but when the Steelers have been consistantly good for many many many years, everyone drops them like a hot potato?

Because the Steelers always lose in the championship game, if not earlier. This is the first time that the Bungals have won the AFC North in a while. But they are ready to show that Palmer and Johnson(and everybody else) will not crack under the pressure in thier 1st playoff game. But they will lose to the Steelers in the 1st round.


I work in an adult shop, and I sometimes get questions that are rude and disgusting, how do I handle that with out being red faced, or rude back?

If you work at an "adult shop" you are going to deal with more than your share of weirdos. Stony silence is often the best answer to an inappropriate question.


I just purchased a used computer and had them remove the partition on the hard drive prior to taking it home. When I start the computer it gives me two options (two Windows XP's) and asks which operating system I would like to use. It gives 20 seconds to choose or it chooses for you. Everything works well enough, but I am concerned. Is this indicative of a larger problem and how do I get it to stop?

Click Start, then choose Run.  Enter 'msconfig' without the quotes at the prompt, and the System Configuration Utility will boot.  The tabs allow you to control startup options, boot programs and edit various system config files.  Just set the timer to 0 and you won't get a wait during startup.  Also try pressing Windows key and Pause/Break.  Then choose Advanced, System Startup.


Yes i have a compaq computer. It works fine for everything i use it for which is not really much. Internet games , chatting and some other computer games.


This has been happening since High school and I'm wondering why do they have to grab my butt all the time?


tell me, how odd is it to see a black chic who is big on punk rock; dresses the part,hairstyle is punkish,makeup is like so? is it odd,replusive or wat? is it like seeing a white dude with grillz in his teeth, jersey,braided hair and a mic rapping?

I think it's cool to see a black punk. FiFi Dobson is a bit annoying though...Other than her, there needs to be more. Eminem made it into the black world, why can't a black make it into the white world? We need more meshing of colors..makes pretty kids!


Anyone know, the skin is turning whitish like its dry....

The cold weather and low humidity causes skin to dry easier.  Use some lotion.

Such as baby boomers, generation X, net generation.

Each of these have been named by events really, not people.\n\nBaby boomers - children born between 1950 to 1960, give or take a year or two, when there was a huge upsurge in births.\n\nGen X - Well, no event really, which is how they got tagged with the universal variable X\n\nNet generation - of course, the children raised with the net.  Used to be the Y generation until it became obvious how influential the net was.  \n\nSo, a social conscensus based on defining events.


"KABHI TO EK HI MULAKAT KAFI HOTI HAI,PAR KABHI BAHOT SI MULAKATEN LAG JAATI HAIN"\ncome on it's very easy

Hum Tum??\n\nI've never seen it, and only speak a little Hindi, so I haven't got a clue what it means. In the end I googled it : )\n\nActually, my wife's from Bombay (I'm a Gora english dude) and she's even guessing that it means something like "One difference may seem like a lot, but if you have enough its pretty cool".

Should I use DVD-R, external harddrives ... what will secure my photos 20 years from now when I want to look at photos of my kids growing up ?

Here are some thoughts:\n\n1. Hard drives have a MTBF (Mean Time Before Failure) bascially this means that they will fail within a certain time or at least produce bad sectors making some of your data unrecoverable(ish). One way to try to protect data on your PC is to have a RAIDED system that means 2 or more identical drives and hardware or software replicates the software across each drive so if one drive goes down you still have your data. This does not help if the PC goes on fire or gets water damaged, you should always have a seperate backup procedure.\n\n2. DVD's are a good way of backing up your data and I would say are a more reliable way of backing up rather than Hard disks but they are limited to 4.7GB (single sided). What I do is burn a backup every week or whenever I do a big change of data but this is dependant on the old saying "What happens if your Hard Disk died in 5 minutes would you miss any data on it" if yes do a daily Backup. 99% of IT companies only backup there data every day so backing up every few hours is a bit extreme but again if it is critical do a backup. Buy quality DVD's!\n\n3. USB memory sticks are pretty tough bits of kit and you can give them quite a bit of grief before they fail, USB sticks use memory chips rather than magnetic media like hard disks and tend to be a little bit more robust. They can get corrupted just like any other device.\n\n4. Zip disks are a bit old hat and have the same problem as floppy disks avoid avoid avoid! Trust me I have used them and relied too much on them and lost data cos of it.\n\n5. Tape backups (DDS3/4/DAT72) have a good capacity and alot of IT companies use this type of backup but again they are suseptable to corruption similar to floppy disks if kept for any length of time as they are magnetic media, expensive to maintain.\n\n6. SD/MMC cards are similar technology to USB memory sticks as they store the data on a chip(s) but do not normally have the capacity to store alot of data (1GB?) and are very easily lost/broken as they are so small.\n\n7. Online backups are an option but most are insecure and do you want people to have access to your data/photos etc. hmmmm\n\nI suppose there is no 100% safe way of backing up your data (and keeping it safe) but I have found DVD's to be pretty good (using quality DVD's with dark ink), I use DVD-RW as my data changes alot and there is no point in me keeping the old stuff but buy high quality DVD's as cheap and nasty DVD's tend to develop problems later in life.\nI have seen alot of testing done on USB sticks and they have been found to be very tough to break.\n\nIf you are serious about the data you can buy a small fire proof safe as well.\n\nJust my opinon and experience!


Imagine you have a drainage network of rivers, tributaries, and streams.  Now imagine one particular path of drainage, from head waters to delta.  If somehow (erosion, for example) somewhere along this path the water found a new shortcut to another part of the drainge system, then that water would have been "autocaptured".\n\nGet out a map of Illinois and the surrounding area.  The Illinos Waterway goes from Lake Michigan at Chicago to the Mississippi river at St. Louis.  The Mississipi river flows along the western border of Illinois.  Now look at the area between LaSalle, Ill. (on the Waterway) and Davenport, Iowa (by the Mississippi).  There is a set of streams in this area.  If they managed to link together and cause the Mississippi to be diverted near Davenport to LaSalle, then the Illinois Waterway would have captured the Mississippi.  Since these are part of the same drainage system, it would be called an autocapture.\n\nThe link below may explain better with illustrations. Look at pages 9 and 10:


Ok here is a try.  A guy told me this the other day...\n\nThese 3 pastors enjoyed going around to elderly people's homes and sharing religous inspirations with them.  They felt they had to do this, as a lot of old folks couldn't make it out of the house.\n\nOne day the 3 pastors stopped by an elderly woman's house.  She was really excited to see them, as she doesn't get any visitors except for her son who drops off groceries once a week.\n\nShe invited the pastors in and welcomed them to sit in her living room.  The pastors began reading versus to her and did their usual thing.\n\nOne of the pastors spotted a bowl of peanuts on the table and began eating them.  As time went on and they spoke with the lady about religion, an hour had passed in no time.  The pastor eating the peanuts realized that he had nearly finished off the entire bowl.  The pastor was embarrased as he could tell the elderly lady didn't have much money and probably had a hard time affording food.\n\nThe pastor apologized to the lady for eating nearly her whole bowl of peanuts.  He assured her, he would replace them the next day.\n\nThe elderly lady replied "Don't worry about it, since I lost my teeth years ago...I haven't been able to eat chocolate covered peanuts.  I only suck the chocolate off of them!"


A bigger woman has feelings just like a smaller woman does..She wants love just like any other female..but some men look at bigger women like they have some kind of disease...Just give us a chance..ok??

Im a bbw myself, and it can be hard sometimes finding the right guy. Eventually though, you'll find your match. just be confident and proud of who you are and that will reflect to others.


i mean some worthwile reason....don't give me that "it gives us all a voice and that's something the constitution...yadda...yadda...yadda..."

Blogs are full of crap. Who the hell wants to read about what people do all day.


well...do you think tht there is another planet like earth in another galaxy...like there is like...a clone of earth...people act the same way, talk the same way, and have the same things? me nd my friend were wondering bout this...

I once read a theory that the universe is so big, that there's a chance that not only is there another earth somewhere, but there's probably so many that there's bound to be one exactly like ours.  The universe is huge beyond our present ability to comprehend, and it would be highly ignorant to think that with all the building blocks of life floating around out there that life doesn't exist somewhere else.  Whether we ever find it or not is another question.


should be given a male or female name.\nWhat happens if two different contries name the same storm with two different names.?

