If I were god?

So, here's the meme bit, as if it's not obvious: list at least four things that you'd do if you were God. Assume the same thing I did: you're omnipotent (do the logically impossible!) and whatever you do will work out fine with the laws of physics, such as they are.

I'd be a frigg'n lazy god. :D

But let's see... if I could change things...

1) People would find their significant other, if they wanted one, when they wanted one (well, probably after some nice delay, so it's not completely perfect), and it would work just well enough for things to be decent. Or perfect, if that's what they're actually looking for. In short, dream and you shall receive.

2) Heck, let's make this for most things. Sure, it'll make for a lazy population, but why not? And what if two realties conflict? The universe branches, of course. The conflict resolves, and we generate two different branches of reality, one of each wish. Yeah, that makes for a lot of branches, but meh, I'm sure the universe ain't running out of RAM for a while.

3) Stupid diseases can go away too. Falls under 2, I imagine.

4)1) Magic.

5)2) Figure out where people go after they die. Keep people informed 'bout that, and ideally other upcoming major events. Probably in a yearly newletter or something. Or I'll find a few secretaries to do this for me. Oh, maybe that's how the Bible got started... mmm, that won't do. Might have to write this myself. Buggers.

6)3) Provide knowledge and a better documented toolkit in easily accessible tarballs. Download and compile, change the code yourself. Run UML, if you want. Just don't mess with root - that's my domain and a few intelligent admins that I copy from myself and periodically reload. Provide good documentation, as well as a better, cleaner way to make perfect copies, or run simulations, plus live, hot swappable parts / instant modifications. Documentation is a pain in the ass though... meh, maybe if they can do simulations and make perfect copies and stuff, they can write it themselves...

4) Yearly trips to say hi. So people don't get into stupidass wars about my existence and stuff.

Sunny snowstorm / what to do if a gunman visits your classroom

There's a sunny snowstorm outside. Like, with large visible, flakes, but also with sun.

Kinda pretty. And interesting. Fluffy wet snow, la~

Also, on the note of the recent killings, our MILS202 teacher (army major or something, I don't remember) walked us through what we know of the killer's mindset and offered his suggests in the case that it ever happens here on campus. They sounded decently reasonable, so I'm going to repeat them here:

Assumptions:
-Killer does not plan on living. So he'll try to kill himself in the end. So presume irrational, lethal force. But he is still human, so normal attacks apply.
-Handguns are not accurate. There's 6 inches to sight down, which, from what he said, translates to a lot of inaccuracy, especially if the user isn't skilled. A shot from a handgun is unlikely to kill you immediately, unless it hits you in the head. Handguns will also have a tendency to shoot higher than intended.
-You will be within 30 feet of the killer. This translates to a pretty low chances of living for you.

So what you should do:
1) Duck for cover. Chances are, there's not too much cover, but it is MUCH harder to hit a target already on the ground.
2) Throw shit. Yes, that's what our teacher said: Throw shit. Anything you have, throw at him. Even if it doesn't hit him, it'll distract him.
3) Scream and charge at him with full intent to kill. Ideally, you'll be charging from the side. Your chances of getting killed are pretty high anyways, but with enough momentum, you'll still run him down even if shot, and you may survive and save other lives in the process. If possible, disarm him, but failing that, grab gun hand and knee the groin. Expect significant resistance - he wants to die.

Kudos to Apple.

I'm continuing to discover new things each day.

Nice things I've learned thus far:
-The mic on the earphones that's included doubles as a button:
--One single click, while listening to music will pause
--Double-click will skip to the next song.
(I believe it also lets you answer / hang up incoming calls?)

Also, clicking the home button twice while the iPhone is locked brings up the iPod controller - you can access the prev, pause, next buttons + sliding volume there.
