This is Franc Grom as mentioned earlier ! And , here is an egg ! ...

Citizenship is not what I would want as I am a citizen of my country but there are systems where people can have dual nationality , that's not for me . I would like to go to the U.S. and spend a year there having a look around . But a year has a habit of changing to more than a year because of the unknown happenings and there is also the fact that when a person goes to a foreign country there are those who want to know you will still be around in a few years if they put time and money into training you to work for them , the complete opposite also exists , those who just don't care who you are and where you are from . Tough world !

From a computer programming point of view avatars are part of the visual experience in threads . An avatar as I see it from a practical viewpoint is just an aid to locate posts when speedy scrolling is used . I thought there might be a reference sending me off to locate a weird and wonderful specialized computer language which might help me to understand how the avatar interacts with the screen . It's theory seems quite simple now , though . This is a thread to discuss the avatars , they are a valid computer science topic , politics of their fashionability is understandable .

Here is a short demonstration which is about 10MB in data .

My post in reply is on topic . Maybe this person with their level of education could run the restaurant starting at good oul fashioned step 1 , quickly progressing onwards and upwards . And , if I was to consider that , Then , Why do you give some ? , as follows ,

Who knows how , what a person might say , could influence any person at all , anywhere at all ? These days we are communicating with each other from all over the world , nearly instantly !

^least helpful quote of the day? Why is that Ringer ? Maybe you are not old enough to remember the good oul , bad oul , good oul , bad oul 1980's . In these times people who had been to universities and got brilliant qualifications had no jobs to go to and had to work in fast food restaurants taking the jobs of the ordinary working man , to get the money to pay for their studies and to live on .

I ' m talking about a hypothetical situation , should it ever happen in a ' western ' country , there would be no justification for blame to be put on the government who reacts to it , from their foreign governmental counterparts , this of course being from their unified point of view . Don't get me wrong , people from whatever tribal backgrounds that they are , should live peacefully and have the benefits of their natural resources spent in ways that help them , not the foreign countries who are only interested in getting cheap oil while fronting it with whatever will convince their own people that they are doing the right thing .

With the recessionary times spreading , people with your level of qualifications are taking jobs in Mc Donalds ! Can you cook a BIGMAC ?

I think that it must be said that in any western country , though I don't like to use the term ' western ' as it makes people think there is an entity called the ' west ' , which there isn't , if twenty people , never mind 2500 , went down through the centre of a city with machine guns on pickups , grenades and rocket launchers , the government running that western country would be sending thousands of military personnel to end that problem quickly , licenced to do whatever they have to .

Here is some American information that may answer a thing or two . It looks like decent information with no adds . Where there is money to be made people will try to sell you nothing for something , I wouldn't be surprised if things are added to honey to increase the weight in supermarkets , whether it is with their knowledge is another question . Honey Bees and Beekeeping !

If two independent flames can be made , a simple piece of metal could be placed near to each flame . If this piece of metal is connected in a simple electric circuit where the current flowing depends in part on the temperature of the metal , then the current can be used as a measure of the temperature that the flame has brought the metal to . It is difficult to know which will be warmer , I have often stood at a bonfire and still been cold .

From one source .......... , The Higher Calorific Value of Bituminous Coal is 17,000 - 23,250 KJ/Kg The Higher Calorific Value of Methane is 55,530 KJ/Kg If I was determining whether a piece of bread near to a flame of these fuels will toast quicker based on the same rate of combustion of fuel gravimetrically , I would suppose methane as being a better bet . You are also supposing that natural gas is methane but it can be a mixture of a lot of things . Here are a few Higher Heating Values for some different Natural Gas mixtures . From another source .......... , Algeria: 42,000 kJ/m³ , Bangladesh: 36,000 kJ/m³ , Canada: 38,200 kJ/m³ , Indonesia: 40,600 kJ/m³ , Netherlands: 33,320 kJ/m³ , Norway: 39,877 kJ/m³ , Pakistan: 34,900 kJ/m³ , Russia: 38,231 kJ/m³ , Saudi Arabia: 38,000 kJ/m³ , United Kingdom: 39,710 kJ/m³ , United States: 38,416 kJ/m³ , Uzbekistan: 37,889 kJ/m³ These values are Volumetric values at standard temperature and pressure . Maybe some Algerian Natural gas might toast the bread quickest .

It is unusual to try to compare heating values of fuels based on the size of flame that they produce being constant . Usually , people compare heating values according to the mass or volume of fuel burned or the cost of fuel burned . I remember reading of scientists who had gas calorimeters in the 1940's , the coal mining laboratory types , who tried to reproduce the same measurements in their equipment by calibrating with a flame of the same size and the same fuel each time . If the same calorimeter could be calibrated using your two chosen fuels , each time using the same size of flame , then maybe your two fuels could be compared . It would only be approximate and there is the added problem that bituminous coal is a solid . This morphs your problem into another problem which you could consider .

When I said " fundamental " , I meant that the Kelvin scale is the scale that uses the S.I. fundamental unit of a Kelvin .

The Federation of Irish Beekeepers' Associations says in their FAQ section about , Honey Q. How much honey will I get from my hive? A. It depends on a number of factors and will vary from year to year. The amount of good honey-producing plants within range of your hive is very important. A strong colony in a very good season could collect upwards of 80 lbs but if the weather is not favourable 20 lbs or less might be your lot. Some years none at all is collected but this is the exception.

By extension of this logic , if everybody abstained then the vote would have full support . I doubt that !

This is William Thomson , ' Lord Kelvin ' , whose temperature scale is fundamental to how Engineering is . For his wiki page click here and for a comparison of his and other temperature scales , also from the folks over at the wiki , click here .

Supposing , photons don't interact with each other and they behave as if the other photons are not there , then can more than one photon be in the same place ?

Shadow , I know this example I give is probably a little different than what you describe , but it also has similiarities . When I make 3d models , I have to use a renderer to make a detailed image which does it's stuff as the computer still shows me the 3d model . I had the problem of the computer crashing and the only thing I could do was shut it down and restart . Then , I discovered a renderer that sent all it's data that had been processed to disk , which I think means that the processed image was written to the hard disk as it was being made and the ram memory was free to do other important things . The 3d modeller and the image renderer never crash now .

Does the presence of a photon in a vacuum itself invalidate the vacuum ? What is the speed of a photon in a photon ? Is that ridiculous ?
