Hrrmm. According to my python console and this page
2^127 / (.51*10^15 m^2 * 1,000,000 mm^2/m^2)
Or, roughly, the number of usable addresses (estimate) divided by the number of square millimeters on the surface of the planet still yields 3.33*10^17 addresses per square millimeter!
Because as well all know, incorrect spelling means that my points are invalid. Bravo!
Er, that wasn't ad hominem. That was pointing out a spelling mistake.
It's subjunctive. Subjunctive means this. Therefore it cannot mean what you say it means for it is subjunctive.
Close.
It's subjunctive. Subjunctive means this. Therefore, it's possible to discuss something without believing it is true, or that it exists anywhere but the imagination.
What is your point in regards to what I said?
You said:
There is a god. You are discussing it.
Which is false, because of the subjunctive. You can talk about an idea without making it real.
Blue flamingos.
That it's counterfactual to go along with something that you do not beileve to interact with someone under the guise you do for a mutual benefit? That was the basis of the statement you quoted.
You're right. I messed up. I didn't mean to use that quote.:S
I at least see where you are coming from with your attempt to discredit by semantics in regards to subjunctive, but you're going nowhere with counterfactual.
At least add some connectivity to your statements.
Insult.
Unless you were just using the dictionary for fun.
The large problem I have with athiests (of which I am one)
Might help to spell it atheist, but, okay, sure.
If you beileve there is a God, then I must use that as a pretense in which to discuss things. I must accept that what I say will be put through a filter, and thus I will relent to your assertions if only to communicate in a mutually beneficial way.
of, relating to, or constituting a verb form or set of verb forms that represents a denoted act or state not as fact but as contingent or possible or viewed emotionally
What does this mean? Quite simply, it's a what-if thing; saying something that doesn't reflect reality at all, although it could.
There is also the counterfactual, e.g., "What if I hadn't crashed my car two years ago?" deliberately contradicts reality; something that can't be changed.
Also, try on this little bit of logic:
Suppose X. We know Y to be true. If Y is true X cannot be true. Therefore, not-X.
And in none of that did you have to say, "I believe X is true."
According to you, the post is "evolutionary psychology crap." Well, the parent wasn't based on anything remotely resembling evolutionary psychology.
People aren't 'assigned' gender roles. I mean, hell, if people are assigned gender roles, and most of what we are is just impressed on our blank slates by (culture | parents), shouldn't two brothers growing up in the same environment, roughly three years apart, end up virtually the same?
They don't.
Twins (not fraternal, anyway), end up nearly identical.
The breakdown:
50% genes interacting with the environment. The emphasize part is important. The same genes do different things given different input.
Peer groups. Can't remember the percentage, but, children 'find their place' in their peer groups or something. this is a rush job.
Chance.
Parents can't change how their children turn out. Oh, sure, they can fsck up their children with abuse, but you can't make them fscking geniuses by talking at them a lot.
The Blank Slate can do much more than I have here. Then again, I'm trying to distill 500 pages into a/. post.
>Nobody knows where the cosmic egg came from, or how it got there -- it was just there. For some equally inexplicable reason, the cosmic egg exploded.
In the same way:
Nobody knows where God came from, or how He got there -- He was just there. For some equally inexplicable reason, He created the universe.
This is the problem with most creationist's arguments--they can never see that both ones are equally inexplicable. Except one yelled "thou shalt not kill" and was the first to have people violate it.
Of course, God knows the future, so reality is deterministic, but at the same time we have free will. I haven't met any creationist able to step around that.
Has anyone realized that if someone creates a self-replicating nanobot out of readily available materials, the earth would be turned to useless crap in an instant??
Has anyone played the game Homeworld? I've found it very easy to change... The exe looks for information first in folders in the same folder as the exe, then in a compressed file homeworld.big. If you get a special app called...(voice fades out) (people can be heard snoring) (fades back in)...once you have saved the folders, all you have to do is open the.shp files in notepad and change attributes. you can also change the graphics files. This leads to some very interesting modifications (mods) such as the "mod that makes the ships look like ones from B5" and the "mod that makes you puniest fighter shoot ion beams twice its size".
Homeworld has no way to combat this in multiplayer sessions except display "cheat detect" at the top of the screen. I, personally, beefed up my attack two points for most ships. It has no noticable effect on gameplay...(drones on some more)...
I am a geeky guy, and I took an "Advanced Web page design" class. (I didn't expand my knowledge any, but that is another story.)
There was only one girl in the class. Partly because all the chicks at my school are stupid, partly because they don't want to be seen in that class. It is embarrassing (or frustrating for their feeble little minds) for the girls at my school to be in there.
Another point: if someone argues that there are a lot of girl geeks, then why do all those guys have to sit around creating Lara Croft?
Geeky girls, I think, are stuck. They don't want to enter a predominantly male field, or they don't like what other people will think about them.
Oh gee, great. They can now intercept the fact that my website had one hit last week. And I shudder to think what could happen when they read my Wired.com newsletter or my tech support crap.
Do they think they are actually going to get something juicy??
Oh, wait a minute, this is the government we are talking about here. Endless stupidity.
Maybe they'll monitor my underwear drawer next to see if all my breifs are white.

Ouch. Does anybody know the possible number of IPv6 addresses? It looks like I did screw up.
If (, if, if IF ), I've done it right, it's also more than 33 trillion addys per square micrometer of the earth's surface.
Hrrmm. According to my python console and this page
2^127 / (.51*10^15 m^2 * 1,000,000 mm^2/m^2)
Or, roughly, the number of usable addresses (estimate) divided by the number of square millimeters on the surface of the planet still yields 3.33*10^17 addresses per square millimeter!
Anybody care to check my math?
Holy crap, you can establish a network connection to parallel universes?
Sounds useful for quantum computing; just borrow the computing power of an adjacent universe!
More acurately, IPv6 is 128 bits, compared to IPv4's 32. (I'm not gonna calculate the address space, I'd probably screw it up.)
Addresses are in hex.
See the tutorial at.

No, you need not.
Like I mentioned above, there are things like the subjunctive mood; this, I am quoting from The Merriam-Webster Online dictionary:
of, relating to, or constituting a verb form or set of verb forms that represents a denoted act or state not as fact but as contingent or possible or viewed emotionally
What does this mean? Quite simply, it's a what-if thing; saying something that doesn't reflect reality at all, although it could.

Also, try on this little bit of logic:
Suppose X.
We know Y to be true.
If Y is true X cannot be true.
Therefore, not-X.
And in none of that did you have to say, "I believe X is true."
What if I had breasts (as in, mammary glands)?
What if I hadn't dropped the lightbulb?
I suggest you look up words like subjunctive and counterfactual.
I started in Python.
Consider it sheer luck.
It's okay, you can say "fuck" here.
Yeah, I was thinking that too. Try (RI|MP), not [RM][IP]. Fewer characters!
I'm not entirely sure (neewwwwbie) but couldn't you just use PHP's header function to create a fake 404?
No, they're hoping to do that in Mozilla 1.5.
That's why Winamp 2.8x is still available.
I don't want to save it. It sux0rs.
That's the posterior probability. It can't be used to predict what's going to happen, whether it be 1:56.5 or 1:1,000,000.
After all, you don't have to have all seven million tickets purchased for someone to win the lottery; it could be the second ticket sold.
Dammit, you got to the joke before me.
and take a shit. Goes well together.

We should all bend over and kiss our butts goodbye.
