if you have a baby on the way , or you just got married, so on so forth..... why do they run.


the judges ignore the Constitution and the Laws of the United States, justice is but a myth now

Um...maybe you didn't really "prove your case."  Also, the city was not obligated to make sure you had an attorney to represent you.  Courts aren't perfect, but c'mon.


I have bilateral paralysis of my vocal cords

i knew a guy who had that... he has to have a trach in at all times, and he uses a feeding tube (hopefully not too graphic!)\n\nbut he's healthy, and happy... he just sounds a bit different now


I personally think it is hilarious. But i am just curious as to who else has seen it.

I've seen it.  My wife and I both watch it actually.  We like it, though it started slowly, but it's been getting better.


Unfortunately, I do not have access to a machine with IIS and cannot create or connect to a database on the server.  I can request pages be posted to the server, but I need a database (Access) backend.  The site needs to access, read/write, the database to manage personnel information, timecards, etc.  How can I get around IIS?  ASP, Javascript, PHP, etc. is known, but I cannot create a connection to the database.  Assume the database file would exist in the same directory as the page(s).

Your question is not very clear. Apparently you have a web server but it's not IIS? What is it then?\nIf it's Apache, you can try with php. I don't have direct experience, but it seems to be possible: http://www.google.com/search?q=php+access+database\nIf it's not Apache, then you can install Apache :)

need to raise $15,000 by the end of next year to travel around the world.

I don't want to make it seem like it's an easy thing to do, but I make a nice little side income playing poker on the internet. It requires a tremendous amount of studying, a huge dedication to the game, lots and lots of time, and a small initial investment (which you will lose at first).\n\nHowever, if you have the brains, the drive, and just a little bit of basic math under your belt you can make a tidy little profit on the side this way.\n\nIt's not easy, but it's better than having two jobs.


More specifically, what's the underscore doing there?  It is some kind of function or maybe an escape sequence? I've seen it in several scripts recently but just produces error messages for me (PHP 5.0.4).\nThanks in advance...

"foo", "bar", and "foobar" are generally used as place holders by programmers; a way of saying "[insert your code/variable/constant/etc. here]".  Depending on the context in which you find it in the example code, you would replace "foo" in your own code with a function, a string literal, a variable, and so on.\n\nI haven't come across "_('foo')" in any of the PHP scripts I've looked at, though, but it seems unlikely (given PHP's rules of syntax) that it could represent a function or an escape sequence by itself; more than likely, it's meant to be replaced by something in your own code.


why do EUROPEANS hate each other ?!! Although  thay live in the same continent, and some of them share the same religion & language !!

As a European: many Europeans hate each other, and so do many people in the US, and in Canada, and in Asia, and in Africa, and in Australia, and in New York City, and in Los Angeles, and in your city too, whereever you live. And for the same reasons as people hate each other in your town or city. I don't think that we Europeans hate other Europeans more or less than other people.


i took of some stuff i need back need your help

Since I do not have much information on your system or you I am forced to make these assumptions:\n\n1. Your computer system is using the Windows XP Home\Professional Operating System\n\n2. You have or have access to a high speed internet connection and a CD burner.\n\n3. You know how to install software and reasonably follow directions listed on a website.\n\nYou can do this with a couple of methods. First, you can download some free file recovery software to get back most items that you deleted recently, like word documents, pictures, etc. You will have a hard time recovering large files or a large set of files due to the nature of how the your operating system (Windows) stores and overwrites data. \nIf the basic file recover software doesn't work, then you may have to undertake a much more comprehensive and involved process of booting up the system with a bootable cd such as the Ultimate Boot CD (which is another set of free software you can use, but you need your Windows XP cd as it uses some of the files on it) and using the software on the cd to recover those files. Follow the directions on the second link carefully it is an involved process. Once you have the system booted with the cd you can recover many different types of files. The second link also haves information on how to recover the files, but you may have to do a little digging for it.\n\nRemember, time and disk activity is your enemy right now, so the best thing is to get started as son as possible with this to have the best chance of recovering your files.\n\nHope this helps!


I keep on clicking on it and wait for a realy long time but it does not come up.

Don't click on it many times, because that will open up a lot of windows of Firefox. Instead, click on it once and WAIT for it to open. If it still doesn't open, uninstall it and install it again.


What does the judge say, what does he say, what is the "ceremony" like, how is it different than being married by a priest in a church?

I dont really see a difference. Surely there is differences . Like most of the time judges marry in court houses or their preferred spot. I'm not sure what the judge says, but i'm guessing its pretty similar to what a priest says in his church.


I have yahoo... and all my friends have aim and i think yahoo is better but my friends dont so i need results....please answer this question...

Whatever your friends are using.  That's what makes IM useful.  \n\nI'm the same situation as you, I like the YIM interface, but all my friends use AIM.  So, my only option is to use AIM because I'm not quite persuasive enough to get them all to switch.


How can a recipient alert Social Security if he is not receiving needed medicines, doctors, care, etc?  What is the procedure that the recipient should follow if he wishes to change his representative payee?

You can change your representative payee, but you may not know that all of the money your rep spends has to be accounted for on a special report the payee has to fill out every year and send it to social security. If there was true misuse social security would already know about it.\n\nI am in your shoes and it suck to have someone else manage your money, but the fact is social security is currently paying $624.00 a month. It is just not enough to be able to have a car, buy food, pay rent, pay for medicine and all that. So what I'm saying is changing your rep is not going to help you any.

How do you unblock an ear?  I can barely hear out of it and there is a constant ringing.  It started 2 days ago after a sinus infection.

A remedy my mother used that seemed to work was to have me lay on my side and pour a small amount of hydrogen peroxide in my ear.  Then, after letting it sit for a couple of minutes, dab up the peroxide with tissue.  Poking Q-tips or anything else in your ear when it's inflamed will only make it worse.  I'm sure most would say visiting a doctor might be the best thing to do and in the interest of full disclosure, I'm not a doctor.  Good luck.  Hope your ear feels better soon!


Some of the products of AutoCAD I see online do not give me much help to determine what type version is being shown.  I need something more detailed so I can know what I will be able to use.  Educationel versions of AutoCAD are items I just can't use, since I am not a student of any campus.  Please let me know very soon.

If you are trying to buy AutoCAD inexpensively on a place like eBay, i highly recommend against trying it.  It will be useless to you because the software developer is very active in preventing distribution of its products from anyone who is not an authorized distributor.\n\nThe only way you'll know for sure is to go to the AutoDesk website and locate an authorized reseller.  If you want 2D and 3D capabilities, use regular AutoCAD.  If you only want 2D capabilities, use AutoCAD LT.\n\nIf you're looking for an inexpensive software, consider using TurboCAD.  It has a lot of similarities.


i have to read this book for school, and i must have notes for the book by 1-12 for a test and i havent taken any notes so far. what should i do?? is their a website with free notes?

Well, 1/12 is a long time away.  But if you really don't think you can read it try to find some cliff notes (summaries).  I found this:\n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/book.php3?id=1165\n\nMinor info in a review:\n\nhttp://www.lclark.edu/~piolog/archive/980123/arts/arts.html\n\nMore info:\n\nhttp://www.blind.state.ia.us/Library/DiscussionGuides/bookDiscussUndauntedCourage.htm


I'm not a bad student... I don't go to school in the states so I can't express my grades in terms of a GPA, but I'm in 11th grade and I get an average of about 85% in my school exams, so I guess I'd put myself at an average of B+. I want to go to a school with a reasonably high overall diversity and I am interested in journalism and medicine/dentistry and I have a flair for creativity, but am still undecided abt exactly what I want to do. What colleges would you suggest for me? I don't have any affordability issues and I would like to go to a well-known college.

I think international students still have to take the SAT test? Maybe I am wrong.\nOne person suggested Yale, Stanford , Princeton. They only accept people with near-impeccable records.\nTemple University in Philadelphia is an excellent school - most of the journalists in Philadelphia went there, and they also have a very good medical and dentistry program. It is one of the most diverse schools in the country, and is a city campus.\nI highly recommend looking into this.


And what was her relation to Jesus Christ?

We only know Mary Magdalena from the gospels. These are in short what they tell about her:\n- She's from Magdala\n- She is witness of Jesus' death, burial and resurrection (Mark 15, John 20), the first to meet Jesus after resurrection\n- 7 demons left her (luke 8).\nThe Bible do not identify her as the prostitute from Luke 7 (But she could be).\nAccording to the gnostic tradition she's a competitor to Peter and the one Jesus loves

I'm not sure if it's because two of my mirrors are angled (my guess is no), but I noticed that if I stand between two mirrors, then the reflections eventually curve a certain direction and do not remain "straight."  Is this normal, or is there possibly something wrong with my mirrors?

It's because of the minor imperfections in the placement of the mirrors. Also, because the effect can't be seen without seeing it at an angle, it causes a curve based on your viewpoint.


Please do not say hurried.  Thank you for answering.


This is a very valid question, in need of valid answers, so don't block this one.

Master's and Johnson's said that 5 to 7 inches was normal.\n\nDr. Drew has quoted 5 3/8 inches as average on Love Line on more than on occasion.


The doctor told her that it is due to stress.  He keeps telling her dates that she'll be able to return to work, but she never can.  If you know anyone who has suddenly started stuttering I would  be interested to know what you know and if there is any way to help the person also.

I'm a scientific / non-orthrodox / non-rituals guy. But one of my aunts had her stuttering cured by following (what sounds to me as a stupid but harmless (and it worked!)) age-old indian tradition. She used to hold a pebble the size of a plum (clean it first!) in her mouth for several hours a day. \n\nIt is also important to encourage the person to talk freely (without explicitly asking them to speak freely... you know, just make them talk). Do not feel frustrated or look too much into their mouth or too much away from them when they are stuttering. Some folks just get out of it by improving their confidence. If they like music, create a good environment to make them attempt to sing a song (again, don't ask them to sing. They might think that you are trying to pull a prank on them and it might hurt them). That helps too (my aunt was encouraged to sing). My aunt has improved quite effectively now. She stutters only very rarely.


Yes it has. Saw it or slept thru parts of "Airplane" and "Ghost" on an international flight in the 1990s. I can't remember which airline that was, but it was great seeing the first movie inflight - Even tho I'd seen both movies several times and I still was trying to stay awake to see it.


I want to learn how to do 3d like simple wolfenstein type things. Does anyone know where to start learning how to do simple things like spinning cubes, texture mapping, etc etc.

It sounds like you have an interest in doing 3d design for games. If that is the case you will need to learn two different aspects of 3d design. 1) You need to learn the basics of 3d modeling and texture work 2) Low Polygon modeling\n\nHere is a site with some online videos that walk you through the basics. They use Truespace, but the lessons apply to most software programs.\nhttp://www.kidzonline.org/TechTraining/video.asp?UnitQry=3D%20Animation\n\nI agree with Nick, Blender is a great program but it's not very intuitive. Search around, there are bound to be a lot of opensource or free basic 3d packages that you can use to get started. One great thing about blender is the user community is very helpful. I've list some other software programs below. Each of these has a trial download so you might be able to play with them. The first two are professional packages and the second two are niche products. I've used Animation Master and I found it to be easy to learn. While it is not expensive, it does cost more than Blender so you have to weigh ease of use vs costs.\n\nGood luck\n\n\n\nTry http://www.3dcafe.com

I need to located 404 IAC 5-25 and I've been unsuccessful. Can anyone help?

Do you mean 405 IAC 5-2-5? (the A stands for Administrative) This section deals with Medicaid.  Anyway, there is no such thing as Title 404 of the IAC (you can browse the Admin. Code at the link below)\n\nThe section I think you are referencing says the following:\n\n405 IAC 5-2-5 “County office of family and children”, “county office”, or “OFC” defined\nAuthority: IC 12-8-6-5; IC 12-15-1-10; IC 12-15-1-15; IC 12-15-21-2\nAffected: IC 12-7-2-45; IC 12-13; IC 12-15\n\nSec. 5. “County office of family and children”, “county office”, or “OFC” means that agency located in each county of Indiana that fulfills the duties set out in IC 12-13. (Office of the Secretary of Family and Social Services; 405 IAC 5-2-5; filed Jul 25, 1997, 4:00 p.m.: 20 IR 3301; readopted filed Jun 27, 2001, 9:40 a.m.: 24 IR 3822)


We'll rent skis of course, what else should we take? Do we need to buy ski pants, ski jacket, goggles, etc? Since we don't know if this is something we'll do often, we are looking to make minimal investment at this point. Do we need to take a lesson? Any other advise is appreciated also.

You should have warm clothes, but not necesarily ski pants or jacket. Dress in layers is best. You should take lessons the first few times. Do not expect to be a pro after only one time. Stay on the easy trails until you have gone many times and can control your skis.


My ex-husband have custody of our 4 girls and I pay child support to him, and I need to know if he can stop me from claiming 2 or the 4 kids. I already claim them through the year. Now he is mad at me and said I couldn't claim them at the end of the year even though I pay him over 500.00 dollars a month.What are my rights?

By law you can only claim a child if you pay for 51% or greater of their expenses and/or live with them for 51% or more of the year.\n\nThe exception is if the custodial parent allows you to claim them by signing Form 8332. The top source below is a guide for non-custodial parents and the second one is Form 8332.


i have four kids, my ex's are fighting w/me over visitation, hello i have rights too right?

take it to court. then they cant tell you when it is convient for them.  thats what i have had to do.


Reasons to agree\n1. We need to help our own, before we go fix the world's problems.\n2. The united nations should handle more and we should handle less.\n\nReasons to disagree\n1. If men women and children are being murdered, and it is within our power to help them, then we need to help them, even if the political party that is out of power gets to use that annoying old accusation.\n2. We thought this, and let Nazi Germany take over half of Europe before we decided to fight. If we got involved earlier, we could have saved millions of lives.

No, the United States should not be the world’s policeman.  It should be a multinational force that is headed up by the United Nations.  \n\nThere are several proposals to create a swifter response force to react to world needs.\n\nAlthough the United Nations has a mixed record on the peacekeeping front, they are the current best tool to implement a "world's policeman".  This would require support from the United States and the untied states would undoubtedly provide many of the troops and resources for such a peacekeeping force, but through collective action, we should be able to create a fair system to pay for and implement a true "world's policeman" that does not also infringe on the rights on sovereign nations.

i am doing a project on down syndrome and i need the answer to this question

Down syndrome is caused by trisomy of chromosome 21, that is, an additional chromosome in what should be a pair. This happens when the separation of homologous chromosomes during meiosis is incomplete. Meiosis occurs during gametogenesis, thus if it goes wrong, the resulting gametes will be either one chromosome short or will have one too many chromosomes. If the gamete with 24 chromosomes (23 normal + 1 additional 21) achieves fertilization with a normal gamete, the zigote will have 3 copies of chromosome 21 and will develop into an individual with Down Syndrome. \nSometimes only part of the information in chromosome 21 is repeated, thus there are various "degrees" of development of the syndrome.

