    Hrm. True. I had assumed that you were promoting ID by attacking the SM. Meh.

  2. Re:Interesting... on Creationist Textbook Stickers Declared Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    That's beside the point. Assuming what you say is true, then the scientific method, if it passes that first step, should still be valid. Also, ID should be able to be able to pass this step, as I'm sure the various Churches would be willing to support it.
    The fact, which you so nicely tried to sidestep with your straw man, still remains that ID does not use scientific method.

  3. In other news... on U.S. DOT Launches Laser Illumination Reporting · · Score: 1

    The SlashDOT released a press statement warning of imminent high traffic to US DOT websites.

  4. 24 on Porn Industry Mulls Next Generation-DVD · · Score: 1

    Come on, we really know that they are making 24 titles a year.

  5. Re:P != NP on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    Hrm. I should have said P = 0 AND N = anything
    OR N = 1 and P = anything

  6. Re:From the archives of Interplay on Interplay Forced to Liquidate (France) · · Score: 1

    Soulbringer. It was a very odd game with a clunky interface that took some getting used to... But once you did, it was qutie fun with an intruiging plot, combat and magic system.

  7. Re:P != NP on What Do You Believe Even If You Can't Prove It? · · Score: 1

    Yes:
    P = NP => P - NP = 0
    P(1-N) = 0
    Therefore P = 0 or N = 1

  8. Re:Submitter was Wrong on The Coming Atlantic Mega-Tsunami · · Score: 1

    Actually, the article denies that it will hit tomorrow, and then says that it will hit any time in the next few thousand years. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "tomorrow" a subset of "the next few thousand years"?

  9. You educated stupid on Usenet Psychic Wars With Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Does Sollog's style not remind you of Gene Ray (http://www.timecube.com/)?
    For example, Sollog seems to like using RANDOM captilized words to EMPHASISE certain things. Gene Ray has lots of underlining and colour-usage reminsicent of some kid's personal webpage back in 1998.

    Meh, I don't know... Maybe I'm crazy. Probably less so than those two, however.

    Hrm. Yeah. I didn't notice that one. Wow. I'm never doing math when I'm tired again. ;)

  15. Augh, I'm a tool on Justice Dept. Raids Homes of File Swappers · · Score: 1

    I don't deserve to be alive. I say that 1MB = 10^6 at the beginning of my post. However, at the end, I essentially claim that 1MB = 10^9.

    You missed the point of the grandparent: How do we know if they are dumb?

    Actually, Acton (a small town at the very North West of Halton) doesn't. Being on top of the Niagra Escarpment makes getting water from Lake Ontario rather difficult.

    I didn't go to class for CS134, and didn't study for the final. Went in with an 84, came out with a 72. That sucked. Haven't missed much class since that. ;)

    Do these amazons get stalked by assassins using claws? Are the amazons able to summon shining warrior spirits to use as tanks? Do they have heat-seaking arrows?

  23. Perpetual Motion Machine on Living Without a Pulse · · Score: 1

    No friction, eh? I guess, then, they only need to give the impeller a push and it'll keep going for ever. Mind you,the impeller is coming into contact with the blood, so I think their would be at least some friction, which means that the blades should eventually wear down... A long time from now.

    Perhaps because they are against copyright violations, but not against fair use. They probably think that this bill is wrong. Heck, wasn't Betamax Sony's technology?

    How was this offtopic? I was suggesting a name for the "revised" version of CAPPS II. It may have been a lame attempt at a joke, but it still applied to the article. (Maybe I should have explained myself a bit better in the parent).
