I'm really into a few series. My favorite show right now is Breaking Bad. Highly recommend it. The first few seasons of Dexter were amazing but the show has gone downhill. Also recently on BBC there has been the best version of Sherlock Holmes I have ever seen. Recommend as well Shameless and...

These could be shows that you liked to watch in about the past 55+ years. However, upon looking back, you find them to fall in some combination of these categories/types: a) too corny for your likes, b) outdated, c) painful to watch, d) the canned laughter stands out too...

Hello, I have purchased a Casio CMD-40B watch. It functions as a remote control for your TV and Cable boxes. How it works is, you look up the specific TV's "code", tell it to the watch, and your watch now acts as the TV's remote control. Here is the Watch Manual...

Homework Statement The minute hand on a watch is 2.0cm in length. What is the displacement vector of the tip of the minute hand from 8:00 am to 8:20 am? It wants it in x and y components. Homework Equations I found this equation online- i(L sin 2pi(T/12)) + j ((L cos 2pi (T/12))...

These are professor Balakrishnan's quantum physics lectures, he also has classical physics lectures, they're worth watching,, he's good.. Enjoy ^_'' Edit: These are not very introductory, for that you can see Susskind's Lectures, or something else you might find..

Just wanted to say the new Family Guy episode is brilliant! Episode is called The Big Bang Theory, even if you don't like family guy this episode is going to become a classic for anyone even remotely bothered about science. Watch It! Chris

In Norway, we have a peak year not only for lemmings, but also for Vipera Berus, the European adder/viper. We also have dedicated snake lovers, like this woman, who enjoys having roughly 8 vipers outside her garden (her neighbours are rather annoyed that she doesn't kill them on sight). On...

So I was watching Fringe this morning and this came up. Then the character ominously solved it with a zero. I could solve the integral but there is a symbol that appears in the beginning that I am not familiar with. Plus, with the emphasis on him solving it with zero, maybe this is a famous...

For anyone who does dangerous sports/activities.Don't watch this is you are easily upset, you know what is going to happen. It happens at the end so you can safely watch the start and bail out.If this is considered inappropriate please remove it mods, but a warning has been given...

Kinda like "Being John Malkovitch" but not quite. My scenario deals with historical figures that are dead. What if it were possible to relive someone elses life, watch it on a tv perhaps, AND hear their thoughts as they thought them... We have Einstien's brain somewhere, right? If it were...

Homework Statement Calculate the angular velocity of the second, minute, and hour hand of a watch. Homework Equations Assuming the watch is functioning normally, a second hand must travel the entire 360 degrees in 60 second. The formula ω= ɵ/t would be used, where ω is angular velocity...

Really? I would think US users use it more... http://ca.news.yahoo.com/canadians-surf-watch-youtube-consult-wikipedia-more-other-20101228-020009-784.html" continued How do they even get their data such as age demographics ? I hope they are not data-mining.

I've just rented the first season on DVD. I have never seen the show before and I don't know if I am going to be too squeamish to watch it. I like scary stuff, but not too gory. I could never watch the Saw movies, for example. I've heard from friends that the Dexter plots are very good, and...

Hello forum, I have a metal wrist watch made of stainless steel and titanium (I think) and I was wondering why it is sometimes warm and sometimes cold (or colder than my body temperature it even gets unconfortable). I was thinking, is there something like a threshold body temperature where the...

The Department of Homeland Security has just issued a terror watch to law enforcement agencies in Texas. A Somali terrorist smuggler residing in Texas (how does that happen?) has been running a "large-scale smuggling operation" recently unsealed Federal court documents reveal. The...

My mind often wanders while driving, and since I had been reading a lot about watches one particular day, as well as having read an article on springs made of carbon nano-tubes, I thought it might be possible to power small electronic devices with a mechanical self-winding watch movement...

They say that when you go faster in space your watch would tick slower. How can the watch tick slower when the watch has a constant ticking rate determined by the gearratio? (I do understand that the rate of time decreases as the velocity increases)

Watch my video...or else! Some fellow students and myself recently entered a portable fuel cell competition for the international association for hydrogen energy. As part of this competition, we had to make a video presentation and put it on youtube. We are trying to get as many views and...

Homework Statement Can anyone give me a hand on how to start this? I would attempt a solution but I've tried over and over and can't seem to get anywhere. A man sets his watch at noon by the sound of a factory whistle 3 miles away. If the temperature of the air is 20-degrees C, how many...

http://pirsa.org/10020079/ Great talk about cool results. Perimeter has videos of a lot of excellent valuable lectures on line but if you would only watch one, be sure it's this :biggrin:

My wife and I have a neighbor who seems to buy DVDs at whim, as does his wife. We have borrowed movies from them, only to find that many (most!?) are not worth watching. They have "chick flicks", "sci fi", and other "drive-in" fare in spades. but it is rare that we can borrow a movie from them...

When I go to you tube to watch videos it says that I either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. But I have met both of those requirements and it still won't let me watch videos . Does anyone know how to fix this or have any ideas ? Anything would be...

Hi, I'm taking Calculus II in the Spring and I'm wondering what you guys did to succeed in that class. I know it's different for each school, but in general, I've heard calc 2 was integration hell. Anyways, here are some topics that was listed in the Fall Calc 2 final review, what should I look...

I hear that calc II is the hardest course in the calculus sequence. I am not sure why this is, but it is something that I hear constantly. Why is it considered to be so difficult? Are there a lot of formulas or are there many different applications of formulas, ideas, and logic? Obviously people...

My family is pooling to get me a watch for my upcoming mid 20s bday, since I've never had one for long time. I've looked around different sites and have absolutely no idea which to get. There is too many choices, and I don't know what the trend is today. So just wondering if anyone here is...

If you are traveling away from Earth on a spaceship near the speed of light, it is well known that the moving clocks on the ship run slower relative to stationary clocks on earth. I was wondering if while on the space ship, you could watch the news on TV and see events progress at a...

http://thehill.com/leading-the-news/conservative-group-sues-for-tarp-details-2009-02-16.html Hopefully this will be informative. The Obama administration has promised to put the second part of TARP on the web.

In theory, if you set up say a satellite camera pointed to a location in new york city, got in a space ship, turned on a tv with a live feed of the sim city like perspective of NYC, shot away going near the speed of light, would you start seeing time on Earth progressing faster and faster?

Anyone watch "House"? I have a question. First let me say that I know it is TV. But, my question is this: In an episode that I watched today, the three main doctors besides House (I don't know their names...black guy, white guy white chick works) performed a surgery on a patient. Don't they...

Omega Breitling Tag Which one? I am spoiling myself early this year. I will get a decent end of year bonus this year so it won't break my bank. Also, I don't buy nice watches to show off, I just like nice watches. They can complete a nice outfit.

Did anyone watch this tv show tonight? It had a scene about an immersion tank that reminded me of the William Hurt movie "Altered States". I will be back after Andrew Zimmern's season premiere with more, but here are a few clips from Altered States...

My pc restarts everytime I watch a video after 5 minutes (e.g. on youtube or if I watch a video with the windows media player) . a) I've already done a memory test (the memtest ran for 6 hours and didn't show any errors) b) I formatted the hard drive and reinstalled windows XP...

Hello guys, I have a problem solving these two questions, anybody come up with any idea will be appreciated... 1. A jet plane circles the Earth at the equator with a speed of Mach 4. By how much time is the pilot’s watch slow when it lands? 2. A spaceship leaves Earth for a distant star. It...