Contributing factors included cocaine level of 89 ng, alcohol level, 1.9, myocardium abridgment & edema.  Pt had been physically attacking a woman for about 20 minutes before, himself, being physically stopped. Medical conclusion was he was being hit so fast that he inhaled blood, which caused his death.  He had a bloody nose & face, but suffered no broken bones, no cartilage damage, no dental damage, no cranial damage, etc.\n\nHe was removed from the woman's apartment to the yard, where he was hit again.  When police & EMS arrived he was so verbally & physically violent as to require restraint to be transported.  He was restrained face-down and died en route to the hospital.

just a guess but i'd say the blood was not from being struck and restrained i would suggest the cocaine presumably inhailed through the nose caused a failure /rupture of the sinus cavity  Similar to overdose and the man was oding before he was beaten and restrained it just took 20 mins or so for the od to fully kick in the cocaine may not have fully absorbed into the bloodstream by the time he was tested / after the sinus was already destroyed preventing more from showing up in the bloodwork.  but that's just an uneducated guess.


I have seen quite a bit of it on here especially when it comes to spiritual beliefs. Can anyone give me a logical explanation.

In all honesty I belive it to be because there are to many people with uniformed opions.  If you have an uninformed opion then you do not have all the facts you need to speak on a subject, especcially matters of sprituality.  I think to many people do not know how to disuss something with out name calling or acting like children because no matter what you say you are a reflection of your actions and if you do not act "enlightined" then you are not.  I think that in an "eniglightned" world we would not all agree on everything but we would understand that you can dissagree with someone without acting like you are a monkey escaped from a bad monkey insaine assylum (sorry).  I really belive it to be a matter of \nFirst listing to someone\nSecond respond to what they said\nThird DO NOT STEREOTYPE ANYONE.\nthats my little thought on the subject.


why is there no united caucasian college fund?...why does louis faracan have an army, and the gov't allows it??? why aren't these black groups treated with the same disdain as the kkk??? i'm not saying the blacks shouldn't have rights, i'm just asking why their rights are more important than anyone elses...

there is no united caucasian college fund because white people don't need help overcoming racial barriers to entry into higher education in the united states.\n\nlouis farrakhan's "army" exists under the same terms that the michigan militia and other white crackpot quasi-military groups do:  the right to free assembly and the right to bear arms.  \n\nwhen the nation of islam starts terrorizing well-behaved white people in the middle of the night by burning crosses and hanging people, they might start getting treated with the same disdain as the klan.\n\nblack people aren't treated as though their rights are more important than anyone else's.  they are treated as though their social and economic situation is the result of a history of oppression and exploitation.  they are treated as though some effort should be made to rectify the wrongs done unto them.\n\nany other questions?


have connected my NETGEAR wireless router to my cable  modem and see a signal but am unable to get a connection with EITHER the WIRED or WIRELESS options....just get page not found....have "repaired" the connection but no luck....ideas?

Try logging on to the router, checking the WAN status. Also try cloning the MAC from the cable modem. Some providers won't let a router connect, so you have to fool them into believing that the router's the cable modem. Make sure that the modem has a solid connection to the coax. Check the physical connections between the router and the modem, make sure the network cable is plugged into the WAN port of the router. If you don't have an IP address under WAN status, then you're router is not connecting to the modem correctly. If you can't log into the router, then you've got problems with your computer.

i bought a Hitachi Deskstar 160gb harddrive. I succesfully installed it but i can only use it to 130gig. I went to bios and tryed to change the harddrive setting to the max but it will keep changing back to 130gig. i think its because the IDE on my motherboard don't support such big harddrive. Is there a software you can download to make it support bigger harddrives? or the only solution is to get a new IDE card? Thx

If you can format 128Gb, your BIOS likely already supports LBA (Large Block Addressing).\n\nSounds more like you are trying to format it using FAT32.  FAT32 only partitions/formats up to 128Gb.  NTFS will handle up to 1.6Tb, so if you're using Win2000 or WinXP, use NTFS.  Otherwise (as already suggested), you'll need to partitioning.

is excesise the best way to loose weight, counting calories, no carbs,or watching fat grams?

The first thing you've got to do is to check the dictionary. I assume, you really probably want to lose weight, as in "looze" weight, which is spelled lose.\nBut I don't know, you might maybe really want to loose\nweight, as in let your jeans be loose, or feel loose. \nBut if its weight reduction that your after, then you\nwant to lose weight as in looz.

I listen to a mix of world music when I need to get myself ready for a new task (helps the ole brain)\nI guess it is called age and eclectic.

in the past during all  my recent physical exams i was ask to undress one article of clothing at a time when it was necessary to look there.  example; shirt came off when listening to heart and lungs; then pants and underwear went down to my knees for testicular cancer.  i will probably have a rectal exam for the first time at my next physical. i was wondering if the protocol calls for complete nudity from beginning to end of the exam or if the same protocol of undressing is the same as above.

I worked in a doctor's office for a couple of years, and what we would do is have a patient get into a gown.  I have never heard of undressing one article of clothing at a time to the point of ending up completely nude.

I don't have any exercise equipment. What are the best bodyweight exercises (like calisthenics) I can do?

Agree with pushups and crunches.  There are hundreds of varieties of each.  A chinup bar lets you do chinups, an exercise ball lets you do more advanced pushups and crunches, and a chair (or chairs) lets you do dips, different pushups and different crunches.  The point is to be creative with what you have.  Yoga's great for flexibility and strength (if advanced enough).


I think that Mary had intercourse with a man and got pregnant. It was very common back then for a boy who didn't know who his father was, to say it was a god. This was especially common among Romans; Hercules was supposed to be the son of Zeus.

People that don't believe this then they know nothing when it comes to the bible. I have three different bibles in my home and they all say the same thing Jesus is God's son....


I'm pretty sure that's wrong.\n8/2 = 4/1 = 4\nThis proves that 8/2 is actually 4.\n\nFractions are the same as division,and 8 divided by 2 is 4, so 8/2 is 4.


Anyone who doesn't accept evolution without this book?

I suggest you do a bit more research on your thermodynamics debate.  Please check out this website, which explains exactly what thermodynamics is, which you seem to be lacking in understanding of:  http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/thermo/probability.html\n\nSecondly, there are many people that believe that evolution simply doesn't exist.  That all things were created, and that all things will continue to be created by a greater force.  However, as there is no proof, this too remains a theory, however much the creationists dislike it being called thus.\n\nThe problem that i see with the evolution vs creationist issue is that evolution has been proven to take place in the animal kingdom.  We have seen, for example, 2 exact same species grow up in completly different geographical areas and be 100% different from each other.  They evolved from one state into another to adapt to the surroundings of their enviornment.  Creationists attribute this to god giving them new traits, ect, that allow them to interact and adapt with their new surrounding.  Evolutionists, however, can see the 'paper trail', ie the evolutionary trail of these species, from the failed, to the development of traits and abilities over long periods of time.\n\nFossiles, which are one good source of information, are one of the good ways of proving evolution took place.  But, just as the positer said, evolution is indeed a theory at the moment; but we are ever increasingly stepping closer to proving it a reality. Whereas the creationists are still within the 'theory' state, and unfortunatly for them, their 'theory' isn't even a true 'theory'.  It is a simple form of religious-biased fact, instead of a documented possiblity.\n\nSo, are there people out there that don't use the bible to argue against evolution, sure, why not; but most of the time, these people have no clue about the dynamics of evolution and the debate in which it takes place.\n\nAnd, as is typical of any debate that must accept a defeat, creationists have taken a passive aggressive stance, in making pepole believe that god created evolution.  This is laugable at best, because it is one way for a person who believes in creationism, but who also understands that evolution is a possibly, to cop out of the debate and say that 'god' created the premise by which evolution took place.\n\nSounds kind of fishy to me :)

What is the advantages of Hebrew language?

