Is a random number generator really random?

There are few ways to generate a random number.\n\n1)Hardware Random Number Generator \nThis uses a physical process such as radioactive decay.\n\n2)Pseudo-random Number Generator.\nStart with a number called seed. This method generates a sequence of random numbers, starting from the seed. This method provides many different alternatives on how to generate the next number. Below are two examples.\n\n2-1) Linear Congruence Method\n The next number is generated by a linear recurrence. For example, we can use x=5x+1(mod 7). If the seed was 1, the next few numbers are 6,3,2,0,1,...\n\n2-2) Lagged Fibonacci Method\nThis method uses Fibonacci recurrence relation with some alteration. Such as f_{n+2} = (f_{n+1})^2 + (f_n^3) + 1.\n\n3)Quadratic Residue Method\nThis method uses the fact that the exact half of the set of residue of a prime number is a quadratic residue. For example, consider 13. 1,3,4,9,10,12 are quadratic residue. 2,5,6,7,8,11 are non-quadratic residue.


I've tried MLB.com, but it doesn't offer links to player's official web sites and I've tried looking at Yahoo, but to no avail.

ESPN.com MLB section has information on every player, past and present.  But as far as their personal websites you'd probably have to look them up individually.  I've found some that were inaccurate that way too.


I have a project that I need to do on a famous biologist or virologist and I need some help! So if anybody knows anything please let me know! I tried using the internet, but we all know how reliable that is! ;) Anyway, thank you to whoever helps me!\nP.S. This is due Monday, January 9th, 2006

I would say Watson and Crick.  They discovered DNA, leading the biological world into a whole new era that makes so much possible from treating deadly diseases to cloning.


European and African sparrow weight differently. I am asking about European sparrow


she is a nasty person - my problem is , is that i do not feel the need to allow her to treat me this way infront of my kids and other family members mine and hers. where and how do you draw the line.  it is very noticable that she does not care for me. her mom says she is not nice to anyone.  i do not want to attend the party on sat but my mother in law does so much for me   any suggestions.  the party is at my sister in laws house.

Well if you are invited is acceptable to go, and the party is not for your sister in law it is for your mother in law and i think your mother in law is the one you are honoring when you go. If she is nasty to you just turn the other cheek, and explain to your children that you are going for your m-i-l and not take anything that your sister in law says to you to heart. She might be jealous of your relationship with your m-i-l. In the end it will all smooth over, trust me from a person who knows.


We find the molecule Adenosine Tri Phosphate as energy carrier in the cell? Then, why don't we find Adenosine Tetra or Penta Phosphate in the cell??

We find both in nature. We also find Adenosine Hexaphospate. Although their energienics aren't such that they are important as energy carriers, they are thought to play important roles as metabolic regulation molecules.

every time i set it when i press cancel on the screen that prompt me for the password the system can enter without any considration to the password

The only way is to make the computer completely secure is to make it a part of a domain. \nYour other choice is the create another username on the machine. Making sure it has access to everything you want to be able to use. After doing this, restart the computer and instead of entering a username/password click 'cancel' this is the default user, remove everything from the start menu WITHOUT uninstalling anything. This will deny direct access when you don't enter a password and click cancel. You can't do anything without knowing what you are doing. You can take this a step further and place a .bat file in the startup folder on this profile that reboots the machine if the password is not entered. You can also do several registry tweaks to remove the 'run' feature and others.

English is my second language. I'm a bit confused of the two words. Are they the same? What are the differences?

They are two entirely different plants, they don't taste anything alike, they just look alike.  Lettuce is used in Salads while Cabbage is what saurkraut is made from.


I'm on a university line (I think through a router). I can't test my ping or do a traceroute. I get "request timed out" or "destination net unreachable". I can ping my IP...but that's about it. Is there any way to change this?

Maybe the routers access list has it denied. Try to ping the router and see if you get a respond echo.


i want to make a shortcut but i want it to refer to a file on the cdrom whatever the drive leter d or e or f whatever but i want it to go to the cdrom

Go to your CD-ROM in "My Computer" and right click it. Select "Explore". Right Click on the file you want to create a shortcut to and click "Create Shortcut". For this to work you must have the CD in for this to work. To have it work sans CD right click and select copy. Hope this helps.


I only have depression a couple of days after my monthly cycle and it will last about a week  I eat well and excersise  but there is a week out of every month I fell so low.  and I get a phobia.  Ive reacently moved to a new city and it is hard for me to mengle and look for new work.

I've gone through spells of depression that have lasted months.  The only thing that got me through was prayer and friendship.  I'm not one who goes to church every week nor do I talk continuously about my spirituality but I can say that when I have been struggling with dark thoughts I pray and talk to friends and somehow I get past it.  In your new city, make yourself get up early each morning and get fixed up.  When you get out of the house you will immediately feel a little bit better.  Look your best and that will help you to feel more confident.  Call on a friend from home, maybe a sibling or close family member when you feel your lowest.  One of my closest friends lives miles away and her friendship still gives me a great deal of support.  Just talk to someone and tell them the truth about what is going on inside.  It will be a great release and you will not be going through it alone.  Remember to pray for yourself, ask for courage and strength of heart..I promise that you will be better before you know it.

Baron, Dunleavy, Richardson, and Murphy lead the Warriors. They are pretty exciting this year to watch and actually have a winning record!  It's almost like the Tim Hardaway, Chris Mullin, and Mitch Richmond days in the early 90's.

I am 80% confident that they will make it to the playoffs. But a serious injury to Baron or Richardson can really mess it up.


i have arthritis and 2 lumps in my left breast and can't go to the doctor because I do not have any insurance and can' get on medicaid because i am not pregnant and do not have any children. i really need some help and no one will help me

Many hospitals offer free care if you qualify. Your local hospital social services department may have an application for this. The social services department may also be able to tell you where there is a free clinic in your area. Give them a call and see what options they have to help you. If you live in a small town call a hospital in the nearest large city to you. If they don't have a program to help you, you can always go to the emergency room. You should not let these medical problems go untreated.

Any thoughts about marketing a small tour business?  I have good word of mouth, but it is in a single community and I need to expand beyond that circle to grow the business.  Face to face presentations are best from my experience, but difficult to be in many places at once.  How about direct mailings and web advertising (Google ad words?)  Any insight is appreciated!

The best way to move into new markets to find markets that are adjacent to the market you are already in. Don't try to stretch to completely new markets - it is too expensive. \n\nFind customers within your existing business who fit in both your current and adjacent markets and ask them how they learn about new products/services in their other market (what they read, what sites to they visit, what keywords to they use on Google, etc).  All this will help you find sources of media that best target these buyers.\n\nThen I would try to get PR before advertising. It is often less expensive and more effective.  If you have never used PR (Public relations) before, I have a suggestion. My friend opened up a business in a new market. To get local newspaper coverage, he went to the newspaper and asked which local PR specialists the newspaper liked to work with. Then he hired their recommendation to get him ink in the local paper. It worked like a charm.

i had yahoo mail now i can't get it don't know why, i still have yahoo messenger

Yahoo generally closes your mail account after a long period of inactivity. This is generally 4 months in the case of Yahoo. \n\nIf you meant to say you are not able to sign in to yahoo mail though you can use your Yahoo messenger then this is the case.\n\nBut if not, you might have lost your password or forgot your login id.


Does anybody know what Boston Celtics ledgend, #33 Larry Bird is doing now? Last i heard he was coaching the NBA team, Indiana Pacers, but i think he quit.\nIs he just enjoying the peace and quite of retirement?

