Hiya Kat, Hallo! :-) General Q's Where are you from? Petersburg City, Virginia (USA). Though more commonly I like to just say 'from the moon' :-P Do you attend university? I am about to start my freshman year of college on Aug 22, 2005; So yes, in a few days I will be attending University! *Is nervous and excited* I am going to Emory and Henry college (at least for the first year...with the big scholarship they game me I can actually afford it! ^^; But I might be switching over to VA Tech for the second year, still deciding). Or do you work a job? I have been working a summer job as a receptionist/office worker at my mom’s internal medicine office (she is a doctor. Want to know more? *Points you to her mom's well-written blog*). I also worked a bit in the Adult day care center, but I doubt that counts as a true job as I did not get paid >.< (was volunteer work). What music are you into? I like all types of music really, though the styles I listen to tend to change with my mood. Though I do have a special place in my heart of Native American, Celtic, Middle Eastern & ‘Bollywood’, Electronica/Techno, and all forms of Jazz! (yes my taste of music is odd -.o). Oh and anything made by Yoko Kanno or Yasunori Mitsuda is good! What are your hobbies? I <3 to read books in my spare time (any and all books ^.^)...I also read some manga/comics/web comics as well. I like to draw, write stories and poetry sometimes too (plus I have been working on a novel I plan to write (donno if I will publish or even let anyone else see it though >.> it is just something to do for fun), though right now I am still do researching/world and character building for it. Got the first chapter down as well, though I might be redoing once I am done fleshing out the story in my mind) Also video games tend to invade and take over my life from time to time. I like to do self assigned projects and research areas I find of interest (like computer science related stuff, biology/evolutionary biology, paleontology *huggles the dinosaurs*, Archeology, History (esp. Native American history, early cultures, or civil war, and WWII related things), engineering, and architecture (gained a love for these last two in high school…I was a tech major so I got to take two engineering courses you see ^^;). *science and history channels are my best friends*. Examples of ‘projects: I am currently building my own computer (almost done, got all the parts in it just need to connect the wires to the right places then boot up and install the OS), I went (like I said above) on a course/dig last summer for fossils (fish fossils though, not dinosaurs), currently reading a book about the pacific theater of WWII (late in WWII, about Japan/Philippines and all that good stuff). And of course AQ is my biggest hobby! O:) Do you like being a mod? Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. I have never been one to like leadership positions; I normally decline them to tell the truth. But I like AQ enough that I want to help it and I figure I can do more help by being on staff then not *shrug* so after two years here I am, still a mod, lol. Plus after the first year I was a mod I had strong enough ties with the community (and felt comfortable enough as a mod) so that no matter how frustrated I got I knew the people I was helping (even if at times it was with "tough love") were worth it and I was able to continue on. ^^ (though I still find it hard to deal with the fact that many times I am seen as 'the mod' and not as myself -.o) When you login, is there a "ban" button that comes under options for each member? Yes there is a ban button (IP and login) that I can access for each members when I log in *nods and laughs ebilly* but I have to go into their profile, it is not out in the open like some of the other options are. Maths: Differentiate x^x (hint: use logarithms) Donno, sorry. >.>; I have not taken Calculus yet. *makes a note to self to look into differentiate stuff and learn it if she can to try and answer this question later* Physics: A spaceship (A) is travelling at 0.8c relative to an oberver (B). The spaceship's rest mass is 20 000 000 kg and has a length of 100 meters. What is the length and mass of the spaceship from B's frame of reference? Assuming the spaceship had unlimited fuel, why can't it accelerate past the speed of light? /me is too lazy to work the special relativity question out...with come back to this question later. ^^; It cannot accelerate past the speed of light because (e=mc^2), no matter how much energy you put in it will always be less then c, right? (You lose energy in the process) So if it is less then c to start with you cannot reach c (speed of light). (gah! been to long since, physics class, lol :-P I am most likely wrong but oh well) Chemistry: 1) Define