Yeah, that was my point with that "alternative criterion" (which MrSatyre summed up: what he says is what actually happens. Which was your point as well, so...

I'll just leave this here

It's even stronger than that, it's more like "Theory of Gravitation" or "Theory of Relativity". It's like "sure, it's incomplete, but it explains pretty much everything we know so far, has made predictions on things we didn't even have observed yet and when we looked thos predictions stood". That is: in Science,…

I was thinking more in the lines of Superman

his father's name was Vissarion

I actually meant how cool would it be for your president to be called "man of steel". But on second thought I'm glad I didn't say what I meant, because clearly it was not cool at all

But we can avoid that fate by making laws requiring that rejuvenation for the most part goes to people who deserve it

Hmm, Stalin was a nickname, so I guess saying his actual full name is the right way to do it if you're a politician/you're a public figure/you have a stick up your ass.

I know there was a whole bunch of people in the farm in the comic (I want to remember some of them died when the zombies broke out), but the only thing I can remember from the show (which I've watched during the last couple months, as opposite to those events, which I read maybe four years ago) is the kid from the…

Aren't you quick to rule him dying out?

Would you care if T-Dog or Carol fell into a tiger trap?

The reason it's good for blocking those harmful rays is the same reason it's shiny: it's an excellent conductor (I think military aircarft wires are made of gold)

That'd be TAB 2 then, wouldn't it? (I tried and tab 5 is turning off the sound for a program instead of the mic)

Thanks, I already got it to appear, but having a button to mute/unmute it in my task bar is what I ideally wanted. Thr problem is it seems to depend on wha applications I have open, since it appears the last after all of them, but it'll hopefully be the second forever the next time I restart , like volume is the first…

Yeah, the problem was the mic didn't appear in the mixer (I already made it appear by saying the magic words)

Thanks, got it to appear in the mixer with the right google search:

Thank you very much, I see what that does, but the problem is my mic doesn't appear in my mixer (SndVol) at all, so the tab, space, enter turns the master volume off instead of the microphone.

yeah, that's the one, I have to go to sounds > wait for the items to appear > look in a menu of 20 items for "manage audio devices" > select the "levels" tab > THEN change the volume. This is a problem when I have skype beeping and am rushing to find it with someone waiting. I don't know why the microphone doesn't…

What I would like is an easy way to kill the microphone for a while. I use an external monitor in my laptop so the lid's always down, so I can only turn the volume halfway up, or I get tons of feedback. But I have to go through 3 or 4 layers of menus to turn it off because it doesn't appear in the mixer, and when I…

My lab is lie one quarter of the first pic.
