Sex linked traits are traits controlled by genes located on either the X or Y chromosome.

because if its y linked then women can't have it because women don't have a Y chromosome while if its X linked it is usually recessive so males don't have a dominate allele to counteract it so the recessive shows through and to have two X recessive alleles in one cell is very rare because the male has to have the recessive phenotype and the female has to have a heterozygous genotype. Sorry for the in depth language.


I know that a horizontal handlebar on the door means "push", a vertical handlebar on the door means "pull".\nWho decided this rule?

The handle bar on a door is called a "panic bar" and is designed to be "pushed on" by people choking and blinded by smoke in a burning building.  If the crowd panics they will head for the door but may not be able to operate other mechanisms.  Panic bars must also be installed on both side of a revolving door that would become jamed with people during a fire.


I won 5K on small claim court. The pool guy ruined my pool completely. He said he cannot pay me ever. What to do in such case? Anyone have been in similar?

In a small claims court, you are limited on the things you can do.  One is try to put a lien on any of his property until he pays, or try to go back to court and liquidate his assests.  Another thing you can do is report to the credit bureau's that there is an unsatisfied judgement against him.  This will keep him in financial hurt for loans, credit (personal and business), renting, etc..  But you will have to renew the report every 6-12 months.  Also, you can see if you can get an garnishment against future employment.   That is about it.  Oh there is one other possibility, but not for sure it will work.  You can go to some of these collection companies and see if you can get them to try to collect for you but they cost lots of $$$$$.


ok then at the risk of sounding like a pervert i will put it up in here, well its not really perverted but i dreamed about pulling live vine like plants out of my vagina and planting them. any ideas of a meaning?

I don't think it is perverted... but it sounds like maybe you are having subconscious thoughts about having children? Vine like plants could be considered as fertility (having babies), and planting them means you want them to nurture and grow. It's the only thing I can come up with:). Check out the site below for some more info maybe? Good luck!


i need Hurricane 8000 USB Modem driver(vista) and some other hardware also still didnt install... where can i get windows vista drivers?? they released or still didnt??


After all, the Mona Lisa doesn't have any.  It was the fashion for women (but what about men?) to shave off their eyebrows in Renaissance Florence, Italy.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh all i have to say is cantalope.


Girls, my girl is thinking about getting a tattoo just to the right side of her P....y, also tell me what you think and if you have one.

I don't like it... although it isn't gonna stop me!!!


I mean come on guys, you know the only reason you're hating is because the Lakers win too much. It's like the Yankees Complex. Everyone hates the Yankees and wants them to lose that isn't a Yankees fan. I know I'm like that. I'm a Dodgers fan myself, but I have no hate towards the blue jays or some team like the Brewers. I just don't like the Yankees and the Giants by default...just like how people just hate the Lakers by deafult. This is my theory. \nEvery sport has that team of champion status. In baseball, that team is the Yankees. In college basketball, it's UNC or Duke. The Lakers is just that organization, an organization of champions. Every season the Lakers don't make the playoffs is equivalent to placing last place in the league and the people that hate the Lakers just have to realize that our standards are in a totally other realm. Just deal with it. Every time a Lakers player misses a shot brings unsurpassed joy to you. Hey you know what? I'm happy for you...I really am...

I don't dislike The Lakers! They have one of the best coaches that ever was in the NBA. People probably dislike them because of the same reason they disliked THE BULLS! They win!\nThe only team I can't tolerate is The Pistons! And I am from Michigan!!!!


hey. im 38 weeks pregnant and have been told i could 'pop' any time. things havent been goin so great with my man, with the stress of everything and i was wondering, i wanted to spend one romantic night alone together before baby comes. any ideas of what i could do??? i wanna make it really special and i dont have a bath tub LOL

rent some romantic movies, get some strawberries, get some sparkling cider, the kind that doesn't have any alcohol content in it, and have an evening together just relaxing and enjoying each other's company. u can give each other massages, though be careful of ur belly, bc if a pregnant woman is massaged on her tummy, it can lead to premature labor.  Good luck, and congrats!!


and you end up paying no taxes (or a negligable amount) would your political views change ? Why or why not ?

I'm good at taxes and deductions -- in fact I prepare tax paperwork for friends and family -- for free.  I don't believe it's a matter of how much you pay in taxes that counts.  It's a matter of how you feel about living in this country.  I'm middle aged, single, never had a child, don't drive and attended non-public schools.  But I don't have a problem paying my fair share of taxes because I think it's important to help this country pay for children, for roads, for education and other public works.  Oh go ahead, call me a liberal.  I'm not insulted.  I just like living in America and believe that there are certain costs that go along with that.

My lower back hurts so badly i can hardly stand it. DR said i had mild scoliosis. the pain pills he gave me helped a bit but there is something more to this.It hurts when i sneeze or bend over, drive or ride in a car, sitting up straight causes a lot of pain, also get up and move about. i find a bit of relief when i lay on my stomach with my leg propped up on my husband or a pillow. i can not help but think i have a very bad bladder infection or something of the sorts.

If you had a bladder infection it would not be comfortable to urinate.  If you feel it is internal and not your spine, it could be kidney infection.  I would defiantly see a doctor.\n\nUmm...not defiantly...Definitely


Really tell me not all of you pretty ladies are selve centered b****es. no really cause all the ones i met think there all that. please tell me there is hope out there.

There is hope out there.  I think I am sexy, guys tell me all the time. BUt I am not stuck on myself.  I am not high class.  But i do like to look good.  I might go every once in awhile to go and get my nails done. or go get me an outfit but its not an everyday thing.


last week he broke up with me and we have been together for almost 2 years. He was my first real love, well he was my first with everything.but i have been trying to tell him how much i love him but it seems like it doesnt matter but in 3 days we are going to have lunch with him and i bought him a card that says i love and miss him but what can i write to make him see how much i really do care about him and how much i want him back?

Get someone to take a photo of you being done from behind by a big stud.Send your ex the photo and write on the back that you are with a real man now.


why do whites think they're better than ANYONE else? hate to tell ya but whites weren't here first i see a lot of "chucks" that are white. get over yourself

i'm not white and they do think they're the best


Buddhism states that suffering comes from desire. If you want to get rid of suffering, you must get rid of desire. Now, you desire to get rid of desire. Then, you will desire to get rid of the desire to get rid of desire..... Isn't this contradicting?

Yes, but eastern philosophies are abound in contradictions and paradoxes, they love them infact.\n\nThis is the same thing as doing a good deed because you want to be seen as good.  It is just false.  As long as you hold onto the concept of wanting to be 'rid of desire' you will never be rid of desire.  This is an established 'doctrine' in buddhism and taoism, and nothing new i'm afraid.\n\nHaving a desire to be rid of desires can be used up until you have no more desires left, then you can rid yourself of this last one by dissolving the concept of self, and doing only what is natural, what tao would do.\n\nThey say you have to unlearn to become enlightened, but you can't do this without being learned first!  That's the bit they usually miss out.\n\nThey had more time on their hands than you :)


i saw it in a geography diagram of a desert and it looks like a layer under the ground.

yes, it is the layer underground where the water that precipitates through the groundrock reaches. thats where wells tap from. it normally collects on a layer of nonporous rock which can be a varying depths below the ground we walk on.


my aunt get to know about my Boyfriend. she dont talks with me . i feel very depressed. she is going to tell my mom . god knows what is written in my destiny. plz what should i do.at his moment.

Tell your Mom before your Aunt does!  Why doesn't your Aunt not like him?  You never mentioned what you Aunt had to say about him.


I am 14 and I want to know if I can work at circuit city, best buy, or ebgames at 15 or 16.

look under employment on their web-page. Most places hire provided you have working papers, but you may not be able to work after 9pm or full time. Sucks for a kid looking for summer employment.


If someone says that will be $200.00 which is inclusive of consultation, shipping, online support, medicine does that mean that is included in the $200.00. You get everything for $200.00?

Yes, you get everything for the $200.  To indicate these items are not included in the $200 it would say something like $200 plus shipping, etc.


i am making a video for a youth event and need these for it by tonight

What the hell kind of youth event?  Well, then again, MADD had some shocking videos.  Maybe if you were doing a prevention program they might be able to help you.


My brother is joining the Marines in 1 yr. and I am worried he will be sent home in a body bag.

pretty darn high.  Take comfort in the knowledge that it will be at least a year after he joins before he will get sent there, and they will properly train him and prepare him for the duty.


ok it goes " do you really want to live forever, forever?"

They are both Indian mythologies written in sanskrit.

I've heard about it... Ramayana is a God and he have to save his wife Sita Dewi from evil king of Lanka {forgot name}.....by help from his brother Laxamana, Jentayu and Hanuman he make it through and also defeat Indra...that have many magic....coz' of that Deepavali celebrated...i think so... I've learned it from classic literature


They both were corny ,but who would you pick over who?

MC Hammer...they were both crazy but he turned out better. Vanilla Ice is still crazy.


If you report someone for failure to file 4 or 5 years of business an and personal taxes, how long does it usually take for them to contact that person?

There is no telling.  The referral has to be reviewed and a determination made whether or not to pursue the matter.  If it is pursued, the case is assigned to a manager, who in turn assigns it to an agent.  The agent then does a behind-the-scenes investigation regarding the person.  Finally, the person will be contacted (unless a decision was made somewhere along the line not to pursue the matter.).  Each of these steps can be delayed by workload, lack of personnel, etc.  There is no statute of limitations on an unfiled tax return, so there is generally no rush in these cases.\n\n**Regarding follow-up**\nSure it will eventually catch up with them.  The IRS can do up to six years' of tax returns within one audit when a nonfiler is involved, so by the time that the audit begins the person/business may be audited for five or six years at once.


We're gonna play a little game... it's called "Who's in my mouth?"

hahaha Dane Cook is the sh!t.... I love him... the kool aid joke is the best... "yeah comin through the wall is real f*ckin cool, USING THE FRONT DOOR IS COOL... don't touch me you drink, don't touch me you giant beverage"........ haha I love it


No pitcher in the little league world series can actually throw 99 mph from a big league mound, although when they convert the pitches from little league speed to big league speed they show that they do. Take Danny Almonte for example, every time he pitched they would say that the fastball was like a 99 mph fastball, but now he just throws 90.

what they are doing calculating the speed of a mlb pitch based on the little league dimensions. little league pitchers only throw from 45 feet as opposed to 60.5 feet of the mlb. 74mph from 45 feet is equivalent to 99mph from 60.5 feet. it in no way implies that he throws 99mph. what they want you to see is that if this were a mlb game this is how fast the pitcher would be throwing in comparison. the reaction time is the same for both batters .42 sec


The LINKSYS wireless G router with 54mbps(whats that???) or a D-LINK wireless G router with 54mbps? the LINKSYS is $49.99 and the D-LINK is $39.99? PLEASE HELP! I'm totally clueless....?

Theyre both top companies. Its only a matter of personal preference I'd say if the DLink because of price as you have no brand bias yet.


I always wanted to know what the record time for a woman being in labor was. I wanted to know because my Mom was in labor with me for 72 hours!

My water broke 9 days before my baby was born.  I was in the hospital in labor for 37 hrs., after reaching 1 cm.  But that first 1 cm. took almost 8 days.  \n\nI pushed for about 7 hours continuously!  I was told that it was a record: 10:20 PM until 5:17 AM.  My baby girl was stuck big time!  And, they could not do a c-section on me because I'm severely allergic to latex.  The c-sect Dr. tried his best to deliver my baby by using suction & forcepts.  Nothing worked!  Eventually, he had to let my Dr. take over while he got the c-sect room ready latex-free.  I told him that I would push my baby out myself!  So, I did, just 3 min. before he showed up to get me.  I was ripped clear up into my rectum!  She was big!  That hurt!  \n\nMy poor Dr. had just gotten off the plane from his vacation in Hawaii when I had already been in labor several hours.  Next time, by delivery was planned!  No vacation for him when I'm having a baby!  LOL  \n\nMy second childbirth only took 1 1/2 hours total.  Only took a few pushes.  Go figure!


I can't get high enough or stay up long enough.

I struggled on my spiral at first too but it got TONS better so don't worry. Just...\n\n(1) Stretch every morning and night.\n\n(2) Hold on to the back of a chair or a windowsill and bring your leg up into spiral postion stretch it as high as you can and HOLD it there for about 30 seconds then let it down, rest for a second and do it again. Repeat about 5-6 times, try and work up to 10 times. \n\n(3) When you do it just keep thinking "Stretch Stretch Stretch" and push yourself to get your leg higher and higher and eventualy your muscle will get strong enough to lift your leg into postion everytime.


I have 3 credit cards with balances around $1500 all together.  Is it a good idea to transfer those balances to a credit card with around $2500.00.  I tryning to reduce my monthly payments until Im able to pay them off at tax time next year.  I just purchased a home and I want less bills as possible.

If your credit is in good standing,you probably get offers in the mail for o% for 6 months to a year for transfers.Transfer your balances to them.Some cards limit the amount you can transfer,so you may have to open a few new accounts.You can also call your credit card company and ask for a lower rate.If you are a good customer,they will help you.I am paying off a new roof,and I got 0% for a year.it's a great help not having to pay any interest.When the year is up,and my balance is not paid up,I will look for another company offering a 0%.Get the point? Good luck.


We recently subscribed to an ADSL internet account. The ISP installed a DSL wireless gateway (Siemens SpeedStream 6520) in a room. But later only we could see that wireless signal was not strong enough in my room to acces the network / internet. I use an integrated WLAN device of my notebook computer (Acer Aspire 5612WLMi).\nPlease suggest me how to improve the signal strength / quality.

ok this is easy i can help you there are a few things you can do i will give you the easiest first 1. if your router is like all other routers then what you need to do is go to comp USA or radio shack or where ever you can find the cheapest price on range extender antenna they go for about 50-60 bucks they will increase your signal and are easy to put on just unscrew the old ones and put on the new ones 2. if you cant take you antenna's off then you need to buy a range booster that will amp you signal to help you get to rooms you cant reach with your router =-) that's the easy way to do it


Seriously, there are ads from major US companies heavily advertasing in Spanish, all this hypocrisy is just silly.\nWe dont force people to learn English because there is money involved, simple economics.

That's so true.  \n\nAlso, when you go to grocery stores, don't you notice estrange produce and you wonder how do you eat it?\n\nIt is all about the money.......and to get us thinking in something else instead of other problems as the gas prices...


i find a lot of questions tha are deleted are not tat vulgar or obscene.  but even if they are we have the freedom of speech in the uk and usa and any other free country so should have yahoo have the right to remove them

I don't think so.  I think that Yahoo, as an individual corporation sponsoring this forum, has the right to delete questions or answers.  You are free to start your own forum where you can say almost anything you want without fear of prosecution.


Lets fight back about what is right not whats going to make all the money, we need to salute our flag in school we need to any thing we can to make us the home of the brave and strong again. Not pulled around like puppets.Lets get love,peace happiness all the great stuff that makes us the GREAT U.S.A. IS ANYBODY OUT THERE THAT CARES?

I'm in. We need to re-establish morals too!


When I observe animals behaving strangely, it appears to come at times of great change.

Well, there are reports of animals leaving the area before some kind of disaster strikes, and of dogs who can detect when there owners are sick.\n\nThrough the centuries, shamans have sought the guidance of animal spirits, to become more in tuned with the world, to heal the sick, and to make wise decisions for the tribe or clan.\n\nDo I believe any of it? Well, lets just say, that if I ever see a bunch of animals vacating an area, I'm going to vamoose myself.


