hmmm, i understand moles and stuff like that... but this is actually quite weird. i have a project to do, i can do the work and everything like that... i'm just having trouble setting up the problem x___x
the question is
"if you placed a mole of skittles side by side, how many trips around the earth's equator could you make?"
i found out how many miles around the equator is ... and it's 24,901.55 miles and for the moles it's 6.02 x 20 to the 23rd power. i'm trying to find out the skittle's length or width however you say it, but i suck at measuring. but when i get all of the information... i still don't know how to set it up, help anyone?
It would be:
(AvogadroConstant*SkittleDiameter)/EarthCircumference=TimesAroundTheEarth
AvogadroConstant=6.022e23
SkittleDiameter=1.5cm
EarthCircumference=4007516000cm
1. (6.022e23*1.5)/4007516000=x
2. (9.033e23)/4007516000=x
3. 2.254014706367e14=x
4. The skittles could go around the earth about 225,401,470,636,700 times.
In step 1 we determine that the total length of a mole of skittles (using the Avogadro constant) is 9.033e23cm.
In step 2 we determine that 9.033e23cm will go around the earth's equator (4.007516e9) 2.254014706367e14 times.
In step 3 we state our answer.
In step 4 we convert our answer to a sentence, and (optionally) remove the scientific notation.

I have a PSP slim. I know how to play games. My problem is since PSP UMD/CD is expensive, I tried download games but it never work, I tried putting games on different PSP folder. Sometimes it says "There are no games" or "corrupted file". So I think something is wrong on where I put my folder or the game file, or the game is not compatible because of the firmware, or the downloaded game file is incomplete, or I cannot meet the game's requirements. Got any advice or answers to my questions?
Well I have series of question
1. Where can I download free games for PSP? (no sign up & no payment)
2.) How and Where do I put it on PSP? which PSP file folder
(since in some PSP, some folder are not their yet, so please indicate where that folder should be put/ located)
3.) In firmware : Is 3.72 the same w/ 3.72m33?
4.) What's a custom firmware?
5.) If my firmware is 3.72 can I download games w/ a requirement HIGHER or LOWER than my firmware? (answer whether HIGHER or LOWER)
If you got more advice about this feel free say it, I might need it.
I don't know much about PSP. I know how to play games and How to use it. But about downloading games and putting it on the PSP, and about requirements or firmwares, that I don't know.
Thanks for the help, pls answer useful details, no insults or unnecessary comments.
To play downloadable games on your PSP, you must replace the PSP's firmware with unofficial custom firmware. This will void your warranty. There is also a small chance that you could irreversibly break your PSP's firmware, rendering it useless. Using custom firmware is not illegal, but Sony will view you as a filthy pirate if you do so.
1.
2. Read the documentation that comes with your custom firmware.
3. No. m33 is a type of custom firmware, the most popular.
4. See first paragraph
5. If you have a custom firmware of version 3.72, then you should be able to run most downloadable content which requires a version LOWER than that. You will not be able to run ANY downloadable content with the official 3.5+ version. If you had a version below 2.0, then you would be able to run some homebrew content without using custom firmware. I'm not sure if it's possible to downgrade from 3.x to 2.x or 1.x on a slim PSP, and I don't recommend it.
To unlock your PSP so that you can freely use any custom firmware, you must obtain and use a Pandora's battery and Magic memory stick. I recommend you buy them online. It's also possible to create them yourself from an old PSP battery and a regular memory stick, but I do not recommend that. The risk of ruining your PSP is higher, and in the end it's probably more expensive.
Make sure that the Pandora's battery and Magic memory stick are compatible with your slim PSP. Some are not. Here is a kit for sale that claims to be compatible with the slim PSP:

hey i am taking a survey on which president that people altogether wanted.
If you dont want to answer its fine, but if you do, it is greatly appreaciated!!
thanks, so the question is Which president would you like, Obama, or McCain?
This question was already asked today, and answered by a large number of people:
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=552194
[view]
I was just curious to know, who you want to win the election '08?
My mom and i want obama, but literally the rest of my family wants mccain. I just would like to see how many people want obama, and how many want mccain.
All answers will help :]
Thanks!
I don't like either of them, but I think Obama is the lesser evil.
McCain has absolutely no chance of winning at this point. Obama is guaranteed the presidency, and he will win by a significant margin.