There is a universal list in place that contains 21 names that are reused every six to seven years. Hurricanes that cause a lot of devastation are usually retired and replaced with another name from the corresponding location in the alphabet.\n\nThe link below provides a complete list of hurricane names for the entire world, and you can read more about how the hurricanes got their names. It's a pretty interesting read.


it is black.\nthe front says:\n5 dolls\nthe back says:\nUnited States of America CAL

that is not enough data. as far as I know all 5$ coins were gold but not sure. I have tons of coin books and will help you if someone doesn't come up with a solution here;;;


Here is a website I think might help.  Just type in the person's name, the state they are in and zip code (if you know it):\nhttp://www.whitepages.com/\n\nGood luck


I've been married nearly 20 years and have a great marriage but want to make it even better. What are some practical things you recommend that would make you feel special?

It may be crazy, but the answer (in my opinion) is affection.  When we're out somewhere, my husband will put his hand on my back.  At home, he walks up and rubs my shoulders or runs his hands over my hair.  When we're driving, still, after 8 years together (6 married), he still holds the wheel with one hand, and keeps the other one on my knee, or holds my hand.  That's ALL that it takes for me to know that I'm the special woman in his life.

He doesn't respect me, he doesn't want to get to know me further.  It's over, but he will probably call and I'm worried about my weakness towards him.  How do I build up the strength to hold onto my dignity?  I seriously do not want to be a bootycall.

u gotta get ova that shit. it's really symple though. don't pick up the phone. go out have so fun and don't worry about a man that don't really like u. if u let a man know that he has control over ur life and he can do whatever he wants to do he will do it. he probally really wants to be wit u but he knows that he can still get wit u and get wit any other girl he wants with no remorce he'll do it. this is commin from a man. but i can't lie to u i would do the same thang if i knew i could get away with it. man u and show him that u ain't gonna take his shit. don't ask him to respect u, make him respect u. if u wanna talk to me more on the subject or need any advise u can e-mail me at cahamilton04@yahoo.com


What is the logic of having taxpayers who have no children subsidize (through tax code exemptions) the parents of many children?  And why should a homeowner who has no children have to pay inordinate real estate taxes to pay for the education of these large families?  If someone wants to have many children, then why should they not be responsible for the burden of educating them?

Parents are not the people who benefit when a child is educated.\n\nThe children in school today will be the employees of tomorrow.  Employees who can write well, solve problems and in general think well are assets any business should be grateful for.\n\nSome of the children in school today will be the doctors, lawyers, politicians and other skilled professionals, taking care of our bodies, our rights, our money and ourselves.  I don't know about you, but I want the best to be available, not just that small percentage that could afford a private school.  \n\nSome of the children of today will become scientists, researchers and innovaters.  It is most likely that the person who discovers a cure for cancer, the person who finds a pollution free energy source, the person who makes the next leap in human knowledge, and the person who makes the next innovation in technology will have been publicly educated.\n\nMost importantly of all, the school children of today will be the voters of tomorrow. Without education, especially the less biased education that the public school system provides, voters are more easily swayed by rhetoric.  Student in government classes in the next year+ will be eligible to vote in the next presidential election.\n\nSam Houston of Texas history said "The benefits of education and of useful knowledge, generally diffused through a community, are essential to the preservation of a free government."


I have a double chin that i'm really self conscience of. I feel like whenever i try to talk to a guy thats the first thing they see. Please Help.

I want to know the specific advantages for multiple concurrent cpu hogging applications? Not "Games" per se.

As a technology, HyperThreading behaves much differently than dual-core.  HyperThreading allows a single CPU core to queue two threads simultaneously, but only operate on one at-a-time (non HT processors only queue, and operate on, one thread at-a-time).  This helps reduce latency and improve overall performance.  It also means that the operating system need not support multiple processors to take advantage of the feature (Win98, WinME, WinXP Home).\n\nDual-core places two processor cores (where processing takes place) on a single die (chip).  This is effectively the same as having two separate processors on your motherboard (with higher speed interconnects on the dual-core, but close enough).  The operating system must be able to handle multiple cores (Win2000, WinXP Pro, WinServer families) to take advantage of this configuration.\n\nUltimately either technology only benefits individual applications if the applications running on the machine are written to support multiple threads (running two or more tasks at-a-time).  Users who run multiple applications at once that perform background tasks while other applications are busy will also notice better performance.  If either of these two scenarios fit your applications, then either processor will be of some benefit.\n\nIn most scenarios, the dual-core Athlon will perform better at a lower clock speed.  Since some applications are optimized to run on the P4, there are a few exceptions, however (very few).


Considering that Nostradamus is dead, I don't think he'll have any more 'next predictions'.  People hash through his old writings all the time and try to associate things he said with events that may have just occurred.


We have been together for 5 1/2 years and I want to know what would be a sensible amount to spend on her.

how much you should spend depends on a few things. what is your income. how much have you spent in previous years. and how much total you have to work with. if you are a starving artist...don't spend 300 dollars. if you usually spend 300 bucks, don't start spending 50 now. and you also need to consider if you have 5 other people to buy for, or 25 other people to buy for. \nonce all of this is considered you should have a better idea of what to spend. \nneed some gift ideas? i don't know you or her...so i can't give specifics...but i will tell you that maybe it would you should think about whether you are going to buy 1 100 dollar gift or spend 20 bucks a piece and get her 5 gifts. think about it. \nand good luck.


Currently they a closing Veteran's Hospitals in New York and other places...

well right now the only thing they are doing is cutting veterans benifits,closing hospitals,and leaving our brave men and women to fend for themselves,until we get a new administration i doubt that will change.


i want to go to college but i can't i f i have no transcript so i need your help.

Call your high school. They should have a copy in your "permanent file." Seriously. (May cost $ and may take awhile as they may have moved those boxes to storage by now. No offense).


Once I found a SPEC, how can I found the owner details in order to contact him?\n\nHow can I check whether there are liens on a NYC house (in Brooklyn)?

I wish I could give you the specific information, but this will at least get you in the right direction.\n\nGo to your county's website and find where you can search the tax assessor records. You should be able to input the property address and find out the owner.\n\nThen, on the same county website, go to where you can search the public records. Enter the name of the owner and you will see all recorded documents. You may be able to find what you need there.\n\nHOWEVER, if you want to know everything, go to a title company and ask them to do a "preliminary title search" on the property. That will give you what you need. Tell them you hope to buy the house and if you do, you will use them for the transaction. They will likely do the title search for free or for a minimal fee.\n\nI hope this helps. I am from Seattle and this is how we do it there.


I mean, besides them starting a file on you and noting that you are the type of person who would want to read his/her own FBI file.

Well, hypothetical, if you committed a federal crime at some point and you know that a file exists, you could file an Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request with the FBI and they will probably respond in some way or another. Check the link below for instructions:


As annoying as they are, the best treatment I found was to not touch them at all!  The skin in that area is very prone to scarring because it is so thin and delicate.  My dermatologist did prescribe me some medication that helped get rid of them but the best remedy was to cover them up with a concealer (such as Maybelline's Invisible Concealer, if you're wearing something that reveals that area) and just plain ignore them.


just wondering wht if he's really hot!?!?!?

If it was your cousin's cousin's cousin (in the manner I assume you are referring to) you are that disticly related that there would be no legal or genetic reason that would make this improper.


When the moon is low to the horizon, it seems REALLY large, but after a few minutes and it has separated itself from the horizon, it looks a lot smaller. Why is this?

The theories presented so far have been pretty much debunked. The following link gives an elaborate explanation of this illusion. But even it fails to explain why we don't see this illusion every time the moon rises. It does not always appear larger at moonrise than when it is higher in the sky. Also, the moon may appear to be different sizes on different nights even in the same location. I'm still looking for a plausable explanation. \n\nhttp://facstaff.uww.edu/mccreadd/


Dou think wormholes, or portals to other dimensions exist? do other dimensions exist? where are they?

I greatly doubt it. If there are any 'wormholes', then they are probably the equivlant of black holes, and therefore would be floating aimlessly in space. If there was a wormhole in Boston, the Earth would be pulled into a million pieces in about two seconds.


