For those of you who don't know the term, the Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in a hostage, in which the hostage exhibits seeming loyalty to the hostage-taker, in spite of the danger (or at least risk) the hostage has been put in.\n\nMy theory is thus: As a country, the American people are under near constant bombardment by the forces of religion and government, both seeking control over our minds. The fanatical, unshakable mania that grips the christians and the "Amerika: Love it or Leave It" types is caused by the same psychological factors as Stockholm syndrome.\n\nNotice that the same symptoms tend to appear together in the same victims. The lower the intellect and education of the victim, the more likely they are to succumb. The systematic conditioning and abuse by both church and state leads to an unquestioning love and devotion of one or both abusers.\n\nNot sure I've stated myself as well as I could, but hopefully the bright ones will grok it. ;)

that is so true. i hadn't even thought of the stockholm syndrome route. they do seem to exhibit classic symptoms though. good show lol.

HYPOTHETICAL QUESTION :\n\nWhat would you do if you found out that your boss (proprietor of the company you work in) that you've been working with for years and years, pays you well , offers you good retirement, and helped you out in so many ways turned out to be an illgal immigrant? Would you look at them any different?

Yes, i would look at him different. I would think that if he can do it, why can't any American. this country is based on capitalism and if he's achieved his own piece of the pie then he has accomplished something that only some Americans can dream of. If Americans are mad at him for his hard work and success, then their just haters and envious because someone other than themselves has accomplished. i would lose no respect and i would treat him as the person he is and no different.


well, we learned what a real 'Religion of Peace' can accomplish with just a few airplanes, two modern office towers, an aging government building, a field in Pennsylvania and over 3000 innocent people!


They have to be fenced in. It's state law. Plus it just makes good sense. If you don't have a fence around the pool, little kids can wander in and drown. I don't know what the height restrictions are, but I'm sure a good fencing company can tell you.


A guy walked into a bar in Alabama and ordered a white wine. Everybody sitting around the bar looked up, expecting to see some pitiful Yankee queer. \nThe bartender looked up and said, "You ain't from around here, are ya? Where ya from, boy?" \nThe guy said, "I'm from Iowa." \nThe bartender asked, "What the heck you do in Iowa?" \nThe guy responded, "I'm a taxidermist." \nThe bartender asked, "Now just what the heck is a taxidermist?" \nThe guy said nervously, "I mount and stuff animals." \nThe bartender grinned and shouted out to the whole bar, "It's okay boys, he's one of us! "

Are people in Alabama so twisted?\n\nAnyway, it's very funny.


Every since "Valley Girl" people now use terms like (lol)\n\nShe was, like, no way! \nHe was like, I'll be there in five minutes. \nSo I'm like, what are you talking about?  \n\nWhen will it end?

It's what they call in english a "filler".\n\nA word someone uses in a conversation when they have to pause, or have to think about what they are saying next.  It's the valley girl equivalent to "Umm" "Hum"  "Err" etc


He is really famous in Israel...this "guy" interviews all the big-names movie stars and celebs. And that is the name his parents gave him! Is that the funniest name in the world or what?

There's a guy in my town named Dick Weiner and he lives on Wood St.  I'm dead serious.


What about the other illegal immigrants who do not take advantage of the FREEBIES the governement is throwing at them? the one who are educated and speak english? the ones that became americanized but lack the nationality? the ones who came here legally but overstayed? the ones who have friends here and family? the ones who didn't visit their country of birth in years? the ones who LOVE and want to be part of America?  Do we tell them to go back home 'cause they are different?  \n\nI have friends who are in that position, and I don't think it's fair to give them the boot and let someone who doesn't even speak english stay here 'cause he's been here for over 5 years.

If they wanted to be a part of America bad enough they would've not disrespected us and broke the law by sneaking over the border. Illegals need to be deported.


I'm sending mail to my Ex-Friend. he is not replying me. i'm not sure he is viewing or not. is there any way to know that wether he opened our mail or not.

As such, any normal email system like yahoo or gmail does not allow users to get a status on whether the email was read or no...What you can do is register for specialized services like "didtheyreadit.com" where - they track 10 emails free of charge for you.You can come to know, how many times your email was read, and when...You can also try a software called mailinfo - which is free and works by attaching an image on to your email,which when downloaded, gives you an idea as to when your email was read...unfortunately in this case, the receiver is notified that you are using mailinfo... :)

Do you like the colour scheme, layout, navigation?\nCan it be improved in any way?\nDo you like the logo and branding?

First of all, I have been an ebay user for 5+ years. I am so used to its interface now, honestly, any big layout changes will make me mad.  For a frequent user, the fancy or modern UI doesn't matter. New functionality however is different and will be appreciated. For example, I wish they have a way to sort or filter on the shipping cost, or make their system more reliable without regular maintenance breakdown every once a while.\n\nThe mutl-color eBay is one of most recognizable icons on the internet, live and fun.

I am being sued. Sheriff took the papers to moms house and left it on her door with a rubber band. I don't live there anymore. My mom took papers back to sheriff and said I don't live there. Sheriff said that would be fine. What happens now?\n\nWill it go back to the company or what? Will they issue a new one? So what happens now? Will they deliver one to my Apartment? \n\nand..aren't they supposed to deliver it right to you and not leave it on your door? Thats what a superior court judge told me.

Sadly, the tv and film version of someone walking up to you, asking your name and placing it in your hand "you've been served" is no longer required in many states.\n\nThe Sheriff is probably going by the address the company provided or by address you are registered to vote.\n\nA new one will probably be issued and some attempt to track you down.  If it is left on your door (or registered mail) you are probably notified under that state law.  Don't sign for any letters in the near future.


I just had a rotten call from some girl I could hardly understand and I want OFF of the telemarketer's lists!\nI have heard there's a website where you can do this - can anyone help me out?\n\n(I've put this question under "Mental Health" because my mental health is suffering from these stupid annoying and persistent phone calls!)

There is a list here: http://www.adma.com.au/asp/index.asp?pgid=1999.\nHowever this list is voluntary and only used by members of ADMA so it's not the same as the list they now have in the USA, which is run by the government and every company has to comply, however most telemarketers  (all the ones that use automatic dialers) have a "Do not call list", so you can ask to be put on that. Of course that only gets you of the list for that one company. Another way to deal with it is to get caller ID. Telemarketers always show up as "Unknown" or something to that effect, so stop answering calls that show "Unknown". \n\nAnother thing you can do is buy a device to stop telemarketers. The way that works is when you get connected it pulses out sounds that simulate a disconnected number, so the dialer categorizes your number as such and will never dial it again.

i just wanted to know because i'm a die hard red sox fan!!!!!!!!! but my friend hate the red sox she love the yankeen so i want to know why the yankeen hate the red sox sooo much???????????:?

I'd have to agree with these other folks; the Red Sox (fans) hate the Yankees more, but the Yankees (fans) return the favor. There is some jealousy involved, some natural geographic rivalry (2nd most hated team by Yankees fans: Mets), and the long standing Babe Ruth grudge. If you watch the games, when Red Sox runners are at first, Giambi is chatting away to them, the same for Yankee runners gabbing with Youklis. The players are professionals, the fans are rabid. There is always big talk about the Yankees payroll (198 mill.), but the Red Sox are 2nd with 124 million, which is more than double that of 15 other teams, so that is relative.\n\nI hate the Red Sox because I am a Yankee fan; I was brought up that way. Members of Red Sox Nation were brought up that way, too.

why do they support the isreali treatment of palestinians, force there version of democracy on to others with violence in iraq, afganistan and south america and even there own people of colour? for a country that when founded classed black people as property to be sold, raped and murdered they can not really claim the moral high ground can they?

Because they're totally hypocritical bar-stewards, that's why!!\n\nTHAT is why 2 of your previous repliers have chosen to insult your spelling, instead of answering your question!

ladies that do not want to fix eyelashes do apply paints used on fingernails on thier eyelashes in order to make it stands out and firm. doesn't this do any damage to the eyes?

