  1. The text is too big and I'm afraid it captures too much attention... try a smaller and different color text.
  2. Never new how April Fools had began. Unfortunately I was expecting something else... something done by mistake I guess, but I guess those French where some prankers...
  3. Wow. thanks for this topic. I am currently looking for a digital camera. Now I know how to select the best one.
  4. Thanks for the tip. I would take you recommendation and read Digital Fortress first. I've been trying to make sometime to read them, but I always have ended up grabbing a different book.
  5. Well, it reads more like a very Americanized version of Mexican food, but heck it was an easy bite. It made me think of Taco Bell, thats pretty Mexican I guess (well only if you aren't Mexican). Okay, lets not get into how Mexican was this... but you forgot the most important part of the Mexican food.... you can't have tacos without salsa If you ever want some tips on how to make a nice salsa just ask for it, I'll be glad to help you out
  6. I've read so far Angels and Demons and The Da Vinci Code and enjoyed reading both. I am planning of reading The Deception Point and Digital Fortress. Even though the theme is practically the same, Mr. Brown knows how to keep the reader hooked reading. It might not be the best of writings but its a nice read.
  7. It seems that mosquitoes are able to evolve and adapt to the new climate, yet the numbers diminish because it becomes impossible for the whole communion to evolve (in part survival of the fittest). Even though, this organisms adapt to new "standards" of living, we cannot depend on their evolutionary response to the climate changer. We must act now while we have time, if not to reverse the damage we have caused, at least to stop further damage to be done. As said before, the extinction of the organisms could and most likely will follow a domino effect, there fore it could be mosquitoes today, livestock tomorrow, and subsequently Humans.
  8. Well I was gone give it out a try, even though it would give the 500x boost, some significant increase would be much appreciated but thanks to the guys posting their observations after giving it a try. If their is no apparent difference in download speed then why bother downloading. Thanks to those who tryed it, and its a shame the program didn't work significantly... just hope as someone said earlier you don't get bombarded with viruses.
  9. Debate takes more then just trying to nullify what was written. In order to debate there must be an argument opposing the previous statement. Oh... and the blood thirsty god thing, it is true in the old testament... a god that punishes children and virgins (the innocents) for the sins of others is not a just god.
  10. The democratic system in my view is the system of haggling, a system where politicians falsely sell there soul to the voting public. In such a system it is not the most adequate politician that becomes elected but rather the best haggler. Sadly enough such a system allow for incompetent politician reach the power positions.
  11. Now I really read it all, airplanes travel underground? Thanks pal you just ruined me now my career in aerospace engineering is ruined, ruined I tell you. How can you dare tell aircrafts travel underground... do you really know how much time that would take? How about international traveling? So I guess Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed underground. Damn I have been a fool all my life.
  12. Its really unbelievable how aggressive kids have become nowadays, only third graders and all ready thinking of harming someone in an organized matter. Damn does Kids Next Door... they are causing children to be aggressive and violent toward adults. I hope it is not too late to amend the way this kids are behaving... To be honest I am curious to know to what extend where they be willing to take their plot.
  13. I consider that we grow here stories that create the idea that something surreal does exist. Personally I do not believe in ghosts due to the fact that I have never seen one, nor do I know anyone that has witness first hand the apparition of a ghost.
  14. I guess those guys have never flown in an airplane or been to the beach. If you are lucky enough a plane can show how the earth begins to curve in the horizon, the same with beaches, one can see the horizon curve.
  15. Why I hated school?Well it was because of the system of public schooling here in America. It is based in a totalitarian based system (Austrian I Believe) which has been proven to not work. Why did I hated this system? I hated the way I had to attend school all day to be taught useless stuff. The program was not only useless, but it was also boring. One had to go through hours going unchallenged.
  16. Permanently? That would be permanent either... probably it will last as long as everyone re-booting there system. Yet, I am interested to know how such virus would infect every single computer connected to the internet at ones... what happens to those that where disconnected and connected later on after such event took place? Many question so little time. By the way... why would you would someone make such a virus... more likely who? The producers of Anti-Virus? XD
  17. According to discovery channel the whole thing of el Chupacabras started in Puerto Rico... some believed it was an alien and others said it was a run-away project from the American facilities located there in Puerto Rico. After investigating the places where the chupacabras had made its appears it was discovered that what was killing the livestock was a herd of wild dogs (as it was assumed since the beginning). It is commonly known that wild dogs develop the tendency to kill livestock just for the fun of it.
