  1. How do you know it's XRumer? I don't think it does malware, it's a legal software...spambot....legal pain in the arse.
  2. We were born with the instinct to lift correctly... but then... we unlearn it as we grow older!
  3. Yes, just because a paper is paywalled at one site doesn't mean that it is elsewhere. I can more often than not find free access by copy/pasting the title in Google.
  4. Maybe, they follow the mottos "You have to speculate to accumulate " or "You reap what you sow". Even though this is obviously not a cognitive effort on ther part, if they follow an automatic behaviour pattern of pulling plant matter into the ground they can make their environment more moisture-retentive, easier for personal transport and aerobically more hospitable in the long term. Eventually they can graze on the matter they pulled down, which will be in various states of decomposition, ensuring continuous nutrition. It looks to me like an evolutionarily advantageous strategy.
  5. Ccleaner can securely wipe it (and other folders) if it bothers you without removing it (free one). You need to set it to secure wipe in Options > Settings otherwise it just deletes which is not the same. You can get it to run at start up in Settings as well.
  6. This might interest you arc: http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jgg/issue/archive.
  7. You are absolutely right in your approach. I forgot this is the Maths section and the rules are specific to avoid confusion for serious learners of established principles. Apologies.
  8. So what was the path organisms followed to manifest as they are now?
  9. I think you need to lighten up.
  10. No idea, but Unity is interested even if he doesn't manage it. Even if one doesn't achieve ones goal exploring we always learn something new about the landscape we've just explored.
  11. Sorry, I meant not interested in the sense of attempting to explore beyond what is known.
  12. Tree surgeons? They treat trees for diseases as well as cut them.
  13. Using this Which? article as reference. You have up to 3 or 4 weeks to outright reject an item if faulty for a refund. After that period, up to 6 months, it is the responsibility of the seller to repair/replace the item or prove the buyer caused the fault. After 6 months the situation is reversed and the buyer has to prove the fault existed at the time of purchase, which may entail an expert's report supporting their claim; this can be claimable for up to 6 years. In my experience it seems most shops give a 1 year no-quibble guarantee against faults.
  14. I think the difference between Unity's view and the others is that the latter aren't interested and accept the expert consensus thus far, but he's interested and exploring it.
  15. No, he's messing about, humorously, that he will gladly take your money.
  16. The first leaf-like structures a seedling produces are called cotyledons and these hold the initial energy store until proper leaves are formed and can photosynthesise new energy reserves.
  17. It's only the UK retailer's responsibility for a year isn't it? Then the manufacturer's guarantee, which is at their discretion if they offer one or not beyond 12 months, subject to the complainant satisfying the conditions of their warranty. The statutory guarantee is for 12 months as I understand it, whether it be the retailer or manufacturer that honours it.
  18. Thanks for that Latest from Wikipedia is: That one gives a bit higher figure of 1 400 000 +/- 47 000mph.
  19. I call people resistant to new technology or ideas Luddites. Cross posted with iNow.
  20. You can only feel speed when there's an undergoing change in it ie acceleration (in physics this means both up or down in speed). It's other visual and physical cues that is telling you that you are moving. Take them away and you wouldn't have a clue you were moving.
  21. You are moving through the universe at 1 200 000mph WRT CMB; are you having a problem at this speed? If it feels like this at that speed, what will it feel like near the speed of light? At any constant speed, in a straight line, you will feel stationary.
  22. That's alright. I learnt something new from it, . I didn't realise until today that most of the different galaxy forms are in fact various evolutionary stages of the same phenomena and the further away you look the greater the prevalence of one type of galaxy i.e. an earlier form.
