talk about prison and punishment system
if we dont want retribution, no hate, what do we do to killers? let them live freely and kill freely? there's gotta be some cruel but not so unusual punishment, such as death penalty we can use. also we dont want prisoners to work, but want them to live well and eat well? what about those innocent poor people outside of the prison who didnt do anything wrong just sh*t out of luck? fairness is just a word we define, how we interrupt it still depends on ourselves. there's on absolute fairness exists any way. death penalty doesnt stop crime, let them kill free probably encourages it. there are some mad people who are never afraid of death penalty, but this retribution + cruel but not so unusual punish will certain deter some 'sane' people from committing such hideous crimes.

two social issues
those born with bi-polar disorder arenot that proud of themselves, there's nothing to be proud of being gay... on the other side, they want marriage benefit, I think marriage is out-dated now. probably we should use a software engineer method to solve this problem. government no longer needs to support this old definition of marriage, just an 'interface' for a legal contract, which service the purpose of 'marriage', you can only get benefit from this one and only contract, any previous unresolved one will have higher precedence over any new one. so you have live with multiple people but only one has the marriage status.
another example I can think of is children with downsyndrome, when homosexual claims they are 'normal' and should be proud, even teaching little kids about prince marries prince, they are discriminating against people with other abnormality, certainly we wont discriminate against people with downsyndrome, I say hi to kid with that like any other kid, but I dont see nobody wants people to say they are so proud about being a retard, well, we got too many junkies like that already, w/o downsyndrome.
to get rid of ear mark, just enforce every legislation to have only one issue, which matches it's name/short description, only the sponsor can give speech about it in congress/senate, after that, it's a long list people vote on, but the total supported amount has to be within a certain budget. we will see online easily who votes for what...

blended theories
for evolution theories, I was thinking, natural selection is probably just one part of the story. natural environment can change creature's gene, those activities probably will affect creature itself as well(as used gets more, not used gets less), so it could be a blended theory instead of just one.
the other one is about african origin or multiple origin for homo sapiens. could it be possible that a big brand spread around the world, but instead of 'taking over' of everybody, it might have blended with some local home sapiens, like what spanish did in south america, maybe. of course they can be traced back using some gene because they have some common ancestor, they could have an old ancestor which shares the same gene too.

a health care processing system?
SPI - special processing instruction... to me, it's really a bad idea to put all the information into a main frame system, the worst way to maintain and update. the big problem is not to design a new system, it's about how to get information input into the new system correctly.
I think this needs a service oriented solution, not the bloated version microsoft is evangelizing to people. just some solid service based parts working together.

- input/output endpoints, where internal/external people used to use, update information about plans, law requirements and personal records
- subsystem to store processing instruction, list conditions with matching processing steps
- subsystem to store user information, endpoints will need some configuration(centralized) to know which one to contact
- based on input and user information, find all those systems, such as different plans, states, etc, know where to ask and get informatoin, where to do stuff
- send the results to output end points after all related subsystems are contacted and updated
Norm Colman claimed he would abondon negative ads
Just after that, saw the republican xxxx attack ads up on TV... real smart way from those politicians. it probably works for those 19% who approved GWB's work.

Obama and McCain all blaim 'change' now, but they are part of the problem. How can they really change this system?
I dont like Al Franken, but he mentioned the rush to bail out reminded him of the rush to the iraqi war, I like that.
The medical system cant be simply solved by claiming everybody will have congress insurance, that will never happen. The doctors and hospitals are simply charging too much, besides the drug company. High accident compensation is partially to be blamed for.
I am thinking that we should create more hospitals that hire doctors who charge less, make those hospitals train doctors, charge them less tuition so we get more qualified doctors who actually worked on people, instead of just repeating books and avoiding responsibilities. At the same time, compensation is limited to only who ever needed. The people who caused accident should be punished in the system severely, not just through giving relatives money. This will be affordable medication. Make drug patent time as long as everybody else, so americans are not the lab rats who pay high money for those new drugs. Those hospital wont totally replace the current ones, as the expensive ones will offer better facilities, who ever can afford can go to good hospitals but for everybody else, there's a place to go. This can be created by government help, not just government owned institute. Make them non-profit and keep this healthy cycle to make it grow.

