Suppose that Darth Vader is at the premiere of Ep 3 giving autographs and Superman walks in with his supergay outfit, Vader doesn't want him to steal his thunder and being the evil dude and all, he attacks Superman.\nWho would win, and most importantly, why?

However strong Superman may be, he is definetely not the sharpest knife in the drawer. So he will be  easily force pushed into gimpish slavery by Vader, who will eventually make him a flying lap dog.\n\nUnder his new command, Superman will switch to black shiny leather tights which will make him look supergay, and he will lay facedown on the broken train tracks for other reasons.

My acoustic guitar won't tune. I just can't get C to work without snapping the string. I've even got a electronic tuner to dial it in perfectly. It's an Ibanez, I've rarely played it and I got it brand new 6 years ago. Is it warped or something?

It sounds to me like you have a problem with the key. By this I mean the itemthat you twist to get a string to get tighter. This is often a problem in cheap guitars.\n\nI am not sure what you mean about "C". The Guitar has strings on a normal tuning as follows:\n* E\n* A\n* D\n* G\n* B\n* E\n\nWhat do you mean by "C"?\n\nI have played guitar for over 25 years. So I do have a clue about this beyond personal experience in a general sense. You can contact with me directly, but I am not sure if I am allowed to post my email due to the answers rules. Therefore I do not post it

I needed more space on my motherboard so i bought a Promise Technology host adapter/disk accelerator. I use it for my third hard drive. As soon as I install the driver my PC starts shutting itself down. When I send the error report to windows it's a stop error caused by a device driver, i'm sure it's the Ultra 100tx2/133 tx2 driver i installed to run the pci card. Is there another driver I can use to run this device?

I don't believe in any of these third party tools. Disk Accelerators, more memory, disk cleanup.\n\nBe very careful when you use these tools. They can harm your computer instead of helping you. The only thing I understood from you is that you bought a disck accelerator. The only thing that can accelerate your computer is three things, more memory, a new CPU and a new Video Card.\n\nMy suggestion: Don't use it and uninstall it. You will get more headaches if you keep going this way. Good luck.


i have a form to send queries.i am using cdo/cdon't in asp and smtp server in asp.net.i don't get any error message while submitting the form.but the mail is not delivered.

check your SMTP server, or ask your internet provider of what's the SMTP Server (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) this protocol serves as the sending protocol of your email on your website, also contact your hosting services about the coding in SMTP

Wow... an easy question and a hard question.\nThe key to getting fit is to be active and eat right.\nI will just talk about the active part.\n\nThere are 2 key things that have worked for me.\n1. Do something every day\n2. Variety\n\nSo first of all you have to find something you like to do.  If you don't like it, you wont have fun doing it.\n\nSecondly, you need to have variety.  If you do the same thing every day, I don't care how fun it is you will get bored of it!\n\nSo a very good way to do this is find a friend or partner that likes to do things you like to do.\n\nWhatever you do, do it for at least 1 hour.  Even light activity for 1 hour, every day, is good for you.\n\nGood luck!

I'm looking to begin using Linux for my everyday OS. However, I'm running into some snags with my hardware.\n\nMy video card is an Intel 82845g. It goes up to 1280x1024 in 32 bit mode. In Linux it doesn't go above 1024x768, which is an obvious frustration as it limits my desktop space.\n\nIntel's website has some drivers listed, but I am lost as far as which one to download and even more lost as far as what to do with the file once it is downloaded.

What does Auld Lang Syne mean and why should Auld acquaintances be forgotten?

Auld acquaintances should not be forgotten.  The first line is a question:\n\nShould auld acquaintance be forgot,\nAnd never brought to mind?\n\nRoughly translated as:  Should we forget old friends and never think of them?  \n\n(A New Year's Question -- forget the past? Or remeber and celebrate it? The answer is in the chorus:)\n\nWe'll tak a cup o kindness yet, \nFor auld lang syne! \n\n\nTranslation: We'll have a drink for old time's sake (to remember old friends and times.)\n\nThe poem is by Robert Burns.


I want to share a broadband  connection. \nIs it possible to connect multiple routers as subnets so each can enable its own DHCP? If you have the main central router (MAIN) and client routers (B)(C), I know you can connect WAN uplink ports on routers (B) & (C) to the the main router LAN ports using a crossover and disabling DHCP & configuring IP address for routers B & C outside of the DHCP range of the MAIN router. But I want DHCP enabled so each router is like a private network. Can this be done?

I've actually tried your proposed setup using a slightly scaled down setup i.e. with a main router that's connected to my ISP and a single client router that is connected to the main router. To be on the safe side, I used used a different private IP range (172.16.x.x and 192.168.x.x) for each router's DHCP pool. Donno what would happen if both routers use the same range...theoritically, I think they should work fine because the NATs shouldn't care what IP ranges are used on either side of each box.


based on daily emails, hundreds of texts, and daily phone calls. Having already met some family members in person or over the internet or via phoneand even started immigration process

I met my husband via the internet several years ago.\n\nWe were chat buddies at first.  Later, we met in person.  Our bond grew.  Later, we married ourselves to each other.\n\nHe gives me a wake up call every morning.  We talk on the phone often.  We do Yahoo chat together nearly everyday of the week.  \n\nThis is OUR marriage, and we're really quite proud of it.  He lives in the Philippines.  I work and live in the USA, but I consider the Philippines my true home.  In a heartbeat, I would sponsor him to come to the USA, but neither of our countries legally affords Gays any immigration benefits.  So, we do what we have to do.  I'm fortunate that my job gives me June, July, and a few weeks in December off, so that I can be with him.  When I am finished with my career, I will retire to be with him there.

i have skin pigmentation... it started near nose area.. but it is spread across my cheeks.. i think it is due to exess melonin secreation...\n\nplz help me out... i am from chennai, India

ok is it hyperpigmentation(darkening) or hypopigmentation(whitening) you havent mentioned?? i presume it to be hyper cos u very well know bout MELATONIN ...yes that is the pigment present in skin... the pattern involving nose then spreading to cheeks is rather disturbing specially if you r a female and i recommend that u show to a good dermatologist or medicine doctor it might be SLE but u better confirm first before gettin trippy....

I bought a 160 gb harddrive and I installed it and I can only use 121 gb of it. I thought it was becasue it was FAT32 and changed it to NTFS but still it wont let me use 160 gb.. I tryed installing SP1(i use windows xp home edition) and I tryed to go to BIOS to changed the CHS settings.. but it keeps changing back.. Can anyone help??

