    The moment you measure it it ceases to be a vacuum, so what;s the point. It';s like cyanide. no one knows what it tastes like. all the ones who tasted it are dead Nish

SPAN comes by default with display:inline and DIV by default display:block exactly so that you don't have to set one generic element to your needs.

                    How might I be exposed to cyanide? Smoking cigarettes and breathing smoke-filled air during fires are major sources of cyanide exposure. Great!

                                  Well I could never find true vacuum. If I stick something in it to measure it, I've contaminated it. So, basically, true vacuum is like utopia. It cannot exist for us to observe. Pretty much like 0K (-273.15C something). -- It's not unusual to be picked up by a klingon woman It's not unusual to have fun with a klingon When I see you kicking me around It's not unusual to see me cry, I wanna die
