    What Are the Names of These Ions?

    I think it just asks for how those ions are named commonly: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ion "Common ions"

    Fortran (Fortran) Does order of accessing a matrix affect the performance?

    Thanks a lot for the question and the interesting answers. I oversaw the implications for memory handling. I apologize for my first answer, that was obviously totally wrong.

    Fortran (Fortran) Does order of accessing a matrix affect the performance?

    Could you explain, why this is so ? Is this a special of fortran ?

    Fortran (Fortran) Does order of accessing a matrix affect the performance?

    The performance should be the same for every case in every programming language.

    Angle between two pool balls in an elastic collision

    You really think the speeds after the collision are greater ? You think those balls accelerate for the rest of their life on that table ? http://www.real-world-physics-problems.com/physics-of-billiards.html

    Angle between two pool balls in an elastic collision

    As i pointed out before the correct speeds are: queue ball = 1.2 8-ball = 2.6 - 1.2 = 1.4

    Angle between two pool balls in an elastic collision

    no idea where you get that velocity from The speed of the 2nd ball is 2.6-1.2 = 1.4 ! as the masses are equal, the sum of all speeds before the collision must be = the sum of all speeds after the collision. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collision#Billiards

    Angle between two pool balls in an elastic collision

    The speed of the 8-ball cannot be greater than the speed of the queue ball. I have no idea about the math, but i would guess that the angels of the two balls to the original direction after collision, should be proportional to their speeds. A special case of hitting the 8-ball is that both...

    Why are there more societies where the people are oppressed than free?

    Societies undergo a process of Evolution like biological species. "Freedom of people", "Human Rights" thou beneficial for the individuals, might have been no advantage in survival for the societies themselves until today.

    Females vs Males: Lifespan & Why?

    Its interesting, why human females live almost twice as long, as they are able to give birth. Obviously the grandmothers are good for something. Probably their increased knowledge and higher experience helps the grand-children to survive.
