I hope you aren't doing your financial stuff on XP..

Superfluous pedantry gets on my nerves too.

I suspect wtf was using the word 'monkey' generically, to which, included the whole class of ape-like creatures..

OK. I'm just trying to give a bit more detail than has already being given. I'll leave it to you because you know much more than I do on this.

I thought that was the reason for the message when I saw a thread on Google forums. I also read that Firefox on XP is only supported until September this year. Opera are still supporting XP, which has the Chrome engine.

You've never seen a heated coil?

They probably didn't know where to put it and it's no less a good question or idea for being here. Just because most of the stuff here is crap doesn't mean yours is.

Then your lack of life experience is becoming more evident. I wish I could be young again... when I knew everything and it was all so clear.

We are trying to have a serious conversation here... let's keep it real.

I was kidding really, based on I tend to think of holes as somewhere around vertical.

I'm on about the photons that are released into the environment in sentence. Not savvy on phonons but that's something to do with lattice vibration, isn't it; they are part of what's going on inside the wire? We've got to bear in mind the OP knows very little about this, so a complete description is not going to be possible in a few posts and talking about exotic phenomena is not going to help them.

Although I have expressed this thought, I am open to discussing changing the statistic. Hyper's anecdote seems to suggest there maybe a bigger problem than i realised but nobody's yet coming up with a way forward. It'll take a long time, probably a couple of generations, when the youngsters who want the change are pulling the levers of power, just like with gay equality, which has taken 40-50 years to to get where it is today.

The more electrons you try to draw through a particular diameter of wire, in any given unit of time, the hotter the wire will get because there's more collisions occurring with the ions in metal. The number of collisions increases with narrower wires and, also, longer wires than shorter wires because the incidence of collisions still increases These collisions cause electrons to be temporarily excited to a higher energy state. When they drop back down again to a lower energy state they release a photon. That photon is your heat. Think of resistance as the degree of obstruction to the free flow of the electrons.

It can happen to the best of us.

What Windows version are you using? Here's a link to the Chrome standalone installer. Make sure you have rebooted after any attempt at rectifying,.. Windows needs to do this sometimes to complete an operation, especially an uninstallation.

Good. Ideally, when you have the time, reinstall Windows then make an image to a separate hard drive or flash, if it's big enough. If you ever get malware you can use the image and be done in much less time than a reinstall. Macrium Reflect Free is free and extremely reliable; i've been using it for 10 years. If you leave settings on default it will just image the actual information and not the empty space, so it saves lots of space on your storage drive and compresses it. 25GB of info takes about 12 mins to restore on 2GHz CPU and 4GB memory and is compressed to about 9GB for storage..

Is it Chrome-specific? If it's a proper virus/malware, a reinstall is the only way to go really.

A lateral 'hole' is a 'tunnel'.

If the OP is about the odds of randomly writing Hamlet, is it reasonable to constrain the amount of possible writing space to that of Hamlet?

I think this is his naivete coming to the fore. It is one of the great injustices that people who 'keep house' are treated with lower status than people who earn the money. Is the denial amongst those that can initiate the changes; the ones pulling the levers?

I may be one of the three you mention but I've also put forward thoughts on engineering a change, if that's the consensus desire. Life is the way it is and if you want to change it you've got to change the ground conditions. I was rather hoping this discussion would be about solutions, but, as ever, it's just mutual wringing of hands. Edited in missing words.

Save your bookmarks, if you want, and delete your google folder in C: > Users > Your Name > AppData > Local > Google. Appdata is a hidden folder that can be revealed by showing hidden folders first in the 'View' menu of Explorer. This will give you a vanilla copy of Chrome or you can re-download Chrome, after uninstalling it, if you want to be sure. When you uninstall Chrome the normal way, the Google folder is never deleted, you have to do it manually. That's why some PUP's (potentially unwanted programs) persist after installing a new copy of Chrome. Google try to hang onto your trackable information, and anything else that be parked in there, by not deleting that folder.

The problem with discussing this subject is that it always gets stuck on the effects and seeking evidence that it exists and, subsequently, never moves on to discuss possible paths to adjust the difference. I agree with Dr Krettin: what's the problem? The 20% reflects the present general inclination of women towards this subject. The present system filters only for those women that that have a strong passion for the subject and not the in-betweeners as well, like it does men. Two contradictory statements? No, because if you want to see more women in physics, do something about it and change the landscape so that interest may be fostered in them at an age where they are likely to be receptive.

Can't two-photon physics produce an electron-positron pair; matter?

I've thought like this too but then I think; would it be better to socially engineer more women into the discipline, since they think slightly differently and may offer more possibilities of novel solutions to existing problems in physics and subjects where physics is applied?