Bird did a fine job in his three seasons on the bench. In his first season, the Pacers with Reggie Miller as it's main weapon, were defeated by the defending champion Chicago Bulls and Jordan in a tough seven-game conference finals series. And in the 2000 NBA Finals, the Pacers succumbed in a six-game series to the Lakers, led by Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant, for the Lakers' first of three consecutive titles.\n\nBird resigned as Pacers' coach after that NBA Finals appearance and has attempted to come back to the league in an ownership capacity. He is currently the President of the Pacers. \n\nHe is also an avid outdoorsman who also has a passion for country music, auto racing, golf and the St. Louis Cardinals has many interests. He also owns "Larry Bird's Boston Connection," a hotel/restaurant in Terre Haute that also serves as a museum for many of his trophies and awards.

Somebody answer yes and then everybody rate the answer.

Yes, I think he should be executed, because he formed one of the most deadliest street gangs ever in the United States.  He is indirectly responsible for hundreds of murders, which the gang committed, and in my opinion, that does constitute the death penalty.

I wondered if bipolar disorder would have an effect on children in the home?

i was diagnosed with bipolar before i had my daughter and they told me when i was pregnant that my chances of having post partum depression where higher than a person with out bipolarI am also a single  parent so that also makes things hard  my baby girl is five monthes old and is in foster care because i was so afraid that i would hurt her because I wasn't taking my meds and everything else but i am working on getting her back so yes I do think that bipolar has affects on children it has on my daughter and she is only five months old


hav u seen that boy damn he can sing and dance and he fine!!

HELLS YEAH!!! I am 18. so i can get in trouble messing someone so young, but he is so sexy.


This is very important and it would be so great if you could answer my question. "If 10 is added to the numerator of a fraction and 5 is added to the donominator, the value of the fraction is tripled. What is the original fraction?" Even if you don't know the answer, please tell me what the numerator and donominator is. Thanks!

The equation to solve looks like:\n\n(x+10)/(y+5)=3x/y\n\nwhere x is the numerator and y is the denominator.\n\nIf you cross multiply the expression, it yields:\n\n-15x+10y=2xy\n\nThere is no single answer to that problem. Any (x,y) pair that satisfies the equation above works. (y cannot be 0 or -5). x=2 indeed yields y = 5. x=1 yields y=15/8 etc...

stem cell research may be a potential fountain of youth but more work needs to be done on it. A guy wrote a book on living forever that was recently published but his sample was just himself and his assistant, not a statistically significant sample size nor could anyone draw any firm conclusions. He altered his existence so much that most could not live as he did to make it work, i.e. organic foods, no meat, no alcohol, no drugs, lots of exercise...etc...\n\nI do not know the name of the book, but I remember reading the review of it in the Wall Street Journal, Perhaps a web search of WSJ and fountain of youth might bring you what you want.


This is just something I have overheard or read. Looking for an explanation on why that would be such a bad thing. As this person said it would cause chaos, which wouldn't exactly be pleasant

Hello..\n\nGod hath been proven to exist, to all those that believe on His only son Jesus..He is revealed..\n\nThere is no Chaos in my life..only Love, Peace and Joy..Amen\n\nHe just cannot and does not exist to those that do not believe in Him..\n\nFor God hath given unto us our own free will, to either believe or not to believe in Him..Amen

I'm a huge football fan, but I never really played college ball nor did I attend a major university with a popular team.  How do the players earn those stickers?

Some teams will use them some will not.  I have heard of some schools College and High school giving out the stickers for starting a game.  Each one will be different and it is tough to tell what they are for.  I have seen some schools that have different stickers that meant differnt things.  On the other hand some schools will have the same sticker and award for there goals.  I do know that at Georgia they have white dog bones for good plays and the Black ones are for academics.

What should be the selling price of a computer with the following specifications.\nPentium III 733 MHz, Original Intel 82810 Motherboard, 256 SDRAM, CD Writer, Floppy Drive, 20GB harddisk(no Bad Sectors)

I've always found that the best way to find a "going rate" for anything was simply to check eBay. For systems matching your specs. I saw a range of about $120 to $190 {plus shipping}.\n\nYou can generally get a little bit more when selling locally, but not that much.

the T9 option of writing can make printong much easier, now why has'nt anyone come up with it

When you have the full keyboard, predictive text input becomes less useful. The idea has been tried, for example in the DOS wordprocessor MindReader. Office and OpenOffice also offer to autocomplete longer words, and many editors aimed at coders also offer code completion. \n\nThere have been other attempts to create different forms of input, such as Dasher.


And answers.  Or is spelling a good indication of the intelligence of the question and answer writers?

it's not currently offered doesn't mean they won't implement it in the (near) future. my best guess is they want to get this new service live as soon as possible.\n\nand there is no apparent relationship between IQ & wrong-spelling.

What do you think?  I say they should tatoo the crime across the forehead or across the cheeks of the offender.  Noone would ever accidently let their kids play near the guy with "Pedophile" stamped on his cheeks.

Certainly not! It is the responsibility of parents to know where their children are and with whom. To deprive people of the ability to earn a living after conviction for ANY crime is not in the interest of justice or of society as a whole.\nThe way our laws are currently written, a 22 year old guy who loses his head over a perfectly willing and experienced 17 year old girl is catagorized right alongside the monsters who get their jollies with actual children. It would not be right.\nBesides which, any offender with the money could just go to a doctor and have it removed, or get it covered with another tattoo...and don't think there are not doctors right here in the States that would do it.

I know that's it sounds very unreal but at age of 6 I've been taken from alines like in the movies!The weird thing is that I don't remember much!I remember the flying alien ship roaund and with a lot of light around it and after that I can't remember a thing I just find my self in my bed!What do you think about this?Believe me that is real!I apriciate if somebody would like to answer!

This is not weird thing. Moreover, this is real. Aliens and UFOs do exist. But the thing is that when you start telling people who have never seen them about this, they start think that you are a schizophrenic. So, the time will come when people find out the truth!

We are a nonprofit organization that often receives our funding several months late from a state contract.  Consequently, we do not always have enough money to pay our employees let alone deduct and pay to the IRS taxes due during each quarter until we receive our state funding.  Thus, we try to stretch our limited funding.  What argument will work with the IRS to have it remove the interest and penalties it charges when the 941 forms are late because of this? We do not want to get into factoring of accounts receivable to solve this problem.

You're late filing your returns because either you didnt prepare and file them or your payroll processor didnt prepare and file them.  Your funding being late didnt have anything to do with it.  If you pay them, complete the form and mail it in -- if you don't pay them, complete the form and mail it in.\n\nThe only taxes that the employer must pay are the employer portions of FICA and Medicare.  If you're not paying and submitting withheld taxes then you have some other significant problems that go well beyond not filing your 941.\n\n[i run an independent payroll processing company].


my parents passed away about 4 years ago.they had a will,but a few years prior to their death they were not speaking to me. i have 2 other sisters but have had no contact with either of them because i cant locate them.is a will a public record?also if it is where do i go to view it?

You will have to find the executor of the will who will be the trustee to carry out any provisions written in the will, usually it is the lawyer hired by the deceased. If your name is there and your family is witholding your dues your only recourse is to contest the will in an open court house.


ok when you see the question has been answered, with the answer you were going to give or its similar. y do u answer it anyway???? do u think the last person did it wrong? do u think i need twelve answers that are all the same?

Consider the first melodic segment you hear in a song (whether verse or chorus) as A.  The next complete melodic segment that you hear that is different than A is B.  So, in AABA form, you have two identical melodic segments followed by one different melodic segment, and then back to the original melodic segment.  AABA form is used most frequently in slow or mid-tempo ballads, since its 32 bars (four eight-bar sections) would make for a very short song at fast tempos.  Examples of AABA songs are:  "Just The Way You Are" (Billy Joel), "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue (Richard Leigh), and "Streets of Philadelphia" (Bruce Springsteen).  See the sources below for two books that may be of great help to you.  They have been my "bibles" for songwriting.

