Fe2O3 + C +heat yields Fe + CO2 This violates conservation laws.
2Fe2O3 + 3C + heat -> 4Fe + 3CO2 would be better.

I do believe this is due to the large amount of heat created by the friction of flying so fast/high.
It's just the fast part for friction. The higher you go, the less air, hence less friction. The weight of titanium could be a factor in the height it can fly though.
Such that you only have to account for the mass within the racdius your are at.
There is a huge difference between something not affecting you, and something which is affecting you cancelling out with something else which is affecting you. This was what I said in my previous post.

I don't know if this thing is a pulsar, and of course, it might not beam toward us.
Really? I thought pulsars "beamed" in all directions. How does it pick which way to send?
if you dig a hole 1 mile into the Earth, and go down this hole, you are no longer subject to the gravitational effects of the outer 1 mile worth of Earth's crust.
Sure you are. It's just that it's not acting in the same direction that it was before. Any mass anywhere affects you gravitationally. You do weigh less though since part of the earth is now pulling you "up" as well as every other direction.

Awesome program. That's what I use for my jukebox. Only after I got it all installed did I realise that it only works to play mp3s on the client. I wanted it to play on the server but generate playlists from any of the clients in my home. It took about 5 lines of PERL to make it do this:-))

Well, the converse of that in the US was the Nader Effect...
The idiocy of this statement is truly appalling. The major problem with the US government is the 2 party system. It doesn't matter much whether you vote for Bush or Gore. They are almost identical. The thing we need more than anything is a viable third party. If there were only 3 candidates, a Republican, a Democrat, and a black (since I'm white) version of Hitler whose entire platform was "kill whitey", I would vote for the third choice because at least that is a choice. Only when more people vote for a candidate who is not a member of one of the two parties will anything good for the citizens of the US be possible.
At the same time there _are_ numbers larger than infinity.
Technically, there are different "infinities"
One does not know which aleph that corresponds to the cardinality of reals.
Actually, One (I forget which One specifically) has shown that the continuum problem (is the cardinality of the reals equal to aleph1) is independent of the axioms meaning you can either accept it as true or accept it as false and either way if the other axioms are consistent then the other axioms plus the new one will still be consistent.
One will get different mathematics depending upon which one is chosen.
One does not think it is aleph_1
Actually Many (the majority of the mathematical community) have arbitrarily decided that it *is* Aleph1. The mathematics are "cooler" this way.
You can only be sure of this if a and b are points in a space in which the operation is commutative. If a and b are integers and you're using normal multiplication, then yes you can be sure the statement holds. If a and b are matrices and you're using matrix multiplication then you can be somewhat sure it's not true for any given a and b and absolutely sure that it isn't true in general.
Think how many times things have been proven, only to be found flawed later on?
That's the strangth and beauty of mathematics: once it's proven, we know that it's true until the end of days
Well, in a sense, you're both right. There have been many cases where a proof has been given for a problem which is accepted at first and only later found to be flawed. Now, if the proof is correct, then it is *true*. If it is flawed, but not known to be flawed then it might not be true, but it is thought to be.

They do not fight for their god or their religion. What their actual reasons are are immaterial in this scope.

I think something that would be a very good adition to our current university system is the requirement of a co-op, internship or apprenticeship.
This is a great idea, but it would be a bitch to implement as a requirement.
There're only so many positions in any given college town that fit directly into any one major field of study.
Say you have two theaters in town and 20 senior drama majors.
If each theater puts on 2 productions during the school year then there would have to be an average of 5 roles available in each production.
If there is one less space, or one of the locals gets a role then somebody didn't meet the requirement. So then they're stuck around another year waiting to get their internship requirement.
This wouldn't just be a problem in the drama department.
Imagine the CS/Engineering departments at a school in a real small town with few technical companies.200 people waiting for an interview to work for free at Manny's Watch Repair and Auto Body Shop.
I think a lot more support for this kind of thing needs to come from local businesses, and the university should encourage students to take advantage of it (credits, waive other coursework etc.)
