When I first set up this account I put "-99" as my age as a joke.  However, -99 < 13 years old, so Yahoo doesn't let me use most of its services due to age restrictions.  I says I'm too young.  I don't want to get rid of this account because I use it for all of my email.  I can't edit my user profile--age restrictions once again.

there is no way you can change this and if there is one then i don't know. you might wanna try calling or emailing the people at yahoo.

If we care about fitness, why we shun the bodybuilders ?\nand please dont use the steroid usage, because alot of sports use roids, and alot of bodybuilders are roid free.....just a question ?

Depends on who the bodybuilder is. I've dealt with a few that are really great guys, willing to share things with you, offer tips and insights. Maybe it's because I'm 5'11" and 185#, trim and not bulked up. (Read: not seen as competition.)\n\nBut I've also met more than a few at the gym who have only one focus; themselves. They're crass, inconsiderate, impatient, and think they own that particular time and place. \n\nLike anything else in life, you get back what you give.

I've been dating a guy for a year now and he treats me very well and cares for me deeply. We always have fun together and we are exclusive. He wants to continue dating me but will not make me his official girlfriend until he feels those 3 little words for me.  Should I stay or should I go?

Girl,\nI am in a similar situation. You have to decide if he is "using" you as a safety net of sorts or just settling until something better comes along. Also, because I do not know the entire situation, you have to ask your self if he could also be using you for monetary gains, etc.  No matter the situation, if you are not 100% happy, you should walk. You are more important and your happiness is too.

According to Karl Marx's list of ten things needed to become a communist country the U.S has applied-in one form or another- nine of them.

"America" is not a country, it's a continent formed by three sub-continents (north, central and south america).\n\nNow about the question, since it's about the USA... Marx's wrote his works more than 100 years ago, with Germany in mind (the fact that Russia was the place where the revolution took place and was successful is still a high topic among historians) --by then, the USA was an underdeveloped country, without a big proletarian base or an industrial/urban developed production system, which was the requested condition for the revolution (again, Russia was a contradiction to this request). Therefore, you cannot apply Marx's theory 'directly' to a country today. The capitalist system has developed internal restraints and "decompressing" mechanisms that ensure that, even when the inequality and the poverty or the income distribution are ignominious, the system is not under danger of disruption.\n\nCapitalism, as Marx said, might have the seed of self destruction, but it also has selfpreservation mechanisms (corporations, NGOs, formal democracy --even in non-democratic countries--). Also, it offers what some people might call a 'messianic' or 'religious' promise: the best of the worlds is here, on earth and while you are alive, and you need money and success to attain it (I am talking about the protestant capitalism, not the catholic one, which came later): therefore, the success of capitalism is guaranteed by the fact that the lower classes want to become middle class, and middle class wants to become high class. This ensures all of them, especially the middle class, is ultra-conservative, fighting to keep the status-quo, so they can (someday) be high-class and enjoy what the system promises (of course, the status-quo needs to be based on inequality, so you have classes and people fight to escalate in the social chain).\n\nwhat do I know?...

I got an XM satellite radio player for my car. Its pretty cool. I bought a brand new MP3 player in October, and all I asked for was a napster subscription. But my parents thought XM radio would have more of the music that I like. But it doesn't even have the music I really like. I am more into the indie/emo music, and XM really doesn't have an outlet for it. I would have rather had the 15/month napster subscription than the 20/month satellite radio. What should I say to my parents?\n\n-daniel

Say thanks, and if you need to take it back, ask them if they got a gift receipt.  If they have one, then politely explain to them that you'd really like a napster subscription better, and so you'd like to exchange it.  It's not a big deal unless you make it one.


I Love Bush! \n\n(Michael Moore is the moron.)


Quoting from an AP article on Yahoo:\n\n"Kentucky provided the NCAA the original copy of a fax sent by Morris to Smith, notifying the coach of his plans to enter the draft. In the one-paragraph fax -- released by the university on Thursday -- Morris told Smith that 'my intent is not to obtain an agent so as to maintain my collegiate eligibility.'\n\nSmith said he had misplaced the fax and only found it last week."\n\nRead that last sentence again. He misplaced the fax? How does that happen? I'm a big fan of UK, and I don't hate Tubby Smith as bad as most others in the Big Blue Nation right now, but come on! Is there any excuse for this?

It should not be put on a coach to keep a fax.  How many faxes and messages to they get on a day.  The Player is the one that is responsible for his eligibility.  They do also have a NCAA advisor at the university that should have received that fax.  The fax to the coach informative only for his intent.  He is lucky that the NCAA gave him back a the rest of this season.

The Benq drive installed very easily. But it grabbed my F: drive. My F: drive is my server data and I have to keep the server as F:. I disabled the DVD in the Device Manager and got my F: drive back.

Assuming your using windows..\n\nRight click My Computer\nClick Manage\nUnder Storage, click Disk management.\nSelect the Benq drive, right click it, and select Change Drive Letter and Paths.\n\nYou can change it to G from there.

My top one would have be is to work on my German, i really would love to learn and last year i wasnt doing my best on studying and all's, so this year i really would love to have better studying habits and stuff. lol (It's 2006 here already in Germany!)


I moved here two and a half years ago and I've paid for my post office box on far to many occassions.  At first I just let it slide saying to myself "I'ts only $20.00" but then I realized, if it's being done to me than who else has fallen victim to this seemingly sweet kind good natured gal?  So I'm searching my heart and my computer for the right answer.  I question my faith and obediance to God first and know that I cannot afford to be unforgiving, however I have given my shirt,skirt,and shoes to this woman and now it's got to stop. Sure you can get rich stealing other peoples money or mail, but you won't get to heaven being a liar (Check your Bible), what I'm saying has been written for centuries.  My carnal nature would like to say a few words to her but the God I serve is busy enough cleaning up the mess I'v made I'd hate to ask him for forgivness for something I don't ever have to do. Vengance belongs to only God so I need not worry about what he has planned for her. JUST REPENT!

And try to stick to the subject when you do.


When I look at a white wall, my monitor, or an open sky... I constantly see what seems to be "dust" floating on my eyes and I can see it move when my eyes move.  Does anyone have an idea of what could be causing this?

They are called floaters. Your eyes are not filled with air, but with a thick liquid known as vitreous humor. Floaters are cells that have broken off from the inside of eye and float around in the vitreous humor.\n\nSee the links below for more information.