Hebrew is a Semitic language of the Afro-Asiatic language family spoken by more than 6 million people, mainly in Israel, the West Bank, the United States and by Jewish communities around the world. The core of the Tanakh (sometimes referred to as the Hebrew Bible), the Torah (which Christianity and Judaism traditionally hold to have been first recorded in the time of Moses 3,300 years ago), is written in (Biblical) Classical Hebrew. Jews have always called it לשון הקודש Lashon ha-Qodesh ("The Sacred Language") as the scriptures written in this language were considered sacred. Most scholars agree that after the first destruction of Jerusalem by the Nebuchadnezzar II and the Babylonians in 586 BCE, the kind of Hebrew prevalent in the Tanakh was replaced in daily use by Mishnaic Hebrew and a local version of Aramaic. After the depletion of the Jewish population of parts of Roman occupied Judea, it is believed that Hebrew gradually ceased to be a spoken language roughly around 200 CE, but has stayed as the major written language throughout the centuries. Not only religious, but texts for a large variety of purposes: letters and contracts, science, philosophy, medicine, poetry, protocols of courts—all resorted to Hebrew, which thus adapted itself to various new fields and terminologies by borrowings and new inventions.\n\nHebrew was revitalized as a spoken language during the late 19th and early 20th century as Modern Hebrew, replacing a score of languages spoken by the Jews at that time, such as Arabic, Judezmo (also called Ladino), Yiddish, Russian, and other languages of the Jewish diaspora as the spoken language of the majority of the Jewish people living in Israel.\n\nModern Hebrew became an official language in British-ruled Palestine in 1921, and the primary official language of the State of Israel, (Arabic maintained its official language status). The Hebrew name for the language is עברית, or ‘Ivrit (IPA: /ivʲrit/)

I pretty sure there was a native american geocite, can someone gives facts

Yep, there was a Native American geonocide.\n\nThere were millions of people living in the Americas when Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492. Columbus's voyage to what Europeans called the "New World" set the stage for the later European colonization of the Americas, with millions of emigrants (willing and unwilling) from the "Old World" eventually resettling in the Americas. While the population of Old World peoples in the Americas steadily grew in the centuries after Columbus, the population of the American indigenous peoples plummeted. The extent and causes of this population decline have long been the subject of controversy and debate, which became particularly widespread in 1992 during the 500th anniversary of Columbus's famous voyage, with a number of people claiming that the natives of the Americas have been the victims of genocide.

I'm having a hell of a problem... Recently, my computer has started freezing when I play videos, I can't find any reason why..... It will play for a random amount of time, and then the sound hiccups for a second, and bam. Complete lockup. Even the mouse won't work. You might as well take a picture of the Desktop and tape it on the front of the monitor, because that's how unresponsive it is..... I can't think of anything that I've done that would have caused this, last night I cleaned out my case, suspecting dust choking, but to no avail. I've even done numerous system restores to times before this problem arose, no dice... I'm PRAYING it's not a hardware problem, because that would suck so hard.... The computer doesn't freeze during 3D, or just during normal operation, but video playback freezes it 3/4ths of the time....

2D (i.e. video playback) and 3D use different processes to decode the video.  First step is to \n1. Try a different video player with a updated codec pack\n2. Try the newest version of your video driver.\n3. Check your bios settings for the video-card.\n4. Check to make sure its not the video-card itself by borrowing a friends to test out\n\nThings I would already rule out:\n1. overheating, if it was a issue it would freeze during 3D gaming.\n2. the motherboard and memory, (same as above, lock-ups should effect the 3D as well)\n3. Power supply (same as above)


please don't tell me something i already know, like MSN and Yahoo will get together

MSN has a lot of server issues and its software is a bit more bloated than the rest. Also, in their new version, they only allow XP users to download. Many people still prefer Windows 98 so that leaves them out.\n\n Anything to do with AOL, and you are just asking for them to completely take over your computer. AOL instant messenger files take over your registry and changed things to incorporate aol into your computer. It if weren't for that, then AIM may be ok. \n\n Yahoo has a few problems (like to pc to pc calling..many are have issues with that), but Yahoo doesn't want you to pay for extra display pics and avatars (like both MSN AND AIM do), Yahoo doesn't have advertisements in their IM box (AIM does, but not sure about MSN), and Yahoo connections are always pretty good. 100%.... Yahoo messenger is the best


I want to transfer my desktop computer to another room but i dont have any phone outlet port on the wall, so I purchased SBC wireless phone/modem jack consist of base & extension unit that can plug-in to electrical outlet & convert to phone/modem functions. I followed installation procedure for this unit but I can't log-in to SBC DSL internet however there was a dial tone. I contacted many agents for SBC DSL center but the reply were not clear enough to solve the problem, some said they dont have experience to deal with wireless phone / modem jack system like mine.

Using a wireless phone jack won't work.  The reason is that DSL relies on the phone line being able to carry frequencies that are not used by the phone system for voice transmission.  However, wireless phone jacks are not designed to carry these frequencies.  The reason that a wireless phone jack works with non-DSL modems is that those modems actually convert digital data into sounds that are within the frequency range used for voice.\n\nYou have basically two options if you want DSL in another room:\n\n--install a hard-wired (not wireless) phone jack in that room.  this is simplest, but will cost something for the installation unless you do it yourself.\n--in the room that currently has your phone jack and DSL modem, set up a wireless (Wi-Fi) router.  You'll have to add a wireless/Wi-Fi adapter to your desktop computer as well.  Any local computer store as well as the SBC DSL folks should be familiar with this type of setup.


If you can make it more than one way your a genius.


dont have much money now, going to school full time and having 2 part-time jobs.

You can make more money or spend less money.  Maybe spending less money is a more realistic option.\n\nTrack ALL your expenses for a couple of months, see where and how you are spending your money.\nMake a budget and make some tough cuts (like canceling your cell phone or cable tv or eliminating a daily cup of coffee from Starbucks).  You'll be amazed how much you can start saving for a new car when you make a budget and stick to it.\nDon't forget, when you get a car you will have to a pay for gasoline and insurance on top of the monthly car payment.

I have lived with my boyfriend for 2 yrs and sex with him isn't exciting anymore. I've tried to talk to him about it but he doesn't feel there is a problem. I've found myself in a couple of situations at work with a guy that are a bit inappropriate. He has given me 2 foot massages the past week in the office and I have had an orgasm each time. I wasn't sure what happened the first time and was just curious the second time. He hasn't seen me naked. My skirt was a little bit lifted, but my pantyhose did not come down and we haven't kissed or had any other sexual contact. I obviously love the feeling, but wish my boyfriend would be the one doing it. Should I feel bad about having the orgasms? I do, but I don't. I know I shouldn't keep getting massages, but it is satisfying.

Wow, orgasms from just getting a foot massage, man are you horny!!!! You are in serious need honey and your boyfriend better get with the program before your co-worker lifts up that skirt, dives in, and steals you forever.\n\nIn all seriousness, why are you feeling bad for feeling good?  Boyfriend's days are numbered.  Where do I apply for the position, can't wait for the interview!!! ;)\n\nTick....tick....tick....

If your so called friends are treating you so poorly then I don't think they are really your friends to begin with.  Find new people to hang out with that really care about you for who you are and won't judge or make fun of you.


I have lost over 150 pounds.  You'd think I know the answer, but my weight loss has taken about 9 1/2 years time so far.  I would like it over and done with.  I'd like to know more things I could be doing to get the numbers to move on downward some more. I guess I am impatient, understandably.  For many years I had diabetes and did not know that I had it.\nI just found out 2 years ago that I have Type II and this is why it has been so very slow and difficult for me to lose.  The only good news in all this is that it is not impossible for even someone like me to lose weight and change their life.

