  1. I also like gMail, however, I have had a few problems with emails being 'misplaced'. Personally, I would suggest it above any of the free email providers. (I like the new themes too... ninjas - for the win!)
  2. I will assume you can read my name (it's off on the left), I am 17, I spend lots of time on the computer and usually am either in java or css (either counter-strike or cascading style sheets, take your pick). I am a robot ninja. My favorite video game is Assassin's Creed, and there are only about 3 people who know me well enough to know that when I say I will kidnap you in your sleep and kill you slowly if you make me angry, I am telling the truth (but don't worry, that's only happened twice ( ) and never on the internet )
  3. My favorite is Lord of War. I didn't much like the actors though (didn't not like them either, just could have had better).
  4. Okay, I have noticed a few questions here that haven't been answered so here goes: (note, I am not an expert, but I did just complete my 'gravity' unit in physics last week, so I would consider myself... informed) What would the gravity be, if we were like.. really near the earth's core? Every way. Any one atom exerts some (very little) force on every other atom. If you were in the center of the Earth, you would feel weightless because you would be pulled equally in every direction. That said, the pressure of everything else around you would easily crush you, so I don't suggest trying it (at least, not without a protective suit). To actually answer the question: NO NO NO NO NO! Gravity is NOT 9.8226. The force of gravity (g) on Earth is -9.8226 (- because it is 'down' - towards the center). Gravity (G - the universal gravity constant) is (about) 6.674 x 10^-11 m^3/kgs^2 (about .00000000006674 cubic meters per kilogram seconds squared). The force you feel due to gravity (already defined as 'g' - see above) is equal to G(m1m2)/(r^2) In other words gravity = G(mass_of_object_1 * mass_of_object_2)/(radius_Squared) Therefore, if you are in the center of the Earth, you would be at a radius of 0, so the answer would be undefined (cannot divide by 0). If you were simply closer to the center (say, .01 meters from the center) you would feel more gravity: This: 6.6 x 10^-11(m1m2)/(.01^2) instead of: 6.6 x 10^-11(m1m2)/((6.3781 x 10^6)^2) As you can imagine, dividing by a number less then 1/100000000 of normal would yield a significantly higher number. Jumping = death/hurt? Due to the conservation of energy, you would hit the ground with exactly the same speed as you jumped with (disregarding air resistance/terminal velocity). It would hurt you no more to fall, then it did to jump in the first place. (Sorry about yelling)