I say %75 Yes at the mo. They seem to be building up and the yanks just love that oily stuff

Take it at 95%. The US, Britain, and France all are getting tough on the UN to stop Iran from its nuclear program. But as you know IRan is not listening and probably won't listen into they have obtained nuclear weapons.


It's makin me crazy to see the constant error message'\nCan you help me figure how to just delete or get rid of the error sign?

I've experience it before.To solve this problem,the best thing you must do is reformat your pc because i believe that your pc has infected by virus.

For the past 10 or so years "Enlightenment" has become more and more of a goal of the American people.  This is evidenced by the movies we watch, the talk shows on the radio and TV and the countless books, CD's and DVD's available on the subject.\n\nKinesiology is being linked to enlightenment and is consider by some to be the way to communicate with the entire body of human consciousness.  There are many noted professionals who believe in and practice Kinesiology and who bring people together in the search for truth.  Truth, according to some, can be found using Kinesiology.\n\nThe question is though, is the path to enlightenment really something people are using to move them from the ordinary to the elite?  I studied enlightenment and Kinesiology for a solid six months.  In my studies I realized in that time that Kinesiology is pure and utter crap.  Enlightenment is a state of mind that only one's self can fully appreciate, but serves no gainful purpose aside from personal peace ...

Enlightenment that is not for all humanity isn't Enlightenment! There is no personal peace without peace and liberation for every person. \n\nKinesiology has nothing to with Enlightenment, and neither does elitism. With ego death all competition, inequity, arrogance and self righteousness die. People have made Enlightenment into another object to attain, but it is their egos that want it and so their egos learn the 'enlightenment script.' As long as there is a desire to do harm, there is no Enlightenment. \n\nAnd NO enlightened person would ever want to profit from their revelations. If they are making money selling enlightenment, they are no different than any other cult/religion. \n\nKinesiology! That is sad...\n\nIn Christ (not Christianity which offer no enlightenment)


People from America are Americans, People from Candada are Canadians, people from France are French, people from Russia are Russian.... you catch my drift...

He isnt heart broken, it is suppose to mean he is the heart break kid breaking other's hearts. He was the ladies man when he split away from the Midnight Rockers.  Thus his theme song.

just want to know what others think of her.  I think by supporting bush in 04 it would be nearly impossible to redeem herself.

Mary Cheney is a tool and a hypocrite. I've read other interviews with her in the last week or so and she should be ashamed of herself. She turned her back on her community, the community that fostered her emotionally and gave her a job selling us Coors beer, to get in bed with the enemy. And she lives in this deluded world where it doesn't matter how much Daddy's friends hate her as long as Daddy loves her. That is sick. \n\nShe thinks that marriage equality will just happen by itself over time, but it wont. It is happening because of the liberal activists who are pouring our blood, sweat, and tears into a desperate bid to be equal, fighting against the very hateful Republicans that she is quietly serving. She's a coward as far as I'm concerned. She is in a position to do real good (other politicians have had gay relatives who spoke out such as Candace Gingrich and Chrissy Gerhardt), and she wastes it so she can remain comfortable. \n\nShe wastes her chances, makes excuses for homophobes, ignores the people who actually WORK for gay equality, and seems to think that everyone is ok because she is rich enough to buy a lot of legal rights with her partner.  A lot of us gay folks aren't rich, aren't making millions at AOL and Coors, don't have rich parents, and need to fight to be equal because we can't buy it.  \n\nI call shenanigans and say that Mary Cheney is not deserving of anything but contempt.


when my boyfriend gets drunk he tells me everything how he better not loose me and he loves me that means alot to me if true i am close with family and they know i am a good woman to him and my boyfriend show me love but with his attention to me when he is with me i am so confused maybe i am just to young for him?

I can barely understand your question, and you don't say how old the two of you are. You sound too young for a relationship.


Cavs or Detroit, why? Spurs or Mavericks, why? and Suns or Clippers, and why?

I think that Detroit has too much experience and pride to let Lebron win on their home court in a Game 7, so Pistons win in that series. In the Spurs/Mavs series, the Spurs definitely have the upper hand and confidence going into Game 7 at home. After being down 3-1 and practically being hailed as an "upset" they came back and did the unexpected--and you have to think that might be in Dallas' head a little after such an emotionally blow. I pick San Antonio to advance...As far as Suns and Clippers, I think it's a toss up! Both teams have laid it all down, and if I HAD to pick--I'd choose Phoenix. All in all? I see Spurs and Heat *(upset against Detroit)* in the finals, with the Spurs winning a back-to-back! We shall see though..! =)


I just had one ovary removed because it had many cysts.  I am afraid the other one will develop cysts as well. Has anyone out there experienced the removal of one ovary and then has success or failure trying to have children?

Reading current statistics, there is really no difference in getting pregnant having just one ovary, compared to having two.


If don't have a free site, how about the site with lowest service charge or fees.

THERE ARE SOME BUT NOT AS RELIABLE OR REPUTED AS PAYPAL SO YOU ARE BETTER OFF WITH PAYPAL

recently i purchase on web camara i dont know how to use in pc

If it comes with a USB interface, just plug it and install the driver. You will then be able to use it automatically with MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, or other similar applications.


Why are people sooo mad about illegals breaking our laws but at the same time don't seem to care if the president does? \n\nI think the media is controlling you and making you all feel this way. I'm always hearing on the news when an illegal Mexican kills someone or rapes someone. You would get the impression that all are bad when it's not the case. People need to learn to think for themselves and stop buying into the propaganda, that's what it clearly is. The elections are coming.. What's your opinion?

I think it's a form of brainwashing.If you repeat something often enough people perceive it as a truth.Ever heard of a "spin doctor"?We,as a nation,have become a herd of sheep blindly following a leader who is leading us to the edge of a precipice.


I was watching TV (to learn English), and I encountered a few words that I don't know what they mean:\n1) what "spooky" means? can you give me an example of when you will say that word?\n2) what "flattened" means (as in "I'm flattened")? again, give me an example.\nThanks a lot for helping.

"That's spooky!" = "That's a coincidence/that is totally unexpected!"\n\n"I'm flattered" = "You have said something nice and I'm pleased about it"\n\n"That's fishy" = "That is suspicious/unusual."


I would really like to know why the Christians, and in particular the American Christians using this web site can be so offensive to other religions, races and creeds, and can come out with thinks that sound so ill-informed, they forget that these comments are going out to a global audience and reflect badly on the whole of white, Christian, western society.\n\nI was brought up with Christianity being the main religion, but I was also taught to respect other peoples cultures and belief systems.  I know there are good and bad people in all areas of society, but on Yahoo Answer it appears like the idiots have the loudest voice!\n\nSometimes you would be led to believe that the only religion was Christianity and that others like Zoroastrianism, Hindi, Judaism, Buddhism, Kabala, Muslim and all the others were just not options! \n\nWhat do people with rational point of view think?

you're so right.\n\ni am a guy who is always in doubt if there is a God or not. my guess is i'll be always in doubt, because rationally speaking, all humans are too small to understand anything yet about how we exist and why we exist. But it's always fun to try and search for more truth about that.\n\ni came to this website, because my girlfriend is somewhat a christian. her family is christian, she herself is also, but not very biblical or strict. Yet, when we get married her family would like us to perform some biblical traditions in the ceremony. i don't have a probem with that, because i know it means much to them. so, i came to this website to learn. to see how human christianity is, how filled with love it is, and how nice it can be to hear the 'message of love' from christian people.\n\nspecially from christian from the 'land of the free' i would have expected a free, openminded vision on the world.\n\ntruth is, most of the answers i read, most of the opinions i saw threw not only me, but also my girlfriend much further away from christianity. we both were really shocked actually.\n\nthe intollerance, ignorance and prejudice were hard for us to read. I'm from Holland, which is a very openminded country to almost all subjects. My girlfriend is Romanian, a country which is orthodox-christian, where it still is almost forbidden to be gay for example. yet, even to my girlfriend the opinions from some of the american christians about homosexuality made us both feel disgusted with christianity as such.\n\nit's sad to see that people with so much freedom can't even see the consequences of their words. Being born in a rich, free country is, in this world pure luck. it's sad to see that people with so much luck, can still remain to be so judgemental on everything that strikes them as weird or different.


i relly dunt wana hurt him\ncos i relt luv him

Just tell him your busy or preoccupied, and that you need to spend some time on your own or with your friends.  Be clear that it's not his fault, it's just something you need.  If he really loves you, he'll understand. Be sure you still make some time for him, but feel free to limit that time for as long as you need.


