How much should I weigh? I am 5'8" and I consider myself medium framed but very hourglass figure. I guess even more than weight in pounds, I wonder what size would be good for me.

However much you think you should weigh. Don't let others tell you how much. All you need do is exercise daily for your heart and to stay healthy. I am in terms of others obese. I am 6'1" at 236lbs. I workout everyday for my health and not others.

One of my employees signed a rubbish hauling contract on behalf of my company. The contract was for 3 years and stipulated that if I didn't cancel via registered mail no more than 180 days and not less than ninty days the contract would automatically renew. The hauling price doubled in 3 years and I told the hauler to pick up his dumpster. Now he says I owe him liquidated damages equal to 6 months hauling. Can I defend and win this for less than the $900. damages hes trying to collect? Can the liquidated damages include his fuel surcharge?

it depends on their contract..and urs....is the employee listed as a decision maker in the business?  this is on paper....if so....what is their contract like?  were they allowed to go up in price?  because a futures contract has to outline all those......and if it does, then u are stuck....but...if the person is not a decision maker, then the employee is at fault...so he will be the one who has to pay...but.at the same time..the judge will ask why you didnt cancel if you had 180 days?  well, more like 90 because the first 90 doesnt count...Especially if that person is not the decision maker...because you cannot just throw someone out to sign a contract..and when u dont like it, u say that he is not the person who is supposed to sign..judge wil see that as a way to get away from contracts...so, therefore,..you must read their contract...see what it says....if by chance you find something that showed that they were supposed to do..and didnt do..then u can stop the contract, for breach of contract...thats the only way out...other then that....u can throw the worker at fault...if and only if the person who signed is not a decision maker...and u might walk away almost unscathed....but, if the worker is..then the company has to honor it...and 900 dollars?  well, i dont know...depends on what claim...small claim?  what are they asking for in damages?  see...its all relative to your situation...


and if a ray of light entered it what will happen to it?Will it stay stuck there till the sphere is broken or will the energy of the ray build up on continuous reflection til the sphere breaks unable to contain it??(i accept other possiblities too)

Unless the reflective surface is perfect (which is impossible in the real world) the light will loose a little energy with each reflection (the mirror will heat up a little), and in a very short time the light will just get redder until it is merged into whatever infrared energy is inside the sphere.

Basically I want to start a LLC in Delaware or Iowa since there cost for forming an LLC is so cheap.  Do I have to live there?  Does anyone have first hand experience in forming an LLC out of state?  Thanks

I have formed LLC, C, and S companies in Nevada, Delaware, and the countries of Panama and Dominica and I live in Phoenix. I have no corporations in Arizona. The simple answer to your question is, no you don't have to live where you incorporate. However, I would suggest that you not choose where based on cost, but instead base it on why are you incorporating? What state provides the greatest protection to your business model? Where do you pay fewer taxes for your type of revenue? Who will be your resident representative and what are the fees involved not just the state's price of incorporation.

he is presumed to be guilty on several french affairs but justice has always blocked investigations, due to his presidential status.

Technically he could.\nBut he would first need to be judged, proven guilty and condemned.\nEven by that stage, I don't think he would be jailed : he will be 75 when he loses his presidential status which means at least 76 or 77 when condemned which is pretty old to be put in prison.\nFurthermore, he might be able to count on his friends to come up with a law to protect him.


PEOPLE OF DIFFERENT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES SEEM TO THINK THEY'RE CHURCH IS THE ONLY CHURCH TO KNOW THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH.  AREN'T WE CHRISTIANS SUPPOSED TO BE FOLLOWING THE SAME DOCTRINE?  THE ONE AND ONLY BIBLE EVER MADE?

That is a great question. The word of God (the Bible) is progressively revealed to us over time as we walk with God by faith. Thus, what truth I had as a younger believer should be deepened and enriched over time and with experience.Some biblical truths transcend our opinions (i.e. the diety of Christ, His virgin birth, etc.) A saying that has always helped me is this: In opinions liberty, in essentials unity and in all things love.

what is good about being a scorpian male. that i am.

"To be nobody but Scorpio,\nin a world which is doing its best night and day to make you every body else means: to fight the hardest battle, which any scorpio being can fight and never stop fighting. "\n\n\nSome man see things as they are, and ask why? \n- Scorpio man dream things that never were, and ask why not?" - A. Onecer \n\nScorpio man incredible ability to regenerate from seemingly disastrous situations. Much has been written about how sexy and mysterious Scorpio man is. For Scorpio man the sex is very important, and it would be impossible for him to have a happy relationship without great sex. The Scorpio male is macho, a modern day 007: thrilling, strong, silent and handsome. \n\n\n Scorpio man is involved in a dynamic life, which calls upon the most elemental forces in nature. \n"I don't think much of a scorpio man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday." J. Freasevour \n\nA sign of great intensity, Scorpio man sees into the depths of life's processes, for better or worse. In this stage of the zodiacal cycle, life must recreate itself. Out of the powerful interpenetration of darkness and light, new life will triumphantly emerge. \n\n"\nA thousand zodiac words will not leave so deep an impression as one Scorpio man deed. "\n\n\nScorpio men are known for their intense and powerful natures. They are willful, proud and calm with an electrifying undercurrent of seething intensity. Purposeful and animated with force, they project a magnetic personality. \n\nScorpio man " I would rather live in a world where my life is suffounded by mystery than to live in a world so small that my scorpion mind could comprehend it. " \n\nScorpio man is a good organizer and leader, because Scorpio man enjoy pioneering new projects, have the foresight to make long-range plans and can direct them to the finish. Patience, tolerance and compassion are the keys to Scorpio man success. Scorpio man could find satisfying work in the martial arts, police force, armed forces, surgery, dentistry, alternative healing, psychic counseling, psychiatry and mechanics. Working in the entertainment industry could provide an excellent outlet for Scorpio man creative or artistic abilities. \n\n\nIn this day I as scorpio man will grasp hold of the moments I lost so many times before as words rolled off my tongue penetrating the ears and hearts of those whom I wanted to hurt and did. \n\nIn this day Scorpio man choose living not just for the sake of passing time. Scorpio man choose to take advantage of the milliseconds between Scorpio man breath and Scorpio man sigh. \n\n\nScorpio man keep these nutrition tips in mind: Always to drink lots of water, especially if Scorpio man is traveling, Scorpio man decide what to eat before going in and being tempted, Scorpio man try to eat at least 3 times per day to avoid becoming famished and overeating, Scorpio man bring along portable healthy natural snacks, splurge a couple times but try and be good for the other organic meals! \n\n\nThe Scorpio Man is a law unto himself. He learns early on to trust nobody, and he makes his way in life without relying on the help of anyone. He is ambitious, strong-willed, full of drive, and initiative. But one reason why he is so independent and self-reliant is that, like the Cancerian, he has a very vulnerable inner being under his hard outer shell. And because he is the least forgiving man in the zodiac, he prefers never to run the risk of being hurt. So, keep way clear of any emotional involvement unless you seriously plan to spend your whole life with him.

