Just a few small-ish things, thought I'd share though, since I haven't in so long. 1. Forums now use the standard [quote] tag familiar to most other platforms (sometimes called "BBCode"). Quoting a post will now seperate the quoted text into a square with a different color and design, making the quote a more obvious seperation from the response. This is a feature common to 99% of modern forum software so most of you will instantly recognize it and go, "Oh, yeah, that!". Previously, our quotes were just put in italics. Yuck. 2. Andromeda members now have the option to force all comments left to them as private. To enable this, go to: Control Panel -> Experience -> Private Messages -> Force All Private 3. The site was down for a few hours yesterday evening. You may have noticed we're now about 16,000 members lighter. This was just a cleanup of old accounts (accounts not active for 3 months or longer). This cleared a lot of junk from the server and will help your profile searches produce less "dead" profiles in the results. That's it for now, kids. | |

| foundations of mathematics | July 29, 2006, 4:37AM |
 by: nothingmoves |
|
Let me remind you of the problem of multiple reductions in the foundations of mathematics. The worry here is just that the plentitude of formally adequate foundational theories indicates that none could be correct -- the crucial assumption being that formal adequacy would be adequacy simpliciter. I shall argue that the worry here is ill-founded, and that one reduction stands out as being uniquely plausible. Reduction in mathematics is not different in kind from reduction in empirical science. There are always competing theories that are formally adequate, but, in general, some are clearly better than others. For instance, general relativity and its euclidean analog are equally adequate to fit the data. But the former is plainly preferable to the latter since it allows the derivation of virtually all of macro-level gravitation theory from a few eminently simple assumptions. Similarly, the "theory" of arithmetic that includes every theorem (of Peano arithmetic) as an axiom is plainly adequate, but no less plainly inferior to Peano arithmetic itself. The latter allows the derivation of every proposition that the former took as primitive from a subset of 5 of those propositions. Such considerations are enough, i think, to cast doubt on the idea that the mere multitude of formally adequate foundational theories entails anything at all about whether any is correct. However, it remains open whether it can be rational to endorse any of the relevant candidates in mathematics, as it can be rational to endorse one of the relevant candidates in, say, physics. And the answer is not obvious. Suppose, with most philosophers and mathematicians, that if any foundational theory is correct, then some brand of set-theory is. Then it is hardly clear that we have good reason to prefer one such brand to all others. Though Von Neumann set-theory is perhaps preferable to Zermelo on the grounds that the former is uniformly extendable to the transfinite, for instance, an isomorphic theory to it can be constructed in familiar ways. And, it's hard to see how any theory that is isomorphic to Von Neumann set-theory could be theoretically inferior to it. But our supposition was silly, anyway. Property-theories also offer formally adequate reductions of our mathematical theories , and exactly one of these seems clearly preferable not only to its property-theoretic counterparts, but also to every brand of set-theory. In particular, a reduction of the cardinal numbers to cardinality properties of collections, and of the ordinal numbers to ordinality properties of sequences has both metaphysical and epistemic advantages. So, I conclude that those working in the foundations of math should retract their white flags. Not only is one of the relevant reductions plausibly correct, but we can, with some confidence, even say which one it is. | |

