Name some important similarities and distinctions between the offenses of robbery and extortion?
Robbery and extortion are two very different crimes. Robbery is defined as anyone taking something of value from another person by threatening them using force, intimidation, or any kind of violence. Extortion refers to a person forcing another person to do something against their will by using threat to personal property or reputation, or sometimes financial damage or hardship. Usually money is involved, as with blackmail or racketeering.
The key difference between the two is that robbery involves immediate and physical threat and danger to the victim, whereas in extortion the victim willingly hands over money or property or valuables in an effort to avoid future damage. In robbery, items are taken without consent. In extortion, the items are taken with consent, though against the free and independent will of the victim.
Why was the eastern Roman Empire stronger than the western Roman Empire?
There was no such thing as the Eastern Romans Empire and the Western Romans Empire. These are terms which have been coined by historians. The Romans just said Roman empire and the two geographical areas were called the east and the west.. Both areas had large numbers of troops stationed in the frontier regions. The east came under pressure by the Persian Empire and the west came under pressure by the Germanic peoples.
What is the relation between microprocessor and operating system?
- a microprocessor is hardware, it provides the physical mechanism (electronic circuitry) needed to run any software on a computer
- an operating system is software, it provides the logical mechanism (algorithms) to coordinate the running of all the software on a computer
- applications (or apps) are software, they are coordinated by the operating system and run by the microprocessor to perform tasks useful to a human user of the computer

What is the comparison between Rene Descartes' and John Locke's theory of substance?
Descartes had a dualist substance theory and believed that there were two substances, the mind and the body. Locke also believed that there were spiritual substances and physical substances, but his theory of substance relied on the substratum, a characterless thing that contains the characteristics we observe. Since we cannot observe substance, Locke believed we could not know anything about it.

What is the relationship between the police power and due process of law?
IMO, police power is the authority of a police officer to arrest an individual suspected of a crime. On the other hand, due process of law protects the right of the accused; that is, a suspect is presumed innocent until proven guilty. Thus, the authority should not trample a suspect's bill of rights when discharging its police power.

Was the ENIAC the size of a whale?
No, ENIAC was about 8 feet tall by 3 feet deep by 100 feet long occupying 3 walls of a room about 40 feet in length by 20 feet in width (40 + 20 + 40 = 100). A whale varies from about 17 feet to 82 feet in length, depending on species.
Was the Montana Class Battleship bigger than the Yamoto?
The Montana Class Battleship was never built, hower it varied with the Yamato on paper by being of about the same tonnage, almost 100 feet longer with more (12) vs (9) but smaller 16 in vs 18 inch guns. The Yamato had a larger crew, heavier secondary batteries and heavier Armor and a seven floatplane air division. Longer, yes, and a lovely ship.
The Yamato had bigger guns, but Montana had fire control radar making her much more accurate as well as 3 more guns.
Edge Montana by a long way.
How many times bigger is a supernova than a nuclear explosion?
The lowest energy release in a supernova is about 1.5E44 Joules, the highest energy release in a nuclear explosion (i.e. the Soviet Tsar Bomba of 1961) was about 2.17E17 joules (although significantly larger yields are possible, nobody has seen any reason to build one).
This is 27 orders of magnitude between the smallest supernova and the largest nuclear explosion that was ever done!!!

What are the comparison between the classes under phylum arthropods?
The term 'class' has a specific connotation within taxonomy and there exist subdivisions between phyla and classes which might make the comparison easier. Under arthropoda are Subphyla Chelicerata, Myriapoda, Crustacea, and Hexapoda. (There is also an extinct class Marrellomorpha and an the extinct Trilobite subphylum). The chelicerata, like spiders, scorpions, mites, etc., get their name from having appendages appear before the mouth; myriapods like centipedes and millipedes characterized by a high count of body segments and legs; crusteceans like crabs, shrimp, woodlice characterized by their biramous (two-part) limbs and a specialized larval form; hexapoda named for their consolidated thorax with only three pairs of legs.
Many classes exist below these subphyla each with specific characteristics; for example classes Arachnida which are terrestrial and eight legged, Chilopoda which are metameric and have one pair of legs per body segment, Branchiopoda which have gills on their appendages, Insecta with their three part body and three legs, and Malacostraca which have usually 20 body segments divided into head, thorax and abdomen - but there are many more.

Are modern civilizations more equally or less civilized than ancient ones?
When you consider that during the 20th and 21 Centuries there has not been a single year in which there has not been a war going on, and the increasing trend to terrorism, and compare this with the equally continuous fighting of the ancient world, it is difficult to say one is worse then the other. The sad conclusion is that mankind has a vicious streak which results in 'uncivilised' behaviour at both personal and collective levels.