You probably need to update your BIOS, check with the manufacturer to see if an update is available.  Some older motherboards don't like seeing a 160GB hard drive and will limit your storage no matter what you do in Windows.

I have a nice, puffy blister on the tip of my middle finger. It does not hurt, but it feel really funny when I am trying to type or play my instruments. Should I pop it and get it over with or wait for it to go away on it's own?

If you pop it, it will feel raw (and feel weird) for a day or two, then be fine. If you don't then it'll take longer, but your finger won't have a small scar and it'll be better in the long run.

Muslims make up a very large number of the people, but so many people don't know about them and their holidays until much later in life? Kids know about Hanukah and Passover from a young age! When I say I don't celebrate Christmas and I'm not Christian, people automatically ask if I'm Jewish. It ticks me off so much! They put up 30 ft. Christmas trees and large menorahs in the holiday season, but when Muslim holidays come around, nothing is done except for a small article in the paper about that the holiday is here. Nothing else. I'm sooooooooo pissed off about so much attention given to a small thing in the country!!!!!!!

Jews are what came before Christians and Muslims.  They're a large and very well established "race". They have also been openly persecuted throughout written history and still today are threatened all around.  That's probably why there's so much attention.  As far as Muslims go, I don't think you would expect that much attention until the terrorism brought it to attention.  Then there were countless TV commercials telling us that Muslims were not bad people and that these acts were committed by a handful of radical maniacs, thereby bringing Muslims to our attention.  I think because of that we are learning more but there was just no reason to earlier.  We also tend to ignore the other major religiions of the world because they aren't right there in our face.  How much does the average Chinese adult know about Christianity?  I really wouldn't know.\n\nAnyway, Happy Holidays!


If you had a bouncy ball and you dropped it in a container that could be quickly pressurized and depressurized. When you drop the ball the container pressurizes so the lets say 1000atm of pressure are on the top of the ball. Just when it is about to hit the ground the pressurized container becomes a vacuum or loses alot of pressure. What happens to the ball when it hits the ground? Does it bounce really high?\n\nJust Wondering :)

The ball would bounce higher if the container kept a vacuum in it the entire time.  The first thing to understand is that there will not be pressure on top of the ball, there will be pretty much equal pressure around the ball from all sides; the air will spread evenly throught the container very rapidly.\n\nThis air will create drag, which will slow the descent of the ball and reduce the kinetic energy and momentum of the ball.  Drag and friction are called non-conservative forces, because when kinteic energy is lost to them, it is not transferred to another object, rather it is gone and not retrievable.  (It actually does get transferred, because no energy can truly be destroyed, but it is not retrieable.)\n\nSo what we have so far is a ball that is falling through dense air (greater pressure of a gas means a greater density of the gas), which is putting drag on the ball.  This means the ball does not fall as fast as it would in a vacuum, and the faster a rubber ball falls.  We then suck all the air out instantly, and the ball will bounce back up unrestricted by drag on its way up, but it would have bounced higher if it was not slwoed down by air during its fall and had a higher impact speed.


What steps are necessary to start the impeachment process of a governor?

Impeachment is done by the legislature.  If you want remove the governor, you can initiate it by starting a petition to recall the governor.  In Arizona, you have that option.  You can even get laws for a public vote through a referendum.\n\nConsult your local Secretary of State on the process for your state.

Until this year, the idea of a storm that topped the Cat5 scale seemed to be impossible. As we enter another active phase for hurricanes, do you think NOAA might have to consider adding another category? After all, if we keep getting Cat5 level storms (even if they don't sustain at that strength), doesn't it seem logical that we might, due to changes in our environment, weather patterns, whatever, need to consider a new category?

I think this is the subject of a lively debate, but nothing has been determined, one way or the other.\n\nHere are some thoughts extracted from an article on the topic:\n\nThe history of the scale\n\nIn 1967, the United Nations commissioned Saffir, a Florida consultant engineer, to study low-cost housing in regions of the world that were prone to tropical cyclones and hurricanes.\n\nSaffir realized there was no way to describe the effects of a hurricane, so he developed his own five-category scale. Later, Robert Simpson, then director of the National Hurricane Center, modified Saffir's work, adding measurements for flooding and storm surge.\n\nThe result was the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Rating scale.\n\nA Category 1 storm begins at 74 mph and a Category 5 at 156 mph. On average, there is about a 20 mph increment in wind speed between the categories.\n\nAn extrapolation suggests that if a Category 6 were there, it would be in the range of 176-196 mph. Hurricane Wilma, which had maximum recorded wind speeds of 175 mph, would have been on the verge of breaking into this hypothetical new category.\n\nThe scale didn't include a Category 6 for two reasons.\n\nFirst, it was designed to measure the amount of damage inflicted by a hurricane's winds, and beyond 156 mph, the damage begins to look about the same, according to Simpson.\n\n"When you get up into winds in excess of 155 mph you have enough damage," Simpson said in a 1999 interview with the National Weather Log, a publication of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.\n\n"If that extreme wind sustains itself for as much as six seconds on a building it's going to cause rupturing damages that are serious no matter how well it's engineered. So I think that it's immaterial what will happen with winds stronger than 156 miles per hour. That's the reason why we didn't try to go any higher than that," Simpson said.\n\nAnother reason is that Category 5 hurricanes are relatively rare, or at least they used to be.\n\n"In general, I didn't expect that there would be too many hurricanes that went [above] 155 miles per hour for sustained winds," Saffir said. "The limit seems to be about 175 miles per hour and I don't know of anything that goes much over that."\n\nSome scientists predict, however, that the intensity of hurricanes and their maximum wind speeds may be increasing and that Category 4 and 5 storms will become more common in the years to come.\n\nBehind the beast\n\nOcean and atmospheric temperatures work together to determine the maximum wind speed attainable. This value is known as the "maximum potential hurricane intensity" and is calculated using a formula developed in 1998 by Emanuel, the MIT climatologist.\n\nBased on ocean and atmospheric conditions on Earth nowadays, the estimated maximum potential for hurricanes is about 190 mph.\n\nThis upper limit is not absolute, however. It can change as a result of changes in climate. Scientists predict that as global warming continues, the maximum potential hurricane intensity will go up. They disagree, however, on what the increase will be.\n\nEmanuel and other scientists have predicted that wind speeds—including maximum wind speeds—should increase about 5 percent for every 1 degree Celsius increase in tropical ocean temperatures.\n\nChris Landsea, a meteorologist at the National Hurricane Center, disagrees.\n\nLandsea believes that even in the worst-case global warming scenarios, where global temperatures ratchet up by an additional 1-6 degrees Celsius, there would be about a 5 percent change, total, by the end of the 21st Century. That means that hurricane-force winds are unlikely to exceed 200 mph, Landsea said.\n\nThe fastest "regular" wind that's widely agreed upon was 231 mph, recorded at Mount Washington, New Hampshire, on April 12, 1934. During a May 1999 tornado in Oklahoma, researchers clocked the wind a

