Aliens and Microtechnology

I have a strange feeling that aliens have visited this planet for eons and they were not interested in following progress of us.

What to us monkeys feel to them we are galactic humanoids less interestingly than to our own monkeys.

I also has a strange feeling that sometime in 1940s after the atomic bomb testing they visited us to warn us, the benovelent type.

That means not only one type many had been visiting us some recharging their strange vehicles using earth magnetic field, uninvited of course, on their  way forward to other arenas of their interest.

How they bypass the Van Allen Belt is a mystery.

Somewhere down the line there would have been a major encounter with the use of scalar x-ray technology by the humans. 

Having known our aggressive intents they have kept  abey.

I see nothing wrong with our aggression and this is our planet and we have the every right to defend ourselves, whatever the counter argument of galactic diplomacy.

We have not yet fused into a galactic federation but they being early galactic travellers may already have formed such avenues to avoid full blown conflicts.

Then there is a possibility of sinister secret human organizations  that may have forged alliances with not so benovelent aliens who want the earth to themselves and want to decimate the world population.

They could bring in a galactic virus in the range of heat resistant RNA.

There is no need for us to have stations in Mars but the Moon must be a base already in possession of aliens who inhabit there and keeping a check on us.

The Americans and Russians failure to establish a base in the moon speaks volumes.

Apart from hostile physical environment Van Allen Belt is a major obstacle.

These are the questions I would like to have answers as a global citizen before I kick the bucket.

I think except for radar, integrated circuits, laser beam, night vision glasses and cellphones are reverse engineered toys captured by us from encounters with aliens.

It took a very long time for us to develop a nice looking cellphone.

I am not saying Steve Job is an alien but he was one who could figure out making alien technology on earth.

Aliens would have destroyed their intergalactic radio communication equipments for fear of reprisals and location of their origin.

The early visitors are like men in black type of secret service guys.

They must be visiting us only in the night to avoid capture.

Their  bases probably are in space not visible to us and metals they use must be transparent like our glass.

It is the atomic arrangement that gives the strength of materials and transparency.

All.these are vivid speculations and a few are plausible but my gut feeling is we are not alone in this universe and those who know the facts and keep them away from public eye are doing a disservice to humanity and its progress.

One fact in this list is true.

Aliens had been.visiting us for eons.

Pyramids in Egypt and south American monuments are the vestige of previous encounters that are recorded in mysterious ways.

Even the Ruwanweli Stupa is a monument to aliens if we take the Buddhist label away.

Buddha never wanted massive structures built in his name.

If that was the case then India would have had many built soon after his demise but all big structures came during King Asoka, the great.

I believe big religious organizations who want the public to be in the dark and protect their private domains untouched, to be blamed for this secrecy.

The secret organizations (CIA,  KGB and MI5-6) should protect the masses not their masters.

Truth may be bitter but  not knowing it is even bitter.

Comparison of Linux Operating System to Microsoft Windows

This piece comes thanks to BSD and I am installing BSD on.a 16 GB USB stick.and it has clocked over three hours.

Painful but Coronavirus has taught me to be patient, not going out for Window Shopping for over one year and more.

There is no comparison.

They are poles apart.

Windows are inherently vulnerable.

One of my loose potential student but who was disqualified since he boasted he attacked Sirisena's Web site using Windows.

Immediately I gave him a call and told him no more emails from me or Linux updates.

One is a robust operating.system that has gone to the Moon and Mars.

The other is earth bound PC host that started playing DOS games mounted on Windows.

I was in UK in 1980s.

I did not have much money to buy even a Sinclair's Spectrum  or an Amstrad,  leave alone RadioShack gadgets.

Instead I spent money on old HiFi system with 4 pieces.

The Commodore Amiga 128 was coming and they dumped the Commodore 64 in a supermarket store, name which I forget.

It was a perfect bargain for a doctor who knew nothing about computing then.

But I knew the computer was the future and not having kids I encouraged my wife to learn word processing correspondence course.

