Thanks, turns out a switch will work just fine for my needs. I appreciate the help.

I'm about to purchase a laptop and will be looking to set up a home network in order to use it with the internet I have set up with my desktop. I'm looking to do this via Netgear Powerline Ethernet. I'm completely new to this type of thing, so I'm hoping someone knowledgeable here could see if...

It's interesting that after stumbling upon this thread Scientific American releases http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=is-time-an-illusion" called Is Time An Illusion? Thought it might be worth sharing here.

It is my understanding that ideas like this are what fuels theories of multiple universes. For instance, a universe that is infinite, or at least sufficiently large in size, will have exact copies of you and I living in drastically different places. Scientific American released a nice...

Conveniently, one doesn't even have to use the point slope formula to solve this problem. By simply knowing that parallel lines have the same slope and perpendicular lines have a negative reciprocal slope and using the slope-intercept equation will yield you the proper result. For instance...

Thanks for the help :)

Straight up vertically I believe would be safe to assume.

I'm not sure. That image and the problem statement is all I've been given.

Homework Statement A 100-foot vertical tower is to be erected on the side of a hill that makes a 6^{\circ} angle with the horizontal. Find the length of each of the two guy wires that will be anchored 65 feet uphill and downhill from the base of the tower. Homework Equations Law of Cosines...

I do believe, if I understand your question correctly, that the easiest method to solve this problem is by the use of this formula: A = P \left(1 + \frac{r}{n}\right) ^{rt} \large Where: P is the inital amount/investment r is the interest rate as a decimal n is the number of times the...

The definition of music according to Dictionary.com: But the idea of music, like art or poetry, is a very subjective idea. What someone considers music may be drastically different than someone else's opinion on the matter. Many cultures encourage the interpretation of natural events, like...

A good introductory text to the subject would be http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Quantum-Enigma/Bruce-Rosenblum/e/9780195342505/?itm=1&USRI=quantum+enigma" by Bruce Rosenblum and Fred Kuttner. The book discusses the basics of physics needed to gain a decent understanding of quantum mechanics...

I was thinking the same thing.

Questions like these are grounded in uncertainty--not that they shouldn't be asked, they are vital questions that are indeed necessary to ask. The questions of when time began, when the universe began, etc. are questions that we simply don't know the answer to. Convention suggests that the...

Buoyancy is the force exterted upward to keep a given object afloat. In the case of air, buoyancy is proportional to altitude. As an object rises in the air its buoyancy decreases as the density of the surrounding air decreases and vice-versa as the object falls. Hope I was able to explain...
