society.

I strongly disagree. just because People can be enthusiastic about something, it does not make them geeks. I am certainly not a geek and anybody who knows me will tell you the same. and anybody that I know personally on this site is certainly not a geek either. not a single one. of course there will be one or two People who may be classified as geeks.. but then there is no way of knowing until I meet that person 'in person'. EDIT: but it depends on wether you are using the derogatory definition of geek or the technical descriptive term. my initial reaction was that you were using it in a derogatory fashion and describing 'geek' as a quality that is unattractive to women. that is what I disagree with. of couse, if we take the other definition that a geek is a imaginitive and learned individual then lots of People here are like that.

yeah i can totally dig that SE. I really feel where you're coming from there. I mean, I said my bit before... but that was just a straight forwards way of looking at it... thats how i have thought in the past... and I have thought on it a lot. I think the best way to react in any situation is to kinda... close your eyes and feel your way along. I don't mean this literally of course. this is a very strong metaphor. just coast it. go with the flow.. try and get into situations where things can happen. and if it feels right, just do it. I made the mistake of talking about my feelings a lot of times in the past. it never works. it makes you feel wierd... makes you choke on your spit and makes her feel a little creeped out. I don't think it has anything to do with being a jerk or not. It's about confidence. and instinct. being able to act on your instincts. I only say this because of a situation that has cropped up recently... and I am finding that this kind of attitude works well. it is hard because you have to try and balance how you feel and also try and read signals and then guage what is a good thing to do.. In many ways.. I think it's daft to talk about your feelings because a lot of the time your feelings are all lies.

well if i am completely honest... I mean, not a word of a lie here... most People that i meet that are interested in guys tell me that I am very attrctive and very nice and genuine etc. now obviously i don't think so when i look in the mirror... i don';t think many People could truthfully say that they are these things... but what winds me up is that when they say these things.. I am thinking.. well why the hell do i not have a girlfriend? I end up thinking that they are basically lying to me... but then... that many People who don't know each other can't all lie about the same thng,, it's not as if I ask them to say it. what I think it is... is that because i am a nice person, I'm not pushy.. I'm not ultra competetive and i am not gonna drenn on another guys chances. the jerks will. they will do anything to get in there. and that is why.

Yes I am a little upset about that. I was christened when i was young. I was forced to go to sunday school for most of my early childhood. that was until I started to become an individual at the age of around 8. that was when i started ignoring my parents and doing what i felt was right. they tried to force me to go but I just got out of the car and went over to my mates house instead of into the church. it was more fun. I didn't give a drenn what some book said. I wanted to play on mario 2! but since i started to thin about faith... I never even considered that i was christened as a methodist. I think that is pretty much irrelevant. some splash of water on my head doesn't count as some kind of binding contract. there's no magic going on. there is no spell cast over me. as far as I am concerend it was a splash of water. i do that every morning. my beliefs come from deep inside. they come from my own soul and don;t reflect on what anybody has tried to teach me because i tend to ignore a lot of what other People say if i do not agree with it. I don;t knwo where my morals or my willfulness come from it certainly isn;t from any religion or from my parents or from any of my past friends. it is mine alone. oh but i'm rambling. these things are interesting. the bible is such a thing... I think that it has gained this status and it is very troublesome. it is the best selling book in the world.. i have never read it. I have one on my shelf... the only reason why it never went in the bin is because it wqas a gift from my grandparents. it is precious to me for that reason and that reason alone. the contents of the book are meaningless. but to say things like that?? wow... well I guess it can be said that all organised religions may have simiolar aspects? things that do not seem too good.... it isn't this that causes troubles though. it is peoples apathy that is the problem. when People follow it bliondly without thinking that is where evil occurs. the good People who follow such religions are good because they can see past the temptations of the devil. one could say that these parts of the bible are red herrings for god to truly test his followers? I'm just exploring possibilities here. talking hypothetically of course.

I like what you said there. I can really relate to that.

you need to respect other beliefs. otherwise your access to this section will be denied. this is your only warning for this thread.

well... shinobi is obviously to do with ninjas or whatever.... looking on wikipedia reveals that shinobi means 'to steal away' or something like that... is this what you were asking? or did you want to know what the particles mean seperately? I wouldn't know that much.

