The big bang was not caused by a large star. Think for a second about how large the star would have to be (to be stable and still be a star) to store all the matter and energy IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE. I'd recommend getting out your handle google.com and run some searches.

What ever happened to privacy?

MA is mathematics error (usually something like division by 0). I think Syn is syntax error, like an error in parenthesis. Another common error is overflow, which means your number is too large.

oh ok. I wasn't sure about that.

Wolfson is right. Using a defib during asystole (completely stopped) is mostly useless. I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it could help, but it's supposed to be used during ventricular fibrillation (hence "defibrillator"). It can also be used in some other rythms. From my limited understanding, many people go into ventricular fibrillation before asystole. It is during this time that they are "pulseless" but the heart is still reacting to electrical signals. Most defibrillators these days are automated. You turn the thing on and it gives you instructions on how to place the pads on the persons chest. From there it takes over and decides whether or not to shock, and whether or not to administor CPR. Typically, if the person is in ventricular fibrillation (or another shockable rythm), the unit will shock once using 200 joules. If no change in rythm is detected, it will up the shock to 300 joules. If there still is no change in rythm, it will up to 360 joules [the numbers vary depending on the machine]. If all three fail, it will tell you to begin CPR for one minute. After a minute, it will try another three shocks. After 6 shocks, the EMT's and Paramedics will continue CPR until they reach the hospital, where the person can be pronounced dead.

I dunno, probably anything over a Tesla could be "felt". http://www.hfml.sci.kun.nl/froglev.html (note: that figure was a wild guess, but 16 Tesla floats a frog)

or top 5 ??

Higher frequency of vibration, that is.

I would guess that smaller (thinner) vocal chords result in a higher pitch because of the higher frequency. Just like a thin guitar string..

The government agreed that all landmines from now on would be tracked by US forces, and would deactivate themselves over a certain period of time. I lean towards this view rather than banning them outright. As they pointed out, they are being used more discriminantly.

Well then, that furthers my point that owning a gun is, in fact, more freedom than not being allowed to own one. Safety does not equal freedom. That aside, I do not own a gun to use just in case someone else happens to threaten me with a gun. I own a gun so that if a man steps inside my house and threatens my family, be it with a gun, a butcher kinfe, or his own hands, I can defend my family and property with lethal force. Thus it is moot whether or not the rest of the population owns guns. I own them to protect myself from whatever may threaten me.

I'm not sure if your argument was directed at him only, or the general gun-owning US population, but the right to own a gun is assurance that I am free to protect my own life with deadly force. I do not have to rely on the government or others around me to defend my right to live in the most dire time. Of course, you may argue that you have the same right to defend yourself, but you are not allowed to do it with such efficiency that I am. A gun levels the playing ground. Your government does not trust you with guns. +1 Freedom for me.

Marriage is a church function, civil union is what the government handles. I say let the churches decide if they want to marry people.

Solar Flare?

Hrm... I'm not sure off the top of my head, but I think your best bet would be to create the carbanion and carbocation. I'll need to look at it a bit. Any alkyl chain at either of the methylene sites right?
