See here http://web3.mychannel.com.tw/channel/class/show_preview.php3/?d=2005-04-30&enname=nikita&t=.htm&fn=main&view=1 A scientist who studies at Massachuset who is also a genetic maniac claimed that the people who live in current life have chance to live up to 1000 years on their life-span. Do you know whom I am referring to? This scientist is 41 old. And he said he found 7 reasons that cause aging. Oh, by the way, he is a British man.

If you have studied many aspects of science, you know, god is not for real.

i always wanted to ask other fellow science enthusiasts. -what is it about science that you love so much? is there a particular reason why you're in science scene? -are there any science-related lingos that you use out of context in everyday language? for example i sometimes use alot of words that came from or most often used in technology sector in my everyday language such as 'buffer'. your own example?

I really support stem-cell research. With the research tremendously and progressively going on, we might find a way to revert human aging. And I don't know why are people against embryonic stem-cell research? That's the only way we can find a youth fountain. By the way, who have been closely contacting stem-cell researching facility? Did you apply to the usage of the nutrition of stem-cell? I heard Russia people are crazily fond of stem-cell cure, right?

Ladbrokes teamed up with New Scientist to set odds on the chances of scientists making one of five remarkable discoveries by 2010. 1) Inteligent life on Titan: 10,000 - 1 I reckon: No way! 2) Higgs Boson: Started at: 6 - 1 Closing at: 2 - 1 I reckon: Worth a try. 3) Fusion Power: (must produce more energy than it consumes) Starting at: 100 - 1 Closing: 20 - 1 I reckon: No way! 4) Origin of Cosmic Rays: (prove where these high-energy particles come from) Starting at: 4 - 1 Closing: 3 - 1 I reckon: Unlikely. 5) Detect Gravitational Waves: Starting at: 500 - 1 Closing: 2 - 1 I reckon: Go for it, most likely. Notice how all but #1 had …

Does anyone know what does the romanised Japansese word "onni" means in the phrase "onii" emans in the phrase "onii-san"? I knows what san means but does onii means brother or is it a name? Thanks

im curious if any of you know where i can get a little box that plays a laugh track when you push a button, or if it even exists. i have this friend who has the dumbest, but most entertaining sense of humor ever. we were sitting at a gas station and my brother pointed to some girls in a car stopped at the light and said "jesse! go hit on em!" and he ran out to the light, and tapped on their window. when they rolled it down he said something along the lines of "you come here often?" so i want to give a him a laugh track either for his 21st birthday (in like a week) or for xmas if i cant get it on time. anyone have any ideas?

i got up in the morning and my mother decided to start my day off by informing me that i get to go crawling around under the house. several rooms smelled like a rotting carcass. after much exploration in the crawl space and a little testing to see when we could and couldnt smell it we decided that the dead thing must be in the heating system. we cant smell it under the house, we cant smell it when we tape off the vents, otherwise it reeks like all hell. so now i have a couple questions. my mother seems inclined to leave our vents taped up and wait for the thing to decompose and pass out of the stink phase of its rotting. i think this is a bad idea for a couple reasons…

Hi there all! Does anyone here use Gmail? Just wondering because I do but I just found something even better - 1000Gb of space free! http://www.mailnation.net/ Its actually true I just signeg up... I'd like to know how they can afford to give all that space for nothign though... Cheers, Ryan Jones

I have seen many here looking for papers or, in general, scientifical documents and informations. A huge amount of full-text high quality free scientific documents can be found in the Open Archives. For exemple, here you can found nearly a million of documents, and share your own within the scientific community: http://www.digitalexandria.com. In there you can also find tools to build institutional OAI archives. But if you browse the web you can find a great number of such sites.

Theoretically, if we beam enough electrons to the moon, we can make the moon accelerating to Earth. The attraction force between the positive charged Earth and the negative charged moon causes the acceleration. As the moon pulled closer, it will circle the Earth faster in smaller orbit. At some point maybe we can make the moon a geostationary satellite, then we can build a moon bridge to the moon. Could someone please calculate this idea, appreciate!

My website is currently a tone of yellow for the background...i am having major diffucties keeping it that way....becouse i normally only like white pages what do you guys think of colored backgrounds? does yellow work for my site? http://www.forum4debate.com is the site....

TerraServer at http://www.terraserver.com is a service that provides online imagery. They are a very popular web site, and they started in 1997. Microsoft opened a web site in 1998 at http://www.terraserverusa.com and it seems to provide a similar service. On this web site, it says: I can't find any information about Microsoft at http://www.terraserver.com. So, isn't Microsoft breaking the copyrights of http://www.terraserver.com by claiming that they own the service?

Hey, i cannot sign up to scientific american but i need an article off there for my physics experiment. I was wondering if anyone would be able to download the article "Parallel Universes" on http://www.sciam.com scientific american. Thanks all heaps, this is only a once off.

http://www.nmfn.com/tnetwork/longevity_game_popup.html This game calculates how long you'll live... It's kinda fun. I'm out at 84...

Where is the forum for this subject? I would really appreciate if we could organize ideas of this field and would appreciate that others be distinguished in this sense. Please do not tell me that it is General Science, because that does not establish it in my mind. Thanks.

I just started watching series 9 of stargate. I live in the UK so the second episode was only broadcast last night on sky one. I've missed quite a few episodes, as I don't watch it as religiously as I used to in the past, however I was quite shocked to see the changes. Nearly half the cast have been replaced. And weirder yet two characters from farscape seem to be in it. Have stargate and farscape merged somehow or is it just coincidence that the producers chose to use two characters from that series?

Well I'm back online. Hurricane Wilma knocked us out early Monday morning. Of all the storms we've had lately, that was the most severe. We had some generator power but no phone so no Internet. Thankfully no serious damage to the house. I spent all day Monday and Tuesday dragging debris out to the street. It's crazy all the stuff we've been having lately. I saw maybe a couple of hurricanes from 1995 (when I moved down here) to 2004, and since then it's just been insane. In fact, we've had three eyes pass within a couple of miles of our house in the past three months. Unbelievable.

Just a couple of links to pics of my White Trumpet pitcher plants that I took earlier in the season. Now all the traps are so stuffed full of dead bugs they're almost falling over, the gluttonous tings. Two pitchers With my hand for scale The pitchers themselves stand about 18" above the soil surface. Exceptional individuals of the species can reach 3 feet tall. Mokele

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any postgrad interactive learning packages are available? Thanks
