  1. How can you become a PK in a p2p mmporg? on P2P Roaming Chat · · Score: 1

    How would one go about that? Could someone clarify?

  2. Great point on P2P Roaming Chat · · Score: 0

    Yea, and not taken over by roving online PK gangs. *lol* I can just imagine guilds being created with the intent of attacking anything that moves or vandalizing online property. Of course Guardian Angel guilds will probably prop up too. Just talking about gets me excited! 5 more years, *sigh*

  3. Everquest x 10 on P2P Roaming Chat · · Score: 1

    In 5 years you're going to have virtual worlds in which you can literally purchase a piece of virtual land and establish a trade, turn the computer off for 6 months, return, and your property will still be there.

  4. Didn't we just have a Global-Cooling period on Carbon Sequestration · · Score: 1

    In the 1970's there was fear of global cooling which leads me to believe that this global warming phase is just a phase in a warming/cooling cycle. Yes, humans might contribute to the warming cycle we're in but not much.

  5. KYOTO protocol on Carbon Sequestration · · Score: 1

    The purpose of the Kyoto protocol, I believe, was to bring the U.S. economy down closer to the level of the European countries. They just might try anything to close the economic gap and Kyoto could have been one of those measures(how many signees have actually ratified the protocol....exactly!)

  6. Re:Lemme get this straight on Carbon Sequestration · · Score: 2, Insightful

    NAFTA is about free trade but not at the expense of our domestic companies. The point of NAFTA is to improve our well-being. NAFTA or no NAFTA our industries should not suffer and measures should be taken to combat sluggish performances.

  7. Why wait years on A "Black Box" For Space Debris? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Just attach microjets to the black box and propel it toward the Earth's atmosphere. that way you won't have to wait for gravity to do its work.

  8. Few other likely candidates than Mercury. on Meteorite from Mercury? · · Score: 1

    Mercury has a fairly large iron core and a very thin layer of crust. The spectroscopy matches Mercury but I'd do more testing(especially ones looking for cosmic rays) before I count out a wayward asteroid.

  9. Experiment control on Contrails Affect Weather · · Score: 1

    What wasn't mentioned was a control. Did they monitor temperatures on another set of days before or after the experiement. I wouldn't be surprised if the temperature fluctuation was naturally occurring (there might have been a 1.2C change between May 13th and today).

  10. The "Martian microbe" should be looked at again on Mini Microbes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A primary argument against the Martian microbe being a lifeform was that it was far smaller than any known microbes here on Earth. Now that what looks to be an EVEN SMALLER microbe has been found the spotlight should be turned back onto the 1996 landmark 'discovery' on the Martian meteorite.

  11. what is the limit? on Turkey Manure Used to Save the Environment · · Score: 1

    What if it is found that skunk scent gland extracts can protect skin from UV rays? Will we lather ourselves in the stuff? I can't imagine the stink of the place...the odor probably sticks to your clothes too.

  12. Virtual-U on Virtual-U (SimUniversity) Now Available · · Score: 1

    Virtual-U = training ground for those aspiring to be University Presidents.

  13. Jack Chick is absolutely right on Hubble Data Says Universe Is 14 Billion Years Old · · Score: 1

    if he is in line with the Word of God. I haven't seen him err from the path. You might have faith in your theories but I have faith that what God says is true. Namely, salvation comes thru Christ Jesus. The C-14,universe's age,limits of universe questions are not what is more important. The most important question is Do you absolutely know that you know where you are going(if anywhere) after you die? Do you think your soul just....ceases to exist??? Don't take a gamble my friends. Jesus(God in the flesh) died on the cross and took on our sins(wages of sin is death((hell)) so that we wouldn't have to go to hell. Heaven is attainable, very much so...but only thru Christ. Being a 'good person' isnt' enough else why would the Lord die on the cross for our sins? It even says : Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. How do i get saved? Romans 10 9That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. 11As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in him will never be put to shame."[1] if you believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sins, realizing that you alone can't be saved, if you do this and confess Him as lord you are saved!! lilmacumd@yahoo.com email me if you'd like

