Hello, I'm having a bit of a problem. I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this in, if it's even the right website. Anyways, please answer if you can. You see, I created an HTML web page with Microsoft Notepad. I'm really proud of it, and I want to share it with the world. The only problem is, I tried finding a free domain hoster, but nothing worked for me. I'm not familiar with the computer language. I didn't understand, really, anything on Atspace. So, now my question: Is it possible to create a link (like "www.scienceforums.net") to my file? If so, how? If I wanted to post my web page on the Internet, would I have to pay up? If it helps any, the file is located in C:\Program Files\Internet\www\Chat Groups.htm. Even if you can't answer this, thanks.

True. That's why I said that I was not good at genetics....Oh, well. I guess that's the reason they have different dog and cat breeds, isn't it.... I'm only in high school. *sigh* Interesting theory.

Are our tsunami warning systems good enough?
KagakuOtaku replied to Mr Rayon's topic in Earth Science
No. No warning system is ever good enough. That's why it's called a 'warning' system. Because it can only warn people about incoming danger. People still get hurt, lives are still lost, and homes are still destroyed. Now, the perfect tsunami system would hand out surplus supplies (food, water, blankets, etc...) to the general population, and then some. It would be able to set up a defense mechanism around the area in danger. It would get people out safely, and provide shelter for them until it is safe. In a perfect world, no homes would be destoryed and those nuclear reactors in Fukushima wouldn't have had sea water pumped into them (because they would be running safe and sound). But, this is not a perfect world. The tsunami warning system we have is good enough...to a point. It's all we have, for now. -
Where did viruses come from?
KagakuOtaku replied to Incendia's topic in Evolution, Morphology and Exobiology
That depends on the type of virus. If it's a genetic virus, it could of come from multiple things: interbreeding, genetic mutations, damages to the psychological mind. If it's the physical virus, it's from external subjects, like: bacteria, harmful chemicals, and whatnot. -
The only thing I could strangle out of my few resources is that a misanthrope is somebody who hates humanity, or dislikes and distrusts other people, and so tends to avoid others.

lust and puberty
KagakuOtaku replied to johndemosthenes's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
Probably not. For one, your thoughts, however lustfull they may be, don't effect your physical side, which is where puberty would stand. For two, I always thought it was puberty that effected lustful thoughts... -
Just a thought, here, but perhaps men try not to cry as easily because of the whole dominance thing. In most, if not all, species, the males tend to try to be more dominant over other males, yes? Why not in humans? Maybe we see the women as crying more, when it's actually the men who aren't crying very much.

Is Sex Primitive?
KagakuOtaku replied to NavajoEverclear's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
Sex is, in fact, a primal instinct. All humans are equipped with instincts, such as the urge to be around other humans. One of these instincts is the need to reproduce. Actually, all organisms have this instinct. Now, say this instinct didn't exist. Then nothing and nobody would have the urge to have sex and continue the population of life forms on Earth. And thus, everything would cease to exist. Also, it might be possible that this instinct is the cause of the natural urge in women to protect children. Without that instinct, children would die in their early years of life. So, that being said, obviously sex is a primal urge. If not, then why are we even here, today? -
What makes women want children?
KagakuOtaku replied to visceral's topic in Psychiatry and Psychology
I believe dr.syntax is correct. It is natural instict for us women to protect children. It might have something to do with a girl's menstrual cycle...Perhaps this urge kicks in at puberty? -
How far back can you remember?
KagakuOtaku replied to skepticlogician's topic in Psychiatry and Psychology
For me, remembering something from a long time ago is easier than remembering something that happened five minutes ago. The farthest I can remember back is this one day, when I was riding a pony during a fair. It's not very vivid, though. The second oldest and most vivid of my early childhood was of when I was two/three. I remember being grounded on the day of my birthday, because I disobeyed my mother. I can even remember something as insignificant as standing on my knees. I don't remember how old I was, but I do remember there being some couch cushions around me... -
Utterly Confused about choosing the right Clade!
KagakuOtaku replied to Black_Panther's topic in Ecology and the Environment
First off, you should never go with what will make you the most successful. My father, who is a great mean, told me once that it's not important if you become famous or successful or not. What's important is that you choose the work that you love the most. It could be stripping at a club, as long as you're happy with it. Second, you seem like you would like Biology the best. Biology doesn't just cover one group of organisms. It covers everything living. Plants, animals, bugs...You name it. If it's alive, it's probably covered in Biology. Originally, I was going to go for it, but decided on Psychology, instead. And, if you decide you don't like it, you can always choose something else, instead. Trial and error. Third, I hope you find something that you like to do. Having a career isn't about making a lot of money or becoming famous. It may be a part of it, but it's having fun and enjoying your work. If you don't like what you do, then what's the point? -
Hm...I'm no genetics genius...In a scale from one to ten, I'd probably be a three...But, anyways. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the two species would have to have the same number of chromosomes in order to reproduce effectively. But, since they came from a common ancestor, then they probably have similar DNA, and it might be possible. For example, take the liger. The lion and tiger would have had to have the same number of chromosomes in order for the offspring to survive properly. So, they would have to have similar DNA. But, don't forget that there is a fine line to this. Make them too close, and the offspring could easily be infected by serious diseases. Not too far, not too close. As for your second question, it is most likely possible, if the dormant (dormant would be a better word if it had the potential to work again) organ was originally used, but became so after not needing it. I'm not explaining it properly. Like, for example, the appendix. It was once a working organ(?) once, but became dormant after not being needed. If the organ in your novel was once working, then the two species would have the potential gene to enable the organ, because their ancestors already had it and passed it down to their offspring, if interbreeding had been at play. Sigh. This is slightly troublesome, since that would mean that that species would be in risk of disease... So, all in all, it would be possible, but you'd have all these kinks and bumps along the way. Or maybe I'm just being too complicated. I don't know. Sorry for making this so long. As I said before, I'm not genetics expert. Hope this helps you out, anyways...

Can you explain love with science?
KagakuOtaku replied to WendyK's topic in Anatomy, Physiology and Neuroscience
In some ways, yes. At least, you can explain it physically and emotionally. -
Why are men attracted to breasts?
KagakuOtaku replied to Nevermore's topic in Psychiatry and Psychology
Attraction to breasts is both nature and nurture. First, though humans have evolved and are taught to suppress most natural instincts, human males tend to be more attracted to women with large breasts because of instinct. The human mind works in quantities. People tend to want a large supply of something that they need. The same with breast size. The subconscious part of a human mind says that the larger the breast is, the more milk it can produce, thus increasing the survival chance of offspring. Second, humans tend to relate sensitive parts of the body to sex. For example, when someone of the opposite gender gives you a massage, don't you usually think of something intimate? That is because both the massage and sex are sensual. A man may associate breasts with sex because they are sensitive. Third, in modern times, a woman is usually taught to be modest and reserved, which means covering her breasts and privates. If a woman shows herself to a man in such ways, it may rouse emotions such as trust and friendship. Such emotions are important during sex, because you are entrusting your body to someone else, and so is your partner. Usually, two people (or more) who are engaging in sex more than likely were strong and loyal friends before doing so, and that is where friendly emotions have a role.
