Slashdot Mirror

Look, you can believe whatever you want, as long as you don't try to use unproveable beliefs to tell others what to do. Like what to learn in school.

Evolution is a theory. This means that it is probably true, but there can be a mistake. A theory is defined as:
A hypothesis that has withstood extensive testing by a variety of methods, and in which a higher degree of certainty may be placed. A theory is NEVER a fact, but instead is an attempt to explain one or more facts.

Isaac Newton created laws of motion that were accepted as law (even stronger than a theory) for centuries, but he was eventually proven wrong by Albert Einstein. I believe that evolution is how life came to be as it is, but that doesn't make it true. There are problems with evolution, such as the likelyhood that something as complex as a human brain evolved in only 4 billion years. There are also serious problems with Intelligent design, like why anyone who had a choice would design an asshole like me.

Mostly, though, I'll go with Uncyclopedia's views on the topic:

Many people compare GTA and football to the 'catharsis' model of aggression. This states that if you're really pissed off, you have to vent some of that anger. Maybe it's playing GTA and mentally killing Bill Smith for stealing your lunch money. Maybe it's tackling the opposing team extra hard to get all that emotional energy out. Or, the most popular example, maybe it's hitting each other with foam bats in a therapy session.

The problem is this model is incorrect, even if it is widely popular and thought to be true. Lets look at football. If playing hard was cathartic and made you more calm, then football players would be as calm as buddist monks. Yet on average football players are more likely to commit violent crime. You can look at video game studies, they do in fact convey a rise in violent behavior if the video game is violent. Especially if you get caught at a younger age.

Wow, I can't believe how many things people are constantly willing to throw electro shocks at.

Hmmm, we've tried everything else...well, lets just trying zapping the living crap out of it and see if that helps!

I don't CARE if they never call me again, regardless if I have dealt with them in the past. Thats what the DO NOT CALL list is for! I'm sick of getting up in the early early morning to hear a recording about home loans. My aunt and her kids are all in the hospital after getting hit by a drunk driver this week, and I can't just 'unplug the phone'. I bolt out of bed, thinking she's out of surgery or something and it's someone trying to sell me ticket's to the Policemen's Ball.

Okay - now you have to update it.

Oh man. If Maddox heard about this, he'd be pretty upset.

Oh wait. No, he wouldn't. Because he's a badass pirate, and according to the Uncyclopedia, "it is important to note that pirates will never, ever stop being cool."

Not to be confused with Ninjas, who "just totally flip out and cut people's heads off ALL the time". Ninjas would not make good bloggers, because they would constantly be attacking their monitors because they look like heads.

Although most people consider light to be the fastest thing there is, heavy is indeed faster but it takes longer to get up to speed and has problems turning corners.

Other than not getting the nice feeling of depressing each button, a big touch screen would probabaly be cheaper.

It could be even more modular too. Want a left handed keyboard? No problem! Smaller backspace key? Sure thing! How about a big red 'panic' or 'launch' button off the the side?

Shoot. I might start making it myself. Any takers?

I remember when the internet for me consisted of the Berkeley Mac Users Group (Now PlanetMUG) - a local BBS. People sharing icon collections, sound clips, game demos and postings about how the hell to use RESedit.

Those were the good old days, before spyware and major spam. Back in those days everyone was just trying to help out everyone else. The community the internet once had, which meant general positive regard for most people you met - is no longer.

If you've got a better way to make laws, I'd like to hear it. Will there be a money cap instead, where minors are tried as adults if it breaks XXXX amount of dollars? Then i'm sure you or your ilk will say the same thing about an amount just under the waterline. We both know turning 18 doesn't mean a maturity switch gets flipped, but justice is blind to these things. Heck, I know people who didn't get switched until their 30s, some who got in trouble all the same *after* their 18th.

It inhibits CCR5 interactions. Thats strickly macrophages - open still are CXCR4 interactions (T Helper Cells) and cell-to-cell mediation. Autoimmune reponse still cause the body to kill itself if the virus is present, and there is also the lymph system and the brain (it crosses the blood/brain barrier).

Plus, HIV can lie latent for many years.

It's one nasty virus. This drug does NOT make you immune to HIV.
