    HIPPA is a joke. Every-time, you see a doctor they gather information and then "share" it with an endless number of "affiliates". My primary reason for responding concerns the application of HIPPA in the past versus now. When the Aids epidemic first broke-out many years ago HIPPA was used to...

    Using VBA to find perfect numbers, and accurately calculate pi to 100,000 decimal places.

    Here is another number of intrigue, the imaginary number expressed by "i", representing the square root of -1. https://www.quantamagazine.org/physicists-take-the-imaginary-numbers-out-of-quantum-mechanics-20251107/ Will the scientific community ever develop a "concrete" solution to what "i" is...

    Oikophobe: Word of the Day

    More on the West committing cultural suicide. Douglas Murray has exposed the metastasizing Oikophobe that has been occurring. We also see "old timers", such as WWII vets becoming very disappointed in the decline of culture and patriotism. https://www.foxnews.com/video/6375619805112...

    She is very knowledgeable. Very sad that she will not be able to contribute to the discussions. PS: With one post, I finally became a monthly "Top Poster of the Month"! :) Yea. Well that won't last long.:(

    Using VBA to find perfect numbers, and accurately calculate pi to 100,000 decimal places.

    https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/string-theorists-accidentally-find-a-new-formula-for-pi/ Recently, my news feed pointed to the article above. I'm not a mathematician, so I can't make any statements concerning this topic beyond the observation that this is another method of computing...

    Windows 10 End of Life

    While this is not specifically an MS Windows 10 issue, it is related since Intuit is disabling Turbotax under Window 10. I have been using Turbotax for years and it is one of the reasons for retaining an MS Windows partition on my computer. Turbotax is an excellent product, but Intuit is a...

    Dogs Are Vegetarians!

    There is a dog food commercial that is akin to the story "A boy and his dog". A guy and his girlfriend are preparing food for dinner. She opens the refrigerator and contemptuously asks: "What is this?" He proudly responds: "Food for ..." She scoldingly responds: "for a dog?!?!". Cut to the next...

    Dogs Are Vegetarians!

    With cats, it seems that the food you buy them is always described in terms of a meat flavor. Since we don't have a dog, I don't know how the dog-food labels describe the contents.

    Dogs Are Vegetarians!

    Who knew? We don't have a dog, but as I casually watch dog food commercials, I've noticed that they only display and mention food from the produce isle! I assume that this focus on "healthy" foods is being done to influence humans into buying dog-food based on the assumption that if it is...

    Windows 10 End of Life

    Linux is the answer. A basic question that everyone needs to ask as W10 sputters out of existence: Do you really need to remain in a Windows environment? I would say that Linux offers most everything that MS Windows offers. In the majority of cases, you do not need to remain within the MS...

    Another example of fake news

    It worse, as it goes beyond a simple numeric argument. Democrats know how to phrase an argument in a misleading manner that makes them look good. For example, the Democrats shutdown the government by not passing a Continuing Resolution (CR). They then (falsely) claim that it is a Republican...

    What IS this left-over from a rental house? Cable, modem, router, alarm system, what?

    Unfortunately, the resolution of the image did not allow for reading the label (or the light labels) on the device. The cord looks to be an Ethernet cord. It should also have, printed on it, something like "cat 6". Check the outside of the house and see if there is a wire entering the house at...

    A great idea to fix our universities

    This should apply to more than just the universities. It needs to be extended to a whole variety of programs. Grants are not free money! The grants are funded by federal tax receipts. Too many states view grant money as "free" money since state tax dollars are not used to fund the programs...
