Thoughts that are swarming in my head after I've watched "Avatar" movie

First of all, I'd like to mention I used a screen version of this film for this study. It was shotted in Ukraine (as embedded subs are in Ukrainian), it had English sound (except the those blue aliens speech - who really cares about translation when you don't have to understand anything - there's not any information in their speech, only bare emotions are there). So, thanks to the lots of people who helped me to see this movie free of charge. Certainly, as I liked this story, I will go to the cinema and watch it there.

I'd like to mention some connections between famous Russian story "The snail on the slope" by Strugatsky brothers: Pandora as a name, hostile environment, problems with contacts between locals and humans. The differences are: the style of aliens, corporative greed, happy end. You really should read it here.

As for me, the humanoids at Pandora aren't people, but during the movie they are treated as humans. But I don't really care about this, I only care about resources for the industry of Earth, as it is the only source of research tools that are used in science. In the end of this story our planet lost a huge source of minerals. But why did this happen?

Let's go step-by-step what problems were encountered by human society@Pandora:
1. Moral problems: betrayal of scientists, including main scientific advisor of colony. The origin of the problem is lack of understanding between CEO and CSA. Probably it's because of personal interest of CSA in tis case: most of useful information was mixed with girlish cryings about 'poor aliens'.
2. Intellectual problems: the attack of wild animals wasn't predicted by modeling of Pandora's network. The problem existed because no-one could do scientists' work instead of them. The peoples' specializations were too narrow there.
3. Military problems - as there was a fighting in direct contact with bulk biomass, and defeat was theoretically predictable, launching ballistic nuclear rockets was quite a good choice.
After I've understood I'm staring at the process of moral, intellectual and military defeat of Earth, the movie became really satyric: we've got mentally deficient democrats here (scientists, I mean), stupid republicans (military troops) and highly incompetent administration.
Here, almost all problems of modern society were reviewed in this movie.
Of course I can understand the main character of this story (Jack): he's got some psychological problems because of his injuries - so he doesn't care about whom he betrays, he just likes walking and running and all that stuff. Probably, he is a product of inappropriate health services.

Sum: lack of communication and understanding between main institutions of society (army, science, government) and poor psychological state of minorities lend to the of the crush of lots of opportunities that could become a real breakthrough in the Earth's technologies and social life.

That's my point of view. It's quite personal and I don't pretend this is truth.

Coupled clusters@GAMESS

Dear Santa!
I'm really sad because of absence of PCM interface in coupled-clusters. Also I'd like to have G3MP2 for open-shell structures and less memory-confusing coupled clusters code. Oh, forgotten: parallelisation of cc for open-shell systems))

I've got a blog in Russian. It is hosted @diary.ru.

RXN

RXN is an abbreviation for "reaction". Really, I was surprised of seeing some unusual pictograms like deltaHrxn in a JACS article, so 20 minutes of my time were wasted for googling "Hrxn". Now, I think I was really stupid than.

cluster setup

One of the most basic moves during cluster's equipment is setup of the firewall. As usually in linux, I had to read and understand quite sophisticated manual of the iptables. And now, occasionally, the only command I've had to execute was

# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

Of course, my routing and ips' editing were quite time-consuming too. But now, as yum begins its work, almost all problems of installation are less painful))

Toefl test

On the 22th I've taken the TOEFL test. Currently I pray to have more than 90 points.

Unfortunately, I've got 88 points because of failure in speech. Really, I do have to practice more!

can the TB be cured?

Today a brochure about TB was given to me as a bonus to a railway ticket. Any word is printed about MDR TB. So, from their point of view any TB can be cured in Ukraine. I point your attention about their lies.

communism

So, I will go to the Donetsk communis party of ukraine's office tomorrow. There I'll decide what is CPU (funny, but that isn't a central processing unit) today: is it a way of saving privileges and lifestyle of KPSS beurocracy, or really progressive movement.
How will I do this? I'll give them a new project of estabilishing free hostels here - and see how they'll react.

The god doesn't exists

"The God doesn't exist, and catholic god doesn't exist especially" - so says one of my post-communist lecturers in Donetsk national university. Really, I'm agreed with him. People who are deeply religious are really unintersting for me - they got output for their sacred words, but they don't have input for my sarcasic rationalism, so isn't it more interesting to talk to the sky - at least, it doesn't sound with nonsence.

DDI

Distributed Data Interface (DDI) is used inGamess-US package for launching quantum chemistry distributedly. I'm going to change it for the purpose of launcing in BOINC wrapper. Unfortunately, I don't have any skills in C coding. But who cares?

the very first message here

Talking to myself or talking to the public - were is difference here? So, I'm going to talk to the universe here, while impoving my English writing skills. So, if you will see any mystakes - please, tell me about this.
