Artificial Intelligence vs. Humans

Posted on June 14, 2018 by timlyg

Watching the British TV series Humans prompted this question:

Is there any difference between men and machines?

I would say, men believes in miracle, machines do not.

Machines can mimic souls, intelligence and such, but a programmed trust in miracles requires a believe in God, which cannot be built in by creatures who are depraved in knowing God.

This miracle is not the Charismatics kind. It's not about winning lottery nor getting cured of cancer. This is the believe in nothing is impossible for God.

Dummy ACCET Ideology

Posted on June 8, 2018 by timlyg

First it was the IRS that changed my client's relationship with me from 1099 to W4. I'm not sure if they were trying to be "genius" or just following Obama's dumb policy of being "nice to the people".

Now, the ACCET examiner, Christine, I believe, also followed the same path - requiring my client (not quite my client now with W4, is it) to provide me with technology training. As if it's to my benefit.

Sure, it is to my benefit, but not the way they think. On top of reimbursement for the training, I also charge $250 per hour for the course. I bet those idiots from Obama administration can't figure out why they are not the smartest people in the world. They want to give gifts, I take, but I won't say thank you.

Capitalism trumps social fantasy!

Classic Game - Conan: Hall of Volta

Posted on May 26, 2018 by timlyg

I've searched for it before, don't know why I couldn't find it. But now, Youtube is certainly getting more advantageous.

I've played this game before and I remember I used to love it. The unique part was it has a boomerang involved. Played it only at Steven Chua's house, never had the game. Didn't know how to get it since. Of course, it can easily be downloaded now, I think.

Microsoft Office Document Cache has stopped working

Posted on May 22, 2018 by timlyg

Happens to Office 2016 on Windows 7.

Long solution: keeps repairing / reinstalling MS Office eventually works.

Short solution (work around): rename MSOUC.EXE to MSOUC.EXE.BAT ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\MSOUC.EXE")

This happens on a Windows 7 computer, with Office 2016. Set Your Default Programs window shows duplicate Office apps, i.e. Outlook & Outlook (Desktop).

After a long online search, I found a solution, though it's just "a work-around (not as a fix to the fundamental problem)".

The solution is to add the MS Office apps path to the PATH environment Variables. In this case: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16