Robert Williams is an English pop singer. Williams' early pop career started with the hit boy band Take That. The band was formed in 1990 and proved to be highly successful, with 8 UK Number 1 singles to their credit. \n\nOut of all the members of Take That, Robbie Williams never really seemed to fit in. Roguishly handsome where his bandmates were merely cute, Williams was tougher and sexier than the rest, which made him more distinctive. He also fought regularly with the other members and their management, primarily because he was occasionally adverse to being so heavily packaged. So it didn't come as a surprise that he was the first to leave the band, departing early in the summer of 1995 to pursue a solo career; by some accounts, he was fired from the group. Although he was the first out of the gate, it took Williams awhile to get started.\n\n Williams released his first solo album, Life Thru a Lens, in 1997. The album became a big hit in Britain, prompting his second, I've Been Expecting You, in 1998. The Ego Has Landed, a U.S.-only compilation designed for breaking Williams to American audiences, was released stateside in the spring of 1999. Sing When You're Winning followed in late 2000, gaining success with the video hit "Rock DJ," while a big-band album of standards (Swing When You're Winning) appeared a year later. During 2002, Williams celebrated an enormous new contract with EMI (rumored to be upward of 80 million dollars), but suffered the loss of his longtime production partner, Guy Chambers. Escapology, the fifth Robbie Williams album (and the last including Chambers' input), sold millions of copies in Europe, though it failed to persuade American audiences. As a result, the 2003 concert record Live at Knebworth wasn't released in the States.\n\nIn 2002, the UK public voted Williams to be on the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons (at number 77). He was also voted 17th in Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons poll.\n\n\nFor more information on him, please refer to the following links :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Williams\nhttp://www.google.com/musica?aid=KIL_YZIrTEP&oi=musicr\n\nList of all 182 songs and lyrics :\nhttp://robbie-williams.lyrics-songs.com/ \n\nTo Watch his videos:\nhttp://www.mtv.com/music/artist/williams_robbie/artist.jhtml

I am a strict parent.  My two children know I am the parent and they respect me and my wishes.  My b/f and I have had a lot of problems due to the fact he allows his daugther to totally dictate what they do when she is visiting.  I overheard her refer to me in a VERY vulgar way over the phone to him and he said nothing!  I was very, profoundly insulted.  What shoud I do?  She is 11yrs old and very jealous of the relationship between me and her father.

you should get a good belt and invite her over and give her a good spanking.Enure no one can hear the trashing.\n\nEvery little girl needs discipline and that little brat is no different. \n\nI think first her father can not tolorate such behaviour not stopping her is effectively agreeing with her. Your boyfriend is a big part of this problem. Let him know you are very hurt by this and ask him to reprimand her when she cross the line.\n\nYou should try to build a good relationship with the brat,but don't become a friend you are an adult and you demand respect\n\nyou should also understand that the brat is jealous of you stealing her dad or replacing her mom, that hurts bad. I guess you should allow you to spend time with her talk to the brat and see how she feels, let the brat open up to you, you are not kissing ass but staking a mature and correct approach to the problem\n\nthis might tkae time so be paitent,however if you see that you are not making any progress and things are getting worst then you should allow her to spend time with her dad alone and have a miniture relationship wit the brat.\n\nyou should not be surprised by the use of the worrd "HOE" as she gets older into a teenage years you can expect bigger and nastier brawls right in your face.

I know that a "vlog" is a video-based blog and a vodcast is a video-based podcast.  But when it comes down to it, aren't they the exact same content?

A vlog is a weblog which uses video as its primary presentation format. It is primarily a medium for distributing video content. Vlog posts are usually accompanied by text, image, and additional meta data to provide a context or overview for the video. Vlogs or videoblogs are created by vloggers or videobloggers, while the act itself is referred to as vlogging or videoblogging. \n\nVODcast is an emerging term derived from the audio "podcast" and video.\n\nThey are essentially the same thing; although, vodcasts are distributed just like podcasts distributed.

Lots of people do this with hot items like the X-Box or Tickle-Me-Elmo.  They buy the hot item at the time and resell on eBay for double the original price once all of the stores ares old out.

Its business, they have there customers, if they have people who are willing to pay double the cost, then let them pay. If one complains about people selling toys for double its price, then why didn't you buy it when it was at an original price. Business is Business.

A fool and his money will soon be parted. why, because its more of a world market and not only that its an auction that makes some difference.\n\nYou know if its right or wrong.\n\nI don't necessarily think its right though either....but I am not going to judge you....if you are making 6 times what you paid for it,and you run across the item alot....I am just wondering why everyone else isn't doing it? maybe thats a rare example on your part,and maybe as I said as well it is rare in the country that bought it....I am just glad it wasn't me...because I would be pretty upset....I mean reverse roles here,and put yourself in the buyers shoes....even if its an auction....which I dislike anyway....because that in itself opens many doors for abuse in and of itself.


I have some cool ideas and good knowlege of compiler design also. But don't know where to start? And How to publish it

I'd say you ought to start by defining a grammar for your language. I know that was where we started in my Master's level compiler class. You might also try publishing some info about your ideas on a website (Geocities would provide free hosting) and try to solicit comments. Posting the URL on forums (like this one) might attract some feedback. I've never done something like that before, but I think that's what I'd try.


I use ppc so I know how it works but what tools, etc. does it take to start a ppc business?

I would suggest creating a blog, surround it with PPC ads, then promote your blog to a targetted audience. As far as specific tools, I wouyld suggest that you review: Clickbank.com, CJ.com, Pheedo.com and Refer-it.com.

In the winter, I often have to scrape my windshield in the morning.  However, if the night before was windy, I don't have a frost problem.

It is more difficult for the moisture to accumulate on your windshield when it is windy.  It takes some time for water to freeze when there is no wind at all so you can imagine how difficult it would be for water to accumulate and freeze when the wind is blowing.


Gravitational pull is always towards bottom, but fire is one thing that rises up. Why is it so?

The flame will heat the air molecules above it.These gas particles being free to move in any direction will move in the direction which has least opposition to it's motion .This is because the air above the gas has a lower density and hence is sparcer than the air below it .also the flame particles have a higher energy (due to their temperature)they tend to stay as far away from each other as possible .This creates a lower density of air around the flame .This low density sir will be pushed up by the surrounding air of higher density due to buoyant forces.Due to both these regions the flame has to move up


So that I can play them with other music players like winamp.

Yes, you can but not directly.  You will need a free conversion program called Jhymn.  After you have purchased the song in iTunes it is a protected AAC file.  Jhymn will strip the DRM protection from it and will convert it to a format of your choice such as a mp3.

My friend is so bossy every time she stays all night at my house I allways have to do what she says. Or she will say she will leave ow can we have fun without her saying that she can leave???

call your friend's bluff.  if she wants to leave so bad, then let her.  hee hee..  don't be mean tho.\n\nas a biatch, i often have trouble not being bossy.  you see, once i'm comfortable around people enough to just be me, my bossiness comes out.  since i know this about m'self, i can tone it down a bit.  even tho', i still like to remind my friends that if i feel comfortable enough to be bossy, they should feel comfortable around me to tell me to shut up once in a while!  hee hee!


Im started a new relationship and everything is going allright but how can i keep it that way or grow the love that we feel

I would have to say there are a few things that must be there for a relationship. \n\n1. Honesty\n2. physical attraction\n3. compromise\n4. compassion\n5. conversation\n& lastly 6. RESPECT! If you two do not have at least five of these things and hopefully they are #'s-1,3,4,5, and 6 then find someone else who will fit in with your standards. I could write like a ten pager about this but I thought it would bore you, so i briefed it for you. GOOD LUCK:)


The answers "ME!" and "Because you touch yourself at night" are not valid answers.\nScientific answers only.

