  1. Nothing like that has happened according to the logs.
  2. There's no point speculating about inherently unobservable effects, because if they are unobservable they may as well not exist.
  3. You can pick a default location, or have it ask you every time.
  4. Maybe you should do some research into cloning techniques. This thread is a small monument to the ignorance and prejudice we have already dispelled in other threads on the same topic. I don't see why anyone should have to put up with going through all that again.
  5. I fail to see why you would chose to describe that post as "hateful". Meaningless. How ignorant can one person get? Based on that comment, I don't think you'd know evolutionary fitness if it came and bit out a chunk. Incidentally, the logic "I think this random effect is a biological flaw therefore it is genetic" is complete nonsense.
  6. Microsoft English makes the baby Jesus cry.
  7. Install Firefox, lol. J/k Check out the mozilla support forums.
  8. Tools -> Adblock Right-click -> "Remove this image/div with AdBlock" Also check out the bottom right-hand corner of the window
  9. I haven't noticed anything odd at all.
  10. Browser hijack!!!! For god's sake people, junk IE before it destroys the world: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3840101.stm
  11. It does quite a lot of stuff. It can even automatically collapse the page elements that usually hold a (banned) ad, so you don't have a big empty box in the page.
  12. Don't forget to install the delicious AdBlock extension.
  13. That has to do with the file-sharer demographic rather than the qualities of bit torrent. How did we get on to this?
  14. DC++ for speed, torrents for range. That's the plan, anyway.
  15. I don't know about you but I doubt the legions of gay men and women who have gone through one of the several available routes to conceive children are just "faking it". You're making the assumption that gender-oriented fidelity and (genewise) fecundity are linked, and they just aren't. A gay female couple for instance might both be completely monogamous and utterly devoid of attraction for males, but in order to fulfill our basic drives humans have the option of deciding to make a cost-benefit judgement and act on it: in this case, that might be artifical insemination or agreeing to engage the services of a surrogate father. Humans are weird, both evolutionarily and ecologically. Free will and the general craziness of the id will always ensure that artificial rules such as "if (A like X) { !! A+B; }" do not apply.
  16. Little bits of files, essentially. It started as a low-drain distribution system and now it's virtually synonymous with P2P. http://www.google.co.uk/search?num=100&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=what+is+bit+torrent&meta=
  17. I thought the topic was space tourism, but I see that it has subtley changed to "space planes", which is a different thing. You can tell what my post was about because of the first line, which tells you what it's about
  18. I'd hope 20% of the developed world doesn't go on space holidays, at least not until there is some kind of (actually effective) global initiative to get away from non-renewable energy. Half the world lives in poverty, and the other half is already planning to waste fuel on the most pointless luxury mankind has ever conceived. It's all very well to say "slash fuel costs by 90%", but what that actually means here is "we are doing it 90% less expensively than we otherwise might". It's still a vast amount of energy which is essentially being spent on nothing.
  19. Again, "could not" is not the same as "would not", and "can't" is not the same as "won't". We've done all this before.
  20. "Homosexuals can't reproduce" is not true at all, and any argument based on it is wishful thinking, particularly since reproductive success has not been an individual fitness indicator for humanity for thousands of years.
  21. It's not pointless at all, it's a vital tool for web developers. Try looking at sites that have lots of red and green with the "Protan" filter on, or ones that use colour alone to convey important information, and you will see what I mean.
  22. This handy web site lets you view pages as seen by the sufferers of various forms of colour blindness: http://colorfilter.wickline.org/ SFN Filtered Very handy for checking accessibility!
  23. That's not for me to say, and you know it.
