  • Science Fair Help (Environmental Science)?

    Hey guys, i submitted my topic for the science fair (High School level), but my teacher rejected it. My topic was:

    "The Effect of Various Pollutants on the Melting Time of Ice"

    The idea was that i'd get a transparent container, and put an icecube in it, then time how long it takes to melt. Then i was going to put a new icecube in, and fill it with one specific automobile's exhaust (SUV, truck, hybrid, motocycle, etc) and see which had the least and greatest effect on melting time.

    My teacher rejected it because she said the heat of the exhaust would cause the ice to melt faster, not the trapped light (like global warming/green house effect.) Does anyone have any ideas on how to improve this experiment, or make it easier, etc.

    I was thinking of taking a "double boiler" approach where i'd have one transparent container inside of a transparent container. The inside container would have the icecube, and the outside would have the car exhaust. This way, the heat of the exhaust couldn't interfere with the ice, and would be a more realistic model of the Earth.

    Comments, suggestions, concerns?

    Thanks in advance,

    Brendan

  • Spanish Grammar Question?

    I am making a Spanish tshirt for a project. I am in Spanish III, so i know quite a bit of spanish, this is my 4th year of it (Spanish I is broken down into 2 years where I live.) Anyways, I want my shirt to say:

    "Want one?"

    In Spanish of course, however, i don't know how to say that. I think it's: "¿lo quieres?" but i'm not sure. A translator i found on the internet said it's "¿cuál quieres?" but i know how "reliable" translators are.

    All you "hispanohablantes" and Spanish-students:

    por favor, ¡me ayuda!

    ¡Gracias!

  • What's your favorite OS and why?

    Please be as specific as possible. For example:

    I like Windows 98 the best, because when i was in highschool, we used that OS and i would hack my friends computers everday...

    blah blah blah

    something like that....

    I'm just curious, because of the intense battles going on between windows and macintosh... My personal favorite is linux, just because it's different and i like the idea of "open source" and how programs should be free.

  • Computer Trouble! Will someone please help?

    My school computer (Dell Latitude D530 running windows XP) has been acting up really strange lately. It has been working fine for the past semester, but now it's being schweird. All last night, when i would press the power button, the caps-lock key next to the powerbutton would blink a couple times, and the power button would light up, but the screen would remain black. After a while all the lights will turn off again, and it will remain off. I kept trying to turn it on, over and over, but nothing was working. However, when i went to school the next morning, it turned on in my first block. It keeps having these random periods where it will not turn on, and i do not understand why. I am hesitant on turning it into the help desk, because i do not if i will get my computer back in time or if they have any loaner computers that i could use.

    Does anyone know what's up?

  • Help Stopping Guitar String Friction Noise?

    When i play my electric guitar, and slide my fingers from one chord to a new chord, it often makes a loud noise (some kind of noise from my fingers rubbing against the strings). At first i didn't mind it, but now its so loud and irritating, it's ruining the sound of some of the songs i play. Is there a way to stop/eliminate finger friction and the noise that goes with it?

    Thanks

  • Java Applet Trouble, Please Help Me Fix?

    I created a java class called "Map2D.java" and it has a simple coding to create a rough map of florida by using the "public void paint(Graphics screen)" method. I also created a small html document to run the applet, and so I could see it working. However, when i ran the applet in Internet Explorer, it said in little print on the bottom "Applet Map2D not inited" followed by "Loading Java Applet Failed..." The applet doesn't even show, it just is a big box, with a red 'x' in the top left corner. Does anyone know how to fix this problem, or what i'm doing wrong? Thank you for your help.