I am thinking about playing basketball next year in high school and I would like a solid all-around game.

First key to becoming a good shooter is confidence you have to know you can make the shot or you never will. Second is patience your going to have the patience to keep trying even when it doesn't look like your getting any better. Then you have to have strength to keep going through the good times and the bad and then last is Practicing all the time every time. You have to be willing to practice as long as neccesary you have two want it more than anybody else. You have to shoot hundreds of times a day then everything will fall into place. Just remeber every day you aren't practicing somebody is and there getting better are you so if you two were to meet one day and both wanted the same position who would win???????? By the way you may be wondering why practice is last behind all of those other thing. Well if you don't have endurance how long are you going to keep practicing, if you don't have patience how many misses before you quit, and if you don't have strenght how many people are going to stop you?????????Worry about your foundation because it holds the rest !!!!! A basketball players foundation is his mind so hows your foundation???????


i have a problem with an Slackware 10.2 system (P4, 1 GB RAM). The whole problem is random, i mean, if i edit some files, compile etc, at a time, it gives me errors like: "too many open files" or "cannot open shared library...". after this even reboot or halt commands don't work...\ni mention that i close each file after editing, so i have no files opened.\ndo you know what can be the problem?\nthanks!

Some program appears to be crashing.\n\ncheck /var/log/messages to see what's going on or use the "Lsof" or "fuser" command. The "top" command can see which programs are using the most cpu. see what kind of errors it is, it doesnt mean you have too many files open sometimes, it can be sockets and threads.\n\n\nHow to stop the problem depends on the program causing it.\n\n\nif you need more help try linux forums\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=linux+forums\nhttp://www.google.com/search?q=slackware+forums

ALMOST all armed conflict today is rooted in Islamic religious demands. Ofcourse Muslims claim these demands are all justified, whether its the murdering that Islamists are doing in the Philipines or Kashmir or Chechnia..etc..they are ALLLLL JUSTIFIED. In any case, many people insist that Islamic violence has no relation to Islam despite all the violence and hate in the Quran. \n\nSOOO....\n\nsuppose ALLL....EVERY SINGLE CONFLICT EVERYWHERE IN THE WORLD was rooted in ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS DEMANDS...take the very few non-islamic wars or conflicts in the world...like the Colombian FARC...suppose that became and Islamic conflict as with the remaining few...\n\nWOULD THAT FINALLY PERSUADE YOU THAT ISLAMIC VIOLENCE AND HATE AND WAR AND INTOLERANCE IS RELATED TO ISLAM or will you continue with your PURELY INSANE belief that ALLL RELIGIONS ARE INHERITENTLY GOOD?

Yes Islamic conflicts are on the rise but if you see word history, conflicts have always been there only the reason keeps changing. Its more to do with human mind that seek conquering others rather than co haboting with it. If you drop your hatred and think, you too are no different than islamic violence! If u hate an 'apple' with equal intensity as a person who loves an 'apple' your relation is as strong


I need a concept for a story I'm doing for 9th grade English. I'm kind of stuck. Magical realism is the use of realistic characters and a realistic setting, but unusual events occur.

Magical realism is basically when wacky, unrealistic and magical things are incorporated into a story as if they're part of every-day life. For example, you can describe someone casually walking down the street, waving to his friends giraffes, who are selling fresh fruits and vegetables to feed their baby elephants. It has to be crazy, and unrealistic, but told in such a way as if it was a normal life. A great movie exmaple of magic realism is Big Fish. Maybe you could do a review of that?

Source:\n\n1 Cor 2:15 "The spiritual man makes judgments about all things, but he himself is not subject to any man's judgment:" \n\n1 Cor 4:5 "Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God."\n\nIs it just me or is the Bible telling us to do two opposite things at the same time?  I hope religious people are good at multi-tasking or they will burn!

The explanation is simple; we are instructed to have our own personal ethics. You see we are told to make a decision or “judgment” about the things we will be a part of in this life. We are told this so that we will have firm convictions and not get caught up in trends fads and cultural customs. Buy setting those convictions on the same higher plain as the 10 commandments will raise the Christian above the lax standards of mans law. Essentially we will be above that type of reproach. We are then given the assurance that if we are doing as we are told and the heathen next to us is rising to power by nefarious means we should not hold a hard place in our hearts because the day will come when that judgment will be administered by the same ruler we have already lived in submission to. Meaning their demise comes later as we all watch. As for multi-tasking imagine the non believer as they try beating the fire out on their head while screaming, holding their eyes into their places as they melt and swimming in a lake of fire.  WOW right.


Well, it kinda pisses me off even more than I was before, because now I have 10 questions instead of just 7.  WTF people?  This is absurd.  Something needs to be done.

My bro's gf is trying to hook me up with her cousin. I met him, but he had been up all night finishing his grduating project and was very tired. He said 3 words to me, but kept looking at me the whole time with his head down. My bro's gf said he told her that he really liked me, but he's extremely shy when meeting a girl he thinks is pretty, AND he was way out of it. He told his Mom to tell me that he'll talk to me more the next time. Is this weird? Should I give him a chance?

You don't need to do full sit-ups. Do crunches instead and only go up to where you start to feel the pull of your abs then hold it there for a couple seconds. But make sure you are keeping your back and neck straight so that you don't injure yourself in the process.\n\nIf you HAVE to do full sit-ups make sure you are doing them correctly. Back and neck straight. You might want to consult a personal trainer to show you the proper technique.


For me it was my initiation after studying to be a witch.  For obvious reasons I can't go into details but it was like being in the arms of a loving and caring mother that held no judgements against me.  It is difficult to fully describe the emotions, both physically, emotionally and spiritually that I experienced.

You cannot stop spam once it starts. The key is to never, ever, make your email address public. Do not join any group and have your address visible, as there are people out there who love to add you to their lists.\n\nI use more than one account. For instance, the one I use here is the one I used to have friends use, but after a couple of years, the junk mail got horrible, so I opened a new account and gave my personal friends that address. \n\nI have a few accounts. One I use for business, and only certain businesses get that address.\n\nAnother I use to join online forums and mailing lists.\n\nOne of my accounts gets a lot of spam, and fortunately, most goes directly into the bulk mailbox, which I do not look at. I imagine, in the future I will totally close one account once the spam filter gets overrun.\n\nsometimes the bad spam comes because an acquaintance gets mad and gives your email address to an unsavory site...\n\nOpen a new account or two and keep the addresses private!

According to Christian teachings, the wages of sin is death.\n\n\nThe Catholic teaching is that Mary was sinless.\n\n\nGiven the above, shouldn't Mary be alive today?

given the above, you probably give sunday school teachers a run for their money. if you actually read the bible, you'll notice alot of loopholes and contradictory statements. christians view these statements as a test of faith.


i was in my science class and my teacher told me that there could be pounds of undigestive food still stuck in your digestive system. im a high school wrestler so its important for me to keep my weight down, so cleaning it out could help me alot.

One hell of a crazy place. How else are we going to barter with 6.5 billion people in the world.


why is it that when you're dreaming you can feel things like it's actually happening?  Like a hug or an injury?

