Why is it that there *always* has to be negative interference in these forums? People come here to learn and practice their skills in photography, not get badgered by hecklers. Don't give me the 'free speech' crap, either. That's just a crutch for being an @$$hole.

Please take your negativity and go back to the teen chatrooms where it belongs.

Ack. There is absolutely nothing on this site that could be classed as real trolling. It's actually a very nice and supportive environment, with a few people who crack some jokes every now and then. There's no crude language, nothing pornographic, nothing about incest or beastiality, no links to things that redirect you to really bad photos of people eating babies or killing kittens or japanese scat porn. You don't know what's out there. Even fatchicksinpartyhats seems satanic compared to this place.

I agree. Just like the young/new person here asking for help and he got 2 stupid one word post right off. Along with one or two others that seem to like to show their age or is it IQ. I even saw one say they might be wasting their time here. If you feel so..there is a X in the top right corner of your screen...or plenty of other places to post your photos.
This is a great site that offers all of us FREE use. A place to learn and grow. I don''t think ANYONE here is perfect. I know we''''re all on different levels of skills but that is what makes this a place to grow and learn. The rude remarks are getting old and of no use. Maybe it''''s increased due to school out for summer.

Those baby eating photos were just a Chinese performance artist protesting against the lack of support for performing arts in China. Also, it was and aborted fetus, so it's not that big of a deal.

Ryano, I don't believe you ought to even go there. You really don't want to get me or anyone else started. Abortion controversy aside, it's a sick person that thinks eating a baby is worth seeing. I feel that I am safe to say I am not alone when I make that comment.

Just try to keep the remarks harmless and you won't have the masses turn on you. Most of the time I find you and your friends amusing but not this time.

why are there *always* people trying to control what everyone else does? if you were competent in your ability to do whatever it is you do, you wouldnt demand praise from everyone. most of the people complaining about things like this dont come here to learn. they come here to lord over everyone to show us just how superior they are

Lisae, that was funny. Yep it makes it all better.

Clay, you may not realize it but you aren't making a lot of sense.

lol

I don't think it's about folks being superior clay.

I think sometimes we believe if we just don't look at something, don't talk about it too much or give it any attention it will just go way. Weird but true.

But, I don't think eating fetus's is all that big a deal. Cannibalism has existed longer than recorded time. I find it amusing any person living in a civilized nation (Asian or American) would think all that much of cannibalism of fetus. It's not like they hunted them down or tricked the fetus into his house like a Jeffrey Dahmer. It's sort of dim witted actually.

Eating crap, babies, fly larvae...so what. Show me somebody voting these inbred, dimwits out of office then I'll be amazed. Somebody actually reproducing cold fusion ( we know it exists in nature). How about FREE CABLE TV...that would be amazing.

We do? Why didn't we get a Nobel Prize!? That would be amazing!

Would you like to buy a perpetual motion machine? :P

Cold fusion exists in states of high density or gravity wells. Hydrogen particle fusion rates under normal room temperature and gravity fields available on earth yeild no additional usable energy.

What most of us MAY live to see are cold fusion generated under high gravity conditions not found on earth.

My statement about existing in nature was not limited to what is found on earth :-P

High density environments and gravity wells are not defined as 'cold'. That's just ordinary, plasma based fusion. It's how stars work, it's how all the heavy elements were generated in the universe, it's how the stuff that makes up our bodies and our world was fused. We've known about fusion for a long time. By the way, I have a degree in Physics, and I worked with a guy for my Honours project who was researching the variability of the fine structure constant over the age of the universe using data from quasars... I knew what you meant by 'nature' :P

I''d propose that "cold fusion" would relate to any fusion where the extremely high temperatures normally needed to obtain practical fusion rates by overcoming the repulsion of the nuclei that are both positively charged are not present. Not to be confused like some by the potential of new chemical reactions.

What my friend from Berkely was saying is that while low energy--that is, at room temperature--this potential barrier makes fusion reactions have an incredibly low probability of occurring, new projects in high gravity chambers could yield new results.

There was a new supercollider research center in America that was scrapped 8 years ago that had a portion of it''s funding aimed at this type of research.

Before you have ions to fuse, you have to have an ionised gas, ie. a plasma, and they only exist at high temperature. Fusion occurs inside stars because the plasma collapses in on itself under gravity, so this is what a high density environment is actually like. Very, very, very hot.

What my friend from Berkely was saying is that while low energy--that is, at room temperature--this potential barrier makes fusion reactions have an incredibly low probability of occurring, new projects in high gravity chambers could yield new results.

I don't know what you mean by a "high gravity chamber"... it's a novel concept :). Gravity depends on the presence of mass warping the space-time continuum... I think that a high gravity chamber will be available the first time someone actually creates a stable wormhole and not before :)

wow...and I thought I just felt outta my league in the photography area on this site...

Thanks a lot.

The high gravity chamber that was beng proposed was a device capapble of accelerating a gas bubble containing hydrogen isotopes in close proximity to one another.

Way is was explained to me was that instead of colliding the particles they would fuse under weight and at far less than normal fission temperatures.

I understand what you are saying that plasma fusion is regularly created under extreme gravity and heat.

I don't think what was being discussed was a "wormhole" size effect.

It's all moot now I guess because the project was scrapped and the PhD's scheduled to work on it were scattered to the consulting winds. (probably eating fetus's in some province of china)

please pardon my passion

I'm sitting here shaking my head in amazement. Ya'll lost me somewhere around the cannibalism issue.

Cold fusion is what happens when you stick yer tongue to the flag pole in the winter time...

05/24/2002 11:22:06 PM · #23
Oh, now I get it.
05/25/2002 05:45:15 AM · #24
Why is it that everytime we start talking about how much we love or hate someone we always have to go back to coldfusion. Damnit, do you see the worlds 'cold' or 'fusion' anywhere in the site title?!

;)

I've been away for a few days, and upon returning, I ran into this forum.

It's ironic that this forum was put together to rant about the people on this site. When I read the forum in its entirety from start to now, I saw a "slice" of the people who come to the forums of this site. I think you represent yourselves very well.

The reason I keep coming back here is because of the learning opportunities and especially the humor. Keeps my ab muscles nice and firm.
