BYU’s supercomputer is too slow
Twice a year a list of the top 500 supercomputers is released. BYU’s supercomputer, named Marylou4, was once ranked as high as 45 on the list. As of last June, Marylou4 fell in rank to 274. The most recent listing doesn’t even include a BYU supercomputer. Marylou4 is too slow to make the list. So there you [...] Related posts:

I bought an ink jet cartridge online, and when it came, I found over 7 ounces of packing material for a little 2.9 ounce cartridge.

Funny foreign language fire
I found this recent BYU police beat amusing: Nov. 10: Students in Foreign Language Student Residence called in a fire in their apartment. One student ran the automatic cleaning cycle on the oven without realizing that another had left a rag in the oven. The apartment received only minor smoke damage. Do you know how to say, [...] Related posts:

Marriage is not a human right
A couple of days ago, I discussed the definition of human rights. I argued that a human right is something that applies to all humans, regardless of age, gender, race, or nationality. It a right shouldn’t be given to a particular set of humans, then it probably isn’t a human right. It is with that definition [...] Related posts:

Which of these should be an Olympic sport?
Arguments are being made for which sports should be included as part of the 2016 Summer Olympics. Today, the International Baseball Federation made its pitch to the Olympic committee about being re-included in the Olympics. Baseball and softball were decided to not be included in the 2012 Olympics in London. Some of the sports [...] Related posts:

What is a human right?
Recently, I’ve been thinking a lot about the phrase, human rights. What are human rights, and what do these rights include? Wikipedia defines human rights as: Human rights refers to the “basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.” Examples of rights and freedoms which are often thought of as human rights include civil and [...] Related posts:

The fate of trendy brands
Today I read a news report stating that Starbucks’ profits are down 97% over the same quarter last year. Such a steep decline must be caused by more than just a bear market.

Politics and gold fish
With the Obamas visiting the White House yesterday, I had a quite bazaar bizarre dream last night. I dreamed that First Lady Laura Bush broke into the Obama’s house and stole their gold fish.

I’ve been doing some very careful shopping recently, and I almost feel like its cheating. For example, did you know that a string of 50 mini- Christmas lights costs more than a string of 100 at Walmart? So if you want just a small string of 50, buy it at Target instead. If you need an indoor [...] Related posts:
