Thats exactly what it was as far as I remember... Think I saw it here. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Well, I guess you could create a batch file to do it and put it in the startup folder on the start menu Other then that build a program to do it manually I guess. Cheers, Ryan Jones

It depends, on work experience I asked this exact question and the technician said that the company used an optical system to handel it because it can carry a huge data load and multiple loads at once. Other then that I have no idea unless its something simmilar to how one cna use broadband and the phone at the same time? Edit: Maybe this an help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephone_switchboard Cheers, Ryan Jones

Scientists have long known that the ozone layer was being damaged by CFC's, but little was done until recently. In 1987, 180 countries signed what is known as the Montreal Protocol - it was designed to control the emmisions of ozone depleting products such as CFC's. Recent scientific reports have shown that there has been a positive reaction to this and the atmosphere is showing early stages of ozone regenreation. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/05/060510094508.htm - Ryan Jones

Yea... the equilibrium for the reaction would shift to try to counter act the change... so when the equilibrium is exothermic in its forward direction and takes up energy in the reverse reaction as it tried to counter act the change to the system... its actually pretty facinating Cheers, Ryan Jones

Depends, the elctron normally is "pulled" more towards the most electronegative element, in this case its complety pulled away from the sodium forming a nodium ion. As Woelen pointed out this is the latter of the two extemes, this is where the difference in electronegativity is high enough for the electron to actually become detatched from one ion and is pulled too the more electonegative element. So the answer to your question, if I understand what your asking, if chlorine and in general it "moves closer too" the more electronegative element If your interested the following links may help you understand... http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/bonding/ionic.html#top http://www.chemguide.co.uk/atoms/bondingmenu.html#top (In general) Cheers, Ryan Jones

I think I undertstand. OK yes you are correct, Sodium wants to attain a more stable state by loosing its outer s-shell electron and chlorine wants one more so it takes this electron. Think of it this way, all reaction involve a movement of electrons, in this case from the Na to the Cl - they are more stable with a complete electron shell so they like to stay that way. How ever the nature of the ions means that they will attract one and other and form a strong ionic bond, thats why its so hard to melt salt. The Na can re-gain its electron but it does not readily do this because it "likes" its more stable state. If you say added potassium to a solution of falt you would get potassium chloride and sodium (not for long though as it would react very fast). Did that help at all? Cheers, Ryan Jones

I do not understand your question... The [ce]Cl^{-}[/ce] ion "shares" its extra electron with the sodium, they are pulled together by electrostatic attraction... Basically we hyave this: [ce]Na^{+}Cl^{-}[/ce] but as the charges are actually equal, they counter act one and other so we write just NaCl. This is a type of ionic, I do not believ eletrons are actually transfered one way or another... Can you re-phrase your question please? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Agree with encipher except for one thing, a small project like this would probably be more easily designed in C#. And I agree with Klaynos - avoid VB, it lacks power and flexability... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Maybe for its military origins? Cheers, Ryan Jones

Woelen, could it be said that in an exothermic reaction such as this one the reactants "try to move" into a more stable forms, in the change over the energy difference between the reactants and the products is the heat loss, [math]\Delta H[/math]? If correct then the reverse could be said for the endothermic reactions, the prodcuts are actually energetically less table the the reactants as they have taken in energy from the environment and gained energy... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Cancer is one of those most feared diseases, having no known cure and being almost impossible to get rid of... but an unusual breakthrough in the study of mice with cancer has shown that it may be possible to cure cancer in people! Scientists have injected white blood cells from mice that became resistant to cancer into mice that were known to have cancer, and in a short space of time these white blood cells killed the cancer - and even more than that, it actually prevented mice that should have caught cancer from actually getting it! This is a stunning breakthrough, as this means theoretically that if we can understand the mechanism by how this works it could potentially open the door and finally make cancer a disease that we can win the battle against. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/05/060509094714.htm - Ryan Jones

Super conductors are the wannabe "hot shots" of the electricity world - they could potentially revolutionize the face of electronics as we know it, if only we had some that worked near room temperature. Scientists are currently in an all out search to find the superconductor that works at the highest temperature and a new discovery is set to break the current record. This new superconductor is known as lithium monoboride (LiB) and should be stable and superconductor at temperatures greater than 39 degrees Kelvin! That may not seem like much, but in the world of super conductors that’s a very high temperature. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/05/060508164220.htm - Ryan Jones

Some of it probably is, not shure exactly how much of it though. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Actually I think they have: http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/visualcsharp/ I think every variation is now available fre of charge, its lacking some features but most people would not miss those anyway. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Good luck' date=' your talking to a person who has to use a computer to do exams because his writing is so bad no-one can read it even after 4 years of attempted hand-writing correction courses... I lie, my english spelling and grammar is not [i']that[/i] bad... I am just not very good at writing stuff... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Hope you don't mean me... 1. I suck at spelling. 2. I suck at grammar. 3. I lack creativity in writing... I like reading things but writing them is not my thing Cheers, Ryan Jones

Personally I'd just grab a book and start reading... always a great way to pass the time and learn something while I'm at it... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Sounds like an idea... Cheers, Ryan Jones

Oh great.. even better. Another pyromaniac out to make it harder for home chemists to get the supplies that are already very hard to get ahols of Cheers, Ryan Jones

Maybe people would take more notice of warnings if people talked like this - Na I think not Tip for the OP, search in the chem section and see what happens to threads like this... they are get locked and filed away. Cheers, Ryan Jones

Scientists have found that about 20% of people of an African descent have a potentially deadly protein called Caspase-12. This protein is quite a nasty character as it has the ability to completly shut down the body's immune system... this could possibly lead to some nasty developmnets in the near future. There are many questions that still have to be answered, such why only African populations have this enzyme. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/05/060506234925.htm - Ryan Jones

I don't think ID will never be a science as its not based on science at all if there is some creator behing the whole thing... some part of the formulations will always be missing because of the creator element and untestable as a result... its not and will never be a science believe.
