I went out backpacking last August in the desert. My dad suggested I take my cell phone, just in case. I scoffed (I dislike my cell phone, even in the city), but took it anyway. After I had hiked 5-6 miles from the trailhead I came to the top of a ridge and heard a beep in my pocket. It was my cell phone informing me that I had service.
Granted, this was in a national park, but it was one of the less visited NPs in the continental United States. Was there a tower around? Don't know, but you get up to the top of a mountain you significantly increase your chances of catching some air waves. Not gonna help you if you get lost in a valley, but odds are you'd still get as high as you can to find your bearings. Maybe that's high enough.
Interesting. I've always used "q" for heat or charge, "H" for enthalpy, and "h" for Planck's constant.
I think the only place I've seen "Q" is for a reaction quotient (equilibrium constant but the system doesn't have to be at equilibrium....can't remember exactly what it's called, but shows up in the Nernst equation in electrochemistry).
Oh, I agree that some people might have that issue. I, however, am a computational chemist. If I screw up at a computer, either I lose all my work or water now has a normal boiling point of 1000K. Disturbing, sure, but not life-threatening.
So for me, guns deserve more respect than computers.
What makes you think that everyone needs a social life in order to consider their life a success?
With six billion people on the planet, I'd be very surprised if at least one of them didn't look back on their life and think, "I wish I wouldn't have had kids or any friends. I could've gotten much more done."
I would say that no, that's not why the bombs were dropped on Japan. Truman recorded in his diary that he knew the Japanese were ready to surrender before the bombs were dropped. The problem was, they wanted to surrender to the Soviets, as talks with the Americans would lose face for the emperor. Truman wanted to keep Stalin out of Japan.
He probably also wanted the Soviets to know what kind of power the Americans had with the bomb, and to let them know the Americans didn't just have one.
Hmm. Come to think of it, I've never seen a Corvette with a spoiler. They don't appear to need them. I've had one at 120 mph and the control was fine (granted, that was a straight stretch of road). They're not heavy cars, either. Why don't they have a spoiler?
This is fairly common in the sciences, from what I understand.
P.I.s usually have someone in mind for the job, but the compnay (university, lab, etc.) makes them offer it to the community in general. So they write very specific requirements, and suprise! Only one candidate meets them.
Most people don't keep looking for better prices after they've already bought something, so even with the return policy Best Buy figures they'll make money...unless you're able to compare prices before you visit the store.
I used to watch WWE Smackdown (go ahead and laugh), and they'd show an anti-pot commerical followed by a "Stackers II" fat-burner (now ephedra free!) ad (being a dietary supplement, it's not regulated by the FDA). Does anyone else see mixed messages here?

Now physics and chemistry courses, that's another story.
My computers won't kill a person if I screw up using them.
Any of the cleaners with HCl work for that.

But I dunno, maybe a bum just passing through town could have done the same thing.
Okay, so how does he recompile?
You can't put "paranoid, bipolar, slacker" on a report card.
It would probably cost more to get it out than you would gain from it.
Offshore oil rigs in seas filled with pack ice? How long would the rigs stand up to that?

Castle Wolfenstein? All I remember are "Lemonade Stand," "Choplifter," and "Oregon Trail." Not to mention 5.25" floppy disks.
Granted, I was 8 or 9 at the time (sorry if I make you feel old...:-) ).

What's amazing is how many of them came hours after the first answer was written.
That's good. I may not completely agree with your stance, but at least you're not a hypocrite. I can respect that.
Would you still have vending machines all over the place if you had to wait for two days to get your candy bar?

Sure it'll accomplish something.

Bonds frequencies for water are in the near IR, which are much higher in energy than microwaves.
People seem to forget that professional athletes are entertainers, and they'll be paid as long as people pay to see them.
I don't think it's the bonds. I'm pretty sure it's exciting the rotational frequencies (microwave sounds a little weak for bond frequencies).
Agreed.

Eh. It happens.
Private companies can censor whatever they want.
