			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Mr. Adams,<br />
Thanks for writing the <a href="http://davesource.com/Fringe/Fringe/Entertainment/Books/Scott_Adams.Gods_Debris.pdf" target="_blank" title="God's Debris"><span class="st">God&#8217;s</span> </a><span class="st"><a href="http://davesource.com/Fringe/Fringe/Entertainment/Books/Scott_Adams.Gods_Debris.pdf" target="_blank" title="God's Debris">Debris </a></span>, it does makes one wonder, at least it does IT to me.<br />
Though<br />
I wish it acknowledged about Hindu-Advaita philosophy (May be some easy<br />
palatable, theoretically, interpretations of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Life_Divine" target="_blank" title="Divine Life">Sri Aurobindo </a>or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Jnana-Yoga-Swami-Vivekananda/dp/0911206213" target="_blank" title="Yoga">Swami Vivekananda</a> ) along with Bohr&#8217;s interpretation of Universe (<a href="http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qm-copenhagen/" title="QP">Quantum probabalistic</a> ). Actually I once read something that Einstein also talks about<br />
probability, a very basis for his seminal work in <a href="http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/18/1/3" target="_blank" title="Brownian">brownian motion</a> and his paper on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bose-Einstein_condensate" title="B-E Condensate">Bose-Einstein condensate</a> is just about that (though he never like the idea of quantum theory in general).<br />
While reading the <span class="st">God&#8217;s</span> <span class="st">debris</span><br />
probability, I could relate it to &#8216;Infinite Improbability Drive&#8217; of<br />
&#8216;The Hitch Hiker&#8217;s Guide to the Galaxy&#8217; (Douglas Adams) in a very<br />
strange way which I am not `aware of&#8230;</p>
<p>Regarding light being wave/particle, it is interesting to see the similarity between Prof. Feynman&#8217;s thought and <span class="st">God&#8217;s</span> <span class="st">Debris</span>, but to end the debate, he did say it is particle which behaves like <a href="http://www.vega.org.uk/video/programme/45" target="_blank" title="Nature of Photon">wave </a>in an ensemble. What about different level of energy transfers with different kinds of electromagnetic wave (infrared, visible spectrum, ultraviolet) and gamma-rays (all massless).<br />
Since the Debris is evolving towards God&#8217;s consciousness, I guess every bit should have alsoo the information for the path to follow. So in your view, does the bits have all the information for the path to follow (which I am assuming is DNA for us humans) thus how come monozygotic twins follow different paths? Or collectively these bits guide each other? Generally what was your thought on how consciousness emerge in the God&#8217;s Debris (ies?)?<br />
Last quarter seems to refute the things laid in earlier 3/4th of the article. Coin toss is valid if the events are independent, but if they are moving towards a desired goal, it would follow <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_chain" target="_blank" title="Markov Chain">markov chain</a>. Morover the probability of getting a predefined set is multiplication of probability of individual events and though it might appear to be independent but if we look as whole, probability will get extremely low for that string. Eg, probability of getting 4 head in 4 tosses is 1/16 and 3 heads is 1/4 (4 times the earlier event). So what are your thoughts on the directionality of system?\n<br />
Hey thanks for the &#8216;advice on women&#8217; of the God&#8217;s Debris, it does help <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
Warm regards,<br />
Animesh<br />
PS: Sorry for my spelling and grammar errors, English is not my first language, Bhojpuri (An Indian Dialect) is. \n<br />
And yes I guess I am suffering from the Skeptic&#8217;s disease <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>&#8220;Conversation is more than the sum of the words&#8230;&#8221;<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Guys I need to switch from FreeBSD to Windows for a while and thus I am trying to run MySQL with PHP on Windows IIS (Yes it is possible!).<br />Here are the steps:<br />1. Install MySQL from http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-essential-5.0.27-win32.msi/from/http://mirror.x10.com/mirror/mysql/ and put the mysql-install-dir/bin/ in the Windows PATH Variable. Instruction available at php site http://in.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopath .<br />To test installation open command-prompt and type &#8220;telnet localhost 3306&#8243; [without quotes]. This should dump the following junk in the console:</p>
