Is it possible it is the power supply/enclosure? If I take out the drive itself and use a hard drive enclosure, is there any chance it might work? Any other way I can coax it to spin up?

When wet laundry is hung on a clothesline on a cold winter day, it will freeze but eventually dry. However, the phase diagram for water says ice should not sublime (go from solid to vapor) at atmospheric pressure. Why is this?

I'm going to a benefit dinner and am going to wear my black suit, with my new dress shirt- it has very thin light and dark blue stripes- but was hoping to match it with my date's red dress. Can I wear a red and blue patterned tie with a striped shirt? Any other ideas on how to tie this all together?

What are the advantages/disadvantages to getting a film approved by the Chinese government? What guarantees must be made by the filmmaker to the censor? PLEASE CITE YOUR ANSWERS!!! And don't use Wikipedia.

If z1*z2=z3

Show: |z1|*|z2|=|z3|

And that the angle of z3 from the x-axis is the angle of z1 plus the angle of z2

Prove:

cos(a+b)=cos(a)cos(b) - sin(a)sin(b)

Using:

e^(ix)=cos(x) + isin(x)

My girlfriend told me last night that she's not sure how she feels about me. She doesn't know if she still loves me as a boyfriend. Is there anything I can do to make her feel like we should be together? I've already told her how I feel but she's just worried that she doesn't love me, but is also afraid to break up, if it turns out she does. Help! I'm stuck in an in-between world.

I was randomly placed in a University apartment complex with two football players. The one, we'll call Adam, for some reason hates me/my girlfriend. I heard this from a mutual friend of mine and the 4th apartmentmate. Last night my girlfriend went the bathroom (right next to my room) and when she returned to my room a glass beer bottle shattered on my bedroom door (the two football players and 4 of their friends have been drinking in the living room). I open the door and the nicer of the two football players is cleaning it up. I ask what's going on and he says it was an accident. That night they threw quarters, and later a dart at the door before leaving around midnight for the bars.

What should I do? Confront/talk to them? I don't think it will do any good, Adam is set in his ways, is used to doing what he wants (hes the quarterback). Report them? I'm afriad then they'll hate me more and cause more tension/violence. Move out? Then they win, and its a hassle for me.

I have a database set up on Yahoo! Groups and want to make available so that anyone can see it- without having to sign up for a Yahoo! ID- how can I do this?
