this is their purpose in life?
I'm gonna punch you in the ovary, that's what I'm gonna do. A straight shot. Right to the babymaker.

Also how does a Flask know to keep hot things hot and cold things cold?

look up vacuum, heat cannot be passed through a vacuum which surrounds the inside of a flask. therefore no heat can escape from the flask or inserted to the flask from the outside due to a lack of air to carry the heat.  if u look up vacuum and get anything about dyson just ignore... ;)

Incorrect boyo. There are three types of heat transfer- conduction, convection and radiation. A vaccuum only eliminates heat transfer via the first two methods!

near enough, its the idea of a flask anyway as their is a vacuum around the outside of it. you can sort out the radiation by putting a radioactive protection suit around the flask... ;)

By the way Orior do you know what is meant by Garden Leave; it's coming my way.  ;D

Why used the refill for a flask be more expensive then a new flask? Used to love tay that had brewed for a few hours in a flask. Almost made footin turf bearable.

It's all a matter of 1s and 0s. The stick is made up of cells or gates. The gate is either opened or not (1 or 0). When you plug her into the computer an electrical charge is sent over all of the gates which allows the computer to see which gates are opened and which are not. An open gate translates to a tiny piece of data. Depending on the amount and pattern of open gates the computer is able to compile these into larger pieces of data.

The computer can also send an electrical charge down to close a gate or gates thereby altering the data on the memory stick. When you take the stick out of the computer, no charge can go into the stick, therefore the data cannot be altered and so it remembers what you saved on it.

Mayo4Sam, you know as well as I do that that is a secret not even the greatest scientists can break.