| MY THOUGHTS AND THE TRUTH ABOUT EMO's | June 29, 2006, 3:22AM |
 by: Frozen_Chaotic_Souls |
|
Emos Okay, so I don't think I've written up a rant about emos yet. That is actually quite surprising as to how much I really hate emos. Shall I start on my rant? Too bad, it's not your decision to make, however, it is mine, and I have chosen to rant. Too bad for those who didn't want me to start yet. What is emo, you ask? An emo is: "genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least three-fifths of the face at an angle" Another way of putting it is: "a group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them" Now, why would anybody in their right mind dare to think of even associating themselves with this style and genre of music? That's a question that still boggles my mind, and the worst part about it is that this style is becoming ever increasingly more popular in the world. What is this world coming to? I honestly don't know anymore, and I'm afraid to find out where exactly we'll be in 5 years. Emos are the most self-centered people I can think of. They do nothing but bitch and whine about their lives and their emotions that should be non-existant, just like their problems. Emos fail to understand that EVERYBODY'S LIFE SUCKS. They're not the only ones with a problem. If they have a problem, plenty of people have had it before them. It's not a hard concept to grasp, yet each and every day millions of kids continue to MISS that concept. These kids need to WAKE UP. They're not the only ones with problems, and they have it nowhere near as bad as many more people. As the second definition above stated, most of these kids are coming from middle-class loving homes where most of their problems are a figment of their retarded imaginations. The fact that these numbers of teenaged morons is increasing daily just boggles my mind. Emos tend to cling to their diaries and live journals like releasing their emotions is going to get them any sympathy. What kind of crap is this? Nobody wants to hear their melodramatic bs that they spew because they THINK that the world is out to get them. I honestly don't care to read about how they were dumped that day. They need to wake up and realize that plenty of others were dumped as well... THAT DAY. If they would search LJ and MySpace for those who had been dumped, they'd probably find plenty of others, except every other non-emo isn't complaining about how much their life sucks because of it and how the world is out to get them. They have the realization that the world continues to go around even if their heart is broken. They move on, they don't sulk over the same god damned problems simply because it hurts. Maybe they should take a step back and ask themselves WHY they were dumped. Maybe because of their bleek outlook on life? Maybe because wearing all black is a stupid statement of one's style? Because their music is filled with nothing but suicidal bs that only makes one feel WORSE after listening to it? The fact that crying about bs only makes you that much more of a wimp? I'm sure one or more apply to it, and I'm sure I've left out hundreds of reasons as to why they were dumped, but obviously they're too stupid to see it. Their diaries and live journals (and/or myspaces) are an emos best friend, and if anybody wants to see what it's like to be inside the heads of one of these idiots, you won't have to look very far on either live journal or myspace to find one. Their clothing style is another stupid bs fad that these worthless teenagers have clinged onto. Who in their right mind wears all black? This goes for goths too, but that's another topic for another day. I mean, do you think you look good in nothing but black? Is this style to symbolize that their "mourning" over their bs lives? Are they all of a sudden hardcore because they're wearing all black? That's certainly not what I get from it. I see weakness in black. It tells me that they have no personality; they're just another souless drone in today's society feeding off of the mass produced bs that today's media is throwing at them. It tells me that they have no individuality. Their hair is absolutely horrible. It's greasy, long, and unwashed. It looks absolutely tacky, and only makes them look even more ridiculous. Their studded belts and tacky bracelets also add to their pathetic genre and style of mass produced bs. Their music is even worse. It's got a horrible sound to it, and it makes you depressed just listening to it, and that's not even the lyrics. A couple of examples of their music would be Dashboard Confessional and From First to Last. Now, I don't suggest anybody actually go out and listen to them, but if you do, be prepared to desire to destroy your eardrums and never hear again due to the natural rancidity of their music. There's not much to say about their music other than it just sucks something horrible. I attempted to listen to it before, and I nearly drove myself insane trying to listen to that bs. If you're strong enough to not cringe at the sound, either you're stronger than I am, or you're deaf. Either way, I won't aspire to do the same. The crying... oh, I probably shouldn't get myself started on this, but it's a rant, so what the heck? These little pussies sit and cry because they can't handle all this "drama" and these "problems" that exist in their lives. I'm all for letting one's emotions out, but not when they're making up these emotions. Nothing is that bad where one has to sit and cry all day over these problems because they can't simply figure out that by sitting there crying about it, they're not making anything better. They could simply go out and do something else rather than sit and cry, but oh no, that'd be the SMART thing to do, and emos can never be counted on to do the smart thing. Instead, they feel that crying to one another is going to make things all better. Sorry to break it to them, but it won't. Last thing I have to complain about is their cutting. Cutting themselves to feel better. How exactly does that work? "*cry cry* I'm going to cut myself because my life sucks." Cutting oneself is no solution to one's (non-existant) problems. That only shows they're just that much more weak that they must do physical harm to themselves to somehow feel better. If that's not the most retarded thing I've ever heard of, I don't know what is. These morons could just all do us a favor and remember to go vertically down their wrists, not horizontally. If they want to cut themselves, they might as well go all the way and kill themselves while they're at it. I don't need bs styles to pollute my future-kids' minds, and I sure as hell don't care to continue to look at these sad individuals. On second thought, anybody with a cut on their wrists inflicted by themselves needs to be locked into some insane asylum. At least this way we can maintain to protect the sanctity of life while removing these pests from today's society. Only in a perfet world would this happen, but such is not reality. The only thing we can do about it is to stay one step ahead of this trend and hope for its demise. In conclusion, emos suck. | |

