How long should a laptop battery last before it needs to be plugged in all the time for it to work? (I know it depends on what you're doing, I have only been surfing the net.) My first laptop battery gave me an hour of playing, "Total Annihilation" (it advertised that it could last an hour and a half). My new laptop battery advertises it can give four hours and while I haven't tested it for that long, it sounds believable compared to the charge left after I have used it for an hour or two. Batteries gradually die. In the last months of my first...

Prove that a line cannot be contained in the interior of a triangle. By definition, a line is straight and infinitely long. Therefore, a line can only be contained in a triangle of size "greater than infinity". eg, if the length of the line is defined as the positive answer to 1/0, then triangle would have to be of size, say, the positive answer to 2/0. If we allow the line and triangle to be in three-dimensional space, then one could argue that...

Answer to:
What are 'Toxic Assets' and how did they get that way? You borrow some money from a bank. That is now your liability to the bank. Because you pay the bank interest (which will give the bank a profit), the bank classifies that loan as an asset. If you can't afford to repay the loan, the bank will make a loss. Therefore, the bank's asset is "toxic". That is the simple explanation. Let's add a bit more complication....

Are men really able to stay faithful or can they just not keep there hands out of the cookie jar? One faithful woman will know one faithful man. Lots and lots of women will know one unfaithful man. It just looks like the odds are against you. You may need to reassess what makes you attracted to certain men if you keep getting the wrong ones. Most good guys I know spend way too much time alone.

Why computers use binary? Because it is so damn easy to build them that way! They could have made them understand trinary, quadary, quinary or even decimal if they wanted, but binary was just so simple, useful, and robust. First there is the logic that drives computers - AND, OR, NOT. These operations are all about processing 1s and 0s. In the real world the ones and zeroes can stand for on and off ( or any...

Why are a lot of people charitable around Christmas but not the rest of the year? Well, despite our good intentions, charity is one of those things that is easy to forget, especially if we are worrying about our own bills. Sometimes Christmas is that extra boot up the bum to encourage us to remember those less fortunate. Plus, if we're already lashing out wads of cash on prezzies for our mates it's easy to justify splashing out on a few strangers as well.

At higher voltages, the resistance breaks down to an even lower value, so even if Ohm's Law says your skin resistance will save you from a high voltage, the high voltage may break down your skin's resistance,...

According to Christians, if you die without accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior, you go to Hell. Does this apply to young children in that belief system, or is their an age of accountability? There is no common belief amongst all churches. Different religions have different ideas, hence some baptize babies, others say people can only get baptized when they are ready. Regarding going to heaven or hell, I think the most important message is in the New Testament, Matthew 25: 31-46. It's a bit long to type here but it basically has God sending people to heaven or hell,...

(Yeah, yeah, I know, that's the theory not the practise!!! Plus there are other religions out there that aren't so forgiving ...) Corporations, on the other hand, answer only to the profit...

Answer to:
Isn't it that if God is all-powerful, he could have created the world in such a way that there wouldn't be suffering; if all-knowing, he would have known prior to creating us that we would suffer; and if all-good, he would never have wanted us to suffer? And then we'd all run around boasting about how clever and kind and nice and civilised and decent we are, when really it was just God constantly picking up the mess we left behind us. I can understand how that would come to severely piss him off. But no, I don't really know what God is thinking. His brain is much bigger than mine and he hasn't explained it to me yet.

Will there ever be time for the human race to move on without the existence of god (God)? Some scientists decided that they could live without God so they told him, "Look God. We've got all this modern technology, computers, spaceships, we can split atoms, work at the quantum level, see the Big Bang, we can even clone humans. We don't need you anymore." So God said, "Fine. But before I go, let's compare our work, as one professional to another....

Do men really like attention from their girlfriends? Example; compliments, text messages or calls during the day? Not when I'm working. It can be extremely inconvenient - eg. crawling through a stinking, dirty, hot roof, armed to my teeth with tools, squeezing through a narrow hole across some live wires, all the while trying to make sure I don't slip and fall through the ceiling and down fifteen feet onto the floor / pipes, valves, tanks, equipment laying on the floor. That can really annoy me.

