Global Toad News

Former Governor Jesse Ventura investigates global warming (and some of his staff start out being openly supportive of man made global warming) and brings it all together with a one world currency and government that has been planned at the highest levels for at least 20 years.  Jesse constantly defends Al Gore, saying that Al Gore is a good guy, but he isn’t a scientist. This is show that should open your eyes.

Watch the whole thing, and pass it on.

In the past, Microsoft had allowed people to increase the GDI (graphics device interface) handles a program could have from the limit of 10,000 to up to 65,536 (see this MSDN article).  Unfortunately in Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit, even though I set the registry, and reboot the machine, I can no longer have 32 bit programs that use more than 10,000 GDI objects.

Thank goodness Linux doesn’t have this problem.

Actually the headline is entirely sarcasm.  The real story is that a person at a laundry was speaking english and was killed as a result.

Today I was happily doing stuff in Windows 7 64 bit, and my task bar icons all disappeared, but not to worry after I started Task Manager and brought an application to the front and maximized it, it worked again.  Now of course this a bad thing, but at least I didn’t have to kill explorer and restart it.

I found this interesting, the health care bill is really called “Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act”.  Nice tricky way the U.S. congress does things.

I’ve been running Windows 7 for some time now, and since Tuesday it has not been able to keep the resolutions straight when I undock and redock the laptop I use.  I have 3 different monitors at 3 different resolutions and it worked great, until Tuesday.  Now every time I redock the laptop, I have to reconfigure the monitors.

I don’t know what broke the monitor settings, but it seems to be a software issue.

By way of DeviceLine, a Wall Street Journal article about how U.S. military drones are able to be hacked due to the use of unencrypted communications has come to my attention.

I guess using encrypted communications wasn’t something they thought of.  The military was aware that this might be a problem, but apparently it was too costly to fix.

It seems that electro convulsive therapy (ECT) is making a come back.  People apparently can call the non medically trained ticket writers to administer ECT treatments to their children free of charge in some towns in America.

After the Global Warming fiasco (See this video with John Stewart to get a good perspective on it), I had a lot of discussions with people about it, and their point is that we need to do stuff about saving the planet, and whatever means will achieve that end, is fine with them.

But what really is the “end” that we are being marched towards?  According to one report, it’s a global government that will eventually control all aspects of life.  This government will rule over all other governments (the same thing happened to the United States, where for instance the State of Illinois, which has the slogan “State Sovereignty, National Unity” on it’s seal, has little real sovereignty).

Increasingly we see that the government is less and less accountable, and while people might vote for “Change” in reality they get more of the same, and yet the same people think that the problem is that the government doesn’t have enough power.

I don’t understand why people keep believing that the answer is for the government to tell everyone what to do, maybe, for many, the government is their new religion, because they have a firm belief in an artificial entity (e.g. it only exists in people’s minds).  Let me clear this up for people.  Governments are not tangible things, people claim that the government does this, or that, but people claiming to represent the government do this or that, the government actually does not really exist, rather it is an excuse for people to do this or that thing.

In other words, the government has less of an existence than does God.  Rather the acolytes of the government use the excuse of government to force conversion to their religion, and the rest of us just go along with it.
