Hi, I'm new to this forum but though I'd share a newfound solution to a problem I'd been having for a long time. I have a spreadsheet of compounds along with various properties and common uses etc... which I like to be able to sort by use, or molucular mass for example. My problem was that I could easily sort those sorts of thing, but when it came to sorting the compound names themselves I was stuck!!!! Has anyone else had this problem? Anyway, I thought there might be something in Excel you could use to help, and after literally DAYS of searching the Web I stumbled cross a little known add in for excel called 'Chemical Sorting' which lets you ignore parts of the …

-repetition- sorry.

Wow it's my 200th post. It sure doesn't seem like that many. I don't know what I would do without SFN. It has been my small grasp of sanity in this world. How long have these forums been alive btw? :edit: crap its only 199. Don't know how I screwed that up.

Within what time period do you anticipate the beginning of space tourism, i.e. easy access to at least the established boundary of space on a large scale?

It started as a quiet evening in the SFN bar. JohnB and Tetrahedrite had been sharing a few rum and cokes while enjoying a companionable silence. Glider was in the far corner finishing off his thesis on "Insanity in The Scientific Community Online". Snail had obviously got in a while before we had, the trails were getting decidedly unsteady. Most of the usual crowd were here and we knew Pangloss was due soon by the large number of seagulls wandering about. JohnB was pondering his future as a professional exhibitionist while Tetra was suffering a crisis of conscience. Should he reveal the existence of the 50 kilo nugget of a new and totally unknown mineral combination …

What type or articles does the Nature magazine have? I looked online a little but I'm interested to hear from a subsriber. It also said it costs $80 a year for a student, why is it so much?

Ever since learning to integrate in high school Calculus, I've been curious as the the physical meaning of the integral of position w/ respect to time. Over the years, the topic has come up again and again in my mind, and have finally decided to put an end to my pondering; or at least let others ponder with me. Is there any firm grasp of the concept of the meter-second already in existence? Is there a good use for this? I have come to call the integral of position wrt time "longevity" as that seems to be the best term in my mind to describe it. From what I have been able to determine with some simple thinking is that longevity can be related to amount of energy…

Does anyone here think that the imax movie is any good?

have you ever had a dream that Felt real, and you only realised that it was only a dream when you woke? ive had one that when i woke up, i was shaking, my heart was pounding, and i was in a cold sweat. it started with me walking into my back yard, and when i got there i saw three tornados about 40 meters from me(im not sure about the exact distance, just alot closer than id like to be). i ran into the house and told my mom, thats when i woke up. you know that sinking feeling you get when your scared? i got that in the dream. right when it saw the tornados any ideas on how the can seem so real? and why the effect us so?

I'm in the making of a science website called Solving Science (I have it in my signiture) and I need your help with it. If you are willing to work for this website as a hobby, I will appreciate it if you can send me news articles, pictures, etc. The website also has a forum (thats working right now) that I would like some moderators for. Please PM me with what you can do to help if you would like to do so. Thank you for all of your help. P.S. I will post a little bit about the website after I publish just in case you would like to explore it.

I was just wondering why nothing from the speculation boards is ever displayed on the Home Page's recent posts listing. I use the Home Page to quickly catch up on the most recent updates to the boards, but I've just realised that it dosn't give a true picture of which threads have been most recently contributed to...

Does anyone know how Leonardo Da Vinci used the scientific method? I was readying an article and it concluded with this question. I would realy like to know. And if possible, if you could provide some evidence how.

I have been fascinated with this particular tale for years. Sounds like some funky quantum mechanics to me. What are your thoughts on this? *Text taken from Weird U.S. by Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman.

Hello my friends. A buddy of mine has a theory about a certain controversial device effects on the human body. This device purportedly uses VLF radio waves to destroy pathogens. I do not share his opinion about it, and am looking for some hard scientific fact to disprove it. The first step. I would like to find out what EM wave frequencies are required to penetrate certain parts of the body and what power output is required to do so. For instance, the skin, the blood vessels, muscle, fat, or bone. I realize that EM waves with the shortest wave length (highest frequency) penetrate the body best, but my interest lies in VLF frequencies in the range of 1Hz to 10KHz. …

hey every1~ Since the last semester, I've gotten 79 for up to 4 times. First, I got 79 in my spanish class, then on american history test. Again, on the second test of amer. hist., and on my eng. regents. I am not sure why I'm keep geting 79s. What can be the cause in your opinion. I'm not worried, btw. I am just curious.

There's this guy I know named Prince. He's this pompous, elitist jackass who constantly finds the time to annoy me. He has everything. Money, my ex girlfriend, etc.. It's the second thing that really pisses me off. He recently gets my old girlfriend and starts rubbing it in my face. I have no clue as to why she'd go out with him, he's quite a chauvinistic arse. I'm trying to resist the urge to leave a 3 inch deep footprint on his face. Any suggestions as to how I can bring him down verbally?

We will see in our lifetime:

Although this may be considered prying, it does not stiffle my curiosity. But, I was wondering, what do you all do for a living? Nothing too specific, I know how important everyones privacy is nowadays, especially with the rampant wire-tapping. With all the intelligent people in this forum, I can assume that most people are relatively successful in their own respects. I suppose as a show of good faith; I, being only 17, work at the subway in the next town over, but I will be quitting there as soon as I graduate and will be working for a wiring company through my cisco class. I'll be wiring the new wing of the high school and completely re-wiring the elementary, t…

I know we still have hair and such from people like Mozart and Beethoven and I am sure many other brilliant minds (like Einstein’s maybe)? Is anyone making an attempt to save their DNA so that in the future analysis could be done to see if there was something different about in the genetic code in order to see what made them tick? I know it might sound stupid, but I think once genetic engineering comes around, it might be important… no?

found some goldworth material on this page: http://lordofnet.blogspot.com/ articles i noticed: Monumental internet projects Talking with A.I. 4th DImension Objects Origin of SMiley free phone calls from pc to phone tutorial etc...

This is pretty crazy... http://itch.com, a search engine that lets you search multiple forums on the internet. I'm seeing a lot of hits on SFN.

which one of these is the most powerful or better to use in a nuclear weapon?