For one to eat meat, they must kill or approve of the killing of animals. Killing (irrespective of how “humane” it could be) to a certain, degree requires an act of violence. Does this therefore mean that meat eaters have violent souls? If we didn't eat the animals we eat, then we would classify them as pests for ruining our valuable farm land. A rabbit can't bust your head open, but it can breed fast, destroy your crops, and starve your whole family to death. You must live a very soft life.

Someone asks you for a loan and you loan it. Days and weeks pass and you find yourself looking for the person so you can get paid back - Why is this the normal scenario? Well, they naturally spend their whole pay packet each week, then borrow money off of you. But next week, they do exact the same thing. But now they have less money because they owe you some, so they get behind again. So they have to borrow from someone else. Unless they change their lifestyle, they'll just get further into debt until they can no longer find more 'lenders'.

What is the difference between an electric motor and an electric generator? The motor turns electricity into movement. The generator turns movement into electricity. (Or, if you want to get technical, instead of movement say "kinetic energy" and instead of electricity say "electrical energy.)

Answer to:
What's a smart comeback for "Don't you need a license to be that ugly?"? Just make a license with their name and photo on it. The trick is to make sure lots of people are around and to act genuinely seriously pissed off and say: "Bloody! I filled in the paperwork, queued up at license centre for three hours, after having to park five blocks away, paid me fifteen bucks and then they sent me this one by mistake!"

Im 7 weeks pregnant with my First baby.. I have known the father for about 3 months now.. he really isnt supportive or caring.. He doesnt want to talk about it.

With encouragement from Moonwalker I've decided to try out vegetarianism a try. Does anyone have any good tips for me? I once went to a weekend health retreat that was run by doctors. While they weren't 100% against meat, they were against the way the animals were brought up so there was no meat, apart from fish on the first night. By the end of it I was feeling very weak so the first thing I did on leaving was get a huge steak. In the past I've seen vegetarians eat all sorts of crap to try and...

Can contradiction between omnipotence and free will be resolved? Does omniscience and omnipotence mean foreknowledge? Does foreknowledge always mean a fixed future? If these conclusions are yes, does this negate any religion that believes in such deity? Sure we've got free will but what do we do with it? As far as I can see, we are simple pain-avoiding machines (sure, beat yourself up if it hurts you that much and you want to attempt to prove me wrong but all you've really done is tell me your priorities!).

Answer to:
What has religion done for human beings? Science has made our lives richer and easier with technology and discovery, but what has religion done for humanity? How has religion improved humanity's way of life? What achievements has it made and what benefits? Religion has mercy. Science does not. Religions recognizes us as humans. Science only sees us as an electrochemical reaction. If you don't have religion then chances are you have the default religion of our times: Economics, with money as it's God. The only way a preacher can hurt me is by disobeying his own words. I hardly call that a 'fault' of the religion.

Answer to:
My fiance tells other women he is still single. He doesn't mind telling other guys he has a woman, though. He has a bad track record. He has two kids with two different women and has used around 36 women just for sex in the past. Is he untrustworthy? ???????????? I think that in this case you can trust that past performance is an indicator of future returns.

I had this dream last night that I broke up with my boyfriend then a few weeks later I was begging to have him back! Does anyone know what this means? In the end he did take me back! It means that you analyse your dreams too much and are in danger of letting their random fluctuations create strife in the real world. Don't believe me? Believe me, I have seen it happen. Want to pay attention to your dreams? Go for it. But be very careful to make sure they don't have a negative influence on your behaviour.

Is giving you life and keeping a roof over your head, and food on the table enough, as far as being a parent is concerned? Your mission, should you choose to accept, is to keep the children happy. You should also equip them so that they can be happy when you are not there. (This does not mean leaving a big inheritance! Without the necessary skills, any inheritance can be blown really quick, leaving the kids weak and miserable. It means teaching them how to survive in style). After all, there is a very good...

What do engineers have to do? They design and build stuff. "An engineer makes something for 25 cents that any idiot could build for ten bucks." Maths approximates reality. Physics approximates maths. Engineers approximate physics. Engineers find the easy way to solve problems. If the job is too hard then they either do something else or hand the problem to the physicist and get him to solve it.

Is it right that if you're not in the country (UK) and someone you don't know drives your car - it's for sale, that you should have to face court action for a speeding offence you didn't commit, or pick up a fine and points on your license? Of course it isn't right. But in case you haven't noticed, governments are starting to worry less about what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'. I may have a solution, though. If your car just happens to look the same as some politician's car, and for some reason your number plate looks like his, and if the driver cannot be identified, eg. has a paper bag...

