Data is raw information we obtain around us. Example, you read on your computer screen 25.

Information is processed data. The 25 read, combined with other data, tells you 25Mb available.

Knowledge what that information means in the grand scheme of things, a metacontext. The 25Mb available means that you have 25Mb of space you can use on the computer.

Wisdom is what you do with that knowledge. You have 25Mb, so it means it's a good idea to install a minimal program, rather than the full.

The amount of data you rescieve is a measure of your oppurtunity.

The percentage of data you convert into information is measure of your experience.

The percentage of knowledge you derive from information is measure of your intelligence.

The percentage of appropriate decisions you make using your knowledge is a measure of your wisdom.


Say in one day you recieve 1000 units of data. That is your oppurtunity.

From that data, you convert 500 units into information. Your experience is then 50%.

From the information you derive 100 units of knowledge. Your intelligence is now read as 20%.

Of those 100 units of knowledge you make 75 good choices. Your wisdom is expressable as 75%.

From 1000 units of data you recieve, only 75 wise decisions are made, yet you are still 75% wise. Think about it.


What do you all think?

Hey, Yahtzee... Here's the day I thought I'd never see...

I slightly disagree with you.

I'll wait for the sounds of shock and disapproval to dissipate.

Several points to make.

Okay now, yes those adds are a great deal ambiguous about the chemicals contained in cigarette smoke, but the way I look at it, if you're stupid enough to be fooled by those adds, you're stupid enough to believe your one and only joy in life is a malevolent, acetone injector.

These adds aren't new. They've tried this before.

AppleSeeds contain trace amounts of cyanide. It is also recommended that you do not eat apple seeds.

Those adds forget to tell you which cyanide is in these ciggarettes. Hydrogen Cyanide. That's right. And it's in vapour form. Now most of the other "harmful chemicals" do bugger all to you. But hydrogen cyanide is very poisonous. Consider you smoke 10 cigarettes a day. Each cigarette contains approxmately 10- 400 micrograms of hydrogen cyanide. Let's use the average, 205 micrograms. That's 2.05 milligrams a day. 39 milligrams is considered a dangerous amount of hydrogen cyanide. 'Nuff said on that topic.

Hydrogen Cyanide is slightly denser than air, and can remain with 10 metres of the source for up to 20 minutes. So the law about smoking near a public building is justified in my opinion.

I do realise your update is about the adds, but I really can't think much to say of them. Except maybe they are necessary. Not to stop smokers from killing themselves. That is their choice. Just to stop them from inflicting death upon other people.

And smoking is ikky...

This really doens't have anything to do with... well... anything but I didn't know where else to say it.

I've noticed modern (term loosley used) christmas songs involve approximately one and a chorus. The songs usually begin with the chorus sung without music or with quiet, percussionless music. Then this chorus is repeated, but with louder, percussion-crammed music. Then a verse which is very similar to the chorus, but is worded differently, then the chorus repeatedly for the next 2 minutes of the song. Anyone else notice this? This came to mind at work where they only play christmas songs over the PA.
