"It has to do with a programmer who creates a whole collection of artificial virtual personalities in a virtual world, but he doesn't let them know that they're virtual. So they argue among themselves as to whether there exists a creator, and if so whether they owe him any gratitude for their existence.

Nadat in 1998 het theater 'Prins van Oranje' werd gesloten, opende in 2003 Theater de Mythe haar deuren in Goes. Het theater biedt een brede programmering op het gebied van toneel, cabaret, muziek en dans. Naast professionele artiesten, is er ook ruimte voor amateurgezelschappen.
After the 'Prins van Oranje' theater was closed in 1998, Theater de Mythe opened its doors in Goes in 2003. The theater offers a wide range of drama, cabaret, music and dance programming. In addition to professional artists, there is also room for amateur companies.

I really have the civic name Farmer. But in my youth I needed money. That's why I'm in nuclear power as a programmer and that's why I'm closed 12 hours a day in a dark office. There are 2 computers and 3 monitors. I do not know if it is day or night. That's why I envy the farmers in the fog. He knows it.
I've been in the corporate programming biz since graduating from college with a degree in computer science in 1982. During my ten year tenure at Lever Brothers, I wrote at least 600 interactive and background CICS programs, most of which communicated with VSAM indexed files as well as TS and TD Queues and a 3270 emulator screen. I always found it somewhat strange that such a large corporation didn't use IBM's relational database DB2. Oh well... back to the Newsweek magazine.
Katherine the programmer takes advantage of a quiet moment at Central Perk to finish some of her coding. She has to hurry before the "Friends" cast arrives and finds her sitting on their couch :-)
I took this photo in December 2019.... it's so weird to see the photos that I took right before the pandemic. It's like a time warp.... everything that happened before the pandemic just feels so long ago and in a galaxy far, far away. Like a distant world or something.....
Is anyone going to get the new "Friends" Apartments set? I think it looks awesome but it's very large and I'm running out of space :-)

Beta is a test preview of the change that is getting ready to be implemented soon. It can be for a limited group of flickr members, intended to seek feedback and correct faults ( if any), before it is made public.
Change is good and public has always welcomed good changes. The preference for Windows XP by most people even after the introduction of Vista is a classic example of public acceptance. The public liked and preferred the predecessor ( Windows XP ) and the follower ( Windows 7 and Windows 8 ) versions of Vista. A change is good and often gladly welcomed by public, if it provides more utilities and user friendliness, without depriving even a single advantage of the predecessor.
The Beta version is unacceptable to the majority of Flickr users* ( who happened to experience it ) , because it's not user friendly and has only disadvantages to mention. *Please check the Beta feedback : Completed / Top ideas / Hot ideas
The layout itself is a disaster. Please check : Try our new photo experience beta / Comment box
However they try, it's quite evident that it's impossible to provide more space for descriptions, comment box, and comments; not to mention comments with pictures , group invites / awards. The more they try to fix it, the more cumbersome it becomes. The buddy icons now appear as dots making the page more unaesthetic than what you see in the earlier pictures of beta . They are desperately trying to make it appealing and user friendly, which is literally impossible with the proposed layout .
It's a big challenge for the programmers to try find means to provide more space in a vertical column which is already cramped.

Once again we are at a juncture where the programmers have forced many and especially those that use the English version and paid for premium pro accounts to use the "New Flickr Experience"
The programmers and leadership at Yahoo (i.e. CEO Marissa Mayer) failed to pay attention to the flickr users back on December 8, 2013 (flickr Black Day) and simply ignored the many fine photographers that made flickr what it was.
For the flickr programmers and especially the staff that monitor the forum please know you have once again ignored the users and pandered to advertisers. Really bad idea for flicker to change the old format. We don't mind changes that make it better, but this time your programmers got it WRONG!!!
We all enjoyed this site the way the format was without having the square pictures to the left of the info. The info blocks do not provide us with many of the options we used to have should be left as it was without messing with them and the photo format should NOT have been changed.
I would encourage everyone to only post Red for the next 36 hours and especially on 6 April and I would also encourage folks to use the flickr and Yahoo forum to ensure their voices are heard load and clear to the programming and corporate staff that their changes are making a once great web site horrible.
