When I say copy the drive I mean literally copy the data content of the drive. That way you don't have to mess with the actual drive when trying to recover files. The program to do this in linux is called dd but I'm sure some version for windows exists. Just copy the entire drive image to a...

What file system is the drive using? If the file system is the only thing corrupted the file data is still there and you can possibly recover it just as if it was a deleted file. What kind of files are you looking to recover? I would recommend copying the contents of the drive using some...

The fact that the farther away we look the faster objects are moving only implies that farther objects are moving faster. That's how they got farther away. You can't infer if they are accelerating or decelerating from those statements. To tell if some object is changing velocity, you look at it...

People were just pointing out that your initial example of infinity being larger than another infinity was incorrect. While that is a true statement your example was of two sets that have the same cardinality. I'm not sure why, if you indeed understand all of this other stuff, haven't accepted...

The mapping function is y = 10x so 0.01 maps to 0.1. The classic example from set theory of two sets having the same cardinality is the natural numbers and the rational numbers. These sets map one to one in a slightly less obvious way than your examples but they have the same cardinality which...

It is a little difficult to answer this question without knowing exactly how low the voltage can be and still have the camera function. With such low voltage as 5V, you can get significant voltage drop in such a long run. You may want to consider getting the AC power closer to the camera. If...

This says it is resistant to lots of stuff including gasoline http://www.gore.com/en_xx/products/venting/automotive/chemical_resistance_PTFE.html

It really depends on the tablet, somehow it should sense it's own charger and try to draw the 2.5 amps. If you connect it to something else and it uses a standard usb connector, it should either only attempt to draw the usb standard 500mA or somehow it will also sense the 1A capacity of the...

If something has been compressed, it will have a near flat distribution of values(otherwise you could compress it again and achieve better compression). If something were compressed before encryption then it would maintain that flat distribution. If you are confident something is either...

Even if a telescope was optically perfect, what you are talking about is a magnification of something like 1,000,000X. While its probably very possible to make a lense combination that will achieve that, it also means if you want to see it you would need some sort of sensor that could achieve...

Light travels at the same exact speed(the speed of light) no matter who measures it or where it came from. This is the basis of all of special relativity.

In the materials frame of reference nothing will have changed, the mass of an object is the same with respect to itself no matter what. Unless of course its traveling at some speed with respect to itself, which is impossible. Another thing is, if an object is moving at some fraction of the speed...

This isn't that hard to calculate if you read my previous post, There is definitely an upper limit on the amount of CO2 a human could possibly produce while sleeping for 8 or so hours. I implied about a max of 246 grams of CO2 added to the room per person. For a pretty tiny room...

A decent power supply like the CX430 will turn itself off when you draw too much current from one of the rails. I believe it will stay off. You don't always get blue screens when a computer crashes from unstable overclocks. All sorts of things can happen, restarting wouldn't be an uncommon one...

A person expends about 2000 calories in a day so in a night about 667. Now most of that is received from sugar at about 4 calories per gram so about 167 grams. About 40% of that is actually carbon atoms so about 67 grams of carbon is released by a human in 8 hours. This means about 178 grams of...