Normally, you are only aware of the thought processes in your conscious mind. You consciously think over the problems that are right in front of you, consciously choose words as you speak, consciously try to remember where you left your keys. \n\nBut in doing all these things, your conscious mind is working hand-in-hand with your subconscious mind, the unconscious part of your mind that does your "behind the scenes" thinking. Your subconscious mind accesses the vast reservoir of information that lets you solve problems, construct sentences or locate your keys. It puts together plans and ideas and runs them by your conscious mind. When a new idea comes to you out of the blue, it's because you already thought through the process unconsciously. \n\nYour subconscious also takes care of all the stuff you do automatically. You don't actively work through the steps of breathing minute to minute -- your subconscious mind does that. You don't think through every little thing you do while driving a car -- a lot of the small stuff is thought out in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious also processes the physical information your body receives. \n\nIn short, your subconscious mind is the real brains behind the operation -- it does most of your thinking, and it decides a lot of what you do. When you're awake, your conscious mind works to evaluate a lot of these thoughts, make decisions and put certain ideas into action. It also processes new information and relays it to the subconscious mind. But when you're asleep, the conscious mind gets out of the way, and your subconscious has free reign.

I am 5'2 and weigh 90 lbs. I eat all of the time, and I still do not gain any weight.

Don't change, I think skinny women are cute. At your height that sounds like a good weight to be at.\nbut if your serious about gaining weight. You must go on a pancake and bacon diet. There is no way you will not gain weight.

ok, there is this one guy who i like (a lot) and i think he likes me, but im not sure.. sometimes i catch him looking at me in school, but i dont know if that means that he likes me??? please help me on this one!!!!  ♥

You should instant message him (it's a lot easier than saying it to his face, where you might blush) and say- Hi. Um... I noticed you were staring at me the other day in math class (Or what ever class it was). I was just wondering if you liked me... It might be a stupid idea, but it has worked for me in the past!


ok,im a cheerleader & most of my friends are not snobby or sl*tty, every body thinks that cheerleading isnt a sport & that its so easy!but omg..its NOT! have you ever went home after practice in tears because EVERYTHING hurt so bad that you had to bathe in ice & that you couldnt even lay down in bed?have you ever thought that maybe the only reason werethink that theyre so bad b/c the guys like us & because you've never actually tried to get to know us?cheerleadin takes a lot of work and i love it because it pushes me..it uplifts people up by cheering them on saying..lets go team!your doing so great...even when theyre loosing.yall all think that we are horrible to nerds & geeks..but hey , what clique are you in?if your in except the nerds & geeks..you dont like them either!its not just us!i cant stand being mean to people & most cheerleaders are NOT AT ALL what they seem like in the movies. it takes a lot of dedication & pressure about what people think!please answer!why do u hate us???

what people do you know that hates cheerleaders really? other then the wannabees, You girls are loved dearly stop stressing about others and what they say do or think they have small brains.  focus on what you do, believe, and love. you are young now so this is to be expected lots of drama when you get older you will lol about it those people that you feel that hate don't even know nor will they about how hard all cheeleaders have to work to be the best you all can be, I say forget them and as mention keep on keeping on being the cheerleader that you are.


My vagina has a bad odour that I can smell with out bending down. It also has a slight discharge, it does not have any itch or sweeling or burning when I urinate.

you have a vaginal infection, not disease, you need to go to the doctor and get treated for that, because every time you have sex it will get worst


My son had a drug test 1 month ago and has to have another this week.  This will be 30 days.  Can it stay in your system longer than that even if you haven't been smoking it for 30 days?

THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) can stay in a person's body for as long as 3 to 90 days after smoking or being ingested orally.\nThere are numerous determining factors for how long drug toxins stay in a persons body which vary from person to person, such as the analytical\nmethod used, your health, your body weight, metabolism, fluid intake, the type of drug toxin, and the degree of exposure to the drug toxin.\n\nDelta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, one of nearly 400 chemicals in a cannabis plant, accounts for most of marijuana's psychoactive, or mind-altering, effects. The strength of the drug is determined by the amount of THC it contains which varies from plant to plant. Marijuana stays in your system for different amounts of time depending on how often you smoke it, how much you smoke, and the makeup of the individual (weight/height/etc.).


I have more than 20 kidney stones over the last 3 years. All Dr's say is "drink water" the only pain control seems to be morphine and percoset, which leaves you feeling tired, groggy and sick. I would love a way to help the pain without the use of a narcotic and way to prevent stones from forming.

If you've had that many kidney stones your doctor should have recommended a ultra sound bath.  They put you in a tub of water and have ultra sound waves going through it breaking apart the stones.  It does not hurt.  See if a hospital in your area has one of the machines so that you can arrange to be treated in it.  In the meantime, yes, drink plenty of water but keep away from tea and colas.


What is the feeling after the hottest night

I'm getting ready to name my new album of my orginal acoustic/pop songs, but am having trouble picking a title. Here are the three choices:\n\n"Another Kind of Fire"\n"Hollywood Ending"\n"The Faintest Spark\n\nAny thoughts/advice are welcome! Maybe rank them from favorite to least favorite?\nThanks so much for your help!

I recommend your choice for Another Kind of Fire.  It brings one to interest and is eye catching.  It sings! (the tone of the title is like music). A variation of this might be A Special Kind of Fire.  Or use of the word Flame instead of Fire.  or even this ALTERNATIVE FIRE! However, your initial choice works very well.\n\nHollywood Ending, sound more like a newspaper headline or a movie title.\n\nThe Faintest Spark is good, if it reflects a special series or the high light song then it may be a good choice.\n\nRemember a title must catch and hold their attention and make them curious.  If it does not grab them they are unlikely to buy.  It needs to be easy to remember so that word-of-mouth or other advertising will help them remember the title.\n\nSuccess to you.


What type of courses would you like to take in a career such as this? What would you look for before moving to Guatemala to study? I'm doing research for school work.

People don't realize that the goverment doesn't care if it's unethical. They care about money. Do people have any idea how much money the government makes off people with diseases like cancer, diabetes, AIDS, and paralysis. If they cured those diseases, where will they get their money from. Abortion is still legal, and that is killing not only a cell, but a baby, and what good does abortion do for society, it helps lazy a*s people who would rather kill a child than raise one, and bringsin money to the government. People have to start realizing what the world is really like, they have to realize that as long as they can get our money, the government could care less if we died.

Stem cell research is NOT illegal. \nIt is just not AS WELL sponsored by the government as it can be.\nGovernment only sponsors research on the already existing cell lines. In fact Federal government spent $607 last year on funding stem cell research.[1]\n\nIN addition, private Companies like Merck, or Pfizer and private Universities are free to do their OWN research with any kind of cells they like.

new slogan (TIRED OF HIGH GAS PRICES THANK A LIBERAL).boy would the screaming be loud,when will gas companys start to defend themselves,with the truth about gas prices.damm i forgot liberal media wont allow that to make the news.

What are you talking about?\n\nGas prices are high because the world (specificly the USA) haven't been researching or building an alternative fuel source infrastructure. Our politicians, both Rep & Dems are bought and paid for by the oil companies, the wealthiest lobby there is.\n\nWhat has that got to do with partisan politics? Have you been asleep?

I lost my husband last year and I have now been seeing someone for 3 months.  I love him dearly and when we are together the sparks are flying.  All our friends think that we are a great couple.  However, he says he wants to be friends and does not want to spoil that by crossing the line i.e. having sex.  We spend at least 2 nights a week at my house and he sleeps over in my bed, but never seems to want sex.  Yes there are cuddles and the odd peck, but nothing else.  Am I wasting my time in being the best friend he ever had i.e. listening and caring 24/7?  He does not do the same for me as he is always busy and I understand that.  Why do I feel that I am wasting my time and yet when I see him I get all silly.  Every time I go out into our local I think NO I will not take him home, but I still do it.  I have never been friends with someone and then had sex, it was always the other way around.  Any suggestions on how I can let him know that if he does not use me he will loose me.

