You are my hero. Teach me how, and I shall worship you forever... I want to speak to them too!!! Heck.. I wanna be UP there.. but.. that.. would.. take.. a...while... ~moo

OH my gosh that would be awsome!!! Let me just explain one thing: I LOVE THOSE THINGS but I'm so lame and have very very little knowledge, which explains my quite noobie questions. I'm in brooklyn (close to coney island). How do I do that, though? What devices do I need? Whee this is so great!!! <jumps around> yes.. I'll go relax, and deny myself further coffee cups Thanks! ~moo

BTW.. It sounds utterly disharmonic and crappy. At least the ones I found (or tried to write.. though got a good grade on my own dodecaphonic composition.. dont ask me how.. i think the teacher just wanted it to end) But.. uhm.. yes. I'll go back to my band camp ~moo

The "Twelve Tone Technique" (Dodecaphony) is a type of music that is actually based almost solely on mathematics. When I was in my theory classes of my music major (yes, I played the trumpet.. so.. this one time.. in band camp...) we had a huge argument whether or not this should actually be concidered music, since it has so many rules it is quite hard to use free talent. This argument lasted for a while, and was unresolved still is quite nice to read about. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve-tone_technique ~moo

Ahh, I tried googling it and failed.. probably didn't search for the right thing. Awwwww.. so no option to listen to actual shuttle comms? I've watched this documentary about Columbia's final mission and at some point they were telling about a specific comment passing through the comm that the person on the ground found to be not really a good place to be talked about (something about personal-life issues) and he said there that it was because 'half the world was listening'.. I was HOPING that this was an approval that if you have the right frequency you actually CAN listen to those commlines.. was I wrong? ~moo

CREATE A NEW EMPTY FILE Name: addsubroutine.php In it, put this: <?php function ExtractNumber($fileName) { //open the file for reading $ReadFile=fopen($fileName,"r") or die("No Such File"); //read the first line (number): $CurrentNumber = fgets($ReadFile,1024); return $CurrentNumber; fclose($fileName); } function AddSubstract($fileName,$FuncToDo) { $CurrentNumber = ExtractNumber($fileName); switch ($FuncToDo) { case "Add": $NewNum = $CurrentNumber + 1; break; case "Substract": $NewNum = $CurrentNumber - 1; break; } $WriteFile= fopen($fileName,"w") or die; fwrite($WriteFile,$NewNum); fclose($fileName); } ?> In your normal HTML code, BEFORE the <html> tag and at the top of the page, add this: <?php include("addsubroutine.php"); if (ExtractNumber("whoever.txt")>0) { //stay on this page, since it's higher than zero //and add to the number: AddSubstract("whoever.txt","Add"); } else { //the counter shows zero, so redirect to a different page: header("Location: otherpage.php"); exit; } ?> That should do it, if I understood what you wanted to do correctly ~moo

I'd just go to the past and see what it was like. Don't know about you, but this would've proven it for me.. ~moo

As a writer myself, I must truely object! Today's science contains so many things you can go and write wonderful science fiction stories about! So many of today's theories are openning into psychological impacts, and mind-boggling implications, if proven true. All you need to do, is invent SOMETHING that proves a theory DEAD-RIGHT (like, say, just an idea I had once about a story - proving that the beginning of life came from an astroid) and you have a great story based on real science. You also need to understand -- and so are your critics and readers -- that science fiction is just that. Science FICTION. It might be BASED on real science, but it will take a spin into the fiction, or it won't be a good story.. Take "The Core" for instance. The science wasn't that good, but the initial IDEA of it was quite interresting and it made for a good movie. Same goes with "Butterfly Effect" which was very good in terms of MOVIE and StoryTelling. The fact that "Butterfly Effect" in science doesn't really mean what the movie made it, is not really important. The point of it was good, and it was BASED (even if a little) on real science. Even "The Day After Tomorrow" was quite good for the same reason. Realism? Not really.. but the main IDEA of the science is true. The writers of the movie just took on themselves to have some creative liscense and speed things up inormously for the sake of the action. ~moo

Take into account there are more available sites and programs and freewares for PC. Plus.. linux, bub.. linux rules... I always found it better to utilize and control, and much better to use in our current internet-freeware-available world, to use a PC. But mac isn't bad. Your choice, really ~moo

Yeah I know how RF works, and I know about encryption. I heard, however, that the communication isn't encrypted, and that NASA Enthusiasts around the world actually do listen to it.. So I was wondering if perhaps I can too ~moo

this is a redirection procedure through PHP: <?php header("Location: whateverpage.php"); exit; ?> OR <?php header("Location: http://www.cnn.com"); exit; ?> You should put it either on an EMPTY page, or above all the HTML code -- it won't redirect if the page already has "outputs" (text on it). ~moo
-
Hi guys I've heard that it's possible to listen to the communication going back and forth from NASA Astronauts in space and to their base on earth. If this is true.. please explain where and how this can be done? It's very intriguing.. ~moo

I wonder.. people that go through lobotomy.. are they not "acting" like zombies? http://www.sntp.net/lobotomy/lobotomy.htm Perhaps this is where it came from? ~moo

