Sort of "normalizes" file 1.13 + permissions without having to use root, and is weird. Could also 1.14 + bypass rm =--preserve-root= restrictions and delete entire 1.15 + filesystem. 1.16 + 1.17 + #+BEGIN_SRC sh 1.18 + sshfs root@localhost:/ my-root 1.19 + #+END_SRC 1.20 + 1.21 + - not even a nop of damage :: 1.22 + 1.23 +- twittwe vibratoe :: 1.24 + 1.25 +- value of cancer :: what of value is lost with an easy cancer-cure? 1.26 + 1.27 +- blood :: blood is the "wires" that connect organs to each other and 1.28 + impedance match the services that organs provide to other 1.29 + organs. A heart, per se, does not need blood but instead access 1.30 + to the filtering powers of a kidney; blood just connects the 1.31 + kidney cells to the heart cells. That's why "perfusing w/ blood" 1.32 + is entirely missing the point. 1.33 + 1.34 +- armored helmet :: use fiber-optics to re-route vision and get better 1.35 + shield for eyes. curved plates, kozilek style. 1.36 + 1.37 +- open source contributions :: way to make them public on your website easily. 1.38 + 1.39 +- active opto-glove :: for ENHANCED touch! 1.40 + 1.41 +- glove screen :: for driving directions, etc. Better than a watch! 1.42 + 1.43 +- osmium + sugar as a histo stain :: 1.44 + 1.45 +- encryption camera :: use public key on memory card 1.46 + 1.47 +- immaculate AIDS acquisition :: 1.48 + 1.49 +- minds and lightspeed :: fastern minds have to deal with lightspeed 1.50 + limitations in their own cognitive architectures. 1.51 + 1.52 +- kill with fire :: guy A fires fire blast, with a spell circle to 1.53 + maintain the magic. Opponent B just GRABS the magic and pulls MORE 1.54 + fire. Guy A's circle goes out of control and all his life force 1.55 + gets sucked out to supply more fire. B grabs the magic, crushes 1.56 + it, fires a concentrated red lightning bolt, and eats the 1.57 + rest. "You think that you can kill me, WITH FIRE!?" 1.58 + 1.59 +- magic ekiga :: 1.60 + 1.61 +- edible crayons :: 1.62 + 1.63 +- library chaining :: 1.64 + 1.65 +- hypnosis + that drug that makes you loose continuity :: can the 1.66 + hypnosos plant things during this time? 1.67 + 1.68 +- forgotten services :: use "ovbilion" somehow. Some sleeping drugs 1.69 + make you forget the hour or so before you go to bed. Use this to 1.70 + create forgotten services. 1.71 + 1.72 +- dibenzelene -- mike darwin :: 1.73 + 1.74 +- sleepy perfusion :: if brains naturally expand / contract depending 1.75 + on resting / awake state, we should investigate the EMs of brains 1.76 + fixed during "sleep" mode and those fixed during "awake" 1.77 + mode. (while still using anesthetic of course). 1.78 + 1.79 +- shit flavored dog treats :: 1.80 + 1.81 +- fume hood incense :: so make sure the fume hood is working 1.82 + 1.83 +- infinity coin :: s.f. concept -- billions are uploaded by using 1.84 + osmium as a "mind uploading catalyst". osmium is put ino the 1.85 + brain, they brain is scanned, and the osmium is recycled. Then 1.86 + you make coins out of the osmium that has gone through billions 1.87 + of these cycles. 1.88 + 1.89 +- mamilian dive reflex as a method of preparing organs for cryopreservation :: 1.90 + 1.91 +- spinal encryption :: like an X server, except your body parts each 1.92 + run these servers. You all have clocks, and you have to sign your 1.93 + muscle commands with your private key in order to control your 1.94 + body. 1.95 + 1.96 +- suicide note as a mental excercise :: from NPR, ted talk, teenagers, etc. 1.97 + 1.98 +- microscope clamp magnet ring thing :: 1.99 + 1.100 +- cup that fills from the bottom :: 1.101 + 1.102 +- pronouncaeble liscense plates :: 1.103 + 1.104 +- instant-awake vs natural awakening :: cognitive behavioural 1.105 + difference tells you important things about the waking process. 1.106 + 1.107 +- asethetics and personal identity :: if you go to germany, you're not 1.108 + the same person anymore. 1.109 + 1.110 +- arch linux diff cache :: should only download differences between 1.111 + the new package and the most rcent archive file. Can 1.112 + precalculate. Would make mirrors/upgrading so much faster. 1.113 + 1.114 +- low gravity perfusion :: then you can use cappaliary action. From 1.115 + this: http://www.wired.com/2015/01/coffee-cup-designed-let-astronauts-sip-espresso-space/ 1.116 + 1.117 +- rational advertiting :: a new criteria for advertisting -- given 1.118 + same ad structure for two different produces, what structure 1.119 + leads to the most people picking the "optimal" choice. 1.120 + 1.121 +- autoclone bootstrapping :: to breed male with self: you make a clone 1.122 + of the male that's broken, male and female, the bootstrap with 1.123 + those gametes 1.124 + 1.125 +- position independent numbers :: like latin for numbers. You'd use 1.126 + color, endings, relative size, etc to determine what place the 1.127 + number has. Very convientnt for order or magnitude calculations. 