| The concequence of change | June 10, 2006, 11:49AM |
 by: Murderous_Breeze |
|
Ive been on this earth for almost 18 years now, not nearly long enough to understand even %3 percent of it, but the one thing i understand about this society and world we live in, is that we do not need to understand anything. This article is going to be complicated maybe to some of the readers, its whats been on my mind lately, and i thought to express it as easy as i can. Well since the dawning of civilization, we as humans have been interested in understanding and learning our surrounding environment, i think its called evolution. We try to give our ideas to one another in order for the problem to be fixed, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesnt, and when it does work, the people get labeled in history as great heroes and thinkers, but when it doesnt, we get put in the section of a nazi leader im sure you all know of. But one thing ive been thinking about is that, their is no need to understand this world and its true purpose and way of existance, alot of you may say it will with future problems and we can expand our knowledge of science and math. As we humans evolve we get smarter and more stupid at the same time, we unlock parts of our brain but also we unlock the true meaning of ignorance and we INTEND to destroy the land around us and the people inside, then we are forced to deal with the problems that we had created, and create new problems, a ever circle of screw ups. Where am i going with this you may ask? Well its simple, i have read alot of articles and re-read even my one about masonry and realised something very crucial to our existance, we should stop and think about what we really are doing. Alot of people out their dont believe that one person can make a difference, that if one person stands up among the rest of them and says "NO! thats wrong!" then he is silly, but it all starts with one person, that one person is the spark that the fuse needs to be lit. We must all look at the concequence of all our actions, maybe good, maybe bad. Giving that homeless guy that looks like a junkie that extra 5 dollars for his next hit makes you think you have done good, but in reality you have just given him less time to live. I find this article very important, alot of you will not, but i hope you atleast think about this. My main points here are this: Evolution can be a miraculous and sometimes marvel of a spectacle in modern life and future assurance of our preservation of life, but is it really going to save us? or destroy us? their are millions of animals out their and plant life that are facing extinction, you hear about it on the news, but people get sick of it, thinking its not a big thing, but it really is happening. We are changing for the worst, and we as individuals need to stop it, not try to understand it. Secondly. And this is probably the most important part of this article, and these will be my closing statements. Treat others the way you wish to be treated, give a hand to those who have lost a hand, give hope to those who have been raped of it, give a life to those in need of one. | |

| The Da Vinci Code- book and movie | May 30, 2006, 5:13PM |
 by: XangelXmysticsX |
|
I watched this movie with the book fresh on my mind, as I had finished the book three days before I saw the movie. The book was magnificent. The movie, in comparison, was not so good. Where the book made the main female character an intelligent equal to the two main male characters, the movie made the female ignorant, and one of the men knew everything. Where the book made some of the characters innocent but misguided, the movie made them out right bad guys. The ending of the movie was drastically different than that of the book. If the movie had have been made BY THE BOOK, it would have equaled "The Passion" in the awe factor. I do like the movie ending slightly better than the book ending. The movie- as if I'd never read the book: Outstanding! A little bit of action, some blood, and a lot of subtitles. A typical Ron Howard film, actually. (Side note- whodathunk- little Opie making an anti church movie?) Leaves you on the edge of your seat wondering what's next, whodunnit, and why? The book: Great mystery novel. Dan Brown is a bit of a genius. He weaved bits and peices of truth in with a plot and story line and came up with something that the Catholic church boycotted! (Ironically, the book talks about the Catholic Church covering up history... then they boycot. I find that hilarious.) As I was reading, I was trying to figure out all of the clues just as hard as the main characters were. It's understandable that so many thought this book was non fiction. Dan Brown must have done quite a bit of research for this book. | |

