Here is the news!
Our scientist have recently discovered a meteor that has a diameter of many kilometers. Its on direct course for earth and will impact the planet whit in the next month. Scientist have calculated that the impact will be larger than anything known and will kill all of us! :evil:
this could have been the news before the meteor impacted the earth for 65 million years ago. if they dinosaurse had been inteligent. we are familiar whit them, does gaints that died out for 65 million years ago. wouldnt it be good to have something in the program like this? that all of a suddenly some disaster happen and kill 80% of all bots. maybe it should just pic out the survivng bots randomly. a disaster that kill most of the life give the life a chance to evolve, coz it open the possibilities. if it werent for that meteor we mammals wouldnt be the ruler of this planet. :laugh:

Damn, I guess this means all that work on 3.0 was pointless. Such a waste.
A huge disaster would be an interesting tool. You could blot out the sun (lower the light intensity) with dust and kill robots within a certain radius of a certain point.
Would be good to incorporate upkeep costs for muscles, etc. into it or you'll just end up killing all the smaller robots, which is opposite of what's supposed to happen.

"Damn, I guess this means all that work on 3.0 was pointless. Such a waste."
What do you mean Num?
-
Didn't you hear? The world is ending via a huge meteor!
-
ok

That being a reference to Zelos's original post and not anything real (don't panic!)

Repent! Repent! :lol: :D :lol:

Here is the Dino-news!
It has been 14 days since the meteor of death was discovered. Scientists have been working 20hours a day (the entire day) to find a way to stop it. But stoping it has been proved to be impossible for us. :help: They have discovered a planet in our soler system that would be able to support our lifes, the atmosphere contain carbondioxid and oxygen. That planet is the forths planet from the sun. If we could travel to that planet we would have been saved.
That is the latest news, have a happy life before we all die!
-
Someone suddenly discovers another planet? After they have the technology to detect a meteor that far out?
Well, carry on.
-
it aint so far, we are number 3, and who is number 4?
-
The red planet, Mars.
-
yes, the planet mars whit its 2 moons, phobos and diemos
-
Are you responding to me? Because I fail to see what that has to do with anything. I was just a bit skeptical that they managed to miss a planet for however many years and out of pure luck picked up a meteor on crash course to the planet.
-
Maybe it had been hiding.... like.... realy well?
Perhaps the big scary meteorite frightened it so it gave itself away
<_< PY <_<
-
well, since when have dinosaurse been know for bieng smart? they were pretty stupid
-
Dinosaurs weren't as stupid as people thought years ago. They were just very specialized. Many of them exhibited pack hunting (velociraptor) which is a very advanced behavior and takes alot of forethought and planning.
-
maybe, but they still never had a TV ;) which is much better :D
I know that some dinosaurs had "schools" they put their children in when they were hunting, some parents watched all the children while the others hunted, then they shared the food some, or took care of the parents who were watching the kids kids. but still the children never learned 1+1=2 which we humans do when we are very young, even before we speak :D
-
No one's arguing that dinosaurs were sentient, but they were actually very intelligent creatures (the Dromeosaurids anyway).
-
Stegosaurus even had two brains.
:lol: PY :lol:
-
they had 2 brains, just like us. but inteligent were they never, why doesnt we find anything that an inteligent bieng would make, if they were iteligent?
-
LOL, not like us!
Two brains - one in the head, one in the butt :)
-
Intelligent - Showing sound judgment and rationality
Sentient - Having sense perception; conscious
Some dinosaurs sentient? Unlikely (though certainly not impossible).
Some dinosaurs intelligent? Yes. Pack behavior implies the ability to work together as well as plan in the future.
Note that technology does not imply sentience, or vice versa. Our ancestors were not less intelligent or less entient than we are today, even though we have better technology. In fact, our ancestors existed for thousands of years at just about our intelligence level without anything but the most rudimentary technology.
So it is not impossible at all that some velociraptor cousin reached sentience at some point in time. However, we have no proof that sentience insures survivability. Intelligence costs alot of energy to maintain, so it is only evolutionarily advantageous to have it if it means you can find food easier.
So a sentient group of dinosaurs could have come and gone.

we humans have a brain in our butt. its alot of nervers around our tripa. which is bieng called a second brain, coz it work independed from the brain. scientist belive that the big brain, which we humans have and other animals, come from that brain. some nervers wonder from there to start a bigger brain. they belive this coz at every animal that part of the neural net is well developed, unlike the big brain
-
If this (http://www.island.net/~ipincott/article89.htm) is what you're talking about, you better rethink your position. Please don't post erroneous information :bash:
Our brain came to develop as a single conglomeration of nerve cells. They most certainly did not first develop in the butt!
As for any brain like organ anywhere in a chordata's except its head, it's a lie!
Please read this article (http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_003).

whats most important? to get energy, or analyze tha data from primetive senses which gives only little information about the sourrunding? and I am not posting erroneous information. im just posting what ive read, :angry: adn how can the brain have started evolve in the head, when tehre was no head to evolve in? first organism was primetive and had no head, like a starfish, it doesnt have a head, but still a brain :angry: :angry: :angry:
-
Hmm, thanks Nums for pointing out about the second brain myth. I was not aware that it was disproved.
By the way, when looking up info on how brains work, I've stumbled upon an interesting page, which appears to be an answer sheet to some exam. It has lots of fun info about brains: http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs182/a..._-_Solution.pdf (http://www-inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~cs182/assignments/A1_-_Solution.pdf)
-
No games, having a brain's been a total disaster for all of us - would be much happier without it. Let's just all submit our wills to the government!
-
:banghead: Lol yea , I need to wait a while before I post more stuff , ... :pengysmiley:
Bau
-
when its about the brain in the ass, how could dinosaurs get a brain in the ass from nowhere? its most lilky it evolved fromtsomething taht was already there
-
As Nums said, there was no brain in the ass. Just a bunch of nerves that happened to be bigger than real ping-pong-size brain.
-
Ganglians eh?
I just remember reading about the Steg's second brain when I was a kid. They taught it as a fact back then. Didn't realize they had decided that it wasn't in fact a brain at all until Num pointed it out.
Since then I have gone out and read over a whole bunch of the research notes.