What's up! I am a huge fan of the O.C. Supertones, Buck Enterprises, and Five Iron Frenzy, but ska appears to be dead. I played trumpet for 8 years, and love Christian rock music, so the combination, I think, is awesome, any help? Perhaps you are in the band? Thanks in advance.

Hey buddy, I feel ya 100%. I used to listen to ska of all kinds, from Five Iron to Less than Jake. Even the O.C. Supertones had some great songs. But ska has indeed gone the way of the buffalo. I still listen to the Bosstones and LTJ but if you want Christian Ska specifically, I'm posting a link with a list of current Christian Ska bands. Keep up the skankin!

what does " mi sei manccata" mean i know its italian but what does it mean?

It means "you missed me."  For example, while I was gone, did you miss me?  Mi is the direct object of the sentence and means "Me."  Sei Manccata (I don't think the spelling is right) is the second person singular past tense of mancare which means "to miss".

I am getting married soon and am just curious what you all think.

For us, it has been work.  Lots and lots and lots of hard work.\n\nWhen we got married, I had an idea of what a wife should do, be like, etc. And, I expected her to be this person and our marriage to be a certain way.  So, after working at it for a year (and fighting constantly), I slowly realized that she is who she is and my expectations were wrong.  (She had to realize the same things about me.)  This is when we learned we have to work at communicating with each other and with ourselves. (You will have to learn who you truly are as well as who your mate truly is.)\n\nWe have been together almost 12 years now; she is my soul mate and we are very happy.  But, the communication and understanding that are needed are work.\n\nEvery few months, life will throw a new set of challenges at us and we will have to work at communicating well, understanding things 100% from the other persons point of view, not having emotional reactions to things without asking "Did you mean that way I heard it?" Then, once we have communicated and are in synch with each other, we can tackle the challenges of life together.  \n\nMarriage is not 50/50.  It is 100%/100%, and often you have to give your 100% first.  But, being able to become someones soul mate and their true love is an amazing blessing.  Just keep in mind that sometimes you have to give your 100% first and that is work.\n\nBeing truly in love when you get married is a great place to start growing your life long love together.    But, you have to work to grow life long love.  \n\nPlus, please remember to "actively love".  Don't just love someone and feel that is enough.  You have to pay attention to this person you are marrying, and learn what stresses them out, makes them happy, what they are great at, how best to be supportive,  and which of the family roles that mentally and emotionally hate but that you could do (I do the dishes, because she would rather be beat with a stick than wash another person's dishes.).  In other words, you have to learn who this person really is and how you can help make their life happier.  Ask yourself, "What can I DO, to make my mates life easier, happier, better, etc."  "Active love", which is paying attention to your mate and then doing things you can to improve their life, is also part of true love.\n\nForgive the long answer.  This is just the things we have learned in our 12 years together.  Every relationship is unique.  \n\nGood luck and best wishes to you both.


I don't believe in loving someone just because they're family. I believe that actually, family is more likely to screw you over, in the name of family. Am I the only one who doesn't love family just because they are family?\nI mean, extended, not immediate. None of my family calls me, none of them even seem to care. But my cousin said she was "repulsed" by the fact that I didn't love her just cause she is my cousin.\nI feel unconditional love, but a person has to earn it from me first. They don't get it just because they were born and happen to be a relative.\nAnd I don't even think familial love is unconditional. It's obligatory love...and that repulses me. Am I alone in my feeling?

Kiara, no.  You are not alone in your feeling.  But may I make a suggestion?\n\nI grew up in a family where people routinely stabbed each other in the back.  It was a very unhappy place, and for most of our lives, certain people within the family came to resent others....this has lasted a lifetime in some instances.\n\nBut you have a choice to make, and let me tell you how I made mine; I came to know the love of Jesus Christ.  So no longer is my life about, who did what to me.  My life is about how to learn to love others unconditionally, as God loves me.\n\nYou have a choice to make too; which end of the pencil do you wish to use in your life?  The one that is continally writing down the offenses people give you...or the one that is continually erasing offenses, always forgiving, showing kindness with no expectation of return?  I can tell you one thing for sure; the second choice above will bring a life of peace and fulfillment; the first a life of bitterness and resentment.  The choice is yours to make.


e.g. the average age at which men die of heart disease is 10 years younger thant that for women.

In part because men generally go to the doctor less often than women, so treatable diseases are not discovered as early.


I am trying to find out how to accurately measure a wave

What type of wave?  In the ocean, a wave height is measured from the lowest point on the "back" side, to the highest point on the wave.  It is not measured "trough" to "crest".


I heard this on the radio but I couldn't belive it. Why didn't he want to be called Richard.

Yes,\nDick Trickle raced  the NASCAR circuit from 1975 till 2002.  His best ranking was in 1989 where he finished 17th and earned $270,000.  In 1998 he earned 1.2 million but was only ranked 29th.


i read my horrerscope in the paper and i always wonder how you make them.i know that it has to do with the plants and star groups,but how to say it like you will have a good day?

The horoscopes based on Sun signs in the newspaper are BS. Honestly.  All astrologers who know anything about astrology will tell you this.\n\nTo make your own horoscope you need to learn the basic methods of astrology. Most astrologers make use of the chart. I suggest going to http://astro.com , making an account (it's free unless you want extra features), and entering your birth data. It will calculate your natal chart and once you know how to read it, it will be MUCH more accurate.\n\nIf you're so inclined, buy a couple of astrology books and get into it. It's fun stuff. :)


I hate losing the best answer to someone who pastes half a book from some other website when my answer is the same but coming out of my head.  Anyone else think cutting and pasting is cheating / plagiarizing?

Well there r different types of quiz masters here - some of them need detailed information regarding certain subjects; certain others who r trying to test others' general/specific knowledge; certain others who r just time wasters; some others who really need help - sympathisers; and of course certain half cracks! People cut and paste long answers because they are 'long' - they do not have the time to type it - they could help other genuine quizzers. Further some of the answers are easily available on the net - for such people the best answer is just a link or even more punishing - copying & pasting it so that they are forced to read it!


From Wikipedia:\n"The practice of chiromancy [palmistry] is regarded by many as a pseudoscience, and no hard scientific evidence has been found to back up claims of veracity. It should be noted that the information outlined below is representative of modern palmistry; there are many - often conflicting - interpretations of various lines and palmar features across various "schools" of palmistry. None of these interpretations have been verified by any objective scientific research."\n\nOne technique used by palm readers but also used bysalespeople, interrogators, church pastors, hypnotists, psychics, graphologists, palmists, astrologers, and con men is called "cold reading," which, generally speaking, refers to any technique with which the interviewer finds information from the interviewee without any prior knowledge.\nMore specifically, it refers to a handful of techniques (such as "shotgunning") that usually involve the interviewer tossing out several general facts or questions to see what elicits a reaction and getting more specific from that point on.


I am a service connected disabled vet with serious skin cancer due to chemical warfare in Iraq. I have a family of five and we are in dire need to pay bills.

Hit the VA hard, every social service agency in your home town, and be sure to enlist the local VFW and local church. DO NOT TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER. There is tons of money out there for deserving people, and it sounds like you deserve it.\nNo of these things will make you rich, but you can live.


Soil invertebrates play important roles in soil communities. Some directly consume detritus, others consume detritivores, whereas others are higher-level carnivores that can indirectly control decomposition by their effects on lower levels of the food web. The classic study of detrital food webs was conducted by Gist and Crossley (1975), showing which invertebrate groups are detritivores and which are carnivorous. This reference is somewhat hard to find; Smith and Smith (2001, p. 496) has a good description of the major findings of that study.\n\n\nVisit the link below for all the info.

I heard in the news people at wal-mart were not allowed to say Merry Christmas because of the word Christ.  Is this really necessary?  Give your opinion.