I saw another of your answers, quote: "....take the unicode number, put an &#x in front of it and an ; at the end of it. The unicode number of a musical note is U+2669, so its html entity is ♩." I found a chart of miscellaneous symbols and Unicode but when I type that into MySpace it appears just like I type it; instead of a leo symbol it says "♌" Am I typing it wrong? Why doesn't it work? Would appreciate any advice, there are some neat symbols out there. Thanks!
You created the HTML entity correctly, but Myspace doesn't allow numerical HTML entities anymore. Or maybe I didn't check when I wrote that answer (I've updated it).
Generally, where HTML entities don't work, direct input will. There isn't an alt code for leo, so you'll have to use the tried-and-true method of copy/paste. You can do so from the bottom of this answer when you view it here:
http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=theymos&mode=qview&q=552181
You could also use the character map in Start -> all programs -> accessories -> system tools -> character map.
Thanks for asking. I'm glad that my answers are useful to more than just the people who asked them.

I have a friend who has an ipod but she is unable to download itunes onto her computer. So is there a way to transfer songs from like a folder to your ipod? Sort of like how a regular MP3 works.
Unfortunately, that is not possible. Software is always required to transfer songs to an iPod. You can't just drag and drop like you can with every other mp3 player.
It's possible to use the iPod without iTunes, but you must use iTunes at least once to make some changes. If you can't use iTunes at least once, then the iPod is as useful as a brick.
If you can use iTunes at least once (from a different computer, perhaps), do everything in the "requirements" section here:
http://www.floola.com/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=docs_install
Copy one song (it need not be bought it the iTunes store) and follow the three manual steps.
If your friend borrows someone else's computer to do the above steps, it is vital that the computer doesn't already have iTunes installed. If it does, iTunes will synchronize the iPod and both people will probably end up losing a significant amount of data.
After that, you can uninstall iTunes and never use it again, on any computer. Here are some alternatives:

I recommend Floola:

so I am doing a project on the election in school, I need to explain one crucial state in the election and a swing state. Any good idea for that?
I was thinking PA for the important state and indiana for the swing state, is that good?
thanks, Jamie
I would pick Florida for important state and Ohio for swing state. They both have a large number of electoral votes, and they're both somewhat divided in the polls (though Obama leads significantly in both). Ohio also has a notable history of being a swing state.
Indiana is fine, but I wouldn't pick PA, Obama is guaranteed their votes. If you want to pick a state that Obama will undoubtedly win, choose California, they have a massive 55 electoral votes.

I am wanting to save a video from God Tube to my Computer or even a flash drive would be better.
How do I do so?
Thanks in advance.
Use Zamzar:
http://zamzar.com/url/
For step 1, enter the GodTube URL. For step 2, choose avi (or any of the other video formats), for step 3, enter your email. Zamzar will email you the ripped GodTube video in about 10 minutes. They will not send you spam.
A valid GodTube URL will look something like this, but with a different view key:
www.godtube.com/view_video.php?viewkey=cafb93ec1240f75f5109
You must also include http:// at the beginning of the URL.

okay i get charley horses alomst every week and its pretty much always at night. you see, what happens is while im sleeping all of a sudden my left leg will get it extremely bad for about five minutes. i try to rub it but it doesnt haelp because the muscle is so hard. then its immediatly switches to the other leg for 5 minutes and i do the same thing and it doesnt help. i try to walk it off but i end up collapsing. and then the WHOLE next day my calfs will hurt. i drink plenty of water. about 5 regular bottles a day. i always stretch before i work out. and i eat a lot of bananas. (cuz there my favorite fruit).
but i dont know what to do it hurts so bad!!
help?
To summarize the search results: those leg cramps are pretty common in teenagers. They will reduce in frequency as you get older. If you don't already, take a multivitamin every day. If that doesn't help, see a doctor.

i know this is in the wrong topic, but i couldn't find one about cameras.
well, my camera was recently stolen, but i got it back. the thing is, they deleted all my pictures off my memory card. i was wondering if there is any way i could get them back? the camera is a Casio 10.1 mega pixels exilim. if i take it to a place, can they receive them for me somehow?
please please please help me.
i'm really upset about losing my pictures.
thanks
Sorry, no. A backup isn't automatically created. You can try using recuva on the drive to recover the deleted pictures, but the chance of success on a flash drive is low:

