  3. Recursive world problem on A Mathematical Answer To the Parallel Universe Question · · Score: 0

    Pfft at Parallel Universe redirect to Many World theory (MWT) or relative state formulation, theory of the universal wave function

    Assume the MWT theory is valid, if possible.

    Question) Is the MWT valid in any of the parallel/many world's. If so then there could be a recursive world problem ?

    One of MWI's strongest advocates is David Deutsch. According to Deutsch the single photon interference pattern observed in the double slit experiment, can be explained by interference of photons in multiple universes. Viewed in this way, the single photon interference experiment is indistinguishable from the multiple photon interference experiment.

    Personally i thought Holly solved this problem back in October 11, 1988 with the Holly Hop Drive (a box with Start and Stop on it)

    The burden of proof lies upon the skeptic to disprove unfalsifiable claims.

    Falsifiability is an important concept in the philosophy of science that amounts to the apparently paradoxical idea that a proposition or theory cannot be scientific if it does not admit consideration of the possibility of its being false.

  8. BBC really are far from independent on BBC Episodes Legally Available Via Peer To Peer · · Score: -1, Troll

    The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) was formed in 1927 by means of a royal charter. (For the history of the BBC before 1927 see British
    Broadcasting Company, and for a complete list of articles see BBC (index).) Today the BBC is the national publicly-funded broadcaster of the United Kingdom.


    OK i live in the UK have done all my life and the "BBC" is the reason i refuse to watch TV.
    The reason is due to the BBC's all encompassing TV License, if you own a TV you must have a (BBC TV license) even if you do not want to watch there television channels, and say only watch ITV CHANNEL4. ... channels that do not receive any TV license funding.

    Why do the BBC receive all the funding from the UK TV License fees in an nut shell (because of a old german woman called the Queen)

    The Royal Charter for the continuance of the BBC, which was accepted by Her Majesty The Queen in Council on 19 July and printed on vellum, has now been sealed and laid in Parliament. The new arrangements will take full effect on 1 January 2007. Until then, certain transitional arrangements will operate and the current Charter will remain in force.

    Are Government Parliament even supports this, suppose it is a cheap price for a propaganda machine.

  13. UN Report ensures proliferation of FUD on UN Report Downgrades Human Impact on Climate · · Score: 0

    FUD, i really do wonder how anyone comes to any conclusion about climate change, especially the United Numnuts.

    Quote [www.telegraph.co.uk]
    "The IPCC report, seen by The Sunday Telegraph, has been handed to the Government for review before publication. It warns that carbon dioxide emissions have risen during the past five years by three per cent, well above the 0.4 per cent a year average of the previous two decades. The authors also state that the climate is almost certain to warm by at least 1.5 C during the next 100 years. Such a rise would be enough to take average summer temperatures in Britain to those seen during the 2003 heatwave, when August temperatures reached a record-breaking 38 C. Unseasonable warmth this year has left many Alpine resorts without snow by the time the ski season started."

    teaching unproven methods that are not in the "curriculum" its just plain irresponsible, he should be suspended pending an investigation.

  17. Window users should exercise extreme caution. on Microsoft Issues Zero-Day Attack Alert For Word · · Score: 0

    There are no pre-patch workarounds available. Microsoft suggests that users "not open or save Word files," even from trusted sources. "As a best practice, users should always exercise extreme caution when opening unsolicited attachments from both known and unknown sources," the company said.

    The MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) has activated its incident response process, which includes coordination with anti-virus and security vendors and the creation of a software update.
    According to the advisory, Microsoft may consider an out-of-cycle patch if necessary.

    At press time on Dec. 5, there were no detection signatures available from anti-virus vendors.

    This is the second major Microsoft Word zero-day attack this year. In May 2006, a sophisticated attack originating from China and Taiwan was detected using a Trojan
    dropper and a backdoor with rootkit features to mask itself from anti-virus scanners.

    There have been several zero-day flaws--and targeted attacks--found in Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher. Many security experts said they believe corporate espionage is the main motive behind the attacks.

    Personally i think they are abusing the law of attraction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_Attraction_(Ne w_Age) to there advantage for better or worse.

  18. Gate Foundation on Gates Foundation To Spend All Its Assets · · Score: 0

    Building such a large foundation is no small task, and it just seems like double standards from Bill.

    Philanthropy is the act of donating money, goods, time, or effort to support a charitable cause, usually over an extended period of time and in regard to a defined objective. In a more fundamental sense, philanthropy may encompass any altruistic activity which is intended to promote good or improve human quality of life. Someone who is well known for practicing philanthropy may sometimes be called a philanthropist.

    Bill is not well known for practicing philanthropy so therefore he is not a philanthropist!

    0) Philanthropy is not always viewed as a universal good. Philanthropy on philosophical grounds, the idea of the weak sponging.
    1) Governments are often supportive of philanthropic efforts. those who donate money to a charity are given a tax break.
    2) Social activists frequently criticize philanthrophic contributions by corporations whom activists consider "suspect". Bill you are most suspect...