I know the after book 2, the remaining books are long, but wouldnt it be worth it to try and encompass as much as possible from the books.  I still think the GOF was an amazing movie, but I would like to have seen it broken into two movies or one really long one with an intermission.  It just feels that we are missing so much.  To a person who hasnt read the books, the movies would probably be wonderful, but being a person who has read them, I would like to see more attention to detail from the book.

i do think the movies should be more close to the books... but i also know it would be too difficult to do it... but i guess there's when the creative side of the filmmakers get into action...they should try to find the way to do it as close as the book as possible... as a conclusion i just wanna say that i was a bit dissapointed of the last movie... they took out so many things

I have been programming on my own for several months now.  Using HTML, CSS, PHP and more recently C#.  However, Ive recently learned that I could use a hand learning about advanced data structures and not I'm not sure where to start.  I dont know any other languages and sadly all the books ive found are in C or C++.\n\nYour help is appreciated.

If you are really serious about programming, you should learn about data structures and algorithms independent of a programming language. Languages come and go, but the underlying principals remain the same.\n\nThey are a little hard to read and you can't cut and past any examples, but the definitive references for data structures and algorithms are Donald Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming," volumes 1, 2, and 3.

What is the easiest and most effective procedure to copy a DVD to your hard drive for later viewing?  Are there legal issues in performing this kind of backup?

I prefer "DVD Shrink" it is very simple and easy to find online. It takes the movie you have loads it either to your hard drive or a back up disk. A lot of websites that have it usually have a tutorial that goes along with it. Give it a try and see how you like it. I have never had any problems from it at all.

O.k., so say I have a website, foo.com.  On this website, I link to the photos section, foo.com/photos.htm.  If I put an off website redirect (say, http://fee.com/foo.com/photos.htm), can fee.com get its cookies while performing the redirect?

Yes. Notice that the browser does not know its a redirect until the server replies with an HTTP response code for a redirect (301, 302, etc). So fee.com can get the fee.com cookie (but not the foo.com cookie), then it can bounce the user along to foo.com.


instead of doing any actual research people just ask questions.  It's good for the person asking but who wastes their time answering these questions and why?

Because it gives some us with nothing to do, something to do. And sometimes, there are really good questions that are just fun to answer.


I know Greg Noll had his pic taken on a wave 40+ feet high at Wiamea Bay. Since that famous shot was taken I have heard about places off Baja, possibly Todos Santos, which is accessible only by boat and jet skiis. Some of the surf there gets up to 65 feet. Could that be the place?? I don't know. If you have any pictures or can provide a website where I can find this info it would be appreciated. Thanks!!

It depends on what you define as "riding a wave". There are "tow-in" sufers who rely on "jetskis" to tow them into waves. These waves are so large and travel so fast that it is impossible for a human-propelled board to match its speed. The traditionalist of the sport do not consider that truly "surfing the wave". There is a contest that awards, both the surfer and photographer a monetary award if they can produce a picture proving they rode the biggest wave. I do know in the past that a prize was awarded to a team capturing a picture at Todos Santos. \n\nPeahi aka Jaws, off of Maui is arguably the largest waves ridden. Check out the site below to get an idea of what monsters these guys are riding. Traditional surfing or tow-in, these waves are huge!!!!\n\nhttp://www.billabongxxl.com/06/index.asp?regid=NA


Languages that come to mind are PHP, Python, Perl, Javascript and Ruby. Free isn't a bad thing either. Don't really know the distinctions between the different languages.

I'd suggest Ruby. Four reasons..\n\n1. It could turn into more than fun. While it's fun, there's a rapidly growing market for it, and you'd be ahead of the curve.\n\n2. It's simply a fun language. You can be really meta, override standard classes, and do all sorts of cool tricks. It's logical, yet extensible, and you can almost turn it into your own language.\n\n3. Most Ruby coders tend to be quite amusing and humorous.. for an example start reading the "Poignant Guide to Ruby" for an amusing comic-book-esque introduction to Ruby : http://poignantguide.net/ruby/\n\n4. You can start using Ruby right now, online! See: http://tryruby.hobix.com/

It isn't to hard to figure out probabilities for a deck of cards well playing different games. Like whats the probability of having black jack with one deck of cards. This is assuming that each time you deal the cards, the cards have been shuffled randomly. So a computer or a auto shuffler is the best for that. My question is, if your playing cards with a friend and you shuffle cards with your hands, are the odds of hitting black jack the same as with a computer random generation? Would you take into factor that people do not do a good job of shuffling which could lead to the deck of cards having a sorta memory to them? Like the ace of diamonds and the King of clubs might stay near each other for a few rounds of shuffles and deals? How would you calculate or figure out a probability pattern if this is true?


you have the numbers, 1, 5, 5, and 5.  Must  use each number once and only once.  Can only use *, +, -, or /.  Make 24

For those of you unfamiliar with Raelian philosophy, they believe that we have no souls -- that we were created by an extra-terrestrial race. But, they claim that we achieve ever-lasting life through cloning; i.e., we can transport our knowledge, personality, and experience into new clone bodies after we die.\n\nI have heard no uttering of the word "consciousness". I even emailed them about this, and the answers I got confused me more. Isn't consciousness what makes us people? Without it, we are plants.\n\nThey said a human being can exist in two or more bodies at once! This seems odd to me. Does anybody else feel that transporting the "contents of your brain" into multiple clones would not result in eternal life, but rather just a series of clones who think they are the dead person? It seems to me that this process would not save anybody or grant them eternal life -- you're still dead, regardless of how they try to copy & paste the contents of your brain into another one.

