Hi, we are currently developing a new web presence system for used car traders, as what goes on in the industry at the moment is terrible. Its coming to completion and we need a small number of people to field trial it (aka beta users!) and give us some feedback. In exchange you get the system for free, forever. For more information please email us: [email protected]

I have been reading on the latest theory surrounding the big bang, it goes like this: The universe expands as it does now ... until it reaches a point after which it starts to collapse and when that stops it expands again, with a bang! (repeat? indefinitely?) I cant remember the details but this is based on the speed of light not being constant.

It is the case that British youth turn their noses up at jobs on the farms, supermarkets, fast food outlets and other industries which faced with half-arsed natives are employing hard working immigrants, can you blame them? From the bs on this thread one would imagine the immigrants swarm into UK like the plague killing everything in their path and forcing people our of jobs, while its actually British people employing immigrants to do jobs their fellow British dont want to do. I guess some people just want their prices low and their wages high, how does that work?

"we buy any car", whoever made that needs to be taken outside and shot for crimes against humanity and life in general

As with everything being good or bad is relative! One concept to go by is "Karma", whereby if one does things to others in the way he/she would want others to treat them only the good would propagate through society. Its clear this concept works and i try to follow it because if its clear benefits for everyone - i think this strive to propagate good and not to cause grief to others is what makes me good. No one is perfect and I as every one else have bad days and bad moods, but i think as long as the intention to be good is there - you cant go too far wrong!

Case closed

If there really is god, may he strike this post down!

It does not matter ether way really, whatever god was the future is now ours. God and science both teach to be nice to each other and both fail to prevent war and suffering around the world.

God is cool

I ment that calling it god, devil or steve does not change its nature and effect. And it is the effect thats important not the name. If god did exist, but was called tony, would that make anything different? Well people have managed to cooperate enough to send some to space, you can go and check that if you so wish. Yes you, right now, can go and accurately determine if that is the case, yourself, its a fact. Does this mean human cooperation has survived for a long time? People ask for proof of existence of 'god', but to know if god exists you need to know what god is. I have given you the knowledge required to determine proof of 'god' for yourself, and you dont need to read the ancient scrolls to know its ture. Literally right now, you, can go out and prove that all i said was accurate and actively shapes the lives of all involved - this is unlike the omnipotent being which has no basis for existence or proof thereof. Go to a shop, buy yourself a candy bar and as you check out look the concierge in the eyes, smile and say thank you. See what happens when you cooperate, note how you feel, note how the other person appears to feel. I encourage you to repeat that a few times, to determine if the response is accurate and reproducible. You can try acting like a dick to see the other side too, but i hope you dont!

Indeed, a rose by any other name is still a rose Perhaps in the interests of true understanding we should call it something else, its just that its been refereed to as god for so long by so many... care to make up a name?

Let me give you a little mental exercise If you had no way to ask me this and all you could do is observe my actions. Given that my actions reflected the teachings of god and i treated other people well, could you conclusively assert whether i was an atheist or a believer in god? When you have done this i will give you a follow up question to muse about

Why did someone have to make everything? If a tree falls in a forest, did god push it over? My description of god as the concept of human cooperation does not make it an actual embodied being.

The sun pre-dates the wheel and man by unimaginable time scale, yet has the very shape of the wheel... Man created nothing - he saw and copied what was there already.

Do you mean the outer space?

Ah the old subject still lives Well let me add some coal to your fires, yes there is god and...its you, all of you. All that you see around you would not be possible for any one man to achieve, this internet site for example, the computer it runs on, the internet itself, mathematics needed to make it all work, mathematics itself - in fact these very words your reading that let me communicate my thoughts and for you to understand me as you do; none of this would be possible for any one human being to achieve within its lifespan! It takes cooperation and teamwork of billions working for millennia, each one nudging the edge of our collective knowledge of the world just a tad further. This skill of cooperation is in all of us, so the bible describing the concept of god to you is no different than Shakespeare describing love in Romeo and Juliet. In both cases nether God nor Romeo or Juliet have to exist for the concept to ring true, for the story to speak to you. To put into words the feelings and emotions you have already experienced - that is all a book can do. Had people not known 'god' already the bible would make as much sense as to a Neanderthal reading a book on quantum physics written in Klingon. Be nice to one another, because everyone around is a part of you - together you are destined for great things, split apart you will bring terrible evil and suffering. Heaven and hell if you like, just look for them - thoes stories that make you smile and stories that upset you, all happing right now, in our world, to all of us!

Haha that game is so lame! I do think there is abit of role exchange going on between sexes, men are becoming soft and feminine, while women are becoming harsh and masculine. Soon enough women will be getting shot for catcalling men

I am a male, 24 yo I enjoy partying with friends, listening to music (i also DJ at some nights) and dancing about, watching the sunset while the birds are singing or maybe just laying about in the sun. Sometimes i like to pretend im a secret agent and woo strangers with sophistication, other times i like to pretend im a schumacher and drive around the peak district on a sunny day I am 5'10, athletic, blue eyes, dark hair, can build a house/car/turboprop engine and probably explain the theory of relativity haha Would love to meet a woman who likes people, truth and having fun in life If your out there drop me a note x PS. My name is Valentine, im not trying to be cheesy - thats my actual name, im Russian and we don't have the silly cheesy name stigma there!

But if people know alot they might see how %%%% the government is and stop paying taxes, as a great leader of past said - "Give people food and wine, and they will shut the hell up and do as they are told", haha! Yes education is very much key to many modern day problems, great post dude!

So one goes down, creating a gap in the market, which will then be filled by a better and bigger service (and harder to take down). I am pretty sure media companies are fighting a lost cause, its on par with cutting the branch they are sitting on: they dump a share of their profits into closing established tools which in turn accelerates the development of new and better pirating tools! Let them go nuts, it does not look as if any of you scaly dogs are losing out much, especially in the long run

New version of Ubutnu is coming out tomorrow (9.10)

To actually print white ink on black paper you have to options: Silkscreen if its low volume. Lithography press if its high volume. Otherwise you would have to print out a load of black over white paper, which would leave the margins white as well as the other side. Not to mention it will look shocking!

The beauty of linux is that if you want it to be your geek toy - it can! And if you want it to be a rock solid work horse, it can be that too

iM an Apple user, use it to listen to music and draw things in CS.

I do, kilowatt303 - bring it!
