Could you post the question again? I don't think 3 times is enough.

Forum changed format
I was gone for some time due to work taking up all my time. Let just say that I've been in the lab til 3 am almost every weekend.
Anyway, what the hell happened to my beloved evcforum and when did the change occur?

Penguins anti-life?
I watched march of the penguins. Remember the part where they try to transfer the egg and fail? The egg freezes and remains there for all of eternity.
There's a limited number of organic molecules on Earth. Almost everything gets recycled. But no, the penguins have to spend energy to produce the eggs and then dump them where it's always cold all the time so that the material is never recycled.
(1) How long will it take for the penguins to take out enough organic material from the echosphere to start impacting the rest of us?
(2) Are they anti-life?
(3) Should we exterminate them to prevent a future disaster?

I have about 300 color images. I want to convert them all to grayscale. Is there a free program that allows me to do this?

Panda, what if I want to use irfanview to change a picture so that if it's slightly white than it turns into completely white and if it's black then it turns into completely black? I painstakingly took pictures of an entire book and now I'm trying to convert it into pdf. How would I go about doing this? I don't expect to have pdf words in the text. But at least if the pages can be completely white rather than slightly tan then I can save a lot of space in the file.

Alcohol and sex?
Not that I'm complaining, but why can't I have sex when I'm drunk?
I've always been glad about this aspect of myself. Can't accidentally get anyone pregnant, my worst fear. Just wondering why I hear it's so easy for other people to have sex and do all kinds of crazy things when they are drunk and it's always the opposite for me.

Is there a word to describe the following relationship between 3 people?
Guy A dates Guy B.
Guy A dates Girl C at the same time.
Guy B and Girl C are fine with Guy A dating both, but B and C are not sleeping together at all.
Is there an english wod that describe this relationship?

What if they get married? Polygamy or polyandre don't really describe it.