I found an interesting article on Raelian Philosophy at TIME.com:


I've got a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz chip and I want to put together a dual display setup.  I've already got onboard video and I'm wondering which card to get to run the other monitor (assuming one of my monitors CAN be onboard video with a dual setup?).  I have PCI slots open as well as AGP.  I'm looking to spend between $50-$100, and I want to purchase it from Newegg.  I'll be using it for Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and other various desktop publishing tools.  The card will be hooked up to either a 17" LCD or a 19" CRT.

It's possible to do a dual-display setup with your computer but there are some things you should know.\n\n* AGP cards are exclusive so it definitely won't share with your on-board video.\n* Some systems are designed to disable on-board video when another video card is inserted (PCI or AGP).  It's hard to tell if your system will do that.\n\nNo problem though, you just need to buy a video card with two video outputs.  I'm familiar with nvidia cards and I know for certain that dual-display is supported in the software so any nvidia card would work as long as two VGA outputs are present on the card.  If you plan to connect to one CRT and one LCD with DVI connector, you can use this card then (see picture):\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121184\n\nIf you are doing two CRTs, however, you'll need something like this where they include a DVI-to-VGA adaptor:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814168002\n\nYou can also look for dual-VGA video cards like this one but I'm not familiar with ATI products and how easy it is to set it up:\n\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814161150

An acquaintance of mine sent me an email recently asking for information with respect to immigrating to Australia from Iran. The person in question was asking on behalf of their friend (who is of course Iranian). Here is the actual email.\n\n"scott, I am a sort that helps friends quite often.I hope I could continue like this!...But now I have an internet freind who Is Iranian, and wishes to come to Australia and stay there. He is in charge of webmanagement in an Iranian company now. You know,I am half french half British, I told him about immigration laws getting tough here..He is so sad..thinks that the world is ending!SO I though I should do something! You c ,I am helping 2 families now and fostering a young girl, I cant take any more! but I can investigate and find meansto help him..Please tell me, how is it ,if he wants to come there?What would be the requirements?and how could one immigrate to your place?\ncheers!"\n\nSo, can anyone here give me information to pass on? Thanks.

Your best bet is to look up the closest branch of the Australian Consulate office in your country of residence.  They can provide you and your friend all of the information that you would need about becoming a citizen of Australia.


I saw a bumper sticker on the way to work this morning that stated, "...homelessness is a moral issue." I suspect that the statement was a political one, based on the other bumper stickers. What is the relationship of morality and government?

Both are about values and right and wrong, but ethical usually is more related to professional behavior where morality is more personal.  Government, to me, should act ethically.  When government gets "moral", I feel like they are taking on more personal beliefs.  As a government, I think we need to be ethical about right and wrong, as long as those definitions are universals instead of those related to a scripture.

I recently had an experience with a guy from work. We were working late and he somehow ended up giving me a foot message. It was passionate and a very erotic feeling. We didn't kiss or have any other sexual contact, but we were both turned on. My skirt was lifted a little but my pantyhose never came down. It happened so fast, I'm embarrassed. I have a live-in boyfriend for 2 years. Did I just cheat on him?

Although I kind of agree with Tom up there, I have to say that the last statement was a bit harsh. Anyway, I'll say that "No!” you didn’t cheat but you’re skating mighty close. The fact that you didn't go into it with the exact intentions of doing anything wrong, you did stay into it after it became rather steamy. You should ask yourself that if your "live-in boyfriend" were to be in a similar incident what would you say and if you do something that you feel that you can't share with him ask yourself why. I'm sure you'll get the answer you’re looking for. So from now on leave the massages to little Korean women in small boutiques.


I have close to 300 DVD's I have stopped buying them at the moment. There are ten more that I must get. I'm not addicted I just enjoy having any movie I like at arms length.

My cousin has over a thousand.  His New Year's resolution will be to stop buying them.  So this weeks he's stocking up and buying everything.\n\nI have over 300 as well. My roommate says I don't need them and that it's pointless. But I like having them close by.  If I feel the urge to watch "The Truman Show" or episode 315 of "Friends", I know they're there for me.\nI also like having stuff (Shopaholic!!)

That depends - Disposable or not, Digital or film, what kind of depth, what is your budget, why do you need accessories?, inbuilt flash, is this going to be used for Diving or just swimming - snorkelling?\n\nSeaLife, Sea & Sea, Nikon, Cannon, Sony are all makes to look at, then look at Underwater housing manufacturers like Ikolite to fit some regular cameras.

the "who so beareth this sign about him, all spirits shall do him homage" symbol on page 153 of The Complete Book of Magic & Witchcraft by Kathryn Paulsen is but one of a pair of symbols called the "Seales of the Earth", required to summon spirits... listed just before chapter eight in Reginald Scott's The Discoverie of Witchcraft, London, 1655.\n\nhttp://www.esotericarchives.com/solomon/scot16.htm


I want to buy a house and am tired of renting. Is there any help for people like me and where. How much money do you need up front for say an $80.000 house?

First off if you filed Bankruptcy and left out some creditors you must pay them back.  So you need to call them and set up a payment plan.  you need to get your credit score over 600 before anyone will talk to you about home ownership and to buy an $80,000 home you should try to have $15,000 in savings.  If you are a vet or can apply for a down payment grant you can get by with less, but even a zero down loan needs 3-5k for closing costs.

WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHEN;AN HOW MUCH WILL I RECEIVE?

You will have to wait till when the deadline is over because how much you get depends on how many people apply and how much the state has.  And it is state, not government.  Because, out of state people get nothing from them.  So, its state.  And whatever the government kicks in for everybody, thats what they kick in.  No complaints because it was free money from the start anyways.  Um, usually you are covered because college students levels dont flunctuate in a year so funding is always about the same as what you got last year.  But, its different in the second year because youre not a clean slate anymore.  Some get good grades and some done.  I paid something every single year I was in college.  Not much thouhg.  Like 2 grand a year for everything.  During my 4th year, I became out of state.  So, instead of 10,500, it was 18,000 for the full package.  As it turns out, the state wanted me to stay because I was becoming a top student, being mentored by a rhodes scholar nominee and all.  So, I paid nothing.  And I got 91 dollars back.


