Yeah when I first became a member (more than a year ago!!) there weren't even any mod's, no evil forummers and only a few members a day showed up. Now thousands of people visit this site every day. Niteshdw is an world celebrety and his encodes reach thousands of people. When the site was private for a while I got loads of invite requests from total strangers who knew I was a member. This shows how popular this site is and was. Good job Nite!

In science everything is an theory, there is no such thing as an absolute certainty. Not in science not anywhere. But you can assume that evolution is the most likely candidate. It explains everything and there is litterally tons of evidence, sounds like a darn good theory to me. I will try to explain to you were that bacterium came from. (an bacterium is already pretty advanced) billions of years ago the earth was a pretty crappy planet containing al kinds of molecules drifting around doing nothing. Untill they collide and form bigger molecules, after doing that a few times they can become organic molecules, as proven by the sciencetists A. I. Oparin and J. B. S. Haldane. An collection of those organic molecules (including an lipide mebrane structure) could potentially result in an protobiont. This litle thing/creature has some basic metabolism and some sort of mebrame. Experiments have also shown that this could have happend. Now that we have an spontaneously formed protobiont, we can add to this little fellaw. Eventually he will find replicating molecules like RNA to incorperate in his structure, to be able to reproduce certain information. These strands of RNA will already adapt themselves to their surroundings creating the most efficient piece of RNA. After this the RNA can create basic catalytic aminoacids and after that a few peptides. Including enzymes for replication and enhancements. So after this our litle creature can produce it's own enzymes and peptides. You can understand that this creature has an massive advantage to any other creatures around. This will result in many more of these creatures. Now that the creatures contain RNA and replicates things, they make errors resulting in more diversity. And with the right error another creature is more advanced than the previous. This eventually result in an human, which is just the sum of a lot RNA/DNA errors. (btw DNA is just a more advanced form of RNA) This as basic as I can put it. If you don't understand certain words wikipedia will help you out.

Soon I'll make my thousands post.... (but that won't give me an promotion.... ) Damn, I already have a thousand post..... (this goes faster than I thought....) :)

To all anti-evolution people. I (or my medical-biology book) will now try to explain evolution , hopefuly after reading this you will understand evolution and accept is as the most likely truth. I say most likely because allthough evolution has not yet been proven wrong this can still happen. (but you'll need loads of evidence and an darn good theory) Evolution/natural selection: The history of life, as documented by fossils and other evidence, is a saga of a changing Earth billions of years old, inhabited by an evolving cast of living forms. This evolutionary view of life came into sharp focus in November 1859, when Charles Robert Darwin published one of the most important and controversial books ever written. Entitled On the Origin of Species by Natural Selection, Darwin's book was an immediate bestseller and soon made “Darwinism†almost synonymous with the concept of evolution. The Origin of Species articulated two main points. First, Darwin presented evidence to support his view that contemporary species arose from a succession of ancestors. Darwin called this evolutionary history of species “descent with modification.†It was an insightful phrase, as it captured the duality of life's unity and diversityâ€â€Âunity in the kinship among species that descended from common ancestors; diversity in the modifications that evolved as species branched from their common ancestors. Darwin's second main point was to propose a mechanism for descent with modification. He called this evolutionary mechanism natural selection. Natural Selection: Darwin synthesized his theory of natural selection from observations that by themselves were neither new nor profound. Others had the pieces of the puzzle, but Darwin saw how they fit together. He inferred natural selection by connecting two readily observable features of life: * OBSERVATION: Individual variation . Individuals in a population of any species vary in many heritable traits. * OBSERVATION: Overproduction and competition . A population of any species has the potential to produce far more offspring than will survive to produce offspring of their own. With more individuals than the environment can support, competition is inevitable. * INFERENCE: Unequal reproductive success . From the observable facts of heritable variation and overproduction of offspring, Darwin inferred that individuals are unequal in their likelihood of surviving and reproducing. Those individuals with heritable traits best suited to the local environment will generally produce a disproportionately large number of healthy, fertile offspring. * INFERENCE: Evolutionary adaptation . This unequal reproductive success can adapt a population to its environment. Over the generations, heritable traits that enhance survival and reproductive success tend to increase in frequency among a population's individuals. The population evolves. Darwin called this mechanism of evolutionary adaptation “natural selection†because the natural environment “selects†for the propagation of certain traits. Figure 1 summarizes Darwin's theory of natural selection. The example in Figure 2 illustrates the ability of natural selection to “edit†a population's heritable variations. We see the products of natural selection in the exquisite adaptations of organisms to the special circumstances of their way of life and their environment. Figure 1 Figure 2 So now that you know what evolution is, try tackling it. (that's science, you make a theory and wait untill someone else makes a better one)

