    Why do some people criticize Ayn Rand's philosophy and literature?

    I think most humans don't like her because she obviously doesn't care about anybody but herself. If you want to go through your life that way, be my guest, but it won't turn out good for you in the end. You'll be miserable. And that's what Ayn Rand advocates.

    Moment of Inertia on Semi-Hollow Cylinder

    Given: I=\frac{\left(r^4_2-r^4_1 \right )m}{2 (r^2_1-r^2_2)} Then: I=\frac{1}{2}m(r^2_1+r^2_2) Great! Thank you so much! I actually forgot how those exponents would go into each other, that was my issue. Thanks for leading me toward the right answer there!

    The sociology behind inhumane treatment towards animals

    I know a lot of the people do it because it feels like their "only" option. They are either immigrant workers who would be without a job if they didn't do what the corporation told them to do. Which would leave their family without a source of income. Also sometimes they get legal workers stuck...

    Do Animals Understand Themselves and Others?

    I know that my (now dead) dog would try to lie and trick me. (He was a good dog though). He'd always look ashamed when he was doing it.

    A block on incline and forces acting upon it

    One thing that you are going to need to remember is that (sin x)/(cos x)=tan x I hope nobody thinks that this gives anything away, it's just that I think people forget to simplify a lot and that'd mess him up here in this problem.

    How Do You Calculate the Initial Height of a Block on a Frictionless Ramp?

    There must be some more information in this problem, unless if your teacher just wants you to express your answer in variables. Perhaps a velocity would help us out?

    Are children born honest or do they learn to be dishonest?

    1) Yes I have. Whenever I'm around kids they seem to want to tell the truth, yet a know a lot of older people who lie because "it's fun" (why...?). 2) Dr. Lots-o'watts: that was hilarious : P

    Just when you go to Facebook, don't type just facebook.com, type https://www.facebook.com That'll make it so you automatically use their encrypted log in. There are lots of addons for browsers out there that do this automatically for you for most sites that allow it.

    Is Android Dying? | PF Discussion

    I don't think Android will die for at least five years or so even though Google is releasing it's ChromeOS. They see right now that they need to get a large amount of the mobile market share just as they have with their market share when it comes to search. I think eventually ChromeOS will...
