This is dependant on the radio equipment used. The frequencies attainable are infinite, however, because of various tolerances and variations in equipment there is a finite set of possible frequencies that can be sent and received successfully. As manufacturing techniques improve, the set can possible become larger, but never infinite. Using multiplexing, it is possible to have multiple signals transmitted on the same frequency, which helps.

Cat5e is an improved version of Cat5, which allows higher transfer speeds and longer cable lengths. Most Cat5 cables sold today are Cat5e.

This is called an epicanthal fold. It is beleived to be a natural defense against the weather in central Asia (extreme cold and extreme light). It can also be found in some groups of native Americans, and the Khoisans of south Africa.

Thats the big question.

The game does not actually create an infinite space. The map is, at its simplest, a collection of vectors. What the player sees is calculated from more vectors describing where the player is and what the player is seeing. When you see the void, it just means you cant see anything at that point. If you noclip outside the map, you could keep going until your vector became too large for the game engine to handle, causing an overflow. When this happens, the game could clip your movement so you cant move far enough to cause an overflow, it could wrap the coordinate values so you appear on the other side of the map, or it could just overflow and crash.

I had that post waiting for most of today... hope we dont exceed daily bandwidth again anytime soon.

related: self-consciousness. to illustrate: when babies look in a mirror they see a playmate. it's only when they grow older that they know it's themselves. you can test this by drawing a dot on their forehead.

my question: what makes people, dolphins and monkeys have self-consciousness, whereas other animals do not? it's not the size of the brain (e.g. elephants vs dolphins, ...) so what is it?

As for what came before, it can be explained this way. Without sentient beings and life, all things technically last forever since matter and energy cannot be created nor destroyed. Before life existed, there was no beginning OR end to anything, and thus no way to measure time, thus no time.

As for what caused the Big Bang? Answer: God.

I've noclipped in games for a LONG time. they crash. in some games you start back in the other side and go zooming through the level again.

Yes, maple trees can grow just about anywhere that oak trees can grow. Maple trees need a fair amount of water and can deal with very high and very low temperatures. So go ahead and grow some maples, make some syrup. I will send you some maple seedlings if you send me some cedars from lebanon.

No one really knows what gives us our sense of self. It is one of the greatest questions for mankind and has been left unanswered by every philosopher in history. Although Fishy's avatar is funny, it does have some quotes from some philosophers trying to answer these questions.
We have a sense of self, because somehow we know that we exist, we know that we ARE. But, what is it to BE?

my next question: What is it that makes us BE? or what is it to BE? If we ceased to know that we existed, would we cease to exist? Socrates said "I think therefore i AM."

Oh, and Carmen Sandiego was on "a big old junk in china" according to the song. Apparently, she was kinda slutty.

You know, I know you meant no offense but, the very fact that I am confused here tells me that you just called me a retard. " SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">

What if for the moment, you needed to make it simple, for this retard?

anyways, I need to run for a while.

Orph: I didnt call you a retard. The fact that you cannot read that witohut taking offense means that you are kinda insecure.

Gwil: My bad. I have not been in philosophy class for almost 2 years now. I get a lot of crap mixed up. Oh well. and "Nyah" yerself, welshie!