Yes- for god's sake don't do that. How were you intending to take it off- rip your eyelashes out or put acetone near them. God! Buy some mascara, quickly. Even fake eyelashes (with their own special application glue) are an option.


We all have good imaginations right? so here is a question. Say we could travel out past the most distant galaxy, beyond the last star,  and well into the darkness of the void. Turning around what would we see? What does the universe look like from the perspective of being on the outside of it?

The universe encloses all the stars and galaxies...so the answer is...we would see the universe. By the way, if I was that far out there and looking back, I'd be worried about what was sneaking up behind me.


my engg exams got over 15 days ago.i am really bored i have nothing to do .Can anyone suggest me something,so that i can make productive use of my time

I've searched through yahoo search "bored sites" and compiled a list of the most recommended and best sites people recommend for boredom:\nhttp://www.jimmyr.com/bored.php


I work in a retail store.  I like to greet customers, but I don't want to say the same thing all the time.

Learn greetings in different language for example in Hindi they say 'Namaste', in arabic 'Salaam Walekum' and 'Vankam' in one of the south Indian language. Now if you know the place from your customer you can greet in his/her local language. If you do not know then greet in any language and they will ask what that mean so conversation will start and it will be nice to understand your customer.


For the past years of my school life, I have watched my friends get girls, have fun, and have a good time.  In the meantime, I have sat back and watched, too passive and shy to do anything.  Now, I feel ready to explode.  People don't care about me at school, they feel they can push me around.  This has made me really depressed and angry.  I just feel like the next thing mean someone says to me, I should just punch them in the face; which I know is stupid.  I feel so lost and confused.  If you have any comments please post; I really need to resolve this issue.

you need to talk to a conselor or a close friend or member of your family. try hanging out with people from other schools. see if that helps.


I want a very detailed response as well as reliable sources

Some people seem to have the inate ability to figure out the day of the week at any point in time, either the future or the past by recognizing the pattern. Often it is an idiot savant that is possesing of this ability.  That is a person who is capable of not much more than this strange talent.  These people are called calendar savants. The third source explains "how" some of these people are able to do this.

Cy Young's 511 career wins. In the modern era 300 wins is considered a lock for the hall of fame. Just think, it would take 20 seasons of 25 wins to reach 500... then you're still another half season away. The active player closest to him - Roger Clemens with 341 wins. He'd have to pitch 8 more 20+ win seasons to get there. It'll never be broken.


I'm 22.  I've been asked out before, but no one special yet. Am I too picky?\n\nI asked this a few minutes ago, but I left out a word that made the question confusing.  Sorry about that...

Are you a fan of a America's Next Top Model? I am and I want to know if you think they should of kicked Nnenna off ?

I have been a fan of ANTM since the beginning. This cycle has been the most enjoyable. Nnenna was indeed a top contender. I think the problem was that she started off really strong, and it was difficult for her to improve each week.The other girls improvements were gradual so they made a stronger impact. This is not the last we are going to be seeing of Nnenna!

Just started using the new lacy ones with the thin pads and they are terrific! What other ladies are using them now?\n- Hold in place, don't move around like stick ons in your panties.\n- Won't kill you. 1200 women died in 2005 from tampon use.\n- Fits closer to the body, held UP by the comfy belt.\n- Won't stick to your pubes (ouch!) like the stickies\n- Won't stick to itself and fold up.\n- Feels and fits like a thong, shows no lines under clothes.\n- Pads are thin and made special to fit the belt.\n- Belts come in sizes and colors now - like lingerie\n- Great under pantyhose w/o undies - esp. in summer.\nWould love to hear from other women using them. They sell them like crazy on ebay.

Didn't know they had them anymore.  I hated them very much when I was young, everytime you walked the pads would crawl to the back of you, and you'd be walking around with a tail sticking out in back.  The sticky ones nowadays is much preferred to the belts of yesteryear.

what is you view on abortion? and would you like to see roe .v. wade overturned?????

As a woman, it shames me to see the double standard women have set for themselves. "We want equality. We want power. Etc., etc., etc." Women talk about how strong, capable, intelligent they are, how they don't need a man's help.\n\nThen they "forget" to use birth control. Or they think "It won't happen to me." And then what?  They blame the father and then they kill their unborn children for their mistakes. \n\nIf you're a mature, responsible woman, use birth control if you want sexual intimacy without consequences. I've been the unwed pregnant teen. I wouldn't trade my (now grown) daughter for anything in this world.


he called the day b4 my bday, but he didnt call on my birthday and i didnt speak to him for a wk, and when we spoke we got into a fight and he was mad at me cos he said he had no money and that he was going thru stuff. now my friends, sisters dont really see him the same way they used to, they used to like him now they think he is aliar and he is playing me, he tells me dat he loves me, plus he'soonleaving for a different college,do u think he really likes me or he is plying games. he also wants me to believe that a long distance relationship will wrk when he leaves for college but i dont believe him especially wit all this that happened recently, but he tells me that i will be surprised by him.

wow. well it could be a couple of things. it could be that he was really broke. and as a guy the feeling of not being able to provide a gift is not a good feeling. i could see where it might leave him feeling ashamed. that being said he still could've called. and he still could've spent time with u. or it could be that he has another chick and doesn't give to $hits about u. only u know the truth.\n\nLong distance relationships almost never work. in the rare case when the people involved have the wherewithal to travel often, as in a couple of times a month, to be with their partner it can. i doubt that'd be the case with the 2 of u.


i really like this boy but he said he would go out w/ me cuz im white or any white gir im not im mexicana. just light complected...and u know what made me really mad he went out with a girl thats white but dark and she dont even know ANY spanish

DONT WASTE UR TIME BCUZ THEY WILL BREAK UR HEART!!! :'-( TRUST ME IT SUCKS SO BAD!!!


Hello Jim Rome,\n\nHope everything is fine with you, and want you to keep up the good work.\nI was watching your shows today (May, 04 2006) when one of your guests ("the bullets" fan!) mentioned that 714 were is magical number. It hits me that a lot of people are looking at 714 as the home runs record while Aaron have 755, my thought is people should be more careful and respectful of the real record here, I have never seen this much frenzy about a second place record ever and I believe that we have witnesses something similar in the NBA without making too much noises. I don’t want to suggest that it is a race issue but it surely smells like it to me.\n\nPlacid, A fan from the East Bay Area,

I think most people respect Babe Ruth more than Hank Aaron.  Not only because Ruth is white, but he is a truly monster.  He hit far homeruns, he produces homeruns very frequently (only McGuire and Bonds have better at-bat ratio, but you know...).  He was even a great pitcher.  Anyway, Babe Ruth is a special player, special in many ways.  Ask people about greatest hitter in the history, Babe Ruth would get most of the votes.  Hank Aaron probably would get less votes than Willy Mays, or Micky Mentles.


ured, but I find it not only insulting to the rest of the England team to suggest they have no chance of winning without him, but it can't do their morale much good. He is 1 of a team, not playing a singles match. I sincerely hope he recovers enough to play for us but I'm sure the rest of the team will be doing their utmost to win every match whether he gets fit enough to play or not. Come on England do your best, as my old mum used to say, even an Angel can't do more. Heres one who will be shouting for you.

Dude its always correct to think England should mature up as a team. But you cant win a match without a striker can you, as Michael Owen is injured too and Rooney who is considered as having the caliber of Pele too hits the ground. Moreover there is no better replacement for Rooney in the whole country. Try thinking that way.


Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have discovered the world's strongest acid. Remarkably it is also the gentlest acid. This non-toxic and non-corrosive acid may have a role in processes such as improving the quality of gasoline, developing polymers and synthesising pharmaceuticals.\n\nHow can an acid be both strong and gentle? The answer lies in the way chemists define the strength of an acid. Acid strength is the ability of an acid to add a hydrogen ion (H+) to basic molecules. On the other hand, corrosiveness has a lot to do with the nature of the negatively charged part of an acid that always accompanies H+.\n\nFor example, hydrofluoric acid (HF) dissolves glass because the fluoride (F-) part of the acid attacks the silicon atom in silica glass at the same time that H+ attacks an oxygen atom, according to UC Riverside Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, Christopher Reed, one of the authors of the findings.\n\nAnother example is the choice of an acid to clean lime deposits from inside a copper kettle, he pointed out. The wise homeowner chooses hydrochloric acid not nitric acid because the chlorine part of hydrochloric acid does not attack copper whereas the nitrate part of nitric acid would dissolve the kettle in a mess of toxic brown fumes.\n\nThe findings were published in Angewandte Chemie in a paper titled 'The Strongest Isolable Acid', co-authored with Reed, UCR Colleagues Mark Juhasz, Stephan Hoffmann and Kee-Chan Kim, and Evgenii Stoyanov of the Boreskov Institute of Catalysis in Novosibirsk, Russia.\n\nThe new 'strong-yet-gentle' acids are called carborane acids. The secret to their strength is twofold. Most importantly, the carborane part of the acid is an extremely weak base (ie, weakly alkaline), and carboranes have extraordinary chemical stability.\n\nThey have an icosahedral arrangement of eleven boron atoms plus one carbon atom, which is probably the most chemically stable cluster of atoms in all of chemistry, according to Reed. This means that the carborane part of the acid cannot participate in the chemistry of corrosion and decomposition that fluoride and nitrate show in hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid. As a result, carborane acids can add hydrogen ions to weakly basic molecules without destroying the often delicate positively charged molecules that are formed. This is the essence of their strong-yet-gentle qualities, Reed added.\n\nExamples of molecules that add a hydrogen ion and are stabilised with a carborane as the negatively charged part of the product include benzene to give benzenium ion, C60 to give 'protonated buckyball,' and alkenes to give carbocations.\n\nNone of these positively charged molecules had been 'put in a bottle' at room temperature before because the acids used previously would decompose them. The strong-yet-gentle carborane acids overcome this difficulty, allowing chemists to take a closer look at important molecules whose existence was typically fleeting, Reed said. Acidified molecules are important short-lived intermediates in a huge variety of acid-catalysed chemical transformations including the digestion of food, gasoline improvement, polymer formation and the synthesis of pharmaceuticals.\n\nHow strong are carborane acids? The strongest one is at least a million times stronger than concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and hundreds of times stronger than the previous record holder, fluorosulfuric acid (HFSO3).

need more detail of styrofoam for my task

Styrofoam is made of (drumroll, please) polystyrene. For about as much information as you could possibly want on polystyrene, check out the Polystyrene Packaging Council. There, you'll find general facts, production information, tips on recycling, and articles trumpeting polystyrene's low impact on the environment. \n\nPolystyrene Packaging Council:\nhttp://www.polystyrene.org/\n\n\nStyrofoam ® is a  Dow Chemical Co. trademarked form of  polystyrene foam insulation, introduced in the U.S. in 1954. Styrofoam® is a trademarked name, the real name of the product is foamed polystyrene. \n\nRay McIntire invented Styrofoam for the Dow Chemical Co.. McIntire said his invention of foamed polystyrene was accidental. His invention came as he was trying to find a flexible electrical insulator around the time of World War II. Polystyrene, which already had been invented, was a good insulator but too brittle. McIntire tried to make a new rubber-like polymer by combining styrene with isobutylene, a volatile liquid, under pressure. The result was a foam polystyrene with bubble, 30 times lighter than regular polystyrene. source The Detroit News \n\nhttp://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/blpolystyrene.htm

HAS ANYBODY HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE BILL PASSING OR NOT TODAY IS THE IMMIGRANTS ABLE TO STAY AND IF SO WHAT KIND OF PAPERS ARE THEY GOING TO GET TO PROVE THAT THEY ARE ABLE TO STAY.

The Senate has passed an immigration bill that would give amnesty to illegal aliens.  However, the House passed a bill that would toughen enforcement of existing laws.  The two bills are moons apart, so it's unlikely they'll agree on immigration policy.  In my opinion, I hope the House doesn't cave -- rewarding law breakers is just insanity.


A random sample of 240 large companies indicated that 96 of them provided on-site health club facilities for their employees.  Find a 90% confidence interval for the population proportion of large companies that provide on-site health facilities.\n    (A) 85.00 to 108.00\n    (B) 95.60 to 96.40\n    (C) 0.32 to 0.48\n    (D) 0.35 to 0.45

it is C as in use the formula for CI for one sample proprtion from your book(i better get the best answer choice cause this is the fifth one i am answering)\nand the above guy is a moron

I want a software that can split parts of a DVD (VOB) file to AVI or MPEG...

If you have a MPEG or AVI file that you want to split up - for instance just to upload a small taster sample to a website, then things couldn't be easier - with XP you can do so for free.\nSimply load up Windows Movie Maker, and load up your MPEG or AVI.\nLet's say you want to just have the first minute of a five minute piece of film... easy!\nOnce loaded, fast forward to the place where you want to cut, and click the icon (usually in the bottom right) 'split in two at this point'. And there you go - you have two sections - simply discard the bit you don't want to keep and save the other!\nTip: add a fade out to both sound and video tracks over the last few seconds of the clip to make it seem more professional and make the stop less abrupt.


I am reading The DaVinci Code and it mentions the Opus Dei organization a lot. He depicts the Opus Dei to be a bad organization. Are they?

The Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei, commonly known as Opus Dei (Latin for "The Work of God") or the Work, is an international prelature of the Roman Catholic Church. Opus Dei was founded in 1928 by Roman Catholic priest Josemaría Escrivá. In 1982, Opus Dei was made into a personal prelature by Pope John Paul II through the Apostolic Constitution Ut Sit. Since then its Prelate in Rome has presided over a worldwide diocese whose boundaries are defined by Opus membership rather than the usual geographical boundaries. It now coexists with episcopal dioceses as an official part of the Church's institutional structures. Opus Dei originally comprised only celibate numerary members, but now also admits non-celibate supernumerary members, assistant-numerary members, and has numerous co-operators. Currently, Opus Dei has approximately 85,000 members worldwide.\n\nOpus Dei's central teachings includes the belief that "everyone is called to become a saint" and it holds that "ordinary life is a path to sanctity." Various Popes and Catholic Church leaders have strongly supported Opus Dei and its teachings. Both John Paul II and Benedict XVI have singled it out for high praise, and as of 2006, it is the only Catholic organization to have been elevated to the status of personal prelature.\n\nIn contrast, critics of Opus Dei have argued that the organization is cult-like, secretive, and ultra-conservative. Many Catholics have invoked the sign of contradiction to explain what Allen means when he describes Opus Dei as the most controversial force in the Catholic Church.


Remember, it has to be stupidly stupid. The stupidest gets the 'best answer', which I think gets you some points or something. Anyway I don't care if it's true or not it just has to be STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was about 12 I was an EXTREMELY nervous kid and afraid of my own shadow. I was so meek and condescending that one time I was walking out of my bedroom, bumped into my dresser, turned around and said "Excuse me" to my dresser. To this day, I shake my head at that... But those days are OVER! Get the fcuk out of my way!


Im heading home from college for the summer and was wondering if my ink that's in my printer will still be ok next fall when i come back?

This depends a lot on the brand of printer. Lexmark cartridges dry up after only a few days of inactivity while I have seen Epson cartridges work after 6 months of no use. HP cartridges seem to fall somewhere in between.


I was trying to sell EAG today, but was told that trading had been suspended for EAG. Who controls this suspension? and how long does it last?  Today was EAG's  first trading day after a reverse split last Friday...many thanks to whoever can answer this.

You are right...it was suspended for about 45 minutes this morning. After it opened, it traded all day today and closed at 1.43. Traded almost 600,000 shares too.


The spam mails explaining all methods for manhood enlargement, is it real? What is the need of it?

Its a hoax. The only way your going to get any bigger is if you play and stretch it while it is enlarged. The only thing the pills will do is make you get harder faster by increasing the blood flow to your unit and if your under 40 you should not use that stuff because you don't want your body getting to where it needs and requires it. \nJust enjoy what God gave you.

