5,902	4Computers & Internet	How can i cool my macintosh g5?		With your Mac you really only need to follow what the last poster said and make sure that you leave space around your computer so that it can pull in fresh air. There really isn't much you can add onto your actual computer to cool it without getting into trouble with your warranty, but your Mac was designed not to need additional components.

5,904	0Society & Culture	Do you celebrate Kwanzaa? How come television shows, the news, etc. don't really acknowledge Kwanzaa?		I don't celebrate Kwanzaa because I really don't know that much about it. I have noticed that Kwanzaa has gotten more press than Yule. I celebrate Yule as a Wiccan. That is part of being in a minority culture. Whether it be race, nationality or religion, if its not mainstream its hard to get recognized in the media. I hope someday the media realizes that there is more to the holiday season than Xmas and Hannukah.

5,912	2Health	why do pimples grow only on face?		A pimple is a type of skin lesion caused by inflamed and/or obstructed pores. The most common cause of pimples is acne. Excessive secretion of oils from the glands combines with naturally occurring dead skin cells to block the hair follicles. Oil secretions build up beneath the blocked pore, providing a perfect environment for the skin bacteria Propionibacterium acnes to multiply uncontrolled. In response, the skin inflames, producing the visible lesion. The face, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms are especially affected.

5,916	9Politics & Government	Is there a difference between morality, national law, and religious laws such as The Ten Commandments.?		Morality and Religious Laws tend to go hand in hand, which is typical, as it deals with personal nature, instead of governmental issues.\n\nHowever, National Law, Local state Law, and civil law tend to follow the morals of religion to some extent. This is a true crime, in my opinion, as it allows religion to dictate what the state can and can not do.\n\nTo some extent our government has harbored a christian ethos into running this country. However, to be inclusive of other faiths, and other nationalities within our own community, the government has adopted a policy of seperating church and state. but this ethos, that of sepration, isn't always as clean cut as one would hope.\n\nLet us hope that in the near future we will adopt a stance of removing religion from state governments and federal governments. To finally allow the SOCIETY to control religion, and let the GOVERNMENT worry about PROTECTING the society.

5,918	4Computers & Internet	How can you dynamically calculate the zoom level using Yahoo Map API... you can with GOOGLE... (getLowestZoom)		You can use some math to approximate the right zoom given boundary YGeoPoint max/min values… for example given fixed map container, you want to plot N points of which you identify YGP_MAX and YGP_MIN, you also figure out the relationship where latitude degrees per pixel doubles with each zoom out. You can observe this by inspecting return from:\nvar DegLatPerPix = (map.getBoundsLatLon().LatMax – map.getBoundsLatLon().LatMin)/(map.getContainerSize().height);\nThis is where you can guess roughly or go further to derive a function to accomplish the job. Let’s suppose you obtained DegLatPerPix_1 for zoom 1 your zoom follows following behaviour: zoom = 1 + log(Y/DegLatPerPix_1)/log(2), where Y represents value of degrees per pixel obtained from YGP_MAX and YGP_MIN.\n\nOR \n\nYou can simply use supplied (undocumented option) map.getZoomLevel(YGP_MAX,YGP_MIN) to return best zoom level to contain rectangle defined by YGP_MAX and YGP_MIN, optionally you can supply as third argument, container size.\ni.e. \nvar point1 = new YGeoPoint(45.213004,-123.222656);\nvar point2 = new YGeoPoint(32.101190,-83.671875);\n\nvar bestZoom = map.getZoomLevel(point1, point2);\n\nvar centerPoint = map.getCenterLatLon(); //get auto computed middle of the rectangle defined by MAX/MIN above\n\nmap.drawZoomAndCenter(centerPoint, bestZoom);\n\nCheers!
5,919	9Politics & Government	what is the Garcia law?		The Garcia law is not actually a law, but a ruling in Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority. The essence of the ruling is that Congress can apply minimum wage and fair labor standards laws to state and local governments, because of the commerce clause of the constitution. This ruling is somewhat questionable in the light of the later ruling in United States v. Lopez, in which the court ruled that Congress can only use its commerce clause powers to regulate the channels of commerce, the instrumentalities of commerce, and\naction that substantially affects interstate commerce.
5,920	3Education & Reference	how do i go about getting a student visa?	i am 17 years old and wish to attend a college in New Jersey. the only way i can get in i think is if i get a student visa as i am not yet a citizen of this country. i am really stuck here and i would really appreciate your help and advice.	you cannot get student visa before you enroll into a college.\n\nYou apply to college, and if they accept you, they send you form I-20, which you take to US emabssy or consulate (plus other paperwork, check the link above) and (hopefully) get a visa.\n\nIt is also a good idea to apply to several colleges in case your main choice does not take you in.
5,921	9Politics & Government	do u think we should get money back at the end of the year for paying bills all year like we do taxes?		You only get taxes back if you pay more than you are supposed to. You CAN get money back if you pay more for your bills than you're supposed to, but since they calculate how much you owe every month and you pay that amount every month, that doesn't happen. You have to pay for the services and goods you receive.

