Yeah, I know it's an old thread but it popped up when I was googling the viscosity of mercury and thought I would post a useful answer regarding the OP for others that end up here the same way I did. Anyhow, high cohesion is the reason mercury doesn't wet the glass. Mercury molecules are...

You might take a look at the source code available from GIMPS. They've been searching for the world's largest primes for years now and their code has been tweaked for efficiency.

Yes, it's legal Not only were they given a loophole to continue annoying you even if you're on the do not call list but they can do so in a manner that prevents you from being able to block them. Even if you have a service like the "Privacy Selector Service" some of them have computer programs...

I think he nominated a swing vote to replace a swing vote. Is there a reason he should have nominated a more conservative or more liberal vote to replace the retiring swing vote?

But... I think carpet comes on a 12 foot roll. If this is true I cannot imagine why they would not charge for a full cut across since the remaining edge piece would be a waste. As for the 29 feet they may charge by the even yard only of which the next increment is 30 feet or 10 yards. I have...

Math is like a sport or a video game, it takes lots of practice. Some people will catch on quickly because they have a knack for it. Others will have to work harder. You friend may learn a new concept by working only a few related problems while you may need to work dozens to learn the same...
