"How does that even make sense as a reason for disease to spread"
The argument is that abstinence programs teach "don't do it" instead of "here's how to do it safely". People who break from abstinence programs are less likely to be prepared - less likely to have condoms with them.
Noooo... x64 is to x86 as IA32 (386+ in protected/unreal mode) is to 8086... you get new registers to use on top of the existing ones, which also become wider, and new instructions for dealing with 'em all. IA64 is a completely new architecture, and can only run x86 code with "Large Overhead" by switching into an x86 mode (x64 procs I believe boot 16bit realmode by default, and you can then switch into 32bit protected, or 64bit 'long' mode from there, whereas Itanium boots 64bit thus uses the EFI rather than the old standard BIOS to bootstrap, but not certain on that).
No it's not... there's just so many bits that it appears so. But each receptor site of each neuron is either triggered (gate opened allowing ions to flow in, changing neuron potential) or not (gate closed). The neuron's either reached the potential it needs or it hasn't; it either fires or it doesn't. It's all still ones and zeroes.
In my experience, amphetamines don't so much speed up the thought process, but change the ability to control focus (some people it improves focus, others it does the oposite). In computer terms, it may seem like I'm running a faster processor, but actually I'm disconnecting other running threads, freeing the memory bandwidth they'd be using to be usable by my primary thread (the task at hand).
If that was true, you'd never see GPF's in Win9x, and you wouldn't've been able to run more than one DOS box app. But, Win9x ran in 32bit protected mode with multiple address spaces. What it didn't have was different privileges, so an application could install kernel level code which could access different address spaces, io port ranges, or buggy kernel function that could crash the system.
Ahh, projection, I get it. You know how you've been made to feel by the hurtful words that cut you deep by people who can only feel big by making you feel small. That being about the limit of your social interaction experiences, you're unable to grasp the concept that someone else would actually be amused by the concept that you think you can make them feel "picked on" by a couple of comments on a website where you attempt to patronize. I'm not you; that which hurts your feelings directed my way inspires only pity.
Well that depends on whether you're talking about GDH (gross domestic hatred) or GDH per capita. Per capita, countries you've been at war with more recently probably hate you more, but I guess even if China can muster a small amount of hate per person, that's gonna add up quite a bit more than other countries, even where people have to wake up extra early in the morning just to get all the hating in.
"Also, natural selection merely states that those traits which give a reproductive advantage will spread"
Close. Natural selection is a chance thing rather than a law; a trait that gives an organism an advantage may not get chance to spread because of another event occuring by chance, so I think "will" above should've been "will more likely" (although by context I suspect posters wording rather than understanding was incomplete).
You overestimate the complexity of your point. Just because I was being an analogy-nazi doesn't mean that I didn't understand the point of the analogy, just that while discussion was referencing xyz-nazi's, I would exercise being one. I honestly didn't think it was that subtle. I happened to have been more entertained by the analogy than the underlying debate, so it was the analogy I chose to reply about. Your arrogant reply completely ruined it, shame, your previous post I thought was more intelligent, I am a big fan of self abstraction humour. I'm now more inclined to think it was a fluke.
"if raves arnt doing anything illegal, the government has no right to interfere"
I've never had any problems. Last one I can think of where the police turned up, we were on private property, so they couldn't enter without a warrent anyway. There were a few cars along one edge of the field, and during the day a police helicopter flew over for a bit to get a better view of what was going on... realised it was peaceful, did some mini air acrobatics, and flew off. If any fights kicked off, the police would've been there to break it up, so I actually felt safer.
I know people who have had "problems" with the police at parties, but only when they didn't have permission to be on the land they were on, which I have no sympathy for... if you're on someones land without their permission, they should have the right to get the police to kick you off!
Non-private land, such as in woods out in countryside, I've always found police to be totally reasonable. They turn up to check it out, we say "we'll be packed up and gone by 2pm", then at that time they come back to check we're honouring the agreement (we respectfully have our parties out of the way where the noise isn't going to bother people).
If they start getting too big, sometimes the police will block the roads leading to the party though. I guess there can be health/safety reasons behind this, and it's usually possible to park a little further away and get there on foot.
The laws give the police powers ("police have the power to break up parties of..."). It doesn't say they have to use them ("it is a criminal offence to have parties of...").
I'd go with extra- rather than pre-, as it exists outside of our universe, not really before (as our universe could've existed within the extra-universe since it's own big-bang) and as you can't travel between universes (except perhaps by hawkins radiation?) it doesn't make much sense to say one is before the other.
Whilst you can't travel further north than the north pole, you can travel across dimensions other than the north-south dimension. We may not have any way of travelling outside or even reaching our universe's event horizons, just as a car can only travel two dimensionally across the surface of the planet... doesn't matter how far it drives or in what direction, it's still moving on the surface of the planet, as it can only apply forces in those directions. In a similar (but completely different) kind of way, we can only move around inside our universe as we only know how to apply forces to do that. But that doesn't mean that's all there is.
Good luck learning about the big bang by going back there and having a look around! No, instead, we need to come up with ideas and theories, work out things that would be true/false if those ideas/theories are true, and test them. That means a lot of theory before we can move onto the practical. Yes it's not the prefered science of the impatient, but it's still science, it's still interesting to many, and it's still important to anyone wanting to understand the universe.
Technically, "grammar nazi" and "nazi" are two different terms, mean two different things, and whist the word "nazi" is a sub-part of the term "grammar nazi", doesn't necessarily transfer all meaning of the word "nazi" to the term "grammar nazi". Like how pineapples aren't apples made out of pine (a lesson I learnt the hard way). Not altering the word 'nazi' by use of the prefix word 'grammar' would imply that the word 'grammar' isn't altered either, and so you are describing a person as not only being a member of the nazi party, but also as a set of rules on how word and sentence structure should be formed within a language.

"capable of testing their offspring: guaranteed to be impossible"
What, like 'make bootstrap && make test && make install'?
Joke as you will, but this is actually nearly true; all the caffeine connotations linked to the runtime can't help but make things run faster.

...joke's too subtle for you!
Thankfully, the brain is analog

No you're not, there's no fire or hell, it's all in your head, but you're unable to tell.
"Windows 95/98/ME ran in unprotected memory"
If that was true, you'd never see GPF's in Win9x, and you wouldn't've been able to run more than one DOS box app. But, Win9x ran in 32bit protected mode with multiple address spaces. What it didn't have was different privileges, so an application could install kernel level code which could access different address spaces, io port ranges, or buggy kernel function that could crash the system.
"these psychic scars you let leak out in your comments"
Really? Point one out.

haha how old are you?
What, like when those emails of Florida Republican Foley came out, Fox reported it with a slight twist... they listed him as a democrat?
See 2:26 mins into this clip!
Fox. Biggest propaganda machine ever!

Speak for yourself. I can certainly lift 10 times a spiders weight.

Wow. No. But I see mine went right past you.

Anyone with me?
Did I say that it was? Or did I quote the text above what I said that my point was an expansion of?
The answer, believe it or not, is in my previous post.
"Call me when..."
Why? If you're not interested in the path, why should someone be interested in bringing you to the destination?
