Tips to make Firefox download pages quicker
I was experiencing some bad Firefox performance this evening, so I did some research into how to speed things up. I'll document my findings here, so hopefully it can help a few other people out too. Keep in mind that these tips are useful only if you have some kind of broadband access -- cable, satellite, DSL, place of employment, etc. I would not use this for dial-up users. Also, my goal with this is to increase performance, and these settings work great for me.&nbs...

In Heaven
A Lawyer and the Pope Die and Go to Heaven A lawyer died. At the same moment, the Pope also died. They arrived at the gates of heaven at the same moment. They spend the day in orientation, and as they're getting their heavenly vestments, the Pope gets a plain white toga and wings, like everyone else, and the lawyer gets much finer apparel, made of gold thread, and Gucci shoes.Then,...

LRS benefit list (psyching myself up)
Contemplating LRS, waiting for another win... Here is what I see as the benefits of this particular system... A) Auto-ranging. Because it comes directly from past draws IN POSITION you don't have to filter out numbers that have never been drawn in that position. It will never call 01 as the second number or 54 as the third number. B) Built-In Randomness. It uses the history, therefore the same source of observed /entropy as the game itse...

the "idea well" is running low...
trying to come up with new systems or variations on existing systems is a mentally draining experience... some days or weeks you are just FULL of ideas, then times like right now, zip..zero...nada. I work with chain reaction but not whole-heartedly because I have no intention of playing the mid-day games. Seed Hunting is BORING. LRS test will need to wait until the draw results for tonight (Phase1 vs. Phase2). Next month I will be down to Cash5/Match6/Powerball and the following m...

LoopRS out, LRS in
After saving MONTHS of handwork in excel with a new LRS VB6 engine, I can say without doubt that out-of-position repeats are definitely NOT a factor. Testing over 4000 draws on cash5 and almost 1000 in powerball, LoopRS produces much lower counts than the strictly positional LRS. I am finishing up May with the new numbers for P3/P4/C5/PB straight off the LRS sheets, and will be working towards the next phase for June... Error Correction! This one is lifted directly off an ol...

no sex for 40 percent of japan
TOKYO (March 14) - The secret behind Japan's plunging birth rate? A record 39.7 percent of Japanese citizens ages 16-49 have not had sex for over a month - up 5 percentage points from two years ago - according to a survey published this week by the Japan Family Planning Association. Among married couples, the rate was only slightly lower, at 34.6 percent. This is very bad news for the country's birth rate, and something the government needs to look into urgently,...

(Continued)
Keno analysis update underway and going well. The base spreadsheet used in this process still works and was adequate at the inception of this effort. But, in the ongoing work of the process, there are certain items I wish I had included to make data entry and processing simpler, easier and faster. It's evolutionary, and occurs in every project in whi...