Wikipedia has an excellent article on this.  According to them, there are 3 main theories:\n\n1. Asteroid collision\n\nBasically a huge rock hit our planet causing a plum of sediment to float into our atmosphere reducing light from the sun.  This reduction killed off a huge portion of the existing plant life, thus wiping out the food supply for many animals.  As one thing leads to another, massive extinctions followed.\n\n2. The Oort cloud\n\nSimilar to the asteroid theory, an Oort cloud is a literal storm of comets.  The results follow pretty closely with the single asteroid theory.\n\n3. Environment changes\n\nThis is a little more vague, but also a little simpler to prove to a degree (pun intended).  The theory follows the notion of the magnetic poles flipping (causing tremendous weather changes), or some other massive event (such as the melting of the caps, or an ice age) that would in turn kill off most of the larger species on the planet.\n\nFor further information, please read the wikipedia article.

Okay i am pretty sure the turbo2 motor would fit all you would need is a turbo 2 motor and its ecu plus some motor mounts would have to be done but that is a maybe the thing about your engine is that its to old 150000 is way to much on a rotary and then on top of that you wanna boost? go for it but be ready to lose your engine. o yeah were do you shave your own apex seals? cuz no matter what wenkle you use u use the 3mm apex any one with common knowledge abot the RX7 would know that. and i do cuz i happen to own a 1988 GLX. O yeah how do you lower compression on a rotary?


Usually it depends on if you got a good grade, you liked him/her, and vice versa


The loss is $100,000. If Company B has income, can they buy something from Company A for $100,000? Company A can then lend the money back. Company B benefits from an income tax deduction. Some time later when Company A is making money they can reverse the deal. Does this work?

It can work.  Can strike a futures contract with 100,000 up front.  The problem is...who is going to believe you?  thats why you give collateral...but what will you work with?  and not every company is in the business to do pawning..you see what i mean?  I guess the other company has to be your friend......

What are the best for handles and quickness


What are the pros and cons of doing this?\n\nDoes this mean they will no longer use my credit or debit card?\n\nDoes this lower the fees and if so who benefits from this?

According to PayPal:  "When you confirm your U.S. bank account, your Sending Limit is lifted. The amount of money you send through your PayPal account will not be subject to Sending Limits although the maximum dollar amount for any single transaction is $10,000.00 USD or the equivalent thereof."\n\nConfirming your bank account is very simple.  You just give PayPal your routing and account numbers.  They make two "microdeposits" into your bank account.  For example, they will deposit $0.17 and $0.05.  It will take about two days for it to show up in your account.  When the deposits are in your account, you just confirm your account by telling PayPal what the two amounts are.  They know that it is your account since you have access to the amounts.\n\nI would highly recommend confirming your bank account if you are a merchant.  As a customer, I would not send money to a non-confirmed merchant.\n\nYou still have the ability to use your credit and debit cards on PayPal.  But after you confirm your account, you also have the ability to send immediate payments from your checking or savings account.

How can a small business advertise on cable TV, local channels at the lowest price? I read in a magazine that cable TV ads can be purchased for as little as $50? Is this true?

Probably, but remember that only purchasing a few ads probably isn't a good use of your advertising dollars.\n\nThe two most important keys to effective advertising:\n\n1. Target the right demographic. What people purchase your products or services? Make sure you reach those people and not someone else. For example, advertising to business professionals during daytime soap operas while professionals are at the office probably won't be effective.\n\n2. Make sure your viewers (listeners, etc.) get enough repetitions to remember your ads. If someone sees your TV ad just once, odds are they won't even remember it. It takes a few viewings before people start remembering your ads. Try to make sure that when you purchase an air plan, your average viewer will receive at least 3 impressions (more are better), otherwise, you will likely be throwing your money away.\n\nAmongst various advertising media, outdoor (billboards) and radio traditionally have a lower cost per impression than TV, so they may be better deals for you.\n\nIf you do think you might be interested in TV advertising, talk to sales reps from your local TV stations and cable system(s). They should be able to develop air plans for you that target the demographics you are looking for.\n\nTV sales reps can also generally suggest commercial production companies that do affordable work. And they may even have special programs for new advertisers to make producing your first ad more affordable.\n\nIf you talk to several sales reps, you should be able to get a good deal simply by comparing prices. Just make sure that you're comparing apples to apples. You should be comparing the CPM (cost per thousand impressions) not the overall cost of running ads, or the number of ads being run. And you should make sure that the CPMs you compare are for the same demographic, for example, women 18-34, or people 25-49, income above $50,000.\n\nWhatever you decide your target demographic is, make sure all your CPM estimates from sales reps reflect those demographics and not some other numbers that the station thinks is more favorable to them. Some demographics are much cheaper to reach than others, and you will not be comparing equivalent pricing if you don't look at an identical demo.\n\nHope this helps. :-)


what are my right as the owner of the photos to display them on the internet for a fee?

BE CAREFUL!\n\nThe rules have changed drastically in the US regarding adult content. It's a little code passed and made more strict in the last 5 years called Title18, 2257. In a nutshell the code states that you must keep documentation for any model in adult situations. If you post the photos you must provide a link that tells an Attorney General and law enforcement where they can examine those documents. Take a look at some adult sites, see that link at the bottom, usually titled 2257? Well, that's what needs to be done.\n\nIf you don't comply and can't prove the models age- the punishment can be pretty harsh...prison time harsh. While there have been few prosecutions due to 2257, just wait. Alberto Gonzales has been hinting at coming down on the adult web. So, expect to hear some pretty scary stories in the next few years.\n\nMy advice, if these are just candid photos you took of your girlfriends with your digital camera and if you don't have permission or documents signed by people appearing in the photos, don't post them. You really have no rights to post them. Without that written permission and age verification, they are for your photo collection only.


I don't know anything about these things, and my ignorance scares me. I want to know everything. I want to know every type of STD, its symptoms, characteristics, & effects. I also want to know about HIV & AIDS. I often see them affiliated with each other; are they the same thing? I want to know the symptoms, characteristics & effects of HIV & AIDS as well. How can all these things be transmitted? What regions of the body are susceptible to these diseases?

Here's a source at the Center for Disease Control that should put you well on your way:\n\nhttp://www.cdc.gov/nchstp/dstd/disease_info.htm\n\nQuick summary:  STDs are Sexually Transmitted Diseases. HIV is the virus that cause AIDS, the disease, which is sexually transmitted (among other ways.)


I have a regular 2D grid of points that have been blurred by a Gaussian kernel and then sampled using an irregular grid.  Is there an efficient algorithm for deconvolving the kernel to recover an approximation to the underlying data?

One simple method is to take the fourier transform of the blurred image and the kernel. No divide transform of image by transform of kernel. In spatial domain this can be done by convolving the blurred image by the inverse of the kernel matrix.\n\nBut from textbooks on image processing, it becomes evident, that even if one has the actual kernel that was used to blurr the original image, it is difficult to reverse the process exactly.\n\nMoving on to a bit more advanced level, one can apply Minimum Mean Square Error filtering also known as Wiener Filtering. Disadvantage with the simple method shown above is that it does not always compensate for the noise produced in the image. This is were Wiener filter provides better results. It is based on objective of finding an estimate "est_I" of the original image I, so that mean square error between them is minimized. This error becomes\n\ne^2 = E[(I - est_I)^2]\n\nwhere E[] is the expected value of the argument.\n\nIf you search for practical implementation of wiener filter then I am sure you will find answer to how to actually implement it.\n\nI hope this was the answer you were looking for.

he's made choices people don't neccesarrily agree with.  He's passed laws and made moves and stuff that weren't in the best interests of American people.  Spending $400 billion on iraq, giving tax breaks to rich people, choking on pretzels, not acting fast in the wake of Katrina, just to name a few.  i really don't know how he won a second term.