Yah, I agree on that.. it's hard to pin it down completely because god is an abstract notion. I believe that GOD is a cumulation of all the will of all creatures on the planet. kinda like the group conscioussness of the cells in our brain. or like the hive mind of an ant hill. so god is another name for Gaia... or whatever. so when the christian bible says the holy ghost is in all of us and jesus is in all of us and god is in all of us, I think they meant it literally. well at least i think they said that, I don't recall ever reading the christian bible.

the point i was trying to make was the kind of context the word appears in. 'launch' can be synonymous with 'activate' in this context 'launch' can mean the same thing as 'transform', as in 'activate' if ya get my meaning :wink:

of course there are different words for the same kind of thigns but can be used in different contexts. it's the same as english where you can have many synonyms suited to different situations. Toku Warrior, Hentai is indeed used to describe something that is not normal.. hence perverse... but someting that is transformed such as a transgender would be described as hentai. whereas henshin is more of the kinds of activation transformation. think of Hurricanger where oboro says 'hashin' think of the similarities of the words.

great Idea dude! I want to post a word! MAHOU Mahou is a random word that can be shouted out in the classroom when you are eccited just as long as you have a teacher called becky that is 11 years old alternateively.... mahou basically means magic.

Thanks for those dude I shall have to remember that, I like the way that was phrased about the dolphins. and also the bit about the star trek. I also cannot remember who said that and when.. but I rmember it was good. oh.. hold on, it was zefram cochrane.. I just want to add... I don't think you should treat People how you would expect to be treated... i think you should treat People how THEY expect to be treated. but the only way to find that out is by trial and error.. in new meetings, I find it best to be cautious, polite and friendly.

I split the topic at this point, because at this stage the posts came to be more focused on specifics of pi and it's calculations.

I think the People best qualified to answer this question are the People to whom life actually has meaning. those People who have a purpose. The People who have a purpose in their life will tell you straight away what the meaning of life is FOR THEM. but there is a pattern... and I have met many People who, like me, have purpose. the answer is "to make others happy" this is the pattern that has emerged. almost anyone who has a driving force.. something that makes their life worthwhile, something that they endeavor towards it is to make others happy, to enrich others lives and to inspire others. that is why I do the things I do... to make others happy. If I can see a smile on the face of another, it makes me feel good and that is my purpose. I also want to strive to make the world a better place. I feel that this also links in with my own spiritual beliefs. that human beings come to inhabit the earth in an eternal quest to learn and improve upon ourselves. as a whole and not just personally. that is why the ones who can make others happy or inspire others endeavor to help the rest of the People to reach their own personal apex. the meaning of life - "happiness - for oneself and for others"

I did notice and I actually had a very long and nice reply for you... but for some reason my computer is tuirning into a retarded piece of drenn.. and threw my post out the window.... I will sum my piost up and say that I do read everything.. but sometimes I get caught up in somerthing else... also I tend to over exaggerate just because it's fun also because i don't know much about real world applications of these things.

heh heh, you're not wrong there!!! I still measure height in ft and weight in stones. I see it then..... so the base doesn't make too much difference. .. but it is better in some circumstances.. so it is good to have a variety? wow, thats like... hey when humans have developed to be more intelligent, then humans will be able to work with differnt bases all at the same time!!

thanks for the info zeo so what do you think about science and physics and that and how they might behave if they used an octal system instead of decimal? and also, do you happen to know if pi is an easier number if it is caluclated in octal or hexadecimal?

WOW! that's so much information!! I am gonna find it hard to reply.... I am thinking about what you said about computers and science... see thats where I have the problems.. because using large numbers with computers, you end up having them use FLOPS... and that is certainly not good by any count... but then... if they use full calculations i still think it is a bit silly because decimal does not translate easily into computer memory locations. with memory locations, you have byte which is to do with the number 8.... now I can't wuite remember if it was 8 memory locations, or 8 possible outcomes.... but either way, 10 doesn't fit in there anywhere. also, I think that Pi is a nonsesne number because you can't write it down. tha fact that it is infinite.... means you can NEVER get an accurate definition for it. It is impossible, thus making it an impossible number.. making it nonsense. well I suppose it isn't nionsesne because you can write down a representation of it in some notation. but the point is, if you want to figure stuff out.. like the size of a planet or whatever.. or figure out the size of a photon.. you can't do it because you can't give an accurate number for pi. oh well if these numbers are irrational whatever base they are, then i can't argue anything about that... well i can say I think it's wrong, but then I am not really basing anything on that, so that just becomes my own ignorant personal opinion. uhm... oh yeah, so I wasn't talking about obvious stuff or anything.. I mean the philosophy of science is sound.. I have a LOT of ideas about time and space and dimensions and stuff.. but I was referrig to complexe physics that they all only use maths for.. that kind of science where the only proof they have of anything is some maths. I personally don't think it is much of evidence... because these things are flawed.. relativity is flawed... I don't know exactly how myself, i just know it. that for one scale.. universe and that.. the numbers work, but for sub atomic scale the number don't work... that was what i was thinking.

