  1. They have found black holes, but no white holes. The problem with white holes is the fact that they would either A: have to only last for a extremely short period of time and they would implode on themselves and create a black hole or B: have to bend the laws of physics.The only reason black holes do not bend the laws of physics yet, is if the theory is correct that they are just huge white dwarfs, they will eventually die off and turn into a nebula. All the matter was absorbed will be released from the gravitation pull slowly as the star dies off. So in sense if you want to call anything a white hole it would be a dead black hole.
  2. Actually there is some proof I've read in some science journals, that Black Holes could just huge White Dwarfs. White Dwarfs have a huge mass for how small they are, because the pressure has compacted them so much. So in a sence, a Super White Dwarf could have such a gravitational pull that it could cause a Gravitational Collapse and create something that would appear to be a black hole.
  3. Well I agree with you on this belief. Religion should bring us together and not separate us. There have been just as many wars waged in the name of God, as Allah. To me one war over religion is too many. I do also agree with you truefusion that everyone is hoping for the best outcome, however I think that by clashing about it is not what I would call the best outcome. This is something I've always believed in, "All Religion is is just words. Sticks and Stones can break my bones, but words can never hurt me." Ok...hopefully I haven't offended anyone and if I did I didn't mean it intentionally.
  4. I'm tending to agree with pretty much what everyone is saying. Basically she is asking for trouble, wither it be relationship wise or health wise. Either A: she going to end up with an STD that destroy her chances of having a kid when she wants to have one, or B: End up getting pregnant and she will not be able to deal with it.However, its really up to her to take the chance, if she thinks its worth the risk for a quick thrill, then she can go for it for that life style. However, I would make sure she clearly understands the risks and the effect those risks could have long term.
  5. Well I've had similar problems with trucks before and higher profile vehicles. That was the reason I ended up in an accident was because there was about 10 higher profile vehicles preventing me from seeing around them.Anyway, I've seen trucks driving on the other side of the road. One even forced me over to the shoulder because he wouldn't get over the correct lane and this wasn't even on a freeway and the person wasn't even passing anyone. I sometimes wonder how some people get there license.Personally opinion, close to 70% of all cars I see on the road or Trucks and higher profile vechiles and most of the people I see don't need those types of vehicles.
  6. I think that it is possible for maybe a smaller version of the dragon to have existed, but not the monsters we see in alot of movies. Maybe ones about the size of a T-Rex, but not any bigger then that. The only reason I say this is because of how bird evolved from lizards. It is possible that maybe a lizard would of kept the wing evolution, but may have died out because of competition.However, I still think it is more likely for them to be a myth. This is because it is possible for many civilizations to come to the same conclusion on beasts. This is because most people fear things that are unlike themselves. Reptiles are cold blooded, scaly, some have no legs, and many don't think they are cute and cuddly. So what is a perfect monster? A huge lizard. Now lets make it even worse by tacking on some Wings, sharp claws, and the ability to breath fire. Everything about a Dragon is pretty much something that humans can't do or is as far from human as possible.
  7. When it comes to actual sales I think New Balance has them pretty much beat. They are available in many retail stores and is alot cheaper then companies like K-Swiss and Nike. However, when it comes to fashion appeal then Nike, because they have pretty much been named the number one sport shoe. However what gets them is that they aren't available in alot of retail stores and they cost more. However, I really can't make too much of an observation right now on footwear since everyone is where those flip flops. However when it comes to shoes I would rather suggest Sketchers or K-Swiss. My Sketchers lasted for well over 5 years and the only reason I had to replace them is because they would become water logged if I stepped in a puddle, because they were so worn out. I have K-Swiss shoes right now and they have lasted me a good 2 years so far and are still water tight. Keep in mind I ware basically the same pair of shoes everday, so my shoes are not lightly tested.
  8. Not to sound like one of those optimistic people, but in my opinion I do believe we will find a cure for AIDS and HIV. They said we would never find a cure for Small Pox, but we did. Same thing with Polio. However, I do think there is a cure for the problem already. I think people need to be tested more often for the virus. As long as those people who are infected don't spread it the virus will disappear. I'm not saying quarantine people is the answer to the issue. Its just that I think the main reason this has become a problem is, because of people lack in responsibility in getting tested and if they test positive for the virus to not spread it to other people. I even think people who go off and spread the virus without knowing they had it in the first place are just as bad as spreading it and know you have it. If you are planning on going off and having sex with multiple partners, then you should get tested at least once a month. If you come up positive for the virus, its your job to go and get a hold of your partners and tell them they may have the virus too and to get tested.