Simply Flickr staff and the Yahoo CEO (Ms. Mayer) pandering to the advertisers and not to the millions of great photographers that made (past tense) Flickr what it was. Flickr will go the way of AOL and MySpace if the flickr leadership doesn't listen to the photographers that provide the CONTENT and basis of what this web site was supposed to be. We will find a better platform if you make the changes stick or don't fix the multitude of bugs quickly!!!!!!!
Maybe it really is time to try 500px. What say you? What say flickr staff? What say you Ms. Marissa Mayer (CEO of Yahoo)!!

Welcome to all of you in this sixth Opus.
Cellular differentiation could have inspired the famous "Choixpeau" and its unquestionable dictat of impartial, implacable and invariable, or almost invariable, orientation ... .
A few days after the fertilization (the admission therefore) destined to make us become champions of artichoke combat "once we become big", our cells are similar, a kind of crucible in modeling clay, each of which, after their specialization, will keep a trace, like a manufacturer's serial number, throughout the cycles of renewal and evolution.
Before a very precise specification, the so-called naive cells (neutral, raw material TO BE DONE) will present themselves to 3 architects/programmers/cooks who are the three basic incubators of all the cells that will make us BECOME, we are here in the Human, Between the 3rd and 4th day of fertilization the cell division takes off, the embryo begins to migrate towards the uterus, and all this process is carried out perfectly, raising many more literally "existential" questions without the need to think about it or to worry about it; it's beautiful when you think about it. ..
It is the "transcriptional factors" that oversee and decide the "Career" of the cells. These Cellular Generals, present within the stem cells, will promote and encourage their renewal, in short; they will organize the cell to provide it with logistical support (fuel) and close protection. Indeed, external "bodyguard" cells will surround and work to maintain an optimal environment for the development of the "stem cells", a cocoon in short, well named "niche", the whole to refine, encircle with a matrix membrane as a shield (it should be seen as an eggshell), the white being the close guard, the yolk being the most precious... .
At the beginning of the 1980s, we thought that these orientations of cellular career were inscribed in our genetic heritage with, like any baggage, a place in the code line for a random transcription generated by adaptation to one's own environment of evolution in order to correspond to it as well as possible, we know today that it is not so simple, remaining still unable to know how our cells determine themselves by billions of homogeneous, specific and eminently complex ways to constitute us.
We speak here, in science, of "chance" in a field where our Vision, in the broadest sense, still remains blurred, in Medicine, we would have spoken of "anomaly" in Mechanics we would have spoken of "dysfunction" so each profession in the course of its history has developed a lexicon "of specific ignorance" filled with words more amply and learned from each other avoiding us, intelligently, to have this pain inherent in the human species, a tedious task which has become over the course of the MILLENNIUM TRADITION, that of admitting our ignorance. Let's call it "French charm" to stay romantic.
To become pragmatic again we understand here the importance given to research on stem cells and their series of controversies, cloning being one of the most "stormy" examples, and rightly so, these two sectors of research being tacitly linked, deontology and morality are a barrier to abuses, nevertheless like its namesake, the pressure exerted on its structure can cause its rupture, the risk remains, let us learn to swim because one day it may be explained to us that. ... "Hunger justifies the means..." point of surrender.
Let's prefer the voice of hope opened by the concurrent works to understand how and why these "stem cells" are organized, disciplined, hyper-polyvalent, adaptive and self-structured in such an ingenious way on a Macroscopic scale, it's like Magic... This much sought-after universality, the Holy Grail of civilizations, is still buried somewhere.
A.V.P.9
A few words to explain our short term objective:
We know very well that potential Geniuses spend hours every day in the garages of attic cellars, behind future projects contributing to the "best common", scratching plans, screens, tables, equations... etc, of GREAT curious people who scratch their heads on their sides, quite simply, then let us federate, encouraging synergy, the means to free ourselves from the "Master" lecturer and his unquestionable word, academic teaching remains essential as a Base, Once curiosity has become predominant it seems to be decisive to adapt, and on an equal footing, full of humility, throw a problem into the pit of ignorance to discuss it openly, because nature shows us that there are always 2 solutions to 1 problem.
*(Fr) Langue d'origine :
Bienvenue à tous dans ce sixième Opus.
La différentiation cellulaire aurait pu inspirer le célèbre "Choixpeau" et son indiscutable dictat d'orientation impartiale, implacable et invariable, ou presque... .
Quelques jours après la fécondation (l'admission donc) vouée à nous faire devenir des champions du combat à l'artichaut "une fois devenu grand", nos cellules sont similaires, un genre de creuset en pâte à modeler dont chacune après leur spécialisation, va garder une trace, comme un numéro de série fabricant, tout au long des cycles de renouvellement et d'évolutions.
