Sorry Dave, was busy over the weekend. This is about 90% of the board. Also, I never got an email notifying me of the other replies, so I didn't bother to check. I'll get a full pic of the board when I get home from work today.

I have a Casio FH-20 camera. I tried looking for a schematic to no avail. Everything in the camera works fine except that it will no longer remember the date/time when the batteries are removed. I figured there was a lithium battery in the camera that went dead (it's about 8 years old, I...

Is it really that "constant", however? If so, how would things such Cambrian explosion occur?

Watch the original Cosmos series and Sagan talks about that experiment by Erasthothanes. I *think* it was in the first episode, but I could be mistaken.

Geez, I forgot about this post. Thanks for the input!

I think the only fair way to do this would be average weight loss PERCENTAGE per person. Much easier to drop 20 lbs when you weigh 300 rather than 200.

I think a few people are missing the point of the OPs question. The "Facebook" generation don't have a clue about Einstein, or relativity, or muons... Need simpler facts that they can understand.

It also depends if the OP is talking about a single stock, or diversifying using the market as another investment, and diversifying in the stock market itself with mutual funds. Buying a single stock is gambling, buying the right investments is sound strategy (IMO). Remember, your 401K is...

Um, it's a syndicated article, not a Fox News Article. I always find it amusing when those who are supposedly committed to objective thinking jump to conclusions because of their own bias! Carry on!

I doubt they got there without any help, so "standing by themselves" isn't quite accurate ;-)
