I TA an electronics lab with lax attendance policy. Just yesterday, I pulled this stunt to get the stragglers to leave early. Worked like a charm. Those function generators can really put out a lot of power.
If I were to commit voter fraud, I am sure as hell not going to do anything to battleground counties in these battleground states. I would do what I can to increase my candidates margin of victory slightly in other counties. No one committing voter fraud is stupid enough to mess with Miami-Dade county when the can so easily mess with other counties that no one is watching. And no matter what you think, committing voter fraud on a wide enough scale to affect a presidential candidacy would take plenty of intelligence and thought.

PS: What do touch screens have to do with any of this?
Primarily, we already have nautical settlements, oil rigs. However, more to your idea. I believe that nautical settlements are a certainty (within a hundred years maybe). Probably not for general purposes, but as the worlds population grows, offshore aquaculture becomes necessary to provide the world with protein. Settlements will have to grow around these farms to provide support. Animal farming seems to inefficient a use of arable farmland. Brandon
The average temperature of water in the oceans is just a bit above freezing in the pole areas and is about 17C(62F) on average (max 36C).
I am going to have to disagree with you on this one because I see it as an important technicality. The average temperature of the ocean is not 17C. Rather, it is much closer to 4C. This is the temperature at which water is most dense. As water approaches this temperature it sinks to the ocean and remains there, similar to thermocline phenomena experienced in lakes, just not as clearly defined as lakes because of increased water movement in oceans. Since oceans are deep (average depth around 3000m), the largest volume of water exists at around 4C. The value you quoted may be the average surface temperature, but it is clearly not the average ocean water temperature.
On the other hand, the climate and geographic features of Earth were most likely very different 65 mya from what they are now, what with Pangaea (sp?) and whatnot. However, I still believe the average temperature would be near 4C. Of course, this still supports the original hypothesis.
I am taking Partial Differential Equations this summer and I don't think any calculator can help me get the answer quick and easy.
Yup. In fact, I don't know of any software that can quickly and easily do partial differential equations. I tried to learn how to solve regular diffeq's on my TI-89, but it's easier to solve them on paper. That being said, the TI-89 CAS is still my favorite over matlab, maple, and mathematica.

%EL ~ 25 (Ductility) Ti is not considered a brittle material (5%EL). It is about the same as a common steel alloy (1020). However, it is 2.5x as strong. It might not shatter, as Lead is much more ductile than either steel or titanium (~30-60%EL).
I could've sworn our state motto was "Esse Quam Videri" (To be rather than to seem). Our license plates say "First in Flight." In fact, I don't think I've seen "First in Freedom" before, ever.
While I do not propose to be an expert on NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, the name was changed with the advent of medical applications because nuclear is a scary word) or magnetism in general, I doubt this would do much harm if it were ever attempted because the viscosity and size of the particles in question. Most likely, they will just line up with the field lines. I bet they'd show up nicely though. While there are significant barriers to this, I bet they could be excellent vectors for marking and destroying tumor cells when used with NMR.

The reason why this cannot occur is that while you and I may make good on the telescope's research though advances in physics and astronomy, your average joe doesn't realize any improvement on his life, except for cool pictures. What he sees are geeks wasting money on math (and math is hard). On the other hand, with the ISS you get cool pictures and this manifest destiny thing. brandon

A/C is amps per coulomb. Since an amp is a coulomb per second, the parent is clearly refering to the frequency.
Well, we're fucked now. I am going to stock up on guns and antibiotics.

Randomness can be quantified using Shannon's entropy. For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_entropy
Yeah, but there's no bluetooth. Isn't the point of these things to give me more freedom? Well, I hate wires.
I always thought that we'd be looking for advanced civilizations.

That would be incorrect. The number of genomes in the human genome is 1.

Why is this all a problem? I don't see why I can't expect this.

A 3.92 gpa should immediately disbar him from having anything to do with any sort of real science. Now a 2.8 makes for the best scientists.

Can a planet actually have weight? I figured it would just have mass?
Yeah, I was kindof hoping it was slashdotted.
