2nd law of thermodynamics: Physicist Lord Kelvin stated it technically as follows:

"There is no natural process the only result of which is to cool a heat reservoir and do external work." In more understandable terms, this law observes the fact that the useable energy in the universe is becoming less and less. Ultimately there would be no available energy left. Stemming from this fact we find that the most probable state for any natural system is one of disorder. All natural systems degenerate when left to themselves. it is well known that, left to themselves, chemical compounds ultimately break apart into simpler materials; they do not ultimately become more complex. Outside forces can increase order for a time (through the expenditure of relatively large amounts of energy, and through the input of design). However, such reversal cannot last forever. Once the force is released, processes return to their natural direction - greater disorder. Their energy is transformed into lower levels of availability for further work. The natural tendency of complex, ordered arrangements and systems is to become simpler and more disorderly with time. Thus, in the long term, there is an overall downward trend throughout the universe. Ultimately, when all the energy of the cosmos has been degraded, all molecules will move randomly, and the entire universe will be cold and without order. To put it simply: In the real world, the long-term overall flow is downhill, not uphill. All experimental and physical observation appears to confirm that the Law is indeed universal, affecting all natural processes in the long run. Naturalistic Evolutionism requires that physical laws and atoms organize themselves into increasingly complex and beneficial, ordered arrangements. Thus, over eons of time, billions of things are supposed to have developed upward, becoming more orderly and complex. However, this basic law of science (2nd Law of Thermodynamics) reveals the exact opposite. In the long run, complex, ordered arrangements actually tend to become simpler and more disorderly with time. There is an irreversible downward trend ultimately at work throughout the universe. Evolution, with its ever increasing order and complexity, appears impossible in the natural world.

I downloaded the ROM and the kinst.chd file. The FMV and opening logos do not show. Instead, I get some blue screen instead for those parts. The game works fine, minus the problems stated above. Is there more to download?

I've noticed in the past few months that my cat (an 11 yr. old Turkish Van) has had trouble swallowing her food and drinking water, is coughing up mucus, and has crust buildup on her eyes. She is also sleeping more often for longer periods of time. Is this pnemonia, the "kitty flu", or other feline ailment? She is an indoor cat who occasionally spends time outside. I'm afraid that if I take her to the vet, that they'll tell me that euthanasia is the only logical remedy. I've had this cat since she could fit in my palm; it would be devastating for me to put her down. Are there any remedies out there that I can treat her with to calm her symptons?

I'm thinking of buying a larger RAM (1GB). My computer had space for two RAM cards and the one I have at the moment is 512MB. In total, I'll have both of these cards working giving me over 1 1/2GB. Will this increase the speed of my computer?
