    Question about 50-60 inch LED / Plasma TVs

    I currently have a 40-in Sharp LCD Aquos (5 years old) and I want to upgrade to a 50-in or 60-in LED or Plasma TV. My 40-in Sharp has a very clear picture when using the HDMI inputs.

    Can military naval vessels easily survive any hurricane/typhoon?

    Russ, thanks for the reply. Also, can large oil tankers and container ships easily survive any type of hurricane or typhoon? For both types of ships it would seem that they would be in more danger when fully loaded -- is this true?

    Since the Sun is losing mass, can a planet's orbit change be measured?

    Since the Sun is changing 4M tons of matter into energy every second and that energy eventually makes its way to the surface and is emitted as an outbound sphere of EM radiation, then the planets' orbits would change over time due to the less massive Sun at the solar system's core. It would...

    What color of LED light to use for display of minerals? Cool or warm?

    I'm going to display my rock and mineral collection in glass door cabinets in the living room. I've found some LED under-the-counter lights, 21 small LED lights per 2-ft string. I plan to use one of the strings for each shelf. They come in two "colors", warm and cool. Sorry, they don't...
