Riva, I hereby award you a big avatar of your choosing. Thank you, also, for citing your sources... plagiarism is NOT acceptable at Sputnikmusic!

Accordingly, all candidates seeking big avatar status MUST provide citations.

It'd be better if this forum supported images and excel formatting. :<

In addition, I'd like to see the referencing either follow the Standard Harvard Referencing system or the Journal of Structural Geology format.

Well played.

So- I'm about to make all of you little Sputnik chump's wet dreams cum troo!

Are You Ready?

Here It Is...








can you please ban username "idontcare" forever?

also ban username "subsonic."

this website is the biggest waste of my time, and for some reason I can't seem to pull myself away from it.

I'm actually really surprised myself that you guys haven't done it already! Most of these chode-lickers hate me. I've finally decided that I really should just be doing something more enjoyable, productive, and important... like practicing my bass; rather than sitting here arguing with a bunch of dweebs about how "Opeth isn't death metal," how "gay" Metallica are, or about how I'm "in the wrong thread."

I actually thought I might learn something here, and all I really did was refresh my memory of how much I don't like computer dorks! But! As I've always said...

Have a nice day.

Sure thing, but banning won't keep you away if you're addicted.

ITT: idontcare is so butthurt he posts it twice!

Somebody should do an IP scan on him, if it hasn't already been done.

I believe so too. Somehow he reminds me of some other people who used to post here. If he was entirely new though I feel sorry because if he kept himself away from the flaming he had the potential to become a regular.

I hate to bring it up, but anytime something like that goes down, I always think of Dylan, although I doubt it was him.

I would like to report pate and nostalgia for racism in the Garm thread.

He wouldn't have been able to resist telling everyone who he was.

Haha, I don't think it was him, but that'd be great if it was. I checked his last.fm a few month ago, and he probably has the worst musical taste I have ever seen, and I'm inclined to say idontcare had better. Not by much, but still.

But Dylan hasn't scrobbled a track since like December.

heres my essay i worked all night on it

[QUOTE]The word “quantum” (Latin, “how much”) in quantum mechanics refers to a discrete unit that quantum theory assigns to certain physical quantities, such as the energy of an atom at rest (see Figure 1, at right). The discovery that waves have discrete energy packets (called quanta) that behave in a manner similar to particles led to the branch of physics that deals with atomic and subatomic systems which we today call quantum mechanics. It is the underlying mathematical framework of many fields of physics and chemistry, including condensed matter physics, solid-state physics, atomic physics, molecular physics, computational chemistry, quantum chemistry, particle physics, and nuclear physics. The foundations of quantum mechanics were established during the first half of the twentieth century by Werner Heisenberg, Max Planck, Louis de Broglie, Niels Bohr, Erwin Schrödinger, Max Born, John von Neumann, Paul Dirac, Wolfgang Pauli and others. Some fundamental aspects of the theory are still actively studied.

It is currently necessary to use quantum mechanics to understand the behavior of systems at atomic length scales and smaller. For example, if Newtonian mechanics governed the workings of an atom, electrons would rapidly travel towards and collide with the nucleus. However, in the natural world the electrons normally remain in an unknown orbital path around the nucleus, defying classical electromagnetism.

Quantum mechanics was initially developed to explain the atom, especially the spectra of light emitted by different atomic species. The quantum theory of the atom developed as an explanation for the electron's staying in its orbital, which could not be explained by Newton's laws of motion and by Maxwell's laws of classical electromagnetism.

In the formalism of quantum mechanics, the state of a system at a given time is described by a complex wave function (sometimes referred to as orbitals in the case of atomic electrons), and more generally, elements of a complex vector space. This abstract mathematical object allows for the calculation of probabilities of outcomes of concrete experiments. For example, it allows one to compute the probability of finding an electron in a particular region around the nucleus at a particular time. Contrary to classical mechanics, one can never make simultaneous predictions of conjugate variables, such as position and momentum, with arbitrary accuracy. For instance, electrons may be considered to be located somewhere within a region of space, but with their exact positions being unknown. Contours of constant probability, often referred to as “clouds” may be drawn around the nucleus of an atom to conceptualize where the electron might be located with the most probability. It should be stressed that the electron itself is not spread out over such cloud regions. It is either in a particular region of space, or it is not. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle quantifies the inability to precisely locate the particle.

The other exemplar that led to quantum mechanics was the study of electromagnetic waves such as light. When it was found in 1900 by Max Planck that the energy of waves could be described as consisting of small packets or quanta, Albert Einstein exploited this idea to show that an electromagnetic wave such as light could be described by a particle called the photon with a discrete energy dependent on its frequency. This led to a theory of unity between subatomic particles and electromagnetic waves called wave-particle duality in which particles and waves were neither one nor the other, but had certain properties of both. While quantum mechanics describes the world of the very small, it also is needed to explain certain “macroscopic quantum systems” such as superconductors and superfluids.

