What is the difference between premium gas and regular gas? Better gas mileage, just running cleaner, or just more expensive? Inquiring minds would love to know...

I realised that it's quite fun to beat CTs with their own stupid, rather than make them see reason. http://www.nineeleven.co.uk/board/viewtopic.php?p=19845#19845 ETA: Gagh, my thread title needs to be kung-fu'd back into shape. That's just typical when you make a thread about people being...

I'm pretty sure that the ancients didn't have to worry about the effects of travelling at 500 mph and yet they discovered a cure for jet lag. Simply amazing. http://www.iama.edu/JetLag/JetLag.htm

Can someone explain this to me? Does this mean if Hezbollah shoots 10 rockets into Israel, that the soldiers should only fire 10 back? How do you balance force? And should you if you are at war? Look, if I kept taking a crap in Chuck Norris' front lawn, even after he reported me to the police...

I don't know how I feel about this. I've got nothing against plastic bags but lately, my pantry is full of them and simply cannot find enough uses. The kids refuse to use them as lunch pales. I only use about one a month for car trash. We never use them for gar-bage because they have little...

The .NET discussion was lively enough, so this should get real interesting :) I think we've hit on this here and there elsewhere, so pardon if this is a duplicate, but anyway.... Seems to me for "smaller" and/or simpler stuff, Access is more than enough (note to purist database snobs: stop...

My sister in-law recently showed me a headache medicine she used recently and explained how it worked so well. She is a little leery of taking medicine after her breast cancer experience. So she wanted something safe and what could be safer than a tube of crap that you rub on your forehead...

I've only just really heard of it (it's lurked in the 'no attached concept' drawer of my vocabulary for a while), but recently I've been hearing good things about its discussion groups and filesharing capability (Linux etc.). Also I like new things, and in some sense it seems to be like an...

Now who can resist a comment on that? Let's see if I can remain the only poster.

Those whacky guys at Stormfront... :dl:

There is a religious "cult" group not far from where I live that runs a craft business. Their license only allows them to serve prepackaged food. But they serve opened, cooked food anyway. So yesterday, the OC Health Dept. came in with an inspection warrant. Seven church members resisted and...

Must be time for another gun thread. I can't see that having ready access to guns at a time of civil breakdown has achieved anything positive, but plenty of negatives.

Palestinians Fear Gaza Health Crisis After Israeli Pullout Huh? If you "retain control of" your borders, you are occupying your neighbor? And how, exactly, is this Israel's problem? Here's an idea: Why don't the Palestinians build a hospital or two in Gaza? Rude question: How many of them need...

My mom teaches elementary school. Her district bought 30G iPod Photo's for all the teachers. So my mom asks me, "what am I supposed to do with this?" I explained how mp3s work. She already knows about digital photography. I basically told her that she could think of it as a 30G HD that she...

"Wal-Mart heir John T. Walton, who died in the crash of his experimental, ultralight aircraft, was remembered as a down-to-earth man who threw his considerable financial support behind efforts to educate low-income children..." -- AP obituary.

I have been trying to make some C++ class wrappers for various functions from the Lapack Fortran library, and I am having a problem. The sgeev() and dgeev() functions for computing eigenvalues and eigenvectors of a matrix seem to be giving incorrect results for matrices with both real and...

Just another one of those hot (and sticky) lies we've told our allies . . . ______ US Lied to Britain over Use of Napalm in Iraq War By Colin Brown The Independent UK Friday 17 June 2005 American officials lied to British ministers over the use of "internationally...

Thieves Use Paperwork to Steal Homes Hm, surprising.

Whats the big deal? If someone is vain enough to take drugs to get all big n buff, who are we to stop them. Sure theres that whole danger thing. So what. Plastic surgery and smoking are dangerous. They are still legal.

Vitamins? Vitamins? :o Tom's a Doctor now. :( IMDB

If scientists can prove the evolution is a process that takes place then you can challenge creationists with the question, "why would God interfere when there is already a perfectly good process of creation at his disposal?" They say he gives humans freewill, then perhaps for the same reason...

What is 2d?; a photo? Isn't even a photo made of molecules that are 3d? So is my argument one basically of semantics? You know; where someone says, "You Knowwwwww. Come on. A photo is really 2d. What you are looking at is 2d." Well, if the photo were put under a microscope, it be 3d, wouldn't...

I would be interested to read your explanation of homeopathy and how it works. It appears you have got a little bogged down on the other thread, so please use this new thread to explain your theory of homeopathy. Do not worry about our individual level of academic expertise. Just assume we all...

A Greek football reporter who spends much time in the UK and knows a lot about football there said there are some objections among Irish people about the use of the term. Is there any grain of truth in that ?

Perhaps I may be woefully unknowledgable about medical matters, but I thought that using a defibrillator on someone's who's heart had stopped was the last thing you'd want to do, unless you want to be sure to kill the patient. I thought the defibrillator was used on patients who's hearts were...

Zome tool Hmmm?

I've often heard in science fiction stories, and from psychics that humans use only 10% of our brain. However, when I took Psychology in college, I seem to remember the professor (ironically an expert on memory) telling us that humans use close to 100%. That much of the brain is used to...