Avant une spécification bien précise, les cellules dites naïves (neutres, matière première A TOUT FAIRE) vont se présenter devant 3 architectes/programmeurs/chefs cuisinier qui sont les trois incubateurs de base de toutes les cellules qui vont nous faire DEVENIR, nous sommes ici chez l'Humain, entre le 3ème et 4ème jour de fécondation la division cellulaire s'envole, l'embryon commence à migrer vers l'utérus, et tout ce processus s'exécute à la perfection, soulevant encore nombre de questionnements littéralement "existentiels" sans que l'on ai besoin d'y penser ni de s'en soucier ; c'est beau quand on y pense...
Ce sont les "facteurs de transcriptions" qui supervisent et décident de la "Carrière" des cellules. Ces Généraux cellulaires, présents au sein des cellules souches vont favoriser et encourager leurs renouvellement, en somme; ils vont organiser la cellule pour lui faire bénéficier d'un soutien logistique (en apport de carburant) et d'une protection rapprochée. En effet, des cellules extérieures "Gardes du corps" vont entourer et travailler au maintien d'un environnement optimal pour le développement des "souches", un cocon en somme, bien nommé "niche", le tout pour fignoler, encercler d'une membrane matricielle en guise de blindage (il faut y voir une coquille d’œuf), le blanc étant la garde rapprochée, le jaune étant le plus précieux... .
Au début des années 1980, nous pensions que ces orientations de carrière cellulaire étaient inscrites dans notre patrimoine génétique avec comme tout bagage une place dans la ligne de code pour une transcription aléatoire générée par l'adaptation à son propre environnement d'évolution afin d'y correspondre au mieux, nous savons aujourd’hui que ce n'est pas aussi simple, demeurant incapables encore de savoir comment nos cellules se déterminent par milliards de façons homogènes, spécifiques et éminemment complexes pour nous constituer.
Nous parlons ici, en science, de "hasard" dans un domaine où notre Vision, au sens large, reste encore floue, en Médecine, nous aurions parlé "anomalie" en Mécanique nous deviserions "dysfonctionnement" ainsi chaque corps de métier au cour de son histoire a élaboré un lexique "de l'ignorance spécifique" garni de mots plus ampoulés et savants les uns des autres nous évitant, intelligemment, d'avoir cette peine inhérente à l’espèce humaine tâche fastidieuse devenue au fil des époques TRADITION MILLÉNAIRE, celle d'admettre nos ignorances..., appelons cela "le charme à la française" pour rester romantique.
Pour redevenir pragmatique nous comprenons ici l’importance accordée à a la recherche sur les cellules souches et leurs cortèges de controverses, le clonage étant l'un des exemples les plus "Houleux" à juste titre, ces deux secteurs de recherche étant tacitement liés, la déontologie et la moralité font barrage aux dérives, néanmoins à l'instar de son homonyme, la pression exercée sur sa structure peut engendrer sa rupture, le risque demeure, apprenons à nager car un jour on risque de nous expliquer que..."La faim justifie les moyens..." point de cession.
Préférons la voix de l’espoir ouverte par les travaux concourants à comprendre comment et pourquoi ces "cellules souches" sont organisées, disciplinées, hyper-polyvalentes, adaptatives et auto-structurées de manière si ingénieuse à une échelle Macroscopique, cela tient de la Magie.. Cette universalité tant recherchée, Saint Graal des civilisations, perdure toujours enfoui quelque part.
A.V.P.9
Quelques mots pour expliquer notre objectif à court terme :
Nous savons pertinemment que des Génies en puissance passent quotidiennement des heures dans des garages des caves des greniers, derrière des projets d'avenir contributifs au "mieux commun" à gratter des plans, des écrans, des tableaux, des équations...etc, de GRANDS curieux qui se grattent la tête de leurs cotés, tout simplement, alors fédérons, encourageant la synergie, les moyens de nous affranchir du "Maître" conférencier et de sa parole indiscutable, l’enseignement académique reste essentiel comme Base, une fois la curiosité devenue prédominante il semble déterminant de nous adapter, et sur un même pied d'égalité, plein d'humilité, jeter une problématique dans la fosse de l'ignorance pour en débattre ouvertement, car la nature nous le démontre perpétuellement, il y a toujours 2 solutions à 1 problème.
