  1. That depends on definition what is "illegal video". f.e. video made by somebody else, that you used and uploaded, f.e. some Hollywood movie. They're removed when YouTube is informed by original producer or movie making company that has rights for it. If you will use music that you don't have rights for, it will be also removed. Porno/controversy is another story. I made by myself, and uploaded to YouTube approximately 120 videos. None was removed. Below YT video there are buttons, More, and Report. If somebody will press it, YouTube admins are informed about something wrong with video, and taking look at it.
  2. In western country- probably without problem. In yours, I don't know. I have not seen bad sectors for ages. Couple my disks were running for years constantly 24h/7d in server machine. The main rule is to not spin/move disk while it's running, don't walk with laptop (unless it's SSD), don't shutdown by button but nicely close system software friendly way, use UPS to prevent sudden power off when there is no energy, etc. precautions.. If you will follow rules, chance to get bad sectors decrease.. If you don't care about rules, get SSD next time. Downloading 700 MB takes 70 seconds here.. (couple years ago it would take 47 seconds, but they were sold to worser provider) Let me guess- Hobbit 3rd?
  3. I have no idea what is scilab, but in C/C++ programming rand() function is returning results always the same way in a row. You have to use srand(time()) or similar instead of time() to have real pseudo-random values, every time different. http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/rand/ http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdlib/srand/ Typical application is using rand()/srand(), so try searching for how to feed srand() (shortcut from random seed). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Random_seed Maybe this will help a bit https://help.scilab.org/docs/5.3.3/en_US/rand.html Description "Warning: without a seed, the sequence will remain the same from a session to the other."
  4. Equilibrium between forces from two massive bodies canceling each other is not the same as anti-gravity.
  5. If you want to learn Latex commands read this http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics
  6. Interactive brain is using Macromedia Flash. Try Chrome, it has built-in flash. It's completely different technique. It's 3D modeled and pre-rendered to sequence of images, that are later showed in right order. Like in Diablo 1 or other isometric '90 games.
  7. Gold, Platinum or Palladium metal, or clean Graphite, for electrodes should be used to produce Hydrogen and Oxygen. And not dissolve electrodes. I am personally using Gold. But you have to use 24 carat Gold, not 14 nor 18 as these have just 58.3% and 75% of Gold.
  8. Are you familiar with Rydberg formula (1888 year)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rydberg_formula Which is extension from older Balmer formula (1885 year)? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balmer_series They both have n parameter, full integer positive. Data for Balmer series are gathered while ionization of Hydrogen gas by high voltage. Equation is describing observation made in laboratory. Schrödinger equation is just extension made 36 years later.
  9. Methane has mass ~[math]16\frac{g}{mol}[/math], so density ~[math]0.716\frac{g}{L}[/math] while CO2 and N2O have ~[math]44\frac{g}{mol}[/math] and density ~[math]1.977\frac{g}{L}[/math] Methane will simply reach much higher altitude in atmosphere, because of its lightness. CO2 is "eaten" by vegetables, and with time its concentration is decreasing when vegetables are growing. While methane will still be in upper atmosphere.
  10. Such devices (balloons) have smaller density than air. Density is mass divided by volume. But density of air is not constant but changing with altitude. So at some higher altitude air will have again smaller density than balloon, disallowing it to fly above this limit. Balloon with attached engines is called Airship http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airship (therefor you can control it and fly where you want) The most famous was Hindenburg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LZ_129_Hindenburg If you want to make something floating in air, increase volume, with same mass as before. f.e. suppose so we have tank with liquid Hydrogen, heat it, and it'll become gas, and fill balloon and whole device will start flying. If you want to land, cool it down and balloon will decrease volume.
  11. It's any ball that was confirmed to have normal weight. f.e. if A=B then either A and B is good.
  12. Imatfaal, try solving your weightings when ball 28 is heavy. I have feeling it's not covered case on the list. Am I blind? Have not sleep whole night, so I might be.. Is this PDF covering the all cases, or just general algorithm? Another thing. If 1-14 is equal 15-28, why would 28 being heavier?
  13. 2 million kilometers is very short distance in cosmic scale. It's just 5x distance to the Moon. Earth to Sun is ~150 million kilometers. Earth to the closest planet ~38 million kilometers in the most optimal situation.
  14. Because you're not counting correctly needed weightings. If you have 3 unknown balls. You need 1 weighting if you pick up two normal balls. If you pick up different and normal balls, then you need yet another weighting to make sure which is which.
  15. ?? Everything is in post #17. Average is 5.3 weightings.
  16. Don't learn quantum physics from it.. Two electron neutrinos don't make muon..
  17. But you never showed it in spoiler.. Or I am missing something? Where? In your head? It doesn't count. I have already showed you algorithm in post #24, when you asked.
  18. 2 mln k of what? Meters? Kilometers? Astronomic Unit? C?
  19. tar, simply write [spoiler ] ..... [/spoiler ]
  20. Binary-search is basically divide to half, and compare. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm Suppose so we have array of strings, and want to find correct one matching input (or whether it exists), you have length of array, so divide length by 2, and compare input string with entry that has index=length/2 if it's lower then you know that string you're searching for has index < length/2 otherwise it has index > length/2. Repeat it in loop, dividing remaining length/2 each time, and appropriately add/subtract center position, and you have ultra fast algorithm finding in library of words.. I have used such for dictionary that had multi million entries. You need just something like 22 comparison operations for 4 millions alphabetically sorted dictionary database. Variations of this algorithm are octree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octree and kd-tree http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-d_tree (typically input is 3d vector) Without them, Hollywood/TV would be in '60-'70 years, without computer generated special F/X.. ps. Of course it doesn't have to be string. It could be integer, float, or vector, or whatever you like, as long as comparison operator possible to make.
  21. That's why typical western housewife/househusband is using Teflon pan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polytetrafluoroethylene
  22. Almost like on roulette in casino (1 from 37). Once I saw that guy put maximum money (we have limits) on single number (and surrounding it pairs, corners etc. if you're not familiar with roulette hard to explain quickly), then croupier hit exactly that number, and guy earned ~40,000. And he leaved coins on the same number. Croupier hit it again, same number in a row! 80,000 earned in 3 minutes or so.
  23. Job is good thing. Thinking is even better thing. But job where you're thinking is the best thing*.. *) thinking about things good for human kind, like science.. So banker etc. kind of people, thinking how to screw up other people, excluded.
  24. I didn't read other solutions, so maybe somebody already used this technique: It's slightly modified binary-search algorithm. At best it'll find ball in 3 weighting (7.7%) At worst it'll find ball in 6 weighting (46.15%), and 5 weighting (46.15% cases).
  25. When people don't have other jobs to do, they are starting thinking..