Congratulations on your weightloss thus far! \n\nI lost 55 pounds once. I hit a couple of nasty plateaus. Here are some strategies I used to get over them:\n\n- Break out the measuring cups and spoons and food scale again. I tended to get lazy about measuring my food over time. While on a plateau I forced myself to measure everything that went into my mouth that wasn't already pre-packaged and labeled with nutritional information.\n\n- Try a different type of workout. If I'd been doing the exercise bike regularly, instead of pushing myself harder on the bike and getting frustrated, I'd move to a different machine - the stair stepper, elliptical, or rower. My body wouldn't be as used to the other machines - they'd work out different muscles so I wouldn't have to push myself as hard and would get more benefit.\n\n- Re-examine the reasons why you want to lose weight. Cut out some pictures from magazines of how you'd like to look, and also break out pictures of how you looked before your weightloss, and stick them on the fridge and food cabinets. It'll remind you of how you don't want to become and where you really want to be at the time you're making a judgement about what foods to eat.\n\n- Wear a pair of jeans that is really tight around your waist. (around the house probably is best ;-) ). It'll make you think about your stomach more and motivate you to eat less and work out more. \n\n- Limit the amount of times you eat out per week, or if you eat out, have them bring out a take-home box when they bring out your food so you can spoon out half to take home right away so it's not sitting there on your plate tempting you while you eat.

I was given Baytril,1800mgs.,by a vet& his daughter. I have suffered tremendously over the last 14 years with many health issues & near death experiences and the people responsible for my problems are still free to do this to others. This is the problem that I need advice on as I feel that this action can and probably has happened over again and needs to be investigated. Please advise me on what I need to do to resolve this unresolved problem. THANK YOU, Reed3

why the hell are you taking medicines given to you by a vet?!


All right. I'm CRAZY DESPERATE for cash. Mucho dinero. And nobody is hiring. I'm a college student have a job and need another one or else the car ppl don't get paid, and stuff will bounce. I just got called for an interview at the TYSON Meat Packing Plant in my town today at 1:30 and don't know if i'll show up. This is for the slaughterhouse division, and i'll probably be cutting meat in a cold place for 8 hrs with a hook and big knife. What should I do? Not go and hope for a callback from somewhere else? Take the tour and test the water? And by the way, a woman at work said her husband worked there for 25 years, and on my first day i'll probably see someone w/ a cow eyeball in their mouth to freak me out, or get fat thrown at me. I'm a queasy fella. I'm telling you right now. What do you think? Would you do it?

According to the national Bureau of Labor Statistics, meat packing is the most dangerous occupation in the US when you consider how often workers are injured.  You may want to take a look at this article before taking this job:\n\nhttp://www.motherjones.com/news/feature/2001/07/meatpacking.html


to me give the person a maxium of 6 years on death row.

I say 4 years should be the ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM!!!  Just had this conversation over, if you can believe it, Christmas Dinner.  I had a Federal Prosecutor telling me how the system of appeals works.  What a load of crap.  There is no way a prisoner, especially today with DNA, should be on death row for 24 years.  By giving them a 3 years, that is long enough for their appeal ( which, as I was told, can take 3 to 4 years before it is brought before the appeals court ).  When a person is sentenced to death, they have ( if they want ) an automatic appeal.  Although I do not agree with the Prosecutor, he says PEOPLE DON'T CHANGE.  If not, why do we even keep them in jail or prison ... just kill all of them ( yes, I am being sarcastic ).

It could be urethritis which is an inflammation of the urethra.  Best thing to do would be if it continues, to go see your doctor.


how does music affect society as well as individuals?

We all heard the music everywhere, and we even use it in order to help us to work better, to feel in a mode for doing something especial, or to have fun.\nEverybody have preferences on the music they like to hear when they work, or when they want to read, or even to hang out with friends and chat, or to party.\nI believe the music is part of the society, and it affect society in a lot of ways.\nMuch of the modern music is very hot, and talks a lot about sex, that of course make us to be more aware of our sexuality. The love music many times make us think for a second time when we have to take a decision on our relations. There are many motivating music that encourage the people to make a better world, to act on some good cause. \nI believe musicians, just as any other artist, or any professional in communications, have a big responsability in their hands.

Ancient people already know how fearful the nature is that they think the nature themselves are gods (the god of sun, of moon, of river, etc).\n\nTwo point of view that I can give you to understand it:\n1. Think how big they are. Big is beautiful, but it's dangerous too, no? Like you that can splat a bug in an instant.\n2. Like a fire on a burning candle. They are beautiful, very useful in dark environment. Misuse them and you can burn down your house (or yourself, or your table, or your bed, etc).

How do I stop a panic attack without drugs, what about if this attack leads to diarrhea?

If you are having panic attcks that are interfering with your normal daily functioning, and you have had several of them, you should see a doctor and get properly diagnosed.  It can be a symptom of a neurotransmitter imbalance in the brain which can get worse in time and lead to more severe symptoms down the road.  There are several good, very safe drugs that are used to treat this condition on a long term basis.  If you insist on not taking drugs, you might try taking St. Joh's Wort, which has similar beneficial effects on keeping certain neurotransmitters at normal levels.  Also raw cocoa bean extract works well, since the cocoa contains a natural monoamine oxidase inhibitor.\n\nAlso if you are having diarrhea, it suggests your body is releasing a very large impulse of cortisol during the attack.  This suggests to me that you may have a disease condition involving either the pituitary gland, or the adrenal glands.  In any case you need to be seen by someone and some tests need to be run to be sure you don't have a serious underlying condiiton.  For example a pituitary tumor or an adrenal tumor, or Cushing's syndrome.  You should be evaluated by an endocrinologist, or ideally a neuroendocrinologist.


I would say yes.  Things to think about.  Seattle has been without #1 WR D. Jackson and thier passing attack had been hampered by that.  He might play this week giving him time to get back into the offense.  The Seahawks right now have a #2 WR( Bobby Engram)acting as #1 and #3 WR (Joe Jurevicius) acting as #2.  Add big TE Jeremy Stevens into the mix as the usual #4 he really has been the #3 since Jackson was out.  \nOn Defense the secondary must stay heathly with Herdon, Dyson, Howell, Hamlin, Sharper out they need the bye in the first round to mend some wounds.  Add in the best pass receiver and that will open the running attack and the Seahawks would not have to depend as much on the running game.  The D is young but is playing inspired in the red zone they are giving up yards but not many points.\n\nQwest field was a big home field advantage in the Giants game.  Look for the same in the playoffs.

A "customer" is someone who buys a product. A "client" buys a service.  Likewise, a skilled tradesman serves a customer, and a professionally titled or licensed person provides services to a client.  So is a loan seeker a bank customer or a bank client?  I am trying to define the legal duties owed in the customer/ client relationship.

A client maybe defined as an individual who has been selected to represent a person/company or a groups' will or intent. \n\nA customer maybe define as an individual/company and or group who is seeking/shopping for products or services to his or her satisfaction or desire.


Internet Explorer or Firefox... please be sure to explain why.

There are at least three browsers that are better:\nFirefox, Opera and Mozilla.\n   The main reason being that they are all much safer to surf with than I E or I E based browsers such as DeepNet Explorer or Avant.\n   Also Firefox and especially Opera are faster and come with an integrated rss/xml-feeds reader.\n   Another thing is that there are hundreds of useful and excellent plugins for Firefox.\n   Moreover Mozilla, Opera and Firefox let you see the webpages as they should be seen. I E is hopeless in that regard.\n   I would say: try it and see for yourself. You'll drop I E...

Of all the people that spoke at the Final Stern FM Show, I thought Artie had the best speech. The crowd was really into it. He had nothing written, no script and just spoke from the heart. Artie Rules! F*** Jackie!