I am not running any more programs that are on a computer that is new off the shelf. It takes forever to get something done. Any ideas?

you are probably running out of memory.  windows xp is a huge memory hog.  when a computer runs out of RAM it starts storing information on the hard drive in what's called virtual memory.  the hard drive is several orders of magnitude slower than regular RAM and it brings your computer to a grinding halt.  if you were running xp before without any problems, and after reinstall this is going on, you probably have some features turned on by default that were off before.  go through your system control panel and turn off all the whiz-bang graphical doodads and junk like that you don't need.

would you take one for the team, or would you want your country to negotiate ur release

No one wishes to die as a hostage at the hands of terrorists.  For that reason countries often attempt to rescue victims or negotiate with parties that may have influence with the criminals.  However, giving into demands would validate the effectiveness of taking hostages resulting in far more victims and deaths.  Even paying ransom would provide terrorists with cash that they would use to harm more people.  The best solution is to be sure that any hostage deaths result in strong negative feedback against the terrorists, especially among populations that nominally support their activities.  Killing innocent people is taking away a gift of God and will be punished in eternity if not on Earth.


Hi! I am doing a report about \nHow has the lack of a feudal tradition in the United States affected american life?\nI know the lack of feudal tradition means American see liberalism as a "Natural thing." \nBut I would like to know how it changes or affects our daily life.\nPlease give a hint and I will be very thankful !

In short, feudalism has sovereignty based in a single individual, such as a king.  There is levels of society below that individual with each having responsibility ultimately to the king.  In such a system, individual freedoms don’t exist as we understand them today.  Our system is founded on the concept that sovereignty is based on the individual, and as such governmental entities receive their ratification from those individuals.  In this you might read Hobbs (as representing the single sovereign, and Locke representing individual sovereignty. \n\nI believe that it would help to understand what feudalism is before your question has relevance.  \n\n1.A political and economic system of Europe from the 9th to about the 15th century, based on the holding of all land in fief or fee and the resulting relation of lord to vassal and characterized by homage, legal and military service of tenants, and forfeiture. \n2.A political, economic, or social order resembling this medieval system. \nfeudalism (fyoo͞′ dəlĭzəm), form of political and social organization typical of Western Europe from the dissolution of Charlemagne's empire to the rise of the absolute monarchies. The term feudalism is derived from the Latin feodum, for fief, and ultimately from a Germanic word meaning cow, generalized to denote valuable movable property. Although analogous social systems have appeared in other civilizations, the feudalism of Europe in the Middle Ages remains the common model of feudal society.Characteristics of European Feudalism \nThe evolution of highly diverse forms, customs, and institutions makes it almost impossible to accurately depict feudalism as a whole, but certain components of the system may be regarded as characteristic: strict division into social classes, i.e., nobility, clergy, peasantry, and, in the later Middle Ages, burgesses; private jurisdiction based on local custom; and the landholding system dependent upon the fief or fee. Feudalism was based on contracts made among nobles, and although it was intricately connected with the manorial system, it must be considered as distinct from it. Although some men held their land in alod, without obligation to any person, they were exceptions to the rule in the Middle Ages.\nIn an ideal feudal society (a legal fiction, most nearly realized in the Crusaders' Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem), the ownership of all land was vested in the king. Beneath him was a hierarchy of nobles, the most important nobles holding land directly from the king, and the lesser from them, down to the seigneur who held a single manor. The political economy of the system was local and agricultural, and at its base was the manorial system. Under the manorial system the peasants, laborers, or serfs, held the land they worked from the seigneur, who granted them use of the land and his protection in return for personal services (especially on the demesne, the land he retained for his own use) and for dues (especially payment in kind).\nThe Fief \nThe feudal method of holding land was by fief; the grantor of the fief was the suzerain, or overlord, and the recipient was the vassal. The fief was formally acquired following the ceremony of homage, in which the vassal, kneeling before the overlord, put his hands in those of the lord and declared himself his man, and the overlord bound himself by kissing the vassal and raising him to his feet. The vassal then swore an oath of fealty, vowing to be faithful to the overlord and to perform the acts and services due him. This formal procedure served to cement the personal relationship between lord and vassal; after the ceremony the lord invested the vassal with the fief, usually by giving him some symbol of the transferred land. Honors or rights, as well as land, could be granted as fiefs. Gradually the system of subinfeudation evolved, by which the vassal might in his turn become an overlord, granting part of his fief to one who then became vassal to him. Thus very

When you feel fear of not meeting expectations of a\nperfectionist trainer and feel insulted and offended\nto the point that you don't want to work there any more is this A HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT?  I requested\nof my employeer to be effectively trained so that I could effeciently perform my job assignments. Nothing\nchanged by the trainer!

Actually a "hostile environment" is better defined as the following:\n\n"Hostile Work Environment refers to harassment by supervisors, managers, coworkers, agents of the company/organization and outside vendors. Hostile Work Environment consists of a condition where employee cannot do their job without feeling harassed or threatened. (1) \n\nAccording to most legal definitions, Hostile Work Environment refers to harassment or discrimination that is a violation of a person's civil rights - based on gender, sexual orientation, race, color, nationality, ancestry, ethnic origin, religion, physical handicap/disability, medical condition, physical appearance, marital status, veteran status, education."\n\nHOWEVER, there are certain expectations of all occupations and you must be able to meet those expectations. As long as there is no harassment or discrimination based on some bias, it cannot be considered a hostile work environment. This is not in referance ONLY to personal harassement or discrimination, but that of co-workers if it offends you. Long story short, in your case, it is absolutely NOT a hostile work environment. \n\nWhat you are experiencing is anxiety and stress due to your inability to perform as required by the position you maintain, at worst you are being harassed or humiliated, which may have some grounds, but that depends on what is said and done by your trainer. Consider a new occupation that better suits you.