The easiest way to create an email address would be to establish a web-based account, like Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail, or other services.  Other than that, you would need to establish an Internet domain, available through a variety of companies, that would include the ability to create multiple email accounts for it.  However, it would not be free.  You could set one up for as low as $30US per year.  I'm including a link to info on web-based email and one on a company that can establish a low-priced domain.\n\nI'm sure you weren't looking for something that would not be free, but I think establishing the domain and setting up the emails with it might be an excellent learning experience.  Good luck!


my sister email me today and said that yahoo is closing down due to overflow of yahoo users in order for me to use my yahoo account i have to past the message or my account will be deleted is true

Nope, not true.  If you think of the # of accounts that you can have with the maximum number of leeters per account at 23, and minimum at 3, then, nope, sorry, just not possible :)


I know there are a few in here above the age of 35 and I bet you remember Sunday dinners or something at Gramma's house and the like.\n It just seems that everyone is so busy with gaining material goods, that family is suffering. Then everyone complains that the kids of this world are cr... It so saddens me to see these kids today that don't even know there grandparents. What a shame. What a loss.

Family values and traditions have been distorted by the public view of the family unit.  Because we have a predetermined ethos of what a family is suposed to be like, forming traditions, ect, is very difficult today.\n\nAs to family values, these have been so distorted by religious dogma, that most parents find it very difficult to teach their children without a conflict of interest.\n\nIf you are worried about this for your own family, then set the standard.  Screw what society says.  If you and your family sit down every sunday for a dinner, great; or if you and your family spend every thursday night watching tv together, great; don't leave it up to society to dictate what your family should be doing.\n\nDon't leave it, also, up to religion to dictate what you and and your family should be doing.  A Family is simply an interaction between all involved.  Without interaction on a free front there is no family.  Including religious dogma, societal dogma, and transitory traditions doesn't bring a free interaction between all involved in the family.\n\nSet your own pace, and you'll be just fine.


Don't say Texas; we all saw what J.J. did to the 'Horns!

uconn of course they have a better team and coach than texas and by the way calhoun has already beaten coach k in a championship(1999).before i go remember this uconn has won every game so far plus the maui without their starting point guard who was on the 2004 championship team. p.s. toooo deeeep


I know the persons name, D.O.B., and the stae they lived in, and the city they passed away in. But I don't know how they died. How would I find that info?

call the county coroners office.  if an autopsy was done, then you can get access to that info


Baptist churches are everywhere, but how are they different from other churches?

It depends on which Baptist you ask.  Especially now.  The largest Baptist denomination in the US is the Southern Baptist Convention.  In the 1960's and earlier it was made up of a variety of Baptist with a variety of viewpoints.  Then in the 1970's two men, Paige Patterson (I think he was the president of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary at the time) and Paul Pressler (a retired judge) put a plan in motion to give full control of the SBC to the fundamentalist wing.  Most moderates either didn't know what happening until it was too late, or assumed the pendulum would eventually swing back their way.  But that has not happened.  This caused a split in the convention and the effects can still be felt today.  The largest organization to come out of the split is the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, and we look at ourselves as being what Baptists used to be.  Former president Jimmy Carter identifies with the CBF.  We now have our own seminaries, missionaries, etc.  I am a student at the Wake Forest Divinity School which is one of the new seminaries.\n\nA result of the split was a change to the Baptist Faith and Message which describes what we as Baptists believe.  The SBC adopted a new version of the BFM in 2000, replacing the 1963 version.\n\nThese documents will give you a good idea about what many baptists belive.  The Mainstream Baptist link below will allow you to read both files side by side. Hopfully, you will get some responses from other Baptists as well.  American Baptist Churches USA is another large group.

I have seen this girl two times in a  bar. I've seen her staring at me. But I couldn't think up how to go talk to her. I don't wanna chicken out next time.

I always hate it when a guy walks up and gives a pick-up line, whether it's cute or not. Just try to be natural. The guy who approached me in a bar that I will remember forever gave me a simple, "I saw you and wanted to come over and say hi." and then preceeded to ask me questions about myself. It was flatering that he wanted to talk to me, but he didn't try to hard or wasn't cheesy.\n\nBerbbb: Actually, the reason that I will remember the instances so well is because that guy is actually the father of my child:) We did date for about 2 years.

i have a felony and i need it taken off my record to get a better job but a lot of law fims say they dont do it.

Most law firms will say they don't do it, because it most cases it can't be done.  You need special circumstances to expunge a criminal record -- such as a pardon.  Your best bet is to forget about it as impossible, and work on building a resume slowly, and impressing those you work for now.  Sorry.


things like were theres a beat maker and you can make beats on it and then you dress your character up and go in a room and sing or rap on your beat.

Obviously the Iraqis aren't prepared to take up the fight themselves, not without the support of US troops anyway.  I personally think we're in too deep to get out quickly, 9 years seems reasonable time to build up an army that is more then just men.  One that has tanks, officers, etc.  It was kind of stupid to disband their old army in my opinion, putting 69 percent of Iraq into unimployment was a bad move.  Then there is the problem of a fundemential government, where women aren't allowed to work and have to cover themselves (Which may not sound like much, but it puts them back 50 years).  This wasn't the Iraq before the invasion, this is the Iraq that Iran is putting into place and compared to Saddam the president they have is a boyscout (I am not implying that Saddam wasn't a evil guy, I just don't want to end up with a country that is more a threat than it was before we invaded. That would be kinda ironic if that happened, despite being remarkably frightening).

We need to finish what we started, not just show up for the party and leave the cleanup for someone else.  I doubt there will be a full military pullout for a long time.  Personal opinion aside, if the US is truly a government of the people; then, we will be there as long as the majority of Americans believe we should be.  A silent voice is an uncounted voice.


Hitting for the cycle has been done many times, but a single outfielder throwing the ball precisely to all four bases to effect an out has not been recorded to my knowledge.  What about your knowledge???

An outfielder has thrown out 4 base runners in the same game only 8 times in baseball history and none since 1928.  So no its never been done.


is it.. 'why is the sky blue'?  or 'how much wood would a ...'     or is it another that we've heard a million times over?

The unladen swallow one.  The woodchuck.  Anyone want a date?  But, I'm not sick of the meaning of life questions.  I know someone knows and sooner or later they're going to answer it.


No matter what I do, I can't seem to stick to a fitness plain! Can you make it to the gym? Any words of inspiration?

i stick to it.  \n\nget a workout buddy.  that way, if you dont go, you are standing up a friend.  with a workout buddy, you are doing it for yourself andthem.  it works.


without grabbing her arm or stepping to her to be rejected.

Just smile at her but don't be all perverted with it. A nice smile and she will notice that you are checking her out. Continue to grasp her attention and then if she smiles back or give you that look. Go for it before another dude come along.


Friends with stuff. Co-Workers with awards and merits. Why?

The genes of competitive people that fought for the limited resources existing during the history of human beings and their predecessors, were favored by evolution. Most of the people existing today descend from competitive people, having those instincts programmed in their DNA.


I'm doing an APUSH essay and help would be appreciated.

I believe you are confusing the Articles of Confederation (AC)and the Declaration of Independance (DI). The DI was not ratified but approved by the Congress on July 4, 1776. On the other hand, the AC was passed by Congress in November 1777 but were not ratified by all the states until 1781.


I would never send my wife or my child to hell, and supposedly God loves them more than I ever can.  Therefore, how can he condemn them to hell?

God doesn't want to send anyone to Hell He made Hell for satan and his followers. God doesn't "send" you to Hell. You go there because of your sin. And with sin you can't be near God. So you spend eternal separation from Him. God loves you and he wants you to go to heaven but he loved you so much that he gave you the will to choose if you wanted to worship and love him. So before Jesus died for our sins it was very hard to get into heaven. So God died for His world that He created and made a way into heaven. And that is Jesus. The Way, the Truth, and the Light.


I have smoked since I was like 13, I'm 23 now and I've got to the point to where I feel it is just nasty. I can't stand the smell.(I never could) I hate it that my hands stink. I hate my breath, and I'm slowly killing myself doing it anyway. I live in a house with 3 other people and all of them smoke. Would moving be a good idea? Then try to quit for real or to stop now and go insane with all of the cigarettes in the house and nothing to smoke.

