I was the best math person at my school. My school chose me for academic decathelon. I competed in against schools in Phoenix and I got a 3rd place medal in science in the academic decaythelon. I am the third best science student for my grade level in all of phoenix.
This makes me giggle.
When's the President going to call?
I'm the High Priest of God's official temple. I'm like King Solomon -- very important.

It is a covenant that you offer something before consulting God. <F7>
He wants praise and hymns and stuff or just witty conversation.
You only get a response if you do a good offering.
The story of Cain and Abel is the most important. Do an offering, see if He likes it and love God so much you'd kill out of jealousy. God talked to everybody in the Bible because they did offerings all day and night in the Bible.

A person probably explains what to do when you meet the queen.
I like this. I saw a video on one of these that laid pipes and was part of a big network off shore of New Orleans.
This is soothing.
This makes me happy.
Humbling. I like being humbled. What if these people came to work on God's Temple? Oh, well. If they don't have work, they can do offerings and learn about dinosaurs.
I use the 14Mhz HPET for a random number for each word with keypress.
I can use 5 different quantum random websites.
NIST random beacon.

NIST Randomness Beacon
Summary:
NIST is implementing a prototype source of public randomness. The prototype (at https://beacon.nist.gov/home) uses two independent commercially available sources of randomness, each with an independent hardware entropy source and SP 800-90-approved components.
The Beacon is designed to provide unpredictability, autonomy, and consistency. Unpredictability means that users cannot algorithmically predict bits before they are made available by the source. Autonomy means that the source is resistant to attempts by outside parties to alter the distribution of the random bits. Consistency means that a set of users can access the source in such a way that they are confident that they all receive the same random string.
Description:
The Beacon will broadcast full-entropy bit-strings in blocks of 512 bits every 60 seconds. Each such value is time-stamped and signed, and includes the hash of the previous value to chain the sequence of values together. This prevents all, even the source, from retroactively changing an output packet without being detected. The beacon keeps all output packets and makes them available online.

Uses:
Tables of random numbers have probably been used for multiple purposes at least since the Industrial Revolution. The first published table appears to be by the English statistician L.H.C. Tippett. In the digital age, algorithmic random number generators have largely replaced these tables. The NIST Randomness Beacon expands the use of randomness to multiple scenarios in which the latter methods cannot be used. The extra functionalities stem mainly from three features. First, the Beacon-generated numbers cannot be predicted before they are published. Second, the public, time-bound, and authenticated nature of the Beacon allows a user application to prove to anybody that it used truly random numbers not known before a certain point in time. Third, this proof can be presented offline and at any point in the future. For example, the proof could be mailed to a trusted third party, encrypted and signed by an application, only to be opened if needed and authorized.
NIST encourages the community at large to research and publish novel ways in which this tool can be used. A few examples of applications are described below:
Unpredictable Sampling
New Secure Authentication Mechanisms
Secure Multi-party Computation
A Quantum Source:
Commercially available physical sources of randomness are adequate as entropy sources for currently envisioned applications of the Beacon. However, demonstrably unpredictable values are not possible to obtain in any classical physical context. Given this fact, our team established a collaboration with NIST physicists from the Physical Measurement Laboratory (PML). The aim is to use quantum effects to generate a sequence of truly random values, guaranteed to be unpredictable, even if an attacker has access to the random source. In August 2012, this project was awarded a multi-year grant from NIST's Innovations in Measurement Science (IMS) Program. IMS awards highly competitive projects designed to explore high-risk, leading-edge research concepts that anticipate future measurement and standards needs of industry and science.

Locality-Loophole-Free Bell Test
A space-time diagram illustrating a locality-loophole-free Bell test. In this test, entangled photons are verified to have correlations that exceed the maximum level possible with any predetermined (or classical) states. To demonstrate this unequivocally, it is important to make sure that the measurements performed on one photon cannot, by any means within the bounds of physics, influence the measurement of the other photon. Such an influence, if it were to exist, could allow fully predetermined states to appear to share quantum correlations. Conducting the two measurements outside of each other's light cones ensures this measurement independence. In the space-time diagram above, the speed of light is depicted by rays at ±45 degrees, and also represents the maximum speed at which information about any event could (conceivably) propagate away from the origin of the event. Therefore, positions outside the cone formed by the rays from any event represent locations and times that could not possibly have received any information from the event. In the loophole-free test illustrated above, entangled photons are emitted from the source and propagate in opposite directions towards receivers Alice and Bob. At some point in time, indicated by "i" and "j," Alice and Bob each independently choose how to measure the properties of the photon each will receive. To conduct a locality-loophole-free Bell test, Alice and Bob must complete their chosen measurements (Ai,and Bj, determining results a and b, respectively.) before any information about the other's choice could possibly reach their location; Alice must complete her measurement before the rays emanating from the event "j" intersect her location, similarly Bob must complete his measurement outside the light cone of event "i." Closing this and other loopholes in the Bell test provide certification that no information about the state of the photons could have been available prior to its observation, assuring that the correlations could not have been predetermined. That guarantee of no predetermination of the photon system and its measurement results, will ultimately be used to produce random bits that can be assured to be both random and unknown to anyone before a certain time.
Microsoft has shamelessly spread fear to drive people to safe companies. Now, Microsft is going to Hell. God is perfectly just. You can trust that the people are going to hell too.
I use master slave multicore. It's simple -- only core zero is used until an app requests a spawned task on another core. All tasks on all cores can access all memory at all times -- it is all identity-mapped. thread is same as process.
No GPU (bad in a way) but enables CPU multicore graphics. I try to keep cores from writing to same areas, without lock on screen bitmap.
