Indeed it does. Hi Terry, for another opinion Stephen could have a look at the controversy you and I had about this some time ago, I had found what looked very much like a large error in input current measurement by analysing the Mosfet's voltage waveform and applying Ohm's low to it knowing

first off, i first heard the theory that earth spent time as an iceball after the molten slagball before the dirt ball stage AGES ago. its an accepted geologic theory that said icing over is what broke down early rock into the first sand and dirt to provide a base for life as the ice melted.

actually, the more elastic something is, the more it forms a ball under its own gravity as well as surface tension. (ie, fluids, even if small enough to not have gravity of their own, will still pull into a sphere in zero g from surface tension. its the smallest volume to surface area ratio,

ohh, and also, at such low temps, with a low atmosphere pressure, two of the main items released from volcanoes, hs gas and solid so, small amounts of hs gas would melt snow and become aqueous. HS (aq) and so tends to seperate out the so, which releases oxygen. On 11/28/06, Jones Beene [EMAIL
