I'm writing a story which features various characters of different religions and belief systems. One of them is a Bright, but since not many people know what that is, I need to put in a clarification. Here's what I was thinking of. "...The next person on the list was Kreptic Vonam. He was a...

I've got a fairly powerful desktop back home that's been sitting around doing nothing (haven't had the time and mood to play Civ4, and I don't have any other games for it, yet), and some posts on Good Math, Bad Math and Pharyngula got me to thinking about evolutionary algorithms and the programs...

Hi, I need some help defending the rules of the challenge, big surprise I'm sure. A bit about me: I am a prominent part of a large internet community, whose name I won't mention here only because it's considered "an adult community" and I don't wish to exert that onto people. But it's a...

There's a dice game played in the bars in my area called Horse. Two or more players wager a dollar (could be more, but for our purposes let's use a dollar), and roll 5 dice. The goal is to get the most dice of a kind while getting the highest kind. For example, three threes is not as good as...

I'm debating someone on stem cell use. We're trying to stay away from the moral implications (or we'd never get anywhere), and so his argument is 'we don't neem embryo stem cells since adult stem cells work just fine.' Essentially, he says that they can cure diseases (which embryo cells haven't...

Howdy, So there are about 70 of us going on the cruise. While everyone coming will have plenty of opportunity to meet and greet with the speakers, dinner is complicated. We have five dinners together. Everyone wants to sit with the speakers. We do this often at TAM, and we have the speakers...

Today I received an email from Benny Hinn! Not sure if I am the intended recipient, but I read it anyway. Apparantly Benny needs my help to preach the Gospel there, because "Japan needs the Lord. Japan needs revival. Japan needs to be set on fire with the Holy Ghost's mighty presence." But...

So today I went to church. Well I went to a Buddhist string ceremony at a church. Seems the church in town needs a new roof. So the Buddhist community offered to throw a fundraiser dinner. I'm talking GOOD food, with 100% benefiting the roof fund. The Buddhist community made and donated...

My stats brain has turned out to be more rusty than I thought. I have non-gaussian data. Two groups: treatment X and placebo. Two time points: pre and post treatment. What I need is to test whether X differs from placebo. Please feel free to patronise. My mind has gone blank.

I know this is going to make me appear awefully dense, but here goes. I have no idea how to impliment fonts I've downloaded and saved. It use to be much easier in Windows ME. There was simply an icon in Control Panel called fonts; click on that, save your new font, and that font then would be...

I have an old 286 that runs DOS 3.1. I had an old program that just cleared the screen (green monochrome) and made either a sine wave or randomized wave (looked like a heart monitor) with motion and everything. It wasn't a screen saver but was used as one, just cleared the screen and showed...

Hi All, I see my flat mate paying lots of his Hard earned pay of woowoo crap. It upsets me to think a very intelligent person can do so without real evidence or medical support behind the products. He claims it works for him, so thats great - but i also suspect he's been ripped off - and any...
