yes but you have to turn the ethanol into ethene first.

yeah well i'm assuming that the atmosphere was part of earth and had the same force applied to stop it. if it was still moving we would survive a bit longer. maybe.

i got a 5GB m:robe from olympus. it looks cool, easy to use and has one hell of a capacity. you need software to put music on but files you can just drag and drop.

well assuming the earth suddenly stopped with no force applied to the plant and animal life then we would suddenly be moving with a 32km/s relative velocity to earth. now friction with the atmosphere would vapourise us almost instantly so we wouldn't be thrown into space. some vegetetion might survive if its in the right place and maybe some microbes but the majority of life on earth would be dead. the earth is already a spaceship technically

Well we could heat the earth the same way the sun heats earth. Fusion. we make an open fusion reactorin orbit around the earth. probably an orbit that takes 24 hours to go round the earth relative to the surface(not the same as a geostationary orbit.) although by that time we might have wormhole technologies and we could jump the earth into orbit around another star.

artificial suns and underground heating.

Well the atmosphere will be stripped away at least. un less we as a species move the planet it would, as azure says, spiral ino the sun via friction with the solar atmosphere.

1. they didn't need the intelligence to survive. the fact that they survived 165million years is a good indicator of this. 2. we have no idea how intelligent they were

it knocks a layer off the wick(albeit very thin layer) that is in powder form. there is a little bit of fuel left and the surface area has increased so you will get the lare from a temporarily increased burn rate. it doesn't work for the lighter since the fuel is alreasy as dispersed as it can be and still burn. also no wick.

When the sun dies. it won't just vanish or stop having a gravitational effect. we'll still orbit the sun. although we will have been engulfed in the sun as it will expand past the orbit of earth. if were going to move the earth then we'll do it well before. the puppeteers did it in ringworld 5 worlds in a kempler rosette travelling at the speed of light.

no thats just jim. he works on the farm down the road.

No the barycenter is offset from the center of mass of the sun. everything in the solar system orbits the barycenter including the sun itself. can't actually remember how far off it is but i think its just inside the sun.

you probably know its coming when you get that pain in your chest and the tingly feeling shooting up your left arm/side.

by icons i mean the desktop icons like My Computer and My Documents in windows.

i made it in 45minutes on a flight simulator. of course that was on a suborbital trajectory with a maximum altitude of 150km(and in an ICBM type craft.) ecolis is probably about right for a 747

i'm going to guess he's using stereoscopic imaging. i've seen a few people who have claimed that they have discovered a way to make 3D images but it just turned out to be steroscopic imaging.

the fact that they are both dudes doesn't really make much of a difference. either the other guy is interested or not. i'd be wary about going for someone you know little to nothing about. chances are it'll be fine but you never know.

yeah i know about the windows being in different workspaces and all that. i have that in XP but i want the icons to be different

Thats my signature. The top one is a slogan made up by a random generator on the internet which i thought was quite funny. the second one is as glider said and the third is an inside joke with my friends that i can't actually remember putting in. i can only assume thati was drunk at the time.

I've been hypnotised and i've also hypnotised someone to some extent. i'd say it definately exists

its only safe if its a test tube(the standard ones not the bigger variety). anything larger can cause the vessel to explode. and send glass flying. not a good thing.

ok back to the origional question, sorta, right i have linux up and running but how do i set gnome so that i can have different icons in different workspaces?

yeah well i've got linux working now.

anybody else notic that that was a KFC style post with Capital Letters At The Beginning Of Every Word. ughh i feel dirty just typing like that

well we'll have molecular assemblers for that the robots can carry the food from the autokitchens to us.
