Funnily enough I'm pretty sure I know the person who developed the game (although they didn't design it, just coded it). They're on the nice side of your PETA line, but they are unfortunately blind to the huge flaws that the organisation has (the whole attention-seeking whoring, rather than actually...

That's a hell of a weight difference (just look at the upper arms and butt), but it does indeed appear to be one of my favourite ads, wherein you improve your physical appearance by 'becoming an entirely different person'. Second to this are the ones which look like 'I lost 10kg... and got a nice ha...

Aye, this is very true. C is, for all intents and purposes, completely pointless (sorry Cart :p). The point of the example in the book is in trying to convince someone who is being purposefully argumentative that Z is true, if they accept A and B, hence C being really just a statement of the logic b...

Yeah, I've always enjoyed predicate logic, if only to see the wonderful ways in which it can be distorted and still appear almost reasonable. Well, clearly you can disagree with a or b and disagree with z. You could even (if you were being an arse) agree with a and b and disagree with z, but agreein...

*chuckle* I have faint memories of reading something along those lines during uni. Wonder if it was the same book (gods knows we studied enough Dijkstra that it could have been). And I'm only a masochist when I feel obliged to be, like to prove that I can get through and understand a complex book ev...

Adventures in irritation
So I'm curious... has anyone out there read Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid? I'm trying to make my way through it at the moment (after being handed it by a friend who gave up, claiming his understanding of formal logic wasn't good enough to keep up) and am finding myself yelling at the ...

hehehe, that's beautiful. I'm really looking forward to reading about the results of this. It may not work like they hope, but I think whatever happens will be interesting. And frankly, if the people predicting the end of the world are right, then I will cackle for as many microseconds as I get at w...

Probably only funny to a couple of people here, but to those it is, definitely worth reading.

From the article... Lisa left her "Samantha" ways behind at 19, when she moved to Utah, became a Mormon, married a man within the church and gave birth to two children. For the first year of her marriage, her husband forbade her to watch "Sex and the City" for fear that it would lure her back to her...

FSB doesn't correlate to RAM speed. 800MHz or even 667MHz DDRII will function without a problem.
If you're curious as to what the FSB does, check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Front_side_bus
