@Manishearth: thx. well, I'm a bit resluctant about having on sites that possibly attract harvesting robots... is there something like private message here somewhere?
Hi,
I know, I know, there are dozens of questions here and over at uservoice that demand private messaging, like this for example.
I just want to throw in a possibility how it could be realized. To jeopardize this: Would the following be a way to be considered to implement private messaging?

We had our first books question today: Books on Chemistry
Now that one in particular is slightly too broad and gets a CV(yes, I chose the wrong category) from me (anyone agrees?), but I'm talking about books questions in general. They don't have definite answers and really should be CW--but CW f...
A Music regular, on MSO was cribbing about it--I offered to ask some questions about playing the flute. But since my other two flute questions haven't been answered yet (less flautists out there, I guess), I think that it'll trade one metric for another--overall accept rate
@Fx Ahh, right. Keys :) One issue with the Indian flute is that it has holes--they allow more flexibility, but playing the lower ones is hard since your fingers can't reach
maybe the easiest keying for that is the low C, whose harmonics are: low C, middle C, middle G, high C, high E, high G, high B-flat, top C, top D, top C
(actually, I've never reached higher than high B-flat, but better flautists can)
the most common use is to avoid difficult fingering on high notes by fingering a perfect fifth (and an octave) below
it gives a more "eerie" tune to the note, also, and is used for this effect in modern music
@Manishearth in the "flute lessons" curriculum I followed, this was something like a sixth-year topic
@Manishearth well, I think it's mostly used if you do modern musics or if you play in orchestra, where sometimes the guy writing the score wouldn't know enough about flutes to avoid difficult fingerings :)
I don't think you're supposed to do it solo in classical music
this is one modern piece where it's used somewhat extensively, IIRC:
"-Have a reasonably high reputation score to indicate active, consistent participation. -Show an interest in their meta’s community-building activities."
@Fx Unfortunately, aside from Richard, all the other nominees don't have much activity on either meta or main. I'm still nominating NickT--don't know much about him but he seems pretty good. Hopefully he can fill in what I don't know :)
Hematite is composed of $\ce{Fe2O3}$, and is paramagnetic, whereas magnetite is $\ce{Fe3O4}$ and is diamagnetic. Magnetite's nature is due to the presence of both $\ce{Fe^{2+}}$ and $\ce{Fe^{3+}}$ (Wikipedia even goes so far as to call it $\ce{FeO}\cdot \ce{Fe2O3}$, but explains that this is not...
hm, I have to edit almost all of Ashu's posts for spelling (cant vs. can't, Im vs. I'm, capital I, space before opening parenthesis, that kind of stuff)…
Techinically this: Na+ is from a strong base(NaOH), while RSO−3 is from a weak acid, thus the resulting solution is basic. could be improved
$\ce{Na+}$ is from a strong base (making it a weak conjugate acid), while $\ce{RSO3-}$ is from a weak acid (making it a weak conjugate base), thus the resulting solution is **basic**. is better
Considering that I have a diffraction pattern of a crystal, how would I calculate the resolution of a structure in Angstroms? How does that value differ from the information that I would get from the beta-factor?
I'm aware that the resolution can be calculated by Bragg's law but how does that pr...