Why do friends I make online always want to meet in real life and get upset when I say I'm not interested in more real-life friends?

Alot of times people who seek out friends online are shy in real life or use the Internet as an avenue to meet people. You know used to bars, work, and church were the places to meet girls or guys, but with sexual harassment being an issue in the work place and church attendance down, the Internet is fast becoming a place where others can meet people. And like the previous person said, after they meet you online they usually want to meet in real life...because face it, online communications get a bit boring and lonely. In your case, I'd be upfront and tell them that you are only interested in online friendships not meeting in real life. If they can't handle it, then dump them before you start becoming good friends.

Your security settings may be protecting your computer. Are you behind a firewall? Also, Norton Antivirus will not allow links to be opened unless you configure it to do so. You can also check settings in Outlook Express for security.


I just ran a spyware scan and came up with three items which were "quarantined."  What does this mean?  What do I do next? I have the feeling that the anti-spyware is waiting for me to make a decision. If so, how do I know which ones to "kill" and which ones to save?

It means the files are in a safe place where they cant do much harm to your computer...  If you computer still functions correctly after something has been quarentined, then the job was done correctly and you can erase the files in quarentine.

I am a sudent and i want to know about this field because of i want to participate in graduate school exam

As was mentioned below, the MBA is the masters of business administration degree. It is a professional degree aimed at training people in business management, although there are many places that have MBA degrees that offer specializations in particular areas of study (such as health care administration). It is usually a 2 year program, and there are now both classroom based and online courses. Many schools offer the MBA on a part-time basis, especially in larger cities, so that people who are working can also get a degree at the same time.

How do you know that u ar in love wity someone,

First part first: Because she's creamy and DOESN'T want you just then. And your buddy's nowhere to be found. ;) \n\nSecond part: Kiss her below the waist. Drive 'em WILD! But make sure you get her permission first! Tryin' that in public or with a woman you don't know that well WILL bring about a roundhouse faster than you can say, "Cunning linguist!" ;)\n\nLast part: If you're in love with someone, you'll know. Believe me, you'll know. If your brain or heart can't tell, Wee Willy Winky will tellya! But that might not be love, so be sure to consult with the rest of "The Boys" in making that determination. Good luck! (Please make sure she's not the same girl from the first part of your question. Unless you like cream.)


higher paying job adds 1 hour and need for second car. Current pay diff = 6k

I think you're asking the wrong question.  But here goes...\n\nQuick math:  If the other job is 50 miles further away, and your car gets 25 miles to a gallon, it'll take you 4 gallons of gas per day to commute the difference in the distance between the two jobs.  At $2.25 per gallon, buying 4 gallons of gas, working 250 days per year, it will cost you $2250 more in gas alone, just to commute.  Assuming your $6K will be taxed at a "marginal" tax rate of about 40%, you really are only getting $3600 more (take home).\n\nSo the far away job is going to be worth about $1350 per year (which is $3600 minus the gas costs), which is nowhere near the cost of a car (payments, insurance, maintenance, etc).  (Not to mention the stress of that much driving!)\n\nNot sure if my assumptions are correct, but that should give you a mathematical way to look at it.  Basically, if my assumptions are correct, you should NOT take this job if you are looking for short-term financial gains.\n\nHOWEVER, like I said, you are asking the wrong question.\n\nIf the current job is truly "dead end", then it's time to look elsewhere.  You really need to be looking out for the next 5 years when it comes to a job.  And remember, this is NOT a decision between just these TWO jobs... there are a lot of jobs out there, and I'm sure that there are non-dead-end jobs that are closer to home.\n\nWhat you should do is to evaluate what an ideal job looks like that you are qualified for.  I think that  being close to home should be one criteria (especially if transportation is an issue).  But look for something that has a 5-year possibility of growth.  Not that you need to be CEO in 5 years, but can you grow, and increase pay, and learn and be positioned for an even better job?\n\nThen conduct an aggressive, thorough job search.  That could be the subject of another question.  But you want to be in a position where you are deciding between two or three GREAT jobs, and then you're doing it right!\n\nNo dead end jobs.  Ever.

Springs inside guitar amps are used for a reverb effect.  If you pick up the amp an inch or so and drop it back to the ground (with the amp on), you'll hear a crazy loud spring-reverb sound.  Many newer amps use electronics instead of the mechanical "spring" reverb.


is like what is the diference between pre law studies, criminal justice, law, advanced legal reaserch,coparative law and international law.

Haha, no - criminal justice refers to the field of study that examines crime as a social phenomenon, and traditional focuses on the agents, procedures, and systems that societies create in order to deal with crime.\n\nPre-law studies are just that; they are tracks that some universities offer for those who want to go to law school and who may (or may not) know what area of law they want to get in to. From what I understand, these tracks usually consist of courses aimed at improving students' oral and written communication skills, their critical/analytical thinking, and creativity. Most also provide a survey of the different kinds of law, as well as giving you a historical backdrop for the practice.\n\nAdvanced legal research - I am not sure what you mean, but legal research in general refers to the process of digging up the legal matters surrounding some topic or issue. This is a complicated and tedious process, so I don't know if legal research is ever NOT "advanced." :-)\n\nComparative law studies laws between different countries (e.g. British law versus Chinese law) and between different legal systems (e.g. common law versus civil law).\n\nInternational law studies the rules that govern conduct between independent states. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a good example of the enactment of international law.\n\nI'm not a law student, so I might be off...clarification is welcome from those actually in the field!


e.g. Can the government come and ask you questions if it's a large amount? Especially if you don't have any work history. Will they ask where it came from?

If the amount is over $10000 the bank is required to file a currency transaction report which essentially starts a paper trail for the money. The bank can additionally file a suspicious activity report on any cash deposit that it deems to be suspicious.  For instance if you come in every day and deposit 9000 dollars, they are going to get suspicious.  The government won't ask you questions but you are required to disclose all income to the IRS, and if they do audit you and find through CTRs and SARs cash deposits you could be in trouble. \n\nHowever if this is an irregular deposit then it is not too much to be concerned about.  There are sections in the USA Patriot Act that detail the current guidelines on the filing of these forms.


I have a folder with around 2000 files. I wanted to retrieve the name and file size, and store it in a text file. In dos, the command "dir /ON > files.txt" does the work, but has many extra info like time created, volume no, etc. I justwanted the names and sizes. How can I do it?

You can experiment with dir /b, but probably the easiest way would be to drop the files.txt you already have into a spreadsheet, and just delete the columns of info that you don't need.


i need a program ritten in matlab for face matching

You need to learn to ask nicley, spell corectly and improve your grammer. As for writing a facial recognition program in Matlab that (if done fully and correctly) is a degree level project and not to be attempted lightly. If you are at this level then you should either attend your lectures or try asking your friends. A good place to start would be teaching yourself to program c++.