Accept the friendship and hope it grows.  Don't force it or you will drive him away.  If you really care for him, you will be okay with just being his friend as long as he is happy.  It may hurt but, if you love and care for him, you want what is best for him = not you.

If it is the heat source, how does the missle know which heat source to go after if there are 3-4 fighter aircraft flying together?\n\nAlso, how does the aircraft realise that a missle has a lock on it?

Missiles use passive IR/UV sensors. The missiles look for the infrared light (heat) produced by the target airplane's engines and track the airplane by following that light. The missiles also identify the UV "shadow" of the target and use that identification to distinguish the target from other heat-producing objects.\n\nIf you have read about motion detectors, you know that motion-sensing lights use passive infrared sensors. The sensors in a motion-sensing light are tuned to the temperature of a human being. They look out at the world, and when they see a sudden change in the amount of infrared light they are sensing, they assume it's because a person walked into the area, and they turn on the light.\n\nA motion-sensing light needs only one sensor. A Stinger missile needs a whole array of them, because its job is to track the target while it is flying. The nose of a Stinger missile has, essentially, an infrared digital camera in it. This camera might have an array of anything from 2x2 (in older designs) to 128x128 (in the newest Sidewinder design) infrared sensors that receive an infrared image of the scene. When the soldier gets ready to launch the missile, the missile must have the target visible in roughly the center of this sensor.\n\nWhile the missile is flying, the image of the airplane that it is trying to hit may become off-center on the image sensor. When it does, that tells the missile that it is off-course, and the guidance system in the missile has to decide how to get back on course. This is where proportional navigation comes in. The missile looks at the angle of off-centeredness and changes its angle of flight proportionally. In other words, it uses a multiplier. If the multiplier is 2, then if the guidance system thinks it is 10 degrees off course, it will change its flight direction by 20 degrees. Then, a tenth of a second later it will look at the angle again, and change again. By over-correcting this way, it lets the missile anticipate the path of the moving plane in the same way that you anticipate the path of a moving object. If you are a quarterback trying to throw a ball to a receiver running across the field, you would not throw the ball toward where the receiver is -- you would throw it toward where he will be when the ball arrives.\n\nObviously, the guidance system is more involved than this. The image sensor is riding on a rotating, gyrating missile at Mach 2, and it is trying to hit a small target that may be flying at Mach 1. It is not a simple problem. But this is the general idea.


but in american sports its only american teams...how is it a world seris then?

All fish are cartilagenous animals, hence are able to float in water. If a Shark is not cartilagenous, how does it present itself from sinking in water?

Not all fish are cartilagenous; for example a trout or a tunafish are called bony fishes because they have bones like us. Sharks and their kind are cartilagenous fishes. Bony fishes use their swim bladders (organs filled with a mixture of gases) to float; while cartilagenous fishes accumulate urea (which is less dense than water) in their tissues. This way, they solve the problem of excretion at the same time they acquire buoyancy.


...before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?

NASA came up with the idea of wheeled luggage back around 1967, but needed to test it in the weightlessness of space before it could be approved by the FDA and the EPA for consumer use. It was a big hit on the moon. In fact it was Buzz Aldrin who said " One small wheel for luggage, One giant wheel for airline travel" which didn't make the news as much as Neil Armstrong's famous quote. A real shame, cuz Buzz was really the clever one in the group. Anyway, when they got back, wheeled luggage became all the rage.

Yeah that was definitely one of the best pitching performances this year for the stros. I thought the three pitch ninth helped out alot too. He only threw like 102 pitches I think.


This is a question that I have to answer for my science class on tuesday, and I have tried looking for answers everywhere, but havent found any.. PLEASE HELPPP!!!!!! :(

Most life on Earth is powered by the Sun. Plants use Photosynthesis to make carbohydrates from the Sun. Animals eat Plants, we eat both plants and animals that eat plants. Therefore indirectly virtually all of our food energy comes from the Sun. Our Brain uses our food energy to operate. Therefore our brain is powered by the Sun.


i read that and am not sure whether to believe it.

it is true...very strange but true...strange creatures we are.


Do you beleive in ghosts?   \n\nHave any cool ghost stories? or like experienced any went somewhere haunted.. no someone who has had experience.. please explain lol

hell yeah! I was at a friends place (this was when i was a kid) and suddenly all the kitchen cupboard dooors were slamming open and shut.. and the weird thing is that the house was closed up... so no wind inside.. explain that one.


i have trained like crazy for a month now but when i spar i fell like i only put 20% of my power into it.  When i fight theres a weird felling in my body that doesnt let me take out my full power( i fell ver slow like a sloth and dont want to spar)

Its quite good that you hold back the way you do. most students have a natural tendency to put all they got in there sparrign lessons, and end up hurting them selve or others. you though have three problems when it comes to fighting. first and for most, you are much too tight. practice your moves and shadow box, loosen your body phsyically. second your too tight, this time its in your mind. your worried either about hurting the other person or your self (which is good) you should never use your full energy while sparring (sparring is simply an entry drill that gets you over the intial fear of fighting and teaches how to evade and strike back). but to put more power into your techniques you must shed the fear of injury. and the third thing is that you are simplly unexperianced. it takes years for a person to get comfortable with his or her body and the techniques that have been taught to them to fight well, and thats just well. so there.


where can I find the seasons of the Real Adventures of Jonny Quest? I have looked but cant see anywhere where they sell it.


What do i need to do to get into a grad school in the UK, i attend college in the states

Different universities & disciplines will have different requirements. For instance, if you wish to study business, you will likely need to take the GMAT exam. I'm doing law, where the application process was fairly easy: fill in form, 3 academic references, & 2,000 word essay. I'm sure you will have some visa requirements coming from the States which you'll need to check out with your embassy & the university. \n\nBy the way, the UK isn't like the US in only offering e.g. medecine & law at grad school: one does them as undergrad. If you wish to do a grad degree, e.g. masters/phd etc: then you would apply direct to university. However, if it is undergrad degree, then be aware that UK has a central applications process, called UCAS through which most students will apply. I'm not sure if you would do so also given that you haven't come through UK secondary school system.


i've been talkin to this guy for 9 months and we really love each other, but i just started going out with him and i want to have sex with him and i don't know if it the right thing but i really do want to do it and so does he.

Only you can tell when its the right time for you to have sex.  Everyone has their own views on what sex is all about, love, pleasure, only in relationships or not in them at all.  it depends on what you want out of the situation, unfortunately, you have to figure this one out yourself.


what are the criteria to involved in this course???what type of person can take this course?? i need a guidelines whether this may be my best choice i ever take for my future..


They r all my best friends!bt they always say tat what i hv done is wrong ! y ? They don trust me or....\nI don hope tat they will praise me ,but y they always want 2 slap me de ! I really want 2 cry when i heard they said like tat !

Dear Sally,\n\nFriends do not bully friends, especially best friends.  You need to work on your self esteem and find new friends and let new people (nice ones) get to know you.  You certainly deserve better than that.  Friends are supposed to bring out the best out of us not to make us sad.\n\nI heard that no one deserves your tears and the ones who would deserve your tears would never want to make you cry because they love you too much.\n\nGood luck!  Big hugs


I've seen a lot of answerers saying "you people have no idea".  Educate us...

immigrants who are for it are going to walk out of thier jobs, immigrants are not going to go to school and not buy anything. They want to see, what happens if those people are not in the states and to see the impact on US economy.


Do you think that the Senate Immigration Bill (S.2611) will become law this year?\n\nYes or No\n\nIf Yes, explain why.\nIf No, explain why. \n\nPlease be real with your answer.

I am not sure what 'it becoming law' means. Something may pass, but whether it is a changed Senate Bill or a changed House Bill, and what those changes may be, I don't know. It is also about a 50/50 chance, as I understand it, that the Senate and House may not be able to agree on a Joint Bill enough that anything comes out of conference.


Does London still follow any of society rules such as what is written in the historical romances?

Who will win the Eastern Conference Finals: Detroit or Miami? Why?

