Ach du liebe!! Ich werde die Korrektur vornehmen.

Then describe your hypothesis for hammer/anvil brain surgery. Simply saying anything is possible is baseless. Yes, many problems have multiple solutions, but it does not follow that all problems have multiple solutions or that all problems have even one solution.

I think it is mistaken. You can't do brain surgery with a hammer and an anvil.

How many threads is this now that Ed has put forward the [unsupported] claim that vegetarianism is healthier than not vegetarianism? Let me count the ways... Seriously though, humans are omnivores & as I pointed out before in the meat/cheese thread, veggies & fruits just don't provide everything we need such as B12. People eat meat so get over it. Eat a balanced diet in moderate proportions and get you exercise (off the high horse of course).

Sehr güt gut! I'm honored.

Hardly a scientific study. On that note, I misspoke when I said the g/kg measures in the study I cited were the potency; it is the dose. Heaven forbid, I re-read the actual study rather than making a Youtube video or heading for the pub. source: >> http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/MISC/driving/driving.htm *This post has been constructed under the influence of caffeine and nicotine, notwithstanding that coffee & cigarettes have other chemicals in them which may or may not have an effect on the conttttewnt. My kingdom for a spliff.

Yeah; I'll go with the pub crawler rather than the folks who did the study.

I suspect you are misreading that line and that you didn't read the study. Those amounts you quote reflect the ratio of THC to the gross weed weight. What were you carrying when you posted? From the study:

I know you responded to MigL, but as he is mistaken and I put up the game I will take the liberty of replying to you. So again, MigL is mistaken about detection in perturbations being the sole method of detection, as well as being mistaken about the size of the planet detectable. Please see my edited post. Quoting from one of my sources and in reference to your 'how many in habitable zone' question. source: >> http://www.universetoday.com/100122/smallest-exoplanet-yet-discovered-by-listening-to-a-sun-like-star/ That is the end of the article, so you would miss it if you don't read the full article. As to a habitable zone, this is also determined by how big the star is and so it is variable. Also from one of my links -the exoplanet archive- there is an ongoing list of newest discoveries. source: >> http://exoplanetarchive.ipac.caltech.edu/ That little blurb has numerous links which you can find by visiting the page. Also again, the 'how many' question depends on the parent star's mass and the specific masses of planets in the habitable zone and their relative motions. As the game will demonstrate you can jam quite a few planets of varying sizes in the habitable zone and have them remain stable. Happy hunting!!

I believe they are achieving detections of 'small' planets by measuring dimming as planets pass in front of stars from our viewpoint. Give me a few minutes to find a link... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_detecting_extrasolar_planets#Orbital_brightness_modulations Multiple methods given in the full article.

Certainly one problem with pot being illegal is that it is hard if not impossible to legally study it. Nonetheless, there is at least one study on driving under the influence of the evil weed. source: >> http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/MISC/driving/driving.htm Puff puff, no pass no pass?

It all depends on the specifics. A fewer or more planets with a little more-or-less mass that are a little more-or-less close to a star means the difference between stable orbits, collisions, or ejections from the system. I think it was a recent blog entry that had a link to a cool little game where you can place different mass objects in different orbits & then run it for 500 years to watch what happens. Here's a link to the game. Now go crash some planets! http://www.stefanom.org/super-planet-crash/: >>

Hmmmmmm...while we wait to see if others respond, can you link to the page you are reading from?

It's awkward wording, but I think B just shows that the a's are Natural numbers.

Off the cuff I think it just means that it doesn't matter in what order you choose test cases. For example, you could let p=7 and let a=2 first, even though 7 is not the first prime and 2 is not the first a.

What; me worry!? So I put your new number into the engine. It gave a dozen results again. I'll just give a couple and you can look at the rest there. (Have you used that tool before? She's a peach I tell ya! ) pi^2/8~~1.233700 pi^(1/5)~~1.257274 3-sqrt(3)~~1.267949 http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=1.27 Edit: missed that A(circle)/A(quadratrix) = 1.780183697254104 edit. Found an interesting close-fit with e & pi for it. >> e^(1+e-pi)~~1.7801349

Sorry; copy/paste error. Should read 6+1/e. See my edit of first reply too if you missed it.

Wolfram|Alpha computational engine when input 6.37 gives the following as possible closed forms: 1/e~~6.367879 e^2-1~~6.389056 and 51/8~~6.3750000 Edit: D'oh! I missed the 'more' button. There must be a dozen such forms given. Here's one more interesting form that includes e & pi. (15 pi)/e^2~~6.3775249 Here's the link if you don't have this handy-dandy tool. >> http://www.wolframalpha.com/

Thanks Function. I was thinking to cover the unknown with 'little'. Also, the unfamiliarity of the name Fermat with readers has a hint of mystery that may coax them to read the dissertation. Those familiar with Fermat will likely get the references to proof, little, and mighty. The title is just your hook and once you have the reader you can expand your different points whether you explicitly relate them to the title or leave them to figure it out when they finish. "Ahhhhh...that's what he meant!" Best of luck.

Glad it was helpful. Yes I think you could use the resistor substitution box, keeping in mind the pots listed for R1-8 are 250K. Once you get an audible tone you can experiment with different values from there.

My pleasure. It's a high bar to be sure, but overall I think the experts here give folks a fair shake. This is where the math is a necessity as support. No doubt discussions can get heated. Consensus is as consensus does. Again, it's not blind agreement but a thoughtful review among many competent folks. I don't doubt your integrity and it's clear you have done considerable reading. Be as open to the ideas & feedback of others as you expect them to be open to yours. It's always possible that you may spark a closer look into refining some aspect of a standard model even though it is not supportive of yours. After all is said and done, geology rocks.

Who knows. No biggy. So too with Unity. Having made the mistake myself in the past, I now make it a habit to read all posts before joining in. I do appreciate your giving your take inasmuch as it agreed with my suggestion and I was a bit unsure if it was the right approach for the original poster. Perhaps that member will post again to comment on our responses.

10-4 The linked article concludes with similar thoughts. Sounds very promising fo shizzle. English Ivy is invasive here in Washington state and classified as a Class C noxious weed.

A variable resistor can modify the frequency over a certain range, and you can use a different capacitor to get a different resistor modifiable range. This page gives a simple circuit and parts list: >> http://www.electrokits.com/Sound-Effects/Transistor-Organ
