghosts of childhood fears<br />
The pressure is building and I can't stay away</p>

<p>[CHORUS:]<br />
I throw myself into the sea<br />
Release the wave, let it wash over me<br />
To face the fear, I once believed<br />
The tears of the dragon, for you and for me</p>

<p>Where I was<br />
I had wings that couldn't fly<br />
Where I was<br />
I had tears I couldn't cry</p>

<p>My emotions frozen in an icy lake<br />
I couldn't feel them until the ice began to break</p>

<p>I have no power over this, you know I'm afraid<br />
The walls I built are crumbling<br />
The water is moving, I'm slipping away</p>

<p>[REPEAT CHORUS]</p>

<p>[SOLO]</p>

<p>Slowly I awake<br />
Slowly I rise<br />
The walls I built are crumbling<br />
The water is moving, I'm slipping away</p>

<p>[REPEAT CHORUS (x2)]</p>]]></description>

Actually, you ought to be pretty well aware that it's to you that I owe the title of this post - and the "&lt;erwin&gt; just don't ask Poul-Henning" memory - and some more ideas and memories...  So, yup, cheers - and one of those days I *will* give you a couple of Piers Anthony's "Incarnations" books - a couple of additional lessons in living out of time.</p>]]></description>

It hurts to know<br />

Time what is time<br />
Unlock the door<br />

Then time is time again</p>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>О, още един фен на Геймън и Сандман! За съжаление комиксите не са популярни в България - плахите опити за съвременна българска продукция завършиха с провал, въпреки наличния талант. Преводните комикси пък са с ограничение 12 години, ама в посока надолу - Star Wars, Спайдърмен, Споон (!) и други подобни. Комиксите с истински литературни качества обаче са познати на малцина и освен под форма на архив, свален пиратски от мрежата и без това няма откъде да се вземат :(</p>

<p>Аз от чиста фенщина и желание да зарибя някой за Сандман преведох една книжка (онази с Император Нортън) - трябва да се стегна някой ден да сложа текста върху английския, че така само си стои файла с превода от година - три и събира електронен прах...</p>]]></description>

I think what they mean though is that they want the system to be built to be redundant but none of that redundancy should be implemented right away.  Or something.

                <description><![CDATA[<p>*Oof!*  Only I didn't really answer your question, did I now? :)</p>

<p>For various historical reasons, the system compiler in the FreeBSD 4.x base system is still GCC 2.95.x, which does not grok C99 all that well.  For various <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_least_astonishment">POLA</a> reasons, the system compiler <i>in the FreeBSD 4.x-STABLE branch</i> will <i>never</i> be updated/upgraded to GCC 3.x or some other C99 compiler.</p>

<p>Yes, this does lead to a bit of more work porting newer applications every now and then; still, that's the way it ought to be done.</p>]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Actually, it's the other way 'round - C89 is supposed to be pretty much a subset of C99 :)  And that holds true for most of the features that C99 introduces, like variable definitions in the middle of a block instead of at the top, more data types (at long last standardizing long long int, and intmax_t being one of the greatest ideas IMHO), more printf() modifiers (say, %j for intmax_t), 'restrict' pointer qualifiers...  All of those are things that would simply break a C89 compiler with invalid syntax (well, maybe except for the printf() modifier) so that the program would not even compile, never mind produce different resulsts.  However, it turns out that some of the differences *do* allow for the compilation to proceed and generate different runtime behavior - and this sounds, erm, let's say just 'tricky', so we don't go hurling around words like 'bad' :)</p>

<p>There's a nice reference for the C99 features and extensions at <a href="http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/macxhelp/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.vacpp6m.doc/getstart/overview/apx_lang_support.htm">IBM's Software information center</a>; I'm not sure if the standards themselves are freely available.</p>]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Well, well,well, it was funny, useful and great.<br />
We'll see how things roll on - I have an idea of a place for the next bgBSDcon.We got contacts now, so there are little excuses left for not setting up a proper con.<br />
Next time I hope we will organize it in a more beasty manner - central managed, tyranic, no second thoughts and mumblings.<br />
Have a good one!<br />
P.S: I have a mild preference of t-a-r instead of t-e-r. Thanks!<br />

                <description><![CDATA[<p>I am very surprised to do not find my favorite terminal program Terminate for downloading at this site. It is just mantioned.<br />
Sometimes I miss the good old BBSs. I have been a regular user in Plovdiv's BBSs in the period 1997-2000 - I have a lot of friends from these times. We had meetings each friday in a bar called "Lucky Art" in Plovdiv and there were times when the so called "SysOps' meeting" had more than 50 enthusiast (as you can guess mostly BBS users) on the long table :)</p>]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Well, I kind of missed the whole BBS wave, mostly because the part of Sofia where I lived did not yet have phone lines at the time (we're talking early 90's here).  Still, Jason's documentary blog, as well as the whole textfiles.com site, is definitely worth a couple of hours of anyone's time!</p>]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[<p>Ain't capitalism great?  Haha, yes, overdoing is is second nature to these people.  When I was in High School, I use to work at a retail store, and they would start playing seasonal Christmas music some time in October.  By Christmas I would be literally insane and would vomit every time I heard any Christmas-related tune.</p>]]></description>

I noticed a bug, I don't understand. In the feed all comments have as date the Entry's date, and not the Comment date, although the Code uses MTCommentDate, and I used MTCommentDate on my Main Index, and there it works right...strange..</p>]]></description>
