    Survey: Atheists, agnostics most knowledgeable about religion than religious people

    Not quite, Commandment 6 is there is no... Commandment 6 Commandment 7: no poofters. Oh, and atheist with 12/15. Mostly because I didn't think the catholics took communion so literally. Also I have no freaking idea who that mormon guy was.

    At a graduate level I would imagine that the courses I've been doing are so targeted at physics that it might make a transfer as it were a bit difficult. It's definitely something I should look into all the same. My current plan is to take a break from University next year once this is all over...

    Outright hatred was probably the wrong word to use. Sick to death is probably a bit more apt. Fortunately, if and when I finish this honours course I should have the qualifications required to do something other than just research projects, which is something I have always been pretty terrible...

    The questions that leave the converation meaningful are hard for me to find without a good deal of thought, something that takes too long for a good conversation. Going meta if you will, if this were a conversation, even with the time this has taken to type I still haven't found a good question...

    Glad to hear I'm not alone :P Though with you having the possibility of doing military service, I get the feeling you might be in a bit of a worse boat than I am. That's pretty much my strategy. It works o.k. with people who like to talk, but there'll be dead silence if I can't think of...

    U of Texas shooting in progress

    A senseless waste no matter the way this may continue to play out. Let's hope it doesn't escalate further.

    Hoo boy. Some of you may know me, to be honest I'm not that noticeable. That is one of many problems I have. I'm 22 years old, and I guarantee most people on this board have lived more than me. My life has almost become completely defined by my education, and what's worse is that's what I've...

    I was 18, though I lurked for about a year before then. In that time I have: - Graduated high school - Nearly got a physics degree. FML.

    Post Your Computer Desk

    Desk from a school garage sale - used to be a primary school teacher's I assume. Hook that's holding up headphones is $2 from Bunnings, I highly recommend it. Also, the flash from the camera makes everything look a lot whiter than it should.

    2010 Aussie Rules Grand Finals ends, with a draw?

    Wait wait wait... it was grand final day? I am going to take pride in the fact I am the only Australian who didn't know.

    Look around you. Just look around you. Have you worked out what we're looking for? Correct! The answer is... the Sun.

    John Locke/Ben Linus new tv show.

    All my instincts suggests that this will be a below average show that will be promptly cancelled. But **** instincts, it's friggin' Locke and Ben! Can't wait.

    Chuck - The Best Show You Never Watched

    Was introduced to Chuck, and was then introduced to Jake 2.0 in order to find out that they are in fact the same show. Frankly, I prefer the latter, and it's pretty much Jayne Cobb that closes the gap between them. Nothing spectacular, and I can think of quite a few shows that deserve more...

    Parallel Lines - I'm an idiot.

    A line can't have a discontinuity. So you have 3 lines, and they're parallel. At best, you have 2 lines, one with discontinuities, and they're mostly parallel except for the small perpendicular segment connecting the two pieces.

    PC Gamer Interview with Gabe Newell

    It's a good quote, but the problem is you can't take the Fourier transform of people's opinions. You have to be prepared to deal with all the noise, so it's understandable when some game companies tune out to some extent.

    Mass Effect 2

    Wow, the new DLC is actually pretty good. The only problem I see is this pretty much needed to be in the main game, it's way too important to the story for only a fraction of the players to have seen it. Definitely worth the points if you enjoyed the game and DLC so far (or at least Overlord)...