I quit using the patch, and it was fantastic and so easy.  I had 2 modifications to the program:\n\n1: When I was wearing the patch, if I still craved a cigarette, I reached for the patch and rubbed it.  This might have released more nicotine at that moment, or might have just psychologically helped and kept my hands busy -- I'm not sure.\n\n2: For at least 6 months after getting off the patch, I kept spare packages of lowest dose patch in my purse.  If I ever felt like falling off the wagon (say, a trigger being in a bar with smoking friends while we were all drinking) I would apply a patch instead.  I didn't hold myself to having to be off the patch.  Eventually, I went months without using one of the spares -- and that was that (4 years ago!)\n\nWhether you should move:  I wouldn't just yet -- you don't know if you can quit, and to move might be a decision you regret.  See if you can keep up with the patch for a little bit.  If your roomates are smoking and you want one, try the patch rubbing trick.   Once you've gone without smoking for a while, then you won't be able to stand your roomates smoking, even if you're still on the patch.  Then you can make the big move.\n\nGood luck.  I've given this same advice to 3 friends, and they all quit successfully.  The "carry a spare patch after you're done with the patch program" tip really makes the big difference in not getting back to smoking.


i would like to know if there is a phone number to call to see if your federal taxes are going to be offset

You can call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040 (that's 800-TAX-1040, an easy way to remember the number). You can ask the IRS agent if there are any "debt indicators" on your account. A debt indicator is a sign that some or all your your tax refund will be offset to pay an outstanding debt.\n\nYou can also call the Treasury Department's Financial Management Service. This is the agency that issues the offsets and applies the tax refund money to pay other debts. Their number is 1-800-304-3107.\n\nAll the best,\n\nWilliam Perez\ntaxes.about.com


Same design as a flash light but instead of emitting light it takes it all away.

If you were able to create a device that created a strong enough gravity field to suck in light, it would have the power to suck you in as well.\n\nSo, THEORETICALLY, it could be possible to construct such a device, but turning it on would be fatal.


I would like to buy a ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB AGP graphics card for not very much? Where do you recommend I buy such a card? How about ebay?? Any ideas would be helpful!!\n\nThanks

The xt aren't cheap. Thats why i just went with the 9600 pro. Keep an eye out on ebay and best buy and you can get a good deal on the xt. On black friday i picked up a x700 pro for 100 bucks. So just keep an eye out on sales and what not.


My website is ready to go, this is a press release website like businesswire.com. I have already a few press release a day. I need distribution. How can I be picked by the newsmedia and search engine like my competitors? This is a crucial part of my business plan. Is there a way to buy a package somewhere. I just would like to be able to say that the press releases will be read by thousands of journalists. Help and Yahoooooo for Yahoo Answers!

You definitely need RSS feeds for your press releases and promote those feeds in all RSS feed directories. A blog can also help your website to reach higher rankings.


I asked a question about why all of my friends that joined the army have become these lifeless ignorant jerks, and people started to assume that I dont support them. I support our troops 100%, its the war I dont support. I understand that these people are fighting and dying for all of us back home... those are my friends out there. Why is it that people think that I am wrong if my opinion doesnt match their's? Isnt that exactly what our troops are fighting for???? Geeze!

because your statement indicates that the Army caused your friends to become "lifeless, ignorant jerks".\n\nIf you start with that as a presumption, most people who don't support that presumption will tune you out.


I was raised to use the Girl's Potty, from age 7.  \nI continued to rather / want to use the "cleaner girl's potty," until I was told that I would be arrested if I entered the Girl's Potty again, while @ Church.! I have been using the girl's Potty since the care providers (Parents) had began to Dress me, in Petticoats and full circle Dress'es I am now in my 30's; I'm very much more a Big Girl, then a Man!

It's up to whoever owns the restrooms. If it's in your own home, its completely legal. If it's at a place of business, the owner has the right to require you to use a male restroom- if he knows you're a male that is.

Ever since eminem, all these nobody artists, some of which we have never heard before, have started rap music! I mean, rap music is truly the worst type of music i've ever heard. Except Black Eyed Peas! And, thanks to these people, swearing is now worse than 5 years ago! Should it be banned?

Of course you don't want to pay.  Someone once passed the ones below onto me, you can try them out, if you wish.  The only one I know of personally is Yahoo 360 and it's very good.


I want to wear something nice so that I look great but not sexy. ok just a little!

You want something only sexy, anything less is viewed as pretty much nothing. Either a guy notices you, or he does not. The more you can do to improve your image, the better. Every guy's taste is different as well, for example I tend to like more muture girls, wearing biz casual or professional, like Banana Republic i find that sexy.


The Sun's outer visible layer is called the photosphere and has a temperature of 6,000°C (11,000°F). This layer has a mottled appearance due to the turbulent eruptions of energy at the surface. \n\nSolar energy is created deep within the core of the Sun. It is here that the temperature (15,000,000° C; 27,000,000° F) and pressure (340 billion times Earth's air pressure at sea level) is so intense that nuclear reactions take place.


I call now and then to my credit card comanies and ask them to reduce rates or cancel my card. They usually offer 0% for 9 months or something along the lines. Which cards are giving 0% right now?


I live in a town with a population of about 150,000.

Are you a complete person? by this i mean, are you doing what you really want to do, are you happy, generous, etc.? if not, focus on finding yourself first, and the women will happen. This can be helped by participating in various activities, which may also help your find yourself, such a volunteering to help others, to raise funds for charitable causes you believe in, etc.. Once you are truly secure, confident, and believe in yourself, they will find you and greet you, and/or you will know which ones to approach and will do fine. If you have no idea how to do these things, get counseling and/or do some reading on self-help. Those who are desperate will find nothing; those who give will be happy. Happy people will attract others, its just the way it works.


I found out that i have an older brother. Before my mom got married she was raped. The baby was given up for adoption. He should be around 23-25 years of age. But im not sure. What is the best way to look for him?

First thing check laws in the state you believe this boy was adopted, see if records can be legally opened. Some records can be now! \nFind what hospital, doctor,county anything to help. \n\nMetro Adoption Registry is a great place to go. Any internet registry can help. Also find a local support group. My Aunt found her first son that way.

I want to build my own computer- buy the parts, assemble.  Is there a site that tells me how to build a computer? Like which connects to which piece?  And is there a site that tells me which cpu, gfx card, etc is good?

Friend,\n\nYahoo is in beta stage and it is giving its adv to selected sites. Google is public you can use that and you can also get paid in indian rupees. So use google adsense.


Both are my favorite bands.  I am wondering, which do yu like better?\nwww.greenday.com\nwww.mychemicalromance.com

Hmm, that's a difficult question, because I like both bands...Green Day has been around for yrs. now, & I've always liked their music, although their new stuff is a lil' different...When it comes to MCR, I really like them...Gerald has a really cool voice...So yeah...I'm gonna have to say this is a tie...lol...


I like it. It can be frustrating because your students are often ill-prepared for the rigors of college, but I don't know any job that isn't frustrating at one time or another. It is quite rewarding to share your knowledge with others and to see the "light bulb" when they get it.

I seem to be having a weird display bug with quicktime in firefox 1.5 on my ibook.  I've tried to reinstall quicktime, tried to install firefox and no good.  What I would like to do is completely delete the plugin and reinstall quicktime but I can't seem to find the plugin (even with spotlight).

Plugins for the Mac are kept in their own folder, "Internet Plugins" in the top-level Library.


TELL ME THE ANSWER!!! if you get it correct then ur a genius!!!


I want a faculty position doing high energy theory at a proper school, eg ias, harvard, mit, caltech

Academic pedigree.  Don't let anyone tell you that it doesn't matter.  It does.  Where you did your undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral work counts.  And with whom counts.  It would also help if you already had some independent funding set up.  Theoretical fields are harder to get funded, and money talks loudly.


The reason I dont want to spend money on it is b/c I dont want to feel selfish about it b/c its nobody`s fault but my own that I started smoking to begin with.Any suggestions?

I saw Japanese animation 'Pani Poni Dash!' yesterday.\nIn that program, all the characters were in old fashin cloths.\n\nI'm not familiar with Japanese old drama called 'jidai-geki'.\nCould you tell me where can I get information on the Net?

I am trying to mount a dual boot(linux/windows)\ndell laptop internal ide (ibm) 20 gig hard disk\non my dell precision desktop (wind2k) using a ide to usb cable.(sabrent).\n\nI can see my drive in the device manager under disk drives, it kwon exactly my disk id (IC25T048 ATDA05-0 USB Device. but when it wont show in the disk management window.\n\nHow can I mount this drive on my pc???

Well the above answer is not entirely correct... \nThere are programs that will allows windows to see the drives. \n\nIt depends on the filesystem of the drive. \n\next2 and ext3 \ndrives can be seen by windows if you use \nhttp://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm\n\nreiserfs\nI do not think there is a way to mount it, but you can still view the files on it using http://yareg.akucom.de/ and its dependencies (look on the site). \n\nFor any other filesystems, just search yahoo.. Im pretty sure that you can find something that allows you to have some sort of access to the files on your laptop hd.


