  1. I say, shut the hell up. To quote bender.
  2. It's not Fermat's Enigma, it's Fermat's Last Theorem, which was solved (proved) a decade ago by Andrew Wiles.
  3. Oh gods, not this again
  4. The question is more why you think they would last forever. Everything fades, its just a matter of time.
  5. 'Word' may have a seperate definition here, and may, in fact, mean 4 bytes.
  6. If it obeys the scientific method, it's a science. If it doesn't, it isn't.
  7. If you've got a dynamic IP, it changes every time you reconnect to the net.
  8. No I'm not. 'Now sillier' would have been right.
  9. It's the 2nd part of the now silly A-level qualification, designed for 16-18 year olds. Our thread starter is likely to be 18, or 17 at a pinch.
  10. Either use latex, or display it using standard characters, like I did.

    Ultrasonic Weapons

    There's been talk about using them to suppress football hooligans.
  12. There is insufficient evidence to say that god exists, therefore by Occam's Razor 'Atheism' is the stance to take. The fact that it's from a base of agnosticism is irrelevent, as that doesn't tell us anything about god, or science.
  13. It's 'rather hard'.
  14. Windows XP is rather good, I'll have you know.
  15. He could always have meant megaamps, which would be really quite dangerous.
  16. I'm still confused how 'evolution' requires 'superpowers', given that near anything, from ameobae to some types of electronic circuit, can evolve over time.
  17. That's the worst name ever.
  18. To an extent, it's a chicken/egg problem, although most people who are actively involved in science will be picking up other languages here and there.
  19. Boundry. Where is the edge of the earth, in 2 dimensional space?
  20. Or 'the egyptian gods'. They didn't really have any relation. Roman and greek gods, on the other hand...
  21. Dark matter is theorised to be a lot of things, mostly of the order of neutrinos and black bodies. The argument goes that, if it wasn't a black body, or an undetectable particle, then we could detect it and so the mass wouldn't be 'missing'. Black holes may well fit into this as well, depending.
  22. There's 2 basic interpretations. The weak anthropic principle: 'We find information (the balance of charges, the four forces) because if these were not so, there would not be any life to measure them' The strong anthropic principle: 'We find information because they were designed for us to measure them' Noone much cares for the latter.