Ok, here is the senior: Your Clone and you decided to share all responsibilities of being each other, but he/she has taken it too far. They just took advantage of you by having a affair with your lover/spouse. Should you use violence against them? What would you do? \nSorry to have to rephrase my question so that I don't get another Crime Violation by the Yahoo Gods...\nHere's the answer that Carolina Dude gave: You be trippin' dude -  ibanfukanov gave: Better hurry up he thinks just like you, ya know!!! -  johnzilla2004 gave: Yes if your clone is giving you trouble then it time to take him out. Before the question was deleted.\nWhat Say the rest of You?

Technically, a clone is a person to. For all intents and purposes, he/she is actually a divergent "you." If the clone has your mind, your thoughts, and your knowledge, then for all intents and purposes, that clone is a divergent "you." After a particular while, the clone will begin to differentiate themself from you and become a slightly different person due to different experiences, inevitably causing them to become a completely different person who just happens to look like you and share some exact memories from the past. This tells us that clones, no matter how much they are like us when we first make them, are separate human beings and have the potential to become unique individuals. They would more than likely be guarded by civil laws, and killing him or her would technically be no different from murdering your brother or sister.\n\nBy the same token, a clone could also kill you off and pretend that you were the one who had been cloned from him/her.\n\nSo... find him fast as you can, tie him to a tree, and beat the livin crap out of him until he agrees to stop wrecking your life!

i found a web site, but i never heard of it and i am afraid it is a scam for my credit card number, because it asked for the security number on the back of the card, so i canceled the transaction to try to find more about the wedsite stompshow.com  it is the only site besides ebay that comes up when searching for the zeta phi beta chant cd.  please help!!!

by the phrase 'lack oppurtunities ' i mean by stagnant economies like the USA  and other developed countries,where everything has developed to the hilt and nothing new seems to be over the horizen in business or academically.are there areas in which one could still venture and try his hand out starting firstly as a novice and become successful and rich. tell me ! answer me ! tell me the areas where an average student(but who like to work hard outside the academic sphere i mean apart from studies) like me could make a mark in todays world. 'ope to here from anyone soon ! looking forward to your wisdom and answer .thanking you .takecare bye.

There will always be opportunities out there.  The economy has nothing to do with it - it's the person who sees a problem and finds a way to fix it. And hopefully entertain people while he or she is at it.\n\nWhat I've seen most is people who are in a particular field so they know the problems inherent in that field.  Then they develop a solution and sell it.


I am currently in Calculus class and have gotten A's throughout all of my math classes.  In Algebra II we started to deal with imaginary numbers.  i is an imaginary number that stands for the square root of -1, and 7 is not a perfect root, so, the final answer to this question is i root 7 (the answer would look like the letter i infront of a squareroot sign with a 7 inside of it).


I want to try using Linux, but I've never done it before. It's kind of confusing with all the builds and the need to partition. Are there any builds which will partition for me? Any general knowledge would be great.

Ubuntu is a great way to go, it will partition the free space on your drive.  It is free, and they will even send you free CD's if you can't download it for some reason (if you are asking a question here, I assume you are already online). For me, the best part of Ubuntu is the community. There is a great community of people from around the world, that are very polite and always happy to help answer any questions that you may have: http://www.ubuntuforums.org\n\nEven though Ubuntu is currently on version 5.1 (Breezy Badger), http://ubuntuguide.org which was written for version 5.04 (Warty Warthog), is still a great guide that is very helpful as well.\n\nThe Synaptic Package Manager makes it VERY easy to install additional programs, and most of them are free.\n\nThere is a live CD (which runs from the CD, but is slower), if you would like to try it without having to install it to your hard drive first:\nhttp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/5.10/\n\nGive it a try, I am sure that you will like it. I installed Ubuntu as a dual-boot about 5 months ago, and I finally removed Windows about two months ago. I am here to stay.

Although an expert may have passed a qualification exam or a series of exams, his acceptance as an expert is not necessarily dependent on his formal education or degrees.

undoubtedly true.  though widely considered to be one of this centuries' great business strategists, i.e., experts (at least as measured empirically through shareholder returns), bill gates never graduated college.  there are countless examples of similar success stories, regardless of discipline, where the person in question didn't complete a formal education but went on to become an expert in their field.

Whats the legal age to have sex?? Are you a minor if your under 18 or 16?

i am not sure if there is a legal age to have sex. f a 2 year old has sex with a 2 year old they wont be arested for it.

Key Note:  Houston plays San Francisco Last Game of the Season.

My gut (and hopes) tell me the 49ers will get Reggie. Why? It would take too many factors for the Texans to get him:  \n- Houston already has one win and have a chance of getting another vs the Jags who looked terrible against the 49ers on Sunday. \n- Although the 49ers got one of their two wins vs St Louis, the chances of them doing it twice in one season are minimal. \n- Let's say both the Texans and 49ers lose this week. Fast forward to the Bush bowl - the Texans will probably win. They're a better team. The only way the 49ers could lose getting Bush is if they miraculously beat Houston, then it gets handed to the league to determine difficulty of both team's matchups.\n\nShort answer: 49ers have about a 75% chance of getting Bush.

Start by downloading a 3D development kit and study the API's and tutorials that are available in them.  Your choices are basically OpenGL or Direct3D.  Direct3D is a Microsoft product while OpenGL is a more open standard; if you have any experience with Microsoft development tools Direct3D might be the better choice.  If you prefer Linux use OpenGL.


"Primal Scream" describes a portion of primal therapy.  During this type of therapy, created by Dr. Arthur Janov, patients were encouraged to work through their childhood demons by crying, hitting objects or screaming.  Dr. Janov believed that by physically processing emotional pain, it could be more easily overcome.  This theraphy fell out of favor as Dr. Janov's hypothesis was not able to be validated.  Today, this therapy has been incorporated into traditional and non-traditional therapies - sometimes becoming violent.

eons to adopt our sense of vision to light as an aid to survive. So we didn't exactly undergoe this evolution for knowledge. So what we are seeing might be a highly altered version of the universe around us and there may not be a constant truth. So how can we be sure that our perception's right about time and space and work on the field based on the human opinion and vision of the universe?

the formulas are what convince me.  I've had to derive so many complicate formulas myself, and most of them, especially mechanics formulas can be proven, such as measuring a quantities, solving for a missing variable, then doing an experiment and getting the same answer.  This is too much to be a coincedence or something.  Most theories and things are developed before formulas and actual mathamatical relationships are found, then they find them and it all fits together nicely.  Even with reletivity and things with spacetime, there are a lot of concrete formulas, and once you have the satisfaction of deriving them yourself from previously proven formulas... it all clicks nicely, that's why im a physics major, curiosity about everything like this.  I guess human perception can be valid once connections start being made between things, because when ideas are incorrect, they really don't connect to other things very easily.


