    Have anyone ever been convinced by your method?

    Ask a physicist anything. (8)

    Unless you have confirmed any of the information, you're in the clear. It's an old trick to fish for information by baiting with close info, whether it's intentional or not. (As for the screenshots, I'll post as soon as I have a working version again)

    Ask a physicist anything. (8)

    Not really, not that I can identify at least. I'm quite (read entirely) new to actually producing on my own so I don't have any expectations of the work required other than the rough outlining. Very impressive! Feels a bit chapel-like.

    Ask a physicist anything. (8)

    Still working on it, I've improved the structure which holds the information about the branch, but I haven't repaired the collision detection yet, it's proving much harder than I had anticipated. Aside from that, I've actually applied this to an invention contest :P (by advice of my...

    Um ... no.

    My Alcohol Challenge

    To summarize: AV is not literal in his interpretation of KJB. [/thread]

    My Alcohol Challenge

    If you're not being literal, perhaps. Again, if you're not being literal, perhaps.

    I wouldn't know. Not my fault that you're not literal.

    My Alcohol Challenge

    I see no mention of sin. (Also, I noticed that you didn't necro a very old thread this time, I hope you'll keep that standard)

    My Conformity Challenge

    I don't want you to believe anything (not to be confused with "I want you to not believe in anything"). I was merely explaining how that answer was a proper way to answer that question. Binary questions are very easy like that. If you wanted him to expand upon his answer, why not ask for...

    My Conformity Challenge

    It's a valid answer. False or false -> false. Therefore no. I.e. you could see that as no to both embedded questions.

    My meager introduction to the field of mathematics

    I was told you would do fine without me ;) To infinity. And beyond! (Not really beyond, but it's catchy :P )

    What's your favorite equation?

    I'm working on similar things at the moment, partials everywhere *shudder*. Geometrical numerical integration. Not the easiest to do... And who the hell decided that energy and/or momenta are of interest? It's a tad to close to physics for me...

    What's your favorite equation?

    Definitely: I find it entertaining as well, since we most often use integrals without singularities on the line of integration, which removes the second series and the modified principal value (PV*). Also, we rarely use residue calculus for integration over finite distances, which makes this...

    Global Warming & Earth’s Global Temperature Measurement

    :thumbsup: I agree with you that the hard position of downright rejecting a source due to the possibility of funding bias is wrong. But the funding bias does not apply the other way. His standard was, if I understood correctly, a harder version of funding bias, rejecting those whose...

    Global Warming & Earth’s Global Temperature Measurement

    No. To reiterate the progression. sculleywr mention a few sources: You say that they don't count, referencing Where you quoted (albeit linking the wrong post): Had you referenced to them being funded by parties having an (alleged) interest in maintaining that consensus, which you did in...

    Global Warming & Earth’s Global Temperature Measurement

    It has to do with bias. Specifically funding bias: Funding bias - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Do you see how it's a one way 'street'?

    Technology

    This is very much the explanation for the latest development. The printing press was insanely effective when it came to mass communicate ideas and everything after is very much due to that. :thumbsup:

    Technology

    Lying. But to be more detailed, and do correct me if I get something wrong: Slow but steady increase in tool making skills and knowledge. Slow but steady breeding of husbandry animals. Slow but steady breeding/improving of vegetation and landscapes where the roamers returned periodically. =>...

    Global Warming & Earth’s Global Temperature Measurement

    You know what, when you do solve that problem, let the world know. Everyone who has dealt with statistics of any mentionable degree will shove money down your throat to get a glimpse of how you did it. You'd better avoid healthcare, as they base, close to, all of their results on "limited data".
