Justin Bieber fandom. And country music. I cannot understand why so many people like country music :P One concept that did boggle my mind when I first came across it was communication theory used to broadcast signals for television and radio. I could not fathom firstly, how people came up...

Did you really take that picture of Saturn with your phone and binoculars?? This really is fantastic. Going to give this a try soon!

I was actually discussing this with some undergrads the other day. Back when I was in varsity, I didn't actually study every day per se. If there was a test, then I'd study as was fit. This usually ended up meaning studying till 3am with my friends the day before a big test. One rule was that...

Hey guys :) One thing that really gets me whilst reading sites like Wikipedia is the differences in spelling (US English vs. British English) that are o various Wikipedia sites. One of the main differences is the use of -ize in US English compared to -ise in British English. South African...

As you said - SMALL BAND. This, as WarPhalange said, is not a case for them - it's for the bigger artists like Madonna or Coldplay or the like. The smaller bands do benefit from Sharing networks but if you find a song by Madonna on Limewire or the like, you'll download it, listen to it and...

Viacom have said this but this doesn't mean that they aren't allowed to proceed with legal action against viewers. It's the same concept as buying a pirate DVD from a flea market - if you view the DVD, you are breaking the law and you can be punished for this. This case also sets the precendence...

Very true - but then again, as the cliche goes, the scientists and engineers aren't as good with public speaking as the humanities um, people are! It is a generalisation (I particularly enjoy public speaking even though I'm an engineer) but thinking back to the people that graduated in my year...

I'm not really versed in legal issues but basically, Viacom now is insisting on viewing what I've watched without my permission to do so or in other words, they are invading my privacy. I know that personally, what I have done won't have any bearing on the case at hand, but basically, now Viacom...

Back to the show - did they like cancel it after a couple episodes? I know they showed it on TV in my country (South Africa) and then *poof* .. it disappeared.

Nobody here actually has addressed how these actually work! I'm guessing it works similar to a bar heater at home - electrical energy to heat energy via those filament type things inside the lighter. Quite simple really!

It's purely car dependent and works in the same way as your radio does. I wired my radio so that it works even without a key whereas most only work when the key is in the ACC position. My lighter though (I have a Fiat) doesn't work if the car is off. I'm guessing you can just refer to the...

Hey...Interesting topic ... I did some googling and came up with this from the Mythbusters forum. http://community.discovery.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/9551919888/m/2321969559 Check out the article though ... I guess that closes the topic here :/

Thanks for clearning that up. Well, yes, the .NET version is a good option but the syntax etc. is different ie. takes time to learn, which I don't have :/ So yeah, old school Visual Basic will have to do .. Anyway, the whole dilemna came up with exactly what -Job- said ... VB.net is FREE yet...

Hi ... I learned to program in VB6 (the last version before .NET came out) and am going to use VB to programme a few apps for a project of mine. Now, after doing some research, Microsoft have discontinued producing VB and I've heard that Microsoft are going to stop support for VB in the near...