*Researchers and environmental analysts, our work focuses mainly on the dynamics of natural fluids and their potential for action as well as the systems of adaptation and evolution of species, the artistic aspect of this project being only a "Bonus".

They say religion and disparity are "coded" in human nature. By that definition, God must be one hell of a programmer. It must take an algorithm infinitesimally complex to make people stand while a prayer is held, side-by-side, shoulder-to-shoulder,in perfect synergy...who are otherwise known to "cheat" and "deceive" each other at every instance possible.
They also say that "Fear is the ultimate motivator"...and fear of the unknown/unseen/untouchable is perhaps the most ulterior of motifs out there.
Who are they? I don't know. You should probably ask google.
Oh, and Happy Programmer's Day !

Fictional character biography
Early life
Some years ago, Aaron Isaacs, a pioneering programmer and engineer in the field of robotics, made a breakthrough in Artificial intelligence making the Autonomously Decisive Automated Mechanism. But when he discovered his employer Holden Radcliffe had destroyed his work, Isaacs went on the run.
He changed his name to Isaac Aaronson and built Adam, a Beta version of his A.I. project. Adam was programmed with false memories of a normal childhood with a dead mother.
Adam has a series of debilitating seizures caused by a logic loop in his program and suffers memory loss, systems overload and, finally, a total shutdown. Adam, having no idea what he is, acts like a normal teenager, and starts dating schoolmate Carly Whitmere. Adam's best friend, J.T. Hunt, knows he is a robot.
History 101001
The story begins with a brief prologue. It shows Dr. Aaron Isaacs running from armed guards. After getting shot in the leg, he quickly jumps on board a train, showing relief and holding a computer core.
Some time later, Dr. Isaacs, having changed his name to Aaronson, is watching a football game his son, Adam, is playing in. Adam wins the game by throwing a touchdown pass to another teammate; however, the football knocks into the player and sends him flying into the goal post to win the game.
Everyone, especially Adam, is very surprised but cheer that they won the game and rush to Adam. Overwhelmed with everyone rushing to him, Adam has a seizure and passes out.
The next day, Adam meets with his best friend J.T., who asks if everything is alright, to which Adam says it is. Adam and J.T. see Adam's girlfriend Carly talking with the school security guard, Officer Michaels.
Carly mentions to Adam that Michaels is interested with and wants to meet Adam. After making plans to meet Carly later, Adam goes to various classes as normal. After one class, Officer Michaels comes and brings Adam to the vice-principal's office.
The vice-principal thinks Adam is taking steroids or illegal drugs, a notion started by Adam's high school rival, Ricky Sims. At football practice Ricky revealed he started the rumor that Adam was taking drugs. They have a brief fight, and Adam has another seizure. Dr. Aaronson is there and helps take the unconscious Adam home. Adam is later shown lying on an operating table, hooked up to various cables.
The next morning, Adam wakes up but does not remember the seizure at all, and seems to have forgotten certain information from the past couple of weeks, such as studying for a test that day.
When Adam mentions he doesn't remember the seizure to his Dad, his Dad shrugs it off and says not to worry. During school he is called to the nurse's office. The nurse takes Adam's temperature and listens for his heartbeat, but is confused when she hears something strange (it is not revealed what she heard).
After school he looks for J.T. and finds Ricky beating him up in an alley behind the school. Adam comes to J.T.'s defense and gets in another fight with Ricky. During the fight, Ricky accidentally shoves a piece of metal through Adam's hand and puts a hole through it. Adam sees the broken wires in his hand and, not sure what he is, has another seizure and passes out.
Ricky goes to Officer Michaels and tells him that Adam is a robot. Ricky runs off and Michaels, in turn, calls Radcliffe about Adam, revealing Michaels works for Aaronson's former employer Holden Radcliffe.
Back at home, Adam wakes up on an operating table in the dark and overhears Isaac Aaronson talking with someone, and deciding not to wipe his memory this time. Adam then wakes up in his bed and thinks it was all a dream.
He goes downstairs where his father was waiting for him and he tells Adam the truth: that he is a robot and that all of his memories have been fake. Adam initially believes his "father" is lying to him and says his memories, specifically about him falling off his bike when he was younger and being with his mom when she died, could not be fake.
Aaronson shows Adam his blueprints, showing Adam that he was not lying. Confronted with this information, Adam becomes enraged and runs away.
