    When we moved to Xenfora some of the signature options didn't come over. In the old software signatures were limited by a character limit, on Xenfora there are more options and there is a character number and number of lines limit. I've set maximum number of lines to 4 and unlimited characters.

    Another challenge from a homeopath?

    Is there any info about this challenge? It relates to some experiments conducted by Charles Darwin, published in his 1875 book Insectivorous Plants (see Chapter 7 on pp.136-173), that a number of homoeopaths have touted as evidence for homoeopathy. There is no mention of serial dilution or...

    TLC renews 'Long Island Medium' with Theresa Caputo

    The Learning Channel just renewed 'Long Island Medium' with Theresa Caputo. The following is part of an interview where she talks about skeptics. Too bad the interviewer didn't ask, "Where's the proof your psychic?" That seems like a better question than others he asked. Or "Why not take the...

    Why the challenge is illogical.

    I think the challenge for paranormal abilities is illogical. For one thing, the paranormal is akin to dark matter, in that it is obviously something, but it is not explainable yet. In this way it could be said that the people who discovered dark matter, dark energy, black holes and singularities...

    The last serious discourse that I read here wan Pavel's Application. But that is now getting on to years old, and as I understand it, the Challenge was going to go in new directions. There have been no new applicants posted for ages, and there is so little activity on this Forum that is is...

    Cable

    I heard about the "cablechallenge" and was told the challenge also was for other types of cable. Let's say I can hear the difference between a standard $4,- interlink and a more expensive one of $200,- would that count? I was told it would, but I have serious doubts.

    Yet another madman at the pub

    Hi, I had an odd conversation a few weeks ago with a man at a pub in Corvallis, Oregon, who was convinced that James Randi had an ulterior "Christian ministries" motive. He didn't have any references, and I couldn't find a scrap of evidence myself; not even from any conspiracy websites. I...

    Failure to reach an agreement on a protocol.