I knew nothing about word processing and our medical clerk did all the typing of GP correspondences.

I knew she was secretly learning Word Processing.

The Commodore had to be supported by a external floppy driver with the old large format.

I bought a small format floppy driver,too.

Within three months due to voltage swings in Ceylon Electricity Board, the power pack went bust and ended my computer versatility.

It was good but I still did make a small database of addresses on another computer piece, name of which I forget.

Then I gave that piece of gadget to one of my friends who is no more, free with all the books.

I also bought Atari to play DOS games.

Then next my entry point was my son wanting an upgrade for gaming, a real PC.

I did some homework and assembled a computer with the help of a Muslim friend of mine.

This guy was a sweet guy he used to give all the PCs without down payment and his company went bust, in.spite of my warning.

He took up car sales. 

The RAM.was 2 MB, I could not upgrade by another 1 MB then, parts not available.
Two disk drives.
A floppy drive.
2 GB Hard Disk.

Now the crunch point 40 odd Windows floppies to boot windows 95.

I did not try Windows 3.1.

Fed up I booted Linux live CDs and Knoppix.

Managed to find 6 CDs of Debian and got on with Linux, never stopping.

I gave up Debian since I did not have manuals, books or Internet connection.

I did go to Redhat 8 with two CDs and Mandrake was my favourite.

I gave up Redhat after Fedora.

I still have a Mandrake in a USB and it still boots live.

Live booting Linux was my ultimate goal.

Then I was into all out Linux and had 13 computers (13 is a lucky number for me, computationally speaking) and a Linux network at home without a server.

I dismantled this network due to high cost for electricity which all the IBM computers consumed and contributed.

I bought all IBM computers dished out by Alpha Digital Company branch in Kandy.

This company bought all the discarded computers from America.

I never paid more than Rs.12,000/= for a computer except the Apple Globe, I spent Rs.25,000/=(I never used it except testing Redhat).

By that time, I had migrated to Peppermint Linux and never Ubuntu.

PCLinux was my workhorse.

At that time configuring a server was difficult without a terminal wizardry and router extension was enough for my functionality.

Our Telecoms (modem connection with a call) did not have a router then and I bought a good router from Singapore.

I had some connection in Singapore due to frequent visits there under Rs.8000/= return  ticket, then.

Unfortunately router had to be configured using Windows and Telecoms did not support Linux, then.

Coming back to comparison witn Windows.
Linux uses resources amicably and intelligently.

It is smooth and fast in executing as many as 8 functions (may be more but I only used a maximum 4 functions) then in 4 workplaces.

I really loved the workplaces which Windows have no substitute.

Windows is bulky and even mounting a word file with many macros is painfully slow.

I started using OpenOffice from Solaris which became LibreOffice.

If I open a word file in office, I immediately remove the macros.

I had two computers of my own at office, one for office work and the other for Linux testing and installing.

I even used XandrOS which supported Windows for a  while.

My real craze was partitioning two hard disks and having as much as 8 current Linux distributions running but finally settled down to Debian which almost every distribution (except probably Slackware, the oldest Linux distribution, I believe and Arch) descended from.

Ubuntu is Debian based.

I never used Arch due to its strict architecture and lack of desktops.

Use one of its derivatives, instead if you like.Arch.

I can write a book on the differences and it is a total waste of time.

I have erased the last copy of Windows of my Laptop 5 years ago.

You see how much I hate Microsoft.

I have few books published and the cheapest and the smallest is "Linux in a nutshell", I wrote using AbiWord.

I could not download AbiWord to my Android but use WPS instead (not LibreOffice which is bulky now).

I hope AbiWord wake up from slumber, after reading this piece and put a light derivative to run on all Androids.

Then, my next book will come from an Android (I have several Androids in my possession).
I have several.books planed but having.a long break.thanks to Coronavirus.

Nobody in bad frame of mind and paranoia will read a book, nowadays.
