    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.

    The Future of Earth

    What do you think our future holds? As a race, we are changing rapidly now, in the sense that we have much new technology and can do things with information and power that we had no means for before, and these are mostly available to the public, although there are larger and more powerful...

    Evangelical Christians focus on youth for future

    Had to write about an article I found here. This is a problem? Okay by me. You mean they've learned to apply logic and rationality. This is a bad thing? Its relevance being...? How about existing for science and humanity rather than superstition and mythology?

    The future of peer review?

    Peer review - subjecting scientific research to expert scrutiny - is the only acceptable method to adequately judge the rigour and accuracy of the research. Recently, however the approach has come under fire as a series of high-profile scientific misconduct have exposed its many flaws. The...

    The Past Meets the Future

    The Past Meets the Future Recently David Brooks wrote for the New York Times an article labeled “The Past Meets the Future”. This was an imaginary conversation between Mr. Past and Mr. Future. Mr. Past focused upon our failure to understand the past and in so doing we make egregious errors...

    Any party switchers in our future?

    The big political wet dream, that things are so bad with the other party their office-holders start to switch sides, is starting to bubble up in my imagination. Sure the Jim Jeffords switch (R to I, caucusing with D's) didn't unleash a avalanche, but the dissatisfaction with current situation...

    Future Evolution Possible?

    I was just thinking about this. Let's say, for example, you take a particular animal and split the population into three groups and put each group in another part of the world. In one area the trees are high and after thousands of years they evolve longer necks. The second group is in shrub...

    I am the past, present and the future

    when jesus said this. i think he was trying to define an answer to "who am i?" question, for all individuals. more of a philosophical and phsychological discription, put in simple terms for the people of those days. perhaps it is enough for the minds of now days. who am i? 'I' am the Past...

    In the stars, the cards and the grounds -- psychics eye the future

    Prepare to read the least critical, most unskeptical piece of garbage you've ever read. It made me want to puke. http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2005/12/30/WBGHEGC4AD1.DTL That's just a sample. Ugh. This is from a major newspaper too.

    Could this be the undoing of our future?: That technology will be our asset?

    Frankly, it creeps me out that once-were 3rd world-like countries are now doing all the manufacturing tasks that we so invented and performed. And now, we want to sell the world that we are the brains, and they can pay us for our brains, while they slave away and make things for us? Can't you...

    John Titor - Man from the future?

    I caught a few minutes on a radio programme here in the UK about this man who supposedly came back in a `time machine?' from the year 2036, and was born just a few years ago (so he'd be about 6 years old by now!). He warned of a World war (of course) and a civil war in the USA. But now he's...

    The Tierney-Simmons bet on future oil prices

    I'm surprised nobody has posted about this yet and in fact I'm so surprised that I'm guessing there's been a thread about it that I've missed. There has been a public bet made about the average price of a barrell of oil in the year 2010. Matthew Simmons (who has some oil connection but I'm not...

    What does the future hold for humanity?

    What will be the eventual fate of humanity? Naturally, no one can see the future. This is just for kicks, and to see who among us are optimists and pessimists. EDITED TO ADD: There needs to be a time limit so that we don't have to consider a possibly infinite future and try to figure out how...

    What is the future for manufacturing industry in the West?

    Is there a future at all? I'll use my own company as an example. I work in a heavy engineering company in N.Ireland. My company is part of a large group of companies worldwide.

    Fact: people cannot see the future

    I'm starting this thread because of a discussion that seems to be spanning multiple threads. I am of the impression that claims like "reading the future is impossible" and "crops just don't form natural circles" are not facts, and should not be regarded as such. I would think the strongest...
