This show is a really cool HBO style series that deals with Biotechnology, Bioterrorism and Cloning. Coolest of all is the Extended Reality Online game that runs in tandem with the show.

This is just a blatent plug to get people in the IRC channel - since me, faf, dawid, blike and yt seem to be the only people that use it, I thought I'd at least try and get some of you people on there For those unfamiliar to IRC, it's not that hard really. An IRC network comprises of a number of servers that are linked together. You choose a nickname, and join one or more channels on the network to talk to other people with. There are a few more things than that though. The network we're on at the moment (SorceryNet) runs a nickname and channel management system. Basically, it enables you to register a particular nickname as being used, and register a number of c…

Here's my idea for a perpetual motion machine, I challenge anyone to find a weakness in it. A heavy object such as a bolder is placed on a completely flat surface, the object is then moving a velocity of zero. Without any major disturbance, it's velocity remains the same, perpetual if you will. The object never slows down, and no energy is lost. Edit: it being tottally useless doesn't count against it being a perpetual motion machine.

does anyone have the correct tab for this? and how do you play it like wen slash does the tapping, bends, etc.... i really need to know because i gotta get this down in about a month cus thats wen we do our first gig

That's just disgusting, really.

Here are a few recently published stories about my boss.

Recently I found I couldn't log into my hotmail account because of too many password errors. This lockout ended after a few hours. As I didn't do this, I'm suspecting that someone else was trying to guess mine and tried one too many times. Question: is there anyway I can trace the IP of the offender for this instance, or activate something that will do so in the future? I noted in its password security help screen that MSN hotmail says it "tracks log-in attempts", but I don't know how to get to the information. Any help appreciated!

AN EXCITING breakthrough in aging has just been discovered -- women who go topless live longer! "According to our research, women can add 10, 20, up to 30 years to their lives, depending on how frequently and for what duration of time they uncover their breasts," states Dr. Andrew Mansfield, director of BRIA -- the Breast Research Institute of America. "And the more they display them out in public, the longer they live."... As to why the female life span becomes extended as a result of a woman's going topless, Dr. Mansfield has a theory: "The positive attention topless women get from men is psychologically such a lift that it affects various physical systems withi…

Who know PrimaGames co. and BradyGames co.? Comparing those two book publishers, why Brady has published more guides, more consumers love to buy their books? And why the guides their amount is not as many as Brady? Why I found out many books of Prima are out of order in their site? In your opinion, which of them you like purchase the most? I think Brady has a good quality, but Prima not bad at all.

me and my freinds are makin a rock band and havent come up with a good name for it yet so....got any ideas?

It seems difficult to find research on this topic though I'd expect there to be an endless supply of it. Is there evidence whether activities that give people an outlet to express basic drives reinforce the behavior or prevent them from using more damaging ways to meet the urge? (Examples would be paintballing and video games to channel drives of agression into, pornography, etc.) These activites are just like reenactments that we're deriving the satisfaction from but aren't serving their evolutionary function (ie: going to scary movies to get that fight or flight response we don't get enough of as we're not often chased my predators or overeating). Of course innate drive…

I've been a member for about a month now, and the forum lists me as having posted 56 times. but i am sure i have posted more like 65. it's not a big deal, i'm here to learn not to make myself look smart or anything. but is this just a glitch, or do posts have to be a certain length to be counted, or have moderators/administrators just deleted some of my less intelligent posts? just a little confused.

Hi, I'm new here, just a young female first year student thinking of majoring in science! I love magnets. My fridge is covered in them. I am just really having trouble understanding how they do their thingy, but I think I can learn fast, if someone could explain a bit about them for me. P.S. I'm trying out for the cheerleading team, but I don't really know anyone on campus to hang out with, so making new friends is a priority! Thanks in advance! PM me if you think you can help me with any kind of science! Get outta my way! I saw her first you drooling clowns!...hey! Your not a ...why you dirty old bugger!

Humans have no true purpose. As I watch humans progress through the years, I have realized how utterly pathetic and virutally useless the human race actually is...Some people like to think that the human race will amount to something big one day. It very well might happen, but as of this point in time, it is nothing but a mischiveous race of overgrown monkeys scurrying about blissfully unaware of how pointless it truly is. Eventually, I believe that humans will end up killing each other out. People think that they've done things that will change the universe...heh. Humans have done nothing to make any type of mark on the universe. As for me, I blissfully dream of be…
