If condensation works the way I think it does, by lowering the temperature outside a class to a point where nearby WATER vapor forms droplets on the outside of the glass, why is the condensation from "sticky" drinks such as juice and soda also sticky? If the container is open, then molecules of sugar, corn syrup, etc. are evaporating along with the water molecules. So the air outside the glass contains sticky molecules as well as water molecules, all of which will condense and stick to the glass. Try it with a SEALED glass (or can) and see if the condensate is still sticky.

You should listen because the other side might be right, or there may be some subtle fine-tuning to be done. For what it's worth, "advocate" means lawyer

You might visit some nursing homes and hospitals, and witness other people's suffering and loss, and this will help put it in perspective as a part of the human condition. Part of the reason this is so traumatic is the American denial of death. Then something we pretend doesn't happen, happens, and we get all confused.

Do you think 9-11 was an inside job? The FEMA report said that they had no clue whay Building 7 collapsed. (Of course they didn't phrase it that way.) So, I am 100% certain that the FEMA report doesn't give us the truth about why Building 7 collapsed, from that alone. :)

Answer to:
Does the total death count for the September 11, 2001 attacks include the 19 hijackers? 19 is a very small number compared to the total (especially if you include cleanup workers, neighbors affected by the toxic dust & stuff, and people who had a heart attack while watching TV or lost the will to live because of the sadness, etc.) So it would get lost in the plus-or-minus.

In Christian theology, the people who were created sinless were: Adam, Eve, Mary, Jesus (and possibly Mary's mother).

Oxygen and atmospheric pressure are usually low at high altitudes.These conditions have an adverse effect on people living in lower places.Why is this so? Because one breath's worth of air contains less oxygen, so you get less oxygen with each breath. Each of our cells needs oxygen all the time to live. In the lungs, oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream, attaches to hemoglobin molecules (turning them from blue to red) and is carried to all the cells in the body.

Karl Marx said: "Own the means of production." John D. Rockefeller said: "Own nothing, control everything." Let's put them together: "Control, but do not own, the means of production." Good idea? He controlled things without owning them, through TRUSTS. The property is held in the name of the trust, therefore it is not your asset and if you are sued, it cannot be taken away from you. "Futures" are another way of controlling commodities without owning them. If you think about it, you can think of other ways.

Answer to:
Why is it that there's no reversal of phase when a sound wave is reflected from a rarer medium? Well, you could look at the reverse event (time-reversal). Two waves, same phase, come together on opposite sides, they combine and produce one wave, which goes away on the denser side. Now add a wave that is equal and opposite to the wave that comes in from the denser side (phase-reversed). That cancels the incoming wave, and gives us an extra outgoing wave, phase-reversed, going out on...

Guys how long would you wait for someone to make a decision if they want to be with you for the rest of their lives or be with someone else? What she's saying is: "I don't feel attraction for you, but I don't know how to tell you in a way that won't hurt your fragile wussy-boy feelings, so I'll just string you along." She's already made her decision.

Answer to:
What is the "c" code that can find, whether the given no is odd or even?. U should not use mod operator and any conditional statements? Actually a more realistic prohibition would be: do not use any C-specific operators. That way your program will be more portable into other languages. = = = = Solution 1: int x=<somenumber>; int halfX=x/2; int truncX=halfX*2; int isEven=(x==truncX); return isEven; = = = = Solution 2: int x=<somenumber>; int isEven[maxint-minint+1] int k=0; // note that minint is...

Answer to:
I have a general question. If you know the value of (n-1)! (mod n), then how can you use this value to find out whether n is prime or composite? If n is prime, then we want to know whether there is any combination of numbers less than n which will multiply out to be equal to a multiple of n. (Can't multiply out to be equal to n, because that would make n composite, but a multiple of n? Why not?)

Answer to:
I have a general question. If you know the value of (n-1)! (mod n), then how can you use this value to find out whether n is prime or composite? If n is composite, then all the factors of n will show up in the list of factors of (n-1)! (because, of course, all the factors of n are less than n). So (n-1)! = (all the factors of n) * other stuff = n * other stuff = 0 (mod n) If n is prime, is there some guarantee that (n-1)! mod n will NOT be 0? Dunno.

Answer to:
I get really painful migraine and sinus headaches, what home remedies will alleviate the pain? It could be a tension headache, caused by the neck muscles pulling on the back of the head. If so, you can stretch those muscles to relax them. Bend your head forward, put hands behind head, gently push to bend your head farther forward and down. Keep doing this even though it's boring and uncomfortable.

Answer to:
If I ask a question about Politics / Religion I'm likely to get smacked down by someone ..how about the weather? Our weather has been gorgeous the last several days..how is your weather today? Is that subject safe?Or is someone out there offended? If you're in Scotland, and you complain about the fog, I think you'll offend somebody. Feymnan said that in Greece, everybody complains about the heat, although it's a few degrees cooler there than in Pasadena, where nobody complains. Whoever complains just makes it that much harder for everybody else. Is it your goal to go through life without offending anybody? When...

Answer to:
What is a Magnetic Dipole moment? First, let's talk about a unipole, or monopole. And let's talk about the electric force instead of the magnetic force (they follow the same rules, but as far as we know, there are no magnetic monopoles.) Suppose I have an electrically charged particle. Suppose you have another charged particle as a "test charge." My particle is surrounded by a field, which exerts a...

Answer to:
What is magnetism? The most fundamentally true answer is: The magnetic force is none other than the electric force, only viewed relativistically from a different "frame of reference." In other words, if you're looking at a specific magnetic field, then there exists some frame in which that field is a 100% pure electric field. A "frame of reference," as that phrase is used in...

Answer to:
A square with the measurement of (3x +2) for all four sides and the perimeter of the square is 64. How is the geometry question figured? I assume you mean (3x+2) for EACH of the four sides, and I assume the question is to determine x. Let's plug our data into the formula for perimeter: LENGTH + LENGTH + LENGTH + LENGTH = PERIMETER or LENGTH * 4 = PERIMETER (3x+2) + (3x+2) + (3x+2) + (3x+2) = 64 or (3x+2) *4 = 64 From here it's just algebra: (3x+2) = 64/4 = 16 3x = 16-2 = 14 x = 14/3