  14. This is still based on faith on Earliest Primate Placed With Dinosaurs · · Score: 1

    This is all based on faith, deep down. Which is the same foundation as believing that God created the world(as He stated in the bible). http://www.geocities.com/lilmacumd/escape.html

  15. All based on faith on Earliest Primate Placed With Dinosaurs · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Deep down this is still based on faith. Same foundation as a God created world(as He has said in the Bible)

  16. Hacking, in this case, has good use but can't igno on On Hacktivism · · Score: 1

    re the bad uses of Hacking. A knife can be used for good(cutting meat) but it can also be used for bad(cutting flesh). Knives shouldn't be banned because the good outweighs the bad but hacking should continue to be illegal.

  17. hey i've got an idea! on New Species of Whale Discovered · · Score: 1

    Let's clone the whale! And perform genetic engineering on the poor creature, i don't know mabye mix it's genes with a killer whale!? this post was sarcastically reflecting the knee jerk reaction many of us now have to cloning/geneticizing anything and everything.

  18. Coyotes and Condors: a solution on Condor Chick Born In Wild · · Score: 1

    In an interesting twist, it seems as if our coyote problem(these creatures are extremely numerous) can help the condors. Instead of culling coyotes and burying them we should instead leave them out in areas where condors are known to frequent to provide ample food for the scavengers.

    (Why does genetic engineering and cloning seem as the answer to our endangered species problems. What does cloning and genetic engineering have to do with anything. The baby was born naturally, without our tampering. That is the way it should be.)

  19. Duh! The title IS "Attack of the Clones" on Star Wars as Pulp Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    George Lucas borrows elements from many sources. WWII aerial fighter footage, religion, mythos, Kurosawa films, pulp fiction, and even his other works. How can anyone say with certainty that Lucas was lying when he says that his main inspiration was Campbell and the mythos of mythology? Just because the films have many resemblances to a certain genre doesn't mean it is homage to that genre.

  20. State of education at Univ of KY on The Periodic Table of Comic Book Elements · · Score: 2, Funny

    LOL Instead of doing research on important groundbreaking issues in Chemistry, the Wildcats of KYU are goofin off with comic books while "experimenting" with the chemicals around the lab. LOL

  21. Last time I checked.... on Little Green Plants on Mars? · · Score: 1

    Chlorophyll wasn't invulnerable to huge lethal curie counts. With the surface radiation as high as it is I find it highly unlikely that ANY life exists on Mars. It would get cooked.

  22. the best managers on Managing Einsteins · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The best managers(especially in this field) are probably those who listen to their employees and actively work with them to find the best solutions. To all managers: stop asking other managers on tips on the most efficient ways of finishing projects...ask your own employees!

  23. I think I'll pass on Blade 2 on Review: Blade II - Electric Boogaloo · · Score: 1

    Something about the satanic connections with vampires, and things of that nature that will keep this guy away from such films.

  24. the New face of NASA on China Launches Third Unmanned Space Capsule · · Score: 1

    In case you all didn't notice NASA is becoming more of an exploration firm with less focus on near earth science and more on the Great Beyond. If our government does decide to increase NASA's budget in response to China then where would the money go? China is advancing in arenas where NASA is shedding and added monies to near Earth programs would be a step back methinks.

  25. Gamecube can do things PS2 and Xbox can't, vice-v on Platform Independent Gaming? · · Score: 1, Informative

    and vice versa. I'm not sure I would want to purchase these games because they couldn't utilize the advantages of each console. What if I like Gamecube because of the way it uses anti-aliasing? Well, the AA capabilities of the PS2 pale in comparison and a universal game would have to accomodate the PS2's weakness. I don't want a game in which I know could only be mediocre(especially if you a Xbox or Gamecube).
