Each page builds at a very slow rate. For instance, their home page will put up the border with their name and some info, then catagory tabs (Ammo, Optics, etc.) then maybe some product manufacturers and so on. I can sort of shortcut this a bit by not letting the page complete and picking a...

Sorry about the confusion. Every page at Midway is slow - it takes about 5 times as long to bring up their homepage and every other page thereafter compared to the XP system. TK

Midwayusa.com Thanks TK

I have a desktop system running Vista, my wife has a laptop running Vista, and she also has a desktop with XP. All systems are using the same router and DSL modem and most surfing seems normal. When I go to Newegg and look up a hard drive it takes about 30 seconds to get to the page I want on...

glugglug - That answers the number question (equation). Now I want to see "feel?" which combinations won't work. Why (3^8-1 and 2^12-1)/2, Good link, thanks.

phisrow - Thanks for the reading material.

smack down - as each piece is unique, I don't see how there can be any similar positions. confused - I have had 2 or 3 cubes over the years, and each came with a small booklet that tells how to flip and position all the pieces for the solution (brute force). Jaepheth - I would like to...

Standard cube - pamphlet says about 43 quintillion, seemed like a lot! I attempted to calculate and came up with even more - 519 quintillion. Seems like a fairly simple (4 part) equation: fact. 8 (for corner locations) X fact. 12 (for edge locations) X 3^8 (for corner colors) X 2^12 (for edge...

I surrender ya'll. Thanks for all the responces anyway. TK

itachi' I can't prove any of the things I am asking about - that's why I am asking. I believe the speed of a sound is "known" and accepted by most, but I have heard different speeds referred to about other "waves?", and that is what I would like some proof of. TK

ahurtt, The amount of water displaced by an event probably has an effect on how far away the the disturbance is felt, but I can't see why it would affect the speed of propagation. The velocity of the event might determine the speed of propagation (I don't see that either - that is why I...

MetalStorm, You did misunderstand my question (or I once again didn't make it very clear - I do that a lot). What I keep trying to ask is: What is different that two separate events, one relatively small - one relatively large both cause sound to travel at the same speed, but the large one...

itachi, If the speed of propagation of a travelling wave thru a medium is the speed of sound thru that medium, then, what KIND of wave (composition of the wave) is the tsunami that it travels at not only less than the speed of sound, but might travel at a different speed than another tsunami...

So, if a submarine is in deep ocean and someone inside hits the hull with a wrench, a sound "wave" will be generated that travels from that point at something more than 4800 fps. If that someone then sets off a stick of dynamite that tears apart the hull, a big sound will be generated that will...

Cyclo Wizard - you refer to the speed of a disturbance from an impulse in a medium (water) as slowing per 1/r^2, but then you say that sound travels the same way (I think). But sound does not slow down, it just gets weaker with distance. This is part of my problem! The magnitude of the...
