Genecks

I liked the more condensed form of the forum, the one with subboards instead of everything laid out.

Nah, the way it was is fine. I think it was nice for each forum board to have subboards.

Agreed. When Wikipedia was first starting, I would edit things left and right. However, the community has grown, and I don't have to do as much as I once did. Therefore, I sit on the sidelines and fix grammar when it annoys me. The other thing that has been annoying me is when people tell me how to do things on Wikipedia. I think to myself, "I've been active over 4 years. STFU." Yeah, they don't like that attitude of mine. I try filling a hole with a new article, and they instantly want it deleted if it's not "good enough." Back in the day, they would keep it if it simply filled the hole. These days they want sources and everything else. Ugh.

The beta is so weird. I don't remember ever using it before. Anyway, how do I edit a post? Oh, well there it is. I wasn't able to use that button in the announcements thread... o.O And now my post that was there is gone...

Ahh, a logo. How refreshing the beta version is.

Probably. What I'm reading seems to be illogical. It seems as if the author uses improper pronoun-antecedent usage.

Maybe. But Einstein changed the groundwork of Newton.

[math](4.69)(10^{14}s^{-1})[/math] I believe that's the frequency. I'm not too sure what variables I'm suppose to be using. I know the answer is [math](4.2)(10^{16})[/math], but I don't see how.

So infinity = constant to count to infinity, you must = constant of infinity What's to say we aren't already constant, though. I mean, matter doesn't get created nor destroyed... 'Twould be odd to say you've already counted to infinity, so you don't have to now. Hmm. I wonder if a number system, however, is a good way of saying you can't count to infinity. I mean, counting up is not a constant. But staying at one is a constant.

I don't see why not. However, from our current knowledge in science, we haven't been able to experiment on a ghoul, nor actually prove they exist. This, however, doesn't mean we would not be able to figure out their physical composition were we to find one and dissect it. A new branch of physics would have to be created, since we've never seen something like that before. It's like asking if cats exist and we can understand their biology and physics, but in the situation where cats have never been seen on Earth; so in point, we don't really know. But sure, anything is possible. However, that doesn't mean it exists. After studying metaphysics, I've determined to call that which is metaphysics unseen, unknown, or untouched. Now, from a physical standpoint, if we did find these things, we'd use empiricism to analyze them. Otherwise, we'd have to create a new branch of physics, as stated. If we couldn't use our system of mathematics and physics to understand these things, then apparently something is wrong with our system, or something in our system has not been 'empirically' created.

I was reading a thread, and I thought to myself, "Hmm. This person did a biology experiment." I've done a few biology experiments myself, but I'm typically not the kind of person to share my experiments. However, I think it would be a nice addition to the board.

Good job, dude. We need more intellectuals on Internet forums. The more, the better. But, you've got to remember one thing as you gain power and move up the ladder: Don't let it go. So many stories I have read about people reaching their goals and then slacking off. Hit it hard. More power to you.

YES! Lava is what I would use against a 10 meter high water wave. 10 meters isn't that much? Is it? Why would I stop it? google.com says, "10 meters = 32.808399 feet" Hmm. I'm about a fifth of that wave. I could just grab a bunch of people, and we could run into it. No problem there.

Omg! It's Anarchy! Anarchy, I Tell You!

My chemistry book is covering some basics of energy and photons. I worked most of the problems, but I couldn't figure this one out:

Well, the logo is not back. Just making sure you know that.

Anyone else notice the SFN logo is gone? Nevermind. This is in the announcements, which I rarely look at.

Eggs, tuna, peanuts, sesame seed kernels, peanut butter, broccoli with cheese, spinach, etc. The trick is to get foods high in fiber and protein. I can easily live healthy on $60 USD a month if forced. The trick is to be a decent cook, have a good understanding of food and health, and be able to keep track of the budget. However, one must remember to take a vitamin. Rice will make you hungry, and its loaded with carbs. Sugar tends to make many people hungry. I'd stay away from sugar, and find things that curb your appetite.

Freeze it. If I had to improvise? A combination of drying, freezing, and blockading.

I choose dragon. I think he stores wittiness in his food cabinet.

Oh, wow! That's such a great idea. I know what we should do. We should create a system for these new boxes with wires and electronics in them. I think we'll have a way of transmitting messages to tons of them. We could set up signals and wires to allow people to communicate. Yeah, that would work.

