Anachronox was an example of good writing that didn't take itself to seriously.

Sounds pretty horrible.

Disagree with the claim of this thread. The most powerful image ever made/taken are the images of the Ultra Deep Field taken by the Huble Telescope.

It is not that it is too big a concept for humanity to wrap its head around. Moreso that man has the insatiable need or urge to "know" things. And simply accepting that something has always "just been there" is...well...not acceptable.

Yeah, I'm white. I don't suspect any ex boyfriends, though all we can suspect is that someone where she moved is either racist, or one of her ex inmates (used to work at a prison) saw us getting out of the car.

But they didn't break any windows, steal your hubcaps or slash your tires? You guys really need to learn alot about vandalism... Is this a joke? Not only is it technically vandalism, but it could also be considered a threat of a hate crime.

No, I didn't. In hind sight, I should have (duh). But we were both really late for work and afterward I was more worried about cleaning it off my car. Not too awesome to drive around a city where there are plentiful black folk with nigger written on your door.

Didn't the republicans do the same thing?

Considering my g/f is black, no. Not really.

I've heard that vista machines are different in this respect...not sure how...just what I heard.

That's right. I was staying at my girl's place last night, only to wake up and find "nigger your ass is mine'' written in magic marker on the driver side door. Son of a bitch... I had to get some paint thinner/lighter fluid and wash that crap off, then re-wax it.

Terror is not a spontaneous human action without credence. People just dont hijack planes and commit harakiri (suicide) without any weight of thought to the action. No one here (heck no one in the media) seems to ask WHY DID THESE PEOPLE DO THIS HORRIFIC ACT OF VIOLENCE AND DESTRUCTION? They are brainwashed to believe that sacrificing themselves to kill a few enemy soldiers (and dozens of innocent civilians in the process) will send them to the promise land. That's why.

Thanks, GD. I'm sure this will come in handy.

I guess I could search for specifics on my own. I just want to know in case I hear somone praising Che or wearing a shirt with his face printed on it.

Is a man who commits atrocities in the name of religion really so different from one who does it in the name of political ideology? Jus to satiate my curiosity, what were these atrocities that Guevara committed? Don't really have time to read the whole wiki entry...

Are your sure that you are looking at the right number... Upper left hand corner, just below time, date, cpu, shows a memory of 440.4M. So, thats 4G of RAM. Wait, that would be 44G of RAM, right? I believe tha'ts 440 Megs of ram in use. I wish I had 4 gigs of ram!

I usually run a mile in about 7:30 when I'm on the treadmill. I'm sure I could probably get it to about 7 even without much trouble.

Gotta love DesktopX A fully functional lcars system.

Thanks, guys.

Does anyone have the link to the old BIS forum images? I seem to have lost them again. I won't let it happen again...honest.

http://www.usatoday.com/tech/science/space...ed_N.htm?csp=34 Stars colliding, great. Galaxies colliding, holy geez. But clusters of hundreds of galaxies colliding? It's nigh incomprehensible. Truly awesome.

What if I told you I have read "a lot" of the bible?

no, not at all. go look up the definition of the scientific method and you'll not see the word "proof" anywhere. you will see the word "disproof," however, as it is much easier to disprove than it is to prove just about anything. science is about finding evidence to support hypothesis, at which point, assuming there is enough evidence, hypothesis can be treated as theory. disproof is as simple as finding a counter example most times. taks Gah, I know very well what you're talking about...I was referring to your being pedantic.

Possibly...but we would still be able to survive, and ultimately again thrive even if somethind did happen. Life...will go on...

Now you're just being silly.
