All right all right! Sounds good to me, and with that last post you have redeemed anything that might have seemed bad. Thanks for being resonable. I appreciate it. And so... May the code talk go on.

I think you have made your point. I have made mine. In honor of the fact that I never intended to start a flame war, I will refrain from posting here. Although I do find it odd that you have dodge what I have said every time you have posted. Further more, I find it amazing that you dont see why I would find your thread to be insulting. You asked me to show where you implied the ideas of greater intelligence, I provided those points. My argument was a simple one that easily made my points with out insult or games. I was straight forward and direct with you. I am sorry to every one on the boards for messing up this thread. You woulnt see me in here again unless this back and forth is responded to with another flame in retaliation. The code itself and the thread would not have been objected to if the message in the thread had not been, lets find out who is smart. Sorry but I dont take well to those who consider themselves an authority for no reason or those who feel as though they are an intellectual worthy of judging others. I still gotta say though, the personal insults about my mom and I or the ignorant thing, thats just brilliant. I'll have to remember those next time I test out someones intelligence. However, I must say, I still believe this thread has shown me more about your (cowpie) own intelligence and demeanor than it has revieled to the rest of us anything about anyone elses intelligence. ----------------------------- Oh yea, Mods- please dont close this on my behalf, I woulnt be dealling with this thread. So please leave it be, for I will if you will.

"I am semi new here and I want to find out who the smart people are" "trust me, I have a high feeling of doubt that anyone here will solve it" "just try and tell me if it is to hard" (which is supposed to be "too" hard) Im sorry, but what right do you have to declare who is smart and who is not. But I gotta say, I love the personal insults (ahh the last hope of a losing debate)

You have my attention now. Politics are sorta right up my alley, especially when its a punk band trying to rant about them. So what is their overall message or are they just another group of uneducated fools with a voice that carries way too far? I mean, its possible they are pulling a lil de la roche, but even that harvard grad isnt smart enough to see his hypocrocy. sooooo.... whats the deal with these guys, do they complain with no solutions or are they intelligent enough to offer an answer for the countries alleged problems? BTW, do they even gripe about legit stuff or is it all stuff about the CIA watching them? thanks for your patience on this on, I know that when it comes to anything slightly political I can be pretty nasty.

Alright, since it is obvious that you are just as smart as I thought, and you have had two post since my own, I will come forth with my codes key. UHMMM.... lets see, numbers 2-9 and what do we end up with... the phone pad. Ewww... you must be just as smart as you want to act, right. I mean, getting on here and trying to insult everyone by putting up some rediculus code that can be broken by an internet translator. (whatever that is) My whole point in this was that you need to not try and act smart by doing this sort of stupid crap. How about instead of this, you actually show us how smart you are by posting something that is actually intelligent. I gotta say though, you really did get the shaft on this one cause you came on here and acted like the all mighty code man and then didnt even see the simplest code ever created. Just think about this sort of little "set back" next time you wanna act like there are people whom you are more intelligent than. Oh yea, my bad for not furthering the code breaking process, but then again, you didnt exactly break mine...

Well of course there are phony elements to our society. Just look at joe millionaire. None the less, I think its best to remember that if you are genuine then there is nothing to worry about because the phonies will never be able to anticipate what your gonna do, hence, they will always be one step behind no matter what the subject. Plus, the phonies have to spend all their time watching others to learn whats cool, while the rest of us are having fun. I mean, if you worried about doing whats cool, then you are never gonna be able to do something individual. Sorry if Ive strayed off topic, but to conclude this on topic, I wanna say that there always has been and always will be phonies. The question is... can you pick them out, and if not, maybe you should ask yourself if your one of them.

Well I can say for sure that there are people like you because Ive met plenty of girls just like you. I am your guy counter part for the most part. I would only suggest to you that you live your life with who you really are in mind and never stray from that. I never got girls and then one day I snapped. I started letting everyone see what a geek I was... before a year had gone by I had the best girl friend a guy could ask for. (truth is, she could have done much better) So just remember that there are guys out there that feel similar to you and those guys are the ones to keep your eyes on. Not the jerky popular fellas, cause those guys care about all the stuff you dont want them to worry about.

Actually, I would say that you solved nothing. (sorry about that) But it seems you also contradicted yourself. First you said 2 time lines. Then you explain the one with gokou and gohan. Then you explain the one future trunks came from. Then you explained the other (third one) which cell came from. All in all, I would say the same thing I said before about this topic. But off of topic I wanna mention that no matter what timeline anyone is in, the same people are there. So with frieza being in cells timeline, and the little observation bug going to namek and collectin samples, I would say that there is no problem with cell having friezas dna. I also most importantly wanna mention that you need to seperate different Ideas. Using paragraphs isnt a bad idea, and its a requirment on these boards which ask for nothing less than something close to proper essay format and english. (I dont mean to be harsh, but I used to do the same thing until I was threated repeatedly with being banned. Over grammar! yea I know its harsh, but it really happened.) So try and clean up your post a bit. (that was directed to L.A. rod. of course) and remember that this is nothing personal.

