Food preparation can be an issue. Energy needed, time, water for dish sanitation, and a location to do all this at.

There are Brain Computer Interfaces. Control real or simulated devices with your thoughts alone. You can get information out, easier than you can put information back in though. Not impossible, just very rudimentary what we have at present. Leg jerk type movements. Progress but pretty trivial in real world terms. We're nowhere near a lush virtual environment being broadcast directly into your brain. Real world you are probably looking at a BCI + Display + Audio system.

People may be interested in the general sense, but not in this particular case. Not personally interested in debate by proxy, just speaking for myself. Better to just educate yourself on the common debate points. Rational Wiki has a bunch of them in easy format. Knowledge of the different logical fallacies can also help.

That is the current thinking as to retrograde moons, that they formed elsewhere and were then captured. Tidal forces act to slow retrograde moons eventually causing them to break apart or crash if they are too close or massive. They have to end up the sweet spot between being captured and crashing, which explains the lack that we observe today. Triton itself is expected to crash in the future, so if you're prepared to wait awhile, you'll have an awesome show. As to the material, don't know. I'm sure there's been research done on some of their compositions. I'm kind of doubtful based on their size that they'll all be the same, but just my gut feeling.

There's conductive glass if that's what you are talking about. Could also pass current via electromagnetic fields. Are these questions stemming from a goal or project?

I generally agree, but there is some knowledge out there that can lead to self destruction. So, yeah, depends on what you are ignorant of, rather than a blanket statement.

I do wonder about that sometimes, could a program pass the Turing test by posting on a science forum? Anyways I don't feel we know enough at this point to say that the Universe will die. Best we can do is extrapolate based on present conditions, which we know were different in the past. Black holes have a good bit of stored matter/energy, so worst comes to worst they should keep things going longer than otherwise. Form change is probably most viable option with what we know at present. Just about going to have to anyways if we want to venture out into the larger Universe. Start small with synthetics, genetic engineering, machine incorporation and work our way up to the more exotic.

Resistance(Joule Heating) and the thermoelectric effect. Thermoelectric effect would be what you'd want to look into if you want cooling. Peltier coolers and the like.

Air resistance along with that.

Mob mentality or peer pressure would probably fit.

2) Evolution didn't assume. A mutation occurred and the circumstances favored that mutation. 3) Here you are assuming the individual didn't use their intelligence to the fullest extent. Out compete others for food, kill off competition, take multiple partners. Likely there was an environmental threat as well that the individual's intelligence and later the group's intelligence gave them greater ability to cope with. There is evidence of interbreeding. Probably wasn't as nice as people make it out to be, but evidence nonetheless. Was probably more a result of time and tides than anything deliberate. Push a group to the marginal areas, famine, disease, genetic isolation start taking their toll. Eventually all that remains are traces.

Meat contains natural B12 cobalamin versus the artificial form of cyanocobalamin. Cyanocobalamin leaves traces of cyanide as you digest it, so logical in my mind anyways to try and avoid this.

Well "we" is presumptive, but humans in general are omnivorous eating both meat and plants. You also may not need to kill an animal to obtain it anymore, so meat is the correct term.

Plant matter goes largely uneaten and grazers along with everything up from them produces waste. All of this becomes part of the detritus food chain.

Generally results are only used to show possible risk factors. They make these drugs for the lowest common denominator anyways, I doubt it'd be a major difference. Even then the drug's literature should reference anything that could impact efficiency. You may want to look for better prices elsewhere if that will put your friend's mind at ease. This link: http://mashable.com/2013/05/15/personal-genetics-resources/ has several cheaper options. Not sure how on how much analysis they provide or for how much. Note: 23andMe is unavailable at present.

Pretty good topic about this already: http://www.scienceforums.net/topic/67272-when-water-can-form-an-h30-ion-why-cant-it-form-an-h4o2-ion/

I was just using the term as a catchall to reference man-made materials with properties not found in nature. OP was asking about a way to generate power from a magnet without any motion occurring in the system.

Indeterminate or not defined. X * 0 = 0 => 0/0 = X X can be anything under the sun and 0/0 has to equal all of those possibilities.

I wrote to Santa for a free energy generator years ago and it never arrived :'( I did get a lump of coal, not sure if he was making a point or not.

There are obvious genetic and epigenetic components of intelligence, but barring that it comes down to environment. It makes rational sense to find someone who shares your ethos but genetics shouldn't(and likely won't) be a factor. Just to put it out there, I feel IQ and similar test results can cause problems. Either superiority or inferiority complexes. Personally speaking I try and downplay all my own results and praise others for whatever they are good at. If nothing else this is the most intelligent thing you can do. You have to shine sometimes, but you don't need to be the only star in the sky.

Best guess would be to go with the conduction taking place in the heat sinks themselves. Found a number of potential papers just with a search for "conduction heat sinks". Discussion of the material differences(thermal conductivity), would easily give you a good amount of material. Especially with the more exotic types(diamond, composites). Corrosion resistance, pricing, should also make for good points. Might also be able to talk about the conduction taking place in heat exchangers for liquid refrigerant based cooling, not sure if that would be applicable or not though. I'm sure there are more scholarly papers you can also find depending on what resources your school gives you access to.

Fuller's Synergistics again :\ You can't make the claim "via mathematics" because that is not what mathematics as understood by most everyone else dictates. I'm so over it at this point. http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller

You are insulting people and proselytizing. Both of which are against the rules. It also casts your beliefs in a negative light. If you care about nothing else, I would hope you would at least care about that.

Are you talking about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_packaging or something else? My guess would be that searching for the individual elements will yield you better results.

Yeah, Forbes reads much better.
