  2. Should the government impose mandatory limits on greenhouse gases?
  3. Stumbled across this today, seems up your alley zarkov Ancient Egyptions Had Flight
  4. :bs:
  5. This thread is way too funny.
  6. :stupid:
  7. Faf and I had this discussion quite some time ago, just want you guys input. e=mc^2 photons have energy, and energy = mc^2. So if the mass is 0, wouldn't the energy be 0?
  8. You can check "Email notification" that will email you when someone replies. Very annoying though.
  9. I didn't know anyone still had "bandwidth allotments" with their ISP service!
  10. Alright, I can't remember where I read this, but it posed an interesting question. Assume we are communicating with another "earth" that is a light year away. Using communication with light, it would take a year for information to arrive to our planet from theirs. Now, say I have a keyboard attached to a metal pole that stretches from our planet to theirs. Now, when I make a keystroke, the poll is pushed outwards. Would they, on the receiving end, 1 light year away, instantly see the poll being pushed and pulled?
  11. I'm thinking about combining some catagories. I don't think there is a need to have everything so specific. Also, thinking about allowing images in posts.. What do you guys think about this? Also, any suggestions for added forums are welcomed.
  12. Try another upload script. I don't think the server should reject it for any reasons, as long as the permissions are 777.. wierd.
  13. 777. try changing them all to that (just to see).
  14. You're right, most do. Not me!
  15. I know you said you checked this, but it sure sounds like a CHMOD problem to me. What do you have the directory chmod to?
  16. BTW the poll should NOT be on the main page, since faf rigged the vote and bribed people into voting
  17. Like faf said, a DO stands for Doctor of Osteopathy. Bottom line where Osteopathy differs from allopathy is the coursework in OMT. Over 200 hours are spent in osteopathic schools teaching Osteopathic Manipulative Therapy. This therapy is not to be confused with chiropractics. All other aspects of training are the same. The same books are used, the same classes are taken. Osteopaths have residencies in ANY specialty(don't listen to this rural family hogwash). At the end of the day, I want to be the kind of doctor who gives my patients the best care possible. If they have a problem I will use the most effective, least invasive means to help them. The New England Journal of Medicine has published papers about the efficacy of osteopathic techniques for things like low back pain. It works. Doing anything less would not be serving my patients to the best of my ability. Harvard and other medical schools are starting to add courses that include these techniques. As a DO I will hopefully have the ability to treat a patient using more than my scalpel and prescription pad. Will this help every patient? No. Will I use this with every patient? No. Will I deny a patient surgery if they need it? No. Will I hesitate to give an antibiotic or pain medication if it is needed? No. You have an infection, you take an antibiotic. You have an inflamed appendix, you get it surgically removed. You have a migraine...ahh...here is where I can maybe try something else along with or even before I reach for the medication. Again, will it work for everyone? Of course not. Medicine is a very personal thing. Each patient respond differently to medicine, surgery, other treatments, and to the attitude of the physician. I, as a physician, will need to find the best way to take care of my patients. This can include different treatments or even referring them to a more qualified person. But I feel that as DO I may have more options.
  18. Does anyone actually know what a DO is, and how they differ from MDs? If not, you're about to get a nice essay, courtesy of blike
  19. I LOVE MDs!

    Ghosts?

    aman, those are called EVP or electronic voice phenomena. A quick search on google will give you tons of good resources for listening. Sorta like the principle in the sixth sense, when you slow the tape down, supposedly sometimes spirits can be heard. Some recordings are iffy, others are pretty clear. A good idea when listening to some of these is NOT to read what the website says the voice is saying. Discern for yourself, then see what the website says. Sometimes you "hear" things because you're listening for them.
  25. Perhaps tomorrow I'll post seriously on this thread. Tonight, I'm bouncing off the walls