| Rumor Has It, The Ringer, and The Family Stone | May 22, 2006, 11:19PM |
by: XangelXmysticsX |
|
Two chick flicks and a comedy (with a chick flick ending). Rumor Has It: This movie is what happened after "The Graduate" (or if you've never seen the movie but you listen to classic rock- "Mrs. Robinson") If you've never seen or heard either- the "Rumor" is this: Man sleeps with older woman. Man sleeps with woman's daughter (whom he goes to school with)- leaving first woman completely jaded against men. Daughter gets married and has kids. Man sleeps with second woman's daughter (first woman's grand daughter)- who happens to be engaged. Pretty predictable 'chick flick'. Great acting, great actors, hilarious story line. (Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Shirley Maclaine) The Ringer: Only Johnny Knoxville could pull off something like this. The story of a kind hearted man who can't stand up for himself. He gets in a bind and tries to rig the Special Olympics. Other Olympians catch on and talk him into making a better person of himself. If you're one of those politically correct people, you probably wouldn't like this movie. However, if you're a 'Jackass' fan, I think you'd like it. (I'm not a Jackass fan and I loved it.) A great comedy with a 'chick flick' ending. And for my absolute favorite of the bunch- The Family Stone: Much like my own family actually. It's a romantic comedy set at Christmas time. Man brings home woman. Family drives woman over the breaking point. There's a couple of twists and turns, a few cuts, scrapes and a black eye, but everything works out in the end. Claire Danes did so much better in this than in "Shop Girl". Huge cast, highly active movie (you almost have to have ADD to keep up with it), real life plot. | |