I'm 34 with a Bachelor of Music from a top undergrad college but haven't settled into any one career path. Also, I have a small grant of $4500 for returning to school. \n\nBesides music, I have strong interests in science (research), psychology (psychotherapy), law (gay rights), copy writing/editing and website development. \n\nGiven that I'm 34 with limited resources, what might be some general logical wise next steps?

It's not too late to get out of a field that you don't like and get into one you do like!  Your grant seems like a great way to get back into school and find something that you'd like to do.  Try meeting with an advisor at the school(s) you'd like to go to and discussing with that person how much would be involved in studying for different degrees -- you might find that you can transfer some of your previous work.  Also, don't worry about being too old or whatever; lots of people do this all the time.  Your life experience and maturity will help you to be more diligent and give you a good perspective on your studies.\n\nI hope you find something you really enjoy!


I have some stupid collection agency calling me over and over again for someone that doesn't even live at my number! I don't even know them!  how can I screw with them? (or if someone else wants to their number is 1-800-220-0605 and the ext. is 2879 of the guy who keeps harassing my unlisted number)

Just go in chatrooms and give the number and extension to every horny guy who wants to have phone sex!


I can't speak for the entire world or for the whole United States (where I am from) but in my local region, I notice that a large number of people act like complete idiots. They say and do things that normal people wouldn't necessarily do, and nobody seems to associate with these certain people.\n\nHave they gone crazy for some reason? Have they lost their minds? Is there something mentally wrong with them that nobody has diagnosed?\n\nMy questions to you are, why are these people so crazy and how on earth did they get this way? Why can't they just straighten up and try to be more like everybody else?

hey. what's normal and what's crazy? just b/c someone doesn't act like the way u think they should act doesn't mean they are nuts. Y should we act all the same like robots? the entire world is made up of different ppl. cuz i don't do things like u want me to doesn't mean i'm crazy. i get that all the time. any way good question.

whenever I start my PC, the cursor of the mouse doesn't moves at all. however, if I keep moving the mouse at the moment I start the PC, there is no problem of freezing. why is that so?

you might have a conflict between the mouse and another computer component.\n\nThe most common conflict is with the modem, so in case you are not using the modem, (most likely) try taking it off.\n\nyou can go to the control panel and under system, hadware,devices, look for the mouse and check if it has a conflict with any other hardware.

Its relevance to Child and adolescent development.

If you have this poem in front of you, then it's self-explanitory. When children see people hit each other, they learn that that's the way you handle your emotions and get your way. Children watch us very carefully and mimic us in every way, unfortunately not all good. We scold our children when they call their friends a bad name. But we'll cuss and blow a fuse when someone cuts us off on the freeway, with our children in the back seat, watching and hearing...learning how to deal. But, if someone comes up to you and asks your forgiveness for doing something to you and you forgive them, your child will learn that this is acceptable behavior and understand that both people win when there's forgiveness extended. When you yell at your kid and call him a dummy, he learns to see himself as someone less than acceptable and believes that he's not smart enough to even try. The poem goes on to list the good and the bad about how children learn from those who are around them. And it's not always the parents that they're learning from. But, the parents ARE the main influence in a childs' life and have a huge impact on how they see themselves and the world around them. Never, never teach them words that you wouldn't like someone else to call you. If everyone could teach all the positives of this poem to each child, do you know what we'd have? Peace. <*)))><


OS is always associated with the left eye and OD with the right eye.  I am just wondering if it means anything more than left eye and right eye in doctor speak.

i thought that minor could not establish credit under any circumstances and that authorized users are simply that-authorized.  they simply have permission to use the account and they have no responsibility. it will merely show as on the bureau once they are of age as they are an authorized user - and should not affect the bureau one way or the other.

Yes it does! Its a great way to help young people establish credit. My parents did it for me, and my 3 yr old already has a platinum.  This is also a good way to help people with not so good credit to make it better. Still probably a good idea to be the one who physically has the credit card, until the minor is mature and responsible enough.\nKeep in mind that its a double edged sword, the authorized user of the account can also harm anyone whos on the account, such as if they have poor late payments or declare bankruptcy that can affect the minor with bad credit as well.

actually after training is need how many day to rest?then coutinue.

I have never heard of taking 10 days off before a race. You would not maintain a high fitness level and are risking injury. You would go into a short race stiff and not be able to handle the speed. Even marathon runners don't completely take off a week before. They taper down to a few easy jogs. \nIf you are wanting to run an 8k in 28 minutes, you are a very good runner. That is a 5:38 mile average. Let's assume you run 20-30 miles a week, streatch well, and already do speed work. You should do track work outs twice a week. Vary your work outs but keep in mind your race pace. For example: run 25 400's at a 1:20-1:25 pace. Another work out could be 13 800's at a 2:45-2:50 pace. Keep it varied. Two weeks before the race do a ladder with your longest a 5k in 17:30. \nTake the day after the race off as a rest day. The next day jog but don't go over 10k. Then you can be back to your normal training.

Refresh rates are getting faster and screen sizes bigger. Prices are coming down,fast. What is the best new monitor available?

I'm currently using one similar to below.  Love it to death.\n\nIf you go with LCD, be sure to use the DVI connection and not analog.  Makes a HUGH difference in quality, especially in movies and games.


I have an IBM thinkpad laptop and I wireless keyboard and mouse.  I'd like to just leave my laptop on top of my TV closed and use the TV as my monitor.  What kind of connector cable do I need if this is possible?

There are lots of different ways to achieve this. The most common connection now is from your PC to a LCD or DHP TV. They have built in HDMI connenctions just like a computer monitor. You can also use a DVI connection. If your TV has neither of these connections then your best bet is to forget the idea of hooking your PC to your TV because you are not going to get the results you really want.


Because when you're born you basically are composed your mom's cells. But slowly those cells die and get replaced by your own. When does the transformation complete? If at all.\n\nCuz my mom says I'm her flesh and blood a lot.

