I considered putting this under politics, but it's not related to any specific political event, just some observations and questions about how science and politics/society interact and sometimes clash... hope this is the right place: I've noticed that it seems we are at the same time dependent on science, benefit from it, and also are at it's mercy in ways that make us often (as a society) highly paranoid and skeptical. From what I've been able to tell, things kind of break down into one of of the following ways when new scientific theories or research is introduced into society: 1) "Yay Science!" When a medical diagnosis has an easy to treat solution, whe…

My PS3 seems to freeze from time to time and then I have to turn it off and and on again before it works. Does anyone know why this happens??

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Malamanteau This is the latest talk page I've seen that seems to indicate a bias against(or even, to some extent, hatred toward) xkcd. Is this dislike warranted? In either case, that talk page is hilarious. Merged post follows: Consecutive posts mergedhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Voynich_manuscript There's another example.

I picked up an old vinyl LP yesterday in the record store. Maria Muldaur "Waitress in a Donut Shop" Absolutely great shape, plays like it was 1974! I love to make a find like this! I'm listening to it now!

I was never exposed to in depth science studies but have always had a very curious mind in certain scientific aspects. With my lack of exposure I don't know how to turn my curiosity into an enjoyable lifestyle for myself and would like some metaphorical road signs for routes to take. First off you will need a little background info on me. I am by nature a lazy person and through out highschool I did just the bare minimum to get by. As a result I am currently in my second semester at a community college. However through out my life I have always had an amazing curiosity of relativity and have been constantly asking "what if.." for 19 years. I first wanted to be an …

If some one (accidentialy of course) is coming up with a good idea, how can he be sure that passing it on will be of benefit to him and his (potentialy) in poverty living family.

Ocean has huge energy which needs to be harnessed properly for its usage. Tidal power is the most predictable and reliable source, that is based on tried & tested principles of hydrodynamics and electrical engineering. Tides occur reliably and predictably, irrespective of weather changes. Ocean power energy can be created using tides and ocean current. Tides help in production of tidal energy through tidal dams and tidal turbines. In case of tidal dams, power is created using a barrage at a bay or estuary with large tidal range. Tidal turbines take advantage of fast-flowing ocean currents to create energy. The most prolific tidal turbines are horizontal axis turb…

Hello to everyone, I'm a new member so I'd like to great you all first! Like I've stated in the title, I have some problems regarding the learning process. I seem to forget rather quickly what I've learned and repeating doesn't seem to help at all. I've repeated what Bronze and Brass are for about 1x times till now and I still keep on forgetting. I'm finishing college this year, by the way. Anyway, I have really good grades and catch on really fast how things work and basic principles, but I forget the details in a heart beat. I struggle especially with subjects that don't have some kind of logic.. Like remembering composite materials names, or associating …

I am a science student who do no longer believe that global warming & climate change (theory) are results of man activities. Yeah, i believed it sometimes back but now I am convinced that it is just a propaganda, a way of making money from governments.(but u're not obliged to believe it too!). My problem is that in order to get marks in exams I am supposed to defend and clearly( if not persuasively) convince the teacher that it is the case.(You know all these chemistry eqns, physics ,essays and whatever is taught about global warming as a result of Co2 emissions ,etc.. when for me I believe otherwise.what should I do? Thank you!

Hello everyone, I hope you don't mind me crashing your forum, but I wish to poll Scientists with regards the upcoming election.

Has anybody noticed the clout of particles (lint?) coming with every peace of tissue pulled out of the box or is that only my cheap brand. It's most easily seen in rays of sunlight. If so, is that proper and or legal?

Is there any way to get a grant or scholarship just for books alone or some other way to get books if you don't have the money for them?

Got a HD TV, and after having problems, Comcast switched the Cable Box from their Scientific Atlanta Explorer 4250HDC to supposedly the newest thing, a CISCO RNG150. Am authorized for various premium stations and On Demand Video. Have always been able to record to either of my DVD/VCR recorders. Now when I try to record, get a message that it is Protected and cannot be recorded. Of course, Comcast just tells me that it an equipment problem. Of course it is, it's their hook up or the cable box. Until the new type cable box was connected, have alway been able to record anything that we are authorized for. Now even the NBC, CBS, ABC etc. stations are protected. …

Hey! Im taking a class right now and I need to find an article on that uses bad science to back it up. please help me.I have been searching for what seems like forever. I was hoping someone might have come across one or know where I could find one. Thanks

I'm currently playing WoW and the latest COD. However, at this very second I am playing this quirky little browser game while I should be working knifethrower Have a go if you fancy, it's strangely addictive

Of course, there are actually pros and cons but... 3 years ago I went from the States to Australia to marry the woman I met in an on line chat room long ago in 1998. I've by no means been more happy and online relationships can function out properly, (but then that's another topic, isn't it?). The only negative thing is that i miss the regular touch I had created along with my personal family group... that is until I discovered VOIP. Right now I talk to my mum quite a few times a week and my sister nearly each weekend... for Free of charge! . Say what you wish against VOIP, however the services it gives for me is priceless.