Artie was drunk and hilarious!!!  Especially with his comment about taking everyone to go see Brokeback Mountain!!!


i lost my ID and i am looking for the way to get it back i know the birthday and the country code but i lost the securet question and i do nto have an ulternate email address


I'm just asking but here is some advice.  Don't put links in your details section.  And don't ask about hacking passwords or WiFi connections, I just answered one like that and Yahoo! was swift to remove it.

If someone has reported an abuse and the report can be justified, Yahoo will be quick in deleting it. I have reported a couple of abuses and Yahoo was quick to respond. Did not do it to you for sure


I want to create an excel template that everyone uses to enter details and saves as a file but I want certain details to automatically update onto a Master spreadsheet and do not drop off if the original file is is changed. Can anyone help as I am not too hot with excel

if this is for a business application - check out \n\nwww.quickbase.com\n\nThis product rocks!  It does what you're asking but web based for multiple users with numerous reporting features and more. \n\nThere's a 30 day free trial and it's about 250 per month.


I am dealing with someone who has a problem, but thinks that he doesn't.  He hides it and doesn't realize that his actions are terrible when he is drunk but he thinks that it's not a problem.

They probably know deep down.\nA family and friend intervention is called for.\nIf that doesn't work, bring a camcorder on the next outing - that should scare him into sobering up for a while


Why does an object appear smaller the further away you are? Is it because there are less photons reaching the viewer?

Close.  I would say it's because the photons from the object hit a smaller area of the cornea.  If you think of the surface of the cornea as a screen onto which the world in front of the viewer is projected through a lens, as an object is moved away the angle between its top and bottom gets smaller and so the relative size of the object in that projection gets smaller.


I have a directory with over 2000 files. I wanted to modify there creation or modification date time stamp in Windows XP. There are commands in Linux to modify time stamps. Is there any similar command in DOS or any software to modify it. Please help.

I recommend Ninotech Date Edit 4.0 (freeware)\nhttp://home.worldonline.dk/ninotech/freeutil.htm


rock music incorporating elements of punk rock and heavy metal; also : the untidy working-class fashions typical of fans of grunge


I run a perfectly legit resource for basketball fans dealing with all of the top players around the world under the age of 22. It is quite popular and is widely quoted or referenced in newspapers, magazines, radio shows, etc. \n\nFor some reason it does not show up on Yahoo's listings, because according to them "it may not comply with our Content Quality Guidelines?" I have looked through the link they gave me http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/ysearch/deletions/deletions-05.html and have come to the conclusion that my site comes nowhere close to violating any of their rules. \n\nPlease take a look at it and tell me why you think they have decided to remove us from their search engine: http://www.draftexpress.com

My guess would be that they think it may fall under copywrite infringement. You know "No part of this broadcast may be copied without written consent". They probably feel that way regarding all photos and so on.


i'm sure you could get a better remuneration in a software Development job. \nBut if you enjoy the teaching, you should try to remain with a couple of classes a week, that's good for you because young people is always asking and challenging, and because it gives you the great feeling of satisfaction.\nBesides in IT i feel that real experience in software develop must be taken to the academy, if you know what i mean, my teachers use to have a lack on real experience, and they never told us what we were really gonna face in our day to day job!!!


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 could get infected.  If you type a lot just put a finger tip bandage on it and in a couple days it should shrink away on its own.  a better idea would be to wear the bandage during the day and then when you go to sleep take it off to let it air out.\nHope this helps!


It looks to me that the integer part means that you take the integer that comes before the given number if the given number is not an integer thus 0 would be the correct answer.


ever notice that most people at school/office/around town are happy to listen to nothing more than the quick headlines delivered by reporters who know nothing about a story.  then these people feel they can articulate an argument or actually be upset by this "news" that they were told.  people should google or wikipedia or learn about these things a little more before trying to talk about them.  the world isint that easy.

There is no "truth" in politics.  It's all perseption.  Those that listen to the media are foolishly adopting a tainted idea of the world and what is going on in it.  People like to be led, that's why so many followed Hitler.  People don't want to have to think for themselves, and so they don't.  I'm glad you look for answers.


What are you "sticking to" or quitting after the New Year?


What can the value of the magnetice quantum number be in relation to the l quantum number. Is is -l<M<l or is it -l 0 and l. Thanks for your help guys.

Hi,\n\nMagnetic Quantum Number "m" in relation to Azimuthal Quantum Number "l" can be depicted by- \n\nm = 2l + 1\n\nSo, for any subshell (defined by the value of L), there are (2L + 1) values of M possible given by-\n\nM = -L, -(L-1), ......, 0, ....., (L-1), L\n\nSo, from your given options, I think the second one- -L, 0, L  is the closest.


will the chargers win this week vs. indianapolis?

Based on last year's performance, I think that it is going to be a high-scoring and close football game. The Chargers struggle against the pass and with Manning at the helm for Indy, this could be a long afternoon for the Chargers.\n\nHowever, the Chargers are a lot more balanced offensively with a stellar running and passing game (thank you Antonio Gates) which is difficult to defend both at the same time.\n\nI think of all the teams that have a chance to beat Indy this season, the Chargers are the ones. However, I still think Indy will win by 2 (the story of the Chargers' season it seems... losing by less than 5 and close).


Hey ppl,\nI was wondering if the results I get from yahoo search are based on people who pay to get their results on the top of the list? I have seen that you can pay to get your result on first second place and so on...... Is this true?

Yes, and no. Helpful, huh? :)\n\nWhen you do a search, you'll see that there are paid search results at the top of the page (in the shaded box), at the bottom, and in the right-hand column. Those *are* paid placements, which is how Yahoo! makes money; the numbered items are pure-search items. \n\nSo yes, if you pay for it, you show up at the top of the page ... but not in the numbered search items.


That's what I was told as a teenager, here in DC, back in the late '60s. Several different adults told me this.\nSaid you have to have a chauffer's license to do so.\n(Also was told it's illegal to drive at night with the interior lights on.) I'd imagine things like this might vary from state to state but has anyone knowledge about this?

If it was against the law, then every parent with chidren would be in violation of the law.  With the inflatable airbags in the front passenger seat, you aren't allowed to have children in the front seat.  And since a majority of the driving that moms do is shuttling kids around, this would put them all at risk of receiving a citation.  \n\nI was also told once that it is illegeal to drive with the interior lights on.  I'm not sure if this is accurate or not but it is a distraction if it's on.


I want bar ends, but don't want to replace my bar ends.

well, one reason it's bad to have bar ends is that when you're on a narrow trail, you can hook something, like a branch sticking out. a lot of bikers chop their bars to make them narrower to avoid that kind of thing.


Fathead.com   I just ordered a couple the other day after seeing the commercial.


Her ex-husband cheated on her, so she cheated on him to get back at him and then left him. I personally think that she "reduced" herself to his level by getting back at him.....I DO NOT like the fact that she did that, though he deserved it. Now, I was never married and I don't know if i should give a chance to a woman who may, as well, be called a "cheater". D*MN!! She could've just left him!!! (There's more questions coming about her.....HELP ME OUT HERE PLS)

WELL,FIRST FIND OUT WHY HER FIRST MARRAGE DINT WORK.WAS IT HER FAULT OR HIS.IF IT WAS HER FAULT! YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IT. ANY WAY, ANYBODY THAT PLANS TO MARRY SHOULD CONSIDER WHAT THERE GETTING IN TO.


I have recentley been feeling very ugly and not attractive. I won't go out anymore. I just feel very sick all the time. The only way I feel good is when Im drinking. Can anyone tell me whats wrong with me.

I think you're a fox. Alcohol is the exact opposite thing to do for depression. Trust me. It's making you feel worse about yourself.\n\nFind a hobby (for me it was the gym) and focus all that negativity into something good.\n\nConsult a physician too. It's possible this could be more of a medical problem.


