The above question inspired me, how can anyone hate a marshmallow filled dessert? They're just so delicious, it boggles the mind-- 152.163.100.74 01:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Whast's the best place/method on the internet to find lots and lots of free high quality pr0n?-- Question1 02:57, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
go to www.discretesex.com or www.jonsvids.com =) many many free videos that lead to sites with even more free videos =))) - PitchBlack
Is there any way to run simple, terminal programs written for the MAC on a pc? Is there a virtual machine, or a compability layer or an emulator or anything? Oskar 06:43, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
This IS a homework question, but id really appreciate if someone could explain HOW to do it (I've looked in the textbook and can't find the appropriate method) 'A runner, starting from rest, speedsup uniformly to a velocity of 6.0 m/s in 4.0 s. continues at this velocity for another 10s. and then slows down to a stop in 2.0s Draw the velocity time graph for the runner (done that) and determine how far the runner has travelled (This is the part I'm stuck with). Help is appreciated as i do need to study for the exam tomorrow. Thank you in advance.
Ok I think I understand now thanks all.

Is a twisted structure stronger than a non-twisted structure of the same basic shape? If built from the same materials, on the same scale, would this be stronger than this? I have a special fondness for spiral architecture and I was wondering if there's any actual advantage in it. Intuitively, I would think so, but I'm no architect. Thanks!

Why do laptops still use harddrives? Would miniSD's allow for a more compact design and eliminate the point of failure that is inherent in spinning drives?
I think you're right, and shortly we may start to see laptops without hard drives. We may eventually see the same thing in desktop computers, but the weight and size of hard drives is less of an issue there, and cost is more of an issue, so it may take a while. The heat and noise of hard drives is also a negative which will be fixed by going to SD cards. StuRat 17:10, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
The reason is a limitation on miniSD and related technologies: they all use flash memory, which has a limited number of write cycles. Unless you are using an operating system designed to be used on flash memory, the repeated use (for instance, virtual memory, temporary files, and atime updates) will wear it down too quickly. A hard disk drive can be written to many more times than flash memory (and, in fact, the main factor on wearing it down would be either the bearings failing or stiction). Some modern systems are being designed with flash memory in mind; for instance, the OLPC project laptops (see $100 laptop). -- cesarb 18:01, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm puzzled by the evolution of this. Since the use of the sting kills the bee, surely the first bees to develop this mutation should by definition have not survived to pass on the advantage? -- Dweller 19:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
1. I'm not even sure bumblebee bees have hives. 2. Honey bees' stingers can repeatedly sting another insect, so I would imagine that most threats to bees come from other predatory and/or thieving (of their honey) insects, so it didn't make much sense to bother if the occassional bee happens to come across a mammal with much tougher and elastic skin and ends up kiling itself. - MSTCrow 21:34, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
How come eating raw spinach makes my teeth feel funny? Does it have some kind of astringent? — Keenan Pepper 20:39, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
So, for the million dollar question...is the spinach damaging my teeth or helping it? I read that spinach is high in magnesium and magnesium is helpful to tooth enamel.
i am currently building a labyrinth based on thee design of the labyrinth at chartre cathedral. one aspect of the design is the suggestion by one author, richard "feather" anderson i believe, that the entrance should be oriented to face the rising sun at the summer solstice. i would appreciate help in determining the significance and meaning of the eastern orientation and whether there are other examples.
thank you for your consideration and attention.