5,926	2Health	cure of insomnia?		There really isn't a Cure for insomnia, just treatments.. some well known meds are ambien, ambien CR, lunesta, remeron (helps calm you), or simple OTC meds like tylenol PM or store brand sleep aides work well, if it isn't serious health issue.. but there is a risk of becoming dependent on them of course! I have always found that writing (and/or drawing), like in a journal, can relax you enough to rest easy.. but thats only me.. but your best bet would be to speak with your physician about the issue and ask what they suggest you do! good luck!
5,927	0Society & Culture	How does one know who the right one to marry is or to ask out and if one is not very well off?		I guy was about to get married in a few days when his girlfriend's best friend invited him to her house. He went and found his girlfriend's friend in a bikini. She was astoundingly sexy and he always wanted to do something with her. She told him, " I've always wanted you, and since you are getting married with my friend I want to have you just one time before you get married", and then she said "I'll wait for you upstairs". As soon as she went upstairs, the guy turned around and ran for the door, opened it as quickly as possible and found his girlfriend standing outside. She said, "Oh my love, you passed the ultimate test!" and the guy felt a great relieve.\n\nLesson: Always leave your condoms in your car.\n\n0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000\n\nSo the point is, try that! hahhahahahhahaha.
5,928	6Business & Finance	IS BUSINESS AN ART OR SCIENCE?		I play it more like a sport. There are some artsy elements and sure you could sit around formulating calculations of strategy for purchasing artwork. But, when you take up a company and put it on the street you have to be ready to compete. The market is full of rival companies who don't want you squeezing profits away from their pocket books. They try to out advertise you, undercut your price, out perform your quality and services, pay higher wages to attract better employees, buy expensive equipment to provide better products/services, and on and on. You could sit back and calculate their next move, or design a better ad, but if your going to win profits -- you've got to get off your butt and get on the playing field now! It is better to lead the market than try to catch up and out score the competition.
5,929	4Computers & Internet	Who is the most famous hacker?		The most famous Hacker was Karl Koch (from Hannover Germany), he did several succesful hacks between 1985 and 1988. In 1988 he was caught and in 1989 he killed himself. He was heavily cocaine addict and thought the kgb would help him fight the illuminati that have undergone U.S. government. He hacked the nuclear power station "jülich" live in front of a camera (he needed the money). It is also know he entered several military systems of the U.S. and sold the information to the kgb, together with another people. For his motives: he strongly believed that all information should be free, he also had to finance his addiction to cocaine and was suffering from severe paranoia. I would call him the most famous hacker because there is als a film about him (but only in german: "23 – Nichts ist so wie es scheint") but also because he is an idol for many that believe in "hacking ethics".