This is a lot better than the previous solution, I think I found this before... what ever, set style then you dont need to set Enabled = false. Then you can set backcolor etc to make it look what ever you want. :)

About the VP debate
I found that I like voice of Biden, it's a little similar to Bill Clinton's voice. Palin's voice is just horrible and I dont like obama or mccain's either.
The iraq war issue - Biden said he and obama will end the war, after a long pause, Palin said troops dont like white flag and surge is working. Well, why Biden didnt find reference about how 'toops' want to go home in vietnamese and korean war? Why he didnt find reference about how 'increase of troops' (since it's been so long, it' s not a surge) can show some 'winning illusion' in those previous war? Why he didnt mention how 'AMERICAN PEOPLE' hate spending so much money on the war and this brings down the economy?
I guess it's because none of the politician cares about people.
For legislation, what ever they attache to this stupid 700billion 'rescue plan' bill, it's an EAR MARK, McCain claimed he's against it, now he's all for it. Let's put ads for the group of 4 (maybe add Hilary Clinton, WG Bush to make it 6). Showing how they 'swing' their claims and votes ... add some music like the old ANTI John Kerry ads. :) Ralph Nader, I dont think you can do a thing to change this country and I think you are a just another politician but if I can vote, I will vote for you instead of Ron Paul. Back to the legislation part, I think each bill should just be a single bill, nothing unrelated should be put in there, even the spending bill should not including anything unnecessary, make each spending its own bill and submit it before deadline. Now let people who sponsor the bill give speech and put it online for everybody to read. Just like an election, let senate and house vote on ballot with all those items. Each of them have to give 500+ words explanation why they are for or against each item they voted, they cant give up on any vote. Hey, it's their job to do that!

Let's dream about a new console gaming PC...
- Current console has special hardware design, which is getting more and more costly, when PC performance is growing rapidly, they get oudated really fast too...
- Current console is usually sold at a loss, for the first year or longer...
- So, how about something close enough to a PC but designed for console gaming, besides the PC functionality?
- I am thinking about a gaming PC with optimized CPU/GPU bandwidth like old xbox and xbox360, but with x386 CPU
- PC game companies complain about a few things:
- highend gaming pc is too expensive, not so many people can afford it
- piracy, those who spend that much money on gaming pc know about piracy (some recent interviews mentioned this)
- too many different hardware, accessories, it's hard to test for them all and it's hard to do optimization
- so we can limit hardware, only certain 'certified' video card, motherboard, peripherals can be supported by this, less trouble, easier optimization... you can go with the optimized setting or you can get a little less pleasant experience by config stuff your way... (like your car)
- the more security steps, the easier for it to break, since hackers only need to break one chain... so maybe the security is only in the BD(or what ever high capacity media reader in future). let's lock it down, put os/dash all in a single chip of this drive, either detect and alarm when the drive is dissembled or make it impossible to solder wire to break anything internal
- this hardware may be manufactured by any hardware company, as long as it follows the rule and certification. let's limit the functionality variation, maybe just some clock/memory difference or just clock difference.
- but companies have to make money on it, I am thinking a licensing mechanism for who ever design it (license for os/dash cost), just like license for any SDK cost, game development kit cost.
- dev kit will be simple and people can run their own stuff outside of the dash with the PC part of the API. then it's sealed by who ever licenses os/dash to make it the console part application. make it easier to people to create/share stuff, the PC part is free for all, the console part is through license process...
- It has to have game, if ms will abondon xenon, they might be able to do it, but sony wont abondon cell... maybe EA can do it...
- one more thought, each machine will have one sim card like device which you can use to activate games for your device. each game media/disc needs to be activated for your console to be played (at retail store, when order online or you can do it yourself online if you buy it from some one else on ebay). it will remove the ability for other people to play this game... this sounds troublesome though...

Apple Apparently Turned $570 Million Profit from ITunes Last Year | Listening Post from Wired.com: "Update: In response to the comment below, Apple apparently keeps 29 cents out of each 99-cent song, which could be where Billboard's 30 percent profit margin is coming from. If anyone reading this has a Billboard subscription, please let us know their conclusion below (I'm not going to subscribe to Billboard just to see the second half of a single news story)."