<p>7<br />&nbsp;4.1.14-nt#UpU;dh[n,☻8i.CJ(&amp;'1_m(</p>
<p>Press ENTER and get rid of it, your MYSQL is working!<br />If this fails, then you might need to start the service of mysql by tryping "net start mysql" [without quotes]. Then try telnet as earlier.</p>
<p>Remember the password you have set up for the root login of mysql, we will need it in step3.</p>
<p>2. Install PHP in C:/PHP folder by downloading MSI from&nbsp; http://in.php.net/get/php-5.2.0-win32-installer.msi/from/www.php.net/mirror&nbsp; and then download http://in.php.net/get/php-5.2.0-Win32.zip/from/www.php.net/mirror and extract into the C:/php folder as well (Yes it will overwrite many files, let it do, because we need the files in EXT folder). Download and extract the dlls from http://in.php.net/get/pecl-5.2.0-Win32.zip/from/www.php.net/mirror in c:/php/ext if you plan to use those extra PHP Dll&#8217;s (not needed for our job though).<br />Make sure that C:/PHP/ext directory has the php_mysql.dll otherwise download this specific dll from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/php/ (Direct link: http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/Connector-PHP/php_5.2.0_mysql_5.0.27-win32.zip/from/pick ) and extract the dll into C:/PHP/ext .<br />Add PHP to PATH as explained in http://in.php.net/manual/en/faq.installation.php#faq.installation.addtopath .<br />Now to test PHP installation create a file phpinfo.php inside the C:/Inetpub/wwwroot and type just the following one line and save:</p>
<p>&lt;?php phpinfo(); ?&gt;</p>
<p>Now open the browser and type http://localhost/phpinfo.php and you should see the PHP Version and other details about your PHP Installation. Enjoy <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>3. Now to manage MySQL, there is a cool tool called phpMyAdmin which can be downloaded from http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpmyadmin/phpMyAdmin-2.9.1.1-all-languages-utf-8-only.zip?download . You need to extract this in a folder. For me it is C:/phpMyAdmin.<br />Now you need to do certain tweaks to make it work.<br />Create a file config.inc.php inside the C:/phpMyAdmin and type the following:<br />&lt;?php</p>
<p>$i=0;<br />$i++;<br />$cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type'] = &#8216;config&#8217;; <br />$cfg['Servers'][$i]['port'] = &#8217;3306&#8242;;<br />$cfg['Servers'][$i]['user'] = &#8216;root&#8217;;<br />$cfg['Servers'][$i]['password'] = &#8216;password-of-mysql-for-root&#8217;;</p>
<p>?&gt;</p>
<p>Save the config.inc.php file. </p>
<p>Now open the C:/WINDOWS/php.ini file and search for &#8220;extension_dir &#8220;. Replace the line with:<br />extension_dir = &#8220;C:/PHP/ext/&#8221;</p>
<p>Also uncomment the line saying extension=php_mysql.dll in the C:/WINDOWS/php.ini .<br />Now save the C:/WINDOWS/php.ini file.</p>
<p>You need to give &#8216;web share&#8217; access to&nbsp; C:/phpMyAdmin directory by opening it in explorer and right-click&nbsp; on the C:/phpMyAdmin directory and&nbsp; go to &#8216;properties&#8217;&nbsp; now in the pop-up window&nbsp; go to &#8216;web-sharing&#8217; tab and select the share-this-folder radio button and this will pop-up (I know it is windows and this sounds like pop-up-video of VH1). Write phpMyAdmin in the ALIAS Text Box of pop-up and select on WRITE and SCRIPT SOURCE ACCESS box. In APPLICATION PERMISSION choose SCRIPTS radio button.</p>
<p>To test phpMyAdmin open http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/index.php in browser and you should see &#8220;localhost phpMyAdmin &#8211; 2.9.1.1&#8243;. You are done with this now <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>4. For PERL. you need http://www.activestate.com/store/activeperl/download anyways, so click and download it first. Install this in C:/PERL directory then use the instruction at http://www.visualwin.com/Perl/ .</p>
<p>To test the PERL &#8211; CGI installation, create a file called test.pl inside the directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin and type:<br />#!/usr/bin/perl<br />$time=time;$len=80;<br />print &#8220;Content-type:text/html\n\n&#8221;;<br />@base=qw/A T G C/;<br />print &#8220;&gt;Seq$time $len random bases&lt;p&gt;&#8221;;<br />while($c&lt;$len){<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; $c++;<br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; print &#8220;@base[int(rand(4))]&#8220;;<br />}</p>
<p>Now save the test.pl and test weather the link http://localhost/cgi-bin/test.pl generates a random DNA Fasta file of 80 bases.</p>
<p>In the next tutorial I will lead you into creating a bioinformatics database of sequences and then using it to align using muscle and store back in MySQL db&#8230; till then bye!</p>