I get little blood spots all over my head. Being so dry I use head and sholders but it seem its not working

Its sounds like what my husband has, you might have psoriasis or eczema. I would recommend going to the dermatologist to get some topical cream or pills. If you don't have the money for the doctor right now try Neutrogena T-Gel shampoo, it has worked well for my husband.


Give me a crazy idea or sentece I can use in a blog.

pretend u were someone else...like a persona... u write funny things tt happen in ur persona life n post it... do lemme know wen u post them...wld love to read ur blog...


I'm kind of in a play fight with a friend of mine, we're challenging eachother to have the best answering machine message. We've been changing them like five times a day as of late, it's crazy... I've come up with some pretty good ones, but now I'm running out of ideas. Who's got suggestions? ;)

Once upon a time I had a tenant who was a rambunctious young man, given to partying and generally having a good time for himself.  I remember calling him and waiting for many rings before he answered.  He said hello, but in the background there were the sounds of a very noisy party.  I spoke to him, but he said he was having trouble hearing me, and he began to shout at the revelers to quiet down.  He returned his attention to me, although the party noise hadn't abated at all.  I tried again to speak to him, and he started apologizing, saying he couldn't hear me.  Then he shouted at the top of his lungs for quiet.  That seemed to work.  The party noise level backed way off, and he spoke again.  "Whoever this is, you'll have to leave a message at the beep."\n\nI had been talking to a recorded message, but instead of feeling like a complete idiot, I had to smile at his sophomoric inventiveness.  Maybe you could work something out along these lines.

If the earth was created 4,500,000,000 years ago, why did so much ecologically have to happen for us to be here? Why didn't "God" just "POOF", "And I'll call them humans...."? Seriously, there's evidence that after the earth was created, it was made up of co2 and nitrogen, then sediment got rid of co2 and slowly, and I mean slowly, oxygen became more prevalent. Then bacteria began to form. In the Devonian period, fish. Why did fish get to live here so much earlier than we did? And primates before humans? Also, the climate. It has gone up and down, up and down causing life and death over and over. Was the "all knowing" Creator having a rough time making things work?? What about the shifting of the continents? We all know that there is evidence of this, and in 250,000,000 years, the America's and Africa will come together to form one land mass. Its a cycle of creating and destroying land and ocean causing new climates and new life. Why are there so many people who just..don't..get..this?

Seriously, it's a nice question.\n\nUnfortunately, any worthwhile answer to the details you’ve provided is beyond the scope of Yahoo Answers. You’d do better scouring the web for books on the topic from both perspectives and/or joint perspectives, if you really want to understand what both sides and not just one believes and why.\n\nHowever, I can address your literal question, which is, “Why don’t people ‘get’ this?”\n\nOne of the arguments for why many people “don’t understand” the points you’re contributing is because there has been SUCH an extensive, detailed discourse over the validity of evolution for more than a century, there’s no way to stay abreast of every development and every argument (pro and con) unless one is either working professionally in the field or is committed to the subject as a full-time hobby.\n\n(I’ve dabbled in it on and off over twenty years myself -- just enough to know what it would cost me to really get my hands dirty and be able to rationally debate for either side. And even being the philosophy and knowledge junkie I am, I just have far too many other things on my plate.)\n\nAlong with the breadth of information that must be consumed by the average person is the degree of critical thinking skills needed to weigh such extensive and detailed arguments/evidence for each position, as well as determine which authorities are actually trustworthy and which are not. That’s another full-time job in itself – besides the fact that many people simply aren’t “wired” for that level of analysis.\n\nRealistically, I would NOT expect many people to be well-versed on the geological data regarding evolution, understand the biological and ecological impact, explore all the contexts for how things might most logically fit together, and so forth. The topic is simply far too time- and resource-intensive. \n\nCoupled with this is that your argument seems not to be concerned in the least with the question of “Why?” \n\nWhy are we here? What makes humans different, if we are? And how does this impact us personally in our day-to-day lives? To many people, the evolutionary debate is irrelevant to the daily demands of life and what they want to get out of it. \n\nEvolutionary theory has nothing to do with who they love, what they sacrifice for, who they care about, what they are willing to dedicate their energy to. It doesn’t help them figure out who to marry, or how to pay their bills, or how to help their kids back on a good track, or decide what car to buy. It doesn’t give them any sort of reason for them personally to live.\n\nIn fact, it rather runs counter to all that. If your supposition is completely true, then no inherent purpose to life exists, we’re all just animals cursed by the cosmos with irrelevant self-awareness, and death is the end. Yet most people want to live, and live meaningfully.\n\nThe narrative they want to create of their lives is actually the OPPOSITE of the narrative of evolution, which (to me and others) necessarily devalues human existence.\n\nWe can argue about whether your theoretical narrative is factually true or not (and people of course have been doing so for years); but in the meanwhile, the evolutionary narrative has no value to the majority of people out there, and it even undermines the meaning they believe exists inherently in their lives.\n\nSo I wouldn’t broadly call most people ignorant of evolution, as much as I’d call the details of evolution irrelevant to most people.\n\n(And if evolution's true as you've laid it out, why does it even matter that most people understand it anyway? Their understanding or lack of it has no lasting ramifications.)


I need to know this because it's for a project. Yeah. About fishies. :3

you cannot keep a fish a certian size so i do not understand your question


depends on who you're going to go see, mainstage bands aren't that great to see if you're gonna be in the crowd cuz there are soo many people. But its true, there are sooo many idiots going, but you shouldn't let them get in the way. I personally think its the awesomeness


When people say "lump", I always thought of it as a bump. Is it more like a ball in your breast? I have a this "lump" in my right breast, in the lower area, that feels like a ping pong ball. It doesn't hurt and I could kind of hold it. I was just wondering if anyone knew what it might be. I didn't think much of it at first because I thought it was just related to my breasts growing or something (I'm 19, and yes, I know they might've stopped growing but I have small ones and I'm still hopeful :P).\n\nI know I should just go to the doctor, but I wanted to get some information before I went. It might turn out to be nothing and I don't want to waste money over a check-up, x-ray, or anything else they might do.\n\nAlso, how common (or uncommon) is it for girls my age to get breast cancer?

Most likely this is a fibroadenoma the way you describe it.  A doctor can most likely confirm this when they do a breast exam.  Most likely they will also do a mammogram which probaly is not really that helpful in someone under 35 since the breast is more dense.  They will also probaly reccomend a fine needle biopsy.  If it is a fibroadenoma it is not cancer but many people choose to have them removed anyways.  This is obviously something that needs to be discussed with your doctor.


What do you think drives the most apparently 'sane' people to murder?\nWhat would drive you?\nIs it a tragic human flaw that causes us to kill each other for sport, revenge, fury, love and NOT the basic animal instincts of hunger and protection; or the belief that we are more superior than others?

Forget about the whole "we're so much better than animals" thing. Our animal instincts still affect us, even though it's not apparent. The "fight and flight" instinct is still prominent in our systems.\n\nSo when man murders outside of "he'll kill me first" then it's a mental thing that they are willing to do. Does that mean that we're all capable outside of that, sure. We just decide that a person's life isn't as important as ours (which is what hunters have when they hunt, no hunter things of the animal as an equal). So if you can value a life over your own, then it's possible.

IS education needed in the morden world?....

Definitely!The term education is not just restricted to your textbooks.The term education encompasses moral as well as literary values.A world without proper education cannot be better place to live.Today,if we have the anti-socialists,the nationalists,the fanatics and the insurgents....the prime reason behind this is that they didn't get a proper educational backing.


If you are supposed to use an "a" before words that begin with a consonant, why do we say "... an historic event..."?