Yes, and they make one the best honey!\n\nKiller bees been producing honey as they do today for at least 100 million years (since the Cretaceous period)*. Killer Bees produce honey as food stores for the hive during the long months of winter when flowers aren't blooming and therefore little or no nectar is available to them. European honey bees, genus Apis Mellifera, produce such an abundance of honey, far more than the hive can eat, that humans can harvest the excess. For this reason, European honey bees can be found in beekeeper's hives around the world!


I have a girl that I'm interested in and have disclosed my feeliings to her- and despite knowing all of this she just wants to hang out with me but doesn't want to enter in a relationship. Does it actually mean she's interested? (She's willing to hold my hand and go on vacations with me, but nothing has happened between us. ( What should I do?)

Unfortunately, what this means is not that the girl is interested (right now) but that she is being a little bit selfish.  If you are young, this is natural.  She enjoys having someone to hang out with and go on vacations with but that doesn't necessarily reflect on her feelings for you.  If she was interested than she would not be WILLING to hold your hand, but rather would be looking forward to any type of contact with you.  Her memories are more of what she has done or where she has gone, rather than of you.  However, in the future she could develop feelings for you.  If you want to know how she feels about you, try spending time with her with limited entertainment.  Just invite her over to listen to music and talk.  If she is interested in you, this will appeal to her and if not, she will decline until you present a more tempting offer like going on an awesome vacation.  Good luck.


I always thought she was a fictional character... or is she?

Yes, Carmen Sandiego is a fictional character. She appeared in many games (computer and console, but computer are the best). She also has starred some movies, though I don't follow the movies.\n\nCarmen is a legendary (in her world) thief. No one can arrest her, not even the main character (we, the player). She can steal everything she wants (from a tiny emerald to a huge taj mahal). And she also can disguise herself as anyone (luckily, not anything).\n\nThere are already many games of her, like "Where in the Time Carmen Sandiego?", "Where in the World Carmen Sandiego?", "Where in the Space Carmen Sandiego?", etc, etc.


In June, I moved in with my dad and she got really upset. I'm afraind that she won't take me to the airport. What should I do in that case?

Firstly I hope you have fun with your mother. Maybe something like this would make you feel better so that you won't have to be thinking about it during your visit:\nTalk to your father and make a back up plan. Of course I don't know how far it is from your mom's to the airport, that being said, perhaps you can make sure you have money for a cab to the airport, So if mom refuses you can call a cab.

I had a quick question which I am hoping has a simple answer yet I doubt it does. I have owned many companies ranging from manufacturing to software. I have always found the financing part confusing with regards to one issue: Is it possible to do a private placement to raise funds from accredited investors without utilizing a broker dealer? For example,...can a company take a 2 step approach such as the following: 1) create a general ad campaign dispersed to the general public and then "filter out" accredited investors 2) once the accredited investors have been qualified they are then presented the opportunity by employees of the actual company raising the money. I ask this question because of my last company. I started the company with $1200, and in a few years grew it into cash flow of $10MM, and yet still was unable to attract VC financing. I did not want to go the public route yet still wanted the ability to raise funds for additional growth. Any help/direction would be appreciated

rule 501 regulation d of 1933 sec act provides for limited sales to accrdited investors.  General solicitation may be your problem here.  There are limitations to the solicitation you are using. you would still be subject to state blue sky laws. see http://www.law.uc.edu/CCL/33ActRls/rule501.html for a start.  However it is actually pretty easy.

My BF is tired of being the one in charge when we are having physical activity. For some reason I just cannot seem to get it going right when I am on top. I dont knww whether to go back and forth or up and down or what?!? \nI am not joking I really need some help. I have thought about looking at movies with sexual content but I realize mainly them man is doing all the work. SOOO I really need some advice or some help from women out there who know how to put it on their man!!! Help me Please!!!!\nps- I am well over age and this is no where near my first sexual experience nor first boyfriend. This is no joke.

try to have him with his shoulders on the bed and with his feet on the floor and holding his hips up in the air. then you can face him or away from him. then you have more control and you can stand up a little and have more movement. this can give you more control on the depth and speed and placement inside you.

i noticed philips audio system at about 80$ in amazon.com.i read customers rating.but it`s 50/50.what do you recomend me


is it a new cool word, or it realy means something?\nsomething like organizing your life...

Hacking is a programmers term. One definition is "modifying existing programs to add functionality or to use them for something other than their original purpose." Life Hacking is modifying the way that you do things and finding methods/tricks to make your life run more smoothly. It applies to both your work life and your personal life.  It may be something as simple as e-mailing yourself reminders or as complex as reorganizing the basic way you work.\n\nMany of the Life Hacking advocates are "disciples" of David Allen, author of the book "Getting Things Done" (see amazon.com link below)\n\nTwo web sites to look at are http://www.lifehacker.com and http://www.43folders.com/

My Documents contain Zone Labs (firewall) Applications duplications. Are they merely files that can be deleted or are they applications that I must uninstall (they are not listed in Add/Remove Programs)? Or, if I have to uninstall them do I have to find out from Zone Labs how to do it? \nI also have three different My Documents - \n(1) C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\My Documents\My Documents (218 MB, 782 files) (2) My Documents/Personal (I do not know how that indication of Personal got there) (453 MB,1463 files) (3) C:\WINDOWS\Desktop\My Documents (218 MB, 782 files). Each of them contain the Zone Labs duplicates indicated as Applications. \nI want to eliminate the duplicates in order to free up space.\nI am fearful of deleting items that have to be uninstalled as I understand that I can crash my computer if I do that.\nPlease help!\nThanks.\nHoward

Well simply select delete. As you are trying to delete shortcut to application. the windows try to show that it is smart and hence ask you weather you want to delete the file or uninstall the application. As you said you just want to delete the duplicate shortcuts then just select delete.


I'm shooting for long term gains. In a pro's eyes, which is better to start off with and why?

Assuming you're talking about indexing...\n\nETFs generally have lower expenses, but you buy them like stocks & pay comissions.\n\nMutual funds have higher expenses, but you generally don't (or shouldn't) pay fees to get into them.\n\nIf you're looking at periodically (say each payday) adding to the investments, mutuals may be cheaper since you don't pay comissions each time.\n\nIn the long run, an ETF that mirrors the same index as a mutual fund will be cheaper because the fund expenses keep eating away at your returns.

they explain where it comes from, but not how it's made. Sure it's from silkworms and mulberry trees, but the way the chinese found out about silk is they dropped a cocoon into a bowl of very, very hot water (that was previously boiling) and the cocoon turned into a soft, pliable thread that could be unraveled, refined, spooled and made into garments for upperclass people. For years the chinese guarded the secret with their lives! They would do anything to protect the secret.


I understand the usual way to say it is, "I believe it IS possible that...", but would like to know if you can take out the "is" and have it be proper.  Please provide supporting references, if available.  Thanks!

I underwent a full mouth extraction last week & am wondering, realistically, how long it will take before my gums heal enough for me to wear denture adhesive. Does anyone with dentures remember how long it took for theirs?

hi there i have underwent this same surgery includind scraping of the roof of my mouth 3 years ago which the bone in the roof of my mouth as drop due to the nose fracture and it took me about 12 weeks for the gums to heal but the only problem is that because the extraction of the teeth i still got some small fragment of bone from the jaw that still ounce in a while come out and i have to admit that it hurts under a denture i hope that i have been of use for you good luck to you P.S. rinse your mouth 2 or 3 times a day with 1 teaspoon of SEA SALT in a glass of warm water it will help you heal faster

me and my ex-boyfriend were together for a year when we broke up. its been five months, but i think that there are still feelings there between the both of us. how do i get him back?

