It's coming for me! It makes landfall over tampa. I'm going to down to the beach to watch it come in in a little while. I'll take some photos and things. As of right now, it's eerily dead calm outside.

holy crap thats hilarious. ferro-frenching roooofl.

I don't think their is anything wrong with nonallopathic healthcare. Both osteopathic physicians and chiropractic doctors realize the value of manual medicine, though the two practice differently. The important thing is that both realize the limits of manual medicine, which vinman clearly does. Comparing chiropracters to voodoo doctors is completely unfair. Good chiropracters realize what they can and can't do, and they stay within those limits. Granted, there are plenty of chiropracters who will claim they can cure many diseases that they clearly cannot. But you can find just as many MDs and DOs who will write books on how to cure cancer by changing your sleep patterns and other nonsense. edit: I've just realized its spelled "chiropractor". Forgive me. I'm too lazy to edit

Phi, those are hilarious.

Just out of curiosity, does health insurance typically cover chiropractic visits?

It's still in "development", and it's not realtime.

It's ok to be scared.

Anyone up for some yahoo chess with me? (must have a yahoo account, free though) PM me or get in the irc chat: irc.blackcobalt.net room #sfn

There's always caveats. That doesn't mean it's not a part of their culture. The US may have had an influence, but I doubt it. Why do we care? Didn't Iraq have the death penalty under Saddam?

Getting ready to test out the new chess system. Anyone want to play me? It's not a realtime system, so the game might take a few days to complete. All you have to do is login and make a move when it's convenient.

I've seen it happen many times. A lot of new players come with that capability though. Maybe it's a CD-RW. Many players only support CD-Rs..

Does quantum mechanics describe reality, or just what we perceive as reality? For example: Does a particle actually have both an absolute position and momentum? Or do these particle properties only solidify when the particle is interacted with. I read that Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen raised an objection to QM stating that particles possessed definite properties, which is why two widely separated particles with a common origin behave the same. Then I read about Bell and Aspect's data that seemed to put EPR's notion to rest. So far I'm really confused and not sure what to make of it all. Is the current view that particles exist in a probability wave when they're not being interacted with (by anything)? Thats the impression I'm getting. But if that's the case, let's say I have an electron detector in my garage. When I measure an electron and collapse the probability wave, how does the probability wave for that electron 300 million light years away also intantly collapse? By what mechanism?

They'll stay limited to GD even if we had scientists. The last thing we need is a bunch of bubble filled threads on serious topics.

Why wouldn't you consider a burner or heater of some sort? It's surely be much less time consuming and you'd get more heat...

Almost every muslim country has the death penalty, it's part of their culture.

Yea, I'm working on killing two birds with one stone. I'm going to replace the thread icon with thread indicators. It's taking me a bit longer to figure it out than I thought it would though. Soon enough.

I'll look into it when I get home. Do you get error messages? What does the website tell you?

Here's a thread for all those little things you wish we'd change or fix. Ever browse around and say to yourself "I wish they'd do this, it'd make it so much easier"? Well here is your thread

Some people are not native english speakers, so be understanding.

' rofl. I guess I set myself up on that one.

I've been wondering the same thing myself. I know it's not bad for the car, because holding down your brakes is the same concept. There's probably some mechanism that allows the pistons to still move without turning the shaft if there is too much resistance. Beats me though, I'd like to know what the mechanism is as well.

But that limitation is easily overcome if we can program something that can learn and apply knowledge like we can.

Will science ever create A.I. more intelligent than ourselves?

Yea, I was noticing that too. I'll fix it when I get home later.