In the case of "historic(al)", the French origin of the word is NOT enough to explain modern pronounciation.  It does NOT quite account for the fact that many who DO pronounce the "h" in 'historic' say "AN historic", and at the same time say "A history", or for the fact that the in SOME words where the once-silent h is now pronounced people do NOT say "an". \n\nThe key difference between "an historic" and "a history" is where the ACCENT falls -- and this must be part of any explanation.  In sum, people say "an h--" when the "h" is STILL silent, OR (at least sometimes) in where the "h--" syllable does NOT have the accent, more specifically where the word's SECOND syllable is accented.  That's because, in such words the "h" is very weak and is just barely pronounced.\n\n---------------------\n\nWhy the French origins don't exaplain it all --\n\nNote that for many of the "h" words before which "an" is used the French original did not pronounce the h.   That's fine for words in which we STILL do not pronounce the h (e.g., "honor"), but doesn't quite do for words in which people DO pronounce the h, yet say "an".  Especially, since the same people who say "an historic" (pronouncing the h), use simply "a" before OTHER French borrowings which did not pronounce the h, but now do (e.g., "a hotel" [not including those who omit the h sound and say "an otel"].\n\n------------------\n\nSo, here's a shot at the history and pronunciation that takes account of this and related cases of "a" vs. "an" before on h-word:\n\nBASIC explanation why "an" may appear before a word beginning with /h/:\n\n1) the initial /h/ IS not pronounced\n*generally in "hours" hono(u)r"\n*American English - "herb"\n*some dialects "humble", "hotel"\n\n2) history - that is, the /h/ USED to be silent:\nthere are a number of words whose initial /h/ was originally not pronounced, esp. those derived from (Old) French, which did not pronounce it (sometimes did not even spell it)\nSome of these (examples listed in #1) STILL do not pronounce the /h/ in many or all English dialects. Others that have added a pronounced /h/ may still be treated as if they did not have it -- 'historic(al)' is perhaps the best example of this\n\nBUT this is not enough -- as noted above, those who say "an historic(al) event" (pronouncing the /h/) ALSO usually say "a history"!\n\nSo, there's one other very important factor, which is:\n\n3) The syllable starting with /h/ LACKS an ACCENT\n--Specifically, if the SECOND syllable is accented, the initial /h/ is WEAKER, perhaps only very slightly pronounced (It seems especially weak if the following vowel is formed in the front of the mouth -- a, i, e (as opposed to vowels made further back -- o, u)\n\nSo, if the first syllable HAS an accent (especially the MAIN accent of the word) it is preceded by "a" --thus we say "A HISTORY" (unless, of course, you're Cockney)\n\nTo get the sense of how this works, just try saying the word "historic" all by itself. You may notice that you scarcely pronounce the /h/. Even if you do, it may feel like it takes extra energy do so (whereas when you say "history" the 'energy' is already supplied by accenting the syllable)\n\n[Some have said 'accented' or 'unaccented', but this is not quite correct. When the SECOND syllable is accented, the first syllable has the LEAST accent; if a LATER syllable has the primary accent the first syllable may still have a SECONDARY accent, and the 'rule' just described does not apply. Examples: 'hospitality' 'hippopotamus']\n\nIn fact, in expressions like "an historic..."

Runner on third , one out, batter hits hard ground ball to ss, ss throws home to get runner but throw is late and runner and batter are both safe.

Batter reaches on fielder's choice.  Does not get credit for a hit.  Not sure if he gets an RBI for that, though.  Would tend to believe he does.


A 6-year-old boy carved a boat out of a potato and played with it in the kitchen sink.  He placed salt inside the boat as his cargo and then left it sitting in the water for an hour.  When he returned, he found that it had water inside.  The water was not there before and nobody interfered with his boat.  Explain to the little boy how the water got into his boat.

I don't know if I could explain it to the litlle boy, but I'll explain it to you and you can figure out how to explain it to the little boy. The potato is porous meaning that water can pass through it like a membrane. The idea of osmosis is that it is always trying to equal out the amount of solute in a solvent. In this case the solvent is the water surrounding the boat and the water in the flesh of the potato and the solute is the salt. Water is drawn into the pores in the potato in order to try to make the salt solute to solvent ratio the same both inside and outside of the potato. If left long enough (and assuming the potato doesn't sink) the water inside the boat and the water outside the boat would have the same concentration of salt.

I love anal sex. I've been married for 10yrs. When my hubby first asked me to do it, I was scared to death. When I first did it i thought it was ok but hurt a little. As I tried it more often it became better and better. Now anal to me is just like having sex. Sometimes a*s*s. He loves that. I suggest you try to play with your wife's a*s*s while you're eating her out or during fore play. The more comfortable and turned on she is, the better she will like it. The first time she has an orgasm while being anal, she will love it forever. Good luck.


Time grasps you by the wrists directs YOU where to GO?!?!?!

SO MAKE THE BEST OF THIS TEST AND DONT ASK WHYYYY


Look I know that I usually ask for either friends on messenger or relationship trouble but now im asking what is your perspective on girls...what do you look for in females?

Honesty, sincerity, ambition ... above average libido, intelligence and a great sense of humour ... good lookin' with a great "bod" ... fairly well grounded i.e. spiritually and family upbringing. Not in any special order!\n\nA fair question would be ... have I found her yet??? eh!?!?


In, so called, civilized nations, there is only one sentence (incarceration) which can vary in lengh. However, it is very hard, if not impossible, to adequately calibrate this type of sentence, because the state can not assure that the prisoner will only be subject to the given sentence. He/she may be beaten, raped, infected by disease etc. Furthermore, there're uncontrollable consequences that go beyond the person being sentenced. If, for example, the provider of a family gets put away even for a short time, the familly is being punished too and in longer sentences, it may destroy familly structures completely.\n\nImagine two men that commit the same crime and are given the same sentence (e.g.: 2 years). One is a gang member with no family ties and the other is a frail geek with wife and kids. Will they be really getting the same punishment? If, on the other hand, the judge sets a date for them to be caned (for ex.) under medical supervision, won't it be fairer?  Take soap box.

Good arguement. However, I see only one way on this...if the geek and gangbanger committed the same crime, then they both deserve the same punishment. Because he is a frail geek does not make him any less worthy of ounishment than the gangbanger. Whats the crime?? For two years, it is probably something minor, like assualt. So, just how frail is the geek for assaulting someone?? \n\nId also have to agree tho, that corporal punishment in this country should be used. I think it would at least save us millions in costs of housing prisoners, etc. But alas, our Constitution calls this "cruel and unusual punishment." And, the reality is, it doesnt seem to be much of a deternt to crime. they behead you in Arabia for certain crimes, cut of hands for stealing, etc. People still do it, even tho the executions are public. When I was in Saudi Arabia in the late 80's, I was FORCED to watch a public beheading - all foriegners were made to watch. They beleived it was a way to show us tht they meant business. theyve beeen doing this for thousands of years...yet people still murder and steal there...


Christians will bore you to tears with the idea that everything in the world, both good and bad, is part of God's Ineffable Plan! So then why do they care if anyone:\n\ndoesn't believe the things they do?\n\ndoesn't dress the way they do?\n\ndoesn't have sex the way they do?\n\nuses words they don't like?\n\nreads books they don't like?\n\nsmokes, drinks, shoots, or snorts things they don't like?\n\nhas sex with someone they wouldn't?\n\nmakes art that they don't like?\n\nplays or makes music they can't stand?\n\nhas opinions that are different than theirs?\n\nI could go on and on, but here's the point (finally!)\n\nAnything that happens is, according to them, part of God's Big Unknowable Nonsensical Inefficent Pointless Bloody Plan.\n\nSo who the hell are they to be interfering with their very own god's way of running things? Ya'll gonna be surprised if you're right about the whole afterlife gig and them there pearly gates don't open for people jacking with The Plan...

i think you got to go with donalds shaws answer on this one, definately got to go with donalds shaws answer


the reason i'm asking because i have four kids and i have to get them to school and don't want to get in anymore trouble but can't pay my tickets cause i have no job.but they have to got to school and it's to far for them to walk. please help.

How long your license will be suspended will depend on what it was suspended for.  Even after the time limit, there will most likely be other requirements to get it back:  Fines, courses, proof of insurance, etc.  You neglect to say what your tickets are for.  Maybe your children would be safer riding with somebody else.


im a pretty nice and passive guy. on a scale of 1-10 how much of a take charge over-confident ass do i have to become to get women to want me?

