Re: Flat Earth
From the article you linked, it seems like Flat-Earthers end up having to claim massive conspiracies and deny gravitational forces to maintain their beliefs. The article didn't address satellite photography - but I guess that would fall under the 'conspiracy' heading.)
quote:
At the outer edge lies the southern ice, reputed to be a wall 150 feet high; no one has ever crossed it, and therefore what lies beyond is unknown.
Why haven't flat-earthers gone and photographed the edge? And is 150ft really too high to cross?!? I think without testing the shape of the earth: the level of conspiracy required to make people believe a flat earth is spherical is beyond credibility. I am happy with the current lay-man's tests because to disbelieve them means up-rooting too many other established facts (including gravity). If a flat-earther wants to go and photograph the edge of the world, I will be fascinated to see the results.

Re: Computer Help?
Sometimes TOTO your modem can help. Your modem might include some software for monitoring/repairing your broadband connection. Also, I think you can also right-click the icon and select 'Repair'. But, unfortunately, sometimes you just have to TOTO your PC. :S If it is happening regularly, then there could be a problem with your broadband. Ask your IP to check it out. (This is not something I am trained in per se, but it is something I have a much experience of.)

Re: So ...
Nice question!  Any time you want!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Pole#Time Or Midnight
http://www.mirror.co.uk/...at-the-north-pole-115875-17853491 But I am going to peg my choice on:
quote:
The lines of longitude that establish our time zones are so close at the North Pole, the Arctic region uses UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) when local time is necessary at the North Pole.

Taz writes: 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.
It depends...(doesn't it always?). One way to turn off-white into white and dark grey into black is to reduce the colour depth of the images. But this can make the images 'spotty' and remove the anti-aliasing that makes text look smooth. Could you post one of the images and I'll have a look? Edited by Panda, : No reason given.

Re: Bogus or what?
Well, I went and got one of my paintbrushes and stood it up on its bristles. It took a single attempt. It was very easy to achieve. I used neither static electricity nor magic nor ghosts. I do not have a broom to try out.

Re: the flood
foreveryoung writes: Wasn't the earth covered with water at the beginning of the archean? That qualifies as a flood to me. Also, if the preflood earth had no oceans, today's oceans would be prime evidence of such a flood.
Firstly: sure there was a lot of water - but no, not a global flood: there was still land present. Secondly: oceans are not floods. Thirdly: the Archean was over 2,500,000,000 years ago and humans did not exist.

I suspect not. Do a search for "joe_lynch_27" in google for a possible insight into his character...

Re: Usage of affect vs. effect
Coyote writes: Easy way to remember: You affect an effect.
Which is kinda how I used to remember, until I just looked it up and there are noun and verb versions of both words. Theoretically, you can: Affect an effect Effect an affect Affect an affect Effect an effect Why does English have to be so crazy!
