  1. another ufo sighting.
  2. global warming is just a definition i think. just to describe a situation where the heat from the sun is trapped in the earths atmosphere cos of greenhouse gases. dont know if it includes heat from earth
  3. I havent done a question like this, but i presume you will have to find the spring constant as a function of a spring coil diameter.
  4. 1) and 2) only work with problems involving constant acceleration. 1) are a direct result of solving the second order differential equation x''=a , or (v'=a) where a is constant. so u get v = x' = at + c (for some constant c = v(t0)=u = initial velocity) and then x = (at^2)/2 + ut + d (for some constant d = x(t0) . usually taken to be 0 .i.e the origin for convinience) with a bit of manipulation [math]x=ut+\frac{at^2}{2}[/math] [math]=ut+\frac{(v-u)t^2}{2t}[/math] [math]=\frac{2ut+vt-ut}{2}[/math] [math]=\frac{(v+u)t}{2}[/math] What i was doing there was basically finding the area under the velocity time graph. As you must know the area is equal to the displacement.... not the same as distance travelled. But i guess you will have to wait a little while , to understand these results properly
  5. its just a consequence of a bit of algebraic manipulation. nothing special there.
  6. just watch a lot of BBC. and try to learn received pronounciation (RP) from someone
  7. i have a 2.8 ghz p4. and i use about 16% cpu, while watching a divx 5 video with mp3 audio. can someone do a similar test and put up ur cpu usage. just wanna do a benchmark
  8. most of the divx codecs ?? i thought divx was only one codec. altough it does decode xvid, its terrible at doing that. thing is i can easily download one of those massive codec packs.. except they are so bloated.
  9. no prob pangloss, i respect ur opinions. anyway i was just browsing round and found this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1233171/posts seems to be some kind of republican thing. the comments made me crack up so much
  10. I was wondering what pple here have installed. COS rite now i am using FFDshow Aug28 2004 version. I have read good reviews about it, but dont really know how it compares against other codec (packs) Is there something better you would recommend?
  11. Its a fair statement. Nothing has happened since 3/03 that would have changed the peoples mind about france. If the same poll was taken now, you will get similar or worse results.
  12. Sixty-four percent of Americans have an unfavorable view of France, according to the poll. Two of five consider France either unfriendly or an enemy. And 54% say France is "stabbing the U.S. in the back." http://www.usatoday.com/money/world/2003-03-17-anti-france-protest_x.htm I admit that article is pretty old. but those sentiments still remain.
  13. pangloss, you always assume that i am throwing stones. and i dont get the point of the article you linked.
  14. then why rename french fries to freedom fries? I am sure even if u are french american, the word french will have a negative connotation to it.
  15. It will be just another piece of ID that we will be forced to carry in our wallet. will do nothing to stop terrorism or illegal immigration. the system will probably get heavily abused as well
  16. does using stardock applications to mess around with ur GUI , affect the performance of your machine?
  17. i think its already been done, and its called LINUX hehe.
  18. the last one isnt a lie, but spun upto its limiting point. The figure Kerry mentioned was given by Congressional Budget Office in 2001 while projecting the cumulative budget surplus [edit]oops, sorry, the site you gave already mentions that fact[/edit]
  19. and when someone "dares" to imply that government made a mistake . example BBC, they get into whole loads of trouble
  20. wheres the transcript located by the way.. for those of us who cant be bothered to get the whole vid
  21. i prefer brunettes.
  22. i see you watched the frank skinner show yesterday. Stephen Fry was on. and he was talking about it
  23. can u explain who he is , and what happened? what is crossfire?
  24. me thinking about second order partial differential equations
