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?

No, not again. It was never constitutional in the first place so you should actually have said, "is unconsitutional still".

Me either. It says I don't have permission to access that page. :(

This rag did the same thing as yelling fire in a crowded theatre. When are they going to hold some of these media airheads accountable for the consequences others pay for their actions.

God is an invention of man to explain the things he doesn't understand. He invented the sun god to explain the sun coming up before he learned that it comes up because we go round it. He invented the fire god to explain fire before he understood that it was just the result of heat, fuel and...

Why? If I don't believe in God why would I bother to spend my time proving he doesn't exist. If you claim he does exist then the burden is yours to prove it. You couldn't just claim that apples are blue and pass on to those that don't believe it to prove it false, it would be your burden to...

Here's a good article on the subject of glass.

I have another little peeve with McDs. Recently I ordered a Quarter Pounder and a drink. The girl fixs my drink and then puts a Quarter Pounder w/cheese on the tray. I told her I just want a plain Quarter Pounder and she tells me they don't have those anymore. I asked, "What if I don't want...

Close but no cigar Arbitrarily close to x does not equal x. If it would equal x exactly then x would not be irrational since irrational is, by definition, a number that does not terminate or become periodic.

Even as an atheist myself I would accept debate on ID in philosophy class. I am opposed to it being taught as science. I think part of the misunderstanding is that many assume that evolution includes abiogenesis as an origin of life even though most courses on evolution do not teach that. I...

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...
