For a while now I have noticed on Answers, people having problem with MS Vista. I realise that a lot of people believe Microsoft's hype, but is Vista being held back by the fact that computer sellers are loading Vista onto machines that are not suitable for Vista, a case in point is the £299 Gateway laptop from Tesco's. I had to recently set one up for a colleague and it took forever to boot to a usable condition.
Far be it from me to say that Vista is a complete piece of C£"P, but Win 3.11/95 and 98, whilst not perfect, allowed people to get to grips with computers. I also agree that from WinNT onwards the NTFS file system was more efficient, but from Win XP onwards Microsofts OS's are becoming more intrusive and more a target for malware and viruses than ever before.

I've read that Muhammad will return in the 6th hour of the 6th day in the 6th month, also Allah in Greek is 666.

I don't know what 777 means as of yet.

So, AP Chem. is hell.

Let's say you had to draw 2-methyl-3-octene

where would you place the "H" and the "="

gah, I wish I can draw on here.

I already have the following::

H-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-C-H

where would you place the methyl, equal sign, and the other hydrogen bonds?

For instance, I'm trying to figure out the acute angle between the surfaces:
x(y^2)z = 3x + z^2 and 3x^2 - y^2 + 2z = 1 at the point (1,-2,1).

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Hi everyone i have a 12 year old staff named 'chuggy' he became unwell yesterday because i caught him eating in my next door neighbours bins because they're to lazy to put them out on the day or keep them locked up.

Well anyway after he got really ill and started acting strange: wasn't eating, eyes drowzy wouldn't go to sleep. I thought it was time.

However this afternoon he was sick a couple of times and he went a crap and that. Then i realised he had blood coming from his anus!! So i called up the vet and told him what happened and he said its gone off food which has gave him bad digestive problems.

Im stuck for what to do, he looks much better now and is drinking water, and his body is fighting back i know it is. He is beginning to get better i can see it.

Should i stay by his side and let his body compensate, because this can be good for future purposes or should i go down the vets and get him a shot of antibiotics or drugs. Which in my opinion he doesn't really need?

He sounds like a very annoying person. He claims he made a deal with Wiccan gods to keep on teaching if he won the Mega Millions.

Can we lock this freak up?
