Don't forget that you also need to take the expansion of space into account - it's been "stretching" for billions of years. There was a relevant article on the Beeb a few days ago: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3753115.stm Also this is interesting: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3773117.stm

You'd better be face down in your own vomit... because if you aren't /homer

Shall I change it back?

Maybe we just don't see how attempting to trash an established theory group using an argument that has been trounced again and again and again is a part of the process usually associated with devising "new theories". You might see this as a distraction from the topic, but seeing as you didn't propose a new theory - just attacked an existing one - it really isn't.

Cheerfully plagiarised: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22Pyramids+were+meant+to+be+monuments+to+the+pharaoh%27s+greatness%22&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&meta= Don't do that.

The processor on the graphics card - when people talk about the speed of the card, they mean the speed of the processor.

RAM is not an indicator of speed.

The way I understand it is this: the idea of the card is to take processing duties away from the CPU and motherboard RAM, so they are free to get on with running the game without the overhead of the graphical processing. The faster the chip is on the gfx card, and the bigger the gfx memory, the faster overall performance should be. I'm sure it probably affects the possible output of the card (in terms of resolution etc) but I don't know how tbh.

We can do that in theory, but there's not a lot we can do yet that is terribly useful in practical terms for the purposes you are discussing (ignoring medical gene therapies). Plus the whole "laws against that sort of thing" situation gets in the way. We can make flourescent chickens, fruit flys with eyes on their legs etc, so theoretically we can manipulate ourselves as well. However we need to know a lot more about interactions between genes before we go meddling with such a complex system in humans. What kind of changes would you consider to be advantageous? Extra arms, faster oxygen processing, that sort of thing?

64 Mb of onboard random access memory. Generally the better the RAM, the better the performance of the card.

"Mutation" is an example of a word that has been abused by the media and entertainment industries. Cells mutate. Over many generations the cumulated effects of mutations may result in descendants having a selective advantage in their habitat. Making sudden and macroscopic changes to a single grown individual is not likely to end well, because it will create a good deal of systemic stress.

Two years old but probably not changed much since then. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/1977733.stm

Ah. You're doomed. See a doctor about being doomed.

lol

I was j/k

Turns out they were either drunk, or having a private joke: http://www.sayonara.info/blog/archives/000043.php

Shouldn't you make a beeping noise when you back up that fast?

Anyone?

Usually that sort of thing is temporary (well, insofar as you haven't just aged by 40 years or so).

I'm with Rasori. Too few people realise how much they can damage themselves just by sitting at a pc. (Not that that's any excuse for failing to cite a source, Asmaa).

Products that claim to be "not tested on animals" - how are they tested?

I don't think I know anyone who gets weird without their fix of caffiene.
