Like many, I use two game controllers, a wheel and a joystick. Both USB devices. I have trouble leaving them both plugged in; the computer will only recognize one at a time. (I'm running XP). What's odd is that it "worked" for a while, without me doing anything. Everything was...

I just got a newsletter from "Vitamin Research Products." (I know. Shut up.) On the back cover, there's an article that makes the following claim: :rolleyes: The researchers had two groups of rats: one exposed to 900 MHz radio waves that received Ginkgo Biloba, and one exposed to 900 MHz...

What makes two different animals two different animals? The concept that two different animals are two different animals because they can't breed with each other has one problem. Two animals that can't breed with each other are not necessarily two different animals. Two male guinea pigs can't...

I need some advice on writing an objection to Quine's first Dogma. The first dogma is which Quine tries to rid the distinction between analytic and synthetic. I'm in the midst of writing my obejction, which (put shortly) he only proves that there is a circular definition of analyticity... If...
