I'm saying perhaps they found a prince that ended up being someone they didn't want. A lot of people think they've found the "perfect person" and they end up divorcing in a few years.

Perhaps the Prince turned out gay.

It's rather difficult when I can't understand your grammar.

It's Blue Gene/L by IBM.

A seizure is when most/all of the neurons fire simultaneously.

The only reason evolution isn't presented entirely as fact is because we haven't got a time machine to go prove it definitively. Irreducible complexity, as you have made a reference to, is false; read http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/CI/CI102.html Do you have any idea how huge the Sun is? http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/CE/CE310.html Yes, I do. Carbon dating is accurate to about 50,000 years ago. It has been tested and compared with tree-ring data, as well as observations of radioactive decay, and it is very accurate up to that point. a) What's wrong with shells in all fossil layers? Perhaps they're well adapted so they don't have to evolve anymore. b) You didn't read my link to plenty of evidence for evolution. http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB015.html You're a moron. Evolution says NOTHING about the Big Bang. Nothing. Please understand what you're trying to argue against before you make a fool of yourself.

No, the individual with the most URLs for today has 4,869,963. There are multiple ways because you can fiddle with your own algorithm and see if you can make it better than the default one. The default is rather pathetic for relevancy, although that's what the owner plans on improving now that the crawler works well.

Google gets me 149,000,000 for "star wars", and this new one gets me just over a million. Not actually comparable. But there are many more being crawled daily. I've done about 30,000 URLs so far today.

You also can't prove that God did do it. It's just as likely that the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the universe as it is God did. It's just that scientific theories such as evolution have plenty of evidence behind them.

I've spotted a very interesting new concept for a search engine. Simply put, it uses distributed computing rather than one centralized cluster of servers doing the crawling. This means that the system is getting ridiculous amounts of new URLs every day (because there are numerous crawlers at once, rather than a few big ones) and lots of new data. I think it's a rather nice idea. Unfortunately, their alpha search engine component (the bit for actually searching the stuff the crawlers have gotten) is a bit lacking. A lot of various searches turn up Microsoft as the first result - no idea why - and other irrelevant things. They have multiple algorithms, however, so I think progress is being made there. Thoughts? I think it could be much better at crawling as much internet content as possible. link: http://www.majestic12.co.uk/

In science, theories typically have enough evidence to say "this is pretty much true, but we're not absolutely sure. http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/CB/CB101.html http://talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/ http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/list.html#CE (look through all of the links there) http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD011.html and http://talkorigins.org/indexcc/CD/CD010.html Please note that the site I am linking to you provides references to studies to back it up. Feel free to look through those as well.

If you used 100% of your brain at a given moment, you'd be having a seizure.

I agree with you there, but you also have to be able to distinguish between metaphorical and literal sections of the Bible. If you want scientific evidence, I suggest you go to a credible site such as talkorigins. Mind you, talkorigins tries to avoid sticking to trying to support things like the Bible and such, while instead using facts and not suppositions to support itself. And, of course, it gives references to other credible sources.

You should be able to do it. Most Windows versions have retained compatibility with each other, and so you could probably go back to Windows 98 or so before you start having too many problems.

There is simply no need to be nasty about it, nor any need to stereotype someone instantly.

You could, but then we'd get mad and make your postcount -47. Happened to me once (though it was 32 they changed it to).

I don't think this is the root problem, but I'd suggest opening up the bottom of the mouse and taking out the ball so you can clean off all the dust on the various wheels in it.

The "a friend" suggests you have a problem socializing.

I think you've got things the wrong way around. You need to read a good article on what evolution says and what its evidence is. I suggest: http://talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-intro-to-biology.html and http://talkorigins.org/faqs/comdesc/

PowerPoint will also export a stand-alone "reader" that will run your presentation even if PowerPoint isn't installed on that computer. edit: this thread is from October of 2005? why did you post here, nukacola?

I like the current method, because I simply glance through threads and let the system mark them read automatically.

Franklin, persistent strawmanning and disrespect towards moderators will earn you warning points.

Quite interesting. It appears Firefox is shooting up in the popularity rankings. I'm glad to see it myself.
