The FedEx ad with the caveman shipping his item via pterodactyl, and getting promptly squished by another dinosaur after being reprimanded for not using FedEx.

We've actually had a few people go back and edit all of their posts to be blank (save for a message saying "blanked"), which completely destroys thread continuity.

A new silicon-germanium semiconductor chip produced by IBM reached 500 GHz in tests recently, setting a new speed record for a computer chip. The test was conducted at 4.5 Kelvin (-451 degrees Fahrenheit), but the chip still reached 350 GHz at room temperature. It promises to start the next generation of powerful computing chips before quantum computing becomes feasible. http://www.eetimes.com/news/semi/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=189500692

Seeing as this is no longer "evidence-based," I think it ought to be closed.

This thread is getting repetitive and is going nowhere.

Perhaps the noise loses effectiveness when the frequency is lowered.

The very first clinical trials for a stem-cell based product are just around the corner, for a treatment for damaged spinal tissue. The treatment can quite possibly help patients with damaged spinal cords regain movement in their body, and scientists say the risks are minimal. This represents a major step forward in medical science, being the first clinical use for embryonic stem cells since their culturing in 1998. There may be opposition from ethics groups, but researchers say the treatment itself should be safe, and it could be the first of many revolutionary new treatments. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn9349

A new study on rodents suggests that our own good hygiene may be at fault for the broad range of allergies we suffer from, saying that early exposure to potential allergens can allow our body to easily adapt to them. The study collected rats from the wild and from a laboratory and compared levels of an antibody in their bloodstream. The wild rodents had much higher levels of a particular antibody that is produced in response to foreign particles, and the researchers believe high levels of this antibody may prevent chronic overreaction when exposed to the particles (allergies). http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn9357

I personally like Avast. It has a better automatic update system and seems to catch more viruses in some comparisons.

There are certainly people on both sides who are contributing to the problem - some with violent anti-evolution standpoints (and fallacies to back them up) and some with anti-religion standpoints (and more fallacies to back them up). We have to treat both sides of the problem for anything to work.

Indymedia is hardly an objective news source.

Messages are not "deleted" without some trace of them coming back. Mailer daemons typically (if they reject an email) send a response back, or physically reject it before it is sent, resulting in an error message to the person trying to send the email (they will not think the mail was sent successfully). I'd say to check your form submission program to add an error reporting system if the mail sending fails, and be careful about checking the junk folder for legitimate email.

http://www.ntfs.com/ntfs-mft.htm It is not a file in the traditional sense, and you probably cannot open it.

I personally would like them to stay in the Religion forum. Religion stays in the religion forum, and we discuss evolution and science where they belong.

Radio Shack would be a place to start to get a scanner. There are probably scanner clubs in your area as well, so you could look around to find one to get real help. Also: http://radioreference.com/forums/

You can't. Windows shows you that data in the Properties window, but that's the best you can get.

It's possible (but complicated). The easiest way would be to skip Word entirely and write your documents with LaTeX (as it is a typesetting system). There's also a Microsoft Equation Editor that works natively with Word: http://www.microsoft.com/education/insertequation.mspx

File properties are stored in the file system itself.

Yes, I have a small portable shortwave radio with a 15-foot external antenna (not outdoors, but running along the wall). I've previously picked up Vietnamese and Belgian stations, as well as the Thai traffic report.

Would those be standard shortwave frequencies or would I have to get a scanner? (I'm interested too)

What sort of language can you use for it? PHP? ASP?

Probably. Perhaps there's a bot going around trying to get usernames/passwords of Wikipedia accounts. Try asking a Wikipedia administrator in the Community Portal to see what they can do. They may be able to block whoever's doing it.