You are really made up of your own cells from the very beginning of development. Half of your DNA, which is the blueprint for you body, comes from your mother and half from your father, so your cells are never exactly like your mother's. \n\nWhen you are born, you are made up completely of your own cells. But, you are really made of of all the atoms and nutrients that came from your mother's body. When she says you are her flesh and blood, it definitely means that you are connected, and she did give you half of your DNA, but your cells (and the rest of you) are put together in a way that is all your own.\n\nYou were once all of your mother's atoms, and your body is constantly renewing itself with new molecules. I don't know how long it would take for a complete exchange though. Some things could last a really long time.\n\nNonethless...it's good to be nice to your mom ;)


just started takin it yesterday , havening pain in left eye, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

The answer to this is that yes it can probably happen.  You should probably stop reading right here and see a doctor, but since you probably want to know more before visting a doctor I have given an explanation of this phenomenon.\n\nIbuprofen and other NSAIDs are cox enzyme inhibitors.  Nonselective NSAIDs (Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Naproxen) inhibt both cox 1 and cox 2, while cox-2 specifc NSAIDs (Celebrex) inhibit only cox 2.  Cox 2 enzymes make prostaglandins, which is a class of compounds that do many things in many different places, including an involvement in the body's inflammatory repsonse mechanism.  Prostaglandins also have a function of reducing intraocular pressure in the eye.  \n\nIn one study of the cox 2 inhibitor Celebrex, intraocular pressure increased slightly, but not signifcantly enough for concern.  NSIADs seem not to display this effect, at least not as strongly generally, but medications can have rare side effects in a small group of people. \n\nI do not know how substantial this effect is, but your eyes are sensitive and very valuable organs.  You should see the doctor.


With all the new computers coming out 32 single bit processor is just history.

Two 32-bit processors might be more powerful than a single 64-bit processor. Also, if you have a 32-bit software platform, you cannot take advantage of a 64-bit processing power bonuses. However, some features of a 64-bit processor (code wording execution, memory addressing) cannot be achieved even if you combine one thousand 32-bit processors together. So, it's not like 64=2x32; it's more like comparing 2^32 and 2^64.

My son will be in 3rd grade - we will travel to Brazil and/or possibly Spain.  I don't believe Brazil allows homeschooling, I'm not sure about Spain.  Will I be subject to the rules of the country in which we will reside - or are we subject to CA homeschooling standards, since we will be returning after a year?

Military families most often deal with this situation.  When homeschooling in the states, they follow the rules of where they live vs where thier home is. \n\nFor families stationed overseas, they report to the local military community commander.  So I am led to believe that you might need to report to the local American Authority like the American Consolate in Brazil.\n\nI did manage to find one site that said:  The rules of homeschooling overseas in a civilian capacity (including missionaries, corporations, and other positions) are governed by the country in which you reside.\n\nAnother popular site says:  "My general advice is to contact the embassy of the country where you'll be, and ask about their compulsory education code and the exemptions to it. Do they allow for private schools or tutors? How does one qualify as a private school or tutor? Could you apply? If not, ask if your children can homeschool through a distance learning program, as enrollees in a distant private school."\n \nTo avoid that kind of hassle I would consider enrolling your child in a correspondence school so that your child is technically being educated by a US institution... at least while overseas.  You should choose a "school" that would eliminate your need to report or report for you.  Here is a list to consider. http://www.iched.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=iched&cat_id=profiles_index\n\nMy idea, I found backed by another website you will very well be interested in :  The following was written by an American living temporarily in Brazil.\n" The answers to my two concerns came together in one package -- a packaged home-study curriculum from an accredited private school in which my 2nd grader is actually enrolled and tested. It's as if she were attending classes there, except I teach her at home. Several such packages exist, but the most popular are Calvert School [http://www.calvertschool.org] which offers a traditional curriculum, Oak Meadow [http://www.oakmeadow.com] which offers a Waldorf approach, Clonlara [http://www.clonlara.org], and Laurel Springs [http://www.laurelsprings.com]. Most of these offer the curriculum (materials for the student and a guide for the teacher) with or without enrollment in the school. Some also offer online curricula, especially for upper grades."\n\nhttp://overseasdigest.com/july99.htm#Primer\n\nGood Luck, and have a great year!


When I was a teenager I was introverted, and did'nt have friends until some gays that I met at school started dating me because I was cute. I wanted to date girls also but they thought I was gay and I might have aids so I had no success with them. Recently I got a new job and moved to a different state where nobody knows me, so I want to meet a woman and get married. I have never asked anyone for a date. Men have always asked me,because of my looks. I was not able to meet any girls who seemed to like me. I would not cheat on a wife or fiancee with a gay man or any other type of person. I would make a better husband than a straight man who would date a woman who was older than 30. How can I learn the social skills one needs to get a woman to go out with me? There is no anti-gay hidden agenda here. I dont tell gay people that I'm bi, even though they assume I'm 100% gay,which is a dishonest behavior that I think I should stop.

First stop calling yourself Gay or Bi. Then stay away from gay people or at least from their organs. Do away with the gay mannerisms. Become who it is you want to be: A MAN! Your a man now and you want a woman to keep you warm. Go to the STRAIGHT bars. Buy a woman some drinks. Make sure she sees all that money in your wallet. If that doesn't work out, go to the next woman and so on. Think of it as training. You'll find the woman of your dreams and have fun finding her. Have fun. Be happy. Just don't be GAY! \n\nOh, and Tessa...Our sexuality is in our minds, not our genes. Because if it was in our genes, we'd find the gay gene and ERADICATE IT!

And now Saddam is on a trial, mainly for what Americans wanted him to do.? Bombimg Kurds, and Iranians with Chemical weapons.\nEveryone knows that Iraq started the war,and it couldn't stand against Iran if it wasn't for the American and western support. \nAmericans even directly attacked some Iranian ships.\nThey destroyed the Iranian Airbus plane killing about 300 passengers, and never aplogizied for it.

United States is evil. It just wants to approach it goals even if the cost is the life of millions of people. At that time the United States supported Iraq because it knew that the holy government of Iran is the biggest obstacle in Americas way to approach it's evil goals. But as soon as the Americans saw that Saddam's regime was turning it's back on them they stopped supporting it. United States doesn't care about the lives of people, and the human rights, this is why they supplied Iraq with Biological and chemical weapons wich caused more than 90% of the causualties of the war.\nthree years later the United States turned it's back against Iraq when Iraq attacked Kuwait cause this time Iraq wasn't moving with respect to their goals.

I took my parents to see the school in San Francisco and they still feel that being a chef is not a stable job and that just going to college is a better shot of getting a real job to support myself with. I have no idea what to do. I just feel right now in college that it is boring and I have no drive to even want to go. And cooking is what I feel is really what is calling me. I just want to know if anyone out there has the same dilema as me and if so respond to this for me.

I was in the same dilema once. I too wanted to be a chef - but my parents were against it. I went on to become a chartered accountant. But really even now I dont feel satisfied with my job. I still have the urge to throw away all this and become a chef. My dear, if you are really interested in any particular career - go for it - there is nothing like a bad career.

