Sometimes I love my government

People need to stop asking "what happened to bin laden". YES we would have liked to have him, NO this war wasn't against him. How many times did the US government have to say "This is not a war on one man" for it to get through? I swear that was beaten into our heads for at least a month straight. The American Media were the only ones puporting that this war would be a "walk in the park'. For the most part, it was. The Iraqi army was utterly obliterated. Sure, we lost some good men and it took a few weeks. It's Still a walk in the park commpared to every other war in modern history.

Hehe, a good way to get people riled up is to say einstein is wrong But yea, the subtitle of the book does include speculation. I doubt he says that he has proved einstein wrong without a doubt (maybe though). He's probably just speculating, which is where all ideas must begin.

the summary says, "...idea that contradicts Albert Einstein? As Magueijo shows in this masterful book, his theory of the varying speed of light (VSL)... " I'm a bit confused on this issue. I was under the assumption that einstein was saying the speed of light is constant for all observers in a vacuum. I didn't think he was talking about its absolute measurable speed; he was merely saying that all observers must measure light at the same speed in a vaccum, regardless of relative motion or graviational pull. Is he saying that speed of light is always (temporally speaking) the constant C in a vaccum?

! I almost picked up this book about 5 weeks ago. Its on my "to get" list, I'll let you know how it turns out.

For the most part, true. I used it mostly to check answers, but I'll admit I use it to do fractions quickly too = sux at those

It's sayonara!

From NewScientist.com: "The phenomenon that leads to "virgin births" in some species looks like a promising source of embryonic stem cells. Researchers are on the brink of obtaining human stem cells this way for the first time, and animal experiments suggest such cells are indistinguishable from normal stem cells. In parthenogenesis, an unfertilised egg keeps two sets of chromosomes and begins developing as if it had been fertilised. Some insects and reptiles can reproduce this way but even though an electric or chemical stimulus can induce parthenogenesis in mammals, the resulting embryos die after a few days. And that, according to its proponents, is the beauty of the technique as far as stem cells are concerned: it produces embryos that could never become human beings. So destroying these embryos to obtain stem cells would avoid the ethical concerns that have led to restrictions or bans on embryonic stem cell research in many countries."

You probably didn't listen the first time, or second, or third, which is why you're hearing it again

Its a great feeling! But my summer classes start in two weeks

I did a little editing work to make faf look bad :D

Snopes has the real story as... "The bear pictured above was killed in November 2001 by a hunter (not a Forest Service employee) who came across it while he was deer-hunting in Alaska. As he described the event on the message board at HuntingNet.com: My partner and I ran into the unexpected . . . "BIG ARSE URSUS"! The bear was shot 10 yards away (no zeros missing in that figure my friends) in the head with a .338 Remington Winnie, using 250 grain Nosler handloads, followed up with two shots to the vitals. A very quick clean death. We were working up a creek, headed for the mountains to hunt blacktail. He was coming down the creek, hunting for the last of the spawning Coho in the creek. We initially spotted him from 40 yds off. As a matter of fact we were glassing the bear over the high brush just behind the bear when we spotted him. "

A University of Miami icon does? Thats about as far from science as you can get, except maybe Zarkov's "research papers".

LOL, had to host it yourself. You should convert to jpg, thats like 120k bmp

Poena, could you post the other pictures of it??

no, you lost :\ clear your cache.

Ah! Its just a picture of the same bear, except with the guy hodling up the bear's paw, about twice the size of his head.

woo! I was sure that it couldn't have come out to 0. I plugged it into my ti83 and it gave a nonzero answer. I left my answer as zero on the exam though, so I got it right

The article states "She admits some smart-ass kids may try to get into trouble specifically on SpankOut Day but suggests those kids be given at-home writing assignments such as "why can adults hit kids when they can't hit each other?". Adults do hit each other. Disobey and struggle against police officer and his nightstick or tazer will come out faster than you can say "uhoh". -- Anyhow, Many of you never got to experience the disciplinary hell that was my younger brother about 12 years ago. That kid got so many spankings it wasn't funny. My parents never raised their voice. I remember my mom yelling at me when I was like 6 and I cried because I was in shock. However, yelling at my younger brother did NOTHING. He was a little tyrant, defying everybody. They tried timeout, they tried explanation, they tried sending him to his room, everything. Nothing seemed to phase him. When my mom would raise her voice and say "You want to go to timeout?" He would say YES. My mom hardly ever raised her voice unless it was something serious. It just didn't phase him. (meanwhile it shocked my poor innocent self to tears) Many wooden spoons and belts later, he's turned out fine. He has hardly any disciplinary problems now (except those of a typical 15 year old). I find it hard to believe that spanking promotes violence. 100 years ago they spanked children publically in classrooms with spanking rods. They also hit them over the knuckles. This wasn't just during early childhood, it carried on through grade school. But there wasn't the violence among children at school that we do now. Even 45 years ago spankings were a lot more frequent and common. I wonder how many kids going to highschool worried that a gunmen would open fire on a crowd of people and then kill themselves. How many principals worried that a student would march into the office and blow his head off. The worst you had to worry about was the scheduled fight with tommy-joe after class. Now we have metal detectors at elementary schools. What a pathetic society we've become. I'm not trying to show a correlation between increase in violence and decrease in spankings. I'm just pointing out that violence among kids is at an all time high, but spankings are probably at an all time low. I also disagree with giving (most) unruly children medicine. Its just a bandaid. My brother would probably still be dumping chemicals into his brain to control his anger if he had been put on medicine. Spankings in my household were more than just a physical pain, it was an emotional pain as well. It was a big deal, they weren't spur of the moment beatings. They would send me (or my brother) to my room to wait. Then they'd come in and have a talk about why a spanking was about to go down. Then they'd have us fetch the spoon (ahhhh). My mom would spank and then bust out in tears. This hurt me emotionally more than physically. I remember my last spanking didn't even hurt physically, but i cried because I had hurt my mom. I'd say this was a bigger deterrence than physical pain, I hated to see my mom in such grief.

:pi:/2 :int: sin(4x)dx 0 :int: sin(ax)dx = -1/a cos(ax) right? so . . . . . . . . . :pi:/2 -1/4 cos(4x) | . . . . . . . . . 0 [(-1/4) cos 4:pi:/2] - [-1/4(cos 4(0))] (-1/4) - (-1/4) 0 ?? where did I go wrong

I have conquered the subject from hell, the very Minion himself in book form... I have finished GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1 & 2 :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: PARTY LIKE THERES NO TOMORROW

wow! your artwork is great

That thing is gargantuan.