5,933	3Education & Reference	What type of training/schooling should I get into (at age 46) with the shortest duration that will afford?	me the ability to make really good money?	I would say nursing. You can do the lpn program or the rn. The pay is good and there seems to be a big demand for nurses all the time.\n\nI should have went that route--dumb me--I became a teacher. Cripes--talk about low pay. I finally gave up teaching and now just do telemarketing (with a Master's Degree lol). I now make $10,000 more a year than I did teaching. Sad, isn't it?\n\nBe a nurse.
5,934	7Entertainment & Music	Who composed the famous tune "lambada"?,, and where can i find an english translation for its lyrics?		Ritchie Valens Sang La Bamba\n\nLa Bamba is a song about a dance. To my knowledge the word Bamba has no literal translation to English. I seem to remember a Spanish Prof or Teacher telling me once that the song's author made the word up as a name for the dance they are singing about, but I could be wrong on that.\n\nRough translation follows:\nPara bailar la bamba -To dance the bamba\nPara bailar la bamba -To dance the bamba\nSe necesita una poca de gracia -One needs a little grace\na Una poca de gracia para mi para ti -A little grace for me, for you\nya Arriba y arriba - already Up and up (the preceding is a literal translation arriba’s usually more like hurry up or on and on)\nay arriba y arriba por ti sere -oh up and up by you I was (again literal trans – I’m not 100% sure what the colloquialism is here)\nPor ti sere –Because of you\nYo no soy marinero -I am not a sailor\nYo no soy marinero -I am not a sailor\nSoy capitan -I am capitan\nSoy capitan -I am capitan\nSoy capitan -I am capitan\nBamba bamba-Bamba bamba\nBamba bamba-Bamba bamba\nBamba bamba -Bamba bamba\n \n\nPara bailar la bamba \nPara bailar la bamba \nSe necesito una poca de gracia \na Una poca de gracia para mi para ti \nya Arriba y arriba \nay arriba y arriba por ti sere \nPor ti sere \nBamba bamba \nBamba bamba \nBamba bamba
5,935	9Politics & Government	Who really killed JFK, Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and that girl in Ted Kennedy's car?	And don't say Oswald, Sirhan, Ray and Ted Kennedy. Seriously, guys, that would be very, very weak. Come on.	I really don’t think we will never know the true story behind each of these events. Each of these events has too many open questions. Many of the people involved are either old and/or have died.

5,938	4Computers & Internet	which is the best java IDE?		I believe Eclipse has significantly better community traction and support. (as a piece of anecdotal evidence, a search for "java netbeans" yields 2.3M results, while a search for "java eclipse" yields over 15M.)\nAlso, Eclipse is built on top of the SWT UI toolkit, as opposed to the more sluggish Swing over AWT model used by NetBeans.\nFinally, Eclipse is built as a generic IDE. People are actively building support for other languages over it, such as C/C++, PHP and Flash. It is nice to know you can leverage your knowledge of this IDE when looking into another language.
5,939	4Computers & Internet	How do I integrate a web store solution with Dreamweaver and ensure it can accept secure payment?	Im familiar with the open source project osCommerce.

5,945	5Sports	why isn't there number 7 in ncaa basketball?		In the NCAA and most high school athletic associations, no individual digit in a number that has to represented by more than one hand is allowed. \n\nThis is to make things easier for the refs when they have to signifiy numbers to the scorers table. This is important, especially when crowds can make vocal communications difficult.\n\nDouble digits are ok as long as they don't included a 6, 7, 8, or 9. Also, you'll realize that there are no tripple digit numbers, because that would take 3 hands to represent by the referees when calling numbers for fouls.\n\nThe NBA tries to hold by this rule, but it will allow exceptions.