What is snuff?\n\nApart from murder, and Copenhagen snuff, snuff is any powder prepared for sniffing.  Of course, the main use of the term is for powdered tobacco.\n\nTobacco snuff is made by selecting tobacco leaf (and also sometimes tobacco stalk, as in e.g. Irish High Dry Toast) and disintegrating it into a coarse powder.  It is next ground in a manual or mechanical mill, and then sieved.  Various essential oils may then be added for flavouring, after which it is stored in airtight containers to allow the flavour to permeate uniformly.\n\nWay back, individuals used to have their own little snuff mills, grinding their snuff fresh from a tobacco plug (called a "carotte")\n\nCopenhagen "snuff" is very coarse milled tobacco, not sniffed but put under the lower lip\n\nDry snuff is fine, almost powdery tobacco and is placed in the nose and sniffed.\n\nWhat are the health risks of using smokeless tobacco?\nSmokeless tobacco is not a safe substitute for smoking cigarettes. Nicotine and other harmful chemicals found in tobacco are NOT removed by spitting; they mix with saliva which, after contact with tissues of the mouth and throat, is absorbed through the oral mucous into the bloodstream. It can cause cancer and a number of non-cancerous oral conditions and can lead to nicotine addiction and dependence. Oral cancer (especially in the cheeks, gums and throat) may be 50 times more likely in people who use smokeless tobacco. Oral cancer is a particularly deadly form of cancer, killing 30% to 50% of its victims within 5 years.\n\nLeukoplakia (leathery white patches inside the mouth) are a result of direct contact with and continued irritation by tobacco juice. Just a few months of dipping or chewing is often enough to cause leukoplakia on the gum or cheek where the tobacco is held. Approximately 5% of diagnosed cases of leukoplakia develop into oral cancer.\n\nDental problems such as receding gums, tooth decay, loss of teeth, worn spots on the enamel, discolored teeth and bad breath are common among users of smokeless tobacco. They also experience a decreased sense of taste and smell.\n\nWhat are warning signs to look for?\nIf you use smokeless tobacco, you should see a medical provider if you experience any of the following symptoms:\n\n    * A sore in the mouth that bleeds easily and doesn't heal\n    * A lump or thickening anywhere in the mouth or neck\n    * Any soreness or swelling in your mouth that doesn't go away\n    * A red or white patch that doesn't go away\n    * Difficulty chewing, swallowing or moving your tongue or jaw\n\nQuitting\nThere are a variety of techniques for quitting smokeless tobacco. Whether you choose to quit "cold turkey" or go slowly by "nicotine fading," you can decrease any discomfort you may feel as you quit. Follow these tips:\n\n    * Choose a time to quit. Don't pick a time when there's a high level of stress in your life; you could be setting yourself up for failure. For example, don't try to quit during exams.\n    * Think about why you started using smokeless tobacco in the first place. Is it a way of coping with stress? Is it a habit in certain situations? Do you use it when you're bored? Do certain times of the day trigger an urge to use?\n    * When the urge to use strikes you, interrupt it. Develop strategies for dealing with triggers, urges and social pressure. Substitute other things for tobacco, such as sugarless gum, snacks or deep breathing if you chew to relieve stress. You can modify your behavior by using techniques such as relaxation, exercise, cognitive awareness and stress management.\n    * Ask friends, family or teammates for support. They can help you get beyond triggers and celebrate your successes along the way.\n    * The physical desire for nicotine is not something you can "unlearn" but you have several options for handling withdrawal. You can quit all at once and tough out the days when your bo


F1 is caring, intelligent, sensitive, shares hobbies with you, sends nice bday cards, gifts. You kind of understand each other, but she does not know a few things about you, habits etc. She looks like an ideal person who can make good decisions and would be good to you always. Her family likes you as well.\n\nF2 is caring, sharp, and understanding. You talk a lot to each other, almost on daily basis, share secrets and talks openly about everything. you make each other laugh a lot, and you have fought at times.

Communication is a major part of any relationship and being able to talk with someone almost on a daily basis is a great quality.  And the fact that you can disagree and still move on and have a strong relationship tells me to put my money on Friend 2

The median of a data set is always one of the data values. \n**** & if you can also explain it to me plz****

If you have an odd number of numbers, it's true.\nE.g., given the set:   1,   2,   3\nthe median is 2.\n\nIf you have an even number of numbers, it's false.\nE.g., given the set:  1,   2,   3,   4\nthe median is 2 1/2  (the average of 2 and 3)


That is, without fear of them stealing my idea. I would really like to know. Thank you to anyone who can help.

You can protect your idea by filing a provisional claim with the USPTO. This is kind of like a "patent lite" and allows you to protect the product for up to a year.  The cost is US$200 and should be done straight away. Visit the PTO website for information on filing applications electronically. \n\nAfter that, prepare yourself for a tremendous uphill battle. If this is a design patent (i.e. a new form of an existing product), you will find it difficult to locate interested buyers. If this is a utility patent (a new product or process), you will need to find companies within the industry and see if they are interested. \n\nYou will want to get a hold of a standard NDA/NC (Non-Disclosure Agreement / Non-Compete). These are fairly boilerplate and should be easy to locate on the 'net. Requiring NDA's is STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURE when shopping around an idea and manufacturers are generally comfortable signing them. If a manufacturer refuses to sign, WALK AWAY. There is something wrong. An NDA is no guarantee that a company won't steal your idea, but at least it provides evidence of due dilligence during any potential infringement lawsuit.\n\nSearch the various government department websites for grant applications. The government is always looking to foster the development of new ideas that can potentially benefit the nation. There are grants for both non-profit and for-profit company's available and some even include grants for "concept development and R&D". \n\nBarring that, you may want to consider some form of rapid prototyping. Depending on the invention idea, this could be a short production run of the product, some kind of stereo lithography or other RP, or a "proof of concept" 3-D model, engineering analysis, etc. Having a physical, working prototype that a potential buyer can see, touch and interact with is FAR more impressive than a napkin sketch. Be prepared to spend $1-10K on a prototype. Well worth the investment, because if a picture is worth 1,000 words, a prototype is worth 1,000,000.\n\nGood Luck!

Hello, I would like to setup a live mirror of my inhouse unix server to another offsite server. To clarify this I would like it so that anytime new files or records are created they would be created also on the offsite server at the same time via a internet connection.\nThank you

Sounds like your looking for a continuous availability solution.  It depends on the platform.\nAn "active active" clustered solution may do the trick.  Fundamentally were talking about syncing disk across some geographic area.  EMC offers a solution called SRDF/A that allows you to maintain\nidentical systems.  It's a headache to set up but it works like a charm.\n\nGood Luck.