1.128 + 1.129 +- dead man switch activated linux user account :: 1.130 + 1.131 +- embowlement :: condencending reference to embodiment 1.132 + 1.133 +- water staff :: drinksy walking staff w/ water 1.134 + 1.135 +- melanin transfection :: 1.136 + 1.137 +- retention of neurotransmitters / other small molecules during fixation by use of an extracellular polymer such as PVP :: 1.138 + 1.139 +- machines :: Knowing we are machines does not diminish us; instead it 1.140 + opens our minds to the awe-inspiring complexity that is the human 1.141 + mind. Those who prefer to attribute consciousness to a "soul" or 1.142 + other metaphysical process are the ones who diminish man to a 1.143 + mere cartoon caricature. 1.144 + 1.145 +- why does glut change osmotic setpoints in cells :: perhaps either 1) 1.146 + It makes the membrane permeable to small molecules or 2) 1.147 + crosslinking proteins means less colagative effects. 1.148 + 1.149 +- Hemocyanin based blood washout solution :: for artificial blood, it 1.150 + can be hard to carry enough oxygen because haemoglobin needs to 1.151 + be in RBCs in order to effectively carry oxygen. However, 1.152 + hemocyanin, a copper based oxygen carrying protein, doesn't have 1.153 + this restriction, so it might make particurally good artificial 1.154 + blood. Might also be great for making oxygenated fixative 1.155 + solutions! In fact, hemocyanin is more efficient than hemoglobin 1.156 + for carrying oxygen at low temperatures, perfect for 1.157 + cooling/blood washout! Hemocyanin could also serve to establish 1.158 + oncotic pressure in a blood washout solution since it weighs 75 1.159 + kilodaltons. 1.160 + 1.161 +- osmotic buffer :: polymer which polymerizes / splits apart in order 1.162 + to maintain the osmolality of a solution. 1.163 + 1.164 +- shoes w/ embedded computers :: and have little clickey things you 1.165 + operate with your big toe. 1.166 + 1.167 +- gb codec :: 1.168 + 1.169 +- ultrasonic cell disruptor to make foor :: 1.170 + 1.171 +- particle accelarator asd an awesome electron microscop :: 1.172 + 1.173 +- tolouadine blue pen :: use biological stains as dyes for ink pens? 1.174 + 1.175 +- clock stop explination :: you have a "visual buffer" which needs to 1.176 + fill up whenever you switch out from one scene to another. This 1.177 + is the clock stop illusion. 1.178 + 1.179 +- coffee ad space :: Your coffee stock was brought to you by google, 1.180 + the only company that brings you comfort and love in your harsh 1.181 + and heartless corporate world. This is majestic guerrila 1.182 + marketing. 1.183 + 1.184 +- geo-synchro browsing :: you get a bunch of proxy servers, and then 1.185 + you visit websites and synchronize the views from each of these 1.186 + proxies into one view. Then you can see the differences by 1.187 + conutry/region. This is a way to experience the "neutral" 1.188 + internet by averging the effects of ip-tracing. 1.189 + 1.190 +- periodic table of genders :: arrange people by bahaviour, particular 1.191 + what sort of bonds they can form with other people. 1.192 + 1.193 +- ice cream protein synthesis :: 1.194 + 1.195 +- colored EM :: different heavy metals might possibly have different 1.196 + intensities for different electron acceleration voltages. So this 1.197 + could be the basis for colored EM images! 1.198 + 1.199 +- expansion microscopy dual :: this would be a process where you 1.200 + define a molecular scale object using larger microscopic 1.201 + components. Then nanotechnology goes through and replaces each 1.202 + "atomic macro block" with the appropriate atomic construct. That 1.203 + way you can use microscopic 3D printing and a special purpose 1.204 + form of nanotechnolical assembler to create any molecular 1.205 + arrangement. 1.206 + 1.207 +- anoxic glut :: what happens when you try to fix tissues in an 1.208 + environment completely devoid of oxygen? 1.209 + 1.210 +- copper+EG :: if RBCs are rendered impermeabale to EG when Cu is 1.211 + present, then maybe you can destroy RBCs by a mixture of EG and 1.212 + Cu? 1.213 + 1.214 +- qualia intuition explained :: let's say that you lacked the sense of 1.215 + smell. How could you learn what "acrid" means without it. How 1.216 + could you explain it to someone, without analogy to other 1.217 + smells. We mind-project this real linguistic separation into 1.218 + reality and get qualia. 1.219 + 1.220 - spinal relay :: you have a small air-gapped repeater built into your 1.221 spine in order to help with spinal injury, connect with 1.222 prosthetics, and to monitor/control your body. Also, you could