Hm. Okay, I'd personally do it through a database, but textfiles work too if you insist So basically, if I understood what you're planning, you need a routine that adds or substracts from a number in a textfile. What you can do, is have an external file with the code I will give you, then, in each page you want this routine to work, you write this: <?php include("addsubroutine.php"); AddSubstract("textfile.txt","Add"); //or replace 'add' with 'substract' ?> The code to be written in the new addsubroutine.php page is this: <?php function AddSubstract($fileName,$FuncToDo) { //open the file for reading $ReadFile=fopen($fileName,"r") or die("No Such File"); //read the first line (number): $CurrentNumber = fgets($ReadFile,1024); fclose($fileName); switch ($FuncToDo) { case "Add": $NewNum = $CurrentNumber + 1; break; case "Substract": $NewNum = $CurrentNumber - 1; break; } $WriteFile= fopen($fileName,"w") or die; fwrite($WriteFile,$NewNum); fclose($fileName); } ?> Now, you have your 'substract' / 'add' credits script. Assuming you have different files for different people, you'll have to go through each file to decide which of them has enough credits to show in the rotator you want to do. Is that correct? Just let me know if I'm in the right track.. ~moo

about your if/else condition. two ways depending what you want to do. First method is to act if the number is zero, or not zero: <?php //open the file for reading $ReadFile=fopen("filename.txt","r") or die; //read the first line (number): $CurrentNumber = fgets($ReadFile,1024); //the condition (FIRST method): if ($CurrentNumber == 0) { print "It's zero!"; } else { print "It's NOT zero!"; } fclose("filename.txt"); ?> the other thing you can do, is act by specific numbers: <?php //open the file for reading $ReadFile=fopen("filename.txt","r") or die; //read the first line (number): $CurrentNumber = fgets($ReadFile,1024); //the condition (SECOND method): switch ($CurrentNumber) { case 1: print "Equals 1!"; break; case 2: print "Equals 2!"; break; default: print "It isnt 1, nor is it 2, but rather, it is ".$CurrentNumber; breaks; } fclose("filename.txt"); ?> Just out the top of my head.. but try explaining what this is for maybe? I might be able to help more effectively. ~moo

I just noticed I didnt increase (or decrease) the numbers.. oops... here's a correction: <?php //open the file for reading $ReadFile=fopen("filename.txt","r") or die; //read the first line (number): $CurrentNumber = fgets($ReadFile,1024); fclose("filename.txt"); //change the number: $IncreasedNumber = $CurrentNumber + 1; $DecreasedNumber = $CurrentNumber - 1; //open the file for writing: $WriteFile= fopen("filename.txt","w") or die; fwrite($WriteFile,$IncreasedNumber); fclose("filename.txt"); ?> I don't really understand what you want done.. this code I gave here takes a number off a textpage, increases (or decreases it) and pastes the NEW number on the same textpage. Maybe explain your purpose of this code? I might be able to find other ways to help out... ~moo

Well, I am a php person, so here's something quick with php. On the page you want to update the text-file count, you put this code (wherever): <?php //open the file for reading $ReadFile=fopen("filename.txt","r") or die; //read the first line (number): $CurrentNumber = fgets($ReadFile,1024); fclose("filename.txt"); //open the file for writing: $WriteFile= fopen("filename.txt","w") or die; fwrite($WriteFile,$CurrentNumber); fclose("filename.txt"); ?> NOW, you can make whatever IF/ELSE condition you wish using this "CurrentNumber" variable... I didnt test it, but it should work fine. also, I wrote this under the assumption that your filename.txt is under the same folder as your code. ~moo

It's quite amusing - a few days ago I stumbled upon an article discussing EXACTLY the matter of skepticism about the big bang. I think it's worth reading, the writer did an extensive attempt to understand if the big bang is a plausible theory, coming from the point of view of a skeptic on the matter. He brings both good scientific results and awsome phylosophical / logical debate that shows why the Big Bang theory is quite a good one. Here's a snippet of it: it really is worth reading. Here's the link: http://www.infidel.org/library/modern/richard_carrier/bigbangredux.html EDIT: Also, appearantly, in the article itself they're linking to another article they say is much more contemporary and full of better scientific proofs about the big bang: "Evidence of the Big Bang" by Björn Feuerbacher and Ryan Scranton http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/astronomy/bigbang.html Notice that according to this article - Interesting, it was quite new to me, and put things into order and gave me a very good view of what it actually is, isn't and why people tend to get the misconseption of it all. ~moo

Somethng like that, yeah hehe The "Astral Plane" is just a name for what you are supposed to reach while getting into high level of meditation. ~moo

What happened to mans penis?
mooeypoo replied to The Peon's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
Good point. But then.. I wonder if that would also drop the attempts and sex-obsessions many of the men get at puberty. Seeing as having a bone there means less effort into bringing it up.. ~moo -

darling, creationists use "evidence" their pastors give them. "You have a nose, that is meant to breath the air around you!!! How can that be created randomly?!?!" Is also something they're "using". May I remind you, also, that those people often say that you should not speak "his" name without fear of devine punishment... those people are just impossible to argue with, since their "logic" is illogical, and quite frustrated to argue with. It kinda leaves you with no words.. amazed at.. the way people just take things for granted. Doesn't mean its not funny... it just makes them sound extremely stupid. ~moo

hehe!!! This is the most hilarious attempt to critisize evolution I have EVER seen!!! I can't stop laughing, geesh. hehe. Well, what they're doing is showing what "random" is.. not what evolution is... they're ignoring every possible rule regarding the theory of evolution, and picking only the "random events" part. Quite amusing, really. hehe. Thanks for the amusement, cambrian_exp. I don't quite know how this is even WORTHY of a reply, let alone a scientific debate though, since it's so.. hilariously... wrong!! ~moo