I am trying to connect my Samsung dh-500 cell phone to my Toshiba m-65 PC w/o any luck. cannot get a connection

Bluetooth is a telecommunications industry specification that describes how mobile phones, computers, and personal digital assistants (PDAs) can be easily interconnected using a short-range wireless connection. Using this technology, users of cellular phones, pagers, and personal digital assistants can buy a three-in-one phone that can double as a portable phone at home or in the office, get quickly synchronized with information in a desktop or notebook computer, initiate the sending or receiving of a fax, initiate a print-out, and, in general, have all mobile and fixed computer devices be totally coordinated. \nBluetooth requires that a low-cost transceiver chip be included in each device. The tranceiver transmits and receives in a previously unused frequency band of 2.45 GHz that is available globally (with some variation of bandwidth in different countries). In addition to data, up to three voice channels are available. Each device has a unique 48-bit address from the IEEE 802 standard. Connections can be point-to-point or multipoint. The maximum range is 10 meters. Data can be exchanged at a rate of 1 megabit per second (up to 2 Mbps in the second generation of the technology). A frequency hop scheme allows devices to communicate even in areas with a great deal of electromagnetic interference. Built-in encryption and verification is provided. \n\nThe technology got its unusual name in honor of Harald Bluetooth, king of Denmark in the mid-tenth century.\nOpen your control panel and find the "System" icon.Afterwards, find the "Device Manager" under "Hardware." After that, simply search for the infrared device. It will be easy to find from there if you have one. (Most especially if you are running Windows XP, but this will work with any os.)

taking into account the democratic governments, increased average income and human rights, do you think that humanbeings will be smarter or dimmer 1000 years later?\n\ndo you think that democracy slows down the human cognitive evolution?

As far as booksmarts & the ability to multitask goes, we will be smarter. As far as common sense, I believe that we have already gotten dimmer over even the last ten years. The ease of technology on our everyday lives, I think, is undermining our common sense & street smarts :)\n\nGood question!

This can be helpful for users who are frequently needing to enter their username and password. However, can also be a security risk if that computer is used or accessible by other users. \n\nhttp://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000604.htm


Why should i trust the theory of evolution when Darwin himself said that if there was evidence to prove that lifeforms were more complicated than it was supposed there were - evolution was wrong. and when he said that if no evidence was found in the earth for evolution - it was wrong. and why do evolutionists hang on to their belief when there is no proof???

Evidence for evolution:\n\nHomologous proteins\nThe near universality of the genetic code (eg the relation between codons and amino acids)\nGenetic drift in non-essential parts of homologous proetiens\nDNA technology that can show relationship\nDevelopmental homology (ie ontogeny and it's relationship to phylogeny)\n\nThe interesting thing about most of these points of evidence is that it was predicted by Darwin's theory even though Darwin had no way of knowing about genes or biochemistry at all.  Evolution as a theory is merely commonality of descent, and this evidence here is all evidence of evolution.  It doesn't necessarily say that evolution is directed by natural selection, and it certainly doesn't say anything about the origin of life itself or God.  But in experimental science, we can see evolution occuring, and natural selection is one of the major ways of that evolution (the other being artificial selection).\n\nSo when you take the reality of evolution--that is, the commonality of descent amoung all living things--as supported by a great deal of evidence, and you look for possible ways of directing that evolution, natural selection is the only theory that expalins it with existing observable phenomena.\n\nIf you have a better way of explaining it with existing observable phenomena, and it fits all known data better than Darwin's evolution by natural selection, then by all means, let's hear it.  Otherwise, you're objection is not to just evidence, but to SCIENCE ITSELF and the SCIENTIFIC METHOD.  And I'm very sorry, but this method has been for too useful to abandon right now.\n\nYou have a complaint with science and think you have a better way?  I'd like to hear it.  OItherwise, you must face the reality that as of today evolution is an indispensible part of the scientific body of knowledge, along with Newton's descriptions of dynamics, Maxwell's electromagnetic principles, the three laws of thermodynamics, and Mendel's theories of genetic sorting.

About 2 weeks ago I had unprotected vaginal sex. (I`m an idiot. I know.) I immediatly began to stress over having an STD. I read all the symptoms on them and seemed to have none. \n\nAbout 5 days after my encounter, I began to feel a nervous/adrenaline feeling in my legs. This may have been due to me being nervous about having an STD or could just have been in my head.\n\nThe next day, I came down with a fever (100 F or so.) This fever persiste for about 3 days.\n\nMy groin began to itch at about day 7 but nothing serious. There was no rash or any visible bumps or sores. \n\nIt has been 13 days now. My fever is long gone, my legs no longer are nervous (Probably due to me being less stressed about it.) My groin does not itch at all.\n\nI did however begin to have a slight pain in my groin area today. Could this be an STD even though I have had no sores or lesions, or is this just a coincidence. Am I worried about nothing?

The only way to know if you have an STD is to get tested for one.


Which is better to get a management degree or to get one in a particular area?

I am going to be living in DC from January and really want to learn to ski. I am on a budget, but don't want to go extra cheap.

The best place would be "near where you are".\nThe reason being: you'd want to take several sessions over a period of time (a season, or once a week for 6 or 8 or 10 weeks), therefore having "easy access" to a hill would be my first criteria.\n\nSecond consideration: what level are you at now, and therefore, which determines what level of instruction you need.\n\nE.g. most hills/resorts offer begginer skier training, and do a reasonable job at it.  When it comes to expert level skiing, one would be more scrupulous in selecting coaches.\n\nMost ski resorts also offer packages (rent+learn) that are reasonably priced, that also gives one a chance to try out different equipment.\n\nBottom line:\nfor complete beginner, start at the nearest place, possibly with the "best package deal" available, and get comfortable with the basics of skiing. Then you're ready to explore the pleasures of skiing further afield.  That's when you'd really want to start driving/flying to other really neat skiing places!


I have nieghbor's draining water on my property. I was wonder how I can stop them.

Your local ordinances may cover this, but I would think that any deliberate attempt by the neighbor to drain water on your land would not be legal--at least without your permission.\n\nThe only way to know for sure is to talk to a local attorney who should be able to give you a quick and definitive answer.


I think my 6-year-old is having chicken pox. Is there anything I can do best for her? Probably an injection to make the duration shorter or even to make it cease immediately.

