[quote]Hello, yet science call them "cosmic hammers" or sometimes 'pulsars' ..this is a scientific jargon not mine! look for more links about this discovery and see how does science portray it!!!! [/quote] Just because they are scientist doesn't mean they have the most imaginative minds. They usually put numbers rather than names to objects. Not very imaginative. Sometimes the first thing that comes to mind tends to be their first choice. As I said, it does not sound like a hammer but

At that point I'll be 60 and ready to finish out my life on permanent vacation.

[quote]What I do find amusing is that a thirty something year old can be so assured of their financial future that they can spout the right wing drivel that you do. However to be able to do so you must already have a fully funded trust fund. How else can you be so assured that you won't end up eating cat food?

[quote]Sorry, all this is blasphemy against Prophets of God![/quote] Hmmm, interesting take, but most people back up their comments with why's. You can't come to a blog, start posting you opinions and beliefs, allow people to comment on them and then scream "this is insulting". Debates are meant to be argued not get upset over. For that matter block the articles from having comments.

001 - What if…? Questions for our resident Democrats and/or Liberals in Democrat JoeUser Forums

I’ll make these questions simple so that there is no confusion here. I’ll be creating individual articles for each question to avoid confusing comments. Hypothetically speaking, say the Democrats were to retain control of both Houses after November 2 2010 and the Republicans were more or less in the same powerless position they are today. Let’s also say that 2 years from now, say today, October 21st 2012 The Obama Administration together with the

Reply to Cosmic hammers (the sounds of Pulsers) in Astronomy JoeUser Forums

Forgive me for knit picking here but to be honest I don't find this sound to be like a hammer. Hammer's make sound due to the way the tool was designed to be used and because of the way the tool was designed to be used the sound that is created is a lot more stronger than the sounds these pulsars are making. If anything it does sound more like a heart or even footsteps but a hammer not so much. Still, very interesting discovery.

[quote]Nah, it was poorly written crap.[/quote] Those are the best ones, written in the heat of the moment, showing the persons feeling as if standing in front of them. As much as I enjoy a well written article that was done in a few days, spellchecked and reread for grammar errors and such, I still think on the spot, heat of the moment, true feelings articles are great because it does what most articles can't do, show the real feelings behind the words. But that's just my take on it.

Are you afraid of being wrong? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

There’s one thing I have noticed quite often in the many years of hanging around Joeuser.com (any the many Stardock sites that get interconnected thru the forums) and that is that there are certain people who will defend their opinions when they post them in articles, even when proved wrong, yet these same people will not dare venture on other peoples opposing views. An example would be the few “Democrat policy favoring” or “attack against Republicans” articles that show up every once in a wh

[quote]No, I believe what I find logical. [/quote] If that were true you would not believe in God as there is no logic in believing something you can not prove exist. Belief in God is based on faith not logic just like it would be illogical to believe you can be cured just by praying, not that it can't happen but it's not logical.

I like this, should make a poster out of it. [quote]Herman Cain was here last week at the tea party rally. All this hype about elections, but the truth is, it won't change anything unless both Houses are won, and it may hurt Republicans in the long run if they just take the House (meaning 2012). If the Reps win the House but not the Senate, then Republicans will be labeled stone-wallers, lovers of grid-lock, etc for the next two years because the Senate will block everythi

[quote]It is not what they can do, but what they can stop from happening.[/quote] Exactly which is why I think not all is lost, but people need to understand that take control away from Democrats and giving it to thr Republicans will not "fix the wound" and "give us a clean bill of health", it will simply "stop the bleeding" till a real "medic" can get here and "save our lives". Till then we will simply be "patched up" by the guys with "emergency kit" in their trunk.

November 2, 2010 – A lose-lose situation for the USA? in US Domestic JoeUser Forums

I’ve been accused many times of being a very negative person, always looking for the downside of things. I can’t deny this but I feel it’s always good to see the pro’s and the cons of ones actions before one takes them so that one is not surprised afterwards. In this case, I feel my negative sense over the upcoming 2010 elections is justified and I believe it should be plainly obvious to many if not all. As many of you know I tend to lean Conservative in my political opinions and more

Wow, these are great. I wish some would make some nice WD skins too. I've seen the RIP 2007 WB but apart from not being able to purchase it (after finding out it was a premium skin) I can't even find it on WC anymore. Those that are in WC for Halloween wither have not been updated for Windows 7 or I can't change things on them such as eliminating the sounds they come with. Oh well, guess I'll wait till Thanksgiving and Christmas to change my desktop skins.

The Apple TV does look interesting, perhaps will consider one next year.

Reply to Your online persona isn’t owned by you in Personal Computing JoeUser Forums

I figure in some cases it has something to do with the fact that because we can't see what others do when speaking (writing), it's hard to see the feeling behind it. Kinda like when one tells a joke and forgets to put the [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] and then some don't get it was meant as a joke. Then they automatically assume you were serious and tag you as a jerk or something. No matter how careful I am people will still see me as something I am not, even when I am myself online.<

[quote]It caused shock waves because her IQ was so low. The difference between 72 and 70 is basically impossible to tell apart using IQ tests as they are unreliable and have a huge history of misapplication. [/quote] If these test are so unreliable, how are we to believe she was 72 then? For all we know she was a 90 or perhaps a 60. In the end they determined a 72 and, by law, it was above 70. Where do we draw the line, as DrGuy put it, when someone is so close to a specific limit? S
