says there are 10 quintillion insects alive. lets pretend there are 6.8 billion humans alive, that means there are 1 470 588 235 insects per human. so lets say 100 insects weigh 1 gram all together. then lets say your average human is 200 pounds. according to all the above numbers, insects would weigh about 162x as much as humans

I have a Logitech Z-5500 system, I want to have both my PC and my PS3 connected at the same time. The problem is that the RCA cables are extremely short and I need to find a solution for that.
These are my options:
The optical is taken. Which slot would be easiest and cheapest to fill with a long (5m+) cable?

What kind of flowers are appropriate to give a girl you haven't seen in a year and haven't spoken to in six months? Keep in mind you loved her once, and still do.

With a digital camera...yes. Certain colors that exist in real life cannot be displayed in a digital format.dudeworld said:

I use the JanSport Wasabi.zoner said:
It doesn't have a million slots, but it has one large pocket (9x12 and bigger), one medium pocket (easily folder sized), and one smaller pocket (5x8 or a little bigger). It also has a zipper near the handle on top that is a perfect size for storing tons of pencils/pens/whatever. The middle pocket has a few compartments on the wall facing the larger pocket, which I use to store additional pencils (I have a lot). There's also a little mesh-like compartment on the side for a water bottle, and the backpack is water proof. You can honestly fit a LOT of stuff in the backpack, and I did it all through school.
I had one almost exactly like this (sans water-proof) that lasted me easily 6/7 years through highschool and college. Only reason I got rid of it for this new one a few months ago was because the zipper was messed up from me zipping it while holding it in the air by the zipper. I gave it a viking funeral.

What happens if someone with leukemia doesn't get treatment, and just lets it progress? It's for a story, so any little detail helps.

Well... yeah... but how long does it take? Does it hurt?CHEEZMO said:

Both of those things depend on a bunch different factors, like the type of leukaemia, and are therefore not necessarily consistent from case to case. It would most likely cause pain at some point.Chef Cat said:

I need help identifying the grammatical term that accounts for the bolded portion of this sentence:
"...and plain-leather Shoes; but yet they are what they call Spanish Leather"
I want to call it a "qualifier," but I don't think that's right. Knowing what to call it will make my essay a hell of a lot better, so any help is greatly appreciated.

I think you'd be safe in calling that a relative clause. More generally you could just call it a subordinate clause.Jimmy Stav said:

Thank you! That was precisely what I needed.
edit: I'm going with "relative clause," to be clear.

There was this website, really nice interactive one, that had statistics on air plane disasters and the like? Like which seat on the airplane are you most likely to survive in, which airline has the highest percent of fatal crashes, etc.?
Why do download slow their speeds at the end?
Preloading Rage gave me a solid 1.3MB/s for the whole 21GB of it.
Get to 30MB left and it slows down to 250KB/s.
I've noticed this happen on torrents but I assumed it was to encourage seeding.
However I've seen this slowdown occur on other direct downloads too and I can't figure out why.
Do servers dynamically change priorities or something or is it overestimating previous speeds kind of like Windows and copying on USB.

Who wants to give me a suggestion of a good book or website to learn about computer graphics and hardware.
I want to know stuff like what does a gpu and or cpu do per cycle. What is the difference between the different types of shaders (I think one type is for geometry, and the other is for "effects", right? I want more in-depth than that). I want to know what people are talking about when they talk about rasterization, and how that is different from other techniques. I want to know how textures work and how the gpu utilizes RAM. I want to know how max theoretical polygon counts and GFLOPS are calculated.

Thanks, but when i entered my IP address into google chrome it gives me not found.Jzero15 said:
But i went to Control Panel--> network and sharing. My password protected sharing is on. Does that mean that they can´t get into my network.

What type of router do you have? each router has a different ip that you need to use, for my model it's : 192.168.2.1 and you need to search for the right ip for you. if you want to check if your wifi is protected connect through a gaming console or a laptop and see if it say's: WEP, WPA, WPA2 and that way you'll know if you are secured.Beam said:

Thank you very much guys. I can´t find the paper that says my router IP so i will contact my internet provider tomorrow. Thank you for your help.Jzero15 said:
How good is Supernatural? Been thinking of watching it, is there a "why does this season exist" season? Comparable quality to The Wire, Sopranos, Breaking Bad?
Need a new TV show to watch since Breaking Bad is finishing and S5 of Dexter turned me off from the show completely so I'm not interested in S6.

I've been thinking about vampire legends from around the world lately, and I recall in my youth reading something about a country (I want to say Greece, but very possibly am wrong) that had some women who miscarried during pregnancy become vampires.
I don't recall if it was just women who committed suicide after a miscarriage who became vampires, but I recall thinking it was kinda funny that losing a child in pregnancy would somehow turn you into some sort of evil, immortal killing machine. Sort of like in Ghost movies when the second a normal person dies in a tragic way they become horrible monsters that hate the living.
Anyways, the really cool thing about these vampires (and the thing which may help someone in leading me to more information) is that they existed entirely as bloody heads trailing their still-attached guts behind them and preying on children.
I'd really appreciate any leads because I really loved the design and idea behind this particular type of vampire.

Do you guys know of a way to lighten up skin rashes? Let me explain. On occasion I run 2-6 miles and in some instances I developed skin rashes in my thighs due to the friction that my skin made with my underwear (hurt like a bitch). Now the rashes are healed but the skin is darker. What can I do to make the skin have it's natural colour back?