Higher inductance = higher reactance at high frequencies, therefore the majority of the current...

Do you think that credit card companies should be allowed to target college students who have no income, no job, and no credit history? Funny question. Why are college students still dumb enough to let credit card companies scam them? You will find that history goes through cycles. Sometimes people are blamed for being stupid enough to borrow too much, sometimes banks are blamed for being stupid enough to lend too much. You don't want to be in the wrong part of that cycle. You need to learn a shitload more about...

I'm an Ex "born again" Christian. Anyone else want to come out the closet too? I must say that as a Christian, the closet has become much more roomy now that everyone else has left. Of course, God doesn't want me in the closet so every now and then I pop out for a breath of fresh air ... Are Christians really that bad where you guys live? Where is that?

I gave my dad the flu and feel horrible about it. I want to cry because now he's goingto have to take off work... I'm really upset that I got him sick. What should I do? You gotta be kidding. People either get the flu or they don't. Sure, it's contagious but even if you didn't give it to him, he probably would have picked it up from somewhere else a couple of weeks later anyway. It's not worth worrying about. When you get a little older you might notice the efforts some people go through to try to avoid catching colds, flu etc. It never...

I believe in god, but I despise religion. Is that normal or weird? That's fine. "The baddies have their gangs. Us goodies also need to have our gangs." It is good to have organized religion. People can 'build each other up' in times of hardship. But if all the religions you see seem untrustworthy then it is fine to leave them all. God would prefer us to go to Him direct anyway. Trouble is, most people don't. So then He...

Answer to:
Why does learning history suck? In my case it was because they just kept regurgitating the same small section of history every year! Plus, they often leave out the juicy bits. History is an extremely important subject, because when we learn of the mistakes of others, we learn how to avoid those mistakes. The trouble is getting the right history teacher.

Why do so many Americans drive four-wheel drive vehicles? I'm guessing that because speeding gets such a bad rap, the male ego has to manifest itself in a "big offroad vehicle" image instead of a "super fast sports car" image.

How can it be possible for a car to recapture and reuse its own kinetic energy? (i.e. the spinning of its wheels?) 1. Connect the wheels to a generator that does nothing most of the time but charges a battery when the brakes are applied (which will also help with braking.) 2. When braking, connect the wheels to a flywheel ( either high mass, low speed or low mass, high speed for best efficiency). Use the spinning flywheel to help the car speed up again. Won't collect all the kinetic energy but...

Why do people settle with jobs that they hate for the rest of their life? Why not take temp jobs until they do find something that they love doing? Fear of starving to death.

Usually I was underpaid. Often I had to settle for work less than my qualifications (as a tradie), sometimes there was no work and the money started running out. ...

Answer to:
This statement is from an answer “marriages that are forged by love tend to fall through more often than the ones that were arranged” would you agree with this? That's a statistical anomaly that ignores the happiness in the marriages because no one 'arranges divorces'. Having said that, grand parents do seem to be a good judge of character so there may be more good in arranged marriages than what us westerners would like to admit.

We got a problem here. In order to extract hydrogen from water we have to put energy into the system. How much energy? The same amount that we will gain from burning hydrogen again to power our car. Plus we need more energy to power our hydrogen extraction apparatus....

Who do you think is braver and which soldier do you prefer? Why? It's okay to choose both. 1. Until you realise that soldier 2 may have to travel at a consistent speed through flak filled air space and surface-to-air missiles where he has no method of defence other than to pray. But even then, 1 seems the go (but at least he can fight back.) While we're on the subject, what is bravery? Does it really exist? Is it a form of stupidity? Can you really say you're...

My ex-husband spent years in prison for sexually abusing my children. I know it's beneficial for me to forgive him, but how do I go about doing this? Everytime I think of him I want him to suffer as they did. Relax, take it easy, don't force it. You are human too, so don't get upset if you can't be super-human. It will only give you more stress and nothing in return. I hope someone gives you a more helpful answer.

Do you think that age of 23 is to late to start a new career? I started an apprenticeship when I was 28. While at school I met a couple of 40 year olds. What matters is what you want to do. You'll never earn enough money doing what you don't want to do because you simply won't put in as much effort as someone else who loves the same job. Aim for what you do want to do, regardless of age. 23 is still a young whipper-snapper.