the priniciple of dynamic equilibrium and explain it's application to a saturated NaCl solution. Explain the effect of temperature on the position of the equilibrium (take the dissolution of NaCl as the forward reaction). Explain the effect on the equilibrium if Sodium Hydoxide was added to the NaCl solution. DE: "Reversible reactions give rise to a state of dynamic equilibrium, where the products of the reaction are converted back into the reactants from which they were derived as fast as they are formed:When a reversible reaction has established a dynamic equilibrium, things just don't stand still! There are countless numbers of A and B molecules being converted to C and D, and vice versa. The MOST IMPORTANT thing to bear in mind is that when equilibrium has been reached, the CONCENTRATIONS of A, B, C and D do not change with time - they have reached a CONSTANT value." If one solution is hot, and one is cooler then the molecules will migrate from one temp. to the other until they both reach a equilibrium. Also what happens when salt is added? "When salts dissolve, a dynamic equilibrium is established between undissolved solid and ions in solution; the rate of dissolution equals the rate of crystallization." 2. Find the pH of a 10^-2 mol/L BaOH solution assuming complete ionisation. *has been 2 years since chem, too lazy to work out the answer ;P* 3. Find the pH of a 10^-8 molar HCl solution. Why does the pH formula not work for this particular example? *has been 2 years since chem,too lazy to work out the answer ;P* Weird Q's If I can figure out the answers to those science/maths questions, does that make me a nerd? It just means you are good at math/chem/physics...and a nerd but in a good way! :) If I wrote those questions, does that make me more of a nerd? You were a nerd before you wrote the questions, writting them just showed off your nerdiness! Do I have a nerdy image on the forums? Do you think I'm a nerd in real life or just a smart guy? On the forums? Naw, though you have your own unique image on them. And nerd, smart guy...whats the diffrence? XD heh, maybe you are both in real life? *power to nerds 'n stuff!* People have died playing 80 continous hours of Counterstrike. Does that hold true for studying? Somehow I think studying would be more stressful and kill you in more like 60 hours...Then again college students are still alive so many it is not deadly? o.o; If you were an admin, would you change my name to "Neon Nerd"? Nope, I think your name is fine the way it is. ;) Is fart flammable? Yes. It is made of a mix of Oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen and methane (green house gas, responsable for the early warming of our planet (with the help of the orginizams tht made it)...combustible >.>) after all. Is adult material (i.e. nude images) legal to 13 year old children in Japan? The Article 177 of the Penal Code puts the age of consent for sexual actitvity at thirteen (13) years. However for the selling of adult material "The Japanese government implemented legislation in April 1999 that baned Internet providers from sending pornography to anyone under age 18. The law requires Internet pornography suppliers to verify the age of clients before providing contracted services. ("Japan seeks tighter control over Internet porn," Agence France-Presse, 6 March 1998)" How much does Fat Bastard from Austin Powers weigh? He weighs a metric ton, which is 2204 pounds. (well minus the 180lb he said he lost) How come he doesn't look that fat? Donno...maybe a lot of it is housed in an alternate dimesion and we only see the 'tip of the ice beirge' as the say goes? Can people develop immunity to electric shocks just like immunity to diseases? I don't think you can >.> unless you killed off enough of your nerves so that you could not feel it and/or went brain dead... Hypotheticals 1. How low would u go for a million bucks? For only a million? I might enter the lottery, or sue someone or learn how to own at the stock market...Now if you offered several billion...*hides her silenced gun from sight* you saw nothing! >.> <.< 2. Would be a CD pirate if you could earn 500K a year? No, I would not find any fun in the job. I rather have a job I can get by on but love then a job where I earn a lot but don't have enthusiasm for. 3. If you're falling off the Sydney Harbour Bridge and had hammer in your hand, would you smash it into the water to break your fall? Or would you not both cos the myth's been busted by the Myth Busters? I would throw the hammer away! pfft if I am going to go into water why have somelike like a hammer weighting me down? XD 4. Would you rather be rich but hated or a hobo but respected? A hobo but respected. Thanks for answering the questions, cya later. No problem, has been fun! Tschüs! ^_~
