The scientific epistemology that I like is that of Otto Neurath: we are building a ship at sea. We stand on the parts that float best at any moment, and try to improve the leakiest bit. There is no dry-dock, no firm foundation on which to construct systematically a stable structure. Epistemology is Waterworld.
That analogy was in Quicksilver too - I never realized Stephenson didn't invent it.

Thuryl was a mod. Kel is a mod. I am a mod. We all request you to please shorten your exceedingly long signature. It is probably a good idea to do so before an admin asks you, because he won't ask twice (nor, presumably, nicely).

In the beginning, I thought it was me, because for some reason I've been called "nondescript" fairly often. But I'd hardly break into my own website. :P

Indeed. Fauna is for critters.

The fruit looks a bit like an apricot to me.

Can you name a more exact size? Apricots are about 4-5 cm in diameter, fairly small.

Note the groove running along the fruit. Your picture seems to show a few of those too, but it could just be a shadow...

As if spirituality would somehow betray science and Science is not their religion.
You can argue, from a purely subjectivist point, that all these ways to look at the world are internally consistent (while the scientific view adjusts its theories to fit perceived facts, the spiritual one redefines perception to match its theories). You can redefine "faith" to encompass all of them. But after all of these, you still cannot equate drivel with reality.

Internet meme.

Quirky numbers like 4444, 4096 etc. are technically okay too, but a) not when there are already several milestone topics on the first page, and b) not when you're celebrating the decimal ones as well.

There are just too many funny numbers for every member to post whenever they reach one. It is well known that as n approaches infinity, the size of the set {f | f ? Funny and 0 < f < n} approaches infinity as well. All I'm asking for is some common sense.

Oh, don't worry. I just hadn't seen this one yet.

To put at least a limit on the number of content-free topics: Post-count celebration is only allowed on arbitrary multiples of powers of ten. This message was brought to you by the Tyranny of the Decimal System.

Quite so. This is amazingly, gratuitously redundant. Superfluously so, in fact.

Dikiyoba: Marlenny has used more than one account. (Although 391 now belongs to Tyran). Perhaps that is the source of the deja vu?

Pretty much, yeah. I was thinking Logo too, but that doesn't really work the same way as Tyran works for SV or Djur for Desp. Although if I remember the history (which predates me, as said), he did lead the original crew.

Jewels: I'd just suggest splitting away the most useful services (PPP and EE) from the monolithic rest. :)

Also: Hoping nobody would notice the omission of Desp? That's like saying "I think Kelandon is loads better than that stuffy philosophizing martyr person" and hoping the thread doesn't become a shouting match.

(Well, back before TM got banned.)

I am flattered, but you got the Polaris one wrong. Not only didn't I found it, it predates my arrival on Spiderweb by quite a while. And even now, I'm the newest admin on the team and I'm not the one paying the hosting.

Oh, and [insert unflattering acronym for BoAC] still exists?

Haha yea it is good. Have you (and for that matter anyone else who has read it[which I strongly suggest you do]) read the second one? It was still really funny with John antics but it was about 1/4 the length. Still, it's definitely something you should read if you enjoyed the first.
I started on the sequel. Before I get much further into it though, I would like a spoiler - does Amy die?