Seeing that Aaronson is alone, Michaels captures him and attacks Adam. After being shot but able to escape, Adam then goes to J.T.'s house and collapses. J.T. drags Adam inside and starts to reset Adam to blank his memory, revealing that J.T. knew Adam is a robot. Adam wakes up and quickly stops him, surprised J.T. knew about him.
Adam and J.T. run back to Adam's home, discovering the house trashed and his father missing. Aaronson is shown being interrogated by Michaels.
The Holden Radcliffe Corporation is bent on getting their "stolen property" (Adam) back. J.T. reveals that before Adam was "born", J.T. worked for Aaronson as a lab assistant.
One day he came across Adam's robotic body and since then was forced to keep the truth about Adam a secret. J.T. reveals an external hard drive Aaronson had previously hid, which he thinks might help Adam understand his situation.
Adam plugs into the hard drive, but is then attacked by another of Radcliffe's agents. J.T. shocks the agent with a taser Aaronson had made and they escape. J.T. says he wasn't sure the taser would work on a "real" person, offending Adam accidentally.
He apologized and said that Adam was not programmed to be his friend, which indicated that Adam had some form of self will. Adam calls Carly and has them meet them near the school. Carly unknowingly helps Radcliffe agents capture Adam, leading Office Michaels to Adam and J.T. and they are all captured.
Adam and his friends are brought to a building where Adam's father is. Adam is taken away and strapped to a table, where Radcliffe tries to hack into Adam and take control of him; however, he cannot. Adam manages to escape from Radcliffe, along with his father and friends, by tricking them in to thinking he is under their control.
During the escape, Adam is nearly destroyed, and has to delay Radcliffe to let his father and friends escape. Dr. Aaronson escapes with Adam's computer core, which sets off a self-destruct sequence. Adam explodes, and Radcliffe and Michaels are killed in the explosion. One year later Adam is rebuilt, enters a new high school, Edison High School, and starts a new life.

Adam was considered as a "potential recruit" for the Initiative program, according to Civil War: Battle Damage Report.
Avengers Academy
Machine Teen is part of the new class of students when the Avengers Academy moves to the former headquarters of the West Coast Avengers. Machine Teen later leaves the Avengers Academy, alongside Rocket Racer.
Powers and abilities
As a humanoid robot, Adam has all the basic powers of an android. He has super strength, as seen when he easily rips open a steel door, freeing his friends from their captors.
He also has limited durability, with bullets having little effect on him and being able to shrug off other physical attacks.
Additionally, he has enhanced agility, as seen when he dodges opponents attacks and early on during the football game when he avoids the opponent players.
As a robot, Adam has the ability to remember and easily memorize a lot of information.
In his appearances in Avengers Academy, it is shown that he is now able to telescopically extend his arms and legs.
Despite these strengths, Adam also has several weaknesses. One weakness is any electromagnetic pulse can disable, or possibly kill, him.
This is evidenced when he threatens to kill himself with an electromagnetic device, that his dad had made, in order to stop Radcliffe from hurting his father and friends.
Another weakness is there is the possibility Adam can be hacked and reprogrammed. However, his father stated that he heavily encrypted Adam's files, as even Radcliffe was not able to take control of him.
Before discovering his was a robot, Adam would suffer from seizures, which would cause him to pass out. These seizures were due to his mind not being able to understand why he could perform incredible feats of strength. When his seizures occur, Dr. Aaronson has to reboot him and wipe his memory. Since realizing why he had his abilities, Adam has not had this problem.
While Adam is resistance to physical attacks, he can not resist high-powered attacks. While trying to escape Radcliffe, Adam is shot with a high-powered machine gun, which nearly destroys him. Parts of him are blown away and he's left barely able to move.
Adam's chest cavity houses his central computer core, which stores all his information. If the core is removed, his father installed a fail safe which would cause Adam to self-destruct, in order to prevent anyone from recreating him for other purposes.
Adam is still able to function even without the data core, but it is unknown for how long, and it is unknown how long the self-destruct sequence is. Once the core is removed, the sequence is irreversible. While this destroys Adam's body, it also kills anyone in the vicinity, with the blast having a wide area of effect.
During the House of M event, Adam has several new features. While he is disassembled and experimented on, he is still able to talk and function properly. He is also able to reconnect his body parts with little issue, being able to draw his parts back to him. It is not explained what mechanism allows him to do so. Additionally, Adam can transform his arms into guns.
House of M