It depends on what you're taking charge of.  If you take it upon yourself to respectfully and confidently take charge of meeting her wants and needs, that's sexy.  \n\nIf you confidently do what you want without regard to her needs/desires that's obnoxious.\n\nThe kicker is that it requires some sensitivity.  You don't have to read her mind, but you do have to pay attention to her cues.


I want to know how far mercury is from the earth for my science project.

earth to the sun is 93 million miles and the distance from mercury to the sun is about 36 million miles. so 93-36= about 57 million miles. hope this helps.


i want a category where there is no philosophys or non-belivers. would this be ok.

GO FOR IT, and I will even PRAY for the sites success in JESUS's NAME (and I hope the other Bro's and Sis's will too! ONE can send a thousand away, TWO can send ten thousand. The power level goes up by TEN every time some other Child of God adds his-her faith to the prayer. p.s.This is why the Devil has tried to separate us for along time, if WE all get together on this thing(assembling ourselves together), he's done for.

In 1974, The American Council of Witches drafted the Principles of Wiccan Belief.  These are the widely used beliefs of Wiccans. \n\n\n1. We practice rites to attune ourselves with the natural rhythm of life forces marked by the phases of the Moon and the seasonal Quarters and Cross Quarters. \n\n2. We recognize that our intelligence gives us a unique responsibility towards our environment. We seek to live in harmony with Nature, in ecological balance offering fulfillment to life and consciousness within an evolutionary concept. \n\n3. We acknowledge a depth of power far greater than that apparent to the average person. Because it is far greater than ordinary it is sometimes called "supernatural", but we see it as lying within that which is naturally potential to all.\n\n4. We conceive of the Creative Power in the universe as manifesting through polarity-as masculine and feminine-and that this same Creative Power lies in all people, and functions through the interaction of the masculine and feminine. We value neither above the other, knowing each to be supportive of the other. We value sex as pleasure, as the symbol and embodiment of life, and as one of the sources of energies used in magickal practice and religious worship. 2\n\n5. We recognize both outer and inner, or psychological, worlds -- sometimes known as the Spiritual World, the Collective Unconscious, Inner Planes, etc. -- and we see in the interaction of these two dimensions the basis for paranormal phenomena and magickal exercises. We neglect neither dimension for the other, seeing both as necessary for our fulfillment.\n\n6. We do not recognize any authoritarian hierarchy, but do honor those who teach, respect those who share their greater knowledge and wisdom, and acknowledge those who have courageously given of themselves in leadership.\n\n7. We see religion, magick and wisdom-in-living as being united in the way one views the world and lives within it -- a world view and philosophy of life which we identify as Witchcraft, the Wiccan Way.\n\n8. Calling oneself "Witch" does not make a Witch -- but neither does heredity itself, nor the collecting of titles, degrees and initiations. A Witch seeks to control the forces within her/himself that make life possible in order to live wisely and well without harm to others and in harmony with Nature. 3\n\n9. We believe in the affirmation and fulfillment of life in a continuation of evolution and development of consciousness, that gives meaning to the Universe we know, and our personal role within it.\n\n10. Our only animosity towards Christianity, or toward any other religion or philosophy of life, is to the extent that its institutions have claimed to be "the only way," and have sought to deny freedom to others and to suppress other ways of religious practice and belief.\n\n11. As American Witches, we are not threatened by debates on the history of the Craft, the origins of various terms, the origins of various aspects of different traditions. We are concerned with our present and our future.\n\n12. We do not accept the concept of absolute evil, nor do we worship any entity known as "Satan" or "the Devil", as defined by Christian tradition. 4 We do not seek power through the suffering of others, nor do we accept that personal benefit can be derived only by denial to another.\n\n13. We believe that we should seek within Nature that which is contributory to our health and well-being.\n\nAny Questions?


Suppose that you were faced with Judging, your sitting on the bench, a young child, that gets his fathers pistol from the drawer, and pulling the trigger, kills himself.  Suicide? \n   Same child, gets his father's pistol, points it at his brother, imitating what he sees on TV, pulls the trigger and kills his brother.  Murder?\n   Same child, sees his mother being beaten severely, goes in and gets his fathers pistol, and shoots the attacker father dead.  Murder?\n   Same child, acquited of any of the above crimes, broods in depression over his Sunday School teachers words,  Thou SHalt not KILL...  gets another pistol and shoots himself.  SUicide?  who motivated this death if not the teacher, who is responsible ?\n   In the OT,KJV, The Command is , Thou shalt not Kill, but  in The Original SOurce Document Text of TORAH,  the Command is, THOU SHALL DO NO MURDER.   Is there a difference? Which is the correct translation?  Do we murder with words as well as weapons?  Who is the judge?

The courts decide with a real judge. Everything else is fantasy and fiction.

My height is 5' 10" and i can jump only about 2 feet . Can anyone tell about any exercise to increase my vertical jump.\nplease dont advice about weights and sites that guarantee to increase my jump.

But weights would help.  Even if you don't have a set of weights you can make your own. Fill an old gallon milk jug with sand.\n\nStand on the edge of a curb with your heal hanging off. Hold the weight behind you.  Lower your heal slowly as far down as you can go, and the raise up on your toes as high as you can go. Repeat until exhausted. Trade to the other foot and repeat.  Go back and do the first foot again.  This really strengthens the calf which is vital for launching.\n\nNext deep knee bends.  Preferably with weights. Making your legs strong are the other part of increasing your vertical.


My jump drive says that it is 87% full when it is empty.  It is a 256 MB jump drive and i think it said it had 25 MB Free space.  whats going on.


We are looking for workshops concerning outreach, management training, life skills, and anythign else dealing with homeless clients and/or entry level homeless people returning to work.

Ask your supervisor! Do you have someone who responds for you? Also, if you really want to get down to it, ask in any community college, wherever you are. Don't ask me! I don't even know your location!


Any thoughts?  I and my GF would love to try.


do you think it is creepy to live next do to a house where someone died in? and it was an awful way to die a heroin overdose. I wonder if his spirit is in there

Its probably not as creepy as living in a house where the previous owners died.


Does having a Java Certified Developer certification really help get entry level programming jobs or is it a waste of time.  I want to get an entry level J2EE developer position, but I haven't had many doors opening for me. I have an a programming background, but not necessarily in Java. I have had a Java class at a local community college, but I didn't feel that I really learned much. Do you know anyone is a Java Certified Developer or has taken the exam? Did having the Cert really open any doors for them?

For that postition u might require JAVA, C++, C, PHP, Perl, Pascal, Javascript, XML, HTML knowledge.\n\nThis is a Resume from a persons that wants that postition \n\nhttp://j2ee-developer.com/\n\nScroll through and you will have an idea of what you need and dont need to get that position.

the basement is 24 meters in diameter, 2 meters below static waterline, waterproofing is secondary option, perforated pipe is third option. how thick should my slab be? structure is four storeys high made of concrete.

Before and during construction period of the basement, you have to perform "dewatering" the surroundings, i.e. pumping the water 24 hours a day until the surface is lower than the foundation. On the outer side of the basement concrete, you must place water-proofing sheet before cementing them. However, since the water will give huge pressure to the basement, you have to divert the force by either using  submersible pump(s) to pump out the water automatically when it reaches certain level, or make drain(s) to the lower level, for example to the river down hill, if the situation is suitable.

I do!  I was standing out in a corn field drinking some moonshine, and all of a sudden I was laying a table.  After the examination was completed, Zorphidus and the gang took me out on the town.  We went to Zorphidus' home galaxy, hooked up with some Zepheres (that's space slang for "prostitutes"), and went to a karaoke bar.  On the way back to Earth they let me drive the ship, which turned out to be a BAD idea, because I was drunk and had never driven a spaceship.  I had to make a crash landing in Nevada, or it may have been New Mexico, I can't remember.  Anyway, a bunch of soldiers came running towards us, and I hauled a$$, leaving Zorphidus and the gang, along with the Zepheres, behind.  I had a good time, to say the least!  I just wonder what happened to my Zormies (that's "spaceonics" for friends)...

