it is infectious as AIDS is described as a non-infectious disease.
you either have infectious pathogens or non-infectious.
and this is why it is infectious and not contagious

The only douche is YOU. You listen to an audio representation of the data that's stored in MP3, so you ARE listening to an MP3, whether it's through an MP3 player or otherwise.
i had that in my mind after that guy said "its a mp3 format not mp3 player"
i thought "Its a mp3 format song your listening to"
i cbf saying that, but lol u said it be4 me

maybe we are all listening to mp3 files, and they just left that part out! however, i don't think mp3 is a noun, it's more of an adjective.

I wrote they controlled the people's fitness and used a large sample.
Oh, i wrote the large number of people were used and the average timing suggested there was a use of repetition in the experiment for accuracy and reliabilty. is that right?

The question never said MP3 file, it used the term 'MP3' to describe the music player. Also, I listen to FLACs. Douche.

haha are you for real?

Mp3 is the name of a file format, hence, Noun. It's not descriptive in anyway what so ever, unless you're a nerd who appreciates the encoding of Movie Pictures Expert Group - 3.

Rock on /b/tard.

The term mp3 is accepted in common usage, so get over it and keep working towards puberty.

There was a question that asked something about hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, what did you guys put? I put chlorine. I'm not sure if it's right though.

All common acids contain hydrogen.

Hydrochloric Acid = HCl
Sulfuric Acid = H2SO4

The common things are Hydrogen.

While on the topic of MP3's in reality i think dB capping is useless. I use Sennheiser CX300s with my ipod and a lot of other people use non-stock inears or headphones aswell, if they cap it at 80 dB we would still be able to go higher with good earphones. It works in the opposite aswell, people with shit $2 earphones after there ipod ones broke/got lost wont be able to get the sound as high as they should be able to.

i just did five issues with alternative energy, pro and con, and then made a judgement with criteria - hope that makes seven marks

i found the flow chart hard too - i saw it in the reading time and had no idea what to write, i think i got close in the end, hopefully

Stuff like big bang, gravity and evolution are theories because there's no proof, just evidence that strongly supports it. Gravity however is accepted as the truth since there's nothing in the bible against it.[/quote

Gravity is a law because you can do tests to measure gravity and perform experiments to verrify its existance.

big bang and evolution are theorys because there is no way to replicate what happened and therefor no way to verify what really happened.

scientific models or laws are those that are tested and true and explain all phenomena regarding whatever.

theories are theories because they are not definite.
