Ahhhh... this reminds me of the time that Viacom threatened to pull their stations from Comcast if Comcast didn't start carrying their Logo channel... Cracks me up, but I'm sure you all will be fine. An agreement will be eventually reached and everything will be fine.

« on: December 31, 2008, 03:16:17 AM »I just watched the simpsons, the one when santa's little helper joined the police force and bart gets a boa constrictor? Well apparently the snake knocks over a beaker of ethanol and nitric acid, and I think to myself "I know that makes nitromethane, which is rocket fuel, but how can I turn that into a molecular formula?"It seems as though I was wrong.... I had help and we have come to this conclusion how the two (ethanol and nitric acid) can mix....
So I try to do it... But, I am having trouble figuring out what the coefficients are supposed to be and whether water is a byproduct.... Now, I know methanol and nitric acid turn into nitromethane and water... so wtf... This is bugging me and I was hoping someone might be able to help me figure this out....
Using Ethanol and Nitric Acid without a water byproduct:
__C2H6O + __HNO3 => __CH3NO2
Using Ethanol and Nitric Acid with a water byproduct:
__C2H6O + __HNO3 => __CH3NO2 + __H2O
Using Methanol and Nitric Acid:
CH3OH + HNO3 => CH3NO2 + H2O
with this, it makes sense that H2O comes out of the equation to make it all add up.
Maybe I'm diving in too deep with this... I don't know.
C2H6O + HNO3 + O2 => CH3NO2 + CO2 + 2H2O
You add oxygen so that the two can combust using a combustion reaction to create rocket fuel, carbon dioxide, and water.
It took us a few hours to figure this out. Man, I haven't taken Chemistry in a while. lol

jtmalnet (12:31:08 AM): whoa
jtmalnet (12:31:49 AM): nickelodeon just scrolled a message saying that Time Warner Cable and Brighthouse Networks cable customers were going to lose Nickelodeon and 18 other Viacom networks on January 1st....
They're gonna lose CBS channels, Nickelodeon, TV Land, MTV, VH1, etc.... this is interesting how cable channel carriage agreements are coming about...

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: Charter or Comcast?
« on: December 30, 2008, 09:44:29 PM »They'd probably keep the old star even if they take over.It all depends on maintenance and operation costs... If it cost sufficient in their budgets to go the router of an IntelliStar, then they will do that. That's what happened when Adelphia was bought out iirc.
