  9. I can't find my total value of transactions in the last year on my ebay. Anyone know where it is?
  10. I can't view that where I am unfortunately but I am well versed in operant conditioning. Thing is with operant conditioning is it doesnt explain anything in this situation because it is how we learn also, so cancells itself out in this circumstance. The main point is that the dog (S) ia capable of abstract concepts. The program was designed to assess abstract conception so variables were put in to test this itself. Such as adding a new object to the pile of 1000 objects and adding a new word, the asociation of new word to new object is abstract and unlearned so could not be obtained with operant conditioning in the first instance. Language is widley accepted to not be the sole possesion of the human species and this is way off topic, sorry.
  11. Thats only if it is your only source of income I believe. This whole thing is bollox, they are chaisng ebayers for tax on penuts but massive companies are getting tax credits in the millions.
  12. Thats how we learn language, through asociation, abstract asociation. Anyway I can't rememeber the exact details as I read it a long time ago. Maybe I will find it and be more acurate. Edit: here is a sorta summary of what I was on about, handily it also mentions parrots in it. I have read the whole report on this particular dog and it is (to me anyway) interesting stuff. http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2004/06/63792
  13. I get what your saying Mark and yes that is probablty true, however dogs and parrots are capable of abstract perception. For example some dogs have been shown to be able to percieve a picture of an apple as meaning you want them to find a real apple and go and get it, these were not trained actions but abstract perception. As in the dog was not trained to get an apple when the 'apple' card was held up, it did it itself. Dr Ian Dunbar also gives dogs fairly complex tasks to complete by conversing with them. For instance he will call a dog, give it a note and tell it to find Jamie (his kid) and give Jamie the note. He does this totally conversationally. Anyway not trying to hijack the thread, just thought I would point it out for no particular reason.
  14. You can absolutely teach a parrot to understand the words you are teaching it, same with dogs too, they are both capable of abstract perception.
  15. f**k knows what it was bought some fox 15mm qr forks, probrem solved.
  16. I believe it has more to do with the length of the spokes on each side. I am also a creationist, I believe man created God. Just thought I would throw that in there for some background interference.
  17. Onza tyres is indeed a company separate to Onza trials. Marco Hosel uses one on his all mountain bike. I was wondering when this would come up
  18. The metal polish worked! Nice one dude
