I got that because you told me like 10 times. I don't know how I feel with that. I know that tactic worked on my dog (make him scared so he'll do what I want with commands and such) but countries? I dunno.

See, that quote is more sane than you made it. It just says we won't bring a RPG to a pistol duel. We'll still have the best pistol around, don't worry. Besides, like I told you, IF someone even decides to start something, imagine the chances of you being targeted. They'll go for those city dwellers.

The Lounge / Spanky & Delta: Evolution
« on: Friday, April 09, 2010, 03:36:54 AM »

[00:12] Delta: Well, I still don't believe something as complex as a Human just evolves either :)
[00:13] Spanky: were you born with everything you know now?
[00:13] Delta: No, but the only reason I can know what I know now is because of my ability to think and reason
[00:14] Delta: Which is a God given right :)
[00:14] Delta: That Animals don't have
[00:14] Spanky: :)
[00:14] Delta: And don't even start telling me an animals brain is comparable to a humans
[00:15] Spanky: you learned. knowledge is growing every day and we feed off of that collective pool. many animals are social, just like we are. we've learned and shared over many years. i'm sure you can agree with that?
[00:15] Spanky: at one time we thought flight was impossible yet now it takes place every day
[00:15] Spanky: you agree?
[00:16] Delta: that's not evolution, we always had the capability to understand it
[00:16] Spanky: do you agree?
[00:17] Delta: I do believe in microevolution
[00:17] Spanky: :-I
[00:17] Delta: which I think that falls under
[00:18] Spanky: im gonna do something else
[00:18] Delta: Humans haven't change, their knowledge has expanded yes, but lets delete everything and start over
[00:18] Delta: wouldn't we take the same amount of time to figure it out again?
[00:19] Spanky: yea
[00:19] Delta: it's like working your way up, it takes time
[00:19] Spanky: ok
[00:19] Delta: it's complex
[00:20] Delta: I wish I was more knowledgeable in this area
[00:22] Spanky: there's a species of bird that has a unique mating call which it learns from it's parents. some people took eggs of the bird and hatched them away from the parents. the young didnt know the mating call and when females were brought in, they tried to impress but couldnt, a unusually small percent succeeded. those that did succeed they left with the parents and over the period of 4 or 5 generations the birds mating call (keep in mind they've been in captivity separated from the natural birds) was the same as that of the natural birds. if that's not evoloution... i dont know what is
[00:22] Spanky: thats the same with us really
[00:23] Spanky: knowledge is shared and passed along and in species of ANIMALS that do that, evolution happens faster
[00:23] Spanky: languages have improved, knowledge has improved, skills have improved
[00:24] Spanky: is it hard to say that our bodies improve along with our minds? to become capable of what we want/need to do?
[00:24] Spanky: we look the same as our parents, thats not proof that evolution is non-existant
[00:24] Spanky: if you want to be right, we really aren't animals
[00:25] Spanky: we have no need or drive to evolove when we have everything we need
[00:25] Spanky: there's nothing to improve
[00:26] Delta: yeah, but this isn't evolution in the sense that are physical appearance is changing
[00:26] Delta: Are minds may have always had this capability
[00:26] Spanky: it might be
[00:26] Spanky: our bodies might be changing, who knows
[00:26] Delta: I still have 10 fingers and taos
[00:26] Spanky: how large was the average heart 1000 years ago compared to today?
[00:26] Spanky: what about lung capacity
[00:27] Spanky: we dont know because we couldnt measure
[00:27] Spanky: we dont know how much we've changed, that's not proof that we havent
[00:27] Spanky: even then, 1000 years isnt that long of a time
[00:27] Spanky: i'm sure we're plenty different from adam and eve
[00:27] Delta: are bodies can adapt, that doesn't mean it's evolution
[00:28] Spanky: lol
[00:28] Spanky: that IS evolution
[00:29] Spanky: Adaptation is the evolutionary process whereby an organism becomes better able to live in its habitat or habitats
[00:29] Delta: I wish I knew the difference between micro-evolution and this
[00:29] Delta: Ok, why would an animal need a brain like ours?
[00:29] Delta: if they can make it as is
[00:30] Spanky: exactly, why would it?
[00:30] Delta: right
[00:30] Spanky: i dont get your point
[00:30] Delta: so why do we have one?
[00:30] Spanky: lol sneaky
[00:30] Spanky: why do snakes lay eggs
[00:30] Spanky: i dont know
[00:30] Delta: yeah
[00:30] Spanky: cuz they do
[00:30] Delta: exactly
[00:31] Delta: we are things the way they are?
[00:31] Delta: Random chance
[00:31] Delta: that's the best we can do
[00:31] Spanky: it's not random
[00:31] Delta: that's what evolution is
[00:31] Spanky: it's thousands of years of improvements
[00:31] Spanky: evolution isn't random
[00:32] Delta: I don't get how any of this makes sense
[00:35] Delta:: Why are we the only things on earth that the brain capacity to even talk about this?
[00:35] Delta:: That makes no sense from an evolutionary point of view

lol Dann. You just got too complex. We're not philosophers or anything. I don't really know what you said. Maybe I'll re-read it when I get the time.

« on: Wednesday, April 07, 2010, 23:42:13 PM »
I heard that re-seating and using the same compound will make air bubbles. But hey, if the method works, it works. There's probably several "wrong" ways to do it that are still better than the wax oem stuff :D

Media & Art / Johnny Cash - Ain't No Grave
« on: Wednesday, April 07, 2010, 15:04:42 PM »
First off, you don't have to enjoy the genre in order to appreciate his music. For those that don't know, he passed on September 12, 2003 and up until his death he recorded music. I may be mistaken but I think this is his final recording. This was released recently (February 2010) which is surprising but I guess he recorded so much and they wanted to get it right. Anyway, it's easy to tell that in these later albums of his life he's gotten much more religious. Even though he was pumping out the songs, to me, the quality and soul isn't compromised because of this. The album alone is worth it for the emotions and hearing new releases from an artist that has passed.

Haha, there's really only 2 things I use that salt on a lot and this is one, the other is pork. It just tastes so much better. At least it's good salt.

Hmmm, it's a wonder why someone didn't do that sooner. I don't know why but on older (P4) computers I use a larger dot and spread it a little and then wipe the tool that I used to spread (usually paperboard) on the heatsink and it seems to work. The Dell P4 units don't show a CPU temp in speedfan but loaded down I get plenty of heat out the back so I assume it works. From now on though, dot it is. Although, amount can affect more than application style.

The Lounge / Re: Apple brain washing...
« on: Wednesday, April 07, 2010, 13:24:55 PM »
I guess that would be, to me, the 2nd and last positive thing about Apple. They're so popular that there's an abundance of their items around and generally you can find good cheap used ones or broken ones to repair to new condition.
