I have an MDF board (that corky stuff), 80x30" and 6/10" thick. I want to make it a desk, so obviously I'm going to buy some legs from Ikea. The leg is a regular tube, a socket and 5 screws. Is there a way to calculate the safe distance to leave between the legs? I mean I could just...

Thank you very much yes, that exactly what it is. There is no differential gearbox. I misunderstood the whole device and its principle of operation. :D Thanks again.

This device was in a documentary on Discovery last year. At least that I can recall. Does it have a name?

What I'm asking is not strike and dissipate, I'm asking really capturing and storing the energy for later use. I mean are we talking more than cubic kilometers? I know a thunderbolt is just regular, really high power DC but if 220V@10,000W can be bottled in a less-than-half-a m³ UPS, why is...

Hello, people. I have two questions but first please bear in mind that I have an absolute 0 of theoretical knowledge. I just read what's on the Internet and I'm curious. So here are the questions: 1. Temperature makes atoms vibrate. However I've found out that you can't figure a precise...

Is this true? We're in computing but we have a classmate that says that when a star collapses, all the material in it fuses together under such power, that it creates one giant super stable atom, and the actual black hole isn't a hole at all. What do you think?

Thanks, I can't believe I forgot the laws of movement. But additionally, I have a few other wonders: 1. We fly a rocket, and at it's end we mount a huge rubber bag or whatever to get back all the burnt gas and carry it back, would this work practically or will it follow the same laws? And...

Hello friends. I simply couldn't find an easier way to explain what I'm looking for, so here's a drawing. And my questions are: 1. Does something similar even exists, and how is it called? 2. With the proper masses/ratios/calculations/whatever & control system, is this device able to...

The hard way would be meditation, this will enhance your awareness and capability to remember, among other things. The easy way is to simply give things the proper importance. There's also the reminder function of your cellphone.

Hi David. I got the same problem while checking my e-mail, Y!'s mail interface (both the old & the new one) has some sort of limited IM applet that'll pop you out when you check your mail. If that's not the case, the safest way is to change your password.
