Ok so much for the fun. Just exactly what kind of project are you making? Some of the items make sense, some don't. Some have many answers, some I don't know if there is an answer. Before I spend hours answering, I would like a clear description of the purpose of the questions, who is asking, where are the questions coming from,why, and what will be done with the answers.

A brief narrative of your whole purpose to the laundry list will suffice.

Doing a project and making a project are two different things. Did the instructor give a list of questions that you are to research and provide the answers? Are you taking some sort of technical course? I would like some sort of reassurance that I am not just going to give you answers to a homework assignment. Some the answers are very simple, while others will take a great deal of explaining to be sure the answer is understood, as the answer will depend on several situations, and a couple, #5-#6 &#10 make no sense.

Please explain in detail your project. Bear with me, answer my questions to satisfaction, and you can receive the best answers I can provide.

Thanks
