I'm pretty sure someone did... YT was winning by miles iirc.

Assume he's the expert on what needs to be done, and tell him about any persistent or new symptoms.

Seek medical attention again and tell them about those symptoms. Don't waste your time posting on internet forums.

Maybe that's because you won't commit to justifying a position.

English is 'catching up'? English gairaigo (loanwords) may have come along after Dutch and German ones, but they are the most common in Japanese by a long looooong way (unless of course you count Chinese kanji, haha).

It doesn't matter how technical he gets if the basic building block of his argument is magical.

I stopped reading on the second line of the first paragraph: This is equivalent to stating "magical processes set life up to be described by the rest of my theory". He loses.

This is going to be another one of those threads that goes on and on and on despite the premise being pointed out as a fallacy by everyone replying, isn't it?

Yeah... I wonder if Vbulletin will ever remove that from the default set. Or is it ours? Dunno.

He can't - banned for hate speech.

Just about sums up the factual content of this thread.

FYI, I believe BlackPower is referring to the character of "Wallace" from Tarsem Singh's 2006 movie The Fall. Wallace, a monkey, is Darwin's colleague and helps him to devise some of his theories. Presumably he is named after Alfred Russel Wallace. http://www.imdb.com/video/screenplay/vi2196111641/

We've seen several races with wearable technology that can dial addresses for them. At some point during the height of the Ancients' civilisation there might have been a "published database" of addresses.

They only use one or two props on the show for the gate itself, so the chevron symbols on the rings are going to be the same on every "planet". But you'd imagine that if the system were real, the constellation symbols used to plot destinations from any given planet would be from the point of view of that planet itself. Otherwise the number of combinations needed to address all the gates on the network would rapidly exceed the sensible combinations provided for by the Tau'ri gate. I say "sensible combinations", because although the stargate addresses are 7 symbols long, really there are only three data points which define the destination, as insane_alien already pointed out. In other words, the number of possible addresses is not simply a matter of all the combinations which the symbol ring allows. Also you have the added problem that if you identify all of the in-galaxy intersection points between those constellations depicted on the ring, most of them will point out a patch of empty space, so they are not useful as gate addresses. The seventh symbol, the point of origin, is redundant anyway as gates ought to broadcast this information to the receiving gate as a matter of course (this would also help with verifying where an incoming wormhole is coming from, which you'd imagine the Lanteans would have thought of). Points of origin are a sticky wicket also for the fact that there should be hundreds of thousands of them. Possibly there is a "reserved space" on the dialing ring which is used for the origin symbol specific to any particular system. But if this is so then gates removed from their own systems should not be able to dial out, and they do. So as before, why even bother to dial in the origin symbol? Having said all that, I did enjoy the modest mystery of the symbols in the original film. And of course it allowed Daniel Jackson to keep everyone on Abydos long enough for the plot to unfold while he searched for the seventh symbol (even though he eventually basically made it up).

I know what I was referring to, thank you very much. You can disagree if you wish but you will be wrong. There is an indication lucaspa, it is the context of the posts 5, 6, 10, 11 in this thread as read in the correct order. Stop being deliberately obtuse. An argument for what? I said that [common] design has no evidence, and left it at that. And that statement is entirely true. You are trying to engage me in an argument which I have not in any way intended to broach, and you continue after I have already pointed this out. When did you start replying to random posts out of context, as if they had occurred in isolation as opposed to within threaded discussions? You misunderstand, probably because of my choice of vocabulary. What I intended to communicate was that nipples in males do not require [common] design in order to be explainable. I suggest that if that is YOUR preference, then that is what YOU should write in YOUR post. You know well enough that you do not need to lecture me on natural modes of design or attempt to rewrite my posts for me. To borrow the first line of your objection, "I think you are going too far".

Read about PostScript and PCL. Basically, they are industry standards used by most commercial printers for specifying printed page layouts.

Changed it to ^kt. It might help people to understand the problem if you define the terms in the equation.

I would be much happier about these tips if they each came with some kind of reason why they should be considered useful.

Carbon monoxide and nicotine flushed, lung function decline halts, excess risk of lung cancer halts. Skin improvement during this period, and respiratory problems start to disappear.

I think that in a thread about dispelling misconceptions we should probably try to avoid calling the virus "AIDS", as this is factually incorrect on an epic scale

Think we are done with this.

Hmmm, you're right. When did we change that?

I would say that is completely the wrong way around. The physical withdrawal symptoms for nicotine are pretty puny. The "hard bit" is wanting a cigarette and fighting off the temptation for the rest of your life.
