  1. Two wrongs don't make a right no matter how you try to justify it. Just because Hamas takes innocent lives does not make it OK to punish any other innocent people for it. IMO, the Israeli tactics are just helping to convince new, undecided terror recruits to join the likes of Hamas.
  2. No. The theory of evolution has nothing to do with the big bang theory. Creationists are offended that mankind may have evolved from an earlier life form. Science does not claim this as a fact even though it does claim that there is enough avidence to claim that some evolution is a fact. Creationists tend to believe that it's strictly black and white, either there was creation or there is evolution. Scientists know better. We can only theorize about things we can't proof by proffering hypotheses based on our observations. Then again, creationists even get antsy about hypotheses that suggest any possibility that man was not created, they tend to be very close-minded.
  3. Drill some holes in it and drive some tapered punches in them to crack it. Rent a hammerdrill or use a star drill to make the holes. Once you drilled the holes you could also wait for freezing weather and fill the holes with water.
  4. Yeah, which model? Mine's a K&E Duplex Decitrig.....
  5. No. That would require me to read your mind to find the efficiency and size of the powerstation you are asking about. It would also require me to assume some unit of measure to answer your question with when there is no particular unit of measure for a quantity of steam. This might produce something you could find useful though...http://www.google.com/search?q=steam+turbine+calculations
  6. You seem to be asking for proof that evolution is more than it is. Evolution is simply a theory about the various change and adaptation of species over time. It is not necessarily a theory about the origin of life. Aside from questions like, "how did life begin?", we know that adaptive and mutative changes happen in species without doubt; it is a fact. A new flu vaccine is needed every year as a result such change; the flu evolves, no doubt about it. On questions like "how did life begin?", "where did we come from?", "why are we here?", the answer is "we don't know". The theory of evolution does not claim to provide proof of any answers for such questions like some postulate. These are the questions that much of the alleged "evolution vs creation" debate boils down to. Scientists say, "we don't know", creationists say "god did it". Objectively now, which group can claim they are undoubtedly correct, the "we don't know"s or the "god did it"s?

    I realize you explained it but it still seems like you are Eric to me....Oh, BTW, if that other site is ignoring you I wonder why you are not listed as banned there anymore. Did you ask them to get back in with another chance as well?

    Here's an example of his behavior elsewhere...http://www.scienceforums.com/physics-mathematics/489-theory-flexon-energy.html
  10. Actually, when you think of boiling water, you think of bubbles coming to the top. Where do the bubbles come from? They form at a nucleation site. Usually this consists of a small flaw in the container or a seam--say, where the sides meet the bottom--but it could also be turbulence in the water due to convection. Such a flaw or turbulence is common in teapots or saucepans used to boil water on the stove. However, when you are boiling water in a microwave, you are probably using a ceramic mug, which is much smoother and may not have a good starting point for nucleation. On top of that, a microwave oven heats more or less uniformly, so the amount of convection and turbulence in the water is greatly reduced. Without nucleation, the water just gets hotter and eventually becomes superheated; that is, it exceeds the normal boiling point for water without actually boiling. This is when things can get touchy. If you move the cup around a bit, or drop a teabag into it, or put your spoon in to stir it, or whatever, you can provide the nucleation site the water has been looking for. So it turns from a superheated liquid to a boiling one--quickly. Usually, this will just mean it boils over the top of the cup, in which case you'll only be burned if you happen to be holding it (such as if you took it out of the microwave and jostled it enough to start it going). It could also splatter a bit, just as a pot of boiling water occasionally throws up some scalding drops. But it's not going to "blow up" and throw all the water into your face. See the Straight Dope for more....
  11. The basic building block of life is the cell. There are no cells in the internet.
  12. http://www.openoffice.org/
  13. Here's a nice site? Maybe he should have placed his site in another country that's not so paranoid of information.
  14. Did you try it after the date changed?
  15. I recommend OnTrack. I've used their EasyRecoveryPro to retrieve files for my clients for years.

    Sudoku

    Yeah, the whole thing took about 20 minutes. I started by deducing the location of the 4 and the 6 in the leftmost column.
  17. It looks like maybe the server config could be contributing, i.e. Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2 mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.11 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_bwlimited doesn't allow bandwidth bursts so intermittent high volume will get a server busy.
  18. Can we assume those tests don't include spelling? (standardised)
  19. No, you just need to realize that it doesn't mean what you say it means. Help does not mean doing your work for you.
  20. Your homework is your responsibility. If you want to ask for help on what material to study so that you can do your homework then shoot. Don't ask for actual answers for your homework though 'cause you ain't gettin' 'em.
  21. I use wdasm and vi. Knowledge of assembly is required though. A disassembler does not yield source code, only decompiled assembly language.
  22. Hi. A 40 something science buff here....
  23. Some see it as "treah". They are the ones for which god exists as poodles, german shepherds, dachsunds, etc....
  24. I saw a girl on T.V. that could write with both hands and both feet simultaneously. The show was 'Real People' or something like that.
