Alrighty then! 27th, the first day in Finland when you can buy fireworks (legally, that is). 6:00 PM on the 31st of December to 6:00 AM on the 1st of January is the period it's legal to get rid of them here. What sort of activities are you planning for New Year's Eve? Nothing? Fireworks? Some refreshing ethyl alcohol mixtures? Quality time with drunken relatives telling you how to live your life? At least I know what I'm doing: Apocalypse: Now - Finland Edition http://www.freewebs.com/gildedchem/apocalypsenow.jpg (a bit over 300kb, but high resolution, copy the address to your address bar since the direct link won't probably work) And that's not all, going to b…

can anybody explain me about the scientific information about earth quakes and especially tsunamis.

What do some people have to say about this? I myself, being a hockey player, think it's brutal. I don't know every little detail, but to a 15 year old it seems that the players are whining about more money even though they're getting paid hundreds of thousands of dolloars every year just to play a game that they love! Seems ridiculous to me, but like I said I don't know the other smaller details. Less tax to pay from what I can see.

MPAA has struck again, chopping the bit-torrent society at the knees. Suprnova.org has finally fallen. For many bit-torrenters, this was the best, if not only, site to get .torrent files. All I can say is that it will be greatly missed. If any others have anything to say, please share your comments here. Thank you RIP Suprnova

This was brought up in a thread earlier: http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=5124&page=2&pp=20&highlight=shields and I know that, so don't reference me to that. But, in that thread the subject was ignored and then the question I want to bring up wasn't answered- and I don't want to revive an effectively dead thread. Anyway.... In the future, when shields as we see them in sci-fi movies would be possible, I see three main types of weapons: gauss rifles (rail guns, gauss cannons, whatever) with magnetized rounds, explosive propelled projectiles (missiles), and lasers. We have lasers now that have destructive capabilities, it doesn't take mu…

hey man, i tried to PM you and it said that: "budullewraagh has exceeded their stored private messages quota and can not accept further messages until they clear some space." so clear up your inbox!!!!! what i wanted to say was: "can you just re-read this post: http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?p=120564#post120564 (by me) and answer it, im guessing that as we posted at similar times it wasnt there when before you typed your post.... this is all assuming no one else answers it before you're next online! thanks, jonathan aka 5614" i know that's almost bumping a thread but once a post becomes older people tend not to read them and …

Is it possible for an engineering process to be fully adiabatic??

Been lurking and finally decided to join and say hi. So Hello!

I'm going up to canada tommorow, so I won't be able to post for the next few days...I shall talk to thee upon my return.

I am a twenty-three year old male that is currently living in Montreal. I would describe myself as an eccentric self loathing, depressed human being. I dropped out of high school when I was sixteen. I never had a job. I only leave my apartment when I have to. I am currently on medication for depression and social anxiety disorder. Fortunately I was able to make a substantial amount of money from selling things on EBay and making some wise investment decisions. Unfortunately I spent most of the money that I made in a futile attempt to find happiness. I have reached a point where for the first time in my life I am having real financial difficulties. I think the money that I…

how do you do it? i assumed that if you changed the title of the first post of a thread then it'd work however i have done this on two threads of mine and it doesnt work so how do you do it?

I posted a thread under news, but it hasn't showed up. I gave links to wire service reports. Any - so far 3,800 confirmed dead. Do we have any members in that part of the world. Hope everyone is OK.

Do we spend enough on space exploration?

I am 55, been there, done that, got every kind of shirt you can imagine. I f*ked up, big time. Regardless, I made my life worth living. I don't know how much I can improve your life, but I am willing to give you perspective. Honest to God, from my own experience, perspective. Now - you must realize that from "my own experience" doesn't mean that it is right for you. You have to decide that for yourselves. I will tell you that my own mother lived to be 95. She had a marvelous mind and she taught me sooooo... very much. She died last year and I wish I had her with me now. When I was in high school, she said the same things, but I didn't listen. When I…