How do you find money, venture capitalist in your local area or etc??? This would be miami, florida

Place an ad in the paper saying you are looking for investors. Some vent caps place ads in tha paper saying they are Angels (No idea why).\n\nObviously you want to look into their history as best you can to know you are not being snowed. Ask them for folks you can contact to find out about their history of investing in projects.\n\nCheck to see if they have had alliaces or have declared banckruptcy. Check with the better business beuro BBB as to business history.


How are these different:\n\nsnow showers, freezing rain, sleet, and flurries

Snow Shower - A short duration of light to moderate snowfall. Accumulations of snow are possible.\n\nFreezing Rain - Rain that falls in liquid form and then freezes upon impact with the ground or an item with a temperature of 32 degrees Fahrenheit or less, possibly producing a thin coating of ice. Even in small amounts, freezing rain can cause traveling problems. Large amounts can pull down power lines and tree branches.\n\nSleet - Precipitation consisting of transparent pellets of ice, 5 millimeters or less in diameter. Also called ice pellets. Forms when snow enters a warm layer of air above the surface and melts and then enters a deep layer of sub freezing air on the surface and refreezes.\n\nSnow Flurries - Intermittent snowfall of short duration. No measurable accumulation of snow occurs.\n\nYour HW i guess? ;)


I'm looking for something that will work as a content management system and allow me to set the fields & field types. I'm sure there must be tens of them, I just can't seem to find them.\n\nI run a story site and I'd like people to be able to fill in the fields and then for a web page to be created automatically, where the menu is created dynamically & the story automatically goes into a searchable database.

Hello,\n\nI know the exact answer for your problem.\n\nGo to http://www.drupal.com and download "Drupal".  Also, download the "Flexinode" module.  Set the system up on your server.\n\nOnce the system is set up, you will be able to completely customize the site to where you can add fields for "Author", "Publication Date", "Original URL", etc - or anything you can think of.  \n\nUsing Drupal, you can make a site like Slashdot, FreeRepublic, MetaFilter, or any number of others.


Some preachers and adherents of particular religions; go to the extent of abusing other religions?? \nWhat is their justification and how do they expect sensible people to really listen to what they have to say??\nWhere do we draw the line??

Among other religions, Christianity is considered the worst offender of this. Hinduism, Judaism, Sikhism and Islam have all reacted in the strongest terms to the dishonest way missionary groups try to seek (aka brainwash) converts.  One need only look at http://www.messiahtruth.com to see how one faith is responding to the systematic attack it has to withstand from Christian missionary groups.\n\nIntellectual debate between religions is fine, but attempting to mislead members of other faiths so that they are fooled into joining another faith is not acceptable by any standards.\n\nHere's a look at how missionaries are attempting to wipe out Hinduism and a response to the constant attack of missionaries:\nhttp://vivekajyoti.blogspot.com/2005/10/they-are-on-mission-to-destroy.html\nhttp://www.atributetohinduism.com/Conversion.htm


How many spider do you eat over the years when you are asleep?

It's possible, but very, very rare. Most spider wouldn't be crawling on a bed, as most house spiders like the floor (especially places that aren't disturbed very often, like the basement). Spiders also don't like to walk on moisture or in windy places. So they wouldn't be likely to go into a mouth with moisture and breathing. One other thing is that even when people are asleep, I don't know how easy it would be to swallow a spider that doesn't want to be swallowed.


i want to be prepared for this valentine's day.\nthis is my first one.\ni want to be really wonderful to my girlfriend.\ni want to give the nicest present.\ni love her so much that i am not able to decide.\n\nok as for her she is nice fun loving cute girl.

Ok, I'm a boy, but hope this will give you a hint. For Valentine, chocolate is a must. If that is not enough, accompany the chocolate with other things, like wine, candy, or cards. You can even give an overkill expensive chocolate, like a branded-brandy-chocolate.\n\nActually, it will be better if you make the chocolate by yourself (you better make it delicious), but I think boy just can't do it. If you can, however, make it (and make it sweet, as sweet as your love)!! \nBtw, don't make it sweet if you know that your GF really HATES sweet ^_^ ...\n\nYou can also give your own handicraft, would be better if from your expertise field, like flower decoration, towel (with your picture), painting, psalm, etc. Just make it romantic (just because you are an insurance salesman and then you give her a insurance policy). Just don't forget to give this along with your chocolate!!\n\nMy advice: Just be yourself, and think with your heart (not head) what do you want to give her. Give it all, and always be there when she needs you. May be you can give yourself as a present? Don't be afraid , because you love her.


I want to get my Dad a program for managing/ editing digital photos on his Dell laptop, which is running Windows XP.\n\nLeaning towards Adobe Elements, but have two questions:   First, the operating system specs for v. 3 & 4 of that program say something like Windows XP with SP, and I have no idea what that means (since I'm a Mac user myself)\n\nTwo, do most commercial programs currently offer two uploads/ purchase?  He'll be getting a new desktop machine in the spring and I would like to not have to buy whatever I buy twice.\n\nThanks, y'all, for any advice you have to offer!

Windows XP is an Operating System just like Mac OS X.  SP stands for Service Pack.  Its basically an OS update especially for adding more security features to a "bare-bones" Windows XP OS.  The latest SP for Windows XP is SP2 and required by most software for proper installation.  \n\nI don't think that commercial software will allow you 2 downloads for one payment.  But most software do come with a software CD.  You can probably use the CD for software installation on the new computer.  \n\nAnother alternative is to use a free imaging utility like Google Picassa as mentioned above.  It is fast and has decent filters (but not comparable to Adobe Photoshop or Elements).


since we have been married he has done just about everything but cheat on me(that i know of) that everyone said he would.  where should i go from here?

Josie, you need to speak to a Professional counselor or your Pastor immediately, and work through the issues that brought you into this relationship and that keeps you there.  What you are describing is self-destructive and needs to be fixed as soon as possible


goes something like right stomp this time, turn it up

i think its the cha cha slide ... its a song that tells you wat to do the whole time right?


After such a great start I'm beginning to feel like we might have a chance of staying up this year.

as a west ham fan you should know not to be lulled into  a false sense of security. a 17-game losing spiral is just around the corner, followed by a nail biting finish to the season where you may or may not narrowly avoid relegation, after which you wont even care whether you have or have not, it's been that stressful.


in term of amount, drug trafficking/using, etc. in Singapore.

The Presumption Clause under Section 17 of the Misuse of Drugs Act (MDA) stipulates that anyone caught in the possession of a certain amount of a controlled drug is presumed to be trafficking in the drug and the onus is on him to prove that the drug found on him is not for the purpose of trafficking.\n\nUnder the MDA, a person is presumed to be trafficking in a controlled drug if he possesses more than:\n\n    * 2g of heroin;\n    * 3g of morphine;\n    * 100g of opium;\n    * 15g of cannabis;\n    * 10g of cannabis resin;\n    * 30g of cannabis mixture;\n    * 3g of cocaine;\n    * 25g of methamphetamine; or\n    * 10g of any or any combination of the following:\n          o N, a-dimethyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine;\n          o a-methyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine; or\n          o N-ethyl-a-methyl-3,4-(methylenedioxy)phenethylamine \n\nFollow the link below for more details.


I get very sleepy in the afternoon, about an hour after lunch. Any suggestions for staying awake without using caffeine?

Getting up and walking around helps a lot.  Drink some water.  Find a diversion that can keep you engaged for a minute or so when you get sleepy.  Sometimes when I get really tired in the afternoon I do math problems in my head or try to remember arcane facts about cars.  Q&A is also a good way to keep your mind alert...


I am using a free-ware antivirus but not much satisfied....now i wanna get a good one what you think which one is best n why?

Which freeware one are you using.  I don't think it is possible to beat AVG Free Edition, http://free.grisoft.com/ , made by Grisoft, I have found it to be superior to Norton or Symantec but avoid Norton Internet Security at all costs, it will bog your system down worse than having all the viruses in the world on it.


Using p2p to download copyrighted material that you haven't paid for is illegal. However p2p has a plethora of other uses such as legal content distribution or open source distribution. \n\nOne of the best distribution models that exists today is Bittorrent. The bittorrent protocol breaks the file(s) down into smaller fragments, typically a quarter of a megabyte (256 KB) in size. Peers download missing fragments from each other and upload those that they already have to peers that request them. Open source software like Fedora, use Bittorrent to distribute their OS to greatly reduce the load on their servers.


