WITHTEETH

I've got to admit, there are WAY to many + sizes running around here. What can you expect from the country that invented the Big Mac. Salad dressing AND mayo on a burger? Jeez, no wonder the leading cause of death among males here is heart disease. Or the inventor of the 12 thousand calorie SALAD!!! (taco salad with the works)

I am 5''11 with an athletic build i weight 182lbs. My upper body makes it diffucult to buy a shirt that really fits. Since i need a shirt that fits a large upper body it means i need a larger size, but since my height is rather average the larger size shirt hangs 4 inches too low all the time. But if i get a shirt that fits my height and not my upper body then it fits all tight making me look like a beef cake and the sleeves are extra high like Im showing my guns at a show. Meh! Sizes that fit me vary from small to Xlarge, but most brands don't fit at all.

No Penryn is the blanket term for the Wolfsdale/Yorkfield series of processors. Intel has a new method to kill AMD. Tick-Tock method. They create a new type of processor, then later on they optimize it, then they create another new type of processor, the later on optimize it etc, etc.... Penryn is the name of the this processor that is being optimized, which are both the wolfdale and yorkfield i believe. Both will be in PC's I believe.

I am. Do you need a hug? you seem awfully negative. Send me a supermodel If your still thinking about this game at the end of 5 years, who is it that needs the hug? I'm going to finish it in a day or so, take it off my computer and promptly forget about it. As it should be. It is a great game, I really like the combat system and the characters and the story are pretty interesting but come on, 5 years? I find some games to be more than just a game. Games can also be a form of art, when this happens i like to experience it over and over again. Going over the game with a fine comb to savor it. Do you buy a CD to listen to it once then put it back on the shelf? Our opinions are just that, opinions. I personally wouldn't discourage someone from their artwork, art can create meaning for people, and that can bring happiness and tranquility to their lives, while creating the same for those who are playing their products. I don't care how many times i look at Mount Rushmore, its still great. A toast for the modders and game developers for making this world a funner place!

Click Me!!! What a pretty case!!! Hey Bok my bday is coming up can you buy me one!!!

I am. Do you need a hug? you seem awfully negative.

Firstly, the universe wasn't made of nothing it was made of matter/energy that always existed crashing and colliding finding compatibility. This clump of energy/matter formed a Super Cooled Higgs Field and triggered the big bang. Or so the hypothesis goes. Our observations are limited of course. Yet it doesn't try to make absolute knowledge from a book that contradicts itself with 2 different Genesis versions like the bible does inartfully. 1 art is subjective, if you want to call a tree or painting beautiful thats great. Evolution doesn't care of such things, evolution is a mechanism to create, just like your specific version of a god that co authors books and acts as a omniscient real estate agent to people of Judaism. 2 Given that time is infinite, a random event occurring, even with odds of 10 to the power of 119,000, is not astonishing. By the way, how do you formulate an equation without knowing all of the variables in the equation? This must be Christian math

Yep. You certainly don

Started reading The Philosophy of Existentialism by Marcel Gabriel. I like existentialism but I do not like this guys writing style or reasons. I dumped it after skimming through the begging of the chapters and the end of the chapters to get the jist.

I believe the major difference between religion and belief, is that religion has an absolute doctrine that is unchanging and cannot be proved upon... unlike science where its beliefs are self correcting, peer reviewed etc... Where as the bible cannot be, but i think the bible could be personally improved by sayings from basic philosophy, even saying something like though should not harm your children.

I like Daniel Dennets explaination, that ideas fight eachother for control of the mind, not parasites like in other animals like mice, fish, grasshoppers etc... These ideas then reproduce from host to host by churches and children etc... Its very resilient, and many of these ideas are not even self interested, these ideas are the ones we have to watch out for. Religion can be a meaning for the masses who cannot, or don't want another meaning to live also. It will help them survive. I believe religion is one way of helping easing of pain and suffering of a loved one. How a child can be relieved by a mentor by saying that her father is alive in the sky still watching over her, and still loves her. But theres a point to which artificial reasoning can be detrimental to society when it comes to stem cell research, abortion and contraceptive issues, global warming, gay rights, and even sometimes the disrespect of science.

what i am trying to say is that if you have faith in God its obviously proof enough for you. im talking more about beliefs which we dont need to go into Faith is not proof. wow i've said like 40 times that this is basically a proofless subject. no ones gonna find proof that will prove anything to the other person. i said that for me, personally, faith is proof I have faith theres a diamond in my back yard... I sure hope my faith is correct too!

I agree. I am becoming increasaingly irate with the boot time of my laptop with XP. have you looked at the MSCONFIG.EXE startup subcategory to see what programs run on startup? Note: For those interested you can check MSCONFIG.EXE by clicking START >RUN > type MSCONFIG.EXE and click OK.