5,948	6Business & Finance	what are yhe mission and vision goals and objectives of a bakeshop? help ASAP?		Vision: Paint a picture of what ideals you want to strive toward. How about "To be recognized by the city as having the best baked goods and most comfortable atmosphere of any shop in town."\n\nMission: More like Marching Orders. how about: "To produce and serve quality, fresh baked goods with variety which keeps our customers coming back, particularly the corporate customers (I am making stuff up here), insuring maximum longterm profitablity. You may want to add specifics about WHICH customers are important, which aspects of the bakeshop are important (quality food, on time delivery(?), high customer service and happy people, good atmosphere). You may want to add specifics about which products are important (cakes, morning goods, high-end coffee, etc).\n\nGoals and Objectives, I think you take it down a level toward specific actions:\n\n1) Improve customer satisfaction (+10% as measured by our survey (or something)) \nTactic 1a) Train all employees on customer service skills.\nTactic 1b) BE 10 minutes early for all deliveries.\n\n2) Improve Freshness\nTactic 2a) mark baking time on all goods - pitch goods after x hours\nTactic 2b) Recommend items that are newly out of the oven\n\n\n3) improve profitability\ntactic 3a) Measure production and wasted goods; reduce waste\ntactic 3b) Put a marketing program in place to market to local businesses, and increase sales\n\n\nJust some random thoughts .. hopefully mine plus others will give you a start! Best of Luck.
5,949	4Computers & Internet	where can i learn the basics of Information Technology in the shortest time?	(i.e DBMS,OS,Language and its uses)	There are lots of online resources, but let me offer some advice. There's no way to learn it well enough to do it, faster than it takes to actually gain a certain level of experience. You can't have a baby in 1 month with 9 women just because it takes 9 months with 1 woman.
5,950	8Family & Relationships	People. Help me!?	Okay. There's this guy.. I mentioned in one of my last-time questions. I haven't contacted him for 2 months. \nThen he comes online on MSN Messenger and I deliberately go offline. He sent me an e-mail saying that he knows I'm ignoring him on purpose and that he just wants to be friends.\n\nBut... I don't think I want to. Because I've noticed him doing something weird in class like cocking his head back and front. (E.g. like how people imitate chicken?)\n\nSo what should I do? I desperately need help.	I think you're being dramatic. If this is the only reason you don't like him than that's silly. Maybe he has a disorder or something and can't help it. You even said yourself that you think he may not know he is doing it. I have an 8 year old sister with tourettes, and she does weird things with her hands and her head. Th kids are really mean to her about it. Next time you feel like being rude to him for his actions, picture an 8 year old little girl coming in from school crying and maybe you'll think differently. Maybe he really does just need a friend.

5,960	3Education & Reference	Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?		The suds in your bubble bath aren't entirely white. They do have a slight amount of color from the soap, but it's so small it's hard to notice. Actually, all things that create bubbles experience this same phenomenon. Beer, soda, and detergents all produce bubbles that are considerably lighter than the liquid they came from.\n\nBubbles are composed of a thin spherical film. The film is both translucent and reflective so some of the light that is hitting the bubble is absorbed, but most is reflected. The small amount of light that is absorbed gives the color of the bubble, but the majority that is reflected takes the color of light around it which is usually white.\n\nWhen you mix any color with white it gets lighter. Because soaps have only a little dye they are easily diluted. Colas however have a dark caramel color, which is why their bubbles appear tan.\n\nTo alter this you can replace all your light bulbs with green tinted ones and your bubble bath will turn green.
5,961	2Health	If you get motion sick in cars, would you participate in a medical test if you were to get paid?	And if so, how much would you expect to get paid?\n\nI'm not asking for volunteers right now; just trying to figure out how willingly people would volunteer and how much a test would cost.\n\nThe test would take one hour. And while you'd probably be fine, there is some possibility that you would get a little sick.\n\nThanks for responding, whether yes or no.	i would if it was more physical and not towards experimental medicine. i was in a study once, but i didnt take the medicine. I had my wisdom tooth taken out. they gave me medicine to bring home since they cant keep me there. i went home and threw it away. when asked in a follow up, i said i took it and it relieved the pain, but some instances it didnt work so i took an advil and that helped. i said that because i didnt want to false information to get to the public. we would end up having all these people take medicine that was supposedly proven to work but didnt. I would probably want at least 100 dollars to be a ginea pig. Even if it was 200 buxx, and some people only make like 60 buxx a day after taxes, i dont think people want to be a ginea pig. so, at least 100 would be fine for me, given that its only an hour. because look on the other side. i make between 40 to 60 an hour. so, why bother being a ginea pig unless its more then that? whats the average income in that area?