The pay depends on your expertise - check this out http://www.alis.gov.ab.ca/occinfo/Content/RequestAction.asp?aspAction=GetHTMLProfile&format=html&OCCPRO_ID=71002102 You can either go for some boring job and repent for the rest of your life or chose what u like - but make sure you make your parents proud one day!


I was thinking of sending her a "sex toy" with the note... "Go F Yourself".  \n\nWasn't sure if that was legal.  I'd appreciate all your suggestions.

In most states, that would NOT be legal, it would be considered a sexual assualt in some jurisdictions.\nIn any case, you do not want to give this person a valid reason to say terrible things if someone asks for a reference, or to file a complaint with law enforcement.\nLet it go.

if so, in your opinion, how do you know that they exist or not?

That's a hard one 'cause the guy who shot the video that's been seen the world over died, and his son let out the truth. It was fake, and just supposed to be a fun joke that went a little crazy, and he didn't wanna spoil everyone's enthusiasm. But there's still all the centuries of folktales that came way before that old guy. I think it's possible, but highly improbable. I tell you what though, if I'm in the woods and hear something I don't recognize with a horrendous smell accompanying it, I'm leaving the area.


Men get their viagra and other erectial dissfunction drugs covered. Isn't it cheaper for the companies to prevent the births of more customers they must provide for?

Frankly, I think that free birth control should be a constitutionally guaranteed right, so yes, Medicare should cover birth control.\n\nSadly, the religious right is stuck in the dark ages and thinks that birth control is bad. Religion has a vested interest in having more babies around, as they usually grow up to join the church.\n\nLogically it doesn't make any sense, but that hasn't stopped them from getting their way for two-thousand years.

my best friend want to go with my best friend but i don't no what to do .should i tell her to stay away from him or tell her don't say nothing to me about him or should me and her stop beening bestfriend.

If youre really into your boyfriend and she's really your best friend...\n\n1. Let her know how much of a betrayal it would be.\n2. Seperate them, if you go out, go out in threes and dont leave them alone.\n3. Let him know whats going on and how important your friendship is with her.


I currently own an HP LaserJet 1200. Can I add a wireless network card to this printer or I have to buy a new printer?

The simplest way to do that would be to physically connect the printer to one of the computers and share the printer so the other computers can print through that printer.\n\nAlternatively, if you don't want to connect any one computer to the printer, you can get a JetDirect print server. The 1200n comes with JetDirect already, though I don't think it is wireless. In any event, HP sells wireless JetDirect servers which would work with your printer.

i just want to know how many years slavery has been around.

Ever since there have been more than one group of humans living nearby eachother -  Tens of thousands of years. It is more useful to enslave an enemy than to kill him. He can till your fields, pick your corn, and carry heavy items. There were slaves as far back as recorded history, and it surely has gone on since the population explosion after the last iceage.

The MIT courses that are free do u have to take every single class that they offer in that group?

Hi,\n\nI am assuming that you are referring to MIT OpenCourseWare Free Online Courses, which are available worldwide.\n\nhttp://ocw.mit.edu/index.html\n\nIt is "a free and open educational resource for faculty, students, and self-learners around the world. OCW supports MIT's mission to advance knowledge and education, and serve the world in the 21st century. It is true to MIT's values of excellence, innovation, and leadership."\n\nBecause it is not "a degree-granting or certificate-granting activity," you do not have to take every single class offered.  In other words, MIT publishes the course content as free information that you can assess for study, review, or research.\n\nOther limitations of the free courses include:\n\nMIT OCW:\n\n" - Is a publication of MIT course materials \n- Does not require any registration \n- Is not a degree-granting or certificate-granting activity \n- Does not provide access to MIT faculty"


I need more information for an essay that I am working on regarding why the reconstruction process failed to meet the needs of southern african americans and why it went wrong after the war had ended

In terms of needs, the Freedmen's bureau provided education, job skills and all the things that were denied them as slaves. The federal government cut funding for the bureau and it soon failed in its mission. \nBasically, the northern politicians stopped caring about the plight of the A-A, cut funding to resources like the Bureau to help them and didn't enforce the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. It is almost like institutional racism. You can't change people's beliefs overnight and there just wasn't a sense of urgency after all the fighting of the war to change them or to fight again to make them true equals and really help the A-A.\nAlot of people, North and South didn't want to have A-A and whites on equal terms. Many wanted them to not be slaves anymore, but not equals, so they just ignored the Jim Crow laws and the institutional seperate but equal doctrines of the times until whites and A-A fought side-by-side in WW II.\n\nAlso, a lot of the same politicans who were pro-slavery went back into power at the state and federal levels in the south after the war and weren't really willing to change their attitudes.

How demarcated are the lines where these regional differences occur?

In Pittsburgh, if you ordered "soda" you'd get what New Yorkers and other eastern folks call, "Ice cream soda"-------fizzy water, syrup, ice cream, with whipped cream and a cherry on top. (Now served without cherry, whipped or ice cream under the name "Italian soda" in fancy coffee shops.)\n\nA few hours away,in Washington, D.C., they'd look at you and stare if you asked for "pop". They'd never heard of it. But, out here in Wisconsin, about a day and a half away, everybody knows what "pop" is, thank God, and I've been living here for twenty three years now.


For instance someone might say it over the radio in the military...

The best answer I found was that it originated in radio communications.  The loudness and clarity of the communicator were rated from zero to five.  "Five by five" meant a measure of 5 loudness, 5 clarity.


I know ALT text is supposed to be a text equivalent of the image, but the text equivalent of a floorplan would make ridiculously long ALT text.\n\nI'd appreciate references on which you base your answer.

W3C is a good place to start for HTML questions. The link below is their page about ALT. It tells people who can't see the picture what it is. So, "Floor plan of my house" or "floor plan of Buckingham palace" would do it. Someone who is REALLY interested will turn on his graphics, or ask a sighted person to describe it to him, or otherwise cope.\n\nALT should describe the graphic, not be the text equivalent. There is a difference. To take an extreme example, someone born blind who surfs with a browser that reads aloud to him is never going to know what a rainbow looks like. \n\nALT="Rainbow over pasture" \n\nwill tell him the picture is one of those rainbow things sighted people have been telling about all his life. You aren't going to be able to describe it to him.


Which Television Service is Better Cable Or Direct Tv ?


In case the various personalities do not cause any harm can they be left alone ?  If each of the personalities has some positive qualities how do the therapists pick these and fuse them ?