That will come in handy. I thought that was only for water cooling actually, does it help in a air cooled enviroment with the other fans? I'm about to flash my BIOS and i found something new out about my MOBO. Yay it now supports FSB1333!!!! It will support future CPUs now!!! :sorcerer:

Yeah, Velosa raptors were vegetarians until Adam took a bite of the fruit! Boy did he screw up!

The boards north bridge run extrmely hot. The issues now must be smoother out though. I hear rumors intels new X chipset will come out later this year will support SLI.

OK back to impeachment. Hypothetically: Whether we can or not. If there is or was good conclusive evidence that gives us reason to impeach, should we? Would impeaching GWB make things worse in the long run? I've heard many people say it is a bad idea, we should not because the democrats love GWB due to his negative image it brings to the Republican party, thus giving the democrats a leg up. I can see this being a moral dilemma. Setting justice aside for one person for anothers' political advantage. I am iffy about this, it sends an image that the higher you on the ladder the more you can get away with crime. Which is a sad reality. If Bush or any president does something completely illegal, and causes pain and suffering they should be brought to justice and made an example. I know Bush hasn't been caught, I'm just stating this in general. Not prosecuting somebody who broke the law for your own benefit is wrong i believe. What do you guys think?

I haven't gotten through SS2 yet, i should pick this up again. I have the game. I really need to beat all the games i own! I have Civ4 collecting dust, NWN2, SS2. I will end up beating them though! I'm very persistent! Ask my boss, i take Wednesday off making my work week only 4 days long hahahaha. Everyone is so envious because they don't have the balls to do the same.

KoTOR1! I play this game every 2 years about. This is my 3es time through it. Fun fun, i like to see how much differently it runs on my new system too. Not a stutter at high res. Playing a male scout, just landed on Dantooine. Bastila Can't get enough, shes all over me. I'm playing with the Revan Mask+ 2.0 mod that adds a few extras here and there. Solid game, I love how the dialog is so important, and the choices make a difference. Zaalbar seems practically useless, do you people give that brute a gun or sword? He deserves a a giant sledge hammer really. I want to see skin particles fly when he hits those foos!

Natural selection means that things evolve through traits that helped survival and reproduction, this gets done by gene sifting. Through this process micro and macro evolution occurs through time driven by the species, not some type of God. This means no Intelligent designer is needed to create a nylon bug, or liger. Is it saying there is no god? No thats impossible to say, thats like saying there are no Pink unicorns, Its impossible to disprove a negative. Science can only show reality, not another realm like The Forms. edit: A God might possibly exist, there just has to be some kind of positive empirical evidence for a skeptic to see it. Its an extraordinary claim to say there is a god. All I ask for is to see some evidence. Meta made me think when he mentioned emotions. This idea of God/Jesus and the right way to be one is to be saved. To have a personal relationship to God/Jesus means you are emotionally attached. Losing a friend hurts, even if its not based in reality, i can understand. Daniel Dennet Just wrote a book named Religion: As a natural Phenomenon. It dives into memes and gives another look at them. He puts forth that its not reproduction that humans do like any other animal. And its not parasites that inter our brains and control us. Its Ideas. Ideas like religion, freedom, Democracy, communism. These ideas attach itself to parts of our brain and competes with other ideas. But are some of these ideas that people die for beneficial? Would we really let an idea dictate our brain? Islam does mean- To Submit. I think we should teach Critical Thinking at a younger age. I wish i had it, instead I had bible classes twice a week, they indoctrinated me as a child. I was told I was a Christian, i was baptized before i ever had a chance to excersice freewill. They implanted an idea deep inside my head that painstakingly didn't want be over ruled.

Truth and beauty can be very different. Which is more important, who knows!

Or we could just as easily say the the invisibly pink unicorn created the universe prior to its existence.

yeah, perhaps. that'll change again i'm sure. taks Perhaps, and in ten more years they'll find even smaller particles, and smaller. Its fascinating what they find when they look at the particles up close.... space.

This is more psychology and psychology is tough for me to get into. There is a new form of psychology called evolutionary psychology though that has been around for a very short time. It doesn't say we are absolutely selfish or altruistic but somewhere in between. I would call these virtues a few are very stoic. How to explain them would be how they each separately effect the individual. Individuals complexities differ from person to person, each complexity still vastly different from the next. But take love for instance... Why does it exist? Chemically its generally just a chemical rushing to your brain called serotonin, and that chemical will give you a certain feeling. Why have this chemical rush to the brain? Could it help the human survive? Does it help the whole tribe as a community survive and co exist? I think it is beneficial to the survival,which leads to natural selection. Thats could be one answer out of many answers for love.

Have you read Ismael by Danielle Quinn? It goes into how we ruined the earths equilibrium (if there is such a thing) by starting the agriculture revolution and it ties the whole adam and eve story to it making the first sin agriculture. How we can't go back, so we have to make room, we have to limit our population, and let biodiversity grow... all of this from a talking gorilla. hmmm come to think of it pretty weird, but the adam and eve twist was entertaining to me as I was first diving into philosophy.
