  1. Oh damn... I didn't know. I retract my statement. But still...
  2. You a look a bit like Lars Ulrich. Or a bit like Brandon Lee as The Crow. I don't know...anyone else see that?
  3. If none of those work then as a last resort you can manually remove them. Go here: http://www.doxdesk.com/parasite/CoolWebSearch.html and at the end is the Manual Removal section.
  4. That was the Fonze "AAAAY" not a scream of terror.
  5. Red meat is generally labelled as unhealthy.
  6. Now that I am a mod I have decided to reveal myself... I'm the person on the right. Like I'm going to show my face! But that's me and my roommate posing outside my door in our test taking outfit. We would take all our tests wearing that and after Anatomy and Microbiology we would smoke a cigar.
  7. I don't think this thread is ready to be closed yet...it's not THAT bad. If Kanti thinks this is enough for his project then it can be closed or just left alone.
  8. taratata lives in France so he is French-French.
  9. Just because you fail to understand the scientific principles doesn't make it wrong. The fact that we have these similarities is exactly what makes evolution a more viable theory. Take a few advanced classes and learn stuff before you try to argue. I went to Catholic school and learned all about Creationism and it just doesn't make as much sense. And evolutionists believe we were created, just not at one moment by God just a few thousand years ago. We were created by an ongoing process of evolution. Unlike religion, science doesn't claim that it has all the answers which is why we try to understand the unknown. And scientific theories are RARELY overturned because it is HARD for something to even become a theory. Science isn't out to prove the Bible wrong, it is out to make sense of the world we live in. If science sometimes contradicts the Bible, so be it. Many scientists are people who believe in God and know how to separate proper thought from bullshit. Ok...I'll give an example for vertebrates. First vertebrates were marine, lacking jaws or paired fins (550 mya). Jawed fishes then became dominant creatures in the sea (450 mya). Amphibian ancestors first to invade the land (400 mya). Largely replaced by reptiles more suited to live on land (300 mya). Dinosaurs and other reptiles ruled the earth for 150 million years and their extinction (65 mya) allowed mammals to become dominant. Here is a progression of features: Craniates, ghantosomes, teleostomes, tetrapods, amniotes, mammary glands. Since major breakthroughs in biology basically started in the mid to late 1800s, we're still advancing. You can't blame science for not having answers yet since we are still working on it. You're talking like ALL people that believe in evolution are Godless motherflockers and ALL people who believe in God believe in Creationism. You are GRAVELY mistaken. And the stories about floods and dragons isn't worth mentioning since peopel back then were idiots. Even bigger idiots than we are now. Let's just retire this arguement because I've got too much work to do right now.
  10. Wait...why is freedom of speech even coming up? This is the Intarweb so their is freedom of speech.
  11. Google man, Google. http://www.sciencemadesimple.net/EASYlength.html
  12. I'm not trying to prove Creationism wrong, I'm just trying to show which makes more sense in the light of science now. It's the same way around for you, you can't prove evolution but you can try to make sense of it through religion. I choose to take the science way, you choose religion. And about science proving religion wrong recently, it's kind of tough since most religions don't try to preach science anymore. They got out of that business a long time ago.
  13. Here's a picture that's in my Biology text book. Is this how yours is? It's not real, it's a presentation at the Smithsonian on exponential growth.
  14. If you are using Kawaks, you add that code to the ASR.DAT and if you are using Nebula then you have to it to the NEOGEO.DAT. For MAME and FBA, I don't know.
  15. Green of forest? Nude place? Everytime I see those I crack up.
  16. You don't know how to read do you? If you did then you would have read the proof of macroevolution in some of those bullet points. * All life shows a fundamental unity in the mechanisms of replication, heritablility, catalysis, and metabolism. * Common descent predicts a nested hierarchy pattern, or groups within groups. We see just such an arrangement in a unique, consistent, well-defined hierarchy, the so-called tree of life. * Many organisms show rudimentary, vestigial characters such as sightless eyes or wings useless for flight. * Atavisms sometimes occur. An atavism is the reappearance of a character present in a distant ancestors but lost in the organism's immediate ancestors. We only see atavisms consistent with organisms' evolutionary histories. * Ontogeny (embryology and developmental biology) gives information about the historical pathway of an organism's evolution. For example, whales and many snakes develop hind limbs as embryos which are reabsorbed before birth. * Evolution predicts that new structures are adapted from other structures that already exist, and thus similarity in structures should reflect evolutionary history rather than function. We see this frequently. For example, human hands, bat wings, horse legs, whale flippers, and mole forelimbs all have similar bone structure despite their different functions. * The same principle applies on a molecular level. Humans share a large percentage of their genes, probably more than 70%, with a fruit fly or a nematode worm. *When two organisms evolve the same function independently, different structures are often recruited. For example, wings of birds, bats, pterosaurs, and insects all have different structures. Gliding has been implemented in many additional ways. Again, this applies on a molecular level, too. * Some nonfunctional DNA, such as certain transposons, pseudogenes, and endogenous viruses, show a pattern of inheritance indicating common ancestry. Look at the similarities in embryological states. Here is a nice monophyletic phylogeny: Read these: http://books.nap.edu/html/creationism/ http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/history/evolution.html http://www.evolutionhappens.net/ Now you show me a source that ISN'T affiliated with a religious organization that has better proof.
  17. Ok, what you do is this: Open up mIRC and go into the Options. Then under Connect you'll see Servers. Click on that. Then press Add and type in irc.rizon.net and keep the port number the same. Then just type in a name for the description so it adds to the Server list. Press Add to complete the processes. Then on the drop down menu "IRC Network" go down to whatever you named the Rizon server. Then press OK and click the Connect button (the lighting thing). And once it connects to the Rizon server, type in /j #gotwoot Enjoy!
  18. I'm pretty sure it was real because his joke was that this is"National Mock the 3rd World Awareness Month."
  19. That's not the biggest...I've seen bigger. It was on The Dennis Miller Show.
  20. Real Ultimate Power is the greatest site on Earth. I saw Robert Hamburger's book at Books-a-Million and it was really funny but I only $10 dollars cash on me. Hi, this site is all about ninjas, REAL NINJAS. This site is awesome. My name is Robert and I can't stop thinking about ninjas. These guys are cool; and by cool, I mean totally sweet.
  21. My favorite part of SVC was the engrish. But it was still nice to see completely new Capcom sprites even though some of their animations were well below par.
  22. Hahahaha! Now those pictures should have been in the newspapers instead, it would have been more interesting.
  23. Holy crap...I'm a moderator. As my first order of business I have changed the topic of the Folding@home thread to display the Team #. Thanks to all for making this a great forum! Cheers all!
