question

How do you feel about the Nation of Islam? What do you have to say to Louis Farrakhan about his religious beliefs? ETA: THese are the official platform of beliefs as laid out by Elijah Muhammed in 1965: Source. Any comment Kathy?

Well, it's fairly obvious that this topic was a tad controversial after TAM4. The question is: why is this question even being asked? The topic has been done to death previously (skepticism can only test testable claims, and God's existance is not testable so...), and atheism, while practiced...

While I'm in question asking mood, here's another one, just out of curiosity. There was an advert on the radio talking about the current 6-Nations rugby and it mentioned the speed at which a rugby ball could be kicked. I've wondered about this before. When a ball is accelerated by impact (golf...

Hi, this is my first ever post on these boards. I cannot seem to post in the 'introduce yourself' thread for some reason, so very briefly about me and then onto my question. I am 30 years old male 2nd year psychology undergraduate living in the south of England in the UK. I was formerly an...

Okay, so sitting here doing some basic trigonometry, my questioning nature has stopped me from doing what I should be doing once again... How does the calculator find tangens, sinus and cosinus for a given angle? I mean, once it knows one angle it will automatically know the two others, but how...

Hi, got an assignment to do but stuck on a couple of questions. They only have to be a few sentences, it's only a very basic course. 1) Outline briefly how hydrogen can move from the interstellar medium into stars and back into the interstellar medium. Now I know this is talking about the...

How would a fundamentalist christian trie to convert a bisexual like me?

See Nothing to be Thankful For (a .pdf document): which seems to show that tax cuts have little or no effect on growth in the US economy from 1948 to 2003 (see figure 7 in the link). So is it true, do tax cuts have no effect on growth? I'm genuinely curious what the economics experts think...

I'll try and keep this as clinical as possible, but this is a serious question. Like most people I will occasionally get cold sores. My wife really hates this because she enjoys the oral aspect of lovemaking & doesn't want me performing such an act with a cold sore. Now my question: is there...

Which is better, An ATI 9600XT or a GEFORCE 6600? The graphics card is now the tie-breaker in deciding which of two identically priced computers to get. Oh yes, and another one; Will a 350W power supply be enough for this lot? CPU: AMD SEMPRON 64BIT 3000 + 1600MHz Memory: 1024 MB...

I'm using Windows XP and am wondering if there is a way using Outlook Express (e-mail) to do the following ... By clicking on a piece of text in the bulk of the e-mail, a file opens. It could be a photo, mp3 or something else I send along. This would not be like an attachement where one sees...

Hi guys! This is great - since registering here, I can ask all the dumb questions that I was always to embarassed to ask while in school. I appreciate all your help and answers.. thanks! :) This question concerns the methods of energy transfer - convection, conduction and radiation. Am I...

I know the Dell line of systems is a good, but I've heard that the parts they use are specific to Dell. For example, they may have a name brand MB from say ASUS, but it is slightly different. This leads me to believe that it is harder to upgrade Dell computers with off the shelf components...

My fifth grade teacher told the class of a science experiment done on some kind of worm. Meal worms, I think. (It's been a while since 5th grade.) It involved the first generation being fed ground up hamburger, then put in some sort of terrarium where part of the ground was electrified...
