The NBA lockout is being heard everywhere. I still don't get it, does it mean that there is not enough ecnomical supply to NBA so they have to close like 1998? By the way, in your views, what teams of NBA next season will likely to give audiences a huge surprising change like the Suns did last season? I am thinking of Warriors. What do oyu think Warriors will be if Baron keeps healthy?

Who has seen NBA final Game 7? Before the very last 6 minutes, the game looked interesting. By then, pistons did not do well on defense, slacking off. If Piston came hard at the end, the result won't be like this.

Recently I have been needing a very high dose of a specific supplement do to medical reasons. So I wanted to purchase some vitamins over the internet to cut cost, because the supplement isn't cheap... I was wondering what yall thought, is it a good idea? Also, if I were to do so, how would I check out a company to make sure they aren't screwing me? Any advice?

Why can't I access it? It says I might not have the privileges or something....

i have heard that if you put bologna on a car and leave it for like 5 minutes it will strip the paint off and youll have a polka-dotted car. is there any truth to this? as a senior who just graduated, its important for me to know such things. are there any other substances that will damage a cars paint job? if egg is left on too long will it cause any damage? me and my friends like to get creative with the pranks, but i dont want to end up having to pay for a paint job.

subtitle is: A Wall Street Tycoon and the Secret Palace of Science That Changed the Course of World War II This book is great so far. The tycoon is Alfred Loomis who made a bundle in the stock market and had a penchant for doing physics. He built a lab at his house that was better than any physics lab at any US university in the 1930's. From experiments that he and others performed, he attracted many heavy weight scientists to his home. This is about as far as I have gotten. The great thing about this book is that it is only 8 bucks from Amazon as a hardcover. tuxedo park

The Onion this week is an absolute riot. Celebrating its 300th anniversary of being America's finest news source. (rofl) http://www.theonion.com/2056-06-22/index_b.php Some of my favorite headlines: "Lunar Olympic Officials Continue Search for Missing Pole Vaulter" "117-Aerocar Pileup Clogs Troposphere for Hours" "Time-Travel Pilots Union Dispute Resolved Instantly" My favorite feature is the Alert that says "Your browser does not support ambient alpha-wave memestreams. Concentrate here to upgrade." ROFL! (Okay, I've been spending WAY too much time on the Internet....)

I watched a movie this weekend - "What the Bleep Do We Know" - a truly thought-provoking, intiguing movie relating quantum physics and other sciences to perceptions, perspectives, realities, and more. My question is, "Have any of you experienced anything the people in this movie profess?"

Wasnt sure where to put this, so GD it is. Mysteriouse wierd purple dot thing stare at the outside of the ring, and you can clearly see a ring of purple dots with a green dot rotating around the circle. if you try and follow the green dot, it disappears, to be replaced by a rotating gap in the purple dots. if you stare at the cross in the centre, all of the purple dots will dissapear. wierd, neh?

if so, how many years of foreign language? I know Yale has a new foreign language requirement thing for undergrads. What are the "minimum" SAT and GPA's needed to get in? And is sports and extra-curricular SUCH a big deal?

I'm new here, so I thought I'll say 'Hi'. I hope to clear up misconceptions and answers questions in physics, materials science/engg and physical/theoretical/quantum chemistry.

I saw on the aviator about that guy, Howard Hughes, who has that disease. I can relate to it. I have actually been diagnosed with OCD. I am scared. The OCD started when I was seven and got progressively worse. I am scared that I will turn out like Howard Hughes. I am so scared. I don't want it to happen. Not to me. I can't handle the idea. I have the common symtoms, with the exception of the germaphobia. I don't know how to cope. Any suggestions??? Plz?

Unless Im missing something, there is no where to post meteorology or climatology... ecept in General Science... but computers and engineering have their own section. Unless topics which include meteorology would go in physics? Although alot has to do with temperature, it is quite a different field. I think we should have one (unless i just dont know where to find such topics) - do you?

Spurs and the Piston series was tied up. I think game 5 will be very critical; who wins it, who has less pressure. The first 4 games were craps. The margin of difference were way too big. I want to see some classic tight game, but hope it will happen this Sunday. So guys, according their performance, who has mroe advantages to win the Final??

Hello all, Please help me and a friend solve a long-running argument. One of us is stating simply that birds are reptiles. The other is stating that while they may have both evolved from Dinosaurs, birds are distinctly a seperate group of animals. Please help!!!!!

I am 21 years old this year, hoping to gain 2 inches taller. Is it possible if I live normally? Did you see any incident that your friends who were 20 something gain some taller every summer?

I don't understand what the "Warning Maturity" thingy is, what do the numbers represent, I mean, they show the things are in order of maturity, but why not 1 to 10 or sumin?