Broadly speaking, quantum mechanics incorporates four classes of phenomena that classical physics cannot account for: (i) the quantization (discretization) of certain physical quantities, (ii) wave-particle duality, (iii) the uncertainty principle, and (iv) quantum entanglement. Each of these phenomena will be described in greater detail in subsequent sections. im adding this sentence so its not plagiarized from wikipedia.[/QUOTE]

lol I got an A in quantum mechanics last spring.

ok seriously its not right of them to plagiarize MBS' work

I know!

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][color=red][size=7]F[/size]

[I]Your article lacked an abstract. You also displayed a poor writing style and convoluted sentence structure. In addition, your failure to cite references can only lead me to believe you plagiarised this entire article from a website. You can do better, Aaron. See me after class.[/I]

Also the essay is supposed to be about why you want a big avatar, silly rabbit

[QUOTE=Jom;15314443]Also the essay is supposed to be about why you want a big avatar, silly rabbit[/QUOTE]

This is true, however, if I get an entertaining essay about something else I'll still give them an avatar.

Please note essays written for school are rarely interesting.

MBS deserves a 50x50 now.

Okay, I'm gonna take pity and show off what kind of article we three mods are REALLY looking for.

[quote][U][b][center]Analysis of Riva and its effect on the thermodynamic stability of an Internet Forum[/b][/U]

[I]Abstract: Much study has been done on the awesome nature of Riva in general. However, the effect of Riva on the thermodynamic stability of forums is less well known. A sample of Riva was subjected to a variety of tests to determine its "hot" rating. The effects of this on an internet forum was then analysed. It was found that Riva has a marked effect on the thermodynamic stability of an online forum.[/I][/center]


[B]1. Introduction[/B]

A hyperaccumulator is any plant who takes up a specific or multiple heavy metals in amounts well above the described toxicity limits (Brooks, 1976). Riva is a well-known hyperaccumulator of heavy metals (DeGaine, 2007). Previous research has shown that a substance also known as Riva is responsible for the ability to withstand high concentrations of heavy metals within the body. This substance, a dihydroxotrinitritoketonecobalt(II) fluoride, excels at kicking arse and taking names (Evil, 2005).

Internet forums have been around for ages. Dictionary.com defines the Internet as: “a vast computer network linking smaller computer networks worldwide (usually prec. by the). The Internet includes commercial, educational, governmental, and other networks, all of which use the same set of communications protocols.” (Dictonary.com, 2007). One hotbed of retardation and stupidity is the MX forums, at [url]www.sputnikmusic.com/forums[/url] (Wikipedia, 2007).

A valid method of analysing the thermodynamic characteristics of a substance is through the “hot” rating (DeGaine, 2007). This report investigates the “hot” rating of Riva through a variety of tests. It will then calculate the effects of Riva on an internet forum.

[b]2. Methodology[/b]

The methods used in this report are based on the circular logic of Sean Mims as described in [i]This is why I’m hot [/i](Mims, 2007).

[b]3. Results[/b]

Table 3.1 shows the results of the This Is Why I’m Hot (or TIWIH) test. It can be seen that all fields showed a strong affinity for hotness. In particular, the Australian Accent field showed a value of 100. Also, the Filthy-Euro-Commie field had the lowest value possible of -500.

[i]Table 3.1 The results of the TIWIH test. [/i]
[b]Factor[/b] [b]Value (Hz.m.s.kj-1.mL-2)[/b]
Sex Appeal 80
Australian Accent 100
Filthy-Euro-Commie status -500
Interweb Cred Over 9000
Taste In Beer Hawt


[b]4. Discussion[/b]

As mentioned earlier, the results show a strong affinity for the “hot” rating of the TIWIH test. The Australian Accent is closely linked with Sex Appeal, explaining the high scores for each field. The Sex Appeal was based on female response, in particular your mum’s response. Interestingly, however, the Sex Appeal also rated high in the male response, not suprisingly due to the overly homoerotic nature of a forum of adolescent males who enjoy heavy metal.

In addition, the over 9000(Hz.m.s.kj-1.mL-2) value for Interweb Cred is the subject of some controversy, as several articles published state that a high value for this factor should be associated with a “Not Hot” rating (ED, 2007). However, as stated by Mims, S in the album [i]Music Is My Savior[/i], “This is why I’m hot and this is why I’m hot and this is why I’m hot”. Hence it can be assumed that the results may be open to interpretation, as any value could conceivably be shown as a reason of being hot.

[b]5. Conclusion[/b]

Overall, it can be stated that Riva has a marked effect on the thermodynamic stability of a forum. Put succinctly, the presence of Riva increases the Highly Amazing, Wonderful Type factor of a forum by virtue of its high “hot” rating. Therefore, it is clear that Riva should be given a large avatar. However, the ability of Riva to change avatars of any size renders this entire fu[font=verdana]c[/font]king report moot.