YES, I remember.\nSadly, it wasn't as fun as yours...\nThere I was watching over my cows when a huge light came over us. Three little green men came hovering out of a ship shaped liked a cigar. They wanted to take my prized cow Bessie. Of course I refused. They offered me Zorbels(alien money) but what good is that on Earth so I told them to get lost. Then things got hectic...\n\nThey picked me and Bessie up and zapped the rest of my cows with a laser beam! Including my dog Fluffy!!\nThey took me and Bessie to their ship and strapped us to tables and began poking us.\nThen a tall blue alien came in and began slicing and dicing poor Bessie. The aliens were just about to call their chef "Pierre" over to cook them some beef stew when I picked up telepathetically that they should rather not since mad cow disease is going around. Then I blacked out...  \n\nWhen I awoke, I was in a strange place. A lady alien was before me and the entire room was black. She had a milky complexion and large blue eyes with radiant red hair. She told me that we needed to reproduce in order to save her people. Naturally I obliged and gave her a good earthling show of supreme stamina and skill. Needless to say she was highly impressed...\n\nIt was then that Zarta Shezang walked in. He was about 8ft tall was extremely hairy and had a face that strangely resembled a pigs. He told me that I needed to save his people as well...\n\nAfter I woke up, I was back in my earth bed with strange spots on my skin. A bunch of flowers was waiting by the bed with the note saying "Thanks for the memories, from Zarta Shezang..."


Following the 11 year old girl who will become Britains youngest mum in a few weeks time. Totally feel that she is not ready yet to have a kid.

Its hard to say.. Every one matures at different ages and depending in our relationship with our parents, family, friends and teachers and our experiences in this world we become who we are...  With that being said, there is no way in this world that an 11 YEAR OLD GIRL has experienced enough in her short life to know whats right and wrong and to know if she wants to have a child or let alone know how to take care of a child!!!  SHE IS A CHILD HERSELF!!! I am 28 years old and as sad as it sounds, I STILL DONT KNOW IF I WANT TO HAVE A CHILD!!! and I am in a good financial situation, graduated college, have been able to travel and meet different places and people and I'm old enough and lived long enough to know the tremendous amount of  responsibility that comes with a child--- This 11 year girl is a baby!!!  So yes, you are absolutely right- She is not ready to have a child.   Anyone ever heard of child abuse?

I have a Dell computer XP and is about two years old. I scaned for virus, spyware and adware and still my computer is running slow. It was not before. Could it be my DSL? I don't know what else to do. I even cleaned the temporary files, delete cookies and the history.

If your machine ran faster a while ago (like just after your got it), it's importatn to look back on your use of it. If it began to slow down after you added that program (<whatever> it was), or after you changed a graphics card or some such, ... that may give a clue. You don't suggest such a thing, but it's worth trying to think about. \n\nIn general, if your machine is a Windows machine, it is particularly subject to infestation by malware. These are viruses, Trojans, spyware, and so on, which have been silently installed on your machine. Use a good antivirus program (recently updated) to detect and remove them from the entire machine. And use at least two spyware programs (also recently updated) to identify and remove spyware programs. (Two, because not all spyware programs, even the good ones, catch them all.) Examples of well respected programs for Windows (all available in limited freely downloadable versions, include: AVG antivirus, Avast antivirus, Spy Bot, Spy Catcher, AdAware, ...). But you say you've done that. \n\nAll of this, even if successful, may leave the Windows Registry in a messy and clogged state. There are some 'Registry cleaners' available, but if this is the cause, you may be better off by making a backup copy of all your data files, then reformatting the hard disk, and finally reinstalling Windows. This will result in a clean Registry. Using a Registry cleaner is not likely to do as well, though it may be enough.\n\nIn all, remember that, for Windows systems, the rule of thumb is reboot, reinstall, then reformat.  \n\n=========\napplication slow down\n\nIf one particular aspect of your machine (eg, Internet use, heavily computational tasks, heavily disk loaded tasks, ...) is the slowdown winner, this may give a clue. sow applications suing a specific hardware driver may indicate a defective or damaged drive. Removal and reinstallation may clear the problem. Indeed, a cold restart may be enough, since it will clear memory and then rebuild the system (including the drivers) from copies on the hard disk. slow doewn after a system which has had more and more simultaneous processes added to it (virus scanning, spyware scanning, firewall operation, ...) may be due to insufficient system RAM (add more), or too small virtual memory assignment (under Windows), or to conflict between DLL packages. Some applications include DLLs which replace existing ones, with bad effects on existing applications. Reinstallation of the existing applicationa will replace the  then existing, possibly making the new application exhibit problems.   \n\nFinally, it may be that your hard disk has become too fragmented for reasonable response and is spending much of its time thrashing instead of actually reading / writing to the disk. Defragmenting the hard disk may help. Recent bundled Windows defragmenting programs work adequately, but some of the commercial programs are quicker and more flexible.\n\n===========\nrecords\n\nKeep good notes about what you do. Something like, suspect overly fragmented hard disk. Applicaiton foo takes 4 minutes to complete. Defragmented hard disk on 0x/0y/0z at a:bc. Application foo takes 2 minutes. Good improvement, but not enough since application bar still is very very slow. \n\nThe purpose of this is to be able to pass on to someone else if necessary, what you've tried and what results there were, if any. And to keep straight in your own mind what you've done. Experience speaks when I say that it will help, even when you can't see now quite how.


I know the last line is, "And that's why I'm late for school," or something to that effect...

Kidnapped!\n\nThis morning I got kidnapped\nBy three masked men.\nThey stopped me on the sidewalk,\nAnd offered me some candy,\nAnd when I wouldn't take it\nThey grabbed me by the collar,\nAnd pinned my arms behind me,\nAnd shoved me in the backseat\nOf this big black limousine and\nTied my hands behind my back\nWith sharp and rusty wire.\nThen they put a blindfold on me\nSo I couldn't see where they took me,\nAnd plugged up y ears with cotton\nSo I couldn't hear their voices.\nAnd drove for 20 miles or\nAt least for 20 minutes, and then\nDragged me from the car down to\nSome cold and modly basement,\nWhere they stuck me in a corner\nAnd went off to get the ransom\nLeaving one of them to guard me\nWith a shotgun pointed at me,\nTied up sitting on a stool...\nThat's why I'm late for school!\n\n~Shel Silverstein

A person i know got busted for growing 12,000 dollars worth of pot in his house..got busted and only spent 2 weeks in jail after a drug friend bailed him out...that was over a year ago and he still never went to trial yet...I know he still does the selling and he even has kids too...what is taking so long before he gets sentenced for his crime?

I know some people think using drugs is no crime so we\nshould ignore it.  Well, much of the time, it is people\nwho are high on drugs of various kinds (including alcohol) that do evil things to other people or cause automobile\ndeaths due to driving while drunk.  A drug is a drug that\nalters the mind, so we need to stop those who sell to\nothers and get them hooked on them. Plus people kill for\ndrugs as once hooked they think they can't do without them,\nand they also steal money so they can buy these expensive\nnarcotics.

i had sex with my sisters husband, now im pregnant and dont know what to do


i want to have a baby and i am not sure what to do? help

It all depends on if you are ovulating or not- it is very possible to ovulate and not have a period, but you really need to see a doctor to determine if you are or not.  Have you seen or doctor as to why you only get a period every six months?  This would be the first thing to do.  After that has been determined, then you can try.  Usually trying over a year warrants both you and your partner to get checked out, and possibly a referral to a fertility specialist.


Which sentence is correct? \nMy parents don't like my playing loud music\nMy parents don't like me playing loud music.  \n\nI have heard it is correct with my, but if it is, why?