No- there is nothing to make it cease immediately.  Healthy children with chickenpox may need only home treatment. This includes taking acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) or ibuprofen (such as Advil) to reduce fever and discomfort and taking nonprescription oral medications or using lotions to reduce itching. Medical treatment may include a shot of chickenpox antibodies to delay or prevent a person from having chickenpox, and also may include antiviral medication to shorten the length of the disease. The chickenpox (varicella-zoster) vaccine also can be given if you have been exposed to chickenpox; this treatment may prevent you from having the illness. It is recommended that the vaccine be given within 3 days after exposure to chickenpox.  Calamine lotion and Aveeno (oatmeal) baths may help relieve some of the itching.

How to know server name in the settings for Outlook Express

This is information that your Internet Service Provider should have (or have given you).  They should have that information available to you on their support site, or by calling a tech support number.  I would check their website first.  I wish I could help more, but every ISP has a unique mailserver name, and you have to either obtain it from them, or another subscriber.\n\nI'm assuming you are trying to enter the POP3 server name.  If you're trying to locate it in Outlook Express, go to the Tools menu and select Accounts..., then click the Mail tab.  Select the email account you want, and click Properties.  Click the Servers tab, and the server name will be there.

Public companies are not required to disclose that type of information.  More often than not when a growing company signs a big deal with a major supplier there's a press release.  Do some research into the press releases of the companies that you are trying to analyze.

Furqan is derived from 'faroqo'(fah-ro-qoh) which literally means group or grouping. It is Arabic. \n\nFor Al-Quran, it means separating the good from the bad or not mixing both. To tell people which is right and wrong. To tell people the truth about what really happened. If you compared Al-Quran with other religious books, I assure you that you will get the most rational answers from Al-Quran if you are ready to accept the truth and to be honest.\n\nBut beware of the True Furqan which is a fake yet weak book published by Orientalist to challenge Al-Quran. If you are a wise person, you will not be cheated by it and will find the book nonsense.


Now i am not liking yahoo answers! After seeing the"tell me more" section (below "My points") they have put a limit on questions and answers and reduced the points also. What do u think about it?

The limit has always been there, but now you can answer more points per level.  The reason is that if there was no such system, a spammer can create a new id and spam the system with hundreds of irrelevant questions and answers.  This way, when you get above a certain level, you've built some trust in the community and you get to ask/answer more questions.\n\nYou'll see some changes in the point systems as Yahoo! fine tunes the product.  It is still in beta, after all.

I'm not a US citizen and I don't have any police or military knowledge and experience but I'm always eager to be one. Too bad that I can't become one at my country because of several reason, so my target is to become a police at another country or FBI. May be you think that I'm weird, but I really like "kind of social/service" work that get reasonably high paid. I have been searching the answer quite a while on internet but I'm still lack of the information. Could anyone please explain me the detailed step to become a FBI agent (or join the police force, preferably at U.S). Thank you very much.

You can't join the FBI unless you're a citizen.\n\nTo carry out its mission, the FBI needs men and women who can fill a variety of demanding positions. To qualify as an FBI Special Agent, you must be a U.S. citizen, or a citizen of the Northern Mariana Islands, at least 23 and not have reached your 37th birthday on appointment. Candidates must be completely available for assignment anywhere in the FBI's jurisdiction. Candidates need to have at least 20/20 vision in one eye and not worse than 20/40 vision in the other eye. If an individual has a satisfactory history of soft contact lens wear and is able to meet correction to 20/20 in one eye and no worse than 20/40 in the other eye, safety concerns are considered mitigated and applicant processing may continue. In addition, policy for color vision allows continuation of applicant processing if those who fail initial color vision screening are able to successfully complete the Farnsworth D-15 color vision test.\n\nI can't say for all police departments, but my guess is the same thing.  For example, the San Jose police requirements include US citizenship or at least application for citizenship.\n\nhttps://www.eomniform.com/servlet/FillForm/Personnel_Recruiting/PolRec2006

Seems like when I have a problem or a good idea its when I wake up in the middle of the night. Any thoughts on this?

Sometimes what happens is that when your sleep, the idea you have in your sleep seems a lot better than it does if you have it when you are more coherent.  The people in the bar get better-looking when you've had a few drinks; the ideas in your head seem better when you are half-asleep.

hey i dont remember the name of one movie that i saw many years ago (maybe 5?) so i remember some details i hope you'll help me with the name.\n\nwas about 3 friends (two men and a woman) of high school but many years later in beverly hills \ntwo of them were couple \none of them was addict to cocaine i think and had many problems with the dealer, he spent all his money and his father doesn't want to help him (when he went to his father to ask him for money the father was playing tennis) also he tried to steal the jewelery of the mather of the second friend, i remember that in a scene he was paying the dealer (having sex with him) and the other friend went to stop him what else........ the other man had a beautiful convertible car (a cobra i think) and the movie finished when the three friends were in the car on way to some place and the addict dies.\n\nhope you can help me

It is interesting that should ask what seems like a rather devious question. In order to buy over the internet, you will need, at a minimum, the full card number, the additional three digit code, the correct spelling of the card holder's name, and the exact address to which the credit card bill is sent. Some sites ask for more. Now give your Mom her card back.


looing for safty for a friend for her to go underground with her children

Why does she need to go underground for safety? I think this is the more pertinent question. If there is something life-threatening for her and her children's lives, authorities need to be contacted and informed. There's no reason for this poor mother and her children to be living in fear.


I want to send someone a text message but I dont have a cell phone and I heard that we could send them from a computer but I dont know how to do it and I need help.

Do you use AIM? If you do, you can add the friend's cell phone number on the buddy list by going to "Setup" and then "Buddy List Setup" and click on "Add mobile." You can send it to any phone that accepts text messages.\n\nIf you do not use AIM you can find out the email addresses that are standard for phone service provider but you would have to know what provider your friend has. Like Verizon: [phone number]@vtext.com or Cingular: [phone number]@mobile.mycingular.com. For T-mobile, your friend would have to give you address because they can change the phone number portion of the address.\n\nOr maybe try a site like this one:\nhttp://www.smseverywhere.com/?moreinfo\nHowever, I have never used that so I don't know anything about it.

Im bored out of my mind. Where should I go?

stay here and ask questions, you will be entertained. I was like you before and now I spend all my time here answering and asking questions. trust me.


