God, I'm sickened by the ignornace that plagues these boards. Revisionist history is liberal BS spouted forth with little to no direct evidence and mounds of "theorizing". How come no one has mentioned the Bataan Death March? How come very few have mentioned that throughout the Pacific...

I dont think you read that properly. 1.03 billion = 17% of the world population.

Does it really matter? The way intelligent people view it, laws and rights are all just part of a big contract between people in society to not hurt each other so that we may all lead our individual lives. Leave it at that, and let the topic rest.

You said that you came here when you were 3-4 years old, and that you have 4 little brothers. That means that, AFTER your parents ran into hardship, they KEPT HAVING SEX! What on earth is wrong with them? It's their fault that there were so many hungry mouths to feed. I have absolutely ZERO...

The problem today is people who want results fast but aren't willing to work for it. I bet half of you out there also subscribe (or regularly read) muscle magazines, buy crap loads of supplements, etc. If you want to work out and get really ripped, you gotta accept a few things: 1) it isn't...

UF? One of the top 10 schools in the nation? BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah, they're right behind Princeton :)

<< << The average American is just 30 IQ points from being legally retarded. >> Oh, and peto, do you realize 30 IQ points is huge? An IQ score of 130 is considered average, while 160 is extremely intelligent(some might say genius starts here). [edit]messed up on the quote >> [/i] >>...

<< I like strong, intelligent women. I don't 'date', however :) >> Uhh...why?

Oh boo hoo.

I'm confused as to what you mean by "opening" and "closing" of a circuit. An open circuit doesn't work, because it doesn't conduct electricity. A closed circuit is just a circuit... The simplest computers did this: you could apply a voltage here, and a voltage there, and you'd get a voltage...

It only does that with "cmp" commands or similar commands. The processor doesn't care whether something's a 1 or 0, except in a few cases (such as when dealing with flags, etc). Usually the processor just takes bits in, performs arithmetic, and spits bits out. The processor only determines the...

What do you mean "decides" between a 1 and a 0? When computers do arithmetic, they don't care about 1s or 0s; they apply the same logic.

The Shawshank Redemption is one of my two favorite movies in existence, tied with Fight Club. I'm thinking of adding the Lord of the Rings to it, but I don't feel it's in the same class of movie. The other two were "movies" and though I know they too were once books, I don't feel that I can...

There's nothing wrong with a rift in wages between execs and wage workers; it provides incentive to become an exec and do a good job of it (so your stock shoots through the roof). Simply put, poor people who b!tch about it can suck it. But there is something wrong with government bailouts of...

Ah yes, the joys of being drunkcoming back from a cluib.. YOu can't quite type straight, but damn is it fun. Anyone here from the Florida area? May i strongly frecommend Bar Orlando?! They had lotsfo women dancing up on thebar. It kicked arse. Ok sleeptyime.