On the PC, they have had the avatars feature for years.  The Mac version has not been upgraded in a couple of years.  I love Yahoo's services and a chat program that worked with them all would be really nice.\n\nThese days, I find the Yahoo Messgenger client for the Mac not all that functional, beyond the basics. I think with the acquisitions they made the latter half of this year, they could really capitalize on that stuff and the growth of the Mac community - by reinvigorating support for their Mac client.

Because Yahoo!s being shallow and are ignoring Mac-users. Switch to Skype instead, and get your friends to do the same. It's the most cross-platform friendly client there is.


if we have x=cos t & y =sin t   then we will have x^2+y^2=1  so x &y are not independent variables & the partial derivate of y to x (∂y/∂x)isnt 0 am i right?

Two variables are independent if the value of one is not affected when the other is changed. For example,\nIf you have a rectangle, you can change the height without affecting the width, so height and width are independent variables. But, if you keep the height fixed, and change the width, the area of the rectangle will change, so the area and width are dependent variables.\n\nI am going to assuming that you know what an ordinary derivative is. To take a partial derivative, you start with a function of two or more independent variables. You treat all but one of the variables as if they were constants, and then take the derivative with respect that variable.\n\nFor example, if f(x, y) = 6x + 10xy + 12y\nthen to take the partial of f with respect to x, you treat y as if it were a constant and take the derivative with respect to x which gives you \n\n6x + 10y\n\nTo take the partial of f with respect to y, you treat x as if it were a constant, and differentiate\nit as a function of y and get\n\n10x + 12


IS IT MENTAL RETARDATION OR IS IT THE BRAIN DAMAGE FROM THE DRUG ABUSE AND ALCOHOLISM?


I believe that garlic has great health benefits and sneak it in to my families food whenever I can.  Is it wrong to make my husband eat food he can't stand just for the health benefits?

Garlic is awesome!!  Best spice in the world.  Keep pouring it on.  If they don't notice, who cares.  If you said poison, that would be wrong.  But it's just garlic, that is good for you.  GARLIC RULES!!


im curious, how long does a guy really last?

Actually there is really no corrct answer to that. Some people will last 30 minust and others 5 minutes. This depends on the individual. Now if you are having sex and you can't last lond then you probably have a very sensative head. Go to a drug store and buy a penis desensatizer. This simple reduces the sensativity which then causes you to last a few minutes longer.


You see rabbit, deer, dog and donkey, but never any squirrel poop, where does it go?

My friend just rescue a baby squirrel, he want to raise it for a while, we check it every day, the poop is black almost the half size of peanuts and squirrel doop poops everywhere especial when they feel nervous, they don't cover  poops but it is OK not smelly, they always wash their face and clean their fur.


I really like the secrets of nature.if u have info plz send.u can send info about natures secrets or ghosts.

The Bermuda Triangle has a reputation for being an area where ships and airplanes dissappear, often under mysterious circumstances. This reputation came to public awareness in the 1950s and became a household name in the 1970s, mostly due to "The Bermuda Triangle", a bestselling book written by Charles Berlitz.\n\nVarious explanations for the apparent high number of dissapperances have been put forward, ranging from the mundane to the hyper-fantastic.\n\nSkeptics contend that this region has a comparable rate of maritime and aerial incidents as any other similar sized region of the ocean. They point out that Lloyd's of London, a world-reknowned insurer of maritime vessels, does not charge a higher insurance premium for ships that regularly traverse the triangle.\n\nScientific considerations for an increased dissaperance rate take into acount that this region experiences severe tropical storms and is the source of many hurricanes. These storms create an increased danger to both ship and air traffic.\n\nRougue waves have also been put forward as a possible cause. These rare waves can reach heights of as much as 100 feet (30 meters), easily swamping most ships. Rouge waves, however, would have no effect on air travel.\n\nA third scientific explanation is methane hydrates. Methane deposits on the ocean floor may release bursts of methane gas that reduces the density of the water it permeates. Since ships rely on displacement to stay afloat, a reduction of density in the water would cause a ship to immediately sink. As the methane leaves the water and rises into the air, it would reduce the density of the air as well, thus reducing lift on aircraft, causing them to descend rapidly. In addition, the methane would change the air mixture taken into the engines of the aircraft, causing the engine to stall. While these events have not been witnessed in nature, they have been proven in lab experiments.\n\nMore exotic explanations for the Bermuda Triangle include it being an area of magnetic disturbance, temporal (or time) holes, the location of the lost city of Atlantis, or extra-terrestrial abduction.


People are weird, when you have a boyfriend they are jealous, and pick and pride into your relationship.  When you don't have a boyfriend they make you feel bad about it: "You must be so lonely!",or "It's couples night, sorry!"  And then more dreadfully, they try to fix you up, yuck.  Some people, want to see you happy, while others could care less....


HOW CAN TEACHERS BE ENCOURAGED TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE?

The best thing that works is the old stick and carrot routine. \n\nYou encourage them to work harder by offering rewards for jobs well done, and punish them for poor performance - up to and including firing. \n\nGet rid of tenure at public schools, and make it so that regardless of how much time you put in, you have to pull your weight or you have to go.


a lady first answered the phone and said that it was a student help center bu then # called again and hey refused to day who it was

Most calls I receive that display an 800 prefix and don't leave messages are almost certainly telemarketers.  My guess is that's who called you.


what are the names of the major islands in the chain?\nHow old is the youngest and oldest of these islands?

The Sandwich Islands is the name of the chain Also refered to as The Hawaiian Archipelago Or simply the Hawaiian Islands\n\nHawaii, Kahoolawe, Maui, Lanai, Molokai, Oahu, Kauai, and Niihau. The Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, other than Midway, are administratively part of Hawaii.\n\nThe oldest Island is Kure where you find the oldest volcano, Suiko (central) 64.7 Million years old.\n\nThe youngest Island is "The Big Island" of Hawaii, Kilauea volcano is 0.4 Million years old  Mauna Kea is 0.375 Years old


Besides changing my password how else can I prevent my yahoo E-mail from being hacked onto?

The same thing happened to me.  I was using a password that was a word, though not a common one.  I changed my password into a "strong" combination of letters and numbers to prevent this.\n\nAlso, when you log in, make sure you use the Secure method.  If you go to mail.yahoo.com you'll see you can select Standard or Secure as the logon method.\n\nFinally, I now use the application AI Roboform to keep track of my passwords (www.roboform.com), since they're all strong.  Plus I don't have to bother entering the password.  Enter a master password, select the login from the list in Roboform (Yahoo! mail, say) and it goes to the site and logs in for me.  You can set how often you have to enter the Master Password for Roboform in the preferences.


I am looking to help my fellow floor agents with hooking clients on the phone when they are on floor.  We seem to be having a problem with that at my office.  Amy advice would be appreciated.

I just asked my mom, who's been a realtor for over ten years, her "recipe for success" on the floor and this is what she said:\n\n"Ask the person what prompted the phone call, i.e., for sale sign, looking to buy, looking to sell, etc.  If the person saw the house, what was it that attracted the person to the house?  Was it the neighborhood? The price? The design? Try to keep a dialogue going by asking questions."\n\nShe also pointed out that some people can't get hooked even by the most skilled salesperson.  There are people out there who just want a question answered and aren't interested in working with a realtor.


How are they able to show that yellow line on TV and keep it exactly on the spot of the first down?

The main TV cameras are equiped with sensors so that keep track of the angles they are pointed and the amount they are zoomed in on the action. That information is set to a computer that computes where to add the yellow line to the picture. It is designed to only add the yellow line over the green grass on the field. If you watch a game where one of the teams has green on their uniform, you will sometimes see the yellow line show up over part of the uniform. See the article at the site listed below.