I would not only say the same thing as death knight, but I would also say you are foolish to believe an obscure code test is a way of testing someone elses intelligence. Most importantly, the above thread is a perfect way to show just how arrogant you may be. I also wanna know about code 2. Is that supposed to be a 7 and then a 9 or a 79. Also, most codes have an end goal. You know, figuring out a pattern or a language or a specific sentence. No code of any sort is thrown out to the intended recipient without some sort of key or, as I said before, end goal. Random code decifering is not a be all and end all sorting system to find out who is intelligent. If I was you, I would use that intelligence you claim to have and listen to what people have to say. Judging someone on what they say is a better way to estimate the intelligence of an individual than playing games with ramdom codes. I also wanna ask you if you can decode my little test for you. Its actually far more simple than anything you put up. So lets see if you can get it... 4,2, 4,2, 9,6,8, 3,6,6,5 6,6,9, 8,3,5,5, 6,3 4,3, 9,6,8,7, 2,7, 7,6,2,7,8, 2,7, 9,6,8, 8,4,4,6,5 Plus, even if you do get that, it took no time to make and really is nothing in terms of required intellectual power. I hope you do get it... because if you dont you will truely be the fool of the boards. Good luck, although I seriously doubt you will need it. Also, I would like it if this code was only replied to by the evil cow pie. ----------------------- Hot damn piro that was awesome. good job. (referring to the below post)

I am now really happy because of what you (asuka) just said. could you talk alittle more about what the deal is with this new network. Thanks

I think that AT will forever be in the light of db, but that is probably not a bad thing to him. The way I see it, he had made other series before db and those got a lil bit of attention. So with those series alone he was an accomplished "creator." But then after all of that, he creates db and instead of that being a standard for him to try and make it up to again, it becomes a life acheivment that puts him in a class all his own. Maybe if he created db before the other stuff... Then it would create a "shadow" that he would live in. However, he created db after alot of other stuff, so instead of db being an early carrer succes sort of thing that he had to live up to, db became a crowing acheivment.

Well, that angle puts my theory in a new light. With what you said (syk3) I would have to rethink my theory for atleast a little while. Im thinking that maybe bulma would have created the time machine out of a pycho fit of creativity. See, the reason the droids wouldnt be in that time line is because the fore warned z fighters killed off gero. That means that the warning came from trunks and since bulma knew that she invented a time machine in one dimension, she would probably invent one just to invent what she saw to be a machine that changes the history of the world. Then again, I dont really know what to say other than, "I give up." Its just too hard to sit here and try to discuss time travel in an educated way.

Well hey hey hey, wait a minute. I didnt do this for sensless bashing of cn. (although that hasnt really happpend. Dont worry...) But, I do think that if you guys feel strongly you should hit cartoon network directly. write them. I did, and if everyone that will post did so, we might make a difference. But, since cn doesnt have reps. coming to the otaku and checking out this stuff, we need to bring it to them. So lets move it... we need to bring the fight to them. These people are big wig executives and dont play anything besides hardball. So lets throw some fast balls and F these muthas up. (exscue my language, but I really care about this.) So... hup to. Now move it. Maggot (in a drill instructor-ish voice)

Hey now, I love using that girl xaioyu, she rocks. I love her styles and ability to decieve. I am mostly a lei, jin, paul and xaioyu guy. But I sure love to use just about everyone. My thing is that I have lost my love for tekken simply because I dont have any friends to play against or build up my skills with. So that gimp *** computer, even on the hardest, is just way too easy. It ends up making tekken 4 an easy game with no replay value. Any suggestions from you guys on how to find my love again would be great. Otherwise I just might have to give v.f. a try.

Alright everyone... I know this might not be cool, so tell me and I will delete it. Please dont close this, just let me delete it. Anyway, us anime otakus face an epidemic of black death proportions. Cartoon network is doing the worst... ending inu yasha, and re airing cowboy bebop for the 5th or 6th time. I think they should keep inu, and loose cb to make room for reign. What I ask in this thread is that everyone come on here, give your opinion of this exact subject and please show strong opinions. I want this to be something of a petition so that one of the more technically literate otakus, can link this thread to cartoon network and hopefully show them the amount of people that are here alone, who wish inu yasha to continue being aired. I also ask that everyone spend 10 minutes searching the cartoon network site and write cn an email expressing your own opinions of this new development. Please, we dont have long before these changes occur, but we can still make a difference. together we stand, divided we fall...

Kakarot- carrot vegeta- vegetable radditz- raddish Those are just off the top of my head. But I do believe that gohan means rice, and there are about a dozen other names that mean things. I just wanna mention that if any of you are really interested in this subject, there are about a million sites with this stuff. So do an internet search for dbz sites with name pun sections.

