    Graduate Can Hydrogen Fusion and Helium Fission Provide an Endless Energy Source?

    This may seem like a crazy or stupid question. Maybe both. What if there was a way to generate fusion using an element like Hydrogen, and then, miraculously, discover a way to generate fission out of the end result (in this case Hellium)? Could the constant fusion-fission between Hydrogen...

    Call Centers in Panama: Tech & International Calls

    I am living in Panama (the country), and there are many call centers here. I worked in one, and I couldn't stand the stress, so I had to quit. I noticed that in call centers around here all calls come from the US. What kind of technology do they use for that? Are the call centers...

    Setting Up a Webhost Provider - Requirements & Advice

    I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but... What kind of equipment do you need to set up a webpage provider (is that what they are called?) like Geocities and Tripod, besides lots of hard drives and copies of Apaches? Do I need my own domain a few computers or more than that?

    Hard Drive Problem: Troubleshooting a Quamtun Bigfoot 6.5 Gb

    Hard Drive Problem: Troubleshooting a Quamtun Bigfoot 6.5 Gb

    I am sure it is dead too, but I'll try removing a few devices just to see what happens. This hard drive is huge and old. Maybe it consumes a lot of power. But I doubt it. What a shame because there's a lot in that hard drive. Bummer

    Hard Drive Problem: Troubleshooting a Quamtun Bigfoot 6.5 Gb

    Actually, I am sure it is in Cable Select. I have failed to enabled the driver in CMOS. There's a lot in that hard drive, but I am afraid it is gone. :(

    Hard Drive Problem: Troubleshooting a Quamtun Bigfoot 6.5 Gb

    I found an old hard drive in a suitcase. It belonged to my old Compaq computer. It is seven years old. Quamtun Bigfoot 6.5 Gb. It was the main hard drive in that computer. I tried to install it in my new Compaa, which is also a Pressario, but only a year old. It is in the second ide drive as...

    Graduate Quantum entanglement and wireless electricity

    I read about quantum entanglement in an article about teleportation I read on the web. If two particles can be connected despite an enormous distance, in such a way that the properties of one can be transferred to another, even though no wire or string is linking them, can you use this...