This is from the Merck Manual:\n"All successful treatments that aim to achieve integration involve psychotherapy that specifically addresses the dissociative identity disorder. Some patients are unable or unwilling to pursue integration. For them, treatment aims to facilitate cooperation and collaboration among the personalities and to reduce symptoms. This treatment is often arduous and painful, and many crises tend to arise as a result of the personalities' actions and the patient's despair when dealing with traumatic memories. One or more periods of psychiatric hospitalization may be necessary to help some patients through difficult times and during the processing of particularly painful memories. Hypnosis is often used to help access the personalities, facilitate communication between them, and stabilize and interpret them. Hypnosis is also used to discuss traumatic memories and diffuse their impact. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), applied cautiously, is a useful adjunct. EMDR tries to process traumatic memories and to replace negative thoughts about self that are associated with these memories with positive ones.\n\nGenerally, two or more psychotherapy sessions per week for 3 to >= 6 years are necessary to integrate the personalities or to achieve harmonious interaction among them that allows normal functioning without symptoms. Integration of the personalities is the most desirable outcome.\n\nPsychotherapy has three main phases. In the first phase, the priority is safety, stabilization, and strengthening of the patient in anticipation of the difficult work of processing traumatic material and dealing with problematic personalities. The personality system is explored and mapped to plan the remainder of the treatment. In the second phase, the patient is helped to process the painful episodes of his past and to mourn the losses and other negative consequences of the trauma. As the reasons for the patient's remaining dissociations are addressed, therapy can move to the final phase, in which the patient's selves and relationships and social functioning can be reconnected, integrated, and rehabilitated. Some integration occurs spontaneously, but much must be encouraged by conversing with and arranging the unification of the personalities or must be facilitated with imagery and hypnotic suggestion. After integration, patients continue treatment to deal with some issues that have not been resolved. After postintegration treatment appears complete, visits to the therapist are tapered but are rarely completely terminated. Patients come to think of the psychiatrist as someone who can help them deal with psychologic issues, just as they periodically need assistance from a primary care physician."


i have heard it explained as 'the sky is blue because it reflects the ocean because it reflects the sky'. i just can not remember the word.

Tautological?.  Incidentally, the sky is blue due to rayleigh scattering, not any kind of reflection from the sky.  Tautologies aren't always bad, or without meaning... The best example I can think of is:\n\nSurvival of the fittest implies that the most fit animals for an environment survive and multiply.\n\nBut how do you know who the most fit animals are?\nThe ones who survive and multiply.

This virus just popped up on my puter. It got past Norton Anti Virus Security System. Help!!!

There are one of two things for you and I dearly hope that you didn't pay for that copy of Norton.  The first thing is uninstall Norton, it is the worst anti-virus application on the market, you will probably have to restart.  Then download and install AVG Free made by Grisoft, http://free.grisoft.com/ which is a free anti-virus program and you will get free program updates as well.  Once that is installed run its scanner to remove the virus.\n\nOr, you can download AVG Free without uninstalling Norton but having two anti-virus solutions on your PC is never a good idea as they may interfere with each other.\n\nFor a Firewall (always have your PC behind a router) but for a software solution I like the Kerio Personal Firewall, http://www.snapfiles.com/get/keriofirewall.html/\n\nFor spyware protection get all of the following:\n\nAdaware SE Personal, http://www.lavasoft.com/\nMS Antispyware Beta, http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\nSpybot S&D, http://www.safer-networking.com/\nSpywareBlaster, http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/\n\nWell, just go ahead and download AVG and run it instead.  Norton should be in the Add/Remove programs list in the Control Panel, if it isn't check it's entry in the Start Menu under All Programs and see if Norton provided an uninstaller, there has to be a way to get rid of it.  If you still can't remove it download, CCleaner, http://www.ccleaner.com/ and see if it has an option to remove Norton under its "Tools" section.\n\nIf you STILL can't remove it, just go ahead and download AVG.  But prevent Norton from starting up by going to Start > Run typing in msconfig and uncheck anything related to Norton, if you can't identify it, type the item names into Google to identify them, the first or second search result will be from a process library telling you what the entry is.

The Chargers beat KC earlier this year and lost today so they are tied heads-up. KC and SD are now tied at 9-6 with the SD loss today but both teams have the exact same record. If SD wins next week and KC loses they'd have the exact same division record, so why is SD already eliminated??

S D lost to k c 2 times and they also lost to the steelers so they cant win the conference or the wildcard.\nthey are just losers.

I'm just wondering because of how impractical the practice is in daily life, especially when there is carpeting throughout one's home. Carpeting is not exactly easily washable. It makes much more sense to take them off and wear slippers.

There are many reasons. Asthetic-the sight of dirty, smelly shoes is unattractive to some, and many choose to "hide" their shoes essentially in the bowels of their closet/room. Convinience-Many people know that at any moment, they will have to walk outside or answer the door, and prefer to avoid the extra work (which is also another factor, Laziness.) Probably the most obvious reason is a lot of these shoes you think should be left off are sparkling, germ/dirt-free accessories which only touch 1 square block of pavement, the gas/brake pedal on a car, and that person's alternate sterile/comfortable environment. Simple, we do not see our shoes as anything different than gloves, a coat, winter hat, that should be put away in its proper place once inside.

My mother in law recently has recently been quoted as saying that my marriage is not a holy union since I was handfasted and as far she is concerned we are not really married. The handfasting was 4 years ago, completely legal and we have had 2 kids since.

Let it get back to your mother in law that you don't believe she made those statements, because you can't imagine that she would ever say something so awful about you and your kids.  \n\nThen the ball is in her court.


A customer at a 7-11 store selected four items to buy, and was told that the cost was $7.11. He was curious that the cost was the same as the store name, so he enquired as to how the figure was derived. The clerk said that he had simply multiplied the prices of the four individual items. The customer protested that the four prices should have been ADDED, not MULTIPLIED. The clerk said that that was OK with him, but, the result was still the same: exactly $7.11. What were the four prices?

I never really understood that cathlic belief and I am hoping for some clarity.

The question within your question, "Is God just?" The answer is yes. King David lost his baby due to his sin, and he declared, "I shall go to him, but he shall not come to me." There is an age of accountability where we become responsible for our destination. I believe it is 13 since that is the age a Jewish boy becomes a man, but I have no reference for this assumption. But in all this, I trust God will be just. That is what you should trust in as well, alwaysheaven.

How hot should I get it.  (glass is 2000, as far as I know)  Should I mix something in with it? Like some metals need to be made into aloys.

