I'm guessing you missed the 69 references listed on that page.

Gravity is dependent on the mass of the Earth, not its size.

Huh? All I could find there was challenges for javascript. Where did you find a Java section?

Try http://www.utas.edu.au/infosys/info/documentation/C/CStdLib.html

This Quick Reference card(pdf file) has that for the most popular functions. You could also refer to the Standard C Library Manual all on 1 page.

Use a rheostat if you want to use a single load limiting device in the circuit, it will handle more power dissipation than a potentiometer. Alternatively you could limit the max load with a 25W ballast resistor of about 25Ω in series with a 0-200Ω potentiometer.

You proposed a worthless experiment in regards to space that is not worth explaining and is off topic. Your experiment is simply about a pressurized gas in a closed vessel that is crushed by the weight of the water column above it. The outcome of that experiment would tell you nothing about 'space' and says nothing about the thread topic, "What is an absolute vacuum?" This has been answered already. If you want to debate the composition of space then you need to start a thread in the speculations forum because that discussion would be nothing but speculation.

Are you presenting this personal opinion piece as some some sort of alleged evidence of something? You cannot use someone else's unsupported opinion as factual evidence for your own unsupported opinion. There is ZERO evidence that space itself is anything more than a volume that everything else occupies.

Is there some point to repeating what I said and then acting as if it's not true? I was simply pointing out to rigney that 'space' itself cannot be evacuated.

Empty space is already an absolute vacuum, there's nothing there to evacuate.

Use a fast helix bit for the cleanest cut, preferably with a downward spiral.

I said that based on:

False! Courthouses and Justices Of The Peace perform civil marriage ceremonies all of the time. Further, marriage itself pre-dates recorded history. It existed long before church ceremonies.

It has physical attributes, it has volume. That depends on who you ask. Philosophers have long debated that question. For me, it is a volume of nothing. That response kind of raises another question for me though. I'm wondering now, if I had a transparent, hollow sphere that had been totally evacuated of all matter I would have a container full of space at an absolute vacuum. Now, if I pass light, i.e. photons, through that sphere is it still an absolute vacuum inside?

A volume of space that is totally devoid of any matter would be an absolute vacuum, complete and totally empty space.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Laval_nozzle The restriction can be as short as an orifice but that affects the rate of energy loss. The ratio of energy loss and pressure between the upstream and choked flow sections will limit the venturi effect and the cross sectional area of the venturi will affect this as well. For a given ratio there will be an optimum area for the venturi and it won't matter if it's one big tube or divided into smaller tubes.

There is, been there. Some redneck with horns told me only idjits was allowed there, kicked me out and told me I was barred.

Waste of time...the problem was algebraically proved impossible by Wantzel (1836).

Are you computer savvy enough to temporarily remove the hard drive from the old machine to mount in the new machine? I usually do this and just copy the files from one drive to the other. Win98 did not ship with drivers for usb flash drives. You can find them on the internet though. A flash drive would be more practical for copying files than a floppy if you can't put the win98 hard drive in the winxp machine as a 2nd drive temporarily.

That's where the problem starts. How many 'I's are there in this world and what is the definition each of them thinks of?

That could be one definition. Care to enumerate all the others?

In the hydraulic industry I typically tell people that there's really no such thing as a vacuum, that it's only label for an absence of atmospheric pressure. There really is no 'vacuum power' per se because any work done with a vacuum is actually work done by atmospheric pressure.

I don't see it as proving the possibility, this threads about disproving it. Like you, I have absolutely no belief in any god or anything else supernatural but I'm not going to claim that I can prove them impossible either, especially under scientific rigor. Are you? I'm not even going to claim as a fact that they do not exist because I know that's something I can't prove. See my point? You cannot disprove the existence of gods, ghosts, unicorns, leprechauns, etc.. so the whole thread is a completely pointless debate.

So you claim the supernatural is impossible? Can you prove that?
