Anyone plays neopet? Do you know how to hack some money?

In the mid-1980’s, when the Internet was virtually an unknown entity, Armand Rousso started what is widely regarded as the first e-commerce company: The International Stamp Exchange. Did anybody know that?

Information is sketchy right now, but it is reported that there was an 8.5 mag earthquake in the indian ocean and an 8.3 magnitude in sumatra.

I know I keep harping on about it quite a bit recently, but what's stopping people from coming on IRC? I've posted a small poll about it, hope you'll all vote. I've always been a big fan of IRC, and I think for a community like this it's a great asset. Hope I'll see you all soon

I find it interesting how much my beliefs and world view have changed since I started this forum. Reading through some of my older posts is like reading a completely different person. I guess it's just easy to see the change because everything is documented. For most people, they don't realize how much they've changed. It was only after reading some old school posts that I realized how different I am. Anyone else have similar experiences here or elsewhere?

A burnt rubber doll was mistaken for a badly injured alien and taken to a hospital in Brazil. It happened after people in Aracruz found a burnt ‘body’ on the ground after seeing a fireball fall from the sky. A police spokesman told Terra Noticias Populares: “Many people were terrified thinking that an alien invasion was taking place. “They thought the doll was a burnt ET and more than 50 people called the station.” I JUST THOUGHT THIS WOULD CHEER UP EVERYONES DAY! LOL!

Would you give someone your name if they asked for it here (on SFN)? Or let's change that a bit... what's your name*? *Name refers to first name and surname e.g. Bob Smith

I keep dropping hints, but i havent heard much since. Any of such going to be put on offer? For Good Behaviour , or to buy?

I know I am not alone on this one, but there are obviously different levels of agreement on it... How do most of you feel about the scientific field these days? Do you think quality of science and thinkers is going down? It seems to me that more and more I find myself rolling up my eyes when talking science to colleagues and even supervisors. It boggles me how ignorant and at the same time how cocky the scientific community appears to be. Maybe the reason for it is just because I am actually learning and realizing I/we know nothing about the world/how nature actually works, or maybe it's a result of overpopulation taking an effect in the scientific community (bi…

Hello all, I had a question I was debating with someone over drigas . If you have 20 gallons of gasoline, and due to sitting or the inside of the metal gas tank sweating , it has an additional gallon of water in it. How much DriGas is required to "displace" that gallon of water, making it burnable/combustable, and thus not affecting ther engine? He says its a one to one ratio. (It'll take an additional gallon of Drigas to fix the problem? I'm saying less then a quart is needed.

Although it has risen regularly over time, A friend has a a son whose IQ score (combined) is 89. He did pass part of a statewide mandated test this year. There were two sections and he passed the English section and was just short of passing the math section, literally only a few points away from passing. He gets average grades, rarely anything below a C. He was adopted when he was 5 from another country and he was below the height and weight for a normal child his age, WAY below, so perhaps nutrition played a role in his IQ, not just genetics. Nearly 8 years later, his grammatical and writing skills lag below his peers, which makes me wonder if college would ever be an o…

Would it be safe and efficient to run a natural gas Bunsen burner with LPG?

Hello, I put a box on a scale to see how heavy it was. The scale only went up to ten kilos but the box was heavier than that. However the needle did spin around 1.5 times so I figured the box was about 15kgs. Then someone came out with the comment, "You're no scientist, are you! It's not a linear scale. Once it goes past that point it is no longer accurate." Is that true. TIA, Jez