I setup Vista on a computer a couple of weeks ago. I told the person, "I'll set it up, but there's not much I can do beyond that." I set it up, but then I tried setting up a wireless network between Windows Millenium and Vista. I was trying to setup the printer from a different computer. I couldn't do it by myself, so I tried doing it with another person. We both couldn't do it in the end. I couldn't find anything about it on the Internet. I don't know what went wrong. On a side note: I have never bought a Mac. I will never buy a Mac. I hope to God to never use a Mac for more than a couple of hours once a month. I hate Macs. I don't like their file system. I'm accustomed to the Winfile.exe type setup. I'm from the days of DOS and Windows 3.1. I've never like Macintosh computers. I'm not saying it would be a bad idea to learn how to use a Mac, but I would not use it. I'm already annoyed by how Linux and Mac share a filedirectory system that looks the same. CD and DIR/P/W are all I really need

Depending on social context, blondes could possibly encounter social discrimination. Perhaps because they are seen as sex idols from earlier generations. Or perhaps they are seen as dumb. Or perhaps as a form of earlier social discrimination. Thus, this can create a society where dumb, blonde women occur. From my perspective, I've met some intelligent blonde women. However, they were always high and mighty of themselves, and they were too social. I don't typically find this with other women. So, is acting high and might dumb when you're intelligent? Sure is. It's a good way to get stabbed, too. But to say the least, don't commit the fallacy of hasty generalization.

It all depends on the students and the teacher. If the teacher can't teach a wide, varied audience, then the teacher sucks. Therefore, the students will suck, too. Primarily because they haven't been guided correctly. It'd turn into a scenario where the teacher expects more than he or she taught. Not a good scenario. I figure most things depend on a teacher with wisdom and intelligence. Such a teacher can be a leader and an organized one. Smaller would help, but being able to deal with a crowd would be a good idea. The trick is to control students and make sure all succeed. That's why I think student-teacher conferences are a good idea. I don't do an honor's program. I wouldn't bother. It's a bunch of BS, anyway. More work? Why?! I can study and surpass my peers in more ways than one. I already do. I could establish my credibility, but I don't like being cocky. Someone from the University of Chicago recently called me a sociopath. She didn't feel like giving me the title of megalomaniac. I wouldn't want to waste another hour in a classroom. I already place my voice recorder on the table, ignore the professor, study, and play it back twice as fast when I get home. This is my way of saying college is a waste of my time and I wish it went *faster,* not harder. Waste of time if you ask me. No! Apparently, you haven't been in college that long. To answer your question, the way to fix these problems is to make a standard. By "standard," I mean a way for people to say, "The material covered in that course in College X is equal to the material covered in University Y." I recently took a religion course, which was very philosophical and taught by a priest. He had a lot of knowledge in the subjects, and he did various jobs for people and taught them religion. He didn't teach them Christianity, mind you. For example, he would go to Chinese persons' homes and teach their children Chinese religions. He taught various religions to various people, and he taught various religions to us students. Now the problem is that I got a hold of a document from another philosophy professor saying there was going to be a meeting about that course with staff from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I got this hand-out by accident. I took the liberty to read it on my own, and the professor wasn't too happy about me reading it. The meeting was whether or not that course was the same as "course z" offered by UIUC. The meeting took place, and the people from UIUC said, "No." I talked to the professor the next day and asked, "Why is that?" She said, "Because they have a superiority complex." My premise is because that university is more of a business than an academic center. However, I know very well the course is the same freaking thing in both places. And I know if I were to take it at UIUC, it would be the same freaking thing. And that's why I'm angry that the same freaking thing isn't accepted. Wrong. Sure, it might help the social scene, but people can't strive for individuality that well. Also, larger classrooms mean less time for the professor to reach each person. That's why I always talk about professors being more organized. After being in college for two years, I've learned something: For having a PhD or Master's, professors are unwise, unintelligent, and lazy. See, that's one of the reasons. That statistic signals to the professors, "Not many of your students are going far in the future. Therefore, don't waste too much time on them." In other words, professors start to see various students as uncaring degenerates whom won't make it far in the academic world. And I dislike those types. Professors don't care to spend much time on their students. A larger amount of students is only going to make sure each student DOES NOT get his or her own time with the professor. Wrong. Many colleges are already in debt. They have money to spend, but they aren't going to spend it on the students. Nope, they rather find a way to make more money with their money. And that means not spending it on the students. Rather, they have the students find ways to become natural-born MacGyvers and improvise all their academic needs. It's true. I've seen it. It somewhat angers me because of the whole determinist vs. freewill thing. In other words, you must teach someone how to be MacGyver. Afterwards, that person can choose whether or not to be MacGyver. If you don't teach that person, then expect the person to never get there. However, if the person goes through trauma, psychotic experiences, etc., then the person will take free-will and teach one's self. Then again, something like that doesn't happen when you're cooped up in a safe environment such as college for two years. It doesn't exactly work that way, and that's why I find a lot of professors to be fools. I hate intelligent fools.

Hahaha, you made a funny.