People should definitely be allowed to say "Merry Christmas" if they want to.  But the point is, stores do have customers who don't celebrate Christmas, and Christmas is a religious holiday.  So if a store like Walmart wants to be inclusive of all holidays, why can't they?  What's wrong with "Happy Holidays?"  It includes Christmas.  Christmas is the religion of the majority, but the majority of people are also white.  Should Walmart say "Merry Christmas, White People" ?  Of course not!  There is nothing wrong with an inclusive sentiment.  Bill O'Reilly is wrong on this one. Happy holidays is a sentiment that speaks to the majority and the minorities -- what's wrong with that?  Seriously -- some people don't believe in Christ or in Christmas -- why no be inclusive of all in this season?  It's completely wrong to punish stores for trying to send a message that is religion-neutral and in general good spirits.


How long will it take me to make it to the end of my degree programe in Med from R.N ??

Do you mean how long will medical school take you if you have an RN? Assuming that you already have a bachelor's degree with the appropriate coursework, it will take you four years to get a medical degree (MD) degree. Having an RN will not shorten the time it takes to get an MD degree.


I had a 103.2 temp on thurs night, friday 101.7 now its been normal ~98.6 for about 3 days now. Can i still spread the flu virus? I am still coughing a little but thats it for symptoms.

Spread by virus-infected droplets that are coughed or sneezed into the air, the flu is contagious. People infected with the flu are contagious as long as they show symptoms (most of the time that means about 1 week for adults, but for children it can mean up to 2 weeks).


When we are more than just friends? I suppose "lover", "mate" or "possible spouse someday" just doesn't sound quite right.\nJust curious where and when the term started.

The terms "girlfriend" and "boyfriend" are relatively new in the english language.  \n\nThe first known usage of the term "boyfriend" is in   George W. E. Russell's "Collections and Recollections" where he says that\n\n"The young ladies...meet their boy-friends at all hours and places."\n\n"Collections and Recollections" was published sometime between 1898 and 1909.\n\nIt is likely that the terms developed colloquially sometime before that and over the years became the popular way to refer to one's significant other.  There are still groups of people who find the term demeaning and prefer either "lady-friend" or "male-friend" or "partner".\n\nPart of the rise in popularity of the terms is likely due to the necesity of some words to describe a new sort of cultural relationship.  In earlier times neither young, nor older people would have had the sort of relationship we refer to as a "boyfriend-girlfriend" relationship.  They certainly would have relationships with those to whom they were "betrothed", but even then, in proper Western society it would have been rare for them to spend extended amounts of time alone together before moving into a husband-wife relationship. \n\nWikipedia:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boyfriend\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girlfriend

Looking for a name of school or schools that has a course or major in cryptozoology.

Good luck. Do you want elementary, junior, high or some college? \nCrypto Zoology is more of a mixture of many different applications of science. It is also one of the least respected field. Your best bet is to see what interests you most.....Biology,anthropology, social sciences(why do we react and behave to certain stimuli like we do???).\n There is too much in this world to say that mankind is the "all knowing and ultimate" life-form....

We're seeing a very interesting time in history, what with the Middle East seeing two new democratic nations born in the last several years. Yet the strongest opposition to this liberty and progress ironically comes from people who call themselves "liberal" and "progressive". Will these folks ever realize the irony of this situation?

The true irony is that it's inherantly illiberal and undemocratic to forcefully establish a democracy within a country outside of your own.  All democracies have been born from within.  So in the case of the Middle East, liberals are not opposing the spread of democracy, they are opposing the method in which it is spread.  Progressive and liberal theories depend on freedom and personal rights.  Installing a form of government upon a foreign society violates both of these factors.


HP\n\nUnless you want to spend more than $1,000, get a HP.  In the sub-$1,000 area, they are the best.\n\nAny printer less than $100 should be considered a throw-away.  They only sell them that cheap with the hopes that you will spend many times that on their brand of ink.\n\nMy other 2 cents: Color LaserJets are in the sub-$300 range and worth every penny.


how do i add up the total number of my contacts entered in outlook 2003

1. Open Outlook 2003\n2. Click Contacts\n3. Goto Edit, Select All in the Menu Bar(or hit Ctrl+A on the keyboard)\n4. Look at the left side of the Status Bar at the bottom of Outlook (if the Status Bar isn't there, goto View, Status Bar in the Menu Bar). It should say "X Items", where X is the total number of your contacts.

Im going into the Navy's Nuclear program and was wondering if anyone hear was or currently is in this program. If so, do you like it and where did you go to school and get based. Do you ever go to sea? Just any info would be good.

Ohh, i was actually considering that in high school, some guys from it came to talk to my AP physics class last year to get us to enroll.  I really like physics, but wasnt sure of a stable career in it so that program was kind of appealing.  If it's the Nuclear Power Program that they came to talk to us about, basically you control the nuclear reactors on submarines, so yes, you have to go out to sea a lot, but you won't really be in direct battle, you'll be working with the nuclear power that makes the sub work while the other people on the sub shoot missles at things.  You'll travel a lot to other countries and stuff.  They pay for your college, and you can go anywhere you want that you get accepted to, then you go to their college, i forget where to get the nuclear power training for a year.  Personally, I decided not to do it because you are always traveling and in strange places.  It would be nice to see the world, but it would be impossible to settle down because you are gone for weeks and weeks at a time and only get to be home a few days before you depart again.  That's all I know about it, good luck.


I understand that the polling category didn't exist when you asked this question, but from now on you should ask questions like this in the "Surveys and polls" section.\n\nBy the way, I don't live in Kansas City either. Sorry. I bet there's at least one other person here though...

Man came from chimps?! How did Adam and Eve come about into our lives? Please answer anyway you like.

Okay, first things first. We didn't come from "chimps." Humans and chimpanzees have evolved from a common ancestor, but man is on a different evolutionary step than Bonzo, not a higher one.\n\nObviously, if you accept evolution (which you should, as it makes a whole lot more sense to anyone with an iota of reason), you cannot accept the Adam and Eve myth.\n\nThe competition of the fact of evolution and the theory of creation are mutually exclusive. Adam and Eve did not exist. They are part of a story made up by people with no better way to explain the world around them. It is a sad thing indeed that even in the twenty-first century people still cling to this made up tale.\n\nIf I told you that I had a magic potion that made you invisible, you'd ask for proof. But if some book says that the world was created 6,500 years ago (thousands of years after the Babylonians invented beer!), it is accepted without hesitation.\n\nSo sad. So sad.


I hear it in the army and stuff. I wonder what does it mean?

Gung-Ho means to be overly zealous or very eager. The noun form means a spirit of teamwork and courage. Literally it is a 2 part word of Chinese origin..meaning "work" and "peace & Harmony"

Well the first approach is simple.....ASK\n\nBut if you are afraid of rejection, you can observe his actions after the date.  If he calls, he likes you. If not, he is not intrested and you should move on.  If your not sure, you can call him and pursue the relationship and see how he reacts.  If you get alot of excuses, he moree than likely is not intrested.\n\nGood luck and keep your chin up!

Now with the excuse ot terrorism, i hate the idea that somebody (goverment) might be seeing me. I feel violeated, the goverment should no interfer with us. After all terrorist exit in part because the US is always looking for trouble in other nations

Like the CSI tv series, are the people that work these jobs actually cops?

It depends on the department they work for, along with the job title and specifications. CSI isn't a nationwide title, and some forensic duties are carried out by police.


I'm a college student who has no coordination, but loves to play. Unfortunately everyone else seems competitive and critical. I want to break into sports, but how should I?

since you have no coordination, start with intermerals or intermediate sport teams. gain some extra skills and tips and when you feel confident, maybe tryout for that particular sport when the time comes. workout alot, tone, train, and be in your prime.\n\nyou can do it!     *Rocky music plays in background*


I would just like to hear from your perspective.  Knowing the terrible accidents and devestating injuries to innocent people that are caused by people driving drunk, why do you do it?  Is it because you know that you will not be hurt (since the drunk usually walks away unharmed) so you just do not care?  Is it because in the US there is no real penalty for driving drunk?  (License suspensions does not count, since those suspended drive anyway.)  Or a comnination of the two?