When people say "glass," they usually mean soda-lime glass.  That is made by mixing fluxes, soda ash (Na20) and lime (Ca0) with quartz and melting the mixture.  Soda and lime reduce the viscosity of the melt.\n\n"Fused quartz" is a glass (i.e. noncrystalline) that is made by melting quartz (or synthetic silicon dioxide) and cooling it too fast for crystals to form.  You can make fused quartz, but it is difficult to handle because it is so viscous.  Unless you need the properties of fused quartz, you would be better off to melt some glass.


With the tsunami, the earthquakes and the volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens, I have to wonder if our planet is experiencing growing pains. \n\nHas this activity increased in the past couple of years, compared to what we know?

Tectonics (and therefore earthquakes and volcanoes) is driven by the internal heat of the planet.\n\nEver since the Earth formed it has been cooling, so if anything tectonic activity is on a constant decline. The loss of heat is very slow though, so from the point of view of recorded human history there has been very little change.

Go to the museum of history and art or art and science...can't remember what it is called, but it is very cool.  It is within walking distance of the Sears Tower.

It was a seriously good time.  The walk was as much fun as the sites!


Which would mean more to sports fans in Cleveland: An Indians World Series championship or a Browns Superbowl win?

I think an Indians World Series Championship is bigger, because the Browns have just been so bad for so long, that I think their following is a lot smaller than that of the Indians.  The Browns Super Bowl would be a big event, but I don't think there are nearly as many true Brown fans, as there are Indian fans.


Some stores and businesses have policies against accepting large bills. These bills are legal tender. Legally, what must they accept and what can they refuse?\n\nThough the laws are probably the same in USA and Canada, an answer or source link that is specific to Canada would be prefered.

The Coinage Act of 1965, specifically Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency (including Federal reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal reserve banks and national banks) are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues."\n\nThis statute means that all United States money as identified above are a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person or an organization must accept currency or coins as for payment for goods and/or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether or not to accept cash unless there is a State law which says otherwise. For example, a bus line may prohibit payment of fares in pennies or dollar bills. In addition, movie theaters, convenience stores and gas stations may refuse to accept large denomination currency (usually notes above $20) as a matter of policy.


I read that girls these days are getting their periods much earlier then before some as early as 9 and 10 years old. The human body and mind has pretty much been unchanged since we were Cro-Magnons. Why is this happening? Is it all the hormones in our food?

Some people think that hormone injections given animals we use for food is responsible. Another popular theory is that this is evolution of our species. Our species is evolving to become more efficient at reproduction. Actually, these changes in puberty age can be traced back to times long before hormone injections were being used, so evolution is a more logical answer.

Service for Seniors provides a simple system for low-income seniors in Canada, or those helping them with their income taxes, to file their Canadian income tax returns by phone. \n\nBased on their previous income tax returns, in late January about 275,000 Canadian seniors are sent a personalized letter from the Canada Revenue Agency inviting them to use the Service for Seniors. The letter contains an information sheet and an access code for using the service. \n\nService for Seniors lets eligible seniors enter their Social Insurance Number and access code, and answer a few questions with "yes" or "no." Income is calculated automatically using Canada Revenue Agency information and allowances for the basic personal amount, age amount and, if applicable, the disability amount, The only amounts that have to be entered are to claim refundable provincial or territorial tax credits for residents of Ontario, Manitoba and the Northwest Territories.

No one can give me a good answer to this.

i never really thought about it and so i was just going to say that temperature doesnt matter because its a vacuum and is dealing with the pressure... but when i thought about it... come to think of it, i do have an answer for you.  the temperature would be zero kelvin, absolute zero.\n\n in an absolute vacuum, the pressure would be 0 if there were no particles, because the more particles you cram into one place, the more pressure there is because p=F/A pressure equals the force of the particles divided by the area of the wall of the container, so with no force of particles(since there are no partiles), the pressure would be zero.  in an absolute vacuum, there are no particles.  Now, if the pressure is zero, then according to the formula PV=nRT (which is just the ideal gas law formula,) if P(pressure) equals 0, i think that means that T(temperature in Kelvin)would also be 0 which would mean that the temperature would be at absolute zero(which is defined as the temperature where all matter stops moving.. not that this would make a difference because there are no particles there because it's an absolute vacuum.  \n\nThis is what i suspect and to confirm my beliefs,  it is consistent with the fact that someone else said that outer space was 3K, and although it's very close to an absolute vacuum, there are a few particles and atoms of gas floating around there, and so it is not quite an absolute vacuum, and the temperature is 3K, meaning it's not quite at absolute zero.  so it stands to reason that since temperature decreases when pressure decreases, that in an absolute vacuum the temperature would be absolute zero, 0 kelvin.\n\ni hope this is a "good answer" and that i made sense while i took you through my reasoning :)

The website says to uninstall it with my control panel or "Uninstall SBC Yahoo Applications", but the piece of catshit still shows me annoying error messages even though it's no longer on my list of programs.\n\nDear Ben, \n \nThank you for contacting SBC Yahoo! E-mail Support.\n \nAs I understand you are experiencing some issue with your SBC Yahoo! \nOnline protection suit. And you want to uninstall your SBC Yahoo! Online \nProtection suit. I can help you to resolve this issue.\n\nPlease, visit the following link to find the steps to un-install Online \nProtection:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/sbc/dsl/yop/yop-11.html\n\nThis should take care of your issue. However if the issue persists, \nplease contact us and refer to the case number 109596224.

We might not want to call technical support for whatever reason, it is still best to contact them as this was stated in that email. There are underlying factors why it still showing you those kind of errors but only SBC knows because of the fact this is their product and that by just merely uninstalling it might not really help. Phone technical support will really take longer than what you think in which perhaps that is why you did not bother to call, did you? But just try it and be patient because they really need to ask you "stupid" questions to get into the bottom of it. But if you come to think of it, they are just asking these because they are not physically present to where your computer is.. You may not agree, but I guess this is all you can get for a free support.


Not in terms of money, but quality and durability

That's a tough question. Many plasma tv's are HDTV.\n\nYou have to look at two dimensions. The display technology: Plasma, LCD, DLP. Generally each has its own weakness and strength.\n\nand HD Compatibility. HD Compatibility generally falls into three categories: non compatible, HD Ready, and HDTV Tuner. HD Ready means that the TV will display a picture in HD but requires a box to decode the signal. HDTV Tuner usually has the decoder inside and does not require a box to decode. Usually these TV's accept cards from cable providers to give you access to cable.\n\nI've posted a few links that might help with the display technology question.