  9. Well the only reason I asked that is mostly because of the different advertising schemes they use. When something is released on to DVD or tape, the advertisement is not as massive as for a movie that is being released in theater.
  10. Well, it would be interesting to see, but I would still find it rather disturbing, but it wouldn't put me to sleep on a movie making stand point. What I'm wondering is wither you meant movie or information stand point. On the information stand point, I wouldn't use a movie of this type to get information from. Sure some of the facts maybe true, but movie makes do alot of things in order to increases the effect it has on its audience. This makes me do some more wondering, What type of audience do you guys think the director intend this to be viewed by?
  11. I still think they would make a movie about it, but thats Hollywood for ya. Anyway, I've been thinking. If the movie is ment in order to help people remember, why advertise it so much? After having seen the advertisement at least once a day for the past two weeks, its causing me to become numb to the subject and the imagery they are using. When you start numbing down on the events such as that people are more likely to forget the event. I don't think we will forget this event, at least well people are still around who lived threw it.
  12. w00t free games. Thank you so much for the list, Tezza, I can't wait to check them out.
  13. Well I do think the same thing that Hollywood is just trying to make a quick buck off of peoples grief and patriotism. I'm waiting to be called "unamerican" or uncaring, because I'm refusing to see that movie. I don't think its even worth the money to go off an support the shameless exploiting of a tragedy that we all have recovered from. To me that is unamerican an uncareing. However, there was one thing I learned from my Digital Media teacher is that, "Hollywood has no morals, consideration for others feelings, and will do anything in order to make a profit or to get a good shot". So I understand their side of the story and why they are doing it. So I don't think there should be a law put up against it. That's kind of going against freedom of speech there. Instead of making a law against it, I think there should be an unwritten rule with all film makers not to make a movie about a tragic event until X number of years after the event. The only way that will happen is if most of the general population go bananas about it and basically turns the movie into a flop instead of a hit. For some reason I'm not seeing that happening with this movie. Unless the news and media slam it down so hard with negative criticism, that no one in there right mind would go see it, this movie will most likely be a "All American Hit".
  14. I have no problem with nudity as long as its for an artistic or scientific purpose. However if its ment as adult entertainment, then I have a problem. If you want adult entertainment, it shouldn't be advertised or placed on channels that come with a normal cable package pr have nothing to do with the subject. If you want adult entertainment, then you can buy those channels separately. I don't want to see an advertisement for some adult video when I'm trying to watch a decent program.Of course I do not live in Australia, so I don't know how bad it is there. Normally what I see is adult advertisements, but not as much as programing.
  15. Ok...I wasn't sure wither this put this under Movies or Debates. So bare with me if I am in the wrong place. Recently they started a TV campaign to advertise the new movie World Trade Center that is being released on August 9th. Basically it is retelling what happened on September 11, 2001. Ok, I'm normally not effected by movies, but this one has effected me just in the advertisement. Just the whole idea of seeing people suffering in an event that only took place 5 years ago just seems to get me. So I got to thinking, I didn't know anyone who was effected directly by the attacks, so what must a person be going threw right now who was? They must be devastated by the idea of having to go back and remember September 11th all over again each and every time they see that advertisement and even see how their loved one might have gone threw before they died. To me this just seems like torture for the victims families, its just too earlier to go back and rip open those wounds which may have just begin to heal. I'm not saying don't remember what happened, but to me there's a time and place where forgetting, when it comes to the healing process of grief. To me 5 years isn't enough for grieving families to get over the event, enough to deal with a movie coming out on the event. I think at the least wait 10 years after the event before releasing a movie about the event. Ok here is my debate. How long do you think movies based on a tragic event (such as the September 11th) should wait to be released or made after the event has taken place? Should that movie be released in theaters or just released in stores? Should there be a mass advertising campaign for such a movie?