From Wikipedia: In mathematics, a perfect number is defined as an integer which is the sum of its proper positive divisors, excluding itself.\n\nSix (6) is the first perfect number, because 1, 2 and 3 are its proper positive divisors and 1 + 2 + 3 = 6.

5,990	1Science & Mathematics	What are wormholes and how could they be useful to us?		A worm hole is a idea, not a proven fact. With that said, if a worm hole does exist, then its two points in space that are connected by a "shortcut" in the universe. Formed by a fold in space-time or bending of space-time via gravity or collapsed star or whatever. Anyway, it would be useful if somehow the ends could be controlled. If the ends could be controlled and moved this would lead to the time machine. Example, one end is taken at relativistic speeds away from earth and then returned, when it gets back you have a time machine. Because of the relativity effects, by going threw the "shortcut" aka worm hole, one could travel back and forth threw time. Of course the idea is just an idea and the technology needed may be impossible. Hope this is thought prevoking though!

why do pimples grow only on face?

A pimple is a type of skin lesion caused by inflamed and/or obstructed pores. The most common cause of pimples is acne. Excessive secretion of oils from the glands combines with naturally occurring dead skin cells to block the hair follicles. Oil secretions build up beneath the blocked pore, providing a perfect environment for the skin bacteria Propionibacterium acnes to multiply uncontrolled. In response, the skin inflames, producing the visible lesion. The face, chest, back, shoulders and upper arms are especially affected.

Is there a difference between morality, national law, and religious laws such as The Ten Commandments.?

Morality and Religious Laws tend to go hand in hand, which is typical, as it deals with personal nature, instead of governmental issues.\n\nHowever, National Law, Local state Law, and civil law tend to follow the morals of religion to some extent. This is a true crime, in my opinion, as it allows religion to dictate what the state can and can not do.\n\nTo some extent our government has harbored a christian ethos into running this country. However, to be inclusive of other faiths, and other nationalities within our own community, the government has adopted a policy of seperating church and state. but this ethos, that of sepration, isn't always as clean cut as one would hope.\n\nLet us hope that in the near future we will adopt a stance of removing religion from state governments and federal governments. To finally allow the SOCIETY to control religion, and let the GOVERNMENT worry about PROTECTING the society.

How can you dynamically calculate the zoom level using Yahoo Map API... you can with GOOGLE... (getLowestZoom)

You can use some math to approximate the right zoom given boundary YGeoPoint max/min values… for example given fixed map container, you want to plot N points of which you identify YGP_MAX and YGP_MIN, you also figure out the relationship where latitude degrees per pixel doubles with each zoom out. You can observe this by inspecting return from:\nvar DegLatPerPix = (map.getBoundsLatLon().LatMax – map.getBoundsLatLon().LatMin)/(map.getContainerSize().height);\nThis is where you can guess roughly or go further to derive a function to accomplish the job. Let’s suppose you obtained DegLatPerPix_1 for zoom 1 your zoom follows following behaviour: zoom = 1 + log(Y/DegLatPerPix_1)/log(2), where Y represents value of degrees per pixel obtained from YGP_MAX and YGP_MIN.\n\nOR \n\nYou can simply use supplied (undocumented option) map.getZoomLevel(YGP_MAX,YGP_MIN) to return best zoom level to contain rectangle defined by YGP_MAX and YGP_MIN, optionally you can supply as third argument, container size.\ni.e. \nvar point1 = new YGeoPoint(45.213004,-123.222656);\nvar point2 = new YGeoPoint(32.101190,-83.671875);\n\nvar bestZoom = map.getZoomLevel(point1, point2);\n\nvar centerPoint = map.getCenterLatLon(); //get auto computed middle of the rectangle defined by MAX/MIN above\n\nmap.drawZoomAndCenter(centerPoint, bestZoom);\n\nCheers!

