  1. I seriously hate that about religions.

    I guess thats what drove me away from church, I never used to get how the same peole who come preching love and peice can be SO intorrelent. Its like all they want to say is

     

    God loves you, as long as you come to our church!

     

    I think they should serve alcohol in church, cuz after four or five drinks no one cares which church you go to. :rolleyes:

  2. *I put this in Philosophy, just want to get to know about something in psychology. Can subconscious really control someone? Is hypnosis true because I haven't see any live example.

     

    Dont be too sure of that fact. I'm pretty sure you've witnessed it and more than once. Heck i may be so bold as to say you MAY, note i said may, have been the subject of hypnosis.

     

    The most common type of hypnosis is mass hypnosis where an individual or group of individuals influence the behaviour of crowd using common longings or views. Hitler did this successfuly, even going so far as to convince children to sell out their parents.

    Some religious sects use it, thus explaining fanatical behaviour of their followers. Mob thinking is another area i.e ever wondered how riots get out of control? Normal resonable people just go crazy. Hence the theory:

     

    The combined thinking power of a group is inversely propotional to the number of members in that group

     

    How? Well some use charisma, the ability to empathise with the crowd, other use a combination of music, rythmic beats that speek directly to your subconsious hence you

    Feel move
    by the music or message and you WANT to do something even if its something you would never do normally.

    Hell, there are so many instances in history that i think its defficult NOT to believe.

     

     

    But then again thats just my view.

    There are other view and i may be wrong.

  3. i have some doubts as to wether css qualifies as a programming lang but in my view it is the most universal on the list.

    correct me if i'm wrong but most browsers come supporting it, hence there's no need for extra plugins to get it to work. I dont know about there but around here people are WAY to ignorant, lazy, or scared to get the toppings.

     

    But then again i might be wrong

  4. Here's the question. Does anyone know whether you can install a custom OS on an Ipod. like change the software to something you developed personally i.e no apple software on the interface.

    I have an Ipod nano and am really into tinkering so if it's possible or you've done it before let me know.

     

    PS: i googled, aside from getting a headache from dodging the sites of people trying to sell me something, i got nothing

  5. Ok, Here it is.

    What do you think are the 7 best wonders/programs/hardware developments/etc you name it, any aspect of or related to programming since the cavemen started counting sheep?

     

    Free leeway here guys, you can list ANYTHING related to programming, eg the best software developed.

     

    My list is still compiling but the top two are

     

    1) The Internet

    2) Open Source Idea

  6. it was a 2D buble-dinosor-monster-thing game that i dont even remember the name to. it had seriously TERRIBLE graphics this anoying beep beep beep for sound, and took up an UNGODLY amount of processor speed. it had to be a marvel of bad programming, how could something so small criple my PC (2.6GHz, 524MB).

     

  7. Ok First let me say i've googled this but didn't get anything satisfactory.

     

    I'm a bit isolated from most of the people i meet on the Net but i want to get involved in large scale development project for example like building a seriously huge game or OS or ANYTHING! I just want to program!

     

    Do you guys Know any groups, teams etc that recruit and work mostly online. Cuz as i said, i'm isolated.

    If you dont, anyone interested in starting such a group?

     

    By the way my base language in C/C++, I know Java and am ashamed to admit i'm very good at VB, i barely pass on the Web Dev side of things with scripting language being PHP.

    :unsure:

  8. I'd go for C

    then C++ or Java

     

    I think there's more wiggle room if you start with C. Sure its harder but when you get it down you literaly can move on to anywhere else.

    Beside if you are starting off you probably are also learning the basics of hardware and software, C's low levelnessness <if there is such a word> fits into the bigger picture more easily than other languages.

    :wacko:

     

    But then again i've always loved tinkering with the finer points of anything and everything. I've crashed my computer so many times i've lost count. :D

     

  9. It was a fabulous Movie. top notch i'd give it a 7 out of 10.

    it doesn't deserve the other three points because

     

    1: They killed the dog

    2: They killed him

    3: They never showed that sexy red sports car after the first few scenes.