nah, you don't have to. there are a lot of People with 4:3 monitors. although an idea would be to make them resize-friendly.. meaning, leave the tops and/or bottoms relatively unimportant. some of the time, People like blank areas for their icons anyway, so that way if you leave some space for icons or for resize, that will help People out.

heh heh, yeah, I find it annoying how most WP are made for a 4:3 screen I like to make them so they can be flexible. I'm glad you like it too, I have it on my desktop as well

yeah, thanks for your support you are right about the hows and the whys... I think the main point is mostly to be an advocate to the octal system. mainly though I am looking for knowledge.. seeing as I am simply not good enough with maths to figure these things out for myself... of course, I have always been poor to maths due to that same thing that is always causing me problems. that dyslexia. so I was hoping for somebody to be able to tell me a couple of things like what the hex or oct equivalent to pi is. also I was hoping for an answer to what science uses, which I now have an answer to so thanks to largo for that I would like to get zeo1234 on here to answer these, I don't want to start the same discussion in two separate plaecs as I will get very confused. I would really like to try and learn how to use this kind of system in my head. I would really like to give it a go, but that kind of thing is something to dedicate an entire lifetime to and I have so much to do that I feel could be more important. of course, I could always attempt to prompt somebody else to go down that path through some of the media that I intend to produce.

I have been disputing the decimal system in my head for a while... I may have spoken to others about it once in a while, but It is always bugging me... It is stupid. 10 does not divide evenly. it goes like this - 10, 5, 2.5, 1.25, 0.625, 0.3125, 0.15625 ......... and so on, it's absolutely ridiculous.. why on earth we are still stuck in this senseless system is beyond my sense of reasoning. of course a better system has been invented and is used for some things. I actually devised a similar system myself before i actually realised that some clever guy had already done it. it stands to reason. to figure it out you take the base number - 1, then double it 1,2,4,8,16 now, my system was actually devised to use 8 digits only, but hexadecimal uses 16 digits. quite useful. you can divide evenly and that is the sensible part. you can do any calculations with it and it works great. well it would work great if peope could bloody use it. I mean, my head has been bent to work with ten since i was a very young child. It makes me kinda angry to think that these People have drummed this system into my head and now if i try and think of any other system i just get insanely confused. I mean, if i try and figure out a sum in hex...... OMG my brain starts to meltdown... I wish i could unlearn dec and learn hex it would be so much better. but anyway, i really should get to the point of my discussion, because believe it or not, this is not just arant about numbers.. my main thoughts when making this thread is physics. I know that pysics and indeed many schools of science use mathematics a lot. now.... heres the main problem. if they are using the decimal system.... then there is a big bloody problem there. it is my understanding that for as long as physics has been thought about.. you know since newton... I think they must not have had hexadecimal back then, so all the physics models are using decimal? maybe, maybe i am wrong about all that, and they actually use hexadecimal for physics? see, when i think about decimal and some fo the numbers they use.. it makes no sense. like pi for example, 3.14XXXXXXXXXXXXX to the power of a million trillion infinity. stupid, absolutely nonsensical stupidity. I would really love to know what the equivalent value of pi is in hexadecimal. I bet it is something really easy to do. like 3.2 or something. of course, there is possibly someone who can read this and actually tell me what it is and then is gonna tell me that i'm stoned and am talking gibberish. (i never touched any of that stuff for the record) but anywa, i was thinking that if they take all these nonsense mnumbers and convert them to hex, then they might just get a load of really clever numbers that are easy to remember and will fix everyones headache once and for all. then when they have got their super dooper numbers, they can go back and figure out their phsyics systems and realise that when they got their numbers wrong it was because tehy are using really long and stupid nonsesne numbers like pi. then they will get their sums right, and will be able to figure out warp travel and stuff like that. well it's ben a while since i wrote anything like this. I hope you enjoy my thoughtas and i hope it inspireds some interesting thoughts of your own EDIT: please oh please, I do not want anybody to give the smart aleck remark "we use decimal because we have ten fingers" I think that much is obvious. :wink:

doesn't need to be cut out. tell you what, can you give me the images you used for the gekirangers, and I'll see what i can do with it.