They are tricky, but simple once you change a word or two to put them in different contexts.\n\nOn the first one, yes I do see why it could be correct.\nThe word "MY" is a possessive adjective. A noun comes after the possessive.\nMy house.\nMy car.\nMy Answer.\n\nProbably the word that is confusing you is the -ing (PLAYING). most likely you are thinking this word is a verb when in reality it is not working as a verb. we have here a noun. the complete noun is "Playing loud music". This phrase is a participle phrase functioning as a noun. Try this on for size.\nMy parents don't like my room.\nMy parents don't like my stereo.\nMy parents don't like my music.\nMy parents don't like my playing loud music.\n\nThe second sentence talks about you doing something and your parents not being happy about it. Another way of saying it would be:\nMy parents don't like that I play loud music.\nOnce again, from the word "that" to the period, we are talking about a noun clause. Clause is another word for sentence.\n\nHope it helps

Living in the south, I can not tell you how many times I have seen guys open their pickup truck while at a red light and spit out their tabacco.  Then you dodge the yucky mess hoping not to get it on your tires.  Is it ever okay to spit in public?

health and etiquette wise, spitting should be BANNED.\npeople who spit their phlegm everywhere are spreading their viruses around! picture this, the temperature inside our body is higher than that of the outside. when somebody spits his phlegm out, the "subdued" viruses are more likely to "live" again.\nand this spitting ban should really be implemented so that we won't have any fear walking around. who wants to step on something gooey before arriving at work/school or meeting up with a date?

I taught in the public elementary school for four years after graduating with my B.S. in Education.  Then, I quit to stay home with my young children because I never wanted them to have to go to daycare. My youngest will be starting pre-school in the fall, now what?\n\nI've been out of the classroom for seven years.  I don't doubt my abilities. But, I know I'll have to do a lot to regain my certificate.  I should have kept my certificate up to date, but the date just flew right by me--two years ago. Not to mention, we've moved to another state.  I guess I'm not sure if I'm up to the task at hand.

Are you wanting to go back to full time?  Or are you more interested in something part time so you still have flexibility when your kids are sick, have special school events, etc?  \n\nIt would probably be best to start by investigating your options... not only what it would take to regain your certificate, but also other career paths.  You may be able to work at a private school teaching w/o a certificate since you do have a degree.  You might opt to substitute rather than look for a full time position right off the bat.  Or you may be able to do preschool or daycare (in-home?) or tutoring.  My degree & training are actually in science but I tutored while my kids were babies, taught preschool when they were that age, and now that they are in elementary, I'm going to be teaching part time for a local college!  I kept my eyes open for opportunities, even if they didn't initally seem like a perfect fit.\n\nIf teaching in a classroom is still your passion, then by all means, go back to it!  I think the suggestion to add a specialized field is a good one...with all the cuts in education these days, making sure you are in high demand as a reading specialist or special ed. teacher will give you more security until you have tenure.  Best of luck!

which amoung these 3-\n  a) I.T\n  b)electronics & communication\n  c)computer science.WHY?

Pi is right.  I.T. is not really engineering.  \n\nI disagree with thatha when he said that the three you listed are one and the same.  They definitely are not.  Electrical engineers create the electronics that make the work of computer scientists, IT people, and communications engineers possible.  Further, communications engineers are also electrical engineers.  Computer science requires a deep knowledge of algorithms and programming, while IT only requires knowledge of the specs of the products that electrical engineers design.\n\nFrom your list, I would cross off I.T.  Your career will always be in support of what your company is actually creating...not what they are actually creating.  For this reason, companies tend to be frugal when it comes to I.T.  \n\nElectronics, computer science, and communications all overlap somewhat, but can be very different from one another.  If you start out as an electrical engineering major you can find out what you like after some classes.  You may find you hate programming, and love circuits, or vice versa.  If you're interested in both, you might try computer engineering.  You won't get a good feel for communications until your last few semesters as an electrical engineering major, if you stick with it.\n\nBut aside from your list, there are many other areas of engineering, I just assumed you had narrowed your interest down to those three.  If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Go to the legal library and look up your charges in the appeals section for your area.  Find a lawyer who took a case like yours and won. Don't wast you time and life in jail by picking a lawyer out of the phone book, he will just take your money.  The clerk at the library will help you.  Good luck, and remember it makes no difference if you did it or not unless you have DNA to prove you didn't.


what explanation can you offer for any activity that you observed? why is this an example of a chemical change?

A neutralization reaction occurred between the acetic acid in the vinegar and the baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to produce sodium acetate and carbonic acid, which decomposed to form water and carbon dioxide.  Since the chemical species are different now than they were before the reaction started, a chemical change has occurred.


any one who knows some safe neighbourhoods (low crime, good schools), on Manhattan?? Planning on moving there

Generally everything below W 110th and E 96th are considered very safe. Safer than most places in the United States. Above those street boudaries lyes Harlem and eventually the Bronx. Not that all of Harlem is that bad anymore. Or the Bronx for that matter. Manhattan in the last ten years has almost completely cleaned up and turned into a very nice place to live.\n\nThe upper east side still has the best schools in Manhattan, but most of the Manhattan schools are of very high caliber.\n\nAs far as price goes, it's all over the board. There are a lot of affordable deals in lower Manhattan because of post-911 rebuilding. The upper east side is still more expensive than the upper west. Tribeca is quite expensive, but the lower east side, and neighborhoods surrounding NYU are generally cheaper.

You spend ten of thouands of dollars to attend college.  But then for some jobs after graduation, you pretty much have to start over again at the bottom in the job market even if you're college graduate.

Is it too expensive? YES! Overrated, idk... So many ppl get college education today that it has almost become an expectation when looking for a better job. To really pull away from the crowd you have no choice, but continue your education, grad. school, etc. And that's becoming a natural step for many as well, while college has become almost an another high school.


Actress: Jessica Alba (see pics below)\nSinger: Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil) is pretty hot\n\nMost popular? I don't know about that.....


i personaly dont like underwear so i go commando 100% of the time. Whats your stand on underwear?

i never wear undies too constricting for me


I got mine after rapid weight gain and then loss when I was being treated for thyroid cancer at 19 (I'm now 27 and an american size 6). They're the light violet/silvery ones, I have them all over my hips, breasts, stomach, down the sides of my ribs and the underside of my arms and my legs. My husband insists he doesn't see them anymore but I'm wondering if they're as noticeable as I think. People have asked me about them previously.

More cat ears...I love em...As you probably know, at least in America we are programmed to see and except ONLY beautiful and flawless, no imperfections.  Must be perfect eye color, hair, tan, shape etc.  Truth is we do want those things but most common sense adults know that can't always be so.  Stretch marks are a part of life and are accepted.  I don't think you'll be shunned by any one even if they are noticeable. When I see the marks on a woman who has worn scanty clothing it just doesn't bother me. I just think she has had a baby or lost weight.  It's not "icky" or anything like that.


Under these five characteristics.\n\n\n1. He had a vision(plans)\n2. He had a passion\n3. He made good decisions\n4. He was able to listen to others\n5. He had a strong sense of ethics and mortality.\n\n\n\n\n- If you can find anything that supports that Abraham Lincoln had some or all of these characteristics of being a great leader please let me know and send me the links\n\n\nThank you.\n\nTrisha

ok, you have to look at what makes a great leader.  You have the core values, but you need to do a little digging.  What was his vision?...That slaves become free and what did that mean.  Being free didn't make slaves citizens.  \n\nWhat was he passionate about?  You can open any history book and find that answer to that.  life, liberty and pursuit of freedom.  Think about what was going on at that time.\n\nWhat decisions did he make and why were they considered good.  Look to the site below and critically think about what decisions were made.\n\nPlus, Abe could debate.  Think about leaders and think about how they do with pubic speaking.  Do we consider George W. as a good leader.  No. But he can't speak either.  Hitler was horrible man, but why did a whole country follow him.  He could speak and articulate ideas well.  This encourges followers.\n\nAbe was known as a moral man.  Think about the morals of the time.  You must remember thou.  Why was he percieved as an ethical man.  If slaves were not seen as people and he comes along to fight to give them rights and citizenship.  It means that more people percived him as ethical.\n\nHope this helps.
