| 382721 | 2005-08-22 10:00:00 | We dont ban because people are subscribed to a thread. Personally I couldnt care less how many are subscribed. And, just because somebody unsubscribes (Be it just a poster or the thread starter), doesnt mean the communication stops. Nor does it mean that all communication in a thread is intended directly for the starter. |

| 382722 | 2005-08-22 10:04:00 | Ok then try debating how one would answer on a website what Science magazine considers the top 25 most important issues:- Some interesting question, let's have a go at answering them : > What Is the Universe Made Of? Dust, coagulated dust, anti-matter and lots of empty space. > What is the Biological Basis of Consciousness? Je pense donc je suis > Why Do Humans Have So Few Genes? 20,000 isn't what I would call 'so few' - especially if you look at combinations based on the factorial of 20,000, which gives a number far far greater than Excel can handle (crikey, Excel can't even calculate the factorial of 200!) > To What Extent Are Genetic Variation and Personal Health Linked? Every extent possible. > Can the Laws of Physics Be Unified? Depends, is there an Einstein in the house? > How Much Can Human Life Span Be Extended? Well according to Cher : 'If I could turn back time' then I suppose indefinitely (with a little help from the plastic surgeon) > What Controls Organ Regeneration? [Insert school yard humour here] > How Can a Skin Cell Become a Nerve Cell? Does it really? Oh the nerve of it all...... > How Does a Single Somatic Cell Become a Whole Plant? What's a somate? Is that like "So mate, shall we go to the pub?" or what? > How Does Earth's Interior Work? It's a revolving mass of liquid hot magma. > Are We Alone in the Universe? Nope. > How and Where Did Life on Earth Arise? In the promordiol soup of life with a zap of electricity and a wee dose of radiation. > What Determines Species Diversity? Radiation, adaption and food supply (oh and the daily comic strip). > What Genetic Changes Made Us Uniquely Human? Apart from the opposable thumb? It's all in the head... > How Are Memories Stored and Retrieved? Ah hah! Now you are asking the right sort of question for a PC help forum. Here's a tip : you might want to do that one in its own thread. > How Did Cooperative Behavior Evolve? Just like uncooperative behaviour - v e r y s l o w l y > How Will Big Pictures Emerge from a Sea of Biological Data? What were these scientists smoking when they included this question? Do you think Michelangelo just summonsed his artworks from the sea? But seriously, like all things, v e r y s l o w l y > How Far Can We Push Chemical Self-Assembly? I say all the way - just don't let computers become self-aware (you might want to write that one down). > What Are the Limits of Conventional Computing? Now you're talking - that depends on your graphics card, if you have DDR RAM with a minimum 1GB cache on your processor, or not. Plus heat dissipation of course - does anyone have a really big fan? > Can We Selectively Shut Off Immune Responses? Absolutely - I say shut them all off! I mean, what's the worst that could happen? > Do Deeper Principles Underlie Quantum Uncertainty and Nonlocality? Absolutely not - there is nothing less certain that uncertainty itself, especially if it's Belgian. > Is an Effective HIV Vaccine Feasible? Why? > How Hot Will the Greenhouse World Be? Very very hot. Imagine you are standing on the edge of the world when our Sun goes into supernova in about the year 3.6 trillion Foundation Era. And then multiply that by about a half. > What Can Replace Cheap Oil -- and When? Cheap Oil - there's an oxymoron. Mind power in about the year 7.3 million Foundation Era when our need for bodies is eliminated such thatwe only exist as a stream of conciousness - oh wait, I think we're already there with this thread! > Will Malthus Continue to Be Wrong? Not without GE. We have plenty of food - just not where there are plenty of people. Next question? :D |

| 382724 | 2005-08-22 10:24:00 | Can we count that as four banned or is it just three and a thinly disguised Pctek? :cool: | Scouse (83) | ||
| 382725 | 2005-08-22 10:28:00 | Technically its four UserIDs... we're smashing records here ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 382726 | 2005-08-22 10:43:00 | Actually, ive been looking at Water-Powered cars. Anybody seen water split in to Hydrogen and Oxygen? I used to do it by putting electric current through it, and collecting the hydrogen and oxygen. And blowing it all up :D (in my pyromaniacal 13yo days...). |
