And things can go straight from solid to gas also (sublimation) like dry ice (solid CO2) which goes straight to gaseous state in ambient atmosphere.

I thought the Asus R1F is close... 13.3" Personally I have the T4210. Has been a little workhorse for me. Quote: Originally Posted by Edwood Depends on your definition of "soooo expensive". Gateway has the sole 14" model currently, and it weighs in at just under $1000. It's the...

With as little usage as you need, look into prepaid cell phones. All the major carriers have prepaid cell phones these days.

To help re-educate and remind Americans of the true meaning of Memorial Day, the "National Moment of Remembrance" resolution was passed on Dec 2000 which asks that at 3 p.m. local time, for all Americans "To voluntarily and informally observe in their own way a Moment of remembrance and respect...

For a starter check out http://www.tabletpcreviewspot.com/ I have a Fujitsu 4210 tablet. Works quite well for me. If he's looking for a convertible tablet (One that flips from laptop configuration to tablet,) check out the offerings from IBM, Asus and Fujitsu. The Toshiba Satellite has had...

speaking of google, I've noticed I don't even notice those advertisements. I either just scroll down far enough not to see them, or just completely overlook look them out of habit now. How many people actually pay attention to them???

Looks like she's got your eyes Ed.

I thought this thread was about Edwood's dog. I'm more of a beer drinker, Stella, Guiness, Boddington's... I like making my own bloody mary's though. Celery salt, worces... umm that black stuff, tabasco, tomato juice, a little horseradish, and top it off with a celery stick.

Electrical Engineering in the U.S. is a fairly broad field, but there are specialties that will focus more on audio. If in doubt talk to the professors. Main areas to look for Analog Design: Things such as amplifiers, pre-amps, buffers etc. How to design the circuit, how to lay it out, how...

Lactic acid is used as a fuel. Dr. Brooks and his UC Berkeley colleagues found that muscle cells use carbohydrates anaerobically for energy, producing lactate as a byproduct, but then burn the lactate with oxygen to create far more energy. The first process, called the glycolytic pathway...

A light workout actually helps. burns off the residual acids. People take a short jog the day after a marathon... http://www.teamoregon.com/publicatio.../afterthe.html

Check out asus. The laptops I've seen have all been solidly built. This is their Tablet Laptop http://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3453 A little more info would be helpful. What will this machine be used for? Sitting at a given location most of the time? Moving around quite a...

If you do take creatine, make sure you look into it carefully. If you aren't on a set schedule of on and off periods your body can build a dependence on it. If it's the drive, maybe find a workout partner. It helps immensely if you know somebody is meeting you there instead of "no one will...

I think he means the ability to store the bootable section of the OS on a USB drive to increase start up speed. Intel and Microsoft have different way of implementing this. Microsoft is going for the USB drive aspect. Intel is going for a Flash memory on motherboard to store the bootable...

Part of the issue is that a serving size isn't supposed to constitute a meal. Take the Mac and Cheese for an example. It's supposed to be a side with (usually) a main protein (grilled chicken) and a carb (rice or bread) finish that off and you'll probably be full. I noticed that while I was...

Happy Holidays Everyone

just posting to see what my join date is <-----

Check out Costco. I know they have discounted lift tickets in oregon for Mt Bachelor and Mt. Hood

Individual software isn't optimized for multiple cores yet, but if you run multiple programs concurrently, your better off with multiple cores. Easy explanation of a core, is more or less the brain of a computer. More brains, the more things you can run at the same time. But if you don't...

I would also like to mention that being "rounder" is a little bit more prevalent in females at an older age due to maternity. Once a lady has a child, a lot of times the metabolism will change drastically in addition to the lifestyle changes that a child brings along. Not to say it's not...

It's just funny. People go to a gym to workout (primarily) yet they don't want to put the weights back. It just works your muscles more.... Kinda like driving two blocks to the gym so you can get on a treadmill....

The issue is just mislabeled as Obesity Epidemic. It's more like an issue with inactivity. Combine this with unhealthy eating habits (high calorie, poor nutrition) and this GENERALLY leads to obesity. It doesn't mean all obese people are unhealthy or non-obese people are healthy.

Regarding the Majors, Electrical Engineering is a broader major. Computer engineering is sort of a mix of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. For my school (Oregon State University) the only major difference for undergraduates is that you take more CS courses than an EE at the...