Before the NBA season began, I predicted that the Pistons would win their third Easten Conference Championshp in a row. Today, I have a feeling that the Miami Heat will win the NBA Eastern Conference Championship in six games on their home court in Miami.

I was dating this girl for about 4 months, when she told me about a friend of hers who was divorving her husband, and was taking him "to the cleaners."  I asked her if she thought it was fair that she was going for the gold, and she said "well, he was a jerk."\n\nSo I dumped her, right then and there.  I told her if she thought it was OK to clean out some guy's bank account because he was a "jerk" why would I want to go any further with her?\n\nDo you think I was wrong?

Wow.  Now that is a good story.  Not only did you do the right thing, you should run for freakin President.  \n\nFor your reward, you get... the rest of your life off from worrying about being taken to the cleaners by some greedy c*nt!\n\nAnd - a word to "IllusiveMe": girls do not put up with JACK SQUAT.  The SECOND a girl isn't getting her way, she demonizes the man, treats him like utter crap, abandons him, and never even bothers to justify her actions.  You think women put up with crap?  Women can't even take their OWN crap without wrapping it up in some kind of perfumed lie.

Sometime ago, when "Stan" by Emiem was popular, I downloaded a song that started off with the "Stan" beat but with a guy unknown to me saying that song wasn't made for Emiemiem or wasn't orginaly made for Stan and he started rapping  or rapping and one of the lyrics was I think "I think my father loved my sister more then me." but had the extended lyrics of Dido from Thank You as the chrous.

When A-Rod signed with the texas rangers, i know a mock of stan was made about A-Rod, but thats all i can think of


Because the mitochondra from the male sperm, which contains its own DNA, does not enter and become part of a fertilized egg, everybody pretty much has the same mitochondrial DNA which can only come from the female.  Evolutionary scientists have used this fact and traced the origins of man to a woman named Eve that lived in Africa some 10,000 years ago.  This is old news.\n\nMy question is whether Apes, the alleged human ancestor, also have this same exact mitochondrial DNA?  I'm not trying to start an argument, I just want to know.

Many people have misunderstood the significance of mitochondrial Eve. Dr. Allan Wilson and his team compared mDNA in living people of different racial backgrounds and concluded that all modern humans evolved from one ‘lucky mother’ in Africa about 200,000 years ago (not 10,000 years ago). Researchers named this woman 'Eve' because she sat at one evolutionary bottleneck for humans, but her real name certainly not Eve and there were probably many other “Eves” – at other evolutionary bottlenecks. However, using that name became quite a news event and researchers capitalized on this fact to acquire more funding. The lucky mother's existence, as well as all of the 'unlucky mothers' who's lines did not survive represent strong evidence in support of biological evolution, an ancient earth, and all things scientific (btw - the ape has never been and is not now considered a human ancestor).  \n\nTo answer your question, the mitochondria in any animal population are the same but not exactly that same. Ape populations have the same mitochondria as humans but there is divergence – evolutionary distance. Just as our DNA sequence is the same (with variation) the mDNA sequence is the same but has variations. You should realize researchers are only measuring a small piece of the mDNA on a portion of the molecule where they expect al lot of variation – nobody has looked at the entire sequence – even more differences would emerge in that case.\n\nOn another note, the mitochondria you mention represent another line evolutionary evidence. Dr. Lynn Margulis has advanced the theory of endosymbiosis that explains the mysteries of mitochondrial DNA. Mitochondria were assimilated in eukaryote cells who knows how long ago and selective forces have shaped them into an amazing tool now used to trace evolutionary patterns. This technique is still in its infancy and we can expect to see groundbreaking work as evidence accumulates and more genes are included into the analysis.\n\nConcerning my statement - \n"The ape has never been and is not now considered a human ancestor." Once upon a time 5 or 10 million years ago (or more), in the rift valleys of Africa, there were bipedal animals that did not live in trees - they weren't monkeys or apes or baboons or chimps but they walked on 2 legs. Modern people would call them ape-like but they weren't apes (apes didn't yet exist) and they weren't humans. There's nothing like them now, they've gone extinct, but they were the common ancestor of humans and the great apes. The populations of that common ancestor diverged genetically. One part of the population, after millions of years, give rise to the modern great apes; herbivores that live in the deep forests. Most of the ape species that derived from this population are now extinct. Eventually our common ancestors died out completely, but not before part of their population, after millions of years and a few genetic bottlenecks, left Africa and migrated throughout the old world. They were omnivores and lived more in the open. As they migrated, they continued to change. They met other populations that had also left Africa and they mixed, sharing genes, changing through the millenia. Some of them, eventually became us, most of them died out. So apes are not our ancestors but we do share a common ancestor; apes have diverged as much as we have from that original group but along a very different path.


After looking for a entire day, he finds, deep in the woods, a huge, black bear. He then grabs his riffle, aims and shoots. Seconds later someone touches his shoulder. Looking back, there is the bear, reallly pissed. The bear grabs him, bends him over and starts pounding his butt. Nervous the guy goes home thinking that this is one pain in the a** bear and he needs better equipment. The next day he goes in the same place with a brand new rifle tu revenge. There, the same story: misses and the bear takes him. After repeating the same story a few more times, the man comes one day with the latest hunting equipment, tracking systems, and big guns with homing devices. Now he was sure that he would get that bear. After looking for a while tracks down the bear. The man prepares his super gun, aims then fires.  Looking back, he sees the big bear sitting there and saying: " I'm begining to suspect you are not coming here for the hunt"...

I am taking into account what he has done "in retirement" as well as in office as compared to his contemporaries.

I would say so, Jimmy Carter has been called upon several time to act as minister for foreign affairs. America is lucky to have had him as a President. This guy above me is wrong again. President Ford gave Iran the Nuclear technology they have right now. Iran isn't a treat to America anyway, and nobody is listening to the warmongering Republicans on the Iran Issue anyway.

Who else along with me likes Tyra Banks and/or Tyra Show? I think Tyra Banks is HOT! Do you and if your a girl do you think she's pretty? I think she looks GREAT for a 30 year old and she seems really nice! =)

i LOVE america's next top model....i LIKE Tyra Banks...she pretty (has NICE eyes 2) but her TV show is abit 2 fake 4 me...i mean shes ALWAYS smiling on it, like she HAS 2...and she crys at the wrong time sometimes...and she TRIES 2 keep it real...i mean SHE DOES but its a bit 2 much so it makes it seem like she trying 2 hard. and she criticizes 2 much on her show, like when Karrine Stephan (author of "confessions of a video vixen") came 2 her show she was criticising the poor girl and she looked like she wanted 2 cry, and its ALWAYS about her mama on that show...i understand that without her she would be NOTHING....but EVERYTHING...EVERY SUBJECT somehow, some way GOES BACK 2 her talking about her mom...and WORSE...she GOTTA bring her out which wastes time....like ITS NOT NEEDED but Tyra seems like a WHOLE different person on AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL....i dunno WHY...but she seems more CALM (maybe cuz we see LESS of her on it) and abit real...like she's not trying. OVERALL...shes just a different person that TRYS 2 represent 4 our black women but she's taking it OVERBOARD...like she just got arrested like last week cause she was talking TRASH on her show or something.

Its not always an good idea to download too many active x scripts. If you go to top of web page tools manage ad-dons and disable all that don't look right, an good start is too keep Microsoft and other apps you know.