If recuva can't recover the images, then they are probably lost for good. :(

I have a mail.com email account. I want to set up all my email accounts to go into one thing (like Mozilla Thunderbird). How can I do that?
It says that the server is incorrect. Shouldn't it be mail.mail.com?
Please someone give me a step by step of how to do this.
Thanks in advance.
Mail.com only provides POP3 for premium accounts. If you have a premium account, the server is pop1.mail.com. They don't provide an SMTP server, so you'll have to use your ISP's.
If you don't have a premium account, you can use this Thunderbird extension to send and receive mail from mail.com:
http://webmail.mozdev.org/
Read the instructions carefully. This extension is a bit difficult to use.

ok well i have a ? about how to make a custom firmware psp. well here it is is it possible to make a cfw psp without another psp i have the pandora battery and i think all i need is the right files cause all i get when i turn it on is a blank screen but the light is on I have right now OFW 4.05 and i just need to buy a new battery to do the rest and the files please tell me if this is possible cause a lot of people on other forums are saying that it is possible. and can you give me a link to the website that has the files to put on my memory card so i can boot up my psp.
Your PSP is bricked. To unbrick it, you must have a pandora's battery and a compatible magic memory stick. You can buy both online, or you could create them.
To create a pandora's battery, follow Process 1 in this guide:
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/579292
You must use an old battery, though I don't know how old. It'd probably be safer to buy this online.
To create a magic memory stick, obtain a memory stick reader for your PC, a blank memory stick, and then use this utility:
http://dl.qj.net/Rain-s-Simple-MMS-Maker-v1.0-PSP-Homebrew-Applications/pg/12/fid/23522/catid/151
An additional PSP is not necessary, but you do need a memory stick reader. Alternatively, you could also create the MMS from another PSP with custom firmware.

hey, anybody have the game "Universe at War"?
i lost my cd-key, and can't find it, now it won't let me install the game...
any help would be awesome...
Thanks!!
It's illegal to post CD keys because they are used to circumvent DRM. Here are some options:
-Contact the Universe at War support and see if they'll give you another key
-Buy another copy of the game
-Download a keygen to generate a key. It's not illegal to use a keygen, but it might be illegal for me to link you to one, so I won't. You'll have to find it yourself. Beware of viruses.
-Download a cracked version of Universe at war. Even though you own the game, it's probably illegal for you to download it using P2P.

I'm doing a project for Biology. I have to calculate how much 6 people would comsume/produce for waste and such.
I need to calculate:
Food consumption
Waste Production
Oxygen Consumption
Carbon Dioxide Production.
I need to find how much of the above things 6 people would need for 3 years.
I need websites for the calculators.
THANKS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_support_system
From that page:
A crewmember of typical size requires approximately 5 kg (total) of food, water, and oxygen per day to perform the standard activities on a space mission, and outputs a similar amount in the form of waste solids, waste liquids, and carbon dioxide.[2] The mass breakdown of these metabolic parameters is as follows: 0.84 kg of oxygen, 0.62 kg of food, and 3.52 kg of water consumed, converted through the body's physiological processes to 0.11 kg of solid wastes, 3.87 kg of liquid wastes, and 1.00 kg of carbon dioxide produced.

so ive been trying to eat healthier lately, mostly whole foods and what not, but i still get that sweet tooth every now and then and just have to have some chocolate! i try not to eat much sugar because it makes me breakout & its obviously unnhealthy, but sometimes i just need some chocolate! ive recently discovered these dark chocolate bars taht ar 88% cocoa, and on the back the ingredients are cocoa, unbleached water-filtered beet sugar and vanilla. and i think soy lecithin or something. what is unbleached water-filtered beet sugar?! is that good sugar or bad sugar? im just curious cause i heard dark chocolate and cocoa is good for you so i thought these bars were pretty good & settled me sweet tooth but i dont want the bad sugar! soooooo what is it!?
Beet sugar is almost identical to table sugar. They can both be called sucrose, and they have the same nutritional facts. If you're trying to avoid sugar, then you should also avoid beet sugar. It's not any healthier for you.
Dark chocolate isn't much better than milk chocolate. It's often very high in saturated fats and calories.

Ok, so you all know how on the news it will say something like:
Gold is up $2.00
Oil is down $0.50
and stuff like that, well I was wondering what is "Dow Jones" because I see that on the news and I don't know anyone who knows what Dow Jones are...
The Dow Jones Industrial Average is based on the average stock price of 30 companies considered representative of the market. Generally, if the Dow goes up, everyone makes money. If it goes down, everyone loses money.
The NASDAQ Composite and the S&P 500 are similar.