| Secret War | May 21, 2006, 9:44AM |
by: Murderous_Breeze |
|
The first sign of their presence began in 1097, by this time, they held a very strong and powerful grip on England who at this point in history was united under one crown by William the Conqueror. The priests of christondom promoted a crusade to capture the holy land of Jerusalem, in the name of Jesus Christ. While the knights of christondom battled against the armies of Islam, outside the high gates of Jerusalem, the secret society were pulling the strings on the outcome. This secret society built on shadow and the ultimate lust for power would be the grand masters of almost every war and major turning point in history. They were known as the Knights of the Temple of Solomon, or simply, the Templar Knights. They believed in the Kabalah, a form of mysticism, Jewish magic dating back to ancient Egypt. While the Crusades were being fought in the name of God and his Will, The Templar Knights were there for their own selfish reasons. The first ever temple of Solomon was built in Jerusalem and was a place of worship for Solomon, one of the greater prophets. After being captured by the Arabian armies, led by the General of Saracens, Salahadin, they abandoned it. But it was not what was in this temple which concerned the Templar Knights, it was what was under it. A golden treasure and holy items believed to be the cup of life, this was the true purpose of the war. After the 3 year war at Jerusalem ended, and when the French finally siezed the great walls of the city. King Richard, King of England at the time was given evidence of the slaughtering that the Templar Knights did to the Muslims of Jerusalem. He also uncovered their true relegion, and labeled them as Heretics to Christianity. Every Templar knight was to be killed, and their temples to be burnt to the ground. A few fled. The templar knights hid in shadow, for if they ever wished to survive they would have to die, or more precisley their name would have to die. They then master minded a plan that has changed the very pages of history, they migrated to the very place that was in need of dire independance from England. Scottland. The death of William Wallace gave the Scottish people less hope, the Templar Knights made a secret alliance with the king of Scottland, Robert the Bruce. The Bruce accepted their alliance and their skill and years of fighting the mighty armies of Islam would pay of. The Scottish met the English forces and defeated them. After the death of the English king, England was left without any throne, by right of succession the King of Scottland became king of England, making the Templar Knights power even more expandable, England and Scottland were now united. The Templar Knights had changed their name by this time, and in 1307 they announced publicly their new Society. A name that would be heard by millions, but understood by a few, the name of Freemasons. Freemasons began to pull the strings of Kings and Queens, holding ultimate power in their hands, and freely being able to endulge in their ancestral rights, the Kabalah. for the next 350 years they would hold Europe in their grip, believing in the prophets of old, that the day would come when the "Devine Creator" would come, and all non-believers woud burn. The biggest turning point of their Masonic way of thinking was the French Revolution (1789-1799). Spreading as far as the land which they fled 600 years before. France was falling due to absolute Monarchy, the lesser fortunate people were in rebel. A speach that was given by one Louis De`chou and i quote: "Gentlemen, as i am standing here, and recieving the applause from my right, and the applause from my left, i see we all agree that it was Masonry that made the French Revolution" When the first settlers came to the land of America, they not only brang uncultured people, brutal weapons, but also the Masonic way of thinking. The Freemasons after discovering America were now the most well respected, and least known society in the modern world. The world has just witnessed the first ever Masonic country in the world, America. On April 30th, 1789, George Washington, standing on the balcony of Federal Hall, on Wall Street in New York, took his oath of office as the first President of the United States. Or was it the first Mason-President of the United States. Their presence is everywhere, they are the master engineers of the world, the wars that you and your loved ones fight are in shadow, in their name, you are fighting for what they believe in. They are everywhere, when you turn on your television, they are their, they sit with you when you read your newspaper, they listen to you when you turn on the radio, and they feed you the Masonic way of thinking when you see the Presidents and Governments of the world speek out. They have their own laws, they believe in ultimate power, a one world governments. They are the media, they are Christianity, they are the Jews, and they are the Muslims. No one is safe. They pull the strings of the countries of the world, and their decisions are all for the end. For they believe in the Antichrist, The "Great Architect of the Universe". They are the forebringers of him, waiting his arrival. They poison your mind with their garbage day after day, do your own research, dont take my own word for it, read about the history pages that have been whiped out with white ink and the pages stuck together. They are the Freemasons, and for you who wish to be a free thinking mind, you are their greatest fear, for a person who wishes to think freely, is the greatest threat to their plan for ultimate world power. www.infowars.com its all their. You can make a difference. | |

| Shop Girl | May 11, 2006, 1:45AM |
by: XangelXmysticsX |

Well, I'm a huge Steve Martin fan, and quasi huge Claire Danes fan. This movie is typical for her (especially after watching 'My So Called Life')... But this movie is nothing like what I was used to seeing from Martin. After watching movies such as "Three Amigos" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", you'd expect Martin to write a novella with some actual comedy in it. "Shop Girl" is.... amusing. Amusing only because it's one of those things that when it happens to someone else it's funny, but if it were to happen to you... Like falling down the stairs. This movie was so real, that is was unreal. It had potential to be a very good 'chick flick'. But in my opinion, it fell short (on the very good part- it's still a chick flick). There were a lot of holes in the film. In one scene, a person would do something and, even though we the audience know WHY they did it, it wasn't ever brought out again. | |

| King Kong | May 10, 2006, 2:03AM |

I was a little let down by the movie. Though my only reasoning: Jack Black plays a bad guy. I sat through the whole movie waiting for at least one joke, one trademark smirk. Nothing. All in all it was a good movie; Very well put together. I have never seen the original, so I can't make some witty comparison. I do know, however, that Jack Black's character will have you talking to your television screen. After being type cast as an air head comedy fellow, it was quite a suprise to see how well he played the serious dramatic role. He makes you despise his character with such a passion that, well, quite frankly, I found myself hoping that Kong or some other monstrosity would eliminate him. | |
