Never reinstall windows without forming. That's a good way to turn your PC into a cluster****.

Just back up any important data, format, and reinstall. Your machine is probably overdue anyway.

Basically, the criss-crossing metal is what makes it work. For current to pass through one circuit (think one street in an intersection) electricity also has to be flowing through the other (the other street, except the cars don't crash). Hence the 1/0 on/off action.

http://www.howstuffworks.com has some nice articles on the subject.

Making closed drivers is the companies' way of protecting their products and hindering open source. It pisses people off, but since the driver at least works it stops them from complaining too much.

Albertlee, it is not as simple as just copying some .dll's from windows over to linux to get windows support. The Wine project (http://www.winehq.org) is working on it though, building windows libraries and API's from scratch.

I'm sure that Sun had to be very careful when they made that system, and put a lot of money into lawyers' pockets. The terms of the GPL license, which most open source software is released under, are pretty complex when it comes to shared libraries and stuff, and what they can and can't be included in. See, normally if you use any GPL code in a project, the entire thing must in turn be released under the GPL or a GPL compatible license, but when you are just including a library things become messier.

you double posted the same thing, except one is an image and the other is text.

BTW, look at when the original post was created. Udødelig just highjacked a really old thread with no replies.

^It's worderful when a thin layer is attatched to flat a piece of iron, as you can then cook food without having the food stick. Makes cleanup really easy.

It is just a linux distribution put out by sun.

Probably not even worth trying.

Go and build some hills or whatever you do in Denmark, until you grow up.

I think it's digging canals.

Post that rainbow bar.

Obviously a Java system is going to natively run on the Sun SPARC architecture.

I thought that work on a completely java OS wasn't completed yet. What are you talking about? Provide some links.

lol... taking the exam before the class! more power to you.

i mean, people in my class think i'm really smart (and a major nerd) because i knew most of the chemistry we learned. I can only imagine how you are viewed by your peers.

I use MS Office 2000 and it's great for all your school needs.

I may have accidentaly made an image of the cd... pm for more info

Well, when I formatted my linux partiton for ReiserFS, it asked if I wanted to do a "secure format" (or something) where the data was actually overwritten, or just do a normal "wipe the FS" format. Obviously the former will take much longer, but I don't even know if windows has that option. I know there are utilites that will do it for you though (several times, if you're paranoid).

As long as it is going (albeit slow) just let it be. If it freezes, which has happened to me in windows, then maybe there is a problem.

are you allowed to use Oraganic chems' date=' such as 1-2-3 propan triol

or ethylene Glycol for instance ?[/quote']

 

Probably not, since he said salt. Plus, the K values only work for a nonvolatile solute.

 

We recently made ice cream in chemistry class, with the excuse being that we were studying freezing point depression.

The K_f value for water is 1.853 C/m. This means that the boiling point depression is equal to 1.853 * m, m being the molality of the substance. Molality is the moles of solute divided by the kilograms of solvent.

Thus, if you have a .5m aqueous solution, the freezing point depression will be 0.9265 degrees, the freezing point being -0.9265.

The same thing goes for boiling point elevation (K_b). This contstant is 0.515 for water, so with that same aqueous solution the boiling point will be 100+(0.515*.5) = 100.2575 C.

Each solvent has a different constant value, which you can look up. Realize that it has nothing to do with the solute, just the molality of the solution. Your results should be the same for any salt you use.

I'm American. We have money and power, and we are jackasses. Thus, when I say that it is spelled "color," that is indeed how it is spelled.

Owned. (now give us your oil.)

We are like a bit of algae in the sea of google. They won't care if you just casually click.

Just say that people are interested in the science links.

I think formaldehyde is the third most common compound in the universe, if my memory serves me right.

I find that hard to believe.

I don't know. I guess it could be any system you like.

windows 3.1 was. From there it evolved further.

To create you own version you would need the windows source code, which of course is greatly protected.

The obvious answer is that he is a wizard like Harry Potter and will be getting a letter from Hogworts in the mail any time now.

Another OS. Linux grew from Minix, which it turn was derived from UNIX.

Of course the first OS was programmed in machine code... or pieces of paper with holes in them.

you mean, like, when it was first created?

They probably used the BSD system it was based off of and modified from there.

And price isn't really a problem on this wonderful internet we have.

well at least he didn't swallow.
