I did dual 500-mhz for years, then finally upped it to a single 1.5Ghz chip for certain applications because they were single-threaded.

Now that the Core 2 duos are out (and are a real...

I agree with almost all of that, Fraggle Rocker, however, I have seen a farmer give his sheep dog three commands (IIRC, "Away, Comeby, in"), and over the course of the next 30m minutes, the dog ran...

Much of the information that the brain receives is discarded. However, in times of great stress or excitment, the brain stops throwing out that information - and time seem to slow down. Similarly,...

much of the same stuff that modern medicine explains (though modern medicine describes it in more deterministic detail), along with pain and swelling control through meditation, reflexology, and...

zion: yep, WinFS will be shipped as a free upgrade. and available to XP users as well, from what I've heard. why is it a Vista feature, then?

while the topic appears to specifically be looking at explaining apparent psychic abilities, the answer to the underlying question is a most definate Yes.

While people experience a common reality,...

not as much these days, due to work. I read roughly 1 fantasy/sci fi/horror novel every 5 months I used to read one a week.

My parents encouraged reading.

the official tests I have taken show...

any google video links? I'd be interested in listening to some of the entries.

and what? what is the topic of discussion here?

I feel that chi exists, or at least does a good job describing the physical evidence presented by controlled study of living things.

Some componants of Windows Longhorn were really impressive, and I'd have gladly paid for the hardware to run them.

However, when Longhorn became Vista, and the features list was nearly cut in...

cleanly burn used motor oil....I can't parse this idea.

An interesting bit on the ability of fungi to communicate internally via chemical processes.

if it's fresh water, then he'd gain fluids. Water -> areas of higher salt consentration across a semi-permiable memberane.

Bush was chuckling at the begining, but from what's being said, he was less than pleased by the end. The Mrs simply gave an "unsmiling nod" to Colbert as he left the podium; Bush did shake his...

Grew up on his work, amazing stuff. I miss his style of narration.
Too much "let's recap the whole show so far" after every commercial break these days.

After just recently breaking 6 years of celebacy, I can say from personal exp. that having sex drastically effects your internal energy flow.

Things are more chaotic, and slowing down into a...

BattleStar Galactica

I liked the Stargate movie, but the show is not the best, IMO. It tries hard, I'll give it an A for effort.

to make it clear "mammal" and "virus" are terms people made up to describe sets of things that already existed in the world.

As sOmeguy posted above, our commonly accepted definition of "mammal"...

That is a very good question. Why do we define pain as requiring a nervous system? If conscious awareness requires an electrically-based nervous system, then plants cannot have consciousness, thus...

small claims court, and represent yourself?

Yeah, it sucks, and "the retail outlet we used is in a gray market" doesn't even make sense. Have them put that excuse in writing, and then use it as...

I guess then the next logical question would be:
What allows movement of a body (human or otherwise)? Energy/vibration? And the spirit/soul is the director of that energy?

If "energy by its...

Why?

What is your definition of energy, then?

Ah, now I've got you. I didn't know about that, but it would explain the confusion of some artchetectures' "bit"-ness. "64bit" CPUs with only 48 bit memory addresses, etc.

thanks!

the above images of "overlapping" crosshairs and 'misaligned' shadows have been dealt with hundreds of times over, and are all easily explained by taking a basic photography class at any local...
