[quote]You never said whether or not you were able to shorten the height of the startpanel.[/quote] Well, this is strange. I can't seem to make the start menu shorter than the height shown in the last screenshot. I even changed to a different windowblind (Venom), and I still can't make it smaller than that height. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.....

[quote]But if you persist in talking about 'equilibrium' then I'll simply have to assume you don't understand how the earth functions, or what equilibrium normally means, because equilibrium is not something the planet finds itself in ever, humans nonwithstanding. [/quote] I'm sorry if I use the term equilibrium inappropriately, but what I mean is that life is balanced by natural selection, evolution, predation, and many other things. Biologists and Ecologists have devised all of the

[quote]Read what you wrote? My point is that you did not read what I wrote. I clearly stated there was no objective evidence to support a gaian viewpoint that the earth is sentient.[/quote] You were the one who misinterpreted my first argument and failed to see the point the second time I stated it. Let me quote it for you - [quote]I should have specified saying that I meant from an ecological standpoint, the life on this planet would be in equilibrium without humans

[quote]As though the earth is ever in a state of 'perfect equilibrium'. That sounds too much like some gaian rambling about mother earth being a sentient organism and us a parasite on her. Look you can think that if you want, but the end of that reasoning is that you should kill yourself, besides there's no observable data to base the claim off of. Sure humans are the best species on this planet that we know of at changing the environment to suit themselves, or do da

[quote]There is no should in nature. Only the facts and the lies. Since we aren't extinct we shouldn't be extinct. Not in our environment (which encompasses timeframes) at any rate. And what do you mean by population threshold? The amount of people who can continually live on the planet without risking to drain any resources. If so, who came up with the number and what lifestyle do these people have?[/quote] That's according to a standard ecological model. Lets say for instance that a

I'm a senior in college and I received $5,000 less financial assistance from the government this year.......for no reason other than "those grants have been discontinued." Every one of my friends received less financial assistance this year, so we're all forced to take out more high interest loans that we can work on paying off over the next 20 years. I'm just glad this is my last year.....

[quote who="Mirsguy" reply="54" id="2711946"]Glen, did you right-click on your start menu and choose properties > customize? After this, change the "number of recent programs to display" values under "start menu size" AND uncheck some of the items in the list on top. If you've already done this, then I dunno. [/quote] Ah yeah, it's really weird because I can actually almost empty the start menu and it's still about the same height. Thanks for the quick

Well, I finally started working on this thing again. Just one problem I need help with. I can't figure out how to make the start menu shorter........it seems like there is a gap between the all programs button and the icons above it. What should I adjust? Any help would be awesome!

[quote]If it took you half and hour to "type" out a coherent sentence with your cheek, you probably wouldn't be able to talk about everything you wanted to, either (ok, a half hour is a slight exageration, but it still takes him quite a while). The problem isn't him, it's the general public. Most of them are, well, idiots when it comes to science and/or math. They aren't interested in either, unless it's something "popular" and well-known, like the subject of aliens (which has the

I've had this same problem a few times, and I can't seem to figure it out either. Maybe it's worth messing with the margins for the start menu - right side. I haven't really played with it much. I'll let you know if I figure anything out. [e digicons];)[/e]

[quote]If the media chooses to blow it completely out of proportion (which they often do) and loose the necissary qualifiers, that is a whole seperate problem that really isn't his fault.[/quote] Yeah, it's mostly people who listen to something he says, and instantly think it's fact. My problem with Hawking is as an astrophysicist he relays information in a way that makes people believe him with questioning his rationality. This doesn't allow them to experience both sides of an

[quote]I get annoyed when some people like Hawking talk about space as though their word is gospel [/quote] I get annoyed with those sort of people too. Almost all of science is strictly theory, but I think a lot of scientists tend to forget that. After doing years and years of research, I'm sure it's easy to mistake their hypothesis for the "truth."

They don't necessarily look for alien lifeforms, it's more along the lines of looking for an environment which could support life.