Uhm that's distorting the truth.... It happend and must be available to anyone who want's to see brittish people beating up Iraqi's. That's how news works.... If you are deliberately witholding information, you're no better than some dictatorship that only shows propaganda to it's people. This is just an example why Iraqi's are pissed.... And to be honest they have a point.... (allthough killing other people isn't an solution)

Dragged us into their problems???? what do you mean by that... I sincerely hope you are not reverring to WW2... America didn't join that war because of europes demise... Hitler declared war on the US, which was pretty stupid.... I do totally agree with your statement, america should indeed try to become more isolated.

Well his last action did totally cross the line..... He actually made that entire I'm threatend stuff up (!)..... Well that in my opinion is enough to get borg'd. Well now we only have to wait till the next troy/boris comes along. (looking at the pattern this is only gonna take a month or two...)

He's borgified..... But what did he do???? I know he's an pain in the *** but he wasn't as annoying as borisp.

There are certain enlightend country's (the netherlands etc.) where it is legal to dowload everything except software, but illegal to upload this. Here you can't be sued if you have a copy of an movie mp3 or whatever on your harddisk, only when you upload it you can be sued.. (and even that is debatable) So technically leeching is legal here but being a good torrenter isn't, but I'm willing to take that risk..... (hell I doubt if anyone will ever get sued for uploading stuff here... )

True, if Isp's illegalize torrenting, bandwidth above 512 kb/s would serve no purpose meaning no profit.

Well, I hope you know that you have just insulted about 350 million people. omg, on a daily bases ppl say crap about America which is 300, million ppl (rounding up). so go cry, i dont care. Its the truth, and I really dont see how I insulted any one. ppl Call America power hungry, and I will call the EU an empire of lies. Well we base our conclusion on arguments you have not done so, so untill then you are insulting people. And well I was reverrring to letting all us europeans suffer under an dictator (the last one killed 60 million).... That is an insult. The other could be an opinion if you state some arguments.

Are you trying to insult people???? I don't like that tone.... :)lol:)

Wiki says: Russian Inventor Patents Invisibility Cloak On Jan 26 2006, Mosnews reported that a Russian inventor created a real Cloaking Device. It has not yet been confirmed and it is not known if this is a hoax or not. So we really do not know.. But russians are pretty smart, and well they could have doen it.

Well, I hope you know that you have just insulted about 350 million people.

You could get busted for uploading, but downloading is legal here.... So only 50% of my activities are illegal so I have a lot less chance of getting busted than the average world population. And well, I doubt if the long arm of the MPAA reaches to europe....

There are a lot of strange things that happend on that day..... And I doubt the US government has been entirely honest with us. But I really am not sure if they blew their own buildings up. I'm only saying that they could have done it and that there is evidence that they did do something. If the US government did blew up the WTC buildings and it comes out, they are in a lot of trouble.... The US government has thought of it before during the cuban missile crisis. Allthough it is not certain if they actually did it. So they can think of it, they could have done it and strange things happend on that day. It's up to you to draw your conclusions.

Welcome, may many torrents arrive at your computer :)

Cool, france is getting smart. Thank god I don't have to worry about music and movies, those can be pirated (downloaded) legally in the netherlands :).

We don't have jury's here just an all knowing judge, keeps it simple.... Allthough I think jury duty (without the painfull seatings and waiting time) could be very interesting.

Uhm, a year ago I bought an very bad horormovie (scarecrow 17 or something like that) as an present for my younger sister. I have never ever bought an dvd or cd (music) for personal use.

I would oppose, I wouldn't fight for an cause I don't support. And I won't die for people that make bad decisions (the government), I would oppose them and will take every risk of being imprisoned. Viva la Resistance.

Canada has aired season 2, that's why we have it here. They aired it a few months before Scifi did.
