Does "expell" mean something different to you than to me? Isn't expulsion final? There's no "high school career" at that high school to speak of from then on (unless you manage to appeal).
But the calculated value of c (which is far more useful than the measured one, as it's exact [if you use units which make all the other constants exact values, anyway]) is the speed of photons, rather than light in a vacuum, isn't it?
Talking of quantum effects on light - i much prefer the fact that a sheet of lead speeds up light. It's because the only light reaching the detector is light that's tunneled through the lead (like electron tunnelling, but with photons), and therefore hasn't travelled as far.
ASUS are a big manufacturer - I expect they're involved in the development process of the chipsets they use and haven't done this without the knowledge of the chipset manufacturers.
Is it really overclocking if the manufacture does it? Isn't it just deciding the default settings? Components aren't made with a built in correct speed - there is a certain speed that going above means you've overclocked it. They decide the level of stability they want and set the components accordingly. All this means is that they've decided that stability is slightly less important in comparision to speed than they had decided previously. It's not overclocking.
Having someone there would be good, I'm sure, but she might also want some independence. Being dependant on someone coming over to help with her email means she have to plan everything around when they can be there. It also means there's no privacy in her communication.
You would have to have a small set of questions and use them all repeatedly - once you'd programmed your bot to know the answers it would be fine. There are effectively unlimited captchas (26^6=plenty big enough for me).
Not if he portrayed it as evil - that's the whole point. Whenever you portray something, you do so with a certain amount of bias. You can minimise it, but you can't get rid of it.
Well, no... market share is a ratio, users is an absolute value... the 2 are rather related, though, wouldn't you say? Market share being the ratio of users to total users, and all?
Why should some students get money and others not just because of how much money their parents have? Just because your parents have plenty of money doesn't mean they give it to you.
Parents with more money are paying more tax anyway, so give the EMA to everyone and parents pay an amount of it they can afford - that's how tax rates work.
Changing direction is acceleration too, you know. Assuming the earth's orbit is circular (close enough) it is accelerating towards the sun at v^2/r, which I can't be bothered to work out.
Since when has doing something a lot that needs doing a lot to be useful meant you're addicted? If you don't check your email frequently you might as well use snail mail - one of the biggest benefits of email over snail mail is speed.
The black box would be made out of something that wouldn't burn up. You can't make rockets out of such stuff because it's too heavy and you'd never get off the ground, but a black box is small enough to make it practical.
I believe the space shuttle has such a black box and they found the Columbia's one shortly after it burned up.
No, if I'm remembering the definition correctly an astronaut is anyone that's travelled into space. (The exact definition of that varies - above 100km for most people, about 50 miles for the US, if memory serves). There's also the issue that different countries call their astronauts different things, and I'm not sure if cosmonauts/taikonauts(sp?) etc. count as astronauts - probably depends on who you ask.
When you fly in a plane you are not a airplane pilot, you are however an "aeronaut" (I think that's a real word... a little ourdated prehaps). When you fly in a spacecraft you are not a spacecraft pilot, but you are an astronaut.
no, normal doesn't just refer to single digits. A normal number contains every sequence, for example, 0.12345678910111213141516...100101102...10001002.. . and so on
No... 1 is one in all bases, by definition. 10 is the number of the base in all bases, again by definition. In base ten with represent ten as 10. In base pi, pi is 10.

That's the definitions I know from UK schools.
What?! Oh well... you can parse HTML manually, I'm sure... I'll bother to find out what Extrans actually means at some point...

Yes, just the other way round... ish.
That's all true - it might be unwise or even "bad" to increase the speed in this way, but it isn't overclocking.
ASUS are a big manufacturer - I expect they're involved in the development process of the chipsets they use and haven't done this without the knowledge of the chipset manufacturers.
That should of course say "there ISN'T a certain speed"...
Incidentally, what does "preview" mean?

Creation of the solar system, surely? I don't see how this is going to reveal anything about the universe as a whole...

Not reading articles in one thing... but at least read the question before answering it...

You've probably forgotten about it, but there is another meaning to the word "windows"...

That's exactly what i've been thinking - they're definition of random seems fundementally flawed...

1.000 in base pi is 1 in base 10. You mean 10 in base pi, which is about 3.14159 in base 10.
