Science seems to be well on the way to petroleum free automobiles.What about aircraft? Could a 747 use an alternate fuel source?
Theoretically, a "bio-fuel" jet engine could be developed, but it's not likely to happen anytime soon. Jet engines use specially refined fuel, and bio-fuel isn't even a good environmental option anyway. Suffice it to say that electric 747s are definitely out of our reach for now.

If you could invent a word, what would it be and mean?
Two things come to mind, both of which are primarily intended to solve a problem I common have in writing.

The second thing would be "hopingly," as an alternative to the often-dangling,...

How can I make a random number generator to randomize numbers in a specified range?
Usually you would get the current system time in seconds or calculate how long the program had been running and use that value as your starting point, because it's relatively random. From there, you need to create an equation that will turn that number into a number between the specified range.
One good way is to divide this seed value by the size of the range (maximum-minimum) and add the...

what is meaning of atomic datatype with examples
I may be wrong, but I think atomic data types are the instrinsic data types, or the base data types. For example, in C the atomic data types would be int, char, float, double. They are atomic because they cannot be divided into a smaller data type (though, this is really an abstraction because and int is just 4 chars, as is a float. A double is 8 chars).

Light refraction is similar to a car driving half on the road and half on sand. Without a limited-slip, this would cause the car to turn towards the sandy side, because the left of the car is moving faster than the right. In the case of white light, each wavelength would refract at a different angle. This causes the spectrum to occur.

1. His existance is impossible to prove/disprove
2. Any "proof" that could be found would not suffice
If someone found proof of God's existance and tried to make a claim, the person offering would just call the evidence false. It would be the same the other way around.

Only if that which you are dismissing actually has enough evidence to require refutation. Some theories are very sound and have good amounts of evidence, but are simply refuted by others because they don't like change.

What is value of seventh root of 2. (Fully details solution)
There is a way to figure it out without a calculator (but you'll need a bit of time and a piece of paper):
First guess the seventh root of 2. It must be about 1.1 because 1.2^7 = 3.58... and 1^7 = 1. This will be x. Now we use the formula:
7th route of y = (6x + (y/x/x/x/x/x/x))/7
This will give you a number pretty close to the seventh route of y, which is 2 in this case. Now we...

It's infinity. I have a proof for it, but it's too long for me to bother typing in full unless anybody is severly interested. I'll give a quick summary though:

2/0^-1 = ?
2/0^-1 = 1/(2/0)
1/(2/0) = 0/2
0/2 = 0
So 2/0 must be infinity because the only number you could divide one by a get zero is infinity.

1/(5/0) = ?
Let's look at a solvable example:

Machine code rarely ever needs to be examined because it doen't vary from assembly code much, just...

What is flip flop?
A flip-flop is an electronic circuit. It has two output connections (usually Q and Q prime or similar). The flip-flop would start in one state (usually Q). This means that any circuit connected to Q will recieve power. If a clock signal is input, the Q no longer gives output, but Q prime does. In this way, the flip-flop toggles between two states, representing 1 and 0, each time the clock input...

Will Windows 7 be Microsoft's last operating system?
No. Hopefully it will be the last operating system Microsoft comes up with that makes me want to puke (since 98SE, everything went downhill). They did something great with MS-DOS, and all versions of windows up to 98 were the way you would want an OS to be. After that, MS started tyring to copy Mac operating systems, and that was their fatal flaw.

When you add two odd numbers why is the answer always even?
Because, every odd number is one away from being an even number. If you take two odd numbers, you have two ones. Two ones makes two. So now you have two even numbers and a two. For example:
7 + 13 = 20
Seven is the same as 6 (even) plus one (odd).
Thirteen is the same as 12 (even) plus one (odd).
Now we have:
6 + 12 + 1 + 1 or 6 + 12 + 2

Do you think violence in video games affects the level of violence in a child's behavior?
No. There's violence in games, but also on Tv, in movies, etc. It's not like you can completely prevent a kid from learning that violence exists. The only thing that's important is that the kid understands that violence is only fun if it's a game and not in real life.
As a more solid fact, the amount of teenage violence in all but the largest cities in the US has dropped...

Hello. i have a DAT extentioned file. i have to open it. text editors like notepad cant show perfectly. i think it is table data. How can I access to it?
DAT is a compression method I believe. Or at least, the extension for a specially compressed file. Every DAT file is compressed/encoded differently, so not all DAT decompressers/decoders will work with all DAT files. If you're not sure what was used to compress/encode it, I would suggest searching for programs that can convert DAT files and try new ones until one works.

WHY WE USE VOID MAIN() IN C++?
main just indicates the function form which the program's execution will start. It also outlines the main purpose of the program. void is used if a function is not going to return a value (although some compilers don't require it). main is usually either void and returns no value, or int and returns a value to the calling process that indicates how/why the program was terminated....

C++ Programming Question?
What do you typically use to get elements into a static interger array and to print the elements out?
a. switch statements
b. case logic structures
c. loops
d. None of the above
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
static int arr[10];
register int i;
for(i=0; i<=10; i++)
scanf("%d", &arr[i]);
for(i=0; i<=10; i++)
printf("n%d", arr[i]);
}
That uses two for loops. I think it's the most efficient way of doing it.

You'll need to know a lot about how internet communication works and you'll need to know code to put together programs that will let you utilize the IP in the fashion that you are thinking of.

How can I allocate arrays or structures bigger than 64K?

All of the main functions, such as malloc() and calloc() return a pointer of type void. The examples given in the book stored the returned address in a char pointer, then used it to store a string. When I try:
int main()
{
char *p
if((p=malloc(128))==NULL)
{

How do I access command-line arguments?
The traditional way would be this:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
argc is the number of arguments given to the program from the command line. The name of the program counts.
argv is an array of pointers that point to strings given as arguments at the command line. Each argument is separated by a space. For example:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char *argv[])

I'd say that the converter you got either has its own codec or uses Xvid/Divx. The documentation for it (if there is any) should explain any codecs used, but otherwise try downloading a Divx codec. If it doesn't work, try Xvid.
Those are the most common codecs. If they don't work, you may want a different video converter.

Your CPU is probably overheating. There is a fan at the back of every computer. Check to see if it spins properly when you turn the computer on. If it doesn't, you need a new PSU. If it does, you need to look inside your computer to see if the fan on the processor is spinning properly, it might also need replacing.
Also, computers have vents on them. If they are blocked, the computer...

That's why I support gay marriage even though I don't like gay people. It's a free country, so wether I like it or not, gay people have the right to be treated equally.

How do I type the ~ over an n when typing on the computer?
If you're using microsoft word you can use control, the symbol you want to use, and the letter you want to use. For example:
CTRL+~ (release) N = ñ
CTRL+' (release) E = é
CTRL+` (release) A = à
CTRL+: (release) O = ö
etc.
It's easier and faster than memorising keycodes.

Dos can only understand file/folder names that are 8 letters or less. If the name is more than 8 letters, it receives a ~ and then a number.
Ex.
Documents and Settings is too long so in DOS it would be:
Docume~1.
If there are two folders with the same first eight letters then they would be:
