sorry to ask this here. i remember seeing some discussion about how these questions should be asked in the math section, but in that discussion, somebody said that the people in the math section don't write in normal english, so i'll stick to you guys. and yes, i did try all sorts of apple discussions, but nobody's answered the damned question, so: i bought a white 60 gig picture ipod a ways back, and it's worked beautifully for me for a year or two. my dad just got two black video 30 gig ipods as freebies, and he wanted me to put some music on them for him. but for some reason, itunes (and another program - yamipod - that i've got) wont recognize the new ipod. when i first plugged it in, apple downloaded some new software and asked me to restart. i did, and though neither program recognizes the ipod (in any usb port i've tried,) the computer recognizes it as a removable disk, and the ipod screen shows that flashy do-not-disconnect thing. so the computer and ipod seem to be speaking, but itunes just isn't recognizing it. what the hell is going on? i've rebooted several times, and renamed the removable disk drive. help? sorry if this is clearly the wrong place to post this question, but everyone else is completely useless
yeah. none of that's worked, and the reset thingy isn't working, even if i hold up and down for a minute. is it possible that the problem has something to do with the fact that the freebie didn't come with a cd for itunes and whatnot. might there be specific updates and all that i'd need for this particular ipod?

In discussions on the A-bomb, there is generally an argument being made that one has to use high explosives to get the prompt supercritical mass for explosion, otherwise the excursion will be terminated before a huge amount of energy is released. Indeed, when one looks at cases like the SL-1 reactor, which became prompt supercritical, there wasn't an atomic explosion (though there was a steam explosion, which had the good effects of removing the moderator).
The time constants for neutron propagation and fission look very small compared to the time constants for, say, vaporizing the moderator water. So what exactly are the mechanism that prevent a "simple" prompt supercritical mass from exploding?
(We have exchanged ideas but none seem very convincing.) David.Monniaux 21:06, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
Well, this goes back to the original question: the time constant for the exponential blowup in neutron flux is very little. This means that in a tiny fraction of a second, tremendous amounts of energy are released.
In comparison, the time for physical reactions such as turning moderator water into steam, or physically blowing up the supercritical mass, seem higher. It seems not so obvious that, physically, the reaction may actually have time to heat up the moderator or break up the fissile material before it really has released a lot of energy.
http://www.milnet.com/nukeweap/Nfaq4-1.html#Nfaq4.1.5.3 seems a good pointer indeed. David.Monniaux 22:49, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
Is it possible to construct a bomb in such a way so as to use some sort of filler(as only 3%-5% of the material gets fissioned)to make an efficient device without unfissioned material?
can we blow a balloon underwater?
Let's forget about the possibility of drowning. Blowing a balloon under water using your mouth and lungs can be as easy as doing the same thing on land.
Imagine you're 10 m under water (1 extra ATM) and you have an air tank. The air tank is pressurized. The air from tank is depressurized before entering your mouth. So you inhale mildly pressurized air from the mouth piece. The air in your lungs is supposed to be 1 ATM higher in pressure when you're under water. You than remove the mouth piece and blow the air into the baloon. If you can do this under water, I think the balloon would still inflate normally. Maybe you need another diver to hold the mouth piece for you. -- Toytoy 12:17, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
No one needs to hold the mouthpiece for you, and the pressure pushing in the ballon is the same as the pressure pushing in your lungs, so the air you inhale will be in that pressure as well. The only problem to me seems to be to hold the balloon. Notice that if you fill the balloon with air at say 10m underwater, tie it, and release, it will blow up before reaching the surface because the pressure outside will decrease causing the air inside to expand. This is basic physics... and they teach it when you take scuba diving lessons. VdSV9• ♫ 18:09, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Where is all the information that we can access on on the web, stored?
On a wide range of servers. For example, Wikipedia is stored on the Wikipedia servers. If something happens to these servers, this can mean you can't access this information. At the same time, you can still access other information on other servers. The web isn't really a single thing, it is just a collection of connected servers. If you want to put something up on the internet, you either need a server that you keep connected or you need to find someone else who is happy to host your information on their server. The information doesn't just float in the ether, sadly. Skittle 09:53, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
I've read in several places that GIFs are compressed better if there are areas of continuous colour. However, I also read that they use the LZW algorithm. This works on repeated strings, which don't necessarily need to be the same colour repeated but could be a repeated pattern of colours. A large block of colour would be compressed more thoroughly by an algorithm like the RLE.
Is this a mistake in my understanding of how GIFs work, in the authors of the web pages I'm reading, both or neither? can someone please explain to me why, when using an LZW algorithm, a block of identical colours is compressed best (if that is the case).

