They're addicted because they check E-mail 5 times a day? Oh my God! I eat food 5 times a day some times too! I must be addicted to food! And I read more than that! I'm addicted to reading! Not to mention I talk, answer the phone, breathe, move... oh my God! I'm addicted to everything!
Yeah. Homework is for idiots who can't tell the difference between "your" and "you're", or "of" and "off", or "homework" and "homowork". If you're too stupid to learn it the first time, you'll probably never learn it, and then go post on Slashdot and look like an idiot.
Doing homework doesn't keep kids from being idiots. Some people are just stupid.
It doesn't even help grades that much. Your kid could have a 100% homework grade and a 60% on tests (which kids do make) and the latter would count 70% of the total grade. Plus another 20% for projects wich kids screw up because none of them know how to speak in front of a class without sounding like an idiot, then all the homework in the world is going to stop a kid from getting a nice C average, which is as good as passing with most kids these days anyway.
I'm glad to see that scientists are only spending time researching the topics that are really pertinent to our everyday life. I can finally get a good night's sleep again.
And since when do trolls fight in the daylight, hasn't he even _read_ the Hobbit?
HAHAHAHA! I shall now 1-up your Tolkien Nerdity by mocking you for not knowing that there are three distinct strains of Trolls in Middle Earth, and only one variety is succeptible to petrification by sunlight. PWND PWND PWND OMG.
Who said anything about being offended? If somebody makes fun of Linux for being too geeky you may not be offended, but you certainly would think they're stupid, or being a dick, wouldn't you? It's the same for all these jerkoffs constantly bitching about Windows just so they can feel superior.
Judging from the excerpt...on a moniter there both red but they are not the same red. I can gather all I need to about your mental capacity. There's no use trying to trick anybody else.
I read an 11 page brief in 8 minutes, which is actually at a pretty moderate rate. And for the record, 10 arguments is child's play. My favorite strategy is to tack independent voters on to whatever I can. You'd be surprised how easy it is to prove that virtually anything is racist and will destroy the fabric of society unless the judge of that round didn't specifically vote for my team right then.
No, you simpleton, you've observed phenomenon which lead you to the assumption that there is such a frequency of light beyond what you can visibly see. Whooptee doo! That's not seeing a new color your dense cretin. It's the same thing for the issue of four dimensions, what you're saying is not true. In 4-dimensional space 3-dimensional shapes do not just "become thin and flat", they don't fucking change. You change them in your mind beacause the only way to effectively observe 4-dimensions of space is to compress it into 3-dimensions.
You're not picturing a new color by looking at an X-ray machine, you imbecile, you see grey, and white, and whatever color the machine is. Then when they show you a resultant picture you see black, and blue, and white. Where's the "new color" you're picturing? Observing something's effects are not the same as picturing it. Just like condensing an image into a form you can understand is not picturing it.
Now that's silly! That reminds me of a Garfield I saw where he ate an entire cake! No cat could eat that much! He'd get sick! Oh, I wish they'd hire some consultants for that horrible Jim Davis.
The only realy odd part is 3d objects are flat in 4d space so you can stack as many of them as you want in a 4d box. Now the math guy in me goes L,W,B,A,B,C when thinking about a 6d object but I can still take a few 3d objects and stack them like cards in 4d space.
This is not true. In 4d space, 3d objects are still 3d. You're just compressing away extra dimension to see a picture you can actually conceptualize, which is (surprise) a projection of what a 4d object would look like.
As well as you can conceptualize it, it's truly impossible to visualize a 4-dimensional object without compressing it into a 3-dimensional configuration. Doing otherwise would be tantamount to picturing a new color in your mind, that is not made up of any other previous colors.
Yeah, see. An article like that would've been interesting to read. Before, I've often been able to count on HSW for straightforward, informative articles on even controversial or hypothetical topics, from particle physics to vampires.
But this is bullshit. It's a contentless, soft-science fiction half-assed lame pile of crap. Goddamnit, it pisses me off.
> And I also suppose that the "Jar-Jar tongue lollipops" were marketed to 20s-40s people? And the Action Figures? And the card games? And the plastic electronic light sabers?
Complexity has to spring up out of nowhere. The idea of infinite recursion of causality is the only alternative to an abitrary complexity (one created without cause) which is a complexity in itself. Even if the causality of the universe and the meta-universe are infinitely recursive, that still doesn't exclude an abitrary complexity. The universe, nor meta-universe, nor any other itteration of this recursion need not exist, therefore it's existance is equally arbitrary. There's no way of getting around this, some elements of existence have to be arbitrary.
Uh... this is pretty far from a logical proof. Maybe you should look up Proof by Contradiction before you go spouting "Q.E.D."s. If anything, I'd say this is speculation.
Are you sure you're not some competitor to Vex Robotics, and you're trying to give them a bad name? Huh? The tables have turned?! Or maybe I'm working for Vex Robotics, and I don't even know it!

So do your homework, kids.
What kind of retarded blanket statement is that? For the most part, American comedy is complete dreck. You sir, are an idiot.
You know what else you can't predict? When somebody is making a fucking joke. Lighten the hell up.
I can also gather that you have virtually no understanding of the word "context" or anything else you're talking about.

Calculus is also a Latin word meaning "gravel." I don't know about you, but it all makes sense to me!

You've never read X-E have you?
Uh... from what I read, the SA forums may not be the best example here.

Have you seen Tron? Thank God it doesn't look like Tron, I say.
I don't know what to believe anymore!