If you're a woman, is there something you appreciate more than jewelry as a gift?

Not all women like jewelry...just like not all men love to work on cars. Personally, I enjoy wearing rings and necklaces. I used to be big on earrings, but not much anymore. Also, some women like dimonds, or a specific stone. I happen to like Emeralds. Some women like gold, while others like silver. \n\nIf you're trying to determine a gift, take a look and see if she normally wears jewelry and if so, what kind. That should give you a starting point.\n\ngood luck!


In Catholic tradition, they are known as Dismas and Gestas and are being crucified for theft (presumably very large theft), with Dismas being the "good thief" who repents and Gestas being the "bad thief".


There are wikis, blog, mobile platforms, and web property all trying to reach us with advertising. There is so much advertising out there that is not directly related to our interests. We already know what we want to see because we already know what we want to purchase. Or do we? \n\nResearch shows that advertising works to reposition our interests and influence our purchase decisions. It's probably here forever in some format. How would you like to see advertising interact with you? Will it ever be considered as unhealthy and be banned as cigarettes are in some areas? If advertising were made free would it go away?

People want to see advertising that is entertaining or informative, and they want it to be something they are interested in. The internet will make this more and more possible, especially web 2.0 sites that gather limited user interest information and can deliver targeted ads. Affiliate marketing also makes this possible. I noticed that your service listing doesn't cover affiliate marketing, you should contact us sometime at http://www.kowabunga.com .

It makes it harder to find something if all the icons for winamp files look the same. This is for Windows

Ready?   Start - Settings - Control Panel. Click on the Tools tab on the top toolbar - select Folder Options. Click on the File Types tab. Click on file type you wish to change icon for so it is highlighted. Now click on the Advanced button near the bottom. There will be a change icon button right next to the highlighted file type you just selected. select new icon or search for another then click OK.


Does it go any faster if you mention the "Bad" words like sex, penis, etc....

No, if anything, when you use those words, your question may be thrown away, anyway!  How fast people answer all depends upon how interested they are in your subject.


Vaginally an issue! Rotten!(smell) Tried everything! No sexually trans diseases ever or currently! Doctor just keeps giving me antibiotics that arent working!

I am trying to find one for Windows 98 and that doesn't take very long to download cuz I have some kind of spyware on my computer.... thanx! :-P

There are a few programs that I swear by and will never log on to the web without. They are --\n\n1. SpyBot-Search & Destroy 1.4\nhttp://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html\n\n2. SpywareBlaster 3.4\nhttp://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html\n\n3. WebWasher Classic 3.4\nhttp://www.cyberguard.com/products/webwasher/webwasher_products/classic/index.html?lang=de_EN\n\nAll three of these programs are freeware and they'll really help to keep spyware from being put on to your computer, as well as help to remove any spyware that may already be there.\n\nI am not a big fan of 'Ad-Aware', regardless of all of the wonderful testimonials from others as to how well it works. While it does find and clean 'adware' per se, what it usually finds is minimal stuff (like MRUs - whoopee).\n\nUsing all three of the programs that I recommended should help to keep your computer in very good shape.\n\nBTW - I'm running Win98SE and all of these programs work very well on my system. Hope this helps you.


I have never skied or snowboarded before how hard will it be to learn and will I fall alot?

I've been skiing since i was about ten (so about 11 years now) and I tried snowboarding two years ago - i fell so much.  no matter who you are, when you first snowboard, you will fall, and generally a lot.  but that is what makes it so incredible when you are able to make a trip down the slopes without falling.  \n\nOnce the pain is gone, the pride remains.\n\ndont give up - and try it - i am now riding black diamonds and loving it.


I have to interview a candidate for a Marketing executive role. Whats the best way to do it so that I can make a judgement and the candidate enjoys it too

Be honest, have a good time, and be sure to ask questions that lead to discussion versus yes/no response.  Think "why is this important" instead of "is this important"


"Caught between a rock and a hard place" or "It's like choosing between a rock and a hard place" or something along those lines.

BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE -- From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996): "Between a rock and a hard place. Forced to choose between two unpleasant options. The expression originated in the early twentieth century in the United States. It usually follows 'to be caught'." \n\nThe "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Fact on File, New York, 1997) says "the expression was probably born in Arizona during a financial panic early in this century."


I'm looking for a self-help tool.  CD-ROM, DVD, tapes, online?  Any suggestions would be great.\n\nSpending 3 months in India isn't an option :-)

I personally reccomend the Rosetta Stone language education software. It's specifically designed to teach people fast. My father was at conversational italian after an hour a day for six months, and was reading and writing it by the end of the year. I'm going to get a copy before I go to Japan. It comes in almost every language, too.


It depends on which ones they are and what year. Are these basketball cards? A '98 Jordan is worth about $5.00. I would guess off hand that what you have is worth between $1.00 and $15.00. \n\nA collectable is worth what someone is willing to give you for it.


by sueing just about everyone downloading music

No, they are trying to stop an avalanche.  They can stop a few thousand downloads maybe with lawsuits, but billions and billions of downloads more are going on right behind their backs.  They are idiots.  The P2P Genie is out of the bottle, and no way its going back in.

I have never been terminated before so this is all new to me. How much information do you have to give when interviewing? Can I still acquire a clearence?

It depends on the laws of the state you live in, the reasons you were discharged, and your former employers history.\nI live in GA. It is my practice to challenge every claim for unemployment. The overall rate I pay for workers compensation is based on the number of claims for unemployment that are made against me. \nCan you still aquire a clearence? Do you mean a security clearence? If you were discharged for being late, not likely. If you were discharged for smoking pot on company property, than yes. The results of some states unemployment claims hearing are treated the same as a court case and are a matter of public record. Some states it is nothing but a private insurance claim.

Going back to college and need an affordable solution to housing in lower Massachusetts - any suggestions?  Thanks.

Check out your local newspaper listings.  You should be able to get a wide enough choice from there.


is lessened in the universe. But since the universe has no boundaries and is infinite so will be entropy so no matter how much of 'disorder' you remove the amount is always incalculable and is regarded as infinity.So, How can u say that throwing matter into a black hole opposes the second law of thermodynamics?

Also note that entropy formulation has a modified form to include relativity which is the case for black holes.


I had a vasectomy about 5 years ago now my girl friend is pregnant. What are the chances that a vasectomy didn’t work and should I question if it’s mine or not?

Ok so I heard that there is slight possibility the vasectomy fails....but it's a VERY slight chance of it happening. If you feel that there is some question, get a DNA test.

Its not a perfect world, and politicans aren't generally the nices guys in the world.  They're mostly ex-lawyers and rich folks who have no understand of the man on the street.  So do you trust politicans to define what a terrorist is?  The patriot act gives the government the right to imprison you with delayed rights, it lets the government dig out information on you without having to tell you, and it lets your property be searched or siezed without a warrent.  Is fear enough a reason to give up civil liberties? Safety traded for freedom?

Love your country, distrust your government.  "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety," Benjamin Franklin.  The US Patriot Act is very very unpatriotic.  It literally strips away your Constitutional Rights.  Hitler burned the Reichstag building when he became Chancelor.  Then blamed it on Poland.  The Bush Administration caused 911 to happen and then they blamed Afganistan and Iraq.  The media is completely saturated with propaganda.  Currently, the United States is run by a military industrial complex and most Americans are blind to that.  Many people say you shouldn't believe what you read on the internet, but it's the internet that has complete and total freedom to communicate the truth and what's really going on.  All other media is controlled and propagated.  Do the research.  Find the truth.  We must take our county back from these treasonous "leaders."

i wish i was a girl.but the more i dress like a girl the more i want to be one.and the more i catch my self checking out guys.dose this mean im going gay??????????

you arn`t going gay.you definitelly are GAY!


My boyfriend and I had a discussion on the topic. He said getting married won't change nothing but the last name.