Should you try to measure up to whatever other people think success is? Are you nothing if you don't succeed in others' eyes? Should you care about what other's think if you don't succeed or even if you do succeed? What is success in the U.S.? What is success in other countries? Answer any one of these questions, or all of them...it doesn't matter...

i think success is doing what you like to do and being able to support yourself on it. i make a living doing my favorite thing, playing music. (technically, thats my second favorite thing to do, lol). i teach guitar lessons, and play in a band and do recordings. i'm not looking to be rich, though i dont think i'd turn it down. i just want to be able to pay my mortgage and take care of my girlfriend as best i can by doing what i like to do. (and she's doing really well, it wouldnt surprise me if she makes more than i do in a few years.)

lousy credit, am workining but at a third of original income

Contact the institution you have your loan through, and let them know you are under hardship.\n\nThen start looking for another $20 job as fast as you can.\n\nDepending on how many years you have already paid into the loan you MAY beable to refinance it.  Call a local mortgage broker and see how they can help.  Consultation is free.\n\nSometimes our credit isn't as bad as we think it it, sometimes it is worse.  But there should be help.  A good mortgage broker or financial officer can help.


I am having trouble watching my sister-in-law hurt from going from one relationship to another.How can i be there for her without judging her and being too bold about her lifestyle?

Just letting her know that your there for her will be a comfort. there's not much else you can do.


I am 13, 5'8, and 122 pounds. Am I fat? I try eat right, and I exercise more than needed. I don't want to go to starving myself, but I want to lose a little weight if I am fat. Am I fat?

You actually should consider gaining a bit of weight, you are very thin for your height. Don't let dang TV and magazine ads get to you and become anorexic, for pete sake how can you even ask a question like this with your weight? Don't you have a mirror? It concerns me that you even asked this question to begin with. If you seriously think you are fat talk to your parents or counselor please. If you were looking for compliments get a life.

What do you think about Tony Soprano played by James Gandolfini.??\n\n*I for one cant get enough of james

He is fantastic. So believable. I just read that he spent a whole day visiting  wounded soldiers at a VA hospital. He had a full beard!!\n\nThe show is wonderful. You never know what will happen next. I wonder if they will kill Tony off at the end. And how about his punk son, AJ? What a piece of work he is.


do you think it is right that my assistant manager decide without consulting me, to start telling my 25 staff members some whom i have worked with for over 3 years that i was leaving the company without my permission? She was told not to dicuss it with anyone. But i come back from my two days off and my girls all know... I am pissed off, do i have the right??

If you are the manager and she is only the assistant, you should make firing her your last official act.

First, Linux is not "licence free" as you state [1]. Second, this type of software has been around for over a decade, and so far hasn't had the sweeping changes everyone thought.  Firefox is one noteworthy exception of widespread adoption of open-source software.  People hoped open-source software will drive prices down, but this doesn't seem to be happening so far.  There is still a struggle, but widespread Linux use still seems like an elusive goal.  You can find a lot of the debate if you go to a linux forum, which you can find on google.


But when this stupid book comes that brings so terrible offence to God, everybody praises it!! How is that possible in a world where majority are christians??? Or call themselves christians!!

christianity is based on the teachings of christ ,christ sacrificed his life demonstration his conviction and faith in tolerance,forgivenes and peace and this question demonstrates that you have accepted negativity or satans anger in your heart and tit for tat is not christian like behavior also.if you read the book and understand the context it is to be taken in ,then you have nothing to fear this book is not attacking your beliefs,it is fiction,not real and it is an expression of art you may not appreciate however you are no better by condemning others and personalizing and harboring negativity and your last two battle cries for angry christians are scary and the reason alot of people turn atheist or are afraid of the christian terrorists,no one can take anyone else who does not practice what they preach seriosly,and  seriously,selfrighteous hatred or intolerance only promotes more of the same ineffective communication  barriers and ruins the speakers credibility and tends to make some question intelligence which is unfair but a reality that does exist.\nif you want others to respect your religion then you must respect their values or individuals with different vales and model the behavior you expect from others,this does not mean you must not have personal objections to this for yourself and you can tell yourself this misguided fool is going to hell and pray for their soul without spreading hateful intolerance and inciting hatred for all christians or religions by refraining from telling this person they atre going tohell and protesting because they do not share your views and its not fair some other group was treated differently


got more than 5 years of working experiences

You absolutely can. In fact, there are a surprising number of "older" students in art schools in the US. Often, people go into what they thought was a practical career, work in that for a few years...but they always wanted to study art. Eventually, they quit their practical job and go to art school to pursue their dream.\n\nIn order to get into most visual communication programs, you will need a portfolio of your artwork. Most university websites list exactly what you need. \n\nAre you in the US or Canada? Art schools here sponsor events, called "Portfolio Days", where you can bring your portfolio and show it to admissions representatives from hundreds of schools, all in one day. Those reps will give you advice on what you need to do to your portfolio to allow you entry into their program. If you are outside the US and Canada, you may be able to arrange a portfolio review meeting with someone from your local art school, simply as a way to get some feedback on your work. \n\nIf you don't have a portfolio, get started on one now. If you need to, take an art class - basic drawing is best, as is life drawing. And read university websites on what sorts of work they want to see in your portfolio.


The ability to use; how you can use your resources to make a choice or decision.


Something not complicated and easy to fire.

Depends on what you want it for.  \nTarget shooting I would just get a .22 Walther\nCarrying I have an Springfield XD-9mm is easy to use, easy to clean.\n\nI would NOT carry anything under a 9mm or a .38 caliber.  I have read to many stories of women unloading a .25 into a guy and it didn't stop them\n\nPersonally, I carry a .45 1911 A-1.  Once a person gets used to the recoil, even women, it's very manageable.\n\nGlocks aren't easy to tear down, and have a really weird recoil.  I had a Glock hated then I got the XD it works better for me.  The best thing to do is go to a range that rents weapons and see what you like


I'm looking for EXTERNAL DVD burners for my laptop.  Do you know of any that is low in price?  What is the typical price these burners?

She was on t.v. today. I think she is fantastic and dead on accurate with most of her psychic predictions. Most christians believe psycics are demonic, and the info doesn't come from God. But in fact, she CREDITS God, and practices Gnosticism, wich believes in the teachings of Jesus.\n\nNow I am a christian, but I would completley believe what she says, and think she must get it from a reliable source, so why not God. What do you all think?

I have already been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, GERD, and severe lactose intolerence. Now i'm having another problem, i'm constantly constipated, bloated, and I only have to pee about 5 times a day. I know i'm getting enough liquids! And i've been tested for IBS and Crohn's disease, but I have neither. Does anyone have a solution or any idea on what might be wrong? Also, i'm 16...5'3 1/2 and 90 pounds. As far as diet goes - i eat strictly fruits, veggies, and nuts. Anything else makes me feel ick. I have tried everything to cure the constipation - fiber, prunes, applejuice, stool softeners, you name it and i've tried it. Even laxatives don't work. Help!?!?

Nuts can be part of the cause to the constipation. so i've heard. Laxatives dont ever work for me either.  I've takin like 4 before at the same time and it still didnt work... try to cut down on something that might be making the constipation happen.


I have a collection of dragons that don't look evil and I think they are lovely but some people have told me they are evil. I think they stand for the spirit that no one can break. Also deep and mysterious, what do you think?

Dragons have been depicted throughout history as guardians, messengers, destroyers, and the embodiment of Christian evil. None of that really matters in the 21st century.\n\nDepending upon what specific dragon(s) your collection represents, they could be either...or none. \n\nYour dragon art, in itself, is not evil...any more than a framed print of Gustave Dore's work from The Divine Comedy would be evil.\n\nPeople that look at a piece of art and declare it is evil really need to relax and keep their opinions to themselves.


He's outgoing and has a lot of friends. I have many friends but not as much as him and he flirts with many other girls. What are some things we can talk about?

My fiance and I always fight, and its things that I have nocontrol over. She rarley tells me she loves me anymore, and isnt lovey dovey anymore either. I love her so much and do so much for her. Now she isnt talking to me over soething that wasnt my fault again, we are going on two days now without talking. If she doesnt love me anymore, or want to be with me anymore, than why doesnt she leave or stop wearing the engagment ring?

bc some people stay with a person even though they dont love them anymore ,, bc of financial reasons children or waiting untill the person they are seeing decids they wont to be with them so i would say she wont be with you to much longer.
