U.S. Dollar Coins
Why does it seems like the United States government is so reluctant to put dollar coins into circulation? 10qwerty | (Talk) 07:45, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Dollar coins tend to cost more than a dollar to make. Plus American cash registers don't have any place to put them. RickK 08:14, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
Metric system in the United States
Why do the American people seem so reluctant to use the metric system? 10qwerty | (Talk) 07:37, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Inertia? Cost of conversion? RickK 08:16, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, also, the English system has its own advantages. The temperature scale, for example, is easier to deal with; Fahrenheit and Celsius are equally arbitrary, but Fahrenheit has finer resolution (180 increments between freezing and boiling), which means that one more often has to use decimals when describing conditions in Celsius, whereas about the only time we mention fractions of a degree in Fahrenheit is in the form 98.6 for the alleged "normal" body temperature -- and that's only because 98.6F happens to be 37C. I personally think having inches, feet, yards, and miles is more flexible, more human than meters and multiples of meters; this is hardly surprising, since all of those were defined in human terms, as opposed to the quite deliberately "pure reason" definition of the meter. What human has any personal relationship with some miniscule fraction of the earth's size? And of course, any Briton worth his salt will tell you that a liter of beer is too large, a demiliter of beer is too small, but a pint is exactly right. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 00:38, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- I thought the answer is obvious: The metric system was mostly devised in France. --Alexs letterbox 06:01, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- The US is more than capable of using the metric system when it has to. Try asking for a round of armor piercing ammunition to fit a pistol of calibre 3/8". -- GWO 13:46, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- I read that one reason was surveying, that American land titles refer to chains and rods and sections and whatnot and that it would be a big headache to change the whole country, which is built on the public land survey system. Personally, I like Alexis's theory. Napoleon himself said the metric system would fill people's heads with trivia. But Abraham J. Simpson said it best: "My car gets forty rods to the hogshead and that's the way I likes it!" 66.213.119.98 18:10, 19 May 2005 (UTC)
Association football in the United States
While Association football is probably one of the most popular sports in the world, how come it does not seem that much popular to the people in the United States? 10qwerty | (Talk) 08:01, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
We don't have Association football, we have soccer. :) Because, to the American psyche, it's too slow. Men in shorts run up and down a field for an hour and a half for a 1-0 score. This even though we'll sit to watch a 3 1/2 hour baseball game for a 1-0 score. :) RickK 08:13, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
Association football is actually extremely popular in the US as a participation sport—many people play it, but for some reason few like to watch it. JeremyA 18:20, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
rentrer
Could anyone elucidate me into the proper usage of when to use the words revenir, rentrer, retourner and whatever the other one is, with all their past participles in French language? I've never gotten it right, and I can't grasp my teacher's explanation too well. Merci --Wonderfool t(c)e) 14:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Left side v. right side of the road
Why do people in some countries drive on the left side of the road while people in other countries drive on the right side of the road? 10qwerty 16:53, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
i think cause the toilet goes in the other direction
Who are these celebrities?
(I know I posted something similar here yesterday but it must have gotten deleted.)
Anyway, who are the celebrities in those pictures? (http://tinypic.com/52j7e9) I know #3 is Britney Spears.. But the others I just can't figure out.
Economy of Nevada
What would have Nevada's economy been like if they never, ever legalized gambling? 10qwerty 17:10, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
editors of wikipedia
I was wondering who the executive editor of wikipedia was, because I am doing a reseach paper and I need to site my sources and I used one of the sites, so if you could tell me that would be great. Thanks.
How to request an article?
It wasn't very clear to me how to do request an article. I would like to see something on the philosopher Mary B. Hesse.
Another approach is to write the stub by bracketing the name of the article and writing enough of a sentence to make the subject clear. For example Mary Hesse. Then add a stub marker and with luck someone else will start fleshing it out. alteripse 18:20, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
Bluetooth and Serial Port Profile
In one hand, I'm holding a Tungsten T palm pilot. In the other, I've got a Bluetooth device that communicates via a Serial Port Profile. The question is: "Where can I find software that can allow me to communicate with the device via the palm?" Ideally, what I'd like to do is use a little program that can communicate with the device, read and save all the data that's coming back, and graph it. Any ideas? --HappyCamper 20:24, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Class of 2009 Profile
One of the universities publishes every year a profile of students in their class of rising freshmen... with statments such as Members of the class of 2009 have never been without personal computers and similar such statements. Anybody remember/know which institution publishes this list? I can't even remember the title... Thanks! --Chiacomo 20:51, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Total Request Live and The Lawrence Welk Show
I vaguely remember seeing a comment once on a TV forum on the Internet where a user wrote that The Lawrence Welk Show was that generation's Total Request Live. I have seen both shows and I fail to see any resemblance. Any thoughts? 10qwerty 21:33, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
mashburn mauseleom cemetary
where can I find the burial site for a Mashburn family member in the Hattiesburg, Mississippi, cemetary?
- Have you tried contacting someone in Hattiesburg? I doubt that the information would be in print anywhere. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:00, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Find A Grave might be useful. --Sum0 22:39, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
Black circles about the eyes due to lack of sleep
What causes them? Do they have a name? critically, do they have an article? :-)Datepalm17 21:07, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
Wow, thats excellent. I don't understand most of it (it's hormones. I can live with that :-)), but thank you...now to figure out how to add this to an article. Datepalm17 10:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
Man, just mention a few hormones and some people will buy anything. So why does't glucocorticoid treatment cause the mother of all black circles? Why don't people with Cushing's disease look like racoons? Whattabunchahooie! alteripse 22:24, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
Richard Nixon cronies
Why should only a small amount if indicator be used on a Acid-base titration?
Well, that. In the lab, we're always told to use 3-4 drops of indicator, no more or the apocalypse may occur. I'm sure there are some chemists around here, an answer would be greatly appreciated.--Fito 03:59, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
Circular sections
I've been trying to find out how to calculate the area of the shaded portion in this circle. I know the answer is 1/2, but I don't know how to solve for it. Any help would be appreciated, as I've had no progress over the last two months. Thanks. JMBell° 15:47, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
(The line running through the middle is a scanning error)
Maybe analytically: Start with the symmetric figure where one of your lines is the diameter and the area is obviously 1/2. Then look at the derivative as you shift the zigzag. — Sebastian (talk) 16:19, 2005 May 16 (UTC)
- How are the interneal angles characterized, if at all? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 21:30, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
- are the lines that look parallel, parallel? --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 05:49, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
I forgot to mention - the defined angles are all 45° and, yes, the lines are parallel. Aside from that, I do not know how to solve the problem. JMBell° 11:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
Did you try the approach i suggested? It should be quite simple, albeit a bit tedious. (Hint: The derivative has a wonderfully elegant geometric meaning.) — Sebastian (t
