  • Quote: Originally posted by BRussell And what's confusing is that if you flip a coin 11 times, you ARE more likely to end up with 1 head and 10 tails than 11 tails. I think people intuitively know that, and they're just over-applying that rule. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by SDW2001 Mathematically, that's true. But I'd argue that in actuality the coin is more likely to come up tails with each toss. Put money on the next toss and tell me which way you'd bet. Which means that you don't …

  • Quote: Originally posted by segovius To you have a Biblical reference of that from Jesus Christ. I'd like to see it. When you fail to find one perhaps you could give us your take on why sex for pleasure is a sin. Theologically. 1) Since wh…
  • Quote: Originally posted by bunge But that's not what the Vatican has said. They should come out and say sex is bad unless you're married and that you shouldn't use condoms because they're against the reproductive rules of the church. This is…
  • Quote: Originally posted by bunge [B]But not using condoms != no sex. Correct, that means you are married and are prepared to build a family (conceive a child etc.). And how exactly do you want to do that with a condom? Using a condom means…
  • Quote: Originally posted by tonton You've GOT to be kidding, right? They said that using condoms increases the risk of AIDS. What did they lie about? Where is your brain? And, doesn't it? Let's see: - No sex. - Sex with condoms. …
  • Quote: Originally posted by Aquatic Nope that won't help me on a PowerBook 12". I definitely am not taking apart my baby! I completely took apart my iBook and that was not good. Get yourself an external firewire drive, then.

  • Quote: Originally posted by twinturbo Let me post this again: Why aren't the C't scores even close to what IBM annouced for for the 1.8Ghz PPC970 at last years Microprocessor conference? At that point in time it was 937 and 1050. Now C't doe…
  • Quote: Originally posted by 123 I haven't used Mathematica on a DP system so far. If you start a slave kernel, will Mathematica automatically use the second processor or do I have to issue special "parallel" commands? If it's used automaticall…
