  1. Perhaps when our population gets too large we'll cause a stack overflow and the entire universe will crash.
  2. A new study has found that perhaps you really don't get benefits out of drinking moderate amounts of alchohol after all. The study suggests that other studies were flawed, in that they compared moderate alchohol drinkers with people who abstained entirely. But many of those who abstained did so because of medical conditions or other medications, meaning that the group that abstained was already more likely to die, even without the alchohol considered. http://novaspivack.typepad.com/nova_spivacks_weblog/2006/04/moderate_drinki.html
  3. To encourage you to procreate.
  4. Sex is shallow because it's a basic instinct, while wanting most other things (except food and water) is a result of your brain saying "I like music... I want an iPod" rather than "MUST REPRODUCE! MUST REPRODUCE" hormones.
  5. 1.5.0.2 has fixed a lot, and the 2.0 alpha is even better. They're working hard on memory. You may want to report a bug to Mozilla about those crashes. They've stopped supporting 1.0.x, so I'd just go with the latest versions.
  6. That's a bit of a kludge.
  7. Only eight or so pages back, and then it dumps the oldest ones.
  8. http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/defense/1227842.html Try that.
  9. So if my arguments are valid, how will links fix that? Are you hoping that you'll find a link that I can't argue against?
  10. You haven't said anything about our arguments against you, nor do I consider "gut feelings" very accurate. The scientific method involves logic, and while gut feelings may get you a good idea, they don't prove it.
  11. You're still throwing links at us. The first one is full of assumptions ("As the plane in question hit the Pentagon, what else can we conclude but that the 'order' was not to shoot down the aircraft and to let it find its target. Mineta stated that he did not know what the 'order' was because he wasn't there when it was made." What an assumption.) The second I have not read thoroughly, but I can say that the use of the word "claimed" and the lack of testimony from the other 14 makes it less convincing.
  12. Just a note to everybody else that this thread isn't for telling herme3 how much IE sucks, it's for discussing the toolbar.
  13. Franklin, you are hardly addressing anything anybody says, but just keep throwing links at us. I'm getting the impression you're doing what I did long ago in an argument with Sayonara: when all else fails, throw links at them. Please put thought into your posts.
  14. You can ask one of the benevolent administrators.
  15. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4905892.stm Another psychologist says fetuses don't experience pain.
  16. I don't like rap at all, but I can tolerate it. If it's playing somewhere, I just ignore it. I prefer classical however.
  17. A recent study suggests that the UK's testing system for bird flu may actually be missing most cases, leading officials to believe the flu isn't as widespread as it really is. New Scientist has talked with several bird flu experts, and they say that the numbers produced by the UK's tests are vastly different than expected. "There's something wrong with those numbers" says one Swedish expert, and others suggest that the techniques for obtaining fecal samples from birds are flawed. If they're right, it means that the UK may have a much larger problem than it thinks. http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=mg19025473.600
  18. dllcache is designed to prevent you from changing any core components, by automatically fixing anything you changed with the copy out of dllcache. The i386 directory is essentially a copy of the installation files and such. It's useful simply because if you install new hardware, XP can just look in that folder for drivers rather than having you insert the installation disc again so it can find them. System Restore is something you don't want to get rid of, because it can be so useful to fix your computer. I don't know why you'd want to remove that bit (even though I don't have System Restore on), but it saves all sorts of things and then protects itself from viruses. And yes, Microsoft is trying to make it difficult to modify any part of Windows. That's why it's proprietary software.
  19. Right, moved.
  20. He's been busy: http://sayonara.info/blog/
  21. What's this about frame-breaking websites? Who's using frames to navigate the web? (Frames aren't in the HTML standard any more anyways.) (edit: right, your site uses frames... never mind.)
  22. No. If you went back in time and blew up a building, then in your time, that building would have already been blown up.
  23. The article says nothing about cell phones, yet your title says "I hate cell phone companies".
  24. That wasn't a cell phone line.
