Re: Twitter Profit House Review (reviewopedia)

This is really funny. Reviewopedia has a new "review" up about another scam. Here's what they have to say:

These people will stop at nothing to legitimize their offers as shown by the way they advertise their products. The classic characteristics of these campaigns include using fake blogs, developing websites to resemble newspaper articles, and using IP reading scripts to regionally customize their offers.

Fake blog? Doesn't that sound familiar? Reviewopedia itself is essentially a fake blog. In fact it is more of a fake community review site. Posing as a review site where people could share opinions about various opportunities, it is in fact all written by one author, Steve Albright. Every article ends the same way: "This opportunity is a scam, but check out mine." Steve collects your email address with a link at the bottom of every article and then sends you his "opportunities". One of them, partnerwithpaul is COMPLETELY deceptive. (see my post about partnerwithpaul) As it turns out, partnerwithpaul is just a way to charge you money and then tell you to join Herbalife. His other opportunity, "operation payday," looks like a clone of partnerwithpaul.

But what about those comments at the bottom of all the reviewopedia articles? They are cherry picked. Notice how they all agree almost 100% of the time. Besides, whether or not Twitter Profit House is a scam is not contested. Sure it is. But Steve Albright is attempting to take advantage of those who make an effort to research it. Of course, no comment exposing HIM would EVER get through on his own site.

Myspace phishing alert: false positive

Myspace did something stupid again. They automatically blocked my account, labeling it as a phished account. They think I entered my log in details elsewhere on the internet and it was collected by spammers.

Problem is I didn't. And now they want me to change my password again?



The false positive is because I replied to a message that was from someone who was phished. It contained a link that was obviously trying to install a virus. I was telling them to get their account fixed. The reply automatically contains a quote of the message and ergo the virus link. Because I sent a message containing a virus link, myspace has automatically declared me a phished account.

Teleportation

Until today I found the current understanding of teleportation to be disturbing. A copy of you would be made while the original was destroyed and, along with it, possibly your soul or your soul's connection to the universe. But today I have read more about the subject that changed my mind. The destruction of the original is inherent due to laws of quantum mechanics. In order to make the "copy," the "original" has to be destroyed.

This is what I didn't understand before.

I had thought that a copy would be made, and the original destroyed as a convenience in order to prevent problems of two people with the same identity. Clone and kill. Disgusting.

But this is different. Your state is perpetuated, never existing in two places at once, and never ceasing to exist. Just as it would if you were never teleported. I believe the soul travels with this perpetuating state, not with the atoms that comprise it. But I would like there to be a greater understanding of the relationship between the soul and the universe before this is taken as fact.

Scientists of today do not often speak of souls. Instead they have observers. To me, the soul is the observer and it is the single most fundamental aspect of existence. Everything known comes through perception, which is observation. To me, a vivid dream is more real than a distant spiral galaxy.

It is of utmost importance that the soul (or its connection to the universe) be preserved throughout any use of technology. Otherwise, it's not really you coming out the other end. Much like the movie "The Prestige," this has disturbing implications.

This is exactly what I found to be disturbing about teleportation until today. But today I find that the quantum laws that do not allow this information to be copied without being destroyed, nudges my intuition towards the concept of soul as a function of structure state. Here I speak in math terms because they are familiar to me and are analogous to the current situation. The state of the structure of your mind is what determines which particular soul is plugged into it. The output of a function is not ambiguous, it either has 1 value or 0. The soul is determined by the structure of your mind without ambiguity. And the mind perpetuates itself into the next instant in such a way that the same soul is output. This continuity would not be interrupted by a teleportation process that recreates the structure exactly.

A possible test would be teleporting a person and storing their information. Then recreate their structure twice. If both persons have the same soul, my intuition is confirmed.

Fanbox! Jeez!

I kept getting these annoying emails from fanbox. They give you the option to change the frequency of your mail between receiving mail always or never so I changed it to never. But I still got their stupid emails until I found the link to permanently delete the account they had automatically made for me. Jerks.

Jim in the box

I saw a weird Jack in the Box commercial featuring Jack's incarcerated and lopsided brother Jim. I thought it might be some weird pun about his incarceration being "Jim in the box" so I searched for the term. Instead, I found a bizarre youtube of a clown feeding wasps to a guy chained to the floor.
