Tips On Lighting Thermite

If you're a regular reader of science magazines, you've likely at one point attempted to blow something up. Well, have I got the material for you. Thermite is a mixture of aluminum and iron oxide that when mixed correctly can melt carbon steel. Setting it off can be a bit dangerous, so think before you set it on fire. To achieve ignition you need something really hot, and magnesium ribbon is just that. Put a stick of magnesium in the pile of thermite you LEGALLY obtained, light its tip on fire, and MOVE. Congratulations! You just put a hole in whatever you put the thermite on. Maybe you should put it on sand next time.

Snake on Youtube/Gmail

Just some advice for people who get bored waiting for a buffering video, you can play Snake on Youtube Videos and in Gmail. On Youtube, all you have to do is pause the video, hold down the left arrow, and then press the up arrow. This should cause snake to pop up on your video, though it might be hard to see. This is pretty fun to do if your video is buffering, or you're just bored. In Gmail, all you have to do is enable a google labs called Old Snakey. Then you just hit Ampersand on the main page and the snake game pops up.

Web Browser Tip

If you are looking for an easier, faster, and over all better experience while surfing the web you should use the right web browser. Google Chrome is one of he best web browsers known to man. Recently Google has really tried to evolve from only a search engine to offering it's users products and services that they could use such as google docs. Google Chrome is obviously by Google and is one of the faster web browsers that is now accesible to the average Joe. It offers many features that other web browsers do such as bookmarks and saving the history. But also offers features that are not from this terestrial realm of web browsers. One of the coolest features is that it allows users to download web apps from the Google web store, and makes it easy to run a make shift Google Chrome OS on any type of computer. One of the other features that Google Chrome offers is incognito mode. When this is activated Google Chrome does not save your browsing history among other things. This is good for those things that we like to do but don't want anyone to find out we are doing them. Here is a link to where you can download Google Chrome for free, may you browse at lightning fast speeds, and enjoy your extraterrestrial features.

6990...?

Pretty much.

Anyone who has been following new releases in the computer market knows that the new ATI Radeon HD 6990 chipset has been released. The card consists of two 6790 chipsets, and comes at a whopping $700. The card is primarily made for overclockers, seeing as the un-overclocked card only clocks a little below the retail 6970 per chip. The idea is that this card can consolidate your graphics cards and give you more performance for less space used in your case, but for many people the argument is that it actually does worse than two 6970s in crossfire. In my opinion, buyers would be much better off buying two 6970s than a 6990, unless you're a clocker. Here is a link to the ATI Radeon HD 6990. Here is a link to the ATI Radeon HD 6970.

Donald Trump

Donald Trump has been a highly successful businessman ever since he started his first job, working for his father at his company, the Trump Organization, which worked in middle-class rental housing. Over the years he has purchased and managed his own casinos, golf clubs, and apartment buildings. He has been in and out of bankruptcy, has had three different wives, and five kids over a 30 year period. This is why I think that Donald Trump is an amazing man, not to mention his amazing TV show "The Apprentice". Here is a link where you can find out more about the Trump Organization: http://www.trump.com/ . (Above Picture- Donald himself.)
