Re: State Surveillance in the Internet
Yeah, I keep on getting these "Warning: Your privacy is being threatened" messages when I switch on my computer. Is this normal? Wouln't be surprised if the university is bugging my computer because everyone here says I am weird and expresses deep concern for my odd socialist tendencies. Words like ...

Re: Enlightened man needs insight from Geniuses
I gather most of you have seen and enjoyed the movie "The Illusionist" lately? Try explaining THOSE TRICKS! And don't rule out hypnosis! Personally, though, I think the lady who cliamed she saw the mentalist was lying. Don't lose sleep over that which you can not be sure of happened.

Re: Enlightened man needs insight from Geniuses
Hi! Cool trick! It could be hypnosis, where the guy has 55 in mind and makes you think it. There was a card trick on bored.com that I actually fell for. In the beginning everyone does...but I figured out that after you chose the card in your mind, the computer spits out a new pack of cards without y...

random: the other day I read about Chinese people who claimed that their chicken, Xiu Xiu, can do basic addition and subtraction sums by nodding its head when it sees the right answer. The Chinese, I have concluded, will do anything for money. This is what you get, people, when capitalism overruns t...

ok cool, just keep in mind that it will indeed probably take long. I was good in algebra, loved log sums, but struggled with the graphs and geometry and trig sucked. I found algebra to be more logical. The visual representations of some graphs were absolutely strange to me. I was not satisfied with ...

I heard you can make fuel from corn ( biofuel ). Ok so maybe that was old news but I only heard about it the other day. I was very excited. Although this means more fuel and less actual food to actually eat? Anyway, governments should pay people to have less kids and encourage propaganda that says y...

Don't you think it is a bit unrealistic to make such an attempt? Maths is not just about learning that A is B and B is C etc... It involves complex abilities to actually picture things in your mind and in many different ways. Some people just picture the graphs and the starting points and logical pr...
Thanks, Katy. I dress pretty badly already, so that's no problem! I am writing pieces of a science fiction novel right now, that gives me some focus. It's a lot of fun. I quite love art as well, I have really cool ideas ( if I may say so myself!! ) but I would need rather a lot of money for the stuf...
I know I have a problem, I just don't know how to make it go away. Concentrate on my work? Probably the best one I can find. The thing is men are always interested and then they run away and it hurts me. I saw that stupid tutor's eyes boggle out when he saw me the first day. I tried to ignore it, bu...

hempel's black raven paradox ( again )
I can't remember if I posted this here before or not, posted different solution on philosophy.com or something a while ago. Hempel's black raven paradox problem: If it follows that from A=B then it should follow that B=A. If all ravens are black then it follows that all non-black things are non- rav...
I will get the pills as soon as possible. what tipped me yesterday, what started me going completely nuts was an insidant in class. After class ended, we were walking out and I was talking to this girl. Then the tutor saw us, and saw that I was talking to the girl, but he started asking her a questi...
thanks dude, good luck to you, too. Well the good thing is that I have embarassed myself at the university to such an extent that I have nothing left to lose and can actually relax. Oh, and I forgot, there was an F) I tried to slash my wrists. The original plan was slash, then jump from tutor's wind...
Thank you sschaula, naturally I would return the friendship, I merely have never seen the point in being mean to people or chasing them away. I was always very chilled out. However, the human realm is not for me. Sadly. I will continue my existence, will try, although today I tried to a) jump from w...
I'm sorry sschaula, and everyone else, but I feel for Cho. I could write you essays on the subject, but it's too hardcore knowledge for even these forums. there are a few people who deserve to be blown to smitherines, and you would see them and talk to them and you would not have a clue about what s...

Just playing. I couldn't sleep... Forgive me. We can only know things if we compare them to their opposites or other things. The only thing that gives anything a significant characteristic is the existence of another thing. Nothing can inherently be valuable or have a characteristic. The only reason...

Just probing... You know what? A lot of men always say that they do not understand women and imply that women are irrational. But who are the ones who can only think about sex the whole time? Take Esoterix for example. A lot of men tend to behave like puppies. It is a strange thing to watch. What ma...

Well when I read that he always wrote a question mark on his papers instead of his name, even I was freaked out. They don't allow us to be creative like that here at our uni. I would go for the four dimensional square to represent me, but clearly Cho had even more identity issues than that. I agree,...

history and computer games
I'm not a big gamer, but I used to like playing games like Quake and Theme Hospital when I was little. I never really liked Sims, it was too much on the ordinary and dreary side for me. I was wondering if people can not make more historical games where you can be historical characters like ones in r...
