  1. Obviously I would say that any mistreatment of the waste is ethically wrong. But how can nuclear power be ethically wrong on it's own? Especially when we are all concerned about the use of our rapidly declining stocks of fossil fuels.
  2. I got Ben Hogan's 5 lessons "The Modern Fundimentals of Golf". He takes a scientific approch to golf. I read this book when I was 18 years old and and shot a 66 gross (4 under par) a week later. (normwlly shoot in the 70's). I took up golf again about a year ago and have been shooting in the 70's/80's. I read this book again last month and shot 69 a couple of weeks ago (2 under at this course). I want to keep his methods in mind and keep practicing to see if I can keep the form going and break par more often this year. I appreaciate not everyone like golf - but if you do then READ THIS BOOK! Ben Hogan spent his whole life experimenting with different golf swings and came up with standard methods which hold up under pressure of competition or playing for money.
  3. I agree - I think the author doesn't really know what they are talking about - of course it has a cause! It happens to make the nucleus more stable as Klaynos said.
  4. That definately works. When we were little (about 6 or 7 years old) lots of us were being bullied by some idiot a few years older than us. We got our mate's big brother to kick the crap out of him. He soon stoped pestering us.
  5. Solving Domestic Abuse eh? I find Domestic Solvent Abuse much more fun.

    RFID Chips, Cancer?

    Believable or not, it definately says in Revalations that one day no-one will be able to buy or sell without the mark. i.e. if you don't get the chip, you don't get to go shopping. It also says that they mark (the chip) will go under the skin on the hand or in the forehead - which is exactly the place 'they' are planning to make you have the chips installed. Could just be co-incidence though!? (NB - I'm keeping my personal beliefs out of this - I'm just stating what the book says).
  7. Just wait untill you start work mate! Cheer up though - it's not always that bad. We all have it in us to be good and evil. Just keep up the good fight my friend.
  8. Superman did in his first film - in fact he went so fast that the world span bacwards and so did time!
  9. being fair to Mr Branson - I saw a TV interview with him sunday morning - he stated that it was an experiment to prove that their are alternate possibilites - they know their biofuel isn't the final answer, their test was just to show/prove that alternative CAN be used. They are hoping to develop their ideas further and come up with something sustainable and 'greener' than kerosine - it cant be a bad thing in the long run.
  10. I'm not a programmer - I can do a little bit of basic. No-ne has answered so here is my GUESS (do not use this info - it is just a guess) for a bit of fun. (here is where I make a complete fool of myself for sure!) It looks similar to Pascal or C... (???) anyway: if: #num = 0 then: 'panic'!!!!!!
  11. Showing videos of ice burgs breaking off of the ice caps during the usual spring thaw and then passing it off as absolute evidence of the need for a carbon tax. ?
  12. Knowledge?? (or their sisters if they are into history as well!? )
  13. I have a Ph.D. in chemistry. Therefore I am a doctor of philosophy.
  14. Yea I suppose so - you apply logical method to get the hidden information out - so I suppose you could call it a science? I still like the sentance "All knowledge is science". It may be a bit pretentious but is true when you break it down. Any fact or statement can be broken down and explained scientifically I believe. Even history - OK the study of history may not be science (although science is employed with geophysics for example), but the actually things studdied like, for example, a castle building or a war period include science (lots of science in war - lots of science in constructing a building). (PS. I think Sistory sounds as though it should be illegal)
  15. Does that include private investigation? Or even torture?? (both employ scientific method to obtain knowledge - but are they sciences?)
  16. The word "SCIENCE" actually means "KNOWLEDGE" IIRC... Therefore encompasing everything. All knowledge is science. wrt history, if you were to tell the story of the history of our model for the atom (starting with Thompsom's plumb pudding going through Bohr etc..), would you call it History or Science?
  17. Sound like a cool idea - although I think the board would flip. Although if someone was standing on it they could apply pressure with the feet to stop it happening I suppose. You'd need some sort of magnetised rink to skate your board on.
  18. Admittedly they do not explain what charge is and don't answer the origional question. They are correct in what they say though and do explain the confusion between positive and negative being the wrong way round.
  19. Cool! I hope you don't mind me nicking it for a while!? I hope I havn't been too rude to Gareth here.. Am I right about this?
  20. The first 2 posts by (the ones you dissed) explain this correctly. QUOTE : "Current was defined as flowing from positive to negative, before we knew that the opposite was true. We didn't change the convention because the mathematics work the same way. "
  21. Hi. I don't actually know the answer to your question, but no one else has answered and I am a formulator so.. If you don't get a yes no answer from anyone else, could you try and knock up a few test mixes with different levels of substitution in them, say 20%, 40% 50%, 60% 80% 100% and then test them out to see if they still perfom desireably? In other words - experiment with it and see if it works? Regards.
  22. Klaynos' and Ecoli's answers seem sound to me. WAW.

    Psp!

    I've got the Nintendo DS - It's excellent! I've seen PSP and it looks really good. The DS is better for me because I like the strategy games and stuff, whereas I think the PSP would be better for shootem ups, sporty football games and racing etc.. just my opinion... they are both really good! regards.
  24. This was being discussed the other day: http://www.scienceforums.net/forum/showthread.php?t=31118
  25. I think there should be more info.
