Why won't my Verizon texts send to ATT?
I have had this problem frequently in the past and haven't gotten much of a straight answer from Verizon who I use for my carrier. The best explanation I've gotten is that since Verizon and AT&T are two different wireless standards (CDMA vs. GSM) text messages cannot be sent directly from one phone to another without first being translated. I was told that there are large servers somewhere that do the work of translating the text messages and sometimes get backed up, usually depending on the time of day. Sometimes the translating servers get so backed up that they just start to drop certain messages and so they get lost, never to be delivered. I'm unsure of how true this is, but it sounded reasonable enough to me, I heard it from an employee of a Verizon store who said he sees the problem frequently. As far as I'm concerned, it's beyond frustrating and something that needs to be fixed ASAP. It's pretty stupid that I pay for text messaging that I can't really use whenever I need it. If anyone else knows something about this, please let us all know. Thanks!

Molecules in a liquid like to stick together. An example is the weak hydrogen bonds in water. It is these bonds that draw water up a plant as the water is used by the cells at the top the weak bonds draw additional water up from the roots (there is no pump). In oils the hydrocarbons stick to each other in the same way, as one moves so do the rest. When you add dish washing liquid to oily water you break these bonds and so break the viscosity.
Fast growing developing countries. USA and the continent of Europe are the biggest dumpers of e-waste.

How does science affect technology science?
Technology allows science to progress. Technology allows scientists to perform research. Everything around you that was created by man is technology.
Better technology allows scientists to perform wilder and more precise experiments. Then, the results from those experiments often allow for better technology to be made.
In other words improvements in technology gives science better tools with which to discover previously unknown natural phenomena and to better quantify and understand already known natural phenomena.
Technology has a huge role in science most of our discoveries were because we have such great technology to assist us in reaching our goals.

How strong does a laser pointer need to be to cut paper?
Burning paper requires 1 watt (1000 mW), which is more than what most laser pointers can achieve without modifications
For comparison: Popping balloons or lighting matches requires roughly 100 mW (which is the high end mW range of most commonly found laser pointers)
Note: laser pointers anywhere near 100 mW and up are very dangerous to the eyes and can cause permanent degrading of vision (some doctors say any laser above 5 mW can cause eye damage), so use with caution and never point at anyone's face