Just tell him how you feel, call him up and tell him that you still love him and need him, if he feels the same(which is a 99% chance) then he will come running back to your arms.

me and my girlfriend have been having sex for bout 2 weeks now and she hasnt had her period yet. about a month ago she stopped taking a birth controll pill and she hasnt had a period since. but i have never ejackulated in her b4 but i dont use a condom either. i need to no if her missed periods might be a side affect of the pill or is she pregnent?

1.  She doesn't use birth control\n2.  You don't wear a condom.\n3.  She missed a period.\n\nChances are she's pregnant.  The chances are high.  Ejaculation isn't always the way to get someone pregnant.  PRECUM, which is the the ejaculation before the main event, is usually what gets a woman pregnant.\n\nSorry bud, but the chances are high that you'll be a daddy.

Did he support the right, oppose it, or ignore it?

In 1992, he campaigned to enforce federal obscenity laws.  Over his tenure as President, though, his administration and the Department of Justice largely ignored federal obscenity law.  I've included a link to Morality in Media, an anti-pornography group that expressed its disapproval of the Clinton administration's lack of action in federal obscenity crimes, noting that in 1997 only 6 obscenity prosecutions took place, and in 1998 only 8.\n\nClinton agree with Congress in certain pornography controls, tightening virtual child pornography regulations under the Child Online Protection Act in 1998.  The bill was later struck down by the Supreme Court on First Amendment grounds.\n\nAll in all, Clinton was verbally nominally opposed to pornography, lax in most areas of enforcement, and compliant with Congress in tightened protection for minors.


Should we extend the weekend into 3 days and therefore shorten the work week into 4 days?  Why yes or why not?

Yes, but should extend the work day to 10hrs therefore making up for that lost day, in turn just rearranging the hours so that when u have to work u use more of your day to work and when you have 3 days off you have more time for yourself


I need to know if it is possible to send electricity "wirelessly" over electromagnetic waves... if you know, I need an answer!

It is possible, since electromagnetic waves carry energy, although you are not really sending electricity, more just transferring energy. Having solar collectors in space that 'beam' energy to earth via microwaves (high refrequency radio waves) has been seriously considered.\n\nAny solar panel is also converting electromagnetic waves to electricity, os the answer is definitely yes.

Hi, I am like to understand this 2 things:\n(I am a freethinker)\n\n1. As I my knowladge Muhammad cannot read and write(Sorry If I am wrong). So who actually write A-Quran and how long after his death.The fact that Muhammad cannot read and write, what actually this mean to Muslim.How Muslim really sure Al-Quran is correct.\n\n2. Why Non Muslim cannot enter muslim holy site (Macca as example). What actually this mean??

1. Mouhammad used to tell his companions every piece of Quran that he recieves and they used to write it. It was not compiled into one book until after his death though. After he Died, The rulers made sure when they compiled the Quran that every verse they got through a trustworthie person and he had to have 2 witnesses that heard the Prophet say that verse.\n\nThe significance of Mouhammad not being able to read or write, means that he couldnt have been able to come up with such PERFECT words. That proved to everyone that these words where Alla's words\n\n2. Non muslims CAN enter mosques. I am not sure about Mecca though because it is the House of Allah, anyone who enters it, must be a believer


Our split up was due to a really bad situation. No adultery involved. However the tust was shattered!

Not knowing the details, it is tough to answer, but there are various types of women out there, and for some, trust is everything. If you did enough to make her leave you, it must have been pretty bad. I would assume (since I don't know the circumstances) that either there have always been trust issues, or that your infidelity (of whichever type) was long standing and ongoing, and so she felt betrayed. In both cases, I don't know if there is anything you could do. If she left because of pure emotional reaction, you might have a chance, but if it was an intellectual decision, it is not likely to work. Emotion can be reasoned with - an overreaction can be dealt with, but logic is usually rock solid.  You could offer therapy for you both, however if you are already 'divorced', it seems a little too final to try that. Apologies alone won't really get you anywhere. Not much of an answer, but without any details, it's the best I've got. My main advice though is to know when to give up. Some battles can't be won. At some point, you might have to just count your losses, consider this an expensive learning experience, and don't make the same mistake next time.


Do we first stabalize all formal charges (and make them equal to charge on atom and minimize their spread) and then construct resonance structures based off the ones with minimized formal charge.\n\nOr do we construct resonance structures without any heed to formal charges and then pick the best ones taking formal charge into account.\n\nI am studying for a final and I would like to know how to answer a question like "Draw the Lewis dot structure and resonance structures- if applicable"

You always want to place the formal charges in the places they will spend the most time--hence, the formal charges are what you'd draw up first, based generally on the electronegativity and stability of the place.  The resonance structures are just to give you an idea as to where the electrons might wander over to.\n\nTechnically, all the Lewis structures are just to help you understand the charges.  In reality, the elecetrons are constantly moving about, with their locations only localized by a probabilistic model.  The formal charges are indicative of the highest probability that a given electron will be found, while the resonance structures are the less probable locations to find the electron.

we're the only country that has the death penalty and i want to see what fellow americans think about that.

Correction, more than a hundred countries still have death penalties, some still using firing squads, public hangings, stoning and three still chop off the victim's heads.\nFor Christians the problem is one of bending "Thou shall not kill."  For others it may or may not be a moral issue.\nPersonally, I do not see any moral action in killing a human to punish him or her for killing another.

What does A&R stand for in the music industry and what are their responsibilities?

Artist and repertoire (A&R for short) is a music industry term that refers to the division of a record label that is responsible for scouting and developing talent. The A&R department is the link between the recording artist/act and the record label, and is often required to handle contractual negotiations, find songwriters and record producers for the act, and schedule recording sessions.\n\nOne of the A&R department's main jobs is sorting through the plethora of demo tapes sent by hopeful musicians to the label. A&R departments typically only accept solicited demos, or ones from business contacts that they are familiar with.\n\nIn some more artistic record labels, creativity is encouraged and songwriting and record producing is done by the artists.\n\nExamples of A&R people include\n\n    * Simon Cowell\n    * Ian Dickson\n    * Mark Holden\n    * Chuck Paugh\n    * Frankie Vega\n    * Ben Watt\n    * Brad Delson

the warden of the prison also helps them escape to do jobs for them

It is the hard word\n\nFirst-time director Scott Roberts gets it pretty right with this inyaface Aussie crime caper about three brothers who are just too good.at what they love best: robbing banks.\n\nGuy Pearce leads the Twentyman brothers as sort of mastermind Dale. He’s in jail and Rachel Griffiths is his unlikely moll wife who seems to be in bed with conniving lawyer Frank (Robert Taylor). \n\nThe scam is simple. The boys get snuck out of jail to pull their heists and everyone from the cops to the prison governor are cut in. Until Frankie decides he wants it all, including the lady- and there’ll be no witnesses.\n\nIt’s funny, black and rather surreal. Naturalism buffs will not adore this as much as looser-limbed viewers. But it’s helter-skelter action and remarkably little violence. Strong language though as you’d expect from a writer whose other film was the batty Denis Hopper vehicle The American Way in 1987.\n\nOne lovely touch totally misunderstood by almost every critic so far is the family argot based on butcher’s slang which the lads use to keep their personal stuff, er, personal.\nIf you could handle Chopper you will like this and ignore the spoilsport bourgeois critics of the national press when they come to savage it!


