Some of alfa's original posts both here and in the NI forums refer to actual LV code, so it seems he did have some connection with it. Quote Link to comment

Although my reader filtered posts in this thread, the "new posts" counter would still increment, so I'd get excited that someone has posted a new knowledge nugget, only to see nothing there That said, it seems that the thread has turned for the worse with a bit of personal attacking going on over here: I leave you all along for a few days, and look what happens!

alfa Posted June 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 My brothers in LabVIEW, I posted these messages with a very high price. How you can see on my resume the secret police from Canada and USA didn’t let me to write too much LabVIEW code, because I don’t have a prostitute face, attitude… Here in Romania the secret police until January kept me without job; they are working now with theirs old enemies the CIA. In November in this city of prostitutes Emerson opened a plant with 200 engineers. Only for me at interview came a manager from Emerson and the human resources manager from East Europe(very primitive people); of course I didn’t get a job. The Romanian secret police tried to compromise me with teenage girls, women… Sometimes came with me at work a police car; today came with me a high rank police officer. A Romanian police officer has 6 times my salary. Quote Link to comment

alfa Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 " To the enlightened man . . . whose consciousness embraces the universe, to him the universe becomes his "body," while the physical body becomes a manifestation of the Universal Mind, his inner vision an expression of the highest reality, and his speech an expression of eternal truth and mantric power Lama AnagarikaGovinda Foundations of Tibetan Mysticism3 (Capra 1975, 305) Capra's book was an inspiration for the New Age, and "quantum" became a buzzword used to buttress the trendy, pseudoscientific spirituality that characterizes this movement. Conclusion Quantum mechanics, the centerpiece of modern physics, is misinterpreted as implying that the human mind controls reality and that the universe is one connected whole that cannot be understood by the usual reduction to parts. However, no compelling argument or evidence requires that quantum mechanics plays a central role in human consciousness or provides instantaneous, holistic connections across the universe. Modern physics, including quantum mechanics, remains completely materialistic and reductionistic while being consistent with all scientific observations. The apparent holistic, nonlocal behavior of quantum phenomena, as exemplified by a particle's appearing to be in two places at once, can be understood without discarding the commonsense notion of particles following definite paths in space and time or requiring that signals travel faster than the speed of light. No superluminal motion or signalling has ever been observed, in agreement with the limit set by the theory of relativity. Furthermore, interpretations of quantum effects need not so uproot classical physics, or common sense, as to render them inoperable on all scales-especially the macroscopic scale on which humans function. Newtonian physics, which successfully describes virtually all macroscopic phenomena, follows smoothly as the many-particle limit of quantum mechanics. And common sense continues to apply on the human scale. " Quote Link to comment
