  1. Yes. Every body affects every other body gravitationally.
  2. See I think it should be the opposite. You should only be responsible for knowing all the little technicalities of mathematics if you're a math/physics major.
  3. 0^0 is generally given as 1; and non-integer negative values will give imaginary (multiple of the square root of -1, i) numbers... generally you just want to graph positive values, which is easily accomplished.
  4. Phalacrophobia.
  5. Not really... the eyes are the only part of the human body that get their oxygen directly from the air rather than from blood that passes through the lungs.
  6. This is another one of those things that will be revolutionized by stem cells... just wait.
  7. Human cloning WILL happen, we can either regulate it and do it safely or let the underground scientists do it with many more failures and deformities.
  8. Another update... apparently this came from a company called Mainsoft, who was licensed to have the source code for porting certain features. Also, the source code apparently is compilable as the missing headers can be found in the platform SDK.
  9. I voted for "depends" because it largely depends on the task. Generally speaking, men are better at things like math, while women are better at things that involve intensive multitasking and creativity. On the multitasking part, there is a clearly established biologocial component; in women, the corpus callosum is much larger than in men... this is the part of the brain that transfers signals from one side of the brain to the other, and subsequently women are generally better at multitasking.
  10. A web page designer that can't Google for backgrounds... interesting.
  11. ln is just a logarithm with a base of e (~2.71) instead of 10, e is just a naturally recurring number that represents the area under the curve of y=1/x.
  12. It's really not large enough to be classified as a moon, at least in the not-being-troll sense.

    I guess we're all morons then, since theres hardly a single person who hasn't broken some law.
  14. Why don't we make it even safer and stop human space fight all together. Hopefully some of our astronauts will defect to Russia an go up and save it anyway.
  15. hmm... what ever happened to mimetex..
  16. NASA didn't decide this, one man in NASA did. It's politics, not science, that are stopping them from maintaining Hubble. If the shuttle is damaged and reaches the ISS, the shuttle is lost anyway, so it comes down to the human element: I'd wager good money there's not a single astronaut who would decline to go on a Hubble service mission, and so long as the people on the mission choose to take the risk, the director of NASA should not stop it.

    Oh so you're familiar with these towns? I guess we saw different statistics, because the owns I saw showed no change either way in non-violent crime rates.
  18. I just tend to recall things with all of those... I'l remember every visual detail, every word that was said, and how I felt at the time.

    Server Speed

    Optimized. Still not faster. The speed is not at all related to our site, it's other sites on the server slowing things down for everyone.

  21. you like 10^6 being million and 10^9 being milliard? iame.
  22. Cellulose.

    Guns

    So is anyone here who opposes gun possession familiar with the several examples where towns have required BY LAW for every citizen to own a gun? Violent crime essentially disappeared.

    Guns

    What kind of gun is that in the lower left corner... I've been looking to get one like that.
  25. We will use the US number system on this site to avoid confusion. Billion is n*10^9.
