Novel thread. Full of pink and graphs. A bit like communism. Probably.

The bonus bubbles don't make your bubble grow, and give 50ish points each. If you have the patience to wait for the bonus bubbles and avoid everything else, you can keep going forever.

Oh I don't know. Perhaps it was something you said: -

The same thing that gives any and all forum members to post ridiculous posts, from the fatally flawed theory's to the posts with comic intent. You see you are confusing this forum as your own personal platform, and we would all be the worse for it if it were. The community exists to create a free exchange, a debate or a community. I do indeed have a problem with you basing your theory on flawed logic. As I think I've demonstrated, your presented evidence does not hold water. Even common sense would dictate that any number of causes lead to sociopathic behavior. However science does not deal with common sense, it deals in logic. Logic can be demonstrated quite simply: - There are three men on a train traveling to Scotland. The first man is an ecologist, the second man is a logician, the third man is a mathematician. They all see a brown cow on the side of the tracks parallel to the train. The ecologist says, "Look! The cows in Scotland are brown". The logician says, "No no, all we can say is there is at least one brown cow in Scotland". The mathematician says, "You're both wrong. There is at least one cow in Scotland of which one side appears to be brown." This shows us Ecologists aren't really scientists, Logicians don't look at the whole picture, so Mathematicians are the smartest. You see how humor helps you learn? Your theory is flawed because of the method used to create it. That's something thats been pointed out to you before, but you use handwaving to move past it. I'm using humor to bring it back to the fore.

America is a democratic republic, so I'm guessing you mean something else.

I assume it's bordom and consumer culture. "I want a new shirt, my old one bores me"....."oooh, a new branch of GAP".

However, even common sense says that if someone is torturing two people and none of them develops a mental disease, that the environment is not more important. Mind you, even common sense says that if someone is cooking a pie for two people and only one of them develops a mental disease, that the pie is more important. Although, even common sense says that if someone is talking to two people and only one of them is Superman, then Krypton is more important. But, even common sense says that if someone is two people and only one of them is superman, then the pie is evil. I see your logic. You are right, it is Anti-Piesonality Society Disorder. Cripes

Breaking your routine helps. Don't have a cig after a meal, put off having one for 20 min or so. Put your tobacco in one room and sit in another, so if you want a cig you have to expend an effort to go and get one. One of the hardest parts about quitting is getting out of the routine. Nope, they have hand rolled too. In fact, the hand rolling thing comes from the US and cowboy types.

Not everyone is driven to win at all costs, some people just play games for fun.

I have never seen anything like that, and I think it sounds very interesting! Most of the modern devices revolved around an adapted acoustic chamber, but they seem to be about shape and not content. I imagine if you have knocked up a design, and have the helium chamber as a unique selling point (companys hinge investment on that point) then you could sell your concept for a large chuck o' cash.

Shroedingers cat is the usual example given.

You mean poorer.

Oddly, Fox don't own Pop Idol they just broadcast it. Simon Fuller (produced the Spice Girls et al) and Simon Cowell own and distribute the programme, a ABC news report that Simon Cowell is a bad man isn't going to win the pulitzer.

Sorry, I didn't quite catch your drift. Is it something to do with the matrix being made of matter that consisted of plagiarism and excrement?

Well, yes. Electricity cost the most during peak times (7>9 am and 4>6pm) when the demand almost outstrips the capacity to produce. The electricity grid has no capacity to store electricity (apart from two places in America) and can only fluctuate production from power stations a finite amount. The deficit of electricity caused by the load increases needs to be supplemented, and the hydroelectric power stations do this. A hydroelectric plant can go from zero production to full in a matter of seconds, but the cost is that the reservoir of water that powers the turbines can take over a week to replenish. The water is pumped back into place to allow the plant to 'reset', and the electricity company buys approximately the same amount of power it produced but at a lower rate. It's an economic policy, rather than part of the design of a hydroelectric plant.

Hydroelectric power stations harness gravitational energy to produce power.

A giant trebuchet. Fffwhooommmff Surprise's the French all the time.

Pah, I have an Eloi in my shed.

In an attempt to claw this thread back from the verge of the abyss, a news story published today showing the deepest humans have ever gone into the earths crust: - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4472585.stm no morlocks, mind.

Even in bold' date=' they are still the same meanings. You probably are not too aware of this, but the same rule applies almost every contract you will ever sign. It's to prevent employee having intellectual rights to critical systems and processes, not some insidious plot. As to not hiring you to come up with ideas, you have to prove yourself in some way before they let you run around the company trashing systems. Companys are not stupid, they don't hire you based on your CV and hope for the best. Almost every employee thinks they are smarter than the boss, it's just not true. Trust me, the reason they don't promote you over the other candidate is simply because your worse at your job. Car's are worth less because of the associated mechanical problems a car acquires with age and the related cost of repair. Plus, the whole wear of the car diminishes the appearance. On top of that, most new cars are designed to have parts that last for 5 years of consistent use, beyond which major replacements are required. We don't have magical pixie cars that run forever on pixie dust, things just wear out. I assume you mean that a PhD is supposed to be a magical sheild against ignorace, and you have decided to call people feeble if they don't understand algebra. That's real sweet of you. What have you got against education? Hum. The 'market' does not care if you life or die, so long as you consume. Which, obviously, you do.

Ah, sorry, I'd assumed a typo. I had come across rumors of John Paul I getting 'fixed', but I never really got into the details. I was thinking about the storys of John Paul II getting to his ultimate reward a little too quickly, maybe the secrecy in the Vatican is well suited to conjecture.

I knew the Cardinals were uncomfortable with both JohnPaul's longevity and associated mental decline, and they were previously upset by some of his more liberal viewpoint but I don't think they would hasten his death. Always room for intrigue in the Vatican though. I am, actually, rather surprised that Joseph Ratzinger managed to become Pope. I would have considered a condition of the position was that the candidate had not been associated with an Armed force of any kind. It give the press far too much ammunition and could in turn lead to a steeper decline in Catholic faith. On a side note, Pope Benedict XVI is of a more scientific bent and is inclined to continue the Vaticans acceptance of scientific theory over literal interpritation of the Bible.