I have read some about this and want to know what others think about Whey Protein.\n\nhttp://www.kahmer.com

Whey protein is one of the highest quality proteins.  Protein quality is measured based on the amino acid composition of the protein in comparison with the amino acid proportions the body needs.  Egg is generally considered to have a quality of 100%, and some lecture notes I was given for my med school biochem class put whey protein at second best at about 93%.


The trouble with the apple headphones is they have the white cord, which is like wearing a "I have an iPod, steal me" sign.  Sony still makes tons of headphones, I am a big fan of their vertical, in-ear headphones, the ones with the shaped earbuds.  They are so good at blocking noise that you can have them really quiet and still hear it fine (helps save your hearing).


Mind you, the question is not so obvious. And please do tell why.

Before it begins to snow, the system begins to cool the air down to ground level.  As this happens, moisture in the ground moves up into the weather system, and eventually mixes with the already cold water, ect within the cloud.  As the snow begins to fall, the temprature drops for a short period of time, and then stabilizes. \n\nThis stabilization happens so that the snow can continue to fall without turning into ice.  On average, winter snow will fall between 14 F and 30 F.  However, it is possible for snow to fall at lower tempratures, however you will see an increase in temprature to have snow fall.\n\nNot all snow falls, however, fall within that temprature range.  Area's such as alaska, greenland, siberia, ect, can have snow even when it is much much colder.  However, the general rule still applies:  snow fall equels an increase in temprature untill a stabilization point has been reached.\n\nSnow that falls within the normal range is usualy wet snow, ie it is snow that is mixed with a bit of melted snow (water vapor), thus causing it to be heavy snow.\n\nSnow that falls below the temprature range tends to be dry snow, ie, snow that has completely frozen over.\n\nDry snow can be a major problem as it doesn't allow for the stabilization to occure at a quick rate, instead, blizzards, huge snow storms, ect, can take effect before the storm system actually stabilizes.\n\nHope that made sens\e

Their customer service is the worst in the business and they don't realize it. I have bought 12 computers from them and now I'm abandoning them. If they would have changed, my mindset would be different, but they REFUSE TO CHANGE, so I will.

Just as a note to the last individual: yah, Canadians ARE so freakin nice, Dell does not outsource to Canada (has Dell-owned call centers in Canada), and many of the call centers in India are, also, not outsourced.\n\n Maybe your question could be more specific. What happened? WHY are you abandoning Dell? I work for Dell's DOC department, in a NON-OUTSOURCED Canadian call center, and I know Michael Dell cares A LOT about what his consumers think. He will often monitor calls himself or even take calls. \n\nMost large companies, espically those that outsource, have a difficult time controlling ALL of their employees and making sure they are representing the company as a concerned and understanding individual. To handle the flow of calls, so you are not waiting hours to speak to someone, requires a great deal of man-power; the more people you have between the top and the front line, the more difficult it is to ensure everyone is upholding your principles. How far did you go with your experience? Maybe you should try writing to Michael Dell to let him know your concerns. \n\nI find, at least as far as technical support, that some customers have expectations that are unrealistic. Many people think that because you bought -insert the name of any software product made by another company here- with their computer, that Dell should provide support for it. Think about it, if you buy Norton Antivirus from BestBuy, do you complain to them about Norton not working and expect them to fix it? Not likely. you contact the manufacture who is specialised in it. Many people have problems with their systems due to spyware and adware programs, but dont know they need to install anti-spyware software and do not recognise the symptoms. My question is, where you looking for free assistance with a DELL MANUFACTURED PRODUCT? \n\nI am not speaking on behalf of Dell here, but meerly my own experiences and how I look at our service. I would, at least, suggest contacting Michael Dell prior to giving up on Dell completely. I know that we DO hear feed back from him regarding both positive and negative customer experiences.\n\nPS: I have worked for other major comuter manufacturers and I must say Dell is NOT the worst in the industry, by far. The most important statistic agents are graded on here is customer experience, not call time as it is for most (forcing customers through as fast as possible to take more calls).

Ok you need to look at the fact that she went back on her word. Now it may be true that she spent the week with you but all she had to do was call you & inform you that she was going to the dance. Talk to her. Explain that you just want her to respect you that is all. Now dont be mad, calm down. If she does it again, start looking for a replacement...


I am invested in the stock but am interested if anyone has insight into the company's future.

Doubt it. It is rated as one of the lowest stocks according to investors.com.

The volume control resets itself to zero! You can see the slider icon dropping down to the base level of zero volume. How do I rectify this problem? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall the software for the soundcard.

Ummm... you haven't really given enough information for me, or anyone for that matter, to answer that question. Try these 3 things, then, if they don't work I reccomend you re-post this question with some system specs\n\n1. Try the windows troubleshooter/knowledgebase it's got a pretty extensive list of windows problems\n2. Try your soundcard/computer(if its integrated) manufacturers website, they might have rports of this problem.\n3. Try Google or Yahoo searching for the details of your problem, odds are someone else has had it if your Laptop is stock. \n\nTo answer this question we would need details like, what kind of notebook, XP Pro or Home, SP 1 or 2, what kind of soundcard etc...


In fact any computer nowadays is fast as you don't ever need - unless you're gaming, 3D design, video encoding and so on...\n\nThe question is if the computer is optimized. This means, with the given software and hardware configuration, is the computer as fast as it normally should be.\n\nA system free of virus, spyware and hardware faults can still be slow. The important thing is where the processing speed is going. If you have a 500Mhz pc for example, you shouldn't run WindowsXP with full graphical details. As long as you can figure out where you processor speed is going, and you manage it to point towards you primary task, you'll be just fine.

There has been news that the recent floods in south India, the hurricane's in the US are due to global warming. But to my understanding, global warming increases the average suface temperature of earth...How does it change the climate?

Though it may sound crazy, global warming can cause an Ice Age. You see, there's an underwater wall keeping the super-cold water of the Arctic Ocean out of the a lot warmer water of the Alantic Ocean. Global warming makes this wall dissolve, letting the cold water meet the warmer water, overall lowering the temperature of the oceans. Meanwhile, the glaciers start to melt and slide. Now that the oceans aren't as warm, the glacierscan continue to move south and cover a chunk of the Northern Hemisphere in ice. In short, an ice age.\n\nHowever, ice cores are showing that global warming isn't as bad as we thought. the ice cores show that the average global temperature 100,000 years ago would go up and down by 10 degrees in a matter of decades. In comparison, our global warming is warming at a rate of 1 degree per century. Is global warming going to cause the next Ice Age? Or are threats empty? YOu decide.
