Movies You Have Seen Lately
THe main character an android, or cyborg since she still is partially living, is so complex that she seems to be a human, or something even more. She thinks about her own existance, the world around her and its purpose. It shows that programming can be so complex that it can reproduce what being human is. I hope this helps. Clicky!!!

Movies You Have Seen Lately
Ghost in a Shell 1&2 were excellent. Reccoemmend both of them! Anime movies that take place in the future where there are humanoid robots all over. It goes into the meaning of live, free will, and the they blur the line between robot and human so well that you cannot tell the difference. Reminded me of Blade Runner a bit, but more thoughful i believe.

Primitivity? Are there other beings on earth with a more complex thought process than us? Animals have feelings, emotions, and instincts, but they don't build temples or have elaborate burial ceremonies for their dead. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Meatadigital had an awesome article on this from the new scientists, here it is.

Battle of the New Atheism
You do not have any sensible evidence for backing this up unless your are one of the very few chosen god has chosen to reveal himself to, and even then I'd still question you. I think ill stick to the consistent natural world history then some guy saying he believes in something that just states it without reason why he does so. Belief through faith is jumping into an abyss of unreason. taking this unreason and applying it to the real world is dangerous, it has restricted Gay rights, stem cell research, Abortion, education and its gone all the way to even infect the presidency. There is no proof of a soul, god, devil, angels, heaven, hell, or of the bible being 100% correct. THere is proof of evolution, the physical brain, the here and now, and what the mind wants to believe, it will. especially with a book so incoherent that it can make out whatever it wants. The burden of proof is on the theist, the theist still just says he/she believes because faith. Thats not a good enough excuse to people dying in their hospital beds, teachers and students in Pennsylvania, gay couples, and much of the united states. This country is governed for the people by the people making it a secular nation excluding god aiding it by making it a successful one.

Speaking of odds, the actual odds of the universe just being a random action aren't too great either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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? Random chances find compatibility in the Universe set first by the big bang, or atleast the catalyst. Look around, the universe is full of teetering, why might you ask? because it trying to find compatibility, and what doesn't work is not exist.

Bush changes justification for invasion of Iraq...
I'd be careful saying stuff like this. You might make some scientists angry. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> How so?

Bush changes justification for invasion of Iraq...
It was a US university study by method of random sampling ALL over Iraq, not just Baghdad. I believe this study and method to be quite credible. I know the president said 30K in december. have you guys been looking at the news the past few years at just how many deaths have been going on in just Baghdad alone? That must be 40k alone. They collected data all over iraq (not just baghdad) and gave the results back. Its statistics, its how science works. To knock on every iraqi door would be a better way to get a more exact number but that takes alot of time. This method the university used is also used for science all the time. science is statistics, its getting as much data as possible and coming up with the best conclusion possible with what knowledge we have.

Bush changes justification for invasion of Iraq...
Yea Saddam tortured his own people, but atleast he didn't let a religious war to start and kill 600,000 iraqi's. Is this another "Mission Accomplished" moment for the bush administration or what? -we've helped kill 600,000 iraqi's -we torture whoever we want -we've raped little girls, and shot a family exectution style -bombed entire families because of a sneaking suspicion -Let the ****es and Sunnis start a war within their own country, killing themselves in horrible ways -Iraqi's have had tons of anti war protests against the US - Recent study showed that Iraq is not safer now then when it was with Saddam

Planning A New PC
I'm planning on building a new PC in a few months and I have a few Questions for anyone who might know. I want to buy components that will not bottleneck my PC in the future. I want to get all the new standards. I have built my previous computers and feel comfertable upgrading and even overclocking. First off, what I am thinking about getting is: Core 2 Duo - or quad if their avaliable and functional as a Gaming PC CPU This seems to be a no brainer at the moment. The Motherboard is typically my biggest bottleneck and concern so money is generally not an issue when I but one. I want the best gaming motherboard out there, i tend to like ASUS motherboards the most. The 975X family ASUS offers looks to be a nice buy, but are new motherboards coming out in the next few months? What do you guys think the best gaming motherbaord for the Core 2 Duo is or will be? The only things Ill probably keep from my old PC are my SATA harddrives, DVD drive, PCI Audigy2 ZS soundscard and case.

Clinton pwns Fox News...
Fox is the most biased news station of the major news networks. Tony Snow who worked at Fox News now is the Presidents press secretary. Bill O'Rielly is a joke. I'm glad Wallace got his ass handed to him by Clinton, Wallace asked for it. He was wording his sentences in biased against Clinton, and then he tried not to give Clinton time to asnwer his questions. Wallace should have started with the Global effort Bill requested then gone onto the freetime. Whatever was the cause for Bill Clinton laying the smack down, whether it be him being blamed for 911 because of false pretenses by the right wing, elections or plane anger at Fox news, it woke the democrats up. They might be too late though. Bill Clintons Bipartisan attitude was questionable if you ask me because the republicans are smacking half the country around. Democrats need 6 seats, its looking tough but not impossible.
