@sid, the bin files are very easy to find. use google!

@memo2006, use the emulator pcsx2, version 0.9 or better. It has a feature that allows it to launch directly. then look for a program called 'daemontools.' it can mount the giant file you downloaded in a fake dvd drive, this will fool the program.

All in all, i advise u to stop wasting your time: ps2 games can nOT be played at full speed. you will only be dissapointed!

buy a ps2 and play. chikeno

everyone's so happy!

see what happens when u relax and ogle fine women?

It is apparent now that we all know far too much for our own good.

I hereby prescribe the ultimate medication: Brain Drain

What do I mean by that? simple. Quit arguing and go drool at some women. Afterall, that IS what we, the almighty males, do best!

why should I convince u?

U will just hate me!

ever convinced a friend not to date a hot babe, for some *practical* reason?

He will slowly find reasons to hate you! even suspect u are banging her yourself!

Bros, if u are so consumed by techno-lust, and u gat the dough, by all means blow it!!!!

we need apple to be in business to keep our own PC prices falling down!

one visit from the broad street obtainers will see to it that 'beter thing' finds its way to its rightfulm owners!



Also by the time the dell is dead and buried I will have another 100x faster laptop!!!! while the mac user sticks to his relic cos he needs to justify his crazy purchase!

Fluffy:
Hey dakmanzero no need to get nasty, please if you must argue do it in a nicer way

Fluffy, xkape has gotten nasty a long time ago. I merely responded in kind.

If you wish to calm things down, begin at the roots.

[Quote]So now I represent the Dark Side of The Force[/Quote]

naaaaah, Darth Nferyn just sounded cooler than Darth Eddy!



besides, the sith usually kick the Jedi's asses anyway! Go sidious! w000t!!!!

xkape, nferyn is right, your argument against evolution  is a strawman.

Misrepresenting it by stating blatant nonsense that you pull right out of your own arse and then knocking your own misrepresentations down to confuse the observing layman.


And if you inexplicably think it is insufficient for me to refer you to 'other people's' books, I am really sorry for anybody who thinks your arguments make any sense. This is because they obviously originated from your imagination, if you have such a distaste for accredited sources.

Hasn't stopped

Just gradual

brain density is increasing, upper body strength is reducing,

kids are maturing earlier ( m sure u noticed )

lol!

return of the Eddy!

okay,

master Eddy vs Darth Nferyn ,    lightsabers ignited!


FIGHT!

yEAH! GO SERGIO!

dats wot ive been saying since!

seperate spiritual and physical!

lets all be happy!

proests on one side, professors on the other!

Read james moore and adrian desmonds' foreword to Charles Darwin's "The Descent Of Man" to find the answers to your questions on how he came about his evidence.

Understand that the theory of Evolution as it exists today has been proven repeatedly by other scientists, and is used to make important Biological deductions today.

It is concievable that some science that has benefited you in this life has as its basis and explanation, the theory of evolution.

The answer to anything in science is simple: read.

On the issue of randomness vs intelligent design, read these books:

CHAOS:making a new science    by james glieck

the blind watchmaker by richard dawkins, available online, ask @nefryn nicely and he'll point you to the site

the selfish gene   by richard dawkins



As a computer scientist I have been interested in nonlinear dynamics since I encountered it in school. There are remarkable patterns to the interaction of forces of nature that can be described only as awe-inspiring. Unfortunately, if taken outside their full context such patterns can be misinterpreted as intelligent design. ID proponents exploit this to mislead people such as yourself, especially if they notice your religious beliefs are giving you problems accepting evolution.


When you read these, you will understand more about how evolution is meant to occur, and what physical forces cause it to occur. It truly is wonderful.

I hope you like maths, though- theres plenty of mathematics involved but not too much.

As a footnote, yes I do believe I was created by GOD. But as I said earlier, the spiritual and the physical must be kept seperate or we risk destroying the credibility of the body of knowledge.

oops, sorry about the gibberish thingy

I must confess, I read the earlier 'AAARGH' thread together with your 3-point rebuttal and I didnt notice the change of tone till I read it again just now

I guess I should be the one apologising, then!

simmy

I respectfully put it to you that it is you who have no idea what ID is.

I much less respectfully declare that you have absolutely no idea what evolution is.

If you wish to contest these points, please do so clearly and intelligently. Spewing random gibberish doesn't help your case.

Also, to clarify, simmy-  as a Biochemist, you of all people should know the difference between a theory and a hypothesis.

And if you truly are a scientist, in the future refrain from making emotionally charged statements that are factually inaccurate and logically inconsistent.

the phrase 'there's absolutely NO evidence to support evolution' directly contradicts 'the theory of evolution  is exactly that, A THEORY!'

if you cannot figure out why, then I will be very interested in knowing who on earth credited you with a degree in science.

dude.

intelligent design is bollocks.

A ridiculous attempt to subvert science with metaphysics

the simple solution is to seperate the physical/scientific from the spiritual

finish

so from a spiritual standpoint, we were created by God in his image, and from a physical standpoint, we evolved from  simpler lifeforms over a great period of time.

trying to fuse the two results in the hideous pseudoscience known as intelligent design.

Please don't allow yourself to be misled. Believing in the theory of evolution does not mean you should ditch your spiritual beliefs. By definition, the spiritual is not to be reasoned out or discussed. It is to be accepted on FAITH.

if ID takes hold it will set a precedent that could open the door for the further subversion and perversion of the body of knowledge untill it becomes just another pack of senseless mumbo jumbo.

I beg of you, erase ID from your mind as fast as you can,   in the long run it will only harm you and others.

Amen ooooooo!

When SS is finally eradicated the world will be a better place, just like it is now that smallpox is gone, at least there's one less killer disease to make us worry for our children!

Nah, the job isnt boring per se, it just makes for boring conversation  . Now when  conversing with fellow bank-IT-people it can actually be very interesting 

fire me a yahoo messenger IM and ill tell u which bank I work for cant reveal it on a public forum, w00t!

thats just it

spend more than 250g on a laptop here and u are seriously in need of help!

NO MEN ALLOWED. we men have NO SAY WHATSOEVER on the subject of abortion. While the foetus is growing inside the woman it is a part of her body and she has the FINAL SAY  as to whether to cut it off or not.  It is HER BODY and we all, including other women, have NO RIGHT to tell her what she can or cannot do with it.

Even if she commits suicide- it is her decision. rant all you want about suicide=hell, its still a personal decision to make.