People who drive drunk are stupid. I'm sorry to sound so harsh, but considering you can kill innocent people, you are stupid if you drink and then drive your car.


I'm getting married next year, and I own a home.  Once we're married, does she automatically have rights to the house, or would she have to be added to the mortgage to have any rights to the house?

Unless she signs a pre-nuptial agreement waiving her right to the home, she will become a "co-owner" on your wedding day.


I would have to disagree with David to some extent. To evolve into a different species we would have changed enough so that different subpopulations of humans could no longer interbreed. Humans display a range of social and technological aptitudes and capacities throughout earth, the majority of which haven't even heard a dialtone let alone participated in any form of advanced travel or communications processes. However, none of these people are incabable of doing so if provided with the appropriate education needed. This suggest that there hasn't been any change in our molecular (genetic) makeup that provides us with these advanced technologies -- which is where the changes are needed to happen for biological evolution to occur. Even if you wanted to argue that social evolution has distinguished industrialized man from our primitive brethern enough to warrant a new species distinction, I would argue that we still haven't met one of the key requirements for doing so, there are no subgroups of humans on earth that are incapable of interbreeding with one another. Until that happens, no we haven't evolved from Homo sapiens sapiens to Homo sapiens futura. \n\nHowever, we will evolve into someting different! This is a certainty -- as long as our species doesn't become extint before that can happen! But don't expect that Homo sapiens will evolve into just one different species. Depending on what our environment(s) dictates, humans could evolve into numerous other species. Through the process of evolution, it is inevitable, but at the same time it is not predictable.


Your friend was deferred from the early decision process, I'm assuming.  It means that they didn't accept him early, but it is still possible that they will accept him when they look at all of the regular applications in the spring.  He'll find out whether he actually gets accepted in April.  (Though just on a side note, it's pretty rare to get rejected in early admissions...usually when someone is deferred it is a good idea to send in a statement of intent and other letters of recommendation to enhance their application and make them more competitive in the spring).  Hope that helps!


I am the webmaster of our company website as well as a inside sales person as my full-time position. how much extra do you think i should make on top of what I already make... in percentage?

Aaah, if only it always worked that way.....   For starters be aware that some other employee might be willing to do it for free.  \n\nIf you're trying to get a raise, just call around to outsourcers and ask how much they would charge to do what you do, then tell your boss that's how much you're saving them by helping out.  Don't forget that every hour you're working on the web site you're not doing your other job, because your boss won't forget that.\n\nIf you can't get extra money, try to get them to pay for technical classes for you.  Remember the best time to ask for a raise is BEFORE your boss asks his boss for it (ie:  before the budget is final).  Good luck.


me. She is alway's lying and I know these thing's because my x and my boy's told me, he broke it off with her a while back and he said all kind's of thing's about her to me, and then he went back to her, well I am not comfortable with all the information i got about her.  And I still love my x and want him back;

Hun, I'm so sorry. I think you have to let go. I know you don't want to hear this. But he has to make his own mistakes. Stay strong......keep your dignity. If he comes back.....you will feel that you did the right thing and he will need to prove himself again. Just be strong and don't stop being you.


My colleague and I seem to have some chemistry going on but I cannot be sure - I've asked him to come to social outings a few times but he never turned up. He has asked me once but I got the feeling he was only inviting me because our cutesy intern was going. \n\nHe seems to be a bit of a flirt but when confronted he admits he's shy. I am at a loss as to what to make of this. Him being rather conservative in his own way doesn't open up all that well. I am beginning to feel rather fatigued having to work with him with all this ebbing in the background. Any suggestions?!

Back off a bit and see what he does.  If he doesnt seem to notice or actually seems relieved, forget it. But if he starts trying to talk to you more or continues flirting its worth a shot.  If you start focusing on other things it might just give him the push he needs to let you know how he feels. If not, it's probably better this way anyhow because getting involved with a colleague can be a mess.


Why can't USA change to metric system? to meters (unit of length), grams (unit of mass) and temperature.

some background:\n1866\n    The use of the metric system made legal (but not mandatory) in the United States by the (Kasson) Metric Act of 1866 (Public Law 39-183). This law also made it unlawful to refuse to trade or deal in metric quantities.\n1893\n    ..... metric prototypes were declared "fundamental standards of length and mass" in the Mendenhall Order. Since that date, the yard, pound, etc. have been officially defined in terms of the metric system.\n\nThis timeline, and more, can be found at http://lamar.colostate.edu/~hillger/dates.htm\n\nOur common units of miles, pounds and degrees fahrenheit are defined metricly. But still it's not how we in the U.S. think.\n\nWikipedia says:\n"Only France, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan have seen significant popular opposition to metrication, the main objections being based on tradition, aesthetics, economical impact and distaste for measures viewed as foreign."\n\nIt's the imp of the perverse.

Ok I have a new question for ya'll. I am considering the idea of hiring a attorney on a problem that I am having. The problem is that my boss calls us independent contractors, and pays non of our taxes. Instead we are suppossed to pay our taxes at the end of they year with a 1099 form and we dont get or use a w-2. The problem is that I think I am a employee and not an IC. He tells me when to be a work, where to do my work, how to do my work, and when to stop working. He provided a traing class for me and the others instructing us on how to do the job, the way he wanted it done. Now I thought that an IC gets to set their own schedule, doesnt work when they dont want to, and they are doing the job the way that they want to. He pays us with a buisness check, like cash, pays none of our taxes, such as social security, or federal, and he made us sign only one document at the time of hire. That was a document waiving our right to workmans comp. What do you all think? IC or employee in AZ?

IC all the way. Unless your contract/application was processed through the HR Dept. of the company and they "Welcomed" you to the company as a "Direct" hire then you are a Contract (1099) employee. The only reason you went through training and instructional programs was to familiarize you with their goals and wants. What would you do if it were your company???  \n\nWhen your boss did not withold any taxes throughout the year it should have been an awakening.  You should have witheld your own taxes. Simply because you were negligent...don't be stupid. You got bucks and need to pay some sort of bucks for taxes. Unfortunately I fell into this mess years ago.  I got smart and made a lot of money being a 1099er. Learn the rules and play the game .... take them to the cleaners. Good luck! And I really mean this!!!


dwindling natural supplies of fossil fuels or is this truly a sign that we are seeing the decline of humankinds ability to exist on this earth?

have faith in humanities willingness to survive, the depletion of fossil fuels is but a bump in the road, we may get a flat tire but surely the wheel will survive. Humanities ingenuity is probably its only saving grace. I would be more worried about the current state of international politics in regaurds to humanities ability to exist anywhere.....


I'd say lined, keeps everything nice, straight & organized.


he is very poor & have no any way to earn millions in very quik time

There are many different ways. Playing the lottery, reading self help books, applying for financial aid and going to college. It just depends on what he wants to do to get it done. There are really no quick ways to do this it takes time and patience so he shouldn't waste his money on those get rich quick schemes because they dont really work.  Or he could go into the real estate business buying cheap houses and cars that have been seized and foreclosed and fix them up and sell them for more so he can make a profit off of it.

if the money is not given to me can the lawyer be sued for putting the check in the other persons name without permission

If, under court ruling, the check is to be issued to you, however, it is issued to another party, then the lawyer is in legal troubles.\n\nIf, however, you are a minor, and the check is issued to your name but with a regent name of a guardian, then nope, can't sue.\n\nIf you gave permission at the outset of the case that the lawyer can turn the check over to a 3rd party for investment/storage use, then you can't sue.\n\nIf you didn't give any permission, and are a major (above the age of 18) and the lawyer signs the check over to someone else, and you have no access to the money, th en yes, that's a crime.


my ex signed off all custody of our child. he pays no support, has no visitation. i want to change her last name to my maiden name before she gets any older and remembers the last name she was originally given. i dont want her to go looking for him when she is older. how do i do this with limited funds in LaPorte, Indiana. I cant afford a lawyer to do it for me. thank you.

