			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have summarized the 10 dimensions as described by the video and interpreted by me below:</p>
<p>1. Length &#8211; a line<br />
2. Length + Width &#8211; an impossibly flat object<br />
3. Length + Width + Height &#8211; every object we can perceive; our world &#8212; an example is a human<br />
4. Introduction of Time &#8211; imagine a single perceivable object in the 4th dimension is of indeterminate size and shows your entire life span<br />
5. Introduction of Possibility &#8211; we introduce all the possible life spans you could have led in the 5th dimensional object<br />
6. Our universe&#8217;s Infinity &#8211; all possibilities from the beginning to end of our entire universe accessed at an instance without travel; as an example, even in the 4th or 5th dimension, you would have to &#8220;travel&#8221; an indeterminate &#8220;distance&#8221; (though there is no such notion distance as we know it in dimensions that encompass time) in order to access a place in one of your possible life spans &#8212; in the 6th dimension, they would all exist at once<br />
7. Introduction of other universes &#8211; imagine other universes with different laws of physics and altogether different foundational beginnings<br />
8+9. Ability to travel &#8220;instantly&#8221; between different possible universes (similar to 5+6)<br />
10. As our universe&#8217;s infinity became a point in the 7th dimension that allowed us to branch to other universe&#8217;s infinities, so all the infinities of all universes became a point in the 10th dimension.  However, it is unclear what that could possibly branch to.  So, in my mind, the 10th dimension is not well defined.</p>
<p>You may want to watch, think about this for a few days, and then come back to watch it again.  It is just one way of describing 10 dimensions in layman terms, but I believe it will help formulate a thought process you can engage your mind with.  I think you will find that you have already postulated some of these concepts during your own personal contemplation.</p>

3. Plug it back in</p>
<p>Why?  When the phone is locked, Windows cannot detect the device properly.  I hope this helps someone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>These are all branded names of web browsers.  I have been using FireFox and Chrome for a few years now.  I only use IE7/8 for enterprise application development that requires compatibility with those browsers.  After seeing such productivity gains myself by switching to the fastest browser available, I am starting to look into introducing FireFox into enterprises.  It has certainly occurred to me that a quick description of a web browser is in order.</p>
<p>Notes:</p>
<p>1. A program on your computer, just like Microsoft Word<br />
2. For Windows, Internet Explorer (also called its acronym, &#8220;IE&#8221;) is the default browser.  If you don&#8217;t know which browser you are running, you are likely running IE.<br />
3. At its basis, a Web Browser takes a web addresses (also called a &#8220;URL&#8221;) like http://www.mraggarwal.com as its input, and outputs the result on the screen, which is typically a web page.<br />
4. There are four main Web Browsers on the market:<br />
- IE (Closed Source by Microsoft)<br />
- FireFox (Open Source)<br />
- Google Chrome (Open Source by Google)<br />
- Safari (Closed Source by Apple)</p>
<p>I found the following video to further help exemplify and provide another learning medium.  I hope you enjoy it:</p>

<p>These worked fine with XP &#8212; I realized that Vista requires a pfm file.  And it is not difficult to convert these, though third party software is required.  I download the free AfmToPfm software to complete my conversion:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defended her decision not to close the borders with Mexico, saying it â€œwould be a very, very heavy cost for what epidemiologists tell us would be marginal benefit.â€</p>
<p>Where was this logic with the handling of the economic crisis?  That approach has really just been &#8220;spend as much as possible, as quickly as possible, without waiting to assess the benefit.&#8221;  I always thought people working with numbers were supposed to be the most logical.  And in a time when we are at the cusp of an epidemic with the &#8220;swine&#8221; or &#8220;Mexico&#8221; flu, I am more likely to accept questionable and conservatively irrational decisions.</p>
<p>I guess, something about reading that quote just got me thinking.</p>

<p>Vegas doesn&#8217;t have skimming and takes longer to edit.</p>
<p>Figuring out the right settings for posting online vs. DVD vs. is a mess&#8230;I just want to specify a simple calculator that tells me resulting file size, video length, resolution, and video quality.</p>
<p>Why is video editing such a pain when technology has come soooo far?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have all been touched or hurt by the emotions we envision someone else has gone through.  At what point, if any, is this taken too far?  </p>
<p>When do other people&#8217;s joys and sorrows begin to affect you to the point where you are being &#8220;too empathetic&#8221;?  What kind of person is prone to being/becoming &#8220;too empathetic&#8221;?  Do you even believe there is such a thing?</p>
<p>I think there very well could be such a thing, and in a society where we feel that people are becoming less sociable, I tend to believe we will end up with some level of social &#8220;climate control&#8221; issues&#8230;where people cannot form the proper balance with many important social constructs, including empathy.  I am concerned that people will begin to go to the extremes of feeling either too little empathy (I believe that everyone feels at least some small amount of empathy) or too much empathy.  I believe there will be empathy balancing techniques that will be devised and training courses for the &#8220;social climate control&#8221; crisis we are already facing or will soon face in our technology-driven, impersonal world.</p>
<p>What are your thoughts?  I know many people must be seeing this as it unfolds in front of all of our eyes.  Maybe we can get to this and improve people&#8217;s quality of life in the current and future generations faster than we can find ways to solve the ozone issues or viable alternative fuel sources.</p>
