Do what you like vs. do what will get you money. If you can find a way to make both of them work, do so. Few things seem cheerful after the first two years. Me? I couldn't really care about whether I go for the B.S in biochem/MB/chem... I'll do molecular biology, but I'll hope to have the bachelor's level of knowledge that the the biochem and chem majors. I'm thinking I'd hire someone with an extensive knowledge of engineering, programming, and mathematics. Programming and math is like CAD, engineering, and "theoretical" computations. Make me a program that shows what the chemical reaction would look like in real life. The "Folding at home" project is somewhat like this, in my opinion. If you track whatever google funds for the summer of code, those are examples, too. I thought about joining something for ~$4000 USD but decided against it. I think that with electrical engineering says, "Make me a robot that mixes chemicals. Afterwards, make the robot do a quantitative analysis on the processed materials, so I can see how efficient the robot is." If you did your job right, I say, "Good, now I can collect things from a junk yard and the robot will recycle them. Here is your paycheck. Punch out." Booyah. To say the least, what you're going to do will take a good amount of all those fields: math, computer science, and engineering I'm more concerned about the master's program, which where people say, "Crunch time, fool. Time to apply all you possess." My view is that we need programmers with a lot of math knowledge. What skills do you want? "The forced curriculum I involved myself allows me to know this and that." What skills do you want your degree to prove? "This piece of paper says I can do this and that." What job do you want? "I know these things, so I should be able to do the job." What Master's program do you want? "I want a new piece of paper to say I'm smart AND creative." Pretty much moving up the ladder means you get the bachelor's, which will hopefully be applied to a master's in/around/relating-to that field. What do you want to leave with? -- You'll have to figure that out. What more, afterwards, do you want to gain? Those will be some key questions. My view? Computer science and mathematics major. (knowledge of theory) EE minor. (knowledge of application) My true view? If it were me? I wouldn't go to school for any of those. I'd choose physics major with a chemistry minor.

Look at the Periodic Chart. Now, look at it again really, really good. Think about it. Think about it as though you are in a lab. And, although I don't want to be all E&W on you, research these things. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sodium_sulfate What is carbonate?

I think it would be important to create a college-level chemistry book. I've seen a lot of digital books on various topics of science, such as biology. I think PubMED has that stuff in their "library." But in terms of chemistry, I never see concrete, definite chemistry knowledge in a free eBook form. At least, I haven't in a while. I've seen short articles about various things, but nothing that amounts to maybe 500 pages worth of material.

Ok, that's nice. Thanks. Awfully gaudi, dough.

She doesn't work. "Ooh!" *clap bounce clap clap clap* CTRL+Return actually gives a new line. I think that will do. But other suggestions are welcome.

So, I like using LYX. Thing is, it won't give me two line breaks. Kind of how I'm breaking my sentences at this very moment. See! Another break! Ok, but really. I've been trying to go through the documentation, and I can't figureit out. I really don't like each of my sentences being so close, especially when I break off into a different topic. Anyone know how to manipulate LYX so I can get two line breaks?

I suspect this is more of a physics question, but I don't really know why a solution of a copper ion looks blue. Does anyone know a good book (academic or thorough) or website that really goes into this kind of stuff?

I think outsourcing was responsible at first... I've been slightly annoyed with people not mentioning that fact as of late.

I had this same idea many months ago. I've had it from time to time. I've been curious how someone would implement it. I like the implementation.

I'm trying to find a search engine that allows me to use superscripts, subscripts, misc. in order to find information about certain formulas. For example, I've tried typing in [math][Cu(NH_{3})_{4}]^{2+}[/math]. I got some information, but I had to shove things around and figure it out. But for a majority of things like that, I can't find a good .gov or .org website to help me out. I don't want to buy tons of books, so I'm wondering if anyone knows of some good, very good, super-duper freaking awesome websites.

I'm typically not interested in reading blogs by males, but I tend to like what ecoli has to say from time to time.

I'm not really sure where the center is. I'm sure we could all make assumptions, theories, and etc. but I'm thinking the human race doesn't know. If any of you could can prove it to me beyond a doubt, beyond 90%, then I might take it into consideration. For now, I will argue consciousness. You are the center of the universe. I'm against doing metaphysical assumptions, but when we're talking theoretical stuff such as shapes, that's because we've come to consider them within our mind. The word "center" can be argued and is a contestable term. I say consciousness, because if the universe infinitely expands, then the middle would be your point of consciousness at all times. It does make solipism seem more like a reality, though. Holmes, I'm pretty sure you're not suppose to be sending PDF copies of the articles unless they are free or you are transferring the rights of your digital copy to someone else. Correct me if I'm wrong, though, because there have been plenty of research documents I've wanted to send to the moderators around here from time to time because they requested information.