  16. Good advice...I yell at my boyfriend all the time to clean his nails. Anyway very informative post AnGeL KiSS. Alot of this I already knew from my friend who took cosmetology. Whats rather interesting is red skin around your cuticles also could mean the person bites their nails. I bit my nails for a long time and I just recently got over it (w00t to me for breaking a 14 year habit ) and the skin around my cuticles was very red and cracked alot, even though I only bit the tips of the nail off. Once I stopped the skin around the cuticles healed and is no longer red any more.
  17. Well my favorite food is local only. Has anyone heard of Skyline Chili? I love there Chili Cheese Sandwiches and their 4-Way. Plus they have some of the best hot sauce around.
  18. Ugh...its $2.91 here in Ohio. Personal opinion, I hate to run on conspiracy theories, but here goes one. I think the gas companies are either A: hording the gas to make it look like we are having a shortage or B: hording the secret to an safer and cheaper alternative fuel. Hey, for all we know they could have the secret to the meaning of life as well in there filing cabinet.
  19. I would be most likely drawing or playing offline games...alot of offline games. Anyway, I don't want to think about that because I would go crazy because alot of my friends I only talk to online and I would go crazy when I'm at work...now that I think I don't even know my work would exist.
  20. w00t, may more members come...and then when we get enough members we can take over the world. *evil laugher*
  21. I agree with what everyone is pretty much saying. Just wait for her to break up with her boyfriend. Just keep in mind to make sure she has broken up with her said boyfriend before you accept her offer. One of my boyfriend's Exs asked a guy out, even though she never broke up with him or even mentioned it to him. Keep in mind if she does do this, she may not be as great of a catch as you think she is. Girls like that tend to be repeat offenders. I'm not saying she isn't that great, but I would be on guard because she may go and do it to you.
  22. *carefully inspects tower* Where did those come from O.o Anyway, I've already tried to roll back the drivers with no success, they only have an updated version of the drivers on the site and they can't update, because I think the drivers are missing. I'm going to see if there's a way to do a system restore with out using the disk (if there is such a thing) because the drivers are on the disks that came with the computer, which is kind of pointless since the problem is the Disk drives are not working. There is nothing I can do its back to the repair store. Since its covered and well not be charged.EDIT: Ok, problem has been solved. It turns out a wire inside the computer had come loose when they fixed the Power Supply. Its working now.
  23. I know this is rather morbid of me but...."Dude...your getting a Bomb".Anyway, I hope there are more explosions and no one gets hurt. I also don't trust the source too much, but I find the idea rather comical.
  24. Ok, I hate to add to the many boards about CD Drives, but I have a major issue with a friend of mines computer. Ok, the problem is the DVD and the CD Disk Drives are not showing up, at least properly. She just recently had to get her power supply replaced, because we believed a surge got threw her surge protector and fried it. I'm wondering if that would of effected the DVD and CD Drivers.What is showing up is not the CD and DVD drivers but some other stuff. To me it looks like that the computer may be recognizing the CD and DVD drives as External Hard Drives and not CD and DVD Disk Drives. We have no external hard drives hooked up to the computer, but it is showing that we do have external hard drives and when we click on them it says "Please Insert Disk into so and so Drive". We put a disk in said drive and it doesn't recognize the disk at all and still claims there is no Disk in the drive.I've attached a screen shot of her computer screen. She only has 2 Disk Drives and she has nothing else attached to the computer that would cause those four unknown things (J:, I:, H:, G:) to showing up. We are planning to take it back to the repair shop tomorrow and I'm just wondering if I should try something before we do. Next thing I'm wondering if anyone would know what usbcrft.sys thing would be? When I went looking threw the drivers to see if any of them had been changed, that was the only driver that had been changed recently. Actually it was changed when we started up the computer, so I'm wondering if I should be worried about that or not. I would list the CD/DVD Drives information, but because they are not showing up properly I can not find the information on them. However I do know the computer model. Medion M3 Composer 5300 and yes I've already checked (or at least tried to) their site for information and I have come up with nothing.
  25. What will they think of next. The thing that worries me is that its "puncture resistant". Thing in space travel pretty fast, even something as small as a pebble could be going at an extreamly fast rate of speed that we whould never be able to achive on Earth, because of no friction or gravity to slow it down. What would happen if you did get a hole in the satalite? I'm not saying that the design can't be improved apon but I think I would rather have it be puncture proof instead of resistant, before I would plan on spending a night in one of those.