Is it true that a mother seagull will fight to the death to defend her chicks from predators? -- 84.68.193.224 12:19, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
In general, success in breeding means that birds who choose fairly open nests must be ferocious in defending them. They will not go to the point of death, since that is not a formula for success. If you canoe up to a seagull nest, you will be bombed and pecked, and shouting 'owies' in no time. If you go up to a Canada Goose nest, you are risking broken limbs. When I was young, I once tried to return a baby bluejay to its nest. Owies! On the other hand, a sandpiper uses a highly concealed nest, and tries to passively lure the blunderer away. -- Zeizmic 16:25, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
There are loads of seagulls in my town, yet I never see any sleeping around here at night. When it starts getting dark, I see them all taking to the air and leaving the town to go somewhere else. What sort of place do they usually go to roost/sleep? -- 84.68.193.224 12:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Would it be possible to connect an orbiting satellite to the earth with a cable or hollow cyllinder? It seems that if a cable/cylinder were connected, the points on the cable close to the earth would have to be moving very very fast for that point to stay in orbit, if it were not moving that fast, gravity would pull it towards the earth. So it seems to me like if someone connected the moon to the earth with a thin cable, the earth's gravitational field would pull it towards the earth. Is this correct? My reasoning here is that something close to the earth has to have a higher radial velocity than something further away. If they were forced to be the same via a cable... would the earth pull on the cable, and thus pull on the moon? 199.201.168.100 12:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

A colleague of mine, a teacher, was wondering if it would be possible to calculate the amount of moisture lost by a plant through one of its leaves on an hourly basis, given the leaf's surface area, the local humidity, temperature, et cetera. She has taught her students frequently about how in the desert, plants have adapted to the harsh, dry environment by having leaves with minimal surface area; she has also heard and repeated some factoid about how the Hoover Dam loses some millions of gallons of water per hour due to evaporation. Since the children are in fifth grade, any sort of crude approximation, or hint about how to generate such an approximation, would be enlightening for them.
The teacher also has a two-foot long leaf from some healthy tree living near a creek in the Boston area; any information about what families of broad-leaved trees inhabit that region would be deeply appreciated.
Many thanks from your most humble and obedient servant,

Apparently thru the 1500's the most common theory as to the cause of cancer was an excess of black bile. ( the bile I have encountered is yellow ) With the discovery of the lymphatic system this belief ended. Time, ability to do autopsis and the inquiring minds of many physicians " laid the foundation for scientific oncology during the 1700's. I have added this Reference desk to my favorites.

By the end of the year I am planning on getting a new computer. I have always been fascinated by the beauty of Macs as opposed to PCs. The problem though is that in the past my dad has always bought new computers every 4-5 years for his office and puts in an order for me because it costs a lot less due to the bulk order. Now that I am going to buy a computer for/by myself, I definitely want a Mac because Windows computers crash (a lot) and all the other problems that windows encounters that Macs just don't. To get to my question, is there any new lingo I would need to learn, anything considerably different that would freak me out. I know when I switched from Internet Explorer to Mozilla Firefox it had a whole little help page for those in my situation. Like instead of refresh it's reload, etc. Maybe there's an article/web-page on the subject. Thanks. schyler 22:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
