Tormod Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Jeez!!! Do I have to tell you ALL the answers??? Why do you have all the answers? Bottled water consists entirely of atoms, dufus!! And atoms have protons in their nuclei!! And the proton has a half-life of 10^88 years!! Then how come I have a bottle here which says "Use before Jan 12, 2008"? That's slightly less even than the half-life of protons... B) Don't you EVER read the fine print on the labels????? B) Why do they put fine print on the labels? They could use ugly print and save money.

Pyrotex Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Okay.Another stupid question.How come no one has given any feedback on my cellular automaton, available in the #2 post of the thread "Cellular Automaton"? Don't y'all like me no more? DON'T ANSWER THAT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerseun Posted March 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I think we use CAPS maybe 1% of the time. So here's a question: Have you ever seen a computer keyboard with keys marked in lowercase? :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrmdave Posted March 14, 2007 Report Share Posted March 14, 2007 I don't think it is. Check out this site: Lowercase PS/2 Keyboard Black It's the same brand, but a different color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boerseun Posted March 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 Another rather stupid question: If the Earth was as smooth as a marble, with no surface features at all, and no liquid water, i.e. a smooth, solid ball; would the atmosphere be tidally locked to the moon, or would the temperature gradient between poles and the equator be a bigger force? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qfwfq Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I'd say tidal effect causes a slight density difference, especially at great altitudes, but this doesn't imply a net westward current of air. Mountains can't be making much of a difference to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Neptune might be closer. No mountains, no surface, no oceans. However, Neptune doesn't have a big temperature gradient and Jupiter has way too much spin. So, the comparisons are not good.

So, the comparisons are not good.Problem with Jupiter, also, is that more heat bubbles up from its interior than it receives from the sun! So any convection there is more Jupiter-driven than sun-driven, in any case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
