I trust that we have enough hackers to form a counter attack if such a thing would happen. But I tend to doubt (or at least hope) that we are being hacked...tho some funny things have been going on with the server lately. It's been busy when there were only 5 or 6 people online, so I cant rule anything out.

...A moment of recognition for our fallen brethren... ...they will forever live on in the history of pirating...

lol oh well, it was just a suggestion

lol, its definitely different from regular debate, but I cant help but like it...Its our final for debate class this semester. Should turn out fun! Have to see what the admins and mods think of it

Well, usually, when I go to school, I turn it off, but sometimes, I do leave it on. I guess the only reason I find to leave it on is just for the distributed computing, or when Im finishing up a download (like a movie or something), but normally, when Im off, so is the computer.

well, I hope everyone got everything they wanted. I took the suprise right out of the holidays, but it was a great christmas for me -Nintendo DS -Mario 64 for DS -Metroid Prime for DS -Zelda four swords adventures for gamecube -Donkey conga for Gamecube (its actually fun!) -Sonic Heroes for Gamecube -Mario Party 6 for Gamecube -True Crime for Gamecube (rented it...beat it...loved it) -Lego mindstorm kit (I never grew up...) -New CD/Mp3 player (my old...died...I SWEAR I DIDNT DO IT!) -Some new good Bose headphones -"Best of Will Ferrel" SNL DVD -Zire 72 palm -Hard case for Zire 72 -1 gig memory card for Zire 72 -Halo 2 (w00t!) -Cruzer Micro 512 mb flash drive -Some gift cards My Christmas was fun, how about yours?!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all

I love a'da bass. I dont know exactly why, but it really really enhances the beat, and makes the rhythm recognizable. I try not to be obnoxious about it, but since my computer sound system has 2 subwoofers, I try to turn it down sometimes...but when Im home alone...the bass goes up and the houses nearby go down. But like was said before, it really depends upon the music...I dont want to hear my mom's old hippy music with a few hundred thousand watts behind the beat, but I wouldnt mind something liks LPJZ on my stereo.

I honestly dont know what to say to that, other than Im sorry. I dont like asking, but would anyone mind if I use their opinions in the forum as quotes? I am now doing a debate about PAS, and I dont know where else to look. Does anyone have any good resources for this topic, or another opinion, whether it be in favor or against. Thanks once more. Edit* Im not sure If I posted this here before, but I would just like to say that, yes, I am in favor of euthenasia, when circumstances are at a condition worse than death.

I was thinking...the debate format that we're working from now is getting a little old. Why not include a new format, like Lincoln-Douglas format. Since Lincoln Douglas debates are all about ethics and values, we should at least give it a thought, considering that we have a section devoted to biomedical ethics. For those who dont know, Lincoln Douglas debates are all, ALL, about morals and values. The first debater would have to define all the values that they will be debating, then how they would uphold them. Then the resons why holding those values in that respect is best. The neg would in turn hold the values in another light, and prove why that is better. There's no plan really, just a debate over who hold the morals in the right respect. What do u think about including them in the debate section. (I know that some of our debates now have been basically about morals, but they arent really conforming with the rest of them, i think that a new section would be beneficial) I was thinking that some of the topics in the biomedical secion would make for excellent debate topics

whoa, i just noticed actually that if i use a different type of headphones for my MP3 player, and twist them the right way with the EQ, i dont hear the words. Interesting, but kinda cool

Yea, ive had that problem once or twice too, but I usually just mess around with the EQ and it comes back

i think where someone went wrong was when they tried to represent something theoretical with something physical. Of couse no two apples are perfectly similar, but it is the value that each represents that plays into the equation.

lol, save some for the rest of us man. by that, i mean both babes, and booze

lol, panic, me never In any case, just wasnt sure what was going on. thanks! Free bar! WHERE?!

whoa! I suddenly only have 599 posts, or so it appears! What happened to the 779 or something i had about an hour ago?!? Has anyone else had this problem?! Im not mad, just really suprised! What happened?

...well...maybe you are...

agreed

What does everyone think? I honestly dont know. I kinda want to rent a movie, but i dont know which one. give a quick review of the movie, and why you think its good/bad. Thanks!

lol, YT has high standards in any case, kinda. Ive been told a thousand different things about my own mind and its relation to my age. lol. apparently, im too young to know anything about anything and too naive to solve any mysteries of the universe...ha to them! Who's the one working on the cures now!?

You've convinced me! You have just sucessfully destroyed every singe qualified theory as to dimensional existance...good job man! *edit-what a good first impression...

Im a supporter of therapeutic cloning, where the pre-embyo never reaches above 10 cells, and as more develop, more are extracted. I honestly dont feel that at the point of 10 cells, the organism can be classified as conscious. But the point at which it becomes immoral (i feel) is when embryos are deliberately destroyed for the science, rather than them being donated for the science (basically, when people are forced to abort in order to supplement studies)-when life is destroyed ONLY for the research. Like Geode said, abortion is legal at this point and how immoral is it, after abortion, to submit the cells to the good of humanity?

It doesnt show that Ive joined b/c I have a 450,000 W/U to finish, so u can imagine how long that might take running the background

Some info onto the Folding@Home project for any who arent sure about it... http://folding.stanford.edu/science.html On their site (http://folding.stanford.edu/) they also have a results page- (http://folding.stanford.edu/results.html) giving you an idea on what they've accomplished thus far, and summaries on their findings can be found in the press release page- http://folding.stanford.edu/papers.html

in fact, im fairly sure i still have those slides somwhere. Maybe I could get those developed and processed into digitals. I'll get on that one whenever i have a free second.