I have stock options I'm not sure if I should hold onto to sell now.

So Can you guys help me and give me advice?

As a registered nurse, I will say that it does depend on what exactly is wrong with you.  I do like the advice of taking your father with you to see the doctor.  Maybe it is your tonsils, maybe not.  Take your dad with you and go see a doctor.  Depending on your insurance you should go see your general practice doctor first then a specialist (ENT doctor).


why can't I find biography form sue kerman?

I used Thompson/Gale's Biography Resource Center and I can only find these people with that last name:\n\nKerman, Cynthia Earl (American writer, 1923-)\nKerman, Joseph Wilfred (English writer, 1924-)\nKerman, Judith (Berna) (American writer, 1945-)\nKerman, Sheppard (American writer, 1928-1991)\n\nWorldcat, an online union catalog of almost all of the libraries with electronic catalogs in the world does have an author name Sue (note the spelling difference) Kerman.   Perhaps this is the person you are looking for? \n\nYou may have to correct the spelling or if you are sure of the spelling check other biographical resources.  Your local librarian can certainly help. \n\nGood luck!


Some of my friends think India is in Mid-East, they think it's communist claim all Asians are Nerds from Dictatorships, believe all of Africa, South American and Asia is poverty and cannot face the reality that USA has huge amount of Foreign Debts.

For all of America's weath and influence, for all of its powerful media, we are surprisingly isolated from the world.  What's more, we are still very slowing climbing out of the cultural muck that has allowed many of us to believe we are literally superior to the rest of the world.\n\nAmerica continues to behave arrogantly to the world, insisting we always know best, and our interests should be always honored.  It has done a great deal of harm to us the past 15 year in my opinion.\n\nIf only some of us could see ourselves in the eyes of those around us in the world.  Of course, most of us are so conceited and self-involved that we couldn't care less.

When you click on download attachments,you'll wait a few seconds until a small dialogue box will be displayed where you'll be given an option of either opening or saving directly.Whatever you choose should be put into action immediately.But if it doesn't download,you can check your computer settings by going to TOOLS at the bar on top of the window,open internet options,go to Security,then custom level.There you'll see maybe the download process had been disabled or still enabled.


whats the ideal age range to date someone is 28 to old for 20? or 19? or 21?

I would think off the top of my head that 28 is too old for 20. Since i turned 20, which was only five years ago i experienced the biggest growth area in my life {so far}. When i turn 28 i expect to have undergone many more changes which i consider to be a great deal more then i knew or really could relate to at 20.  Now not to say that you cant be in a relationship that has common ground in an eight year difference,just saying at this point in my life i cant imagine being with someone eight years younger than me. I would think that no matter the maturity of the person the age always comes into play and vice versa. Basically if you are attracted to someone in this age group go for it, have fun, and be in the now, its experiences that really teach you anything any way, not what someone else has to say about theirs.

what can one take to help reduce astigmatism?

Persons who tend to develop keloids should avoid cosmetic procedures to their skin. If surgery is necessary, an injection of cortisone can be made into the skin first. This may lower the risk of developing a keloid.\n\nUnless it is extreme, astigmatism can be compensated for satisfactorily with eyeglasses or contact lenses.

I already know the lyrics, and I have a pretty good idea of what it's about; I just wanted 2 see what u guys thought.

Hello Firebyrd! You are my friend now that I know that you are a die hard LP fan like me. It is always a pleasure to talk with other LP fans and share their views. Actually "Points Of Authority" is about a war between two groups of machines in which neither is the victor because some strange power arises out of the earth and kills both parties (It's in the video!). You can search for it at www.morpheus.com\n\nI'll tell you the lyrics-\n\nForfiet the game/before somebody else/takes you outta the frame/puts your name to shame/cover up your face/you cant run the race/the pace is too fast/you just wont last\n\nYou love the way I look at you\nWhile taking pleasure in the aweful things you put me through\nYou take away when I give in\nMy life, my pride, is broken\n\nYou like to think you're never wrong\nYou have to act like you're someone\nYou want someone to act like you\nYou wanna share what you've been through\nYou live what you learn\n\nP.S.- Dont mind my giving the lyrics.


I go to 24 Hour Fitness 5 times a week.\nI am interested in a girl who comes regularly.\nWhat should I do to flirt with her?

don't be condescending or know-it-all.  i've heard from women that the best way for a guy to approach them at the gym is to ask the woman for advice on doing an exercise.  lots of them hate it when a guy comes up and starts correcting their form or whatever.  \n\nalso keep in mind that some gyms are pick-up spots, and some gyms are just places people go to exercise.  if you try to pick someone up at the latter you are likely to simply annoy or get shot down.  also, try to size her up before you talk to her.  is she chatty or does she wear headphones and not talk to anyone?  if she isn't much of a talker she probably isn't looking for a boyfriend at the gym and may simply rule you out automatically.\n\nyour best bet is probably to just say hi when you see her next and, if she is at the gym often, say you've seen her around a lot and compliment her dedication.  smile, be nice and thoughtful, and if she gives signs that she's not interested, back off and leave it at that.  this is how you avoid being creepy gym guy.\n\ngood luck!


Hi All,\n\nI would like to have some idea on "How to start your investments"\n\nRegards

Gold is always a good bet, and now it seem the price will be going up for several year. also, if you are willing to take a slight risk, look into nanotechnology, seems to be the wave of the future.


For example: LONG and thick or short and thin.


I don't know if there's specific ettiquite for this and would like to know.

As an employer I distinctly prefer one page resumes. Be succint and make it one page.


she is 6 weeks preg, and we broke up 3 weeks ago.  cant seem to get over this.  He is a complete jurk.  But I thought she was my best friend, so I think that she has hurt me even more then the boyfriend/father of my child.

That is really tough and I'm sorry you had to experience it.  It's a leasson in life for you - be careful who you give your trust to in the future. Always be aware of human nature - and the ego aspect. \n\nIf it helps you any, she will get what she deserves from all this betrayal....perhaps the two of them deserve each other - and each will never be able to trust the other, knowing what they've done behind your back.\n\nAs for you, hold your head high and let people see that you are happy to be far away from two such sneaks as the two of them.  \n\nIn time, you will find someone who really deserves you, and would never treat you in such a way. Then you will not give this whole thing a second thought except in gratitude.

