    Has anybody here had any success making money online? You need to be careful because many online programs are scams. I'm actually making a lot of money from http://www.12dailypro.com and they have over 200,000 members. Is anybody else a member of an online program where you can make money?

    I've been looking for guarana in its natural plant form forever! Nobody online sells it, and I don't have any magazines that sell it. I am a bit of a plant fan, I have a few already, but I want to add guarana to it because I'm a big fan of the energy drinks (particularly Monster) and they all have the plants' berry juices in them, and, from what I've read, its more powerful than caffeine and actually better for you because it isn't artificial. So, if any of you guys could help me out with this one, I would be most greatful. Being that some of you are going to, or associated with, a college or university where they can get hard to find items. Any help would be gre…

    Hi Everybody, I've been lurking for weeks just to get a feel for things. I was planning on lurking for a little while longer (actually until complete a paper) but stereo problems have forced me out of seclusion to consult this collective for information. I just spent half the day setting up and reading the user's manual for my new (used) stereo and everything seemed to be okay until I tried to listen to news broadcasts. Everybody sounds like a chipmunk! Is there some sort of high frequency switch? If anybody has a good link to home audio FAQ/problem solving stuff I would appreciate that as well. Thanks for your time and any help.

    Got my sixth knockout today with a left round kick to the head. I set it up with my Right Jab right hook while fading right combo. I usually set up the kick by alternating a rising jab with a jab feint right hook (a technique I learned by watching James Tony). When I see them thinking about the overhand I fad out with the jab then same side hook (Costa Tzue) that knocks them right into the left round kick. I can double or triple the round kick if they are in trouble but not out, but this guy droped like a bunch of broccoli. It was a sweet ending.

  7. I'm thinking of making a website (best case scenario) or wikipedia article on the changing biodiversity since the ice age, due to intervention of humans. Obviously it is quite difficult to speculate why some of the earlier species dissapeared, for example the megafauna in North America and Australia. However the most common theories directly or indirectly point to the arrival of man. I'm sure articles could be found contradicting this, then more articles countering those.. but that's natural history for you. What can be certain is in the last 2,000 or 3,000 years, many hundreds of thousands of species have become extinct or had their range greatly reduced due to hunting/p…

    2005 was probably one of the biggest years in science and debate. Natural Selection vs. Intelligent Design, what to do with global warming, and many others. So what do you think will happen in 2006? What major debates will be held? What discoveries will be made? What will be the most popular electronic? etc. Please reply, it might be interesting to see what people think.

  10. Kind of a cool add-on for firefox. http://www.yakalike.com/ It allows you to chat with other people visiting the same website as you, as long as the other person has the same software. Unfortunately, registration is closed, but you can still use a temporary name through the download, and you don't have to be registered to download it.

  11. I'm in the process of assembling and getting ready WiSci, a science wiki (sponsored by SFN) for SFN users to participate in. I'm looking for volunteers to help get the policy and a few articles together. PM me or post here if you'd like to help. Also, I'm looking for a logo for WiSci. It should be something fitting the MediaWiki default theme (the theme you see on Wikipedia) and be around 135 by 155 pixels. Preferably something sciency like the SFN logo.

    Hello All, I am glad that I passed by this forums as from what I can see its such a great resource to gaining knowledge from other experienced members. Hence, I am hereby to tell you the following: 1 - I made a medical test called "Cervical polyp" and The Microscpoic Description was: "Shows endometrial tissue with severe ongoing cervicitis. There are strips of epithelium with severe hyperplastic and moderately atypical cells. There is no invading tumor". ------- The Final Diagnosis Based on Gross and Microscopic Examination: Cervical biospy: Severe chronic cervicitis with focal moderate atypia. 2 - The other medical test I did was "Cervical …

  16. Can't decided really which to major in. I have a strong background in computers and computer programming...but want to learn more about developing hardware/microcontrollers/new technlogies. Im going to the University of Houston and they both require the same classes for the first two years, after that it branches off. Im thinking of Computer Engineer, but it isnt accreddited with ABET...only EE...should that really matter? There is also a Tech program, but im gonna stay away from that. Im doing to minor in Comp Si in either field. What do you guys suggest?

  17. I think it would be worthwile if we try to predict the next step in the creationist movement, so we can brace ourselves and protect America's children from growing up to be ignorant. Where do they go from here? It started out as the Bible and God made the world in 6 days to some unknown intelligent creature designing things because everything is too complicated to have happened by accident, which seems to me like their best shot at weaseling their way into science classrooms. But I'm worried I'm missing something. And ideas? The only thing they can do to make it a sure evolution is really challenged is if they all become biologists and really do find a bett…

    I have to say that lately on reflection I've really enjoyed some of RyanJ's creative thread ideas. A what if thread, a best quotes thread, a four 4's ongoing challenge, check it out http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/search.php?searchid=108945 Its nice to see amazingly long threads that are actually enjoyable to read though, and aren't just long arguements. So this is the RyanJ tribute thread. So this thread has a point, what are the common characteristics of interesting threads, and how can we abtract those concepts and apply them to create new interesting threads? (Or just pitch some interesting thread ideas you've been aching to throw.)
