code

I've had a hunt around, and either the forum isn't being indexed by Google very well, or nobody has thought of this yet[1]. Anyone remember the geek code? It was popular on the internet in the early mid nineties. It was a way in which you could compress into a small space your entire outlook...

So, I saw this History Channel special last night featuring scientific explainations for ALL of the events that occured in the Bible's Exodus. I found all of the explainations 'plausible', but was left feeling pissed at God. The story teller went through great efforts to note how there was...

http://www.dprins.demon.nl/convergence/9917.html Is this really true, or is it just a matter of the area covering so much of the planet that something would be BOUND to built there? What is your takes on this?

I had spoken a lot with my mother, about how much I really disapproved of Psychics. And my mother at one time in her life believed psychics were real. Which is okay, my father had died and she was alone with 3 kids. I think all she wanted was to know she would be okay, and he were okay. 21...

Anyone see it? I found it fairly interesting, despite the camera man doing his best effort to give me a headache ("edgy" always moving / blurry / bits of face stylee filming :( ). Overall theme was "factual" rather than sceptical I would say, but it did concentrate on the damage being done due...

The book and film of the Da Vinci Code have come in for some, deserved, criticism on these boards. I'd like to play devils advocate by suggesting that their effect on the world has not been completely negative. Firstly, I quite enjoyed the book (haven't seen the film) and thought it was a...

Many theists point to the moral code as an advantage of religion. Some even suggest that we are "Stealing from Churches" if we take advantage of this moral code but don't support religion. But isn't it true that all the moral guidance contained in the Bible, for instance, could easily fit on...

Now, I watched a documentary about the book on BBC4 last night and I learned about the book and they completely debunked the book's supposed facts, while showing that the people who believe the book to be factual, badly misinterpeted the book. Anyway, I believe as long as I don't take it as...

I just saw a blurb on CNN that said the judge who ruled on the Da Vinci Code plagiarism case encoded a message in the transcript of the ruling. From CNN (http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/26/sr.weds/index.html): Here's a link to the document...

Intelligent Design states, in part, that biological structures are so extraordinarily put together that they could only have been designed that way by some intelligence. However, I think at the DNA level this may be a weak argument. I'm struck by the fact that whenever someone discovers a...

Anyone able to expound a little on mathematical constants such as Pi, fractals, Fibonacci Numbers, and Golden Ratios, etc. By chance, I came across an article that the spirals in cone-shells conform to the Golden Mean. A quick glance into this area on the 'net covers everything from...

Cardinal blasts "Da Vinci Code" I especially liked this part:

March 10, 2005 — Imagine if an asteroid plunged into Earth, killing all life in a giant fireball, or hostile aliens from a far-away planet launched an invasion and wiped out all life on our planet? Or what if a mutant, deadly plague spread from person to person and animal to animal and caused...

I'm pretty sure everyone here is aware of the falsehoods in the "Da Vinci Code" by Dan Brown. So why am I posting here in current events? Well... "The Da Vinci Code" continues to be a subject of much discussion in the public, and it was recently announced that it is too be made into a movie by...

here's my latest UFO question from allexperts. It really isn't UFO, I think, but any help in answering this would be very welcome! Thanks --------------------------------------------------------- I was reading through the archives for fun, and was shocked to see that some one else has had...

"Democrats have the popular misconception that somehow the Bush tax cut unfairly benefit the rich." I hear this all the time from the rep talking heads. Is there ANY evidence for this??? Because everything that I find tells me exactly the opposite. From all kinds of sources...

Tom DeLay's Amoral Code What!? Tom DeLay corrupt!? I am shocked, truly shocked!

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20040519/ap_en_ot/books_da_vinci_code Has anyone read this? Is it interesting. He mentions (in the article) the Jesus escaping the resurrection - which is a gnostic theme of Jesus' "twin" being crucified - instead of the spiritual Jesus, who stands...

Should I read it.... should I not...? What's up with it? iI's currently 3rd in the Amazon sales rank, and the recently translated version in Portuguese is selling more than fresh bread in early morning. Murder in a museum? That's very juicy, imho. Has anybody here read it already?

Slashdot reported yesterday that someone has taken portions of the Windows operating system source code and released it on the internet. Of course most responsible system administrators don't trust their windows boxen very far in the first place - not allowing any outside access to the...

It appears that large chunks of the source code for Windows NT and 2000 (and, therefore, also XP that shares a lot of the code) has leaked onto the internet (see story on the BBC for example). Anyone running these OSs should now be even more concerned about security. There are two approaches...

So there jj!

The History Channel just ran (re-ran?) their History's Mysteries piece on the Bible Code. As could be expected, they spent about 2 minutes on the guy who found assassinations "hidden" in Moby Dick and the rest of the show showing people claiming up and down that "the chances against these...
