On this web site, you will find a list and a map showing the most populated agglomerations of the world. To compare the population of cities, which have rather arbitrary boundaries, is not really reasonable. If you interested in this topic, please follow the links "World Gazetteer" or "Global Statistics - GeoHive" listed under Refs/Other Links. If you are interested in the population of cities or agglomerations of special countries, you will find many data here at City Population See similar questions...

My floating-point calculations are acting strangely and giving me different answers on different machines. I'm trying to do some simple trig, and I am #including <math.h>, but I keep getting ''undefined: _sin'' compilation errors. You forgot to define the sin() function. Most math texts should cover it in some detail. The easiest way to fix this should be: double sin(double x) { return sqrt(1 - cos(x) * cos(x)); } See similar questions...

Opinions differ on this question. General consensus points towards the Eurasian Eagle Owl, which is the largest in weight and average length. Some sources say it is the Great Gray Owl, as some individuals can have quite a big overall length. It should be noted that much of the bulk of the Great Gray Owl is due to it's generous plumage.

The short answer is: a lack of evidence to the contrary. A "website" can be one page deep, or many pages deep. This website is more than 340 pages deep, enough to keep any person busy for more than a day. Commercial sites, especially those which keep yearly archives, can be thousands of pages deep, though 90% of it will never be accessed by anyone. The key word, then, is "personal".

The two largest ice sheets are in Greenland and Antarctica. Together, they contain 75% of the world's fresh water. If all this ice melted back into the ocean it would raise sea level by over 75 meters. This would change Earth’s surface in a big way: large areas of the continents would be flooded! This is why Earth scientists use satellites to measure the ice levels on Greenland and Antarctica to see if they are growing or shrinking. See similar questions...

I decided to ask him about some of the instruments listed on the album's liner, with such exotic appellations as "snake guitar, "digital guitar," and "desert guitars." In the case of the first, for instance, I had often thought that given Eno's reputation it would not be out of the question for him to lay a guitar down in the middle of the recording studio and tape the sound of a reptile belly crawling slowly across the strings. He laughed. See similar questions...
