there a way to use it for something else? I've heard of people "jailbreaking" phones and such in order to use them on systems other than the one normally included with it. I bought a Verizon Nextel wireless broadband modem a year or two ago, but have since ended the account since their version...

...resolution scope? When the satellites observing the sun are on opposite side of it and Earth is 90 degrees from both, they could all three focus on a target other than the sun. If they were to do this, would this be phenomenal resolution? Or would there need to be a few other telescopes...

and transform others? I am only beginning to learn about the terminology of Buddhism - I can't "call" myself a "Buddhist" per se, but the nature of Buddhism is my own nature, a fact I find the more I get to know of it. I am now curious about the realities referred to by the tern "bodhicitta" -...

anywhere? I am curious about the number of individuals who had been in the Nazi death camps as prisoners and who are still alive today. Is there any sort of record kept on this particular population? :-? (edit: ...and please, no holocaust denier flames - you're not going to convince anyone who...

...have a name? Assume for the sake of argument that the other people are the ones generating the hallucination, but you can see it - it's not generated by your own mind. Is there a name for this mythical mystical ability?

it for something else? I've heard of people "jailbreaking" phones and such in order to use them on systems other than the one normally included with it. I bought a Verizon Nextel wireless broadband modem a year or two ago, but have since ended the account since their version of "unlimited use...

By "filament", I'm referring to some of the large, web-like structures, the lines of which seem to be where most galaxies form. Looking at the entire cosmological map as it presently exists, the filaments convey a "cluster of bubbles" appearance to the cosmos in general. What I'm wondering is...

...How can I legally do this? I have a fascination with anatomy and have always wanted my very own personal "skeleton" to look at and study from time to time, perhaps basing some drawings/other artwork on posing it and just to all-around appreciate the complexity of the human skeletal system. I...

...find a minimal energy alternative? Suppose some alignment or another ended up slowly flinging Earth out into interstellar space, and it happened in a way that didn't cause the immediate collapse of civilization (i.e., it wasn't very high-energy in terms of geological effects - our cities...

...pregnant as women? Seriously - I suspect if the pregnant member of the relationship could go either way, there'd be a LOT less sex. Not only that, but I'd also bet pickles & ice cream would be on every menu, and day care would be an assumed benefit. Not only that, but I also bet pain...

bestiality/zoophilia? Assume for the sake of discussion that E.T. is our intellectual/social/moral equal - i.e., no concerns that they might be somehow "innocent" in some way that dishonest humans could exploit. So intellectually, it would be an equal relationship between individuals who pair...

...by mouse" neatest & easiest? My tablet/stylus gave out, so until I can afford a replacement, I need to be able to draw by mouse. Anyone who's ever tried doing any really meaningful sketching with a mouse knows it's not nearly so easy as if you can do it with a pencil or pencil-like stylus...

I do believe that hauntings and such can occur, but I've learned enough of the Amityville case and the Defeo murders to have drawn quite a different conclusion about the place. If you believe the haunting claims, that's fine, I have no problem or beef with you over it, I just don't buy it and we...

...(nerves,ganglia, brains, etc...)? I have some ideas about how organisms we consider to be plants might be able to evolve a functioning neural system. I don't want to cover already-covered ground, however. I've looked, but the notion is so esoteric & obscure that I doubted it would be likely...

...radioastronomy techniques? To detect an exomoon, do we need to study the wobble of the planet around which it orbits? If so, what's the smallest exoplanet wobble we can detect?

It's not easy being more mature than most of those in the same age group as yourself. There's something to be said for living through a few "wild & stupid" years before settling down into adulthood. I was just like you when I was your age. One thing I've found out: Being mature and growing up...

...some stars based on criteria? Does such a program exist? I have & use Celestia, but the most it's capable of is eliminating stars of a certain luminosity or beyond a certain range. A searchable graphic representation of the stars where stars you're not looking for can be removed would be...

Or is one pretty much limited to describing a single "sud" as a "bubble"?

...but I can't find it here? Note quantization is where the computer lengthens or shortens the notes to trim off any excess tone that played longer than the note had been intended to, and it lines the note up right where it should be as if it were on sheet music, so all the notes in all the...
