    Why is Pluto not considered a major planet, and what other peculiarity

    Pluto is still a planet. Just a particular type of planet. The word "dwarf" is an adjective; we add the qualifier "dwarf" to the noun "planet", specifying the sub-categorization. Its like saying "gas giants" are still planets. People that say Pluto isnt a planet might as well say Jupiter isnt...

    Forensics: photography and astronomy. Someone posted this picture...?

    http://www.flickr.com/photos/bradchiplin/5627296852/ I was wondering, can you determine any information about the observation location or time? The star pattern determines orientation. Orientation coupled with sunrise/sunset and key stars might determine azimuthal direction. The altitudes of...

    Is there a direct correlation between between intelligence & education?

    No. Not really. Intelligent people must learn. And learning requires conceptualization, memory, and exposure. One does not need to attend a school to learn or be educated or be intelligent. But one does need to expose themselves to ideas and concepts, to understand them and to remember them...

    How could a person in ancient times, without the excuse of science or

    Atheism and science have nothing to do with one another. There are atheists that dont know jack about science, and there are PhD's who go to church. So intellect, rationality, and science have no baring on faith. There are a lot of atheists now who fall back on science, sure, but most of them...

    There is a social networking game for a cell phone. Strangers sign up, and when they

    are near one another? they receive a text message letting them know, so they can meet. What is the name of this application/game? Is this system still available? I believe I saw it on a television series or movie, originally, a year ago. I looked into it then and verified it was real, but I...

    Is there a program/way to detect wifi connections too far to connect to, and to know

    what direction to go? The only windows program I can find online is free, but its called Easy Wifi Radar. The program does not work on windows 7, everyone knows it. There is no comparable program that is compatible. More than that, though, I dont have confirmation that the program actually...

    Office 2010 Uninstall: "the language of this installation package is not...

    ...supported by your system"? How do I uninstall Office 2010? I downloaded the trial version from the official Microsoft Office website. Excel works well, I love the improvements. But I cant get Access and other programs to work. So I decided to uninstall it and revert to 2007, while I wait...

    Why do so many people in this society get shamelessness confused for pride/dignity?

    Great. Did I post in that time of the day where India is awake?

    The fact people cant function morally on their own is proof we need law and

    religion to dictate morality to us? Discuss. I am making note of the wikileaks controversy, actually. I dont think those people at wikileaks should be prosecuted or persecuted, or be forced on the run and certainly not be treated like a terrorist. They likely did nothing legally wrong. We...

    ...gender be charged w/ hate c? crime? I seriously believe that anyone who lies and deceives someone, violates their trust for selfish sexual needs, deserves their asss beat... whether youre lying to someone about your relationship intentions or lying about your true gender, isnt the victim the...

    Should a man put up with a womans games? Does she play to test a mans resolve,

    determination? Personally I am quite turned off by the game she is playing. I am losing interest. What should I do? Drop her as just another piece of female trash in this society? Should I tell her I dont play games? Is she afraid to just tell me off? Or perhaps she is scared to admit a...

    WWII: Had war not broken out in Europe, would Japan have still attacked?

    Im just wondering how cowardly the Japanese are. Did they really need to attack us while we were distracted, backs turned and resources divided? Were the Japanese allied with the Germans?