I just started taking glucosomine for my joints, but seriously almost all of my joints hurt. The worst ones are my jaw, elbows, knees, ankles and fingers. I will wake up in the middle of the night with extreme elbow pain. I had a baby 7 months ago, but had milder joint pain before- since the baby, the pain is more intense. I don't excersise like I should, and am still overweight from having the baby.  Is there something else I can do or eat?  Overall, I'm a healthy person. There is no swelling or heat on the joints themselves.

Sounds like the baby had some effect on you.  I'm not saying 35 is old, it was my favorite age, but having a baby takes an awful lot out of you (I'll bet you noticed that without me saying it).  Then you're not sleeping right and definitely not excercising like you should, and the extra weight.  All that can add up to some unusual problems for you.  If it's severe you ought to see a doctor who will take a good look at it and maybe try to rule out arthritis.  Not a doctor that likes to prescribe pain pills for everything, that'll cause more problems.


am trying to find out the dollar amount owed to tickets...online....

If you have an outstanding warrant for unpaid traffic tickets, it'll be difficult to find that amount online without paying a search service (linked below) that may or may not provide helpful information.  Your best bet is to call the city or jurisdiction where you received the tickets and ask how much is due.  They may tell you a dollar figure, or they may require bond be posted and that you appear before a judge who will then total the fines due only after a court appearance.  Usually, with an outstanding warrant, a dollar figure is not determined until you've faced a judge.


Both of my friends are fighting all the time about the smallest things every single day. I want to help, but it seems like nothing will stop them. What should I do?

Right in the middle of an "argument" jump in & point out to both of them that they fight & argue constantly. Point out the fact that it is very childish & how tired you are of it. Whatever the underlying problem is between them should/will surface....once that surfaces, it can be resolved & harmony restored.


my son received a gift of a Black Angus Bankers Portfolio for christmas.It inclueds four uncut 1 dollar bills with a masterpiece photo of George Washington and a offical certificate of ownership.My family who gave him this gift said that it was for his future. So, i was just wondering how it will effect his future.

You usually need to pay a premium to purchase uncut bills. Check out usmint.gov. Last time I checked you could buy uncut $2 bills.\n\nDepending on the year, I would think 25-50+ yrs from now the uncut bills your son received will probably be worth a lot more than face value. Most people collect the uncut bills for fun and the "coolness" factor. Unless there is a high demand for them, the value won't go up as much.


What does it mean when a girl puts that she likes 'Boys!' as one of her interests in an online profile? I've seen this a lot and the first thing that pops into my mind is that she does a lot of casual playing around, but are you just trying to be cute or let us know you're heterosexual or something?

It means she's enthusiastic about her sexuality and possibly at a stage where she's exploring it more freely.  This proclamation can be found on a profile of a teenager or someone in her early 20's.  I'm 21 and I've refered to people of the opposite sex that are my contemporaries as "boys" coloquially rather then as men. (i.e. 'You heard from him, eh?  How is that boy doing?'  'I'm going to go hang out with the boys.') Though, when refering to an attractive individual, I usually call them a "guy".  This said, it can also denote the area of the country she's in as being one where this colloquial term is used in place of "young men".


I'm a local business person who can help implementing business opportunities in eastern europe. Our country economic growth rate is way above average - 7,2%/year.\n\njust to give you an example, in USA, the automotive industry had a drop of several %, while in Romania, we had a growth of 58,67% this year.\nMan power is extremely cheap here, at around 150 $/month salary per employee.\nIn short words, we can't miss this economical boom of this emerging market.\nSo feel free to write me for any invest hint or join me in my business.\ncheers

The problem with most Eastern European countries is high corruption and plenty of red tape to deal with. Thus the potential return on investment might be overblown. If I invest $1,000 and get a return of $1,300, that might be a good return by world measures, but if I have to pay off $100 to one bureacrat and $100 to another, the return is suddenly not that beneficial.


A man just stole 2 jugs weighing 10 pounds each he weighs 90 pounds. The police are chasing him and he comes to a bridge that he know's of and it has a sign that read's "to go across you must weigh 100 pounds NO MORE NO LESS, or the bridge will collaspe. How does the man get across?

Presumably the best way would be to juggle the jugs, carefully keeping one in the air and one in his hand at all times.  Of course, I don't think that a ninety-pound man would very easily juggle two ten-pound jugs while running from the police, but this is only a riddle, I suppose.

Is there some league rule or something?

In the past, he has had a record much like Ron Artest's. He has been called for frequent flagrant fouls in the past. The officials now think that anything he does is of malicious intent.

I have this product manual in pdf which is best viewed at 150% size. The problem is everytime I click on a bookmark it has its size changed to 125% and the fonts become too slow.\n\nIs there any way to force the document to be kept at 150% size? \n\nPS: I'm working with Adobe Acrobat 5.0 Pro.\n\nThanks in advance

Instead of clicking on the bookmark, I like to click the right arrow button which forwards to the next page quickly.  This doesn't exactly answer your question, but it might be helpful anyways.  Click the right arrow to go one whole page forward, and click the left arrow button to go one whole page back.  You can navigate pretty quickly by hitting it multiple times rapidly.


I know that 80-90%+ of the people who had been treated with cesium-chloride were completely recovered from cancer- even if they were terminally ill. It isn't such a well known treatment though- at least here in Hungary it isn't- but it sounds very auspicious. And what gives credence to it is that the researchers who found out that it can cure cancer were even awarded two Nobel prizes. However I wonder what is the treatment like and whether it can cause any side effects, or long-term discomfort.

This is a treatment that is currently outside of the medical mainstream and is not supported by double blind randomized trials looking at five year survival rates (probably the gold standard test for a treatment program).  That said, to my knowledge, it has not been disproven either.  \n\nI am fairly certain the cure rates you are citing  are misleading.  As to the Nobel prize, I am not aware of any prize being awarded on the topic of C-C treatment (or, for that matter, to the primary advocates or inventors of the treatment).\n\nStill it is an interesting treatment concept -- those considering such a treatment should consult with a doctor though to be sure that certain side effects are avoided.\n\nhttp://www.cs.rochester.edu/~nelson/cesium/cesium_therapy.html


Yahoo Answers gives "points" for doing things, then limits the rate at which you can earn points by limiting the number of questions you can answer in a day, the number of questions you can ask in a day, and the number of questions for which you can vote for the best answer.  Is this psychological manipulation?

Yