The speed for best mleage is around 40 - 45 mph. (flat ground at sea level) Wind resistance is low and the rolling resistance is also relatively low. Having said that, it is important to remember that the driver has the largest effect on mileage. Keeping the throttle steady and the intake vacuum as high as possible is vitally important. Gradual, smooth acceleration and gradual decelleration using as little braking as possible will do more for fuel economy than most anything else. If you leave lots of room (4 seconds) between you and the car in front of you will allow you to drive while rarely touching the brakes. In addition to the above keeping your engine tuned, air filters clean and tires inflated to the maximum will improve results. Using the lowest octane rated gas that prevents pre-ignition or detonation, and keeping excess weight out of your car will also add to your savings.

Where can I find a version of DOS that supports CD, DVD, internet brouser, and USB? Can I get the tools to format the drive and set up a functional DOS operating system that doesn't have limits of the era in which it was widely used? Paul, the 60 year old student

Religion is based in faith. science is based on facts. Faith is a belief that something is true without corroboration and in the face of evidence to the contrary - as soon as you try to provide truth it is no longer faith. Facts - especially in science change and evolve with new understanding. science therefore is not a constant. I agree that any attempt to prove a religion with science removes the credibility of both. I was not impressed with the presentations.

Most of the older and newer printers have a default of not more than .75". I don't know if that would give consistent results though because there are those of us that set the margins to less than the default - I typically use .4" margins at top and bottom with a .5" margin for left and right.

It can't capture the entire lightning bolt but it would charge to that point where the two foils and the insulation between them broke down. I would expect the "air gap" around the top of the jar would become the path of an arc once the voltage reached that potential. Is there a reason that the jar would not retain whatever energy was blow that threshold?

Look up "Leyden jar" one of the oldest capacitors that I know. Paul, the 60 year old student

Can anti-matter exist at the heat and pressure within a black hole?

It is no harder to send a microscope than it is to send a telescope. after all a microscope is just a telescope turned around... with some refinements.

I don't know about getting thing back from pawn shops for free... My brother had to buy back his gun even though it had been on the "hot list" before the shop gave the jerk money when he pawned it. That was the word from the police department - pay for it if you want it back. There are more crooks out there than the one's who steal it in the first place!

safe, effective, compact cold fusion generators.

Heavy mineral deposits are found through the use of gravity strength measuring equipment. so just standing in the right place (where the sub-terranian stata is denser) will have a higher gravitational "pull" than another less dense area at the same elevation and latitude.

consider the heat and pressure generated by the black hole at its "center". Shouldn't it be similar to what the universe was before it expanded very far? Nothing but energy compressed to a "solid liquid" form that just adds to itself with each particle that enters the event horizon.... There can't be even the most rudamentary particle left intact and it is so dense that the heat is even invisible there.

A "belly flop" at 60 mph is likely to split the skin open and leave you a mass of jelly with some manner of attachment to the bones (maybe).

Before 3000 BCE the Sumerians had a written languge and their civilization lasted through 2000 BCE. (http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/prehistory/middle_east/middle_east.html) The only history of disaster we have is a myth about a large local flood and a family who survived it. (predating the history of their language)

Even assuming a minimum terminal velocity of 60 mph, and being able to change to a vertical position with your legs crossed and entering the water feet first (reducing the impact decelleration) your death will result from the massive trauma to legs, spine, neck and internal dislocations. If you were (un) lucky enough to survive you would need critical care immediately to live more than a few minutes. Concussion, spinal compression fractures, torn internal tissues and numerous broken bones would be the minimum damage from such a fall.

I did get the help I needed and have completed the back-ups. I think I was the one that began the evolution to back problems so, I apologize for that. It takes a lot of DVDs to backup all the data but itis cheaper than buying an external drive (which I may do in the future.)

There will always be thos jobs where one must be present in order to facilitate the company's income and your own. Service and maintenance industries are just two big examples. While sales and management positions are becoming less participayory It is still an industry of relationships. It is difficult to build those relationship via telecommuting. The most effective way to eliminate the use of fossil fuels is to take advantage of the natural systems. Sunlight, wind, planys and bacteria can replace fossil fuels In answer to pioneer's statement: The organisms responsible for our fossil fuels were living - their carbon was bound in their physical bodies and remained their for millions of years. We are releasing the carbon faster than the aymosphere can recover. In addition to that we have fewer plants to recombine that carbon into biomass than ever before. The imbalance that is being created will not kill the earth but it might destroy our ability to live on the earth.

Try vinegar and salt - that will work well as an electrolyte with zinc and copper electrodes.

1 1/2, 1 1/3, 1 1/4, 1 1/5 ... You mean like this? (I realize that this is an infinite set of fractional numbers > 1 and <= 1.5)

The speed of light remains a constant but if the space it travels through is expanding it has to travel farther to get to the distant observer (us).

Fusion occurs at high pressures and high heat. (?) Is there a temperature and pressure where the atomic structure breaks down? Like what followed the "big bang"? The universe was so hot that matter could not exist, would it be conceivable that this is what happens on the 'inside' of a black hole?

Using a dual plasma rocket where one uses mater and the other uses anti-matter which combine in a mixing chamber just before the nozzle would produce the higher thrust like a chemical rocket with the economy of a plasma rocket - or would it? I know it is not currently feasible due to cost and storage problems with anti-matter but as a concept is it doable?

What, if any, is the difference between eternal and infinite. Is it that eternity has no beginning and no end but the infinite can have either or both? ie: the infinite fractional number set between 1 and 2

Why involve the government? Why not just make the changes in your lifestyle as an individual? If you get the Feds involved it will cost money for the studies, the legislation and the new departments with all the new employees to manage and enforce the paperwork and laws.

It does happen to a small degree though, which is why ballistic computers for artillary have to include the rotation of the earth in their calculations..... is this due to the longer time of flight?
