in a practical sense, I would agree with you.

\o/

you talking about what goes on in westminster? only the electoral system isn't PR, as much as the Liberals like to ask. faf: I never said that we live in a democracy, I said merely that "Democracy is the worst form of government, apart from all the others"

well it charges a battery up......

now that is quotable

am I missing something? Proportional Representation?

at 5 seasons long it was the longest running non-ST Sci Fi series there was. it might still be, I forget.

teach kiddies all about politics and how diseases are the badness.

the PC shouldn't really be a choice, because it isn't a games console. Yes it can do alot more, but then it is designed for alot more. the beauty of a console is its simplicity and size.

he has an underlying wisdom though. favourite animeted series is Cowboy Bebop, but it is a totally different Genre so not really comparable.

in what way?

yeap, it is probably against the laws of physics. chatting about paradoxes is fun, but there will probably be something from stopping them from happening.

the government is.

I am not complaining about democracy, that was Churchill's Quote. pointing out the technical states of the US and UK is also pointless as the monarchy is politically irrelevant.

criticising the system is all well and good, but is there anything better. the same comments have been made about democracy: "It has been said that democracy is the worst form of governement except all the others that have been tried."

I haven't seen any theory suggesting that they do exist. Black holes don't merely "suck" up matter, they get heavier too, and bigger, and "suck" in more. as has been mentioned, they also evaporate, though the exact mechanism for this is as far as I know unknown, though there are various hypotheses, the most prominent being the creation of virtual particles near the event horizon.

the mice or the scientists?

only by accident. the one I am thinking of is the one where they removed the oxygen, and demonstrated how this is bad for mice. It is probably a different experiment.

and several mice. or was this just the boring experiment where they burnt stuff and watched the volume of gas drop?

I think it is the forst "obligatory old comment" I have seen on these forums though

it is quite possible to double and halve light frequencies using nonlinear optics, so if you take something like a red at about 650nm and frequency double it, you get 325nm light, which is down in the violet somewhere, probably UV (I can never remember what colour different wavelengths are. I just do it by a few lasers, so 514.3nm is the basic green for an Argon Ion laser)

the recovery thing varies as to how much hard drive space you allow it to use I think. also as has been mentioned, the GUI is fully customisable. you can easily turn it back to the classic windows look, or do some really really nifty things with it, http://www.tweakxp.com

and hence you wouldn't bother travelling back in time to stop you from breaking your leg in which case you break your leg and travel back in time to stop yourself from breaking your leg..... ........ can you see where this is going?

I use windows XP Pro because a) I don't do anything clever with my PC, and see no need to run something like UNIX b) It runs games c) it is free and comes with a free copy of microsoft office.

I want to hear from him again. I have never seen a genuine doomsday believer after the nonevent
