About the “famous equations” thing: I’ll see what I can think up.

I also got some shockwave-related box when I first went to Skepchick. Maybe my computer needs to be thrown out the window. I’ve also been having recurring problems with “not responding” despite my doing all the Windows XP fixer-uppers – a pain because it takes forever to post. Could be an E-Machines issue too. It doesn’t help my getting ticked-off about everything. I post embedded videos all the time elsewhere and have never gotten the “illegal operation plug-in” box. Confounds me. ???

It might be a Flash issue (due to the embedded videos I’ve posted recently, at a guess). What browser were you using?

It seems like Steven Novella has unending patience to deal with Egnor; it’s as if he’s talking to a poor student who refuses to listen. It appears to me that the ID Creationists, et al., keep moving the language goalposts because they really don’t know WTF they’re talking about. If one doesn’t have their feet on the ground to begin with, it’s no wonder they keep spewing tangled nonsense. And they are hopeless with metaphors and analogies.

When I first viewed here I got a grey box “Illegal operation in plug-in.” Do you know why that might have happened? Other than knowing my HTML tags, my PC knowledge is scant.

Too, can you some day parse out a few famous equations, so I stop looking at them like Calvin. (-:
