There are a lot of differences. Replay: NFL has challenge system (coaches), in College reviews are initiated from the booth (NCAA). Legal catch: NFL is 2 feet down, College is 1 foot down. Clock stops: College stops after first downs, NFL does not. Overtime: NFL has sudden death, College both teams have a chance to score from the 25 yard line.

Is heated gas more combustible?


I would have to say, YES. Your gasoline car engine uses a combination of heat, pressure, and a little spark to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines just use heat and pressure (no spark plugs in a diesel engine). Your engine will run better and you can get better millage when your car is warmed up. If you just have a can of gas it is the vapors that burn. So if the can is sitting in the sun with a little spark near by, then good bye.

Why does my iTunes randomly wipe out my entire iTunes library and label it as damaged?


Well, you should always back up your iTunes library so you can go back to a back-up copy. Technically you should make routine back-up of all of your personal/important data. iTunes saves all of your ratings, playlists, and other organization of the library in the iTunes libary file. This file is located by default in [USER PROFILE]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library on Mac and [USER PROFILE]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl on Windows.

Craigslist would be my first choice. You can meet the buyer and test the laptop out before buying, best of all no shipping. You can always try PennySaver or even the newspaper classifieds.

What is the differance between 's s' and just plain ole s?


First of all I think you meant "What is the difference between 's s' and just plain ole s?".
The apostrophe indicates possession.
's is used with a singular noun that has possession. "Michelle's car" means there is one Michelle who has a car.
s' is used with plural noun that has possession. "Michelles' car" mean there are many Michelles who have a car. If the thing that has possession does not end in "s" then just 's is used. Women's car.
s is used to make a singular noun plural. One Michelle, many Michelles. Sometimes the plural does not have an "s". 1 woman, many women.

How do can I calculate the capacity of a sewer pipe?


With the Manning's Equation Where: Q = flow, V = velocity, A = wet area, k = constant 1.49, n = manning roughness coefficient, P = wet perimeter, and S = slope of the pipe. So if you calculate the equation with a full pipe you can determine the full flow capacity of the pipe.

Why does thin crust pizza cost more than regular crust pizza?


Making of the thin crust pizza is not taught until at least the second, usually the third, year of pizza school. And most pizza makers barley make it through the first year. They might have plans to go back, but very few actually do. Therefore, a thin crust pizza maker makes more money than one who can only make regular crust pizzas. This causes the higher price for thin crust pizzas.