The Garcia law is not actually a law, but a ruling in Garcia v. San Antonio Metropolitan Transit Authority.

This ruling is somewhat questionable in the light of the later ruling in United States v. Lopez, in which the court ruled that Congress can only use its commerce clause powers to regulate the channels of commerce, the instrumentalities of commerce, and\naction that substantially affects interstate commerce.

IS BUSINESS AN ART OR SCIENCE?

I play it more like a sport. There are some artsy elements and sure you could sit around formulating calculations of strategy for purchasing artwork. But, when you take up a company and put it on the street you have to be ready to compete. The market is full of rival companies who don't want you squeezing profits away from their pocket books. They try to out advertise you, undercut your price, out perform your quality and services, pay higher wages to attract better employees, buy expensive equipment to provide better products/services, and on and on. You could sit back and calculate their next move, or design a better ad, but if your going to win profits -- you've got to get off your butt and get on the playing field now! It is better to lead the market than try to catch up and out score the competition.

The most famous Hacker was Karl Koch (from Hannover Germany), he did several succesful hacks between 1985 and 1988. In 1988 he was caught and in 1989 he killed himself. He was heavily cocaine addict and thought the kgb would help him fight the illuminati that have undergone U.S. government. He hacked the nuclear power station "jülich" live in front of a camera (he needed the money). It is also know he entered several military systems of the U.S. and sold the information to the kgb, together with another people. For his motives: he strongly believed that all information should be free, he also had to finance his addiction to cocaine and was suffering from severe paranoia. I would call him the most famous hacker because there is als a film about him (but only in german: "23 – Nichts ist so wie es scheint") but also because he is an idol for many that believe in "hacking ethics".

Ritchie Valens Sang La Bamba\n\nLa Bamba is a song about a dance. To my knowledge the word Bamba has no literal translation to English. I seem to remember a Spanish Prof or Teacher telling me once that the song's author made the word up as a name for the dance they are singing about, but I could be wrong on that.\n\nRough translation follows:\nPara bailar la bamba -To dance the bamba\nPara bailar la bamba -To dance the bamba\nSe necesita una poca de gracia -One needs a little grace\na Una poca de gracia para mi para ti -A little grace for me, for you\nya Arriba y arriba - already Up and up (the preceding is a literal translation arriba’s usually more like hurry up or on and on)\nay arriba y arriba por ti sere -oh up and up by you I was (again literal trans – I’m not 100% sure what the colloquialism is here)\nPor ti sere –Because of you\nYo no soy marinero -I am not a sailor\nYo no soy marinero -I am not a sailor\nSoy capitan -I am capitan\nSoy capitan -I am capitan\nSoy capitan -I am capitan\nBamba bamba-Bamba bamba\nBamba bamba-Bamba bamba\nBamba bamba -Bamba bamba\n \n\nPara bailar la bamba \nPara bailar la bamba \nSe necesito una poca de gracia \na Una poca de gracia para mi para ti \nya Arriba y arriba \nay arriba y arriba por ti sere \nPor ti sere \nBamba bamba \nBamba bamba \nBamba bamba

which is the best java IDE?

I believe Eclipse has significantly better community traction and support. (as a piece of anecdotal evidence, a search for "java netbeans" yields 2.3M results, while a search for "java eclipse" yields over 15M.)\nAlso, Eclipse is built on top of the SWT UI toolkit, as opposed to the more sluggish Swing over AWT model used by NetBeans.\nFinally, Eclipse is built as a generic IDE. People are actively building support for other languages over it, such as C/C++, PHP and Flash. It is nice to know you can leverage your knowledge of this IDE when looking into another language.

What is leukemia?

Leukemia is any of various acute or chronic neoplastic diseases of the bone marrow in which unrestrained proliferation of white blood cells occurs, usually accompanied by anemia, impaired blood clotting, and enlargement of the lymph nodes, liver, and spleen.\n\n Leukemia is a type of cancer. Cancer is a group of more than 100 diseases that have two important things in common. One is that certain cells in the body become abnormal. Another is that the body keeps producing large numbers of these abnormal cells.\n\nLeukemia is cancer of the blood cells. Each year, nearly 27,000 adults and more than 2,000 children in the United States learn that they have leukemia. To understand leukemia, it is helpful to know about normal blood cells and what happens to them when leukemia develops.

why isn't there number 7 in ncaa basketball?

