Here's another question....

New Hampshire.... Is it really a legitimate state or should we give up the errosion prevention measures and let it go where nature intends? The sea turtles need a home too ya know.

sure they do. they have pleanty of coast line. hell they have their own resort down here in FL

 

So here I am on a Friday night, leaning back in my chair, feet up on the desk, and surfing around, all is good!

All of a sudden, my big feet push some buttons on the keyboard, and now all the typing on the screen is in "jumbo mode"

You guys helped me fix this before, but I forgot.
What the heck do I press again to get the letters back to normal size?

EVERYTHING IS HUGE!!!

Thanks
Habibi

 

Ahh, you just need to buy a bigger monitor.
Everything looks normal then.

 

Sorry about that, couldn't resist.

Is this everything you type like in a word document or just on the net?
If it's just the net, go up to the toolbar at the top of the screen and left click on view.
Scroll down to Text Size and leave the pointer over that.
You should then see another box to the right which will have the option to make the screen text go from Smallest to Largest.
Left click on the one you want. Personally, mine is set to Smaller.

Hope this helps.

 

Adam, you saved the day, thanks!
Looks like I put the text size on "largest", and now put it back to "medium" and all is fine.

How the heck did I do that with my feet?
They were hovering around the "Tab" and "caps lock" buttons.

Habibi

 

Hmmmm, you shouldn't be able to do it like that.
All I can think of is that you must have pretty stinky feet and shorted it out with the fumes.

 

Habibi, if you have a scrolling mouse, you can hold down the `ctrl` button on the keyboard and scroll up on the mouse to make the text size bigger and scroll down to make the text smaller.
My understanding of fire is that it is a basic chemical reaction. When certain elements are combined and heated (remember that metal elements expand when heated), it will cause the fuel element to essentially break down at some point. When the elements expand, it is because of the electrons travelling at a higher rate of speed (or being `excited`), and this causes friction at the sub-atomic level, which will eventually break down the covalent bonds in the atomic structure of the `fuel` element. Oxygen is used primarily as a catalyst for the chemical reaction, because when the sub-atomic particles are released, they have to bond with something else, and Oxygen can then bond with the new simple elements that have just been released from their chemical bonds, and the Carbon (by-product of the reaction referred to as `fire`) will bond with the available Oxygen atoms to form Carbon Monoxide, unless it bonds with two Oxygen atoms at the same time (see why they're `excited`:P) to form Carbon Dioxide. When the atomic bonds break down in the `fuel` element, the energy is released as heat, and the light is just the by-product of watching the atomic bonds break down in the fuel element (being transformed from to simple elements) and react (bond) with Oxygen. The matter is actually being transformed into other forms of matter (because it can't be created nor destroyed, just transformed), going from solid or liquid to primarily gas, and the waste products, which are impurities that aren't flammable (don't react to the same chemical exposures) turn to ash. Kind of like a little miniature nuclear fission, only the atoms are left intact, not broken down at the nuclear levels, so the elements are the same elements, just leaving the bonds they are in and making new bonds, instead of seperating the nucleus of the atom from the sub-particles that surround it, so it's not as big of an explosion as an atomic bomb. We just get to witness matter changing form by swapping protons and electrons with other, more-stable atoms, and the heat and energy given off by the friction of the sub-particles as they leave their electron cloud (or the `gravitational pull` of their atom's nucleus) are due to the fact that the atoms are charged with energy, and this energy is enough to break the bond between the sub-atomic particles and the nucleus in the `fuel` element, but it is not enough energy to break the bond between the sub-atomic particles and Oxygen, and since energy is neither created nor destroyed, it releases itself from the new atom, and when this happens on a grand scale, we see the energy release as fire, and what's left of the chemical composition that made up the `fuel` element (the part that is left when half of it bonds with Oxygen) is ash.

 

pickupman, thanks for the 'words of wisdom'.

i understand from what you said that carbon is a result of fire, not a key ingredient.

do you know what qualities or properties something needs to have to qualify as a fuel?


you know stuff.


thanks for the good info.

 

"Americans work hard, but do they work smart?

Several European countries produce more per hour per worker than the U.S.

That helps Europeans afford to work fewer hours, according to an April 2003 Conference Board report that ranks a number of nations ahead of the U.S in GDP per capita per hour.

The ILO report out this week says three nations - Norway, France and Belgium - are ahead in output per hour.

So, in some cases, less may indeed be more."

Why do a job in 10 hours if you can do it in 20.

 

Any mechanic can answer that: so you can BILL for 20!

 

The thing to keep in mind is that the "camera", therefore your point of view, is also moving at warp speed, and therefore the relative speed between you and Enterprise is only a couple of hundred KPH. Relativity takes care of the rest and light does not need to exceed its own speed. That's not the stupid Star Trek effect. The stupid Star Trek effect is that when Enterprise passes you, you hear a whoosh! How exactly do you hear anything in the vacuum of space???

 

I wonder what the numbers would look like if prostitution wasn't illegal in the States?

 

I heard there is a new burger in the States called the "butter burger"
What is it, and why is it so special?

I have been wondering this for months now...

What is a 6# pulley?
What is the difference between the 6# pulley and 3# pulley?
What pulley comes stock on the L?
