There's one big problem with DARE. They only tell one side of the story. For example, they never bother to mention the health benefits of small amounts of alcohol, regularly drank (drunk?) because they figure kids won't be able to judge how much is too much. When kids learn about these things, they figure that everything DARE taught them is a lie, and go ahead and smoke or take whatever the heck they want. That's my problem with DARE. It's a good idea, but a bad implementation.
Hmmm...Anti-matter is (broadly speaking) where the nucleus is made of antiprotons and antineutrons and instead of electrons you have positrons 'orbiting' it. If you bombard element 115 with protons you are unlikely to acheive anything and certainly not antimatter - the superheavy nuclei are made by the fusion of two fairly heavy nuclei in the zinc-lead region of thing IIRC.
He may actually have a point. IIRC, in big particle accelerators like Fermilab, they create antimatter by sending regular protons through a cloud of gas (Xenon, if memory serves). So obviously you can create antiparticles using regular particles.

Nope, it's by constant reference (and appending an 'is rw' to the end of the variable name makes it non-constant reference).
