Cap'n Refsmmat

I'd hesitate to call people "too old" -- McCain is 71, and Reagan was 69 when he was first elected.

If you would care to discuss your infractions and what you have been doing wrong, I encourage you to private message me or one of the other moderators. You will achieve nothing by making threads such as this one. If there are problems with the way we run the site I would love to correct them. However, the problem instead seems to be your attacks on other members (not just in the post you were infracted for but in others -- and no, I don't care who started it) and insistence on bringing your hypotheses into scientific threads. Please take a careful look through the forum rules and the posts you were issued infractions for and get back to me or another mod.

I just had vBulletin run a recount (and the Supreme Court didn't have to be called in). If it keeps happening, I'll have to start beating it with a stick.

That depends on the computer you're using. Generally Ubuntu's pretty good at figuring out what it needs and installing it; otherwise, look around on http://ubuntuforums.org for details on how to get Ubuntu to work on your particular hardware. You'll have to do some research to see what specific models and manufacturers built your video card and such.

[math]\lim_{x \to 0} \frac{0}{x} = 0[/math] Which doesn't really help your point.

The angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

He's talking about 0/0, not 3/0. This case is somewhat different.

It's still a number being divided by zero. [imath]\frac{0}{0}[/imath] is basically "how many times can you put nothing into nothing?" As D H pointed out, the answer isn't only 1, it's "as many times as you want".

There are free Internet services that'll check a website to see if it's still up. You could set up DynDNS on your computer and then use one of them. I've used HostTracker before.

There's a LaTeX tutorial available.

One would expect that a peer-reviewed trial would have its statistics examined by someone who knows what he's doing.

Is this a homework question or just a brainteaser? All you have to do is remember that the interior angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

You won't find many ISPs that'll give you a static IP. You may be able to use DynDNS to get away with a dynamic IP while hosting your site, though.

Cholesterol in foods does not have a significant effect on blood cholesterol, last I heard.

I don't think you would be able to tell unless you know what the chemicals you're mixing are. As for the mass problem: Your new substance can't magically weigh more unless it's reacted with the air and captured some air molecules that make it heavier.

Yes, it's perfectly possible that some of the liquids turned into gas (the bubbles you saw) and left the container. Some of the mass of the liquids flew away into the room's atmosphere.

Only if SFN can get 10% of it.

I know you could pull it off with a supersaturated liquid. The effect would be just as crazy when you try to drink it.

I might point you to the Homework Help rules. We won't do your work for you. We can certainly help, but we're not going to help you cheat.

Is intelligence problem-solving ability? I just don't think there's any good definition of "intelligence", so there really can't be any good measure of it.

Unless IQ really isn't an accurate measure of intelligence. Who said that "intelligence" is being able to solve the type of problems they have on IQ tests?

There are no A-levels in America. American universities may recognize your scores, but American students applying to the same university will not have any A-levels to submit. The school's only way to compare you with other students would be the SAT.

It's not unheard of for journals to charge authors for their publications. I know PLoS does it.

When you're 200 miles up in orbit around the Earth, you still experience Earth's gravity. Remember that objects in orbit are traveling at something like 17,000 miles per hour sideways -- if there was no gravity they'd just fly right past the moon. Gravity keeps them orbiting the Earth in a fairly circular path.

There's no need to be condescending. This will be much easier for all of us if the conversation stays nice and civil.
