I think we may need some definitions here, and by "we", I mean "I". I just got warned for quoting a word that was deemed profane, however it is not a word that I would normally think of as coarse. It's kind of difficult to guess what will and will not be taken that way - and i had thought...

Just been looking for details of the Kurdish Gassing at Halabja, 1988 and having some trouble. It is commonly used by bush etc as evidence that Saddam gassed "his own" people. a brief google search yielded me a bunch of links saying that the incident is far from clear, and in fact points...

Hi All, I'm doing a project at the moment which requires me to send data from a server application to the client application, but i want to limit the amount of bandwidth (for the client) that this takes up. Does anyone know of any such applications (free) or perhaps a protocol that can do...

Now, perhaps if you are blind, deaf and dumb, you may not have noticed that there is a general tendency on this forum against inflicting religion on other people. I agree with this viewpoint, and we can all see the sense involved in assuming this position. What I want to know is why many of...

I thought I'd try this thread after seeing the recent reaction to Claudio Ranieri trying to get a win at Monaco with a bunch of substitutes which ended up losing them the game. We have seen the result of this idea going bad recently, but I think that a good example of this strategy succeeding...

It is a quite scary problem and i want to know how to fix it. Pretty much when i'm on the net and a phone call comes through to the house phone socket where the modem is plugged in, it causes my computer to freeze. Needless to say, quite distressing. Does anyone have any idea what could...

Just thought i should bring up a thread about the US deliberately targetting the mosque in iraq with missiles and guided bombs. I've included a partial article here (its cut where marked by '...' . You can find the rest of the article from the link at the bottom if you want). The point the...

Don't you just hate how you can't use them on a glossy surface? Our lab tables at uni are glossy and the mouse goes spastic :( They just didn't think about it, did they? I have to use a piece of paper or something to stop it. maybe i should start bringing a mouse pad to school?

As a Follow-up from the Non-Theistic Quiz thread, I am going to set about researching Taoism, which was my #1 result in the quiz. Post here if you know anything about it, or have any nice webpages about it, or if you just want to learn about it like me. I have this page already...

Got an email about the "Stella Awards" probably from this site: http://www.stellaawards.com/ but I am unsure of accuracy. To the best of my knowledge, the following cases are true, so here they are, placegetters at the stella awards! so feel free to add any comments about such lawsuits...

This question always comes to my mind, especially in relation to the war on iraq. Would you break the law, or compromise your morals or principles, if in the end it resulted in your goal? I had always thought that the answer was obvious for me, that the end would never justify such a...

North Korea prove how far they've come in civil freedom, with the government providing a secure private email system! Now, ALL of the computer using public are safe to use email to undermine their government without fear of retribution, because its secure and private :D