Although Jin-17 is most likely correct, allow me to interject another possibility. There is time line A. "A" will be the time line that future trunks came from in which gohan is killed by the droids. Time line B will be the timeline in which the series takes place with the tournament. Now, for my idea. Each time trunks came from t.l. A, it created a new timeline. So when trunks came to t.l. B and warned everyone, and then returned to t.l. A, it created another possible time line. (this will be t.l. C) Time line C is specifically the time line that never was showed, but what I am thinking is that t.l. C is the timeline which was created from t.l. B, only instead of trunks coming back a second time while the z fighters were fighting Gero, trunks never came back. Hence, gero is killed, and the droids (17, 18) are never released. Then, 15 (or what ever number) years later, cell awakens and comes out to find his droids. Only he doesnt find the droids. So he finds trunks and kills him, steals his time machine and travels back to t.l. B. So, my point is that when trunks came back the first time, it created a possibility of 2 different timelines. The show follows the one of those which leads to gero getting whipped on. Then when trunks decided to come back again, the timeline split again. This time it created 1 timeline in which trunks prevents geros demise (which we saw). The other time line, is the one which continued on as if trunks hadnt come back again. This is the one that cell travels through time from. I know that probably didnt make sense, but if you didnt get it, then ask, because I like the theory and would like to try and explain it more.

I am a "passionate" person by the accounts of others. In another way, people say Im emotional. I would say Im just an average guy. In all honesty I would say that I am the guy girls didnt like in highschool. Although, I am also a guy that doesnt care any more. Ive become a person who is happy and proud to admit that Im a geek. For the most part, I dont really know how others look at me. Some see a fat boy, some see a smarty. I see myself, an Irish American 21 year old male. I care about everything others have to say, but at the same time, I dont care. In the end, I just hope that I dont have to deal with everyone elses opinions of myself. I would prefer others see me for what I am, and eventually, after meeting me, they would see me as a good person. (hopefully) Also, soon enough, all of you will get to see who I am... Ive got pictures that are soon to be developed as well as a newly hooked up scanner. Hope I get to post the pics soon. till then... my name will do.

PS2 is with no doubt a great system. Totally worth the 200 dollars, but dont pay any more than that. Its 199.99 every where. As for the game play and graphics... I believe the graphics of the ps2 are great. I do however believe that in about 3 years game development will be at a new level, which will allow systems like the game cube and the xbox to take advantage of their amazing processing power. However, it is important to think about the overall. I believe sony is the way to go based on the fact that the graphics are good on any standard, and the game selection and variety is far wider than the other systems. Lots of games and up to date graphics make for a winner in my book.

Well, actually, buu didnt become "weaker" in phisical strength. What happend was... when buu absorbed the kai it gave him a hint of goodness in his heart. This translated to restraint in his fighting. Holding back can make you appear weaker. Just as with the "mystic buu," after gohan had been absorbed, buu had more strength than ever, but because of his absorbed victims buu had a hint of goodness which prevented him from achieving his full power. Where as, after everything was expelled from buu, and kid buu was in existance again, buu was more dangerous than ever, because he was pure evil with no good at all. This meant he had nothing in him holding him back and nothing to restrain his dark power. Of course, it is important to recognize that this is all theoretical and discussions of the phisics of buu have occurred before. So my opinions are theory to only be taken as a possibility, nothing more. There is no definitive word on this, and so, no matter what people here think, the phisics, mentality and gross power abilities of buu are still an unknown.

Actually the difference is about 5 years. Bulma and yamcha were about 17 during a db tournament when they found out gokou was 12. Plus, the idea of yamcha being younger looking than gokou is an interesting one, because saiyans do not age the same way as humans. Saiyans have a much longer "prime" of their lives and appear to age at a much slower rate than humans. Thats why chi chi looked so much older while gokou didnt change at all. (although, artistically he did change) So for yamcha to appear younger is just a coincedental thing. He is older, yes, and he is a human, so he does age more dramatically. Sooo... this is probably a thing that is for each of us individuals to decide on. Its nothing written into the story though.

I agree with Valick. Energy is something that must exist. I just dont see how people could live with out some sort of energy. Biology recognizes the existance of energy. I think its called "ATP" and something else. Its the energy cells create after taking in a material and converting it into energy to live. Sorta like the way humans eat and turn food into energy to live. Sorry, but I actually failed biology in college. (only took it once) Either way, I believe energy exist. Whether tangible or not. Its there.

Flying and strength beyond the limits of human beings. I also think that its sorta silly to think about it because none of us will ever be able to fly. I would rather have the qualities in dbz that no one ever cares for...pure heartedness. Gokou's heart is what I would wish for. Innocence and a never ending wealth of love and generosity. That is what I would wish for... having a heart of gold.

Hot Damn, this is amazing. I love it. I cant believe that you put this thread up. I remember this movie from when I was younger and it was so odd and funny it never left my mind. Good call on thread topics. credit is due, and so... you get credit from me. Of course I dont know how to express that... sorry.
