I want to see any and all websites you created, helped create, or are for organizations you are a part of or contribute to in some way. Post the URLs and what affiliation you have with them. Please, no commercial sites or business sites. University studies and projects would be ideal.

Well! Hello! Just registered. Found this cool place though Yahoo. Was looking for some ideas how to run a science forum, as I started one of my own, just a few days ago! A little about myself: Im a Jr. in Highschool, so its not like Im Eienstein or anything. Im currently taking physics. I plan on majorinf in Bio, then go to med school. Tell me what you think of my forums, nothing compared to here though! Somber Limits

Glider is a wonderful fountain of knowledge; One who always contributes constructively to threads. I appreciate this!

hey, i play paintball, anyone else play any sports around here? :spam: :lame:

Girlfriends come and go, thats no mystery. Sometimes you're compatible sometimes you're not. Is it possible that one time in your life you meet someone that you really connect with immediately? This chick started talking to me while I was waiting for the T after work, and it was really easy to talk to her. Well, she mostly did all the talking. She was pretty too. Too bad im too much of a loser to ask her for a way to get in touch with her again. I really get critical of myself when something like this happens, and I think constantly about the reason she had for talking to me in the first place. Anyways, I'm regretting not saying anything before we parted ways. I won't ev…

I saw this on the PA forums, and just had to post it here for those people that don't visit: http://www.thingsmygirlfriendandihavearguedabout.com/ It's extremely funny and hence it's taken up most of my afternoon. Enjoy

what is the greatest guitar solo of all times? i dont think its the greatest but the one i like the most is in the end of one by metallica when they played at woodstock in 99.

Hacker friend of mine found this. http://beatles.cselt.it/mirrors/jargon/jargon_50.html Go here^. Seems to me many of you will fit the bill, I did.

What is your favorite kind of music?

Just wanted to vent my feelings - no need to respond. I have been travelling a 150 mile round trip daily this week to get going on a side-line project which hopefully will get funding for me to continue in my present line of research. My boss thinks I should be "pushy" with the people in lab I'm visiting but I think that they are doing us the favour and being too pushy could be counter-productive. They are the experts in this technique and I'm being allowed to visit and do some work. Granted, my boss claims that they agreed to help out etc. ages ago but they really have no obligation to do so and I think I have to go at their pace. I basically got carpeted by my boss (who…

me me me me me!! i'll be flying to athens on monday.. via paris.. then i'll catch a train from athens to alexandropoli (around 15 hour trip) ..then i'll catch a boat from alexandropoli to samothraki island.. where i'll spend around 10 days.. doing what? http://www.samothrakidancefestival.com this =)))))) ah.. still a few days to go =)

what are your thoughts on. i'm working on a paper that outlines my thoughts on it. my thought is this: i go to a restaurant and order a meal. i expect to pay for the food but when i recieve the check, i notice an additional charge that is not something that i had agreed to pay. normally this charge is added to account for the tip one would normally leave. why am i being charge this fee? i come to a restaurant to pay for the food and not for the company of a waiter or waitress. traditionally in the US a tip is left for waiters when they provide good service to the customer and attend to their needs. if this is the case, then why am i not tipping my mechanic when he fix…

I am just confused on this altered perception. I cannot possibly come to a conclusion on the explicit nature of this perdiciment.

I've just seen pictures on the TV of thousands of people crouding up the New York streets after a power cut. Whats going on? Why are they all wandering around? The BBC has just got correspondents taking pictures and filling in air time. Not very helpful.

Anyone else around here receive their A-level results? I got 4 A's (maths, further maths, physics and computing) and a B (general studies, which I don't care about since they made me take it), plus a merit in the AEA maths. Off to Warwick in the autumn

I'm not sure where I can post this so here it goes. I've been looking for this for awhile now and unable to find anything on it. Does anyone remember reading about an unknown or undetermined spices found somewhere in Asia that they had to call in other scientists to help find out what it was? It was said to may be a squid. (this is not the one about the colossal squid this one came after) I read it on Yahoo and I think Reuters but cannot find the link anymore.

I have been trying to find good science forums for a long time. These forums here look very promising and I'm glad I stumbled upon this site. On to the intoduction-- I am 17 (18 on Sept 4) years old and I am starting my senior year in high school. I live in Mansfield, Texas, but I grew up in Sandy, Utah. I'm no prodigy in math and science, but I have a deep passion for both. Most of my knowledge comes from books I read. This summer I read books like The Golden Ratio, Cosmos, A Brief History of Nearly Everything, The Elegant Universe, and a few others. I read Discover, and Astronomy magazines. This year in high school I'm taking AP Statistics, anatomy/phy…

Second highest daily post count in ScienceForums history! Topped only on January 23rd, 2003 where we had 317.

No, No, I am not talking about the O'Neil play, but the rather fascinating news the the "Iceman" found in Italy and dated at 5,000 years ago may not have been murdered per se. With Dna showing four different human blood traces, (not his own), the new word is he may have been in a "combat" situation for 24 to 48 hours before his death. Apparently caused by an arrow to the back. There are also defensive wounds on his hands, rib cage, wrists. No one knows for sure, but he took at least two of them out. Actually retrieving the arrow from their bodies to re use again. One theory, it may have been a "boundary" issue with the Iceman and his community.

from the dead? no. dragoon is back and around a bit for all you old schoolers who know me. wanted to say hey and whats up and i like the site!

You are a huge nerd. Cool forums though looks good, keep it going.

I just discovered the goodness that is AvantBrowser. Its free, and its sexy. Its basically a shell for IE that includes all the delights IE does not include. Its free too.

Back to the happy joy-joy banana, stick with the Gaze of Doom, or change to secret option of fantastical mystery and delight. Decide now!