Marriage means tax benefits. :-)  Ususally you share last names (but it's not mandatory).\n\nOtherwise, it's pretty much the same. If you love each other, that's all that really matters.\n\nSome people view marriage as sealing love for one another, being "accepted" into the family.  Some view it as a trust issue..."locking" the relationship because the partner may find it easier to leave during rough times if otherwise.\n\nTax benefits. :-)


The statement of the problem is incomplete. In order to evaluate the limit, you need to know what value x is approaching.\n\nIf you are taking the limit as x->0 then:\nsin(x)->0, so tan(sin(x))->0, cos(x/4)->1, so the numerator goes to zero, while the denominator goes to 1 (unless the elipsis (...) indicates that there are more terms that you havend listed.) That means the the limit of the quotient will be 0.\n\nFor the second on one, [sin(x)] is the greatest integer less than sin(x) which will be -1 if x is slightly less than 0 and 0 if x is slightly greater than 0. |x-P/2| will go to P/2 so you have a limit of -4/P approaching from the left and -2/P approaching from the right. The limit doesn't exist, only the two one-sided limits.

I have been "low carb" for almost 2 and a half years, and besides the large amount of weight that I've lost I noticed other improvements to my health including no longer experiencing asthema symptoms when I'm doing a lot of physical excersize.  \n\nOver the last few months I've been playing with my diet to see what amount carbs I can tolerate without gaining weight.  I've also noticed that since I've been eating more carbs, now, when I overexert myself, I start having the asthema symptoms (shortness of breath, flushed face, sneezing, ears ringing) that I haven't seen since I started the diet.  \n\nHas anyone else noticed a link here?  I'm wondering if it's something that doctors should study since there's such a "epidemic" of kids with asthema these days... Their diet might be the cause more than some other factors.\n\nI think a lot more people are actually allergic to carbs than realize they are and that allergy manifests itself in unexpected ways.

I think it is pretty awesome you noticed this.  \n\nMy wife noticed that her acid reflux went away when she was on reduced carb diet, and comes back as soon as she goes back to carbs.\n\n"Yeah!" for low carb diets.


I'm thinking that I should make a CD or website with samples of what I've done. Will people expect that, or is it unnecessary?

I just want to know if there is any possible way I can date and meet famous Degrassi star. The reason is I have a enormous crush and I am just dying to go out with him. If you can't help then thats okay. If your not pschycic and can't give me answer I really and truly understand. \n                   Thank You.

I like him, too!!! Did you know he goes to malls to sign Degrassi DVDs? Yeah, he's been around already, maybe you can catch him next time... But he's an AWESOME actor!


This question sounds like your teacher/ta/whoever wants you to make 3 assumptions (or they already did and you just didnt mention it):\nThey have the same mass (otherwise he would have to specify the masses of each)\nAir resistance is negligible (pretty common)\nThey all roll without slipping (otherwise they all get to the bottom together)\n\nIf you make these assumptions, the order is based on their respective moments of inertia about the center.  They each move downward at a speed based on their rotation, so the order they reach the bottom will be smallest rotational inertia first. Sphere, disk, ring.


My daughter and son both have life-threatening allergies to tree nuts.  It is a constant worry for me and my wife and it makes eating out in restaurants almost impossible.  I wanted to know if there are any methods out there to reduce or remove these allergic reactions by the body.

I would talk to your allergist -- my guess would be no (in spite of the fact they often do this for less severe environmental allergies).  And it would certainly be impossible to eliminate them!\n\nSeveral observations:\na) Peeople can be real stupid about this. My favorites, well I thought he wouldn't be allergic to the nuts since they were chopped up. As if the shape somehow matters...  Or, (to me) -- well we don't list eggs on the ingredient list because the eggs are just on eth outside to hold on the sesame seeds.  (me: ummm -- but you listed the sesame seeds).\nb) pay attention whenever they say their mouth, lips or tongue itches (or tingles, or feels strage, or turns blue or turns red or gets hives).  Tell them it is OK to spit out any food at any time when they get those feelings!\nc) Carry the epipen AND practice using it.  make sure those around them know what to look for and how to respond.\nd) Tag team in restaurants.  One of you ask if there are any __ in the whatever menu item.  Then have the other explain how severe the reaction is.  When servers understand the impact, they really do care and won't to avoid hurting you in any way!  (If you are just perceived as an overly picky eater they are not always as vigilant...)\n\nPerhaps it would be possible to speak witha  restaurant owner/manager who would help insure that there could always be something safe on the menu...

The Danish. In 1066, the Danes invaded England, and won the war. England, or Angle Land, as it was known then, still having people speaking the germanic languages, had a simpler language type than the Danish, who spoke primarily Latin. The Danes were very educated people and were very proud of this fact. As in the aftermath of any war, the victors, in this case, the Danish, assumed the ruling class positions in Angle Land. As the Danish children started to grow up in the land of the Germanic peoples, they learned the common or "vulgar" (which simply means common, though it has been twisted these days to mean something vile) language. Danish parents, still proud of their education, chastised their children for using the vulgar common words, thus starting the concept that some words are better (or in this case, worse) than others. Because of the close ties to the catholic church maintained by Denmark at the time, the concept began to work its way into organized theological religion, even taught as sin in some places. \nThere are several things that are interesting to note:\nFirst, there are no references available to profane language earlier to this in the English language.\nSecond,there are other countries in the world that do not have any words that are culturally taboo. This is primarily an english-language thing. \nIn addition, in England, there are different sets of words that are taboo than are here in the US. For instance: In the US, the "F" word is a big no-no, but in England, the word is commonplace, just as any other expletive word, conveying shock or anger, but to contrast, the word "Bloody" is a vile thing to say.\n\nHope this helps.

I just had a job interview and the interviewer asked a couple of questions like, "what salary range are you looking for" and "are you sure it's ok for us to contact your current employer."

Did they say "When are you avaliable to work?" late in the interview, because thats a good sign. The first question you listed is pretty good, I don't know about the second. Either way, Good Luck Bro! Hope it works out.


Damaging something that won't affect you tends to be fun, until you sit down and think about it.  The problem is, most vandals are too drunk or drugged to think it over.  So where's the actual appeal?

because it's breaking the rules... and breaking any rule is always fun if you do it on purpose.


we all know that in the Constitute there wrote the United States is consists by its states, and the states joined this country out of their own decision. and the law makes it clear that the states can split up at their own wish. so here leaves the question: was the Civil War illegal? couldn't the Confederate take part from the United States?

No provision of the Constitution allows secession.  This was a contested theory, of course, because no state had tried it, and many states thought they still reserved the right to secede.  New England even considered a plan well before the Civil War to secede, under the Hartford Convention of 1814.\n\nThe structure of the Constitution, however, seems to deny a secession theory.  The Constitution may be amended by 3/4 of the states, which means that 1/4 of the states could be bound by a law they did not agree with.  It doesn't seem like that a state could just secede if they wanted to, since the very structure of the Constitution bound states with laws they didn't agree with.\n\nThe Civil War, then, was not "illegal."  The President used troops to prevent a rebellion.  The Confederacy had violated the structure of the Constitution, and it had circumvented legal methods of achieving its desires (e.g., legislation, constitutional amendment).

buy it now if you need it now. (i'm an 12" iBook owner). its unrealistic to expect the new Intel based macs to be a lot cheaper, and essentially, all new apps written in new xCode can be run in both PowerPC based and Intel based macs.\n\nalso, Apple says it is going to support the PowerPC macs for a very long period of time and will release at least two of its future Mac OS X in PowerPC version.\n\nif you want to have the perfect computer, you really need to wait forever.


whats equivalent of Virtual PC to run MAC OS based application on a PC (WinXP OS)?

Yes ofcourse.\nThere are emulators that can do that.\nBut all of them are in development stage and therefore not reliable.\nSo there is no official Mac emulator for windows.\nBut there are other Mac softwares that are also available for windows.\nLike iTunes. Use them if u like.

I need to lose some ponds & get in sape for 2006. But not lose intrest this time. Got any ideals?

Don't concern yourself so much about the loss of pounds, but more about changing your food habits. If you think about what things you are eating that cause you to gain weight & cut back on them, as well as maintain a moderate exercise routine, you should start to shed pounds. I have lost over 150 lbs. in the last few years & did not do one minute of dieting. I eat whatever I want but I keep in mind what I am eating & have trained myself to be aware of when I am full, etc. It takes awhile to make changes that will last a lifetime but, once made habit, you will be surprised at how easy it is to maintain whatever weight you wish & still not deny yourself what you want to eat.

I would like to know the truth behind 'Philosophy of Time Travel' that whether this totally a fiction created by the director.\nThe concept of parallel universe is a real theory in physics which was proposed to clear the ambiguities of time travel. But I want to know the truth of things like tangent universe, artifact, manipulated dead etc.

The Philosophy of Time Travel book, as well as its complete contents (tangent  universes, etc), is a work of fiction, created by Richard Kelly, who wrote and directed it.

