Conspiracy Theory By Aoi Okami It has come to my attention that there is a society out there that not many know about. I do not now know of the name of this society. What I do know is that they control every goverment on the planet. Thus I shall for now call them "the goverment." They do not work alone, and they control nearly everything. They are behind every major event, and nearly every unknown phenomenon. Every sight of a mountain yeti, Lock Ness monster, and cyclops is really just one of their sick experiments either running loose, or in their contained area that a lone hiker accidently walks into to. They have technologies we can barley imagine, and do sick exp…

Heh.....I did it. I got the job I was interviewed for on Monday! I accepted and I start next week straight after my present contract ends. By the way YT, thanks very much for the good luck message I cancelled the other interview and told the PI personally and he was fine.

Well, i am sure everyone in this forum are science enthusiasts that is the reason while you joined this forum. But, i am curious that is there any one out there who idolise Adolf Hitler? Ok, let's put aside all the evil and bad that he did and look at what he bring about. I believe that he was a key player to development in Genome, a slight contibution. It was amazing how Hitler a man so cruel and sadistic also had interest in science. I think he was the man who created Eugenics in the first place. Is it true? And i'm quite sure in the years ahead when scientist and researchers have found about more about Genome. There will undoubtedly be a rise in "Genoism…

I just went to chat and ....I was the only person there! That's never happened to me before) and I can't say I liked it much. A bit creepy if truth be told.

I found this website today and i thought i would share it with all you other science buffs. It looks like it has great potential. http://www.freeinfosociety.com Does anyone else know of good science sites?

Today (yes, Sunday) I had a Calculus II exam. Here's 5 thing I would have enjoyed more than taking that exam: 1) Running full-speed head-first into a brick wall until I passed out.. 2) Being locked in a small room with two-dozen rabid wombats. 3) Repeatedly dropping my soap in a crowded prison shower room. 4) Being repeatedly hit in the head with rocks. 5) Having open heart surgery performed on me while conscious and without any anaesthetic or other pain killers.

anyone play it yet? I haven't seen anything like it. That's not saying much because I have a very old computer and haven't played a multiplayer FPS since Half Life I think. Actually I played Halo briefly but that doesn't count. Anyways I think it's incredibly fun and I'm really addicted to it. It's perfect for multiplayer. It has the type of gameplay where you only have to get hit a couple times in the body to die, and once in the head. You can fire from the hip OR look down your sights which I've always always wanted. Also I've never played a WW2 game online, so killing Germans (or Americans) has never been more fun. Awesome game.

I downloaded a goverment level file encryptor and a paintshop program from a website I came across...They both worked perfectly...The problem is that when I used them, they deleted both wordpad.exe and mspaint.exe...This is not good seeing how I use both those problems consecutivly...I already tried the whole control panel add/remove programs thing, which came to no avail...Does any of thee know of a site I may be able to aquire these programs, or can any of thee e-mail me a copy of each?... Help me all of thee, thee are my only hope...Oh well...

I was wondering what will happen when we as in humans eventually get the technology to transport ourselves efficiently through space which will inevitably happen whether it be 10 or 200 years from now.There is a very high chance that there will be wars over territory,i mean how easy would it be for the US to take over Mars when it obtains the means to do so.I know that there are treaties to stop these kinds of things happening but capitalist greed for resources will allways prevail,all u need to do is look to Iraq to prove this.

This is an actual ebay auction: More degrees than dates" no longer has to be the case! With E-bay anything is possible http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2964366997&category=317

I have 2 interviews lined up....4 days apart. If I get offered the Ist job which sounds very interesting.... if I get offered it can i in all conscience ask them to wait till I've been to the 2nd interview? Which also sounds interesting. I know both of the PI's personally and I have expertise in each field but ....god...I don't know which will be the best bet for future career prospects. I wish someone would just come along and say.."Hey, here's what you should do". If I get offered the 1st job I then have to a) decide if I'm taking it and b) go to the guy offering the 2nd one and tell him that. What's a girl to do??

I watched the film close to a year ago (only seen it once) and too this day i don't have the slightest idea what was going on. All i remember is half way through the film it flipped and went crazy. Any ideas.

Could some one please try to answer my thread it is located at Physics/Astronomical Sciences Modern/Theoretical Physics and its called infrasound I really could do with an answer tonight!!

http://scifi.about.com/library/weekly/aa110303.htm Either way, I am buying the tetralogy. If you include the animatrix... would that make it a triskaidecalogy, or a waste of time? j/k I love the Matrix with all my body.

The forum seem a little quiet today. Someone start a good discussion im getting bored sitting here at work. I love getting paid to chat.

Good movie (not bad, not excellent). Terrible ending to the series, way to many question posed in the original and reloaded were left completely unanswered, and alot of the symbolism was so blatant and repetitive it became irritating. What did everyone else think? Please avoid specifics about the plot until monday so it's not ruined for the people who haven't seen it yet.

I already posted this here but I wanted to know what you guys thought too. When we left the first film, the majority of the human population is locked into a vast system that keeps their bodies alive and their minds active. As far as the occupants of the Matrix are concerned, they are all leading perfectly normal lives. So are they actually losing anything? The machines are not parasitising the humans, as the inference in the film suggests. The relationship is actually a mutualism, a kind of give-give symbiosis. The fact that this has been enforced for the humans is not relevant as it does not affect the trophisms of the system. Had humanity not started…

Everybody at The Presido in San Fransisco on Wednesday 5th November 2003 was witness to what is probably the biggest DVD news to date. Lucasfilms big wigs officially announced that the original Star Wars Trilogy (A New Hope; the Empire Strikes Back; and The Return Of The Jedi) will be making their DVD debut in September 2004. These will not be the 1970's and 1980's originals, but the 1990's Special Editions with a bit more added / cleaned up on top. DVDdebate.com Also on IGN it says Natalie Portman is definitely being added to the original trilogy HAHAhh Lucas suxx BTW im new.. So Holla

I've decided.....I'd like an avatar/icon....whatever the heck they're called.....but I want something unique....how do I do that?

For those of you who aren't British this is not a rude statement!! I'm just annoyed that when I go into the chatroom there are those (no names, no pack drill) who do not respond. I realise I have found my niche....haranguing chatroom types who do not chat!!! What are you doing there? Why enter a chatroom if you don't chat? What are you thinking? What is the meaning of life....OK...I've gone too far but c'mon peeps....a chat room is for chatting surely....and those of you who do the "away" thing should just log off and not be a pain to others. Be warned peeps...I'm most probably going to be unemployed in a week or two so I shall be surfing and insulting more than usual!!

Hi, I'm Francois and I'm a new member! I love science and I attend the Cambridge school.

hey, i need help on stating varibles in "does ice melt faster in air or water?". I'm not sure if this experiment has manipulating and responding variables. if so, can you tell me. thanks.

Im thinking about purchasing one pretty soon...even though they are slow to my current car... i ran a 03 Cobra with full exhaust and blower pulley the other day...he said he was making around 425RWHP...anyways we go from a 60 to 140 punch...had him by about 2 cars...and we went from a stop to like 130 and had a few cars on this guy...he had some DR's too! He said he runs a very low 12@114ish My car - 99 Camaro Z28 3.23 Automatic with a Yank3600 Torque Convertor, 230/227 .591/.571 114 Cam, Port and Polished Heads, Headers and full exhaust and other misc boltons...im dynoing around 397RWHP...and i run a 11.6@119...