Let's resolve this overdue question by bringing it to a vote.


I've met women in bars, at bookstores, at the grocery store, but I can never tell if they're interested, or just being friendly. I suppose I could ask, but I don't want to feel foolish if I get shot down. I've heard that women have "subconcious" or concious habits that they have that show affection.

as a woman, i usually try to make conversation with guys that i am interested for future relationship, whatever it might be.\n\nso if the gurl that you are talking with is touchy with you; you know the touch in the arm or if you are in a club and she leans in really close to talk (lips ALMOST touching your ear) that means you have a shot with her. \n\nnow if she is just being polite and not interested in you. then the conversation that you are trying to have most likely going to be just one way, and that way is you. so if she is looking around the room instead of you. then move on. there are lots of women out there that will be interested in you.\n\nso dont waste your time on a woman, move on to another. good luck out there. hope i helped. =P


Would this not be against Gods will and if so how did they fill the world with people with out going against Gods will

Sure they did.  Things were different then.  God flooded the earth once to destroy wickedness, but he will not destroy it by flood again.  He is an unchangable being, but he changes the rules for men from time to time.  We no longer live by the law of Moses, for Christ fulfilled it.  Now we live by Christs law.  Likewise, we no longer marry our brothers and sisters.  That is something that has changed.\n\nScientifically, you might also consider that genes degrade over time.  As the human population has aged, our genes have also aged.  What once may have been an acceptable health practice (having children with brothers or sisters) is now dangerous.  There is a high liklyhood of miscarriage and of retardation in children parented by siblings.  Was this the case early in human history?  Maybe not.\n\nAlso, it is no longer socially acceptable.  We live in a world filled with people.  Adam and Eve were the only ones.  Was there a difference?  You bet.

Have you considered going back to school? Even picking up a few night classes here and ther ein areas you want help in works. Or possibly get a MBA or masters in another area that interests you. Nowadays, it is very common for people to go9 back to college after working for awhile, and it with the way technology is always changing, it would not hurt to get a few classes in to update yourself.


Please answer in full according to the great novel wuthring heights, and plz no spam , thank you

Catherine and Heathcliff's separation was a result of Heathcliff eavesdropping and overhearing Catherine confiding in Nelly. Catherine had gotten a marriage proposal from Edgar Linton and had accepted. She was trying to get Nelly's opinion if she had done the right thing. She knew her brother (and her parents, if they had still been alive) would have wanted her to marry as her status befitted her, yet she loved Heathcliff. He left mid-way through the conversation and overheard her say "It would degrade me to marry Heathcliff" and never heard her confess that she truly loved him.


I'd love to try yoga as it appears low impact. As an obese person though I wonder if this a practical alternative?

Absolutely! I'm overweight also and have found Yoga to be an excellent workout. It works on your muscles and helps you to tone them very quickly. It's much better for us due to less stress on the joints in our bodies. It's fairly low impact, but you still get a great workout!!!! You'll love it!

I've seen books and online programs that claim to improve eyesight

This is some health benefit to training your eyes if you have slightly imperfect vision, you may be able to correct it simply with exrecises. I have read biographies about people doing just that, but most people don't want to spend extra time each day exercising their eyes.


For example, what is norepinephrine's precursor?

There is no universal precursor.  The cathecholamines (dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine) can each be made from tyrosine.\n\nGlutamate and GABA, however, come from glutmate, glutamine, glutamic acid, or even possibly alpha keto glutartate (the body can interconvert all of these compounds).\n\nSerotonin and Melatonin can be made from tryptophan.\n\nI am not sure about any of the other neurotransmitters, but as you can see these are some of the major transmitters, and they have completley different precursors.

What store(s) are great and what is the worst in service and billing?

I like it since I have not had any bad experiences.  The best part is that there is a lot of variety so you can shop around several "virtual stores", compare prices, look at user reviews, user ratings, etc. and then make a smart choice.  Another advantage is that you can use a credit card and shipping is free for a lot of purchases.  During the holiday season, you also have online sales which can save you money.  You have to probably shop in reputed and secure online stores, so that you don't have to worry about service and billing.\n\nMy best experiences have been with amazon.com, ebay.com, and the online stores of Best Buy and Circuit City.  But these are personal experienecs.  Rule of thumb: Try to buy from websites certified by Verisign.


My hard drive for some reason, will not recognize my cd drives, I open my computer and they're not listed, just a drive, (floppy) and c drive,, no d or e drives, which are my cd rom and cd writer respectfully, when I load a cd in the cd rom, nothing happens, and my cd writer won't even open when you push the button. Now, my pc is old, bought in '99 runs windows 98, Both the cd rom and the cd writer USED to work, as recent as a couple of months ago,, is there some way I can make the hard drive recognize them,, or whatever,, without reformatting?

Ok let me get this straight. You open your machine up but you can't get what you want.......except for the floppy. When you try to load.......nothing happens. You can't get anything to happen when you push their buttons. Your equipment is old and antiquated. I think you asked this question in the WRONG category. Sounds like a question for the sex doctor. *wink* MUAH!!! Great to see you on here. :)


every now and then you get mad you treat me bad and it makes me sad...............kiss my #ss....... you talking to me like im dumb i should have known i should have left your #ss alone

What are the keys to opening/running a successful restaurant? I'd like to hear from other restaurant owners.

THE STAFF!!  I have worked in restaraunts since I was 15 and I must say that if your staff isnt GREAT CHIPPER UPBEAT And ready to deal with the JERKS that walk in then you restaraunt wont do well either!  You need to establish a 'regualr' customer base and really get the word out.  2/3 businesses dont make it past the first year due to going into the hole.  Make sure that you are prepared to losse money your first year in order to provide promotions and specials to the public to get them into the restaraunt.  Make sure that since this is your first atempt that you only hire experienced servers and cooks.  This will not be the place to train new employees!  Make sure to set a budget for each month and make sure that you stay within it!!  I helped open a restarant in St. Charles MO and they are now making a killing off the business so this is where I get my info from.  Make sure also that who you have doing to books and all is someone who you TRUST!!  Accounting is a huge part as well!!  Make sure that you like all of the food that you serve cause if you dont like it and you wont eat it chances are that the public wont either.  Any time that you try a new dish serve it as a specail once or twice a week for about a month to see what the responce is to it first.  Have your staff taste things as well they will be your most honest critics!!  Cause they wont want to serve something that they cant sell... you have to think that servers make money directly off of your products.\n\nOh and feel free to IM me at justone_girl on yahoo.

in star wars episode 3, why does general grievous cough?  Was he actually a jedi? What's his back story?

My family is always arguing and my dad(single parent) sucks..He's always scolding me and my siblings..Blaming us for everything!Even in tiny little matters.I just feel really sucky that i have to stick to him just because he has to support me.If i had a chance i would go away as far as possible from him.

the  best will be talk to your father clearly. talk in a cool enviornment, afterall he is your father. try to understand his problem, his state of mind. try your  best to understand him. might be he is feeling lonely. if things does not go well then be sepearate and independent and  live life alone. BUT FIRST TRY YOUR BEST THAT THINGS GET SOLOVED AND YOUR FATHER BEHAVES NORMAL... GIVE HIM TIME AND LISTEN HIM... ALL THE BEST.