In the NCAA and most high school athletic associations, no individual digit in a number that has to represented by more than one hand is allowed. \n\nThis is to make things easier for the refs when they have to signifiy numbers to the scorers table. This is important, especially when crowds can make vocal communications difficult.\n\nDouble digits are ok as long as they don't included a 6, 7, 8, or 9. Also, you'll realize that there are no tripple digit numbers, because that would take 3 hands to represent by the referees when calling numbers for fouls.\n\nThe NBA tries to hold by this rule, but it will allow exceptions.

People. Help me!?

Okay. There's this guy.. I mentioned in one of my last-time questions. I haven't contacted him for 2 months. \nThen he comes online on MSN Messenger and I deliberately go offline. He sent me an e-mail saying that he knows I'm ignoring him on purpose and that he just wants to be friends.\n\nBut... I don't think I want to. Because I've noticed him doing something weird in class like cocking his head back and front. (E.g. like how people imitate chicken?)\n\nSo what should I do? I desperately need help.

I think you're being dramatic. If this is the only reason you don't like him than that's silly. Maybe he has a disorder or something and can't help it. You even said yourself that you think he may not know he is doing it. I have an 8 year old sister with tourettes, and she does weird things with her hands and her head. Th kids are really mean to her about it. Next time you feel like being rude to him for his actions, picture an 8 year old little girl coming in from school crying and maybe you'll think differently. Maybe he really does just need a friend.

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

The suds in your bubble bath aren't entirely white. They do have a slight amount of color from the soap, but it's so small it's hard to notice. Actually, all things that create bubbles experience this same phenomenon. Beer, soda, and detergents all produce bubbles that are considerably lighter than the liquid they came from.\n\nBubbles are composed of a thin spherical film. The film is both translucent and reflective so some of the light that is hitting the bubble is absorbed, but most is reflected. The small amount of light that is absorbed gives the color of the bubble, but the majority that is reflected takes the color of light around it which is usually white.\n\nWhen you mix any color with white it gets lighter. Because soaps have only a little dye they are easily diluted. Colas however have a dark caramel color, which is why their bubbles appear tan.\n\nTo alter this you can replace all your light bulbs with green tinted ones and your bubble bath will turn green.

i would if it was more physical and not towards experimental medicine. i was in a study once, but i didnt take the medicine. I had my wisdom tooth taken out. they gave me medicine to bring home since they cant keep me there. i went home and threw it away. when asked in a follow up, i said i took it and it relieved the pain, but some instances it didnt work so i took an advil and that helped. i said that because i didnt want to false information to get to the public. we would end up having all these people take medicine that was supposedly proven to work but didnt. I would probably want at least 100 dollars to be a ginea pig. Even if it was 200 buxx, and some people only make like 60 buxx a day after taxes, i dont think people want to be a ginea pig. so, at least 100 would be fine for me, given that its only an hour. because look on the other side. i make between 40 to 60 an hour. so, why bother being a ginea pig unless its more then that? whats the average income in that area?

What are wormholes and how could they be useful to us?

A worm hole is a idea, not a proven fact. With that said, if a worm hole does exist, then its two points in space that are connected by a "shortcut" in the universe. Formed by a fold in space-time or bending of space-time via gravity or collapsed star or whatever. Anyway, it would be useful if somehow the ends could be controlled. If the ends could be controlled and moved this would lead to the time machine. Example, one end is taken at relativistic speeds away from earth and then returned, when it gets back you have a time machine. Because of the relativity effects, by going threw the "shortcut" aka worm hole, one could travel back and forth threw time. Of course the idea is just an idea and the technology needed may be impossible. Hope this is thought prevoking though!
