if i am putting sound from my scart output on my computer to the amplifier of my sound system will that affect my amplifier in any way. is it already being amplified by the computer and if so is that bad for the amplifier of my sound system?

I don't know if this'll prompt any discussion, but it's gonna be quite a sight to behold, both during construction and after completion obviously, plus it serves such a worthwhile purpose. Go Australia! http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/bulletin/eddesk.nsf/0/A7BD712D34AE25B3CA256B12001BA833?open ...admittedly it's fairly old news, so hopefully a thread hasn't been and gone already...

Is there some website, where some books from amazon.com can freely download? I think, it isn't legal, but there isn't money

anyone got any tips? i smoke between 6 and 10 grams a day* which equates, due to the microscopic thinness at which i roll them, to about 50 a day. iv tried before, even successfully, to give up but i reached a point when i was about 16 when i just found it extremely hard to quit (im 23 now and started when i was 14). im going to give up at some point in the very near future, and just wondered if anyone has any hints to make it easier? i wanna go cold turkey, rather than using gum/patches. using nicotine to break a nicotine adiction seems a bit counter-intuitive to me, and the reason that i started rolling uber-thin fags is to lower my nicotine intake - so i dont thi…

I want to invest. Not really a lot of money, just a few shares. And I've decided to invest in Linux! I've looked for some "linux stock" but really havn't found much. http://www.bullsector.com/linux.html I don't know what most of the symbols are though. 1. First thing's first: How do I buy stock? I'm pretty sure my bank can do this but not possitive; and, I dont knwo if they charge. Next time I'm out I'll ask somebody there. I know I can sign up at a couple websites I've found, but I want to just buy more or less "directly." In other words, I do not want to pay $6 to buy $20 in stock. 2. I've looked at "LINUX" and it's been going up, but who exa…

Who dictates what the current fashion is? Is it mass producers ie Walmart, Target... Or is it hip expensive designers ie gucci, A&F... or is there someone else controlling our fashion?

http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=10026&highlight=chalkboard In this thread, I noticed a really tough problem. I posted it into other forum to seek for answers. I posted it in a forum which collects all the talents maths students in HK of this year. Today, I was notified of winning a prize for posting an interesting topic.

My maths teacher gave me this code that is based on an alphabetic numbering system, like A=1, B=2 etc. It is then encoded using a quadratic i dont know where to begin (70406535) (6825358770) (23136720258287) (175202) (70406535) (15026273520253570) (40673542535) (26236742535582) (735202582) (447175202535).

I want to discuss infinity. What is the nature of infinity? What is its shape, size and form? Is is eternal, everlasting, and for ever or is it subject to the Life Cycle Concept? Any feelings or ideas about infinity? hebrewboy

Hello all! I am doing a report for school and I would like a few opinions on a touchy topic. here it goes. According to your beliefs: Where does morality come from? How do you determine what is right and wrong? Is there really such a thing as “right” and “wrong?” And why do you believe the way you do? I don’t want to start a big fight or anything, I just want some quick comments, and maybe some discution. Ty

Can someone tell me or direct me to somewhere where it tells me how to post out equations and such on the boards?

Hi all, I'm a 17 year old high-school student who has been accepted to the following universities all of which are in Ontario, Canada: *Queen's University (with an 8,500$ scholarship) -mechanical engineering- *University of Waterloo (with a 2,000$ scholarship) -mechatronics- *Possibly in the University of Toronto (unknown) -engineering science (Aerospace engineering)- *Possibly in York University (unknown) -space engineering- I am undecided whether to choose the top engineering school, the more prestigious overall, or the one offering the most money... So, if any of you have attended, are attending or know something about any of the universities listed a…

Are the civilizations same as bacteria?? As you know when bacteria lives first its population increases fast then they spend the food and their population suddenly decreases and they all die. Are we same?? If we are not same as bacterias, we must control our population as fast as we can or humanity is in danger. Even its against capitalism we must do it for humanity. As I cannot tell it well because of my bad english , you must understand it... Think it well....???

http://maps.google.co.uk/ It doesn't seem to have the satellite feature yet, but you can do the mouse drag bit. I just thought I'd mention it since we were talking about it here a couple of weeks ago, and I know we have some UK folks in the forums here. Enjoy! Looks like it'd be great for tourists planning a visit, by the way. I see they have all the Underground and British Rail stations marked. I see the McDonald's is in place at Whitehall, so our plan to destroy your government is proceeding apace.

now that i have your attention blike, i was thinking, this site gets payed money to display advertising rite? and we all use this site and help make this site great, so shouldnt we all get a cut of the profit...? j/k, do u want us all to click on the ads once and a while to generate income for this site, or are u guys getting payed-to-display, rather than on a pay-per-click basis? if its pay per click, im sure most people would click an add, say, once a week to help fund this site if u asked us to (beats donating). just a thought.

I've been a pretty busy in school, work and with the family, haven't had a chance to log in here in quite a while. I'm glad to see lots of familiar people are still active and I hope to once again start spending more time here as this is a great community.

Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, in his late Seventies, and considered rather reactionary in his views, is now Benedict XVI http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=684431 The new pope was born in Germany, and just turned 78. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=683950 It seems that he has been active in resisting liberal reforms in the church (changes in sexual and reproductive ethics, women priests, and all that) just as his predecessor was. This news article has a good close-up file photo of what the Cardinal looked like giving a speech in the year 2000. It is a good portrait of the man in action, although 5 years out of date. …

The title says it all. Is there anything interesting I can do in my free time. Any ideas?

Does anyone have a vbulletin license or forums that they would be willing to give me? Perhaps you simply do not use them anymore...I'd like to run one. Thanks I seem to have lost mine, and since someone bought it for me, I cannot retrieve the information until I hear from them or something. I tried using some file recovery methods to finding the old license and password, but I can't seem to remember where I put it, or what file type I put it in (perhaps I zipped it?) I don't know. I am think I may have hidden it so no one could find it or recognize it...so, as it stands I most likely hid it from myself.

I have to take a trip from Europe to USA. Is it true that if you have no medical insurance you cannot be recovered in a hospital ? If you fall on the street with a heart attack that won't bring you to the hospital unless you are insured or pay? I think people who told me this are exaggerating. Exactly how does it work in the US if you need medical/hospital assistance ? Is it true you must pay very large sums of money if you are unfortunate and get sick there ? Also can you get a local US health care insurance for 1 or 2 months upon arriving in the US and at what price ranges ? Thanks for letting me know really how it is!