I'm going to go with iNow and say this was a freak experiment allow possible super powers. Other than that, you may want to check yourself into a medical clinic as soon as possible. But why would Neos attack the skin? Would this destroy the hypothesis that magnets have little to no effect on the body?

I guess a squiggle would be a alpha sheet. Hmm, darn.

86 cents Six cents 35c Four Dollars 12 Cents $0.68 cents can be seen as a variable. six cents + 12 cents = 18 cents since 0.68 is represented as cents, then 18+0.68 = $0.86 However, it could be simply 18 cents if you want to be strict about it. The more strict answer is "six cents"

I keep reading that it's possible, but I don't understand how. How does fat turn into hematopoietic tissue???? I'm thinking that I'm missing something here.

I like biophysics.

I've been told by a couple of farmers that some dogs will have bloodlust if they kill and eat the flesh of certain animals. I think one of the animals described was a collie eating some lamb (or maybe it was sheep). I was told that if it kills and tastes the blood of one of them, it gets the temptation to kill and eat the others. Does anyone know about bloodlust within animals? I tried finding something on Wikipedia, but not much information was there.

I'm going to graduate soon from college, and I'm indecisive about something. I'm not sure whether I should simply grab some loans, go to a university, and get a bachelor's degree OR if I should simply work for a year (probably earning up to $20,000 USD for the year and keeping it), get some loans, pay off the interest, while going for my bachelor's degree. I'm low on money, and I'm not too sure what to do. I don't think I truly qualify for scholarships, though. I know I do not want to be a teacher. If I did that, I'd probably be locked up in some hicktown for five years without the ability to get my master's degree. What would some of you do? What did some of you do? Any of you have any stories?

So, adduction would most likely apply toward swimming, right?

How exactly does the pectoralis major help with adduction when resistance is put on the body? If you ask me, it seems like the pectoralis major would resist the weight, thus by pushing the weight upward: This would be abduction. Or am I wrong on this?

I'm trying to figure out how to do instantaneous rates, but it seems like I need to know calculus to do this. I don't know calculus, and it wasn't listed as a prerequisite; I wasn't told the first day I need to know anything beyond basic algebra. Anyway, I'm suppose to find the "slope of a line tangent to the curve at any point." I don't really understand that. I tried searching for hours about this stuff, and I couldn't really find anything to help me; well, I tried analyzing stuff, but I couldn't see how it applied to what I was doing. The book didn't have that information. I know how to find the slope of something. But drawing this line against the curve... I don't know how to do that. Therefore, I decided to come here. Here is an image giving an example of instantaneous rate: click here Thing is, I don't exactly understand how the authors were able to get that line next to the point (t=600) on the graph. No equation has been giving to figure out how to do that. The book also tells me this: http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/6097/equationpe8.jpg I'm not very sure about how it obtained those top variables. It seems like it picked them out of thin air. If I'm correct, though, those variables come from the points that the slope comes across. However, I couldn't know those points unless I had done all of this in a graphing calculator, right? I haven't the slightest clue how those top variables were obtained, nor do I have the slightest clue how to make that line go against the point of the curve. How do I do these things?

Yeah, if you want Nature, you better brush up on stats, calc, and all that other stuff. Otherwise, I tend to like Scientific American.

To waste money. To annoy tax payers. I think that's pretty much been the objective for over 40 years. Also, it's about building defense. Old ideas say you need veterans; without vets, how are you going to defend a country? Throw noobs into the combat zone? Military history says you shouldn't be doing that. My view is go "ka-freaking boom," take it over, establish order, make sure order is sustained by neighboring countries, and leave. If not, have outside countries knock out all of the inner countries, and done deal. Communistic rein of underdeveloped lands. Personally, with all the terrorists and the S.A.Complex, looks like having an ally doesn't matter anymore. What's the U.S. got to lose? Nothing.

The United States military is like a mob. It tries to keep things quiet, and if things are exposed, cover them up with lies. It's all about national security, and someone screwed up. Otherwise, it's about social engineering and the current political scheme people are trying to blind commoners with.