Quintessence was discovered by two groups which looked at distant supernova. By seeing how bright the supernova were they were able to estimate how far away they were. This was used to plot the relationship between distance and redshift that can be used to show how fast the universe is expanding.\n\nWhat they found instead, was that the universe is accelerating. That is, the rate and which the universe is expanding today is more than it was a billion years ago, and  in a billion years from today the rate of expansion will be even faster.\n\nThe name "quintessense" is used for various models of the vaccum energy which drive the acceleration of the rate of expansion. The term was chosen because it sound nice and mysterious, it has no connection with any Earth-Fire thing. They could have called it "Peanut Butter" and nothing would have changed in the mathematics - which is what counts.\n\nIf you're interested in science, like it sounds you are, I would strongly recommend reading more about it, and just enjoy the very strangeness of it. Engage with people on message boards. It is extremely difficult to make a major, ground-breaking contribution to physics even with a PhD and research experience. It is basically impossible to do so without one. \n\nI don't mean to be condensending, its just that there were, and still are, a lot of crank theories out there based on a few ideas which may or may not be wrong, but which ignore the VAST amount of experimental data there is about the universe we live in.\n\nYou don't want to fall into the trap of being a crank, or quack. Trust me, I've seen it. (When a post-doc at a big state university.)


If God has everything all planned out for us as some say then why were we given free will. Is it God's sense of humor at work?

Gods great plan is to raise us and get us to grow up so that we will stop using him as a crutch and stand on our own.


Probably not. News groups like Capitol Hill Blue and The Drudge Report report information that has not been confirmed by major news sources like the AP and UPI. This means that sometimes they break the story sooner but usually are dead wrong.


I walked in on my little brother and our cousin messin around the other nite. They did'nt see me and I did'nt let them know I knew. They were so into what they were doing they did'nt notice me. So I just backed out of the room. I want to let them know that I know but I don't want to freak them out. Is it okay that two cousin mess around in their early years and should I say something to them?

I think two boys or two girls of the same sex should be able to "mess around" on their own terms.\nAs long as it isnt more than messing around.\nEven if they're cousins they still have the right to experiment with their bodies at any age. Incest is weird but to each his own. In this type of messin around between cousins there will be no baby produced like between boy and girl and no incest baby being born for these kissin cousins I am curious about the ages though. Kids usually experiment "with messin around"  from the ages of 9 - 16 no matter what you try to do to stop them. Unlike some have expressed here, do not tell they're parents it is none of any of your business so back off and give positive guidance without confronting them in an awkward and detrimental way by poking into their lifes. Let their parents find out on their own and deal with it themselves. You shouldnt go around sneaking up on people or you find something you didnt want to find out  So back off. Really its natural and ultimately will not harm them. Believe it or not most boys experiment sexually with each others when they are younger and many don't.... But most that do won't admit it if they are "straight" when they grow up. And if they grow up gay so what... from what I know of, the biggest problem gays have is deciding on vacationing in Paris or the Hamptons. So ease off.  Gay people ROCK ! They'll be okay and now you know... don"t go "walking in" on them or anybody else. Nosy


I'm a good student, but my parents , especially my mom, always watns to see my report card.  tehn she harps if i lets say have and 88 and says you need to do better.  I try as hard as I can.  What do I do?

I am a pesky parent. my 21yr old lives any from home and goes to college and I still talk to her about her grades.She knows that I only want the best for her and that I am concerned and love about her.If I didn't pester her,she would think I didn't care.She says she loves me for doing it[even tho sometimes I am a pesky parent]She wouldn't have it any other way!!!p.s.I hope the answer you got from brnbrn3 was a joke even tho it was not funny. Ihave a 17yr old grand daughter who ran away on nov 21 2005,we haven't heard from her yet!!! An update incase you were wondering or praying for us.They found my 17yr old grand daughter on Monday Jan 9 2006.She is fine other than the fact that she has really messed up her life.She had big plans to go to college now she has missed so much school this year ,she can't even graduate.She was a straight A student  Senior year.She now sits in detention awaiting her day in court to see what the judge is going to do with her.So don't run away,and someday when you are sucessful, you will love your pesky parent as much as my daughter loves me.and someday hopfully my granddaugher will ,too!!!


I am learning a lot from folks answers on here so I don't think it is a waste of time.


We are not even officially boyfriend/girlfriend or anything like that because it is hard to label the relationship when we are so far apart. We have been together for 2 weeks and apart for 4 months, but I have never loved anybody more. I just want to know how I can make this easier on us both, we miss each other SO MUCH!!

Keep your chin up, and understand that will be a lot of time apart from each other. But if you really love the person, don't give up, no matter what. It is not easy, if there is not an official commitment to each other, but just keep the love in your heart no matter what happens.


I'm considering buying a new Mac laptop, which will be my primary computer.  Should I buy now, or wait until the Intel laptops come out?

If you can wait a bit then do so, since Intel macs will be much faster. If not, then PPCs are still very good.

When we dig bore into earth to draw underground water we get water without any mud / sand. Is it because the water available in some form of cavity that we get without any earthly particles.

We get clear water mostly because conventional well bores include filters of comparably higher grain-size sand which allows any agitated mud to settle down before the water passes on into a cavity from which it is pumped up. Wells without the filter may produce turbid water when significant amounts of water are taken out.


So if Abraham Lincoln's mother dies of milk sickness what is it?

cows and goats can carry some diseases and it can be spread through the milk. T.B. can be spread that way and dairy animals are regularly tested for T.B. If an animal gets mastitis the milk can become harmful. In the late 50's a young girl who lived next to my grandmother and drank fresh cow milk got milk sickness and nearly died. It left her with some brain damage and shaky hands. I don't know if it was caused by something the cow ate or an actual disease the cow had. I think the milk would need to be tested to find out for sure. Also her 4 brothers and her parents drank the milk, as did several other people in the neighberhood and as far as I know she is the only one who got sick.


Which team has a legit chance in landing Reggie Bush?

The worst records in the league are Houston, SF, NYJ and New Orleans. I would put the Houston and SF in the lead. Houston b/c obviously they're currently the worst and are more likely to get the 1st pick. SF has the the 2nd worst record and since Alex Smith played HS football with Bush, there may be some connection there.

is it on the first week after menstruation?

Although it is great to chart your cycle, the rhythm method of birth control is not foolproof.  It is now known that some women release two eggs during their menstrual cycle quite regularly.  Also since sperm can live in the body up to 72 hours and your egg is good from 12 to 24 hours you cannot totally predict when it is "safe" to have sex.  There are many methods of birth control that both you and your partner can use such as birth control pills, male and female condoms, nuvaring, the patch etc.  With these methods your mind can be more at ease.  If money or anonymity are of concern call your local Planned Parenthood.


Where o where are all the straight, cute, single and available males at? Especially the nice ones who aren't picky about features?!?!

In Heaven, so keep praying so you can get there and meet them! \n\nAll jokes aside, they are out there but you have to stop looking. They somehow magically appear when you stop looking. They are also not always the cutest, most sexiest, and most rich guys so if you really want love you have to be open-minded. \n\nGood luck.

I'm curious to know if there were any survivors after the bomb was sent off -- possibly the mute human tribes? Possibly apes? Or possibly the underground mutant humans?

In the original with Charlton Heston, The apes don't let anyone go beyond the forbidden zone because of the terrible secret that is buried there. \n\ncharlton heston's name is Taylor and he lands on the planet after travelling what he thinks is to a distant planet 54 light years way. The planet is so exotic and strange a planet where apes rule and the humans are primitive. \n\nDr Zaius keeps on saying that Man is a terrible beast \nandthat no one should go to the forbidden zone. \nTaylor finally finds out why after he travels through the forbidden zone and sees the statue of liberty destroyed and buried in the desert. he finally realizes what happpend. and he says "they blew it up!damn you all to hell!  because he reaiizes he really landed back on earth, that Man used atomic weapons and destroyed Earth and that the apes came from MAN AND THAT  dr zauis was right about man being a beast.\n\nIn the remake, it was specifically written not to make any sense at all. as if somehow they caused \nthe humans to be apes whene they returned . it makes no sense at all.


If plants didn't have babies, there would be no new plants to replace the old ones when they died. Then, eventually, there would be no plants and you would not be able to ask that question. Instead you would ask why the plants didn't have babies. What was wrong with them?


No, most are not -- and your asking the question shows your optimism, as well as showing that you are not an idiot.