My ex-boyfriend's sister and i used to be really close. I was the maid of honor in her wedding, etc. i lent her a dress about a year ago, a very expensive dress. She and i no longer talk because her brother was cheating on me with a girl she hooked him up with. She no longer has the same phone number or address. I have spoken with my ex-boyfriend, and he has asked her for the dress. She claims that she doesn't know what dress. My ex-boyfriend refuses to give me her address or phone number so that i can have my property returned to me. I don't want any drama, i just want my dress back. Any advice?

Is it worth the hassle?\n\nYou will have to take her to court and prove that you loaned it to her.  You have any witness that saw you tell her it was loan?  It is very hard to prove since she could say you gave it to her and just want it back because her brother broke up with you.\n\nThis is just a life lesson.  Forget about the dress.


I recently got off of 'the shot' and replaced that with an iud.  I was just curious if anyone out there has a similar experience and how did it work out for you?

Wow, is it possible he is gay? Maybe you are unattractive to him and he doesn't have the heart? Also you need to find out if he is cheating on you and doesn't have the energy when he comes home. And lastly, maybe he is having a sexual problem such as unable to get erection or an STD... and is trying to hide it from you

I have PTSD and I've found that I have to have the radio and TV on all the time, even when I try to sleep.

Don't wanna work in fast food, retail, etc... (or be a stripper)

I was that way too, I never found a job and now I work at a callcenter, LoL.  You could always start an online business of sorts, or open an ebay shop?

i didnt graduate high school, only completed the 10th grade. i'm 38 years old and dont have much skills to look for a job. i've been a housewife most of my life.

Call your local high school and tell them you want to go back. That will be a great place to start. They will be able to tell you how to get your diploma or GED. I think its great you want to go back !!!!!!


I have been bleaching my hair, but have been under a lot of stress, looking for a job, my mom being sick, trying to build my life after divorice.  I am 62 years old, in good shape, but also, have gained an extra 14 lbs.  I used to walk 5 miles 3 times a week, but not for at least 4 months. I am eating a lot of fish and fruit, but also a lot of sweets. My hair has always been strong, I am taking vitimans for the last month as well.  I had breast cancer at 51, and only lost a little bit of my hair, is it my age, or stress?  This is really bothering me. Thank you for you answers, and suggestions.

The stress you are undergoing is very likely to be causing your hair problems.


I am trying to determine whether a family member is having withdrawals or other problems before I seek help from a professional.

You did not say whether this person was a daily user or a recreational drug user. Are they using other drugs also? Do they use marijuana concurrently with alcoholic beverages? Marijuana in itself is not physically addicting. Behavioral mechanisms and social elements of lifestyle contribute to the perception of "withdrawal." What prompted the individual to stop? Was it a life changing circumstance, social or economic pressure, or other compelling factors? Yes there will be anxiety from not having the familiar "high" and professional help in the way of counseling and medication may be needed. Seek advice from a trained professional.

Is there a rpm or easy way to install the driver for D-Link DWL-650 (M1) wireless adapter card on linux(fedora, kernel 2.6.9)?\nThanks.

The D-Link website links to a driver. And they seem to be for Fedora. :-) (Of course, it really doesn't make much of a difference. Linux is Linux, regardless of distro)\n-----\nIf that doesn't work, and, assuming your card is Atheros-based, like my D-Link card (which, looking at a Google, it seems to be Atheros) you'll want the madwifi-driver.\n\nFedora's yum should have madwifi, as it's fairly common...\n\nBut you'll want to first make sure that your Cardbus is actually reading your card. (I had a problem with that.)\n\nJust plug in the card and type (as root) lspci.\nYou should have an entry with Atheros or D-Link or wireless or something like that.\n\nIf not, you'll first want to deal with that... the card won't work with any driver if the kernel doesn't know about it. :-)\n\nIn that case, the third link may help. (Texas Instruments Cardbus things are screwy) Warning: It does have some Gentoo-specific bits.\n\nIf none of that works or isn't Fedora-specific enough... I found a Fedora Core forum that may help. (Linux forums offer great support.)

Well i dont have money(thats why i post this anyway but i have much time to spend and a blog xexe.\nSo plzzzzz tellme how can i do it cause i know it can be done

This is NOT simple but I think it can be done and I am trying myself. Realize that there are thousands of competitors out there and you need to find a way to claw your way to the top, or at least close enough to reach your goal.\n\nThe good part is there is LOTS of free information online to help you. Do some searches on blogging, niches, seo, promotion and other topics that come to light as you proceed. Study what you find free and don't be afraid to experiment. I am taking a free 10 day course that has helped me a lot so far. The object is to try and sell you on an some expensive information, but the course still gives you a lot for free.

In astronomy, a syzygy (Greek: "yoked together") is a situation where three celestial bodies are positioned along a straight line.

Considering the focus of early civilization on astronomy, it almost certainly was a planetary alignment, or possibly Jupiter in retrograde motion, which moves extremely fast and in a definite direction, and for the approximate length of time of the wise men's journey.


Well personally i think the only way you wouldnt get caught is by not actually caring about what happens if you do. So when she asks you about it or starts to feel insecure about it you will actually be able to lie straight to her face and into her eyes as if nothing has or nothing ever will happen. you will have that same look as when you tell her how you feel about her.If she loves you this will work and if it does i suggest asking for a divorce since you obviously dont love her.

With so much talk about the holidays, I was wondering.... What does Kwanza mean? What does the observance signify?

Kwanzaa is an African American holiday celebrated by millions.It is the fastest growing holiday in the US.\n\nKwanzaa celebrates family, community and culture, belonging to the most ancient tradition in the world, the African tradition.\nThe holiday was created by Dr. Maulaua Karenga, a scholar-activist who is a professor at Cal State in Long Beach CA\nThe word KWANZAA comes from the Swahili phrase "matunda ya kwanza" which means "first fruits."\n A celebration of seven days from Dec 26th through Jan 1st. the time in African culture is called "the time when the edges of the year meet"\nI myself find this to be a tradition that could be followed by many cultures. I learned about this myself a few years ago when it appeared as a big thing all of a sudden in the news, too bad something so good has to get press to be heard...

For different people, life is worth different things...for some, it means having a successful marriage, or having a healthy and happy family, or having successful children, or having a huge house with an expensive car or being on everyone's A-list or having a high-powered job...the list goes on and on. Each individual has to figure out what his/her purpose in life is and try to fulfill it.

WHEN YOU BUY THINGS OFF THE INTERNET CAN YOU PAY BY MONEY ORDER THAN BY CREDIT CARD BECAUSE I DON'T OWN A CREDIT CARD

A debit card can be used like a credit card if you have one.  Have you tried shopping on EBAY?  Most people on there let you use money orders or personal checks.  And believe me, you can find anything for sale!  New as well as used.


They wanted to impeach President Clintoon for lying about having sex and his lie only hurt his family. Bush's lie about weapons of mass destruction has cost thousands of Americans' their lives.

Its all about the wording.  This administration has been very good at one thing - Words.  They decide to give big business freedom to pollute and call it, "Clear Skies".  They help the logging industry destroy millions of acres by starting the, "Healthy Forests Plan".  This war had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMD.  This administration had plans to invade Iraq long before it ever came to office.  15 of the 19 terrorist were from Saudi Arabi and the terrorist camps were in Afganistan.


is it possible to do chat application using asp.net without database

You may use the "Application" object to store string arrays or a list of "chat instance" objects which in turn may have their chat transcripts.\nThe short answer is YES but:\n1) As you would be storing data on server memory (state as we call that), you will produce "affinity" that's you will not be able to host your site on more than one computer at a time. This may become a scalability problem.\n2) Be careful when writting to the Application object, because it may be accessed by different threads at a time, so you have to Application.Lock and Unlock as needed.


dolomite is a mineral in making magnesium

You are refering to the Pidgeon process, which was developed during WW 2 to satisfy war needs for magnesium, but is still used today. \n\nI quote:\n"By far the most used raw material is mined dolomite, a mixed (Ca,Mg)CO3, where the calcium oxide present in the reaction zone scavenges the silica formed, releasing heat and consuming one of the products, thus helping push the equilibrium to the right.\n\n    (Ca,Mg)CO3 (s) → CaO.MgO(s)+ CO2(g) (dolomite calcining)\n    (Fe,Si)(s) + MgO(s) ↔ Fe(s) + SiO2(s) + Mg(g)\n    CaO + SiO2 → CaSiO3\n\nThe Pidgeon process is a batch process in which finely powdered calcined dolomite and ferrosilicon are mixed, briquetted, and charged retorts of made of nickel-chrome-steel alloy. The hot reaction zone portion of the retort is either gasfired, coalfired, or electrically heated in a furnace, while the condensing section equipped with removable baffles extends from the furnace and is water-cooled. Due to distillation, very high purity magnesium crowns are produced, which are then remelted and cast into ingots."