  18. I do not believe one can label any player as the best soccer player there is... come on no one player satisfies all the soccer positions... ronaldinhos defense tactics are everything but impresive... maybe he could be labeled as the best offensive central midfielder but no as the best player.
  19. Honestly, I don't remember ever having a dream. Probably something weird going on with me but I can honestly say I have never had a dream in my entire life... But I do know people that have dreamed things the happened later on in life.
  20. People one does not become atheist, one is born atheist. That truth is that neither science nor religion can give a solution to the whole dilemma. Where does all come from? Sure the big bang theory is a bit vague... but hey the important one is evolution theory... you can't expect to have miraculously several thousand years ago. What is the church's explanation to the links of human evolution? Guess god is not perfect and those are his prototypes XD
  21. I am pro choice, I believe a couple should be able to decide whether or not they should proceed to allow the pregnancy to fully develop. What happens when the child comes with severe deformations, its a rape pregnancy, it endangers the life of the mother, and for less develop countries it endanger the well being of a whole family. Some family out there might simply not have the resources to feed one more mouth, I know we have it nice here in the U.S. but what about in third world countries? Is it responsible to allow one more life to come to live just to suffer?
  22. Dude, poll is wrong... forgot a third option.... DON"T CARE Everyone has the right to do what they please with their own body what they want. But the question itself is vague... what do you mean is it right or wrong?... who says is right... a homosexual? who says its wrong? a religious person? I think you meant... is it natural or unnatural? Believe it is natural due to that homosexuality has been observed in almost every specie on earth. It is viewed as classical transsexuality where the sex structures of the brain are in conflict with the physical gender of that person or animal. It is observed in from the tiniest of insects to the biggest of all animals. Sex is a social category. gender is a biological one.
  23. Since the translation directly asks atheists to take a bite at that, I am an atheist so I will take at shot at this huge theory the just tumbled my world Theories Argument... where does all the energy we see today comes from? if energy cannot be created nor destroyed where did it came from? assumed logic... there is a flaw in the law and all energy was at one point introduced (created) by a greater being or thing. The assumption made... this thing that started energy is god... and since he/she created energy... he must be able to destroy it (presumed by article to be Judgment Day). Ther you have it religion is correct.. in your face atheists. Mockery Response...the law of conservation of energy/matter states thet energy/matter cannot be created nor destroyed, it can only change form or phases... since energy/matter cannot be created then the creator, god, in fact is not a spontaneous creator but rather a source... therefore it has changed form and turned into energy and matter as we know it today... resolution....... I AM GOD. Real ResponseTo say that we know that something at one point created energy is wrong because we do not know that... it is only an assumption made by the finite way of thinking of us human beings. We tend to want to limit things, we want a beginning and an end to it. and the things that do not have an end to it we place an icon for it... example numbers... they do not have a beginning nor an end... but we have placed an icon for both the "beginning" (minus infinity) and the "end" (infinity). We can stretch this idea and assume that god is just the icon created to satisfy the need to have a beginning and an end... swallow that Arab dude who's name is not mentioned in the quoting...
  24. Is Christianity superior the religion?Says who? a Christian? Whether your a Christian, Muslim, Jew, etc.. you have chosen to be it. It was a personal choice, it was your decision to join that particular group in the pursue to satisfy the need of a higher power controlling all. Saying the bible is true and portrays a loving god is everything but right. The bible portrays a blood thirsty god... sure Jesus Christ brings peace and love (was he a hippie?) but hey cant ignore the rest of the bible. Okay so some of the names in the bible do match up... but does that really make accurate and real? no it does not. But let me stick to the actual point.. no religion is superior to any other religion... they all should be treated for what they are... social groups.
  25. That question varies from student to student... the one and only answer to this question can only be given by your daughter herself. I can only speculate based on what I have seen in my own family. Since she is second child, she could have probably grown feeling over-shadowed by the older child. As if she felt the older one was smarter. Meaning the older one was the athletic, the one with good grades, the "better" student and she was make the assumption that the older one was or is the "better" child. This happened in my own family, with my younger sister, she always felt opaqued by my older sister and I. Since we where always the ones bringing the excellent grades home... she felt dumb... she felt that our parents appreciated us more for it. Instead of trying to achieve academically and make her way up a pretty steep latter of academic excellence, she went the other way. She caught our parents attention alright... but it was due to her poor attendance to school, very low grades, etc. The only suggestion I have... is a work program... make her feel how a low paying job feels like.
