How would this work? I thought that when you used NaCl one of the products was NaOH, so wouldn't you just have the southern cation swap going on?

or get one of those masks.

It's not possible. In fact, I think if you succeeded the entire universe would undo itself. Same goes for Windows Media Player.

.exe means any executable file. You can turn that java class file into one if you wanted. It is not reserved for C programs. The thing is, you don't compile and run whole operating systems on top of windows, and the .exe is meaningless anyway because that is simply a way for the user to keep things straight. The point is that you have an executable binary file. And yes, Windows basically is just a big .exe, but it comes in parts. You have your explorer.exe shell which utilizes the other libraries to give you the whole experience. That is why programs can replace your shell and make windows look all funny. On an unrelated note, your avatar is stupid. No one likes looking at Bill Gates, especially with that stupid grin on his face. Have some self respect, man.

It's called "the step"; it seperates the metals and nonmetals. You should also notice it seperating Hydrogen and Lithium, since Hydrogen doesn't really fit with the other group 1 elements.

Sure, I will just go and take the battery out of my parents' car! I am also under the impression that car batteries aren't that cheap. There aren't even hicks with their cars up on blocks waiting for the battery to be stolen around here.

You can use sulfuric acid, but it is hard to obtain (as I have been trying). I've also seen "glauber's salt" (Na2SO4) mentioned, but I don't know where you would find that either.

Watch out, you are also producing chlorine gas! Also, when it comes to batteries, more is better. ([sic] on the 'is' btw for my literate homies)

You can learn that it is a pain in the ass. Assembly language is mostly useless, since it only works for one particular architecture and is so low-level that it is downright tedious. There are some amusing uses, like MenuetOS, which is a small operating written completely in assembly that fits onto one floppy disk. This is of course just for fun though, and there is no reason why you would ever really want to use it.

Perl and Javascript do not come compiled, since they are scripts. They are merely interpreted each time the script is run. In the case of Perl (which I am rather good at) a compiling-like process takes place, but it's not exactly the same. Java is usually transmitted as a binary file that is then further interpreted by the JRE, so to view Java source you will need to decompile it first.

Albert, you need to try a bit harder to fine stuff on your own before asking frivolous posts (if this sounds arrogant, it's because I am when it comes to computers). Open Source means that the source code in whatever language used is open for anyone to view for no cost. Do not confuse this with copy-left or public domain. Look up the GNU General Public License for more info. Most programs can only be compiled for one particular operating system and architecture. This is due to the different shared libraries and API's that each operating system uses. When it comes to compiling your operating system, such as linux any programs necessary for installation are included as binaries (such as the gcc compiler or fdisk utility in linux) so that they can be used to set up the system and allow more packages to be compiled. It seems like you are wondering about the Windows source code. This is very protected. You cannot "see" the source code either, since it comes as a binary file.

Sounds like you basically mean a hex editor, which allows you to edit the hex or binary code of any file. (note: I didn't read most of the above posts, so sorry if someone said that already).

conversion programs are your friend.

no one likes .mov's either. Go for mpg if you want to be more versatile. http://www.1asphost.com should give you some space for the movies.

I hear that Java is gaining popularity as a serious programming language, plus I'm sure it would be easier to start of with than something like C++. Also, with Sun making Solaris open source now there could be even more excitement. I think I've even heard of an OS being written in Java. I've dabbled in C++, but I'm pretty proficient in PERL. I'd say I'm pretty beastly on those TI calculators with a BASIC-like languag.

Mg(OH)2 is a magnesium atom with two hydroxide (OH) groups (so two oxygen and two hydrogen overall). MgOH2 would be a magnesium with one oxygen and two hydrogens. When the letters are in parentheses it means that the subscript is applied to both atoms. When there is no subscript, 1 is implied. Bud, sorry; didn't realize you got THC already since you had the structural formula.

C10H14N2 (nicotine), C21H30O2 (tetrahydrocannabinols), C9H13N (close to Adderall and Ritalin)

lol. Better to just start rubbing some sticks together and pray for some hear. Or better yet, start walking.

Ha... nave is evan backwords... just call me rotciv then.

^You can do lots of things in the school chemistry lab if your teacher isn't a bitch like mine. In fact, I would be so much smarter if I had a good chemistry teacher who realized I actually care about the class and am way ahead of everyone else.

^And what do we call it when a substance rapidly decomposes into gases which expand outward?

^Wow. I live in PA and my jalapenos were not much to brag about (good for making poppers, but that's about it). I didn't have a large bell yield either. If you plant some banana peppers around those habaneros the next generation will likely be hot banana peppers (great if you like playing pranks on people).

Yt... I was making a joke about the extreme salt and MSG content of chinese food... I guess you have to be American to get it? I grow some of my own vegetables too. Cucumbers, tomatoes, jalapenos, bell peppers, pumpkins, and some basil and parsley. Hopefully the garden will expand this year.
