geography
I want to know the 10 largest states in the USA by land area; and with the list does it include the mountain and hill heights and lake or bay areas?
Antarctica
I asked a question earlier about un-explored regions of the Earth. The article on Anartica refers to lakes under the ice. Is possible to drill through the Ice and explore the Lakes submersively, and if possible how hard would this process be?
Expanding on StuRat's answer: yes, it is eminently possible to drill into the subglacial lakes -- in fact the Russians at Vostok Station had drilled to within 120 meters of the biggest one when they stopped, deliberately, to avoid contaminating the lake. The water in it is thought to have been undisturbed for at least half a million years, and to have oxygen levels 50 times higher than normal, and to perhaps support life -- and if there is life there, it'll be unlike anything we know. See our Lake Vostok article for more information. --Steve Summit (talk) 16:35, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
March of the Penguins
I saw this film recently and felt bad about the penguins having such a rough life trying to balance an egg on their feet in the cold and harsh winds. Couldn't humans build some sort of shelter to make the habitat more hospitable? We obviously know where to build it, we just need a design and someone to go down there during the summer to put it up. Maybe a pyramid or teepee design with entrances on one side so the wind will not blow through. Anything's better than what they have now.
- I recently read the distance they had to travel to get their food had increased because there was an additional piece of ice they had to pass. If there's anything we should be helping them with is to make sure they get to their food easily. 0- Mgm| (talk) 09:55, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
That was another type of penguin. It was so sad. I was always watching them nesting with the penguin-cam, then they suddenly abandoned their nests and took off. --Zeizmic 13:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
It seems like a very compassionate idea. I've seen peguins at zoos and aquariums, not bothered at all by the warm climate. Happy, active, playful. Why does everyone agree that nature ought to be harsh (even if it is). We humans make ourselves and our pets comfortable, don't we? I think the poster might have been talking about Emperor penguins. I think the males are the ones who incubate their children this way. But I seriously doubt that the peguins would see the advantage of shelter, and use it. Or would they? Hey, that's an idea! Posed as a research question, it could be done. Probably even funded. --Leah

what s the difference between the units joules and ergs?
Digestion of Key Lime Pie
Hmm...how long does it take to digest a piece of key lime pie? --HappyCamper 05:09, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Projectile motion
Does the direction of force of air resistance keep on changing as a projectile moves thru air? Is the path of the projectile still a parabola (as in the ideal situation of vacuum)?
Then how will the air resistance affect the direction of motion and its parabolic path?

StuRat 06:13, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, air resistance is a function of its velocity. Air resistance will cause its velocity in the x-direction to slow down to near zero. Force from air resistance will act against motion in the y-direction, and decrease the net acceleration in the downward direction. And yes, the path won't look entirely parabolic anymore. — The KMan talk 06:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
atomic structure
what is the role of neutron in an atom? explain it in detail.
thank you, mani

aerodynamic terms
what do the following terms mean? - velocity field - flow field - flow pressure - shear distribution
- Velocity field - velocities at certain points, over a given range, around an airfoil
- Flow field - representation of air flow moving around an airfoil
- Flow pressure - air pressure of the surrounding atmosphere (flow)
- Shear distribution - distribution of the shear stresses on the wing, perpendicular to its surface, due to the air flow moving around it. — The KMan talk 06:44, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Wikilink wait
Quite often, after clicking a wikilink, nothing happens. I wait ten seconds or so, then click again, and I am instantly taken the page I want. Is this normal? Is it a quirk of my PC, of the Internet, or of Wikipedia? --Shantavira 11:51, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Excel cell formatting
I have a very crowded table. How do I format a cell in Microsoft Excel so it only shows the lower two digits of a year? e.g. 1986 -> 86; 2003 -> 03. -- Toytoy 12:19, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Highlight the cells / column / row. Right click on them, and pick 'Format Cells'. Pick the 'Number' tab (the one on the top left), and you will be able to adjust the format of these cells. Go to 'Custom' (the bottom one of the list), and enter in yy as the format. If the cell displays a full date (such as 14th Feb 1998 or 02/14/1998) then you will need to experiment, trying things such as dd mmm yy or mm/dd/yy to get the correct formatting you require.

Light or dark clothes in hot climates
I feel very stupid asking this, but I can't seem to figure it out myself. In a hot climate with strong solar heating (eg a desert), does wearing light colours help to keep cool(er)? My first answer would be yes - light colours reflect more incoming light, so less is absorbed, ergo less heating of the clothes and therefore the body underneath it. But than I started thinking... what we perceive as colour is just absorption/reflection in the visible spectrum, how does colour match to absorption/reflection in other parts of the spectrum, specifically in this case, infrared?
Also, I remember being told in geography class that while light colours keep cool, very dark ones (ie black) do too, due to some effect with a layer of air being built up under the clothes (I am referring specifically to voluminous, all-covering clothes, not shorts and t-shirts). Is there any truth to this, or is my memory (or the teacher in question :)) just wrong? Thanks in advance! — QuantumEleven | (talk) 15:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Packets/Bytes interconversion
Greetings:
Below is a screenshot taken of my IEEE 1394 Firewire LAN connection.
However, the unit of measurement used is "packets" instead of "bytes".
I am wondering: is there anyway of changing the unit by which Windows measures thruput for this particular connection? I also have a regular Ethernet connection to the Internet on a different interface (a regular LAN NIC), and Windows reports that connection in units of bytes, so I am confused as to why Windows would measure connections differently if they all use the TCP/IP protocol.
Also, in the case where it's not possible to change the measurement unit. Could anyone tell me how to manually convert packets into bytes?

Installing Linux on old, crappy ThinkPad
I am in possession of an old IBM ThinkPad 770E. It has a Intel Pentium II Processor. It has two hard disks, both about 2.5GB. It has a working CD-ROM drive. It has USB ports, but I have had no success using those for anything. It does not have an ethernet port, so I cannot directly hook it up to the network. It does not have a working battery - it must be plugged in at all times or it shuts off immediately. It came installed with Windows NT 4.0. Then we installed Windows XP, and used that for a while. After a while, that became unusable with viruses, so we reformatted the hard drives and deleted Windows all together. Now the hard drives are empty. I have successfully gotten Puppy Linux and DSL to run off of Live CDs. I have been unable to install them to the hard drive, and I am not sure why. My other computer is an Apple eMac, running Panther. I installed a burner into it myself, but it has broken recently, so it will be difficult for me to burn any more CDs. I could if n
