  1. Most of them were from http://www.stardock.com Have fun
  2. The issue of marriage and gay rights has been discussed exhaustively in a few (very good) threads in the politics forum. Heads up: virtually every argument against gay marriage reduces to special pleading.
  3. XP Pro... and some ooey gooey extra bits of stuff
  4. Linux is an operating system that can be used for anything, whereas Windows is a product that can be marketed to anyone.
  5. I really have no idea, I've never read it. I don't actually recall saying I was an authority on temporal mechanics myself, but I'll certainly make every effort to put what I know together into something that actually makes sense. It will take a while so it will be at the weekend, not midweek when I have x7 things to do [edit] oh crappity. I will need to reinstall some 3D software too.
  6. This is my windows desktop (my Linux desktop is quite boring):
  7. Submit a change request to vbulletin.
  8. Well, not everyone. In London they have the "black box". In (some parts of) Leeds you have a standard wheelie bin collected once a week, and a green recyclables wheelie collected once a month. I think the facilities available probably depend on the local council.
  9. I have been on the Virgin Galactic mailing list for 6 days no and they have sent me nothing.
  10. I would be very cautious about taking Hawking's word as the final say on time travel.
  11. I don't see how me posting in an open thread on a public forum implies that I don't expect a response. Please clarify as best you can. Had you said "more in common genetically", you'd might have had something. Unfortunately you said "more in common biologically", which denotes structural, anatomical, physiological and neurological similarity. Whether this was your intention or not, the fact remains that it is utter crap. If you are going to argue a point in any way that makes sense, you need to be more precise. i) Unless it's "Gary" (or you change your claim to something that you can demonstrate) the worm's name is irrelevant. ii) Your claim said "you have more in common with a worm than a monkey". To me this implies any worm and any monkey. Now we learn it's one worm. Are you comparing this to all monkey species*, all apid species, or just one monkey in particular? Do not mix quantities. Look around. * bearing in mind that sea monkeys don't count, and neither do monkey nuts.
  12. No, old as in "so old there was a thread about Earth's third moon candidate years ago". http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=274 And you're right, flaming and spamming is not allowed. Neither is trolling for responses.
  13. I don't think many creationists are. Utter crap. I assume this is some kind of reference to natural selection. If so, there's a good chance you don't understand how it works (the principle has the advantage of making very good sense, which is handy). Either way I don't think the survival of things called survivors is something we can question if we're going to go around calling them survivors, so I don't think we'd refer to that as a theory. Firstly, while evolution is largely a response to environmental and ecological factors, evolutionary change does not necessarily mean change for the better. Secondly, evolution occurs in species, across generations - not in individuals. So don't expect your knees to suddenly sprout wings or anything. If you have any daughters, teach them to only mate with men who have big willies. And get them to pass that on to their daughters, and so on. Eventually your male descendants ought to have the biggest willies on the block. Won't help you but at least selection will be doing something useful for the family line.
  14. I had guessed it wasn't "Long Play" but I didn't think much of my chances with Google.
  15. That wasn't really the response I was looking for.
  16. No, you're not getting my point. If you're talking about a real-world scenario, then you haven't resolved any paradox there - it's not a paradox at the end of your reasoning because it wasn't one at the start, not because of any processes you carried out. That's fairly useless speculation seeing as we don't even have a mechanism yet.
  17. There is no difference between jpg and jpeg. JPEG is an acronym for Joint-Photographic Experts Group. The 3 character .jpg extension exists due to the 8-3 file naming convention.
  18. Not knowing something yet can hardly be called a "cop out". Whether or not we know of something bears no relation to whether or not it actually exists (although the converse state is obviously another matter).
  19. That's because he was mistakenly answering the question "did Atlantis exist?", because he doesn't read posts in the same way we do. He makes up his own words and swaps them with what's on the screen.
