I am minimalist maximum. I dont watch tv because i hate commercials. I like my coffee black just like my metal. I watch movies though, but only for about 3 solid days every 6 months. I don't condone fast food, but i do enjoy it. I love math and science, yes, I am a glutton for punishment...I have a few years left of the subjects.
Does the sound Hi mean something in Chinese/Mandarin?

8 AnswersEtiquette7 years agohow to tell if my flash drive is usb 2 or usb 3?
I'm not asking about the ports on my computer. I am asking about the thumb drive itself.
I recently got a 4gig thumb drive from an exhibition and the packaging doesn't say, and I cannot tell from markings on the stick. When I look at the 'get info' on mac I see only format, capacity information, etc. Thanks in advance.
3 AnswersAdd-ons8 years ago'Serial Date Number' conversion help?
I have a data set of time v intensity, I'm putting time in the x axis.
The time is in the serial date number form with decimal places. I NEED THE DECIMAL PLACES. That being said, I am trying to convert the SDN into seconds. Excel does this easily, however it truncates the decimal, so I am left with every 10 data points being totally equal.
As an example:
41466.5857615278
41466.5857631597
both convert to
7/11/2013 2:03:30 PM
I know that the SDN has a particular time where it is zero or 1. In my version of excel, 1 Jan 1900 at the zero hour has the value of '1'. This is how I can back calculate the seconds from the date format, but I need the rest of the decimal.
1 AnswerProgramming & Design8 years agoNeed word for specific type of translating?
Translating - as the word means simply to convert writing or speech into another language.
However, I need a more specific term. I need to differentiate between a direct, or literal, translation from a translation of ideas, or meaning.
The first word that came to mind was "transliteration," but that is different, that refers to developing words in one alphabet from a different alphabet based upon mnemonics.
If the word "translatinterpretation" were a word, then it might work, but I don't believe I am in a position to coin my own words.
Any help helps. Thanks

1 AnswerSoftware9 years agoHow many molecules of oxaloacetate are in a mitochondria with radius of 10^-6 m?
concentration of oxaloacetate is (1.1 * 10^-8)
I know the answer, but how the heck do I get this.
I know that
Vsphere = 4/3 * pi * r^3
I assume one must use 6.022*10^23
But is there some density factor that I must look up or derive on my own?

3 AnswersCell Phones & Plans10 years agoIn BlueJ beginning programming, I have an class I made as a parameter for a method?
I made two classes for my project.
ClassA uses ClassB to make a bunch of objects.
So I have private fields in ClassA that are of data type ClassB.
One method I have in ClassA has the parameter of ClassB.
So What do I type into the prompt box? I assume I type in the object name.
Here's the example (ClubPatron is the ClassB):
public void printPatronDetails(ClubPatron patronsName)
{
if(patron1 == patronsName)
{
System.out.println("----------------------------");
patron1.printPatronDescription();
if(patron1.duesPaid() == false)
{
System.out.println("PROMOTIONAL");
}
System.out.println("----------------------------");
}
This does not work directly... If I type in patron1, no quotes, I get this error message that says
Error: cannot find symbol - variable patron1
The crazy thing is that I have a method just below this one that uses this very method in my example, and it works fine in the form of:
{
printPatronDetails(patron1);
}
I'm clueless.
2 AnswersProgramming & Design10 years agowhat can we say about infinity/e^infinity?
Can we say that it is zero since the bottom, being exponential, gets bigger faster?
If you calculate this in mathematics software, they don't like the expression, but intuitively, doesn't this get to zero?
2 AnswersMathematics10 years agoDo I need just SP3 or 'SP1 and SP2 and SP3' for clean xp install?
Some background. My vaio laptop came with XP. After a year or so, I put Vista on it. Now I have a different laptop but I still want to use myold vaio for other things...i want to put XP back on it.
So I want to download the updates for XP...Which ones do I need? Can I just down load SP3 to get the majority of it then just get the rest from online? Or is there a lump download that I can get it in one fell swoop?
Thanks
6 AnswersSoftware10 years agowhat happens when you put a solution of sodium acetate into aluminum container?
Original equation:
NaOH + CH3CO2 --> H2O + NaOCOCH3
Do the acetate ions prefer the Al(3+) or the Na(1+)
I put the solution into an aluminum container to boil the water out, but, you might have guessed what happened...the solution dissolved the aluminum container, rather vigerously. What might have I made?
Aluminum acetate comes in 3 different varieties. The solution after dissolving was basic. What might have happened?

3 AnswersCell Phones & Plans10 years agoDo i add or subtract the capacitor in Kirchoff's Loop Rule?
I know the capacitor must be in the form (Q/C) But do I add it in or subtract it depending on which way the Current is going.
Like for the loop and current traveling in the same direction, you would have
0 = V - I*R +or- Q/C
For a simple loop having only an emf source, a resistor, and a capacitor.
I think it might depend on if the capacitor is charging or discharging, but I haven't a clue really.
2 AnswersEngineering1 decade agoWhy can i integrate the surface area of a sphere to get the volume, but?
but I cannot integrate the surface area of a cube to get the volume of a cube?
example
SA(r) = 4pi*r^2
V(r) = (4pi*r^3)/3
but
SA(x) = 6x^2
so if I integrate this with respect to x I get this:
V(x) = 2x^3
This is simply incorrect, because we all know the volume of a cube is x^3, not 2x^3.
Why doesn't this work?