Apart from using the superscript tag mentioned above, I also suggest you using the sort of "codes" in your HTML. For example, you can use:\n\n    \n    \n
Welcome to the WalkFast & trade; Service!
\n    \n    \n\nIn the code, the string "& trade;" stands for the TM symbol. You can use it in a sentence without adding further tags. Note that the semi-colon can be omitted, i.e. "& trade" in fact is equivalent to "& trade;". But if you find not adding the semi-colon doesn't work, (usually it happens when a few symbols of this kind are put together) you can just add back the semi-colons and the problem will go.\n\nFor your convenience, "& copy;" is the copyright symbol © and "& reg;" is the registered symbol ®. Try it on your own HTML page.\n\nActually, instead of typing the description of symbol, the character number can also be used, e.g. "&176;" which is equivalent to "& deg;" means the same thing: degree sign (°). More on that from the source linked below.\n\n***NOTE***  When actually using please remove the little space between the ampersand and the description. It was given here because the codes automatically change into actual symbols when I submit the answer.

I have a Maxtor 160GB SATA HDD with 8MB buffer at 7200RPM...  If I wanted to get another drive to stripe them together would I have to get the EXACT same drive?  Or what parameters can be different between the drives?

It doesn't have to be the EXACT same drive.  In reality it doesn't even have to be the same size.  BUT it is recommended they be the same type/size for best performance and to eliminate "waste".  What does need to be identical is the partition sizes on both drives. Another 7200rpm 160MB SATA HDD would be recommended in your case.


I didn't understand the web2.0,can you please answer the question?

Good question! Like many bits of internet jargon or buzzwords, the "Web 2.0" title is thrown about without much thought. The Wikipedia article below suggests that for a website to be "web 2.0" it has to provide functionality. a page of text and graphics is Web 1.0, but a page that looks and acts like a word processor might be Web 2.0.\n\nWell-known examples of Web 2.0 are Gmail and Yahoo's own Flickr (links to both below).\n\nIn practice, since Web 2.0 is a title given by web designers it is more to do with the underlying technology. AJAX is often seen as a important part of this. AJAX is just a fancy way of saying that information is passed to and from the web browser using Javascript rather than HTML. This allows web pages to reconfigure themselves seemingly instantly, and gives them a more 'active' look - sections of a page can be made to change colour, be reorganised, etc, rather than just being static. To use my previous example of a word processor, this is important as you wouldn't want to wait 10 seconds just to push 'bold' on the icon bar.\n\nFinally, Web 2.0 is considered by some to be the way in which these individual services and data stores can now intract with each other. This is also known as a mashup. (see below). Without getting too technical, web services can 'talk' to each other. The theory here is that each individual web service becomes much more useful when combined with others. My personal favourite of these is where the encyclopedia (wikipedia) and the map (google maps) are merged to make a service where you move a map to find information about the places it contains (placeopedia). \n\nThere aren't any really new technologies in Web 2.0 - it's just using them together, faster, that's the key.


She is age 21, about 98 pounds, very little body fat, eats a healthy balanced diet, and does medium exercise once a day.

To gain weight in a healthy manner there are a few options:\n\n1.) You can eat more. There are some weight gainer formula shakes which can be taken daily.\n\n2.) You can exercise more.\n\n3.) a combonation of both. \n\nFrom personal experience I recommend #3. I used to weigh only 140 at 5'11" and now weight 185. If your wife is excercising regularly make sure she is not doing too much cardio. Cardio is the ultimate weight reducer. Even one cardio session can have a lasting effect on how energy gets metabolized. Muscle is denser than fat so the goal is to keep and build as much muscle as possible. (without looking like a freak of nature). Couple that with some extra protien foods like eggs and shakes and you have a good combo at hand.

I need pictures for a project that show how flowers absorb water through the stems. I would like the process it goes through

Flowers drink water with a capillary action.  Capillary action happens when water molecules are more attracted to the surface they travel along than to each other. In paper towels, the molecules move along tiny fibers. In plants, they move through narrow tubes that are actually called capillaries. Plants couldn't survive without capillaries because they use the water to make their food.  There is an experiement you can try at the link below.


I have never done one before - not even a marathon.

I think that one of the best tips is... join a team. This way you will get all the information you need (and from pro) as well as friends to share the long training sessions that are needed.


Politics aside, I want a serious answer.  George W. Bush and Bill Clinton can not be considered because it is too soon to see their historical impact.

It is not too soon for Clinton. His impact has left us in a terrible pickle. Several acts of war, bombing the World Trade Center, the Cole, the Embassy--and he did nothing. As a result? 9/11. Forcing Israel to play nice with Arafat. More Israelis died under his watch than all the wars Israel fought for its freedom. All this is documented and its not too early to see his impact.\n\nI looked back on Carter, and yes, he really made some bone moves. I remember the gas lines, and dealing with the hostages for MONTHS and the failed rescue attempt. Both these guys knew nothing about dealing with terrorists. They could have learned alot from Israel during that time.\n\nI did some research, and thought there were decisions made here and there by other presidents that might not have been that great, the two above pale in comparison.

just do like the rest of us that have that problem, keep it inside.\nbottel it up then one day just go up to a stranger and start yelling at them.\nif u pick the right kind of person they`ll just look at you.


i feel a cold coming on and can't get sick before this weekend...how can i get rid of this???

ZINC!  Zinc lozenges diminish the effects of a cold, and if you take them at your first symptoms, you can fight back the cold altogether.  I find that that lots of OJ or vitamin C supplements and a good sauna help also.


but u have to deal with this person like a baby mother.

the best way to deal with a person is to figure out whether or not you actually like them, despite how they think.  are they a good person at heart?\n\na person sometimes cannot help their ignorances.  i grew up in a small, conservative, and nasT racist town.  therefore, after i moved to a nice mixed community, i sometimes come across as insensitive to those who aren't like me.  it's not that i harbor any resentment WHATSOEVER of anyone based on anything save for how they treat me!  it's just that i never learned when i was a child of the things that are appropriate to discuss.  if the person in question is open to new ideas, then you should remain around them, and not look down upon them.  help them see other points of view, if it's within your capacity.. and if not, direct them to those who can.  \n\nlooking down on a person just because you THINK they're of lower consciousness than you is borderline prejuduice.


And I mean like a real addiction, like drugs or alchohol.?

Anything can be addictive if it starts to alter your life.\n\nFood is can be an addiction for some people.  Totally legal, but it can change your life.\n\nGambling could be addictive for some.\n\nCutting.\n\nSex.\n\nCheating.\n\nIt is all about personalities.  Some people have addictive personalities.  They have to be aware of their personality and work with it and not get addicted to any one thing.


I'm starting a business and I wanna do some market research. Are there any good internet resources I don't know about? ANything at all is good.

Research yourself first.  A new business must come from something internal encompassing things, or at least some things, that you love.
