Is it theoretically possible for the president to win the election by a single vote?
In the popular vote? Yes.

It's the electoral college that does the actual voting, and if a majority is not held in there it goes to the house.

Adams/Jackson was the only one time to have this happen iirc
 
Can you guys help to settle a dumb drunken argument?

1) Can you fit china's entire population into ENGLAND (not UK but england) comfortably per square ft.

2) Can you fit INDIA's entire population into ENGLAND (not UK but england) comfortably per square ft.

3) can you fit the ENTIRE PLANETS population into England (per Sqr ft)

1,403,565,926,400 England in sq ft
1,331,460,000 Population of China in 2009

If the entirety of the land was flat, yes you could fit everyone in the world on England. Comfortably? No.

Per Wolfram Alpha, England's area is 1.404×10^12 sq ft.

Divide that by 7 billion, you get 200 sq ft/person. So, yes.
 
If you text someone who doesn't have your number in their phone and they don't respond, is it safe to say they didn't read your text? Is it okay to call them or text them again if they haven't responded within 24 hours?

Yes, this person is a girl, but no, I am not trying to date her (she is married). We were supposed to hang out this weekend, so she gave me her number. Now when I ask if we're still on for tomorrow night, she hasn't responded. What is the appropriate etiquette here?

Ok thanks, that's what I figured. I guess it's time to dl Chrome.
Probably not what you're looking for (and Chrome is a good solution) but I'll just mention it anyway: you can forward all mail from one account to another account, and if you get it from the forwarded account, you can reply as the forwarded account so no one knows where you're replying from. Also Google has a quick-switch button so you can link two accounts and instantly switch from one to another and back without logging out and logging in and logging out and logging in.

How do I view all posts by users? It says I don't have permission.
It's a form of searching and searching is disabled. You can search on Google: site:neogaf.com keyword

It's not as comprehensive but it's something.

That's actually exactly what I was looking for. I've already got multiple programs open for work, I don't really want a 2nd browser open. Ok, thanks, I'll play with that and see how it goes.
 
If I preorder a game on Amazon right now, but between now and release date they include a $20-off promotion for preordering the game (or any preorder bonus), will that automatically be applied to my order? For example, when I preordered Portal 2, Amazon included $20 credit for my next purchase. If I preorder a game today, but tomorrow they include the same $20-off deal, will that automatically affect my order?

I know that if the price changes I'll be given the lower price, but I'm not sure if the same holds true for pre-order bonuses and such.

For forwarding, you can find it under the "Accounts and Imports" tab in Settings.
For switching, click your e-mail address in the top right corner, in the pop-down, "Switch Account" to set it up the first time, and then once you've got it all set up, that button will just switch you there automatically, and then back.
 
Is it possible for Chocolate Milk to be addicting? When ever I have it I feel all peaceful and calm. When I'm with out it for a few days I start to get really cranky.

Anything can be psychologically addicting.

You do indeed automatically get the bonus. This happened to me not too long ago actually. I think for Killzone 3.

Long time ago there was a post with a video of a dude multitracking his voice live and doing some cool reggae-like song .... I remember that it was not in youtube but something ....grey

No need for the video (but bonus points if has it)... just his name would help
 
Why am I flabbier through-out the day than when I wake up? Like I'll wake up, look in the mirror and think to myself that my workouts are actually doing something but even as soon as I take a shower I look fatter.

Maybe cuz your tissues loosen up as your body gets warmer?
 
I'm thinking of running some sort of contest on GAF for the hell of it with the prize being something thats pretty cool I guess...

any ideas what the contest should be? the contest needs to be related to PC games somehow though.
 
if you don't believe in god are you automatically an atheist? Or is Atheism more a particular view, instead of just being non-religious/believer?

It doesn't matter what the label is.

How do I separate audio streams in audacity? Like when I have vocals mixed with something else, and I just want the vocals.
You can't easily do that with Audacity (same for most other programs).
 
I don't think this is really a stupid question, but where can I buy 'display cases' for Blu-ray disc movies?

So that I can have it on the wall for display. I think I saw it in some Activision video (not sure) long ago and have been looking for it these last months.

Do you mean something like a book shelf or do you want the front covers to be facing forward all the time?

Yes, you're automatically an atheist.

Being a complete fucking mong in the thread about 12 year olds.

Was being a tool in other threads too, but that was probably the one that did him in.

Must have been an account suicide, 'cause I've noticed his posts more and more the last few days.

Is there a way I can be logged in to two gmail accounts at the same time on the same computer?

Gmail allows you to "switch" accounts and it doesn't log you out if I remember correctly, I'm not entirely sure though since I only have 1 email, but you could give the "switch account" under your email address a try on the top right.