I want to know the relative marketshare of MP3 players in the US and WW for the last 3 years. Text and links to data sources is preferred

This is becmoing a difficult question to answer what with flash-based mp3 players (e.g., iPod nano) gaining in popularity. I'll take a shot.\n\nIt appears that in the US, the iPod has 75%-80% of the market (see top 2 links below). \n\nFor a breakdown of flash-based players, see the 3rd link.\n\nA breakdown of mp3 player sales is in the 4th link.\n\nA forecast of the mp3 player sales is in the 5th link.\n\nJupiter Research appears to have a report that would address your question directly (do you have LexisNexis access?). See the last link.\n\nHope this helps.


why dont boys jsut tell you they like you in person, it would really help in case youlike them back that way you dont go and find another guy i wish guys would jsut come out and say i like you....


Why do some people write Chanukah while others say Hanukkah? Rabbi Mark S. Diamond explains that these are two different English spellings and neither is incorrect. The Hebrew word for the festival of lights, Hanukkah/Chanukah, consists of five Hebrew characters opening with the consonant het (chet). This letter is not the same as the English letter "h" (as in house). It is also not the same as "ch" (as in child). It is a Hebrew guttural sound that has no precise equivalent in English.


I just want someone to treat me with love and respects thats the only thing im asking for this x-mas


I've heard this a few times now...is it really true and is there an explanation?

The moon controls the tide depending on the position of the moon depends on high tide low tide. the gravitational field strength of earth is affected. The moon has an affect on water controlling the waves and as the human body is made up over 70% water, it can have an affect on humans changing moods etc. hope this helps


M Theory attempts to go beyond superstring theory and purport that the multiverse is made up of 11 dimensions. \n\nM Theory is based on mathematical calculations and not empirical data. However, M Theory does successfully account for every issue of all superstring theories (classical, quantum physics, etc) and mathematically postulates the number to be at 11. \n\nFor more information:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_theory


Looking to find new and better way to please my Girl and get to to open up to new things and do old things more often.

i'm a big believer in doing it on your side. the d*ick really gets in there which will make her orgasm more.


At the start ,assume tortoise is 50m ahead of the hare ,conceded generously by the hare.By the time the hare runs 50m the tortoise would have traveled somme distance 'x'.By the time tha hare runs the diastance 'x',the tortoise would have run a dstance'y'.By the time the hare runs 'y' the tortoise would have gone further.Hence the hare can never never catch up and win, as the tortoise always keeps some distance for the hare to cover.So folks!would you like to change the story of the Hare and the tortoise?

The fallacy implied by the question is that the Hare's motion is somehow dependent on the Tortoise's progress. Or to suggest that the Hare can only proceed to point A if the Tortoise has been there first. In fact, motion is governed by velocity which is dependent on time. For this reason, we can only fairly compare their progress by comparing their movement over time.\n\nObviously, the only way the Tortoise wins is if it can travel 50m faster than the Hare travels 100m.\n\nEven if we must relate the Hare's progress in terms of the Tortoise's, we can prove that a decreasing geometric progression has a limit - in this case the point in space where the Hare would catch up to the tortoise if an infinite number of "Hare catches up to x while Tortoise travels to y" iterations occured. If this point in space is before the finish line, we can say the Hare will win, otherwise we have a fast Tortoise.

Do you or anyone you know work in a facility where the remains of UFO's are stored?

there have been several UFO crashes through out the world in the last 50 years..including the United States..and more recent Russia in the eighties with none human bodies recovered from the sites...but it is all the same..they are kept secret for their own gains and advantages..they are real...I have seen them several times in day and night in the sky...anyone who has that kind of government clearance ..to the ufos are under very close scrutiny..they are risking life if any information was to get out..that would be why...we never get any info about area 51..yes it is the greed factor...pity...we all could probaly be better off if those technologies from the downed crafts we given to the world to use..for the good of mankind ..and for our poor poor planet Earth


Does anyone know where I can find scholarships that don't require any essays or reccommendations or anything?  I'm lazy and need money. lol

Wouldn't the mail-order diploma factory-college that someone with that attitude would attend provide the essays and "reccommendations" (spelled recommendations) in exchange for a credit card number?


I am intesreted in a career on computer security. However, I would currently be interested in a career only on the .Net or Java platform. Which will be better, keeping in mind my orientation of eventually venturing into security? Would .Net be better since it supports many languages...and will thus help me dabble with C & C++?

Deepanjan,\n\nTo give an overview, presently .NET is preferred for windows based applications. But Java platform is meant for web based applications, i.e, Client-Server architecture. The advantage of Java is also the disadvantage to it. That is, running in multiple platforms is the advantage and since beacuse of the reason the class files are exposed and can be decompiled by anyone.\n\nIf you are intrested in the computer security, I can advice you to go with .NET, since Java is not high enough in that side. Using .NET you can easily access the system resources and many other details easily. Java requries some third party libs and has a diffrent license.\n\nReg dabbling with C/C++, even with Java you can do that. There is some concept called JNI (Java Native Interface) where you can use other languages with Java.

i mean looks, height, innocence, sexuality, stillness,\nwhat is the order of preference

We guys tend to think in terms of body parts, but women think in terms of overall: the whole person.\n\nBut they do recognize parts: height, broad shoulders, muscularity (if visible), confidence, and butt and penile equipment is in there somewhere.


I think we fall in love for a reason ,don't you think?We fall in love bacause we love that person or we addmire them.

It's an awe. When you watch someone and love their mannerisms, their words, the way their mind clicks, their reactions, their little idiosyncracies.... you realize that you are just in awe. We fall in love because experiences have taught us how to appreciate those things we see in another. Usually we fall in love with someone that has the kind of traits that complement what you have in your life. Love isn't really complicated. It's honestly so simple. But it's rare.....very rare. So once we find it.....we tend to want to cling to that feeling and that person forever.  :)

Work hard.  Take risks.  Think outside the box.  There is no one path, but you can bet careful saving and investing will help.


would u like to see the world join as one and do things together and not apart or secret? \ncould we put all the money we waste and spend on military twards a better and future world and space?

It would take a catastrophic event for that to happen. There are too many countries with too many leaders, all of whom would want to rule the world. It is a nice thought, but so is winning the lottery....


Your question doesn't exactly have one answer.  Dial-up was massively introduced about 10 years ago.  However, the earliest recorded use of communication between computers through a data line began in the 1950s.  Joseph Licklider was actually one of the pioneers for global connectivity.  He was considered an expert in "artificial intelligence."    Google Mr. Licklider and you'll get more information on his contributions to dial-up networking.

Ever since of was younger,living in the bronx, my dominican family and freinds have all talked trash about mexicans at some point in their lives.\nSo someone please straight'n things out.

I am not Dominican or Mexican, but here is my best guess: In general Mexicans are at a lower socioeconomic status than Dominicans. Since the average Caucasian American can't tell the difference between Dominicans and Mexicans (like the way some people say all Asians look alike), Dominicans are often mistaken for Mexicans, and feel that they are treated with less respect because people assume they are Mexican and poor.\n\nP.S. Not my belief, I believe people should be treated as INDIVIDUALS, not as Dominican, Mexican, Asian, Caucasian, rich or poor, but this is our society...


I have been searching for the name of a comedy film which has Antartica as the location.  One of the primary selling points depicted in the ads was a penguin named Melvin Foxx (or Fox?).  Movie databases usually do not list animal characters, so this one has been hard to find.  Anyone with a good memory out there?

If it's an older film, I don't know. There is, however,\nan animated film called "Happy Feet", about penguins, due for release next November. (I believe it's still in production.)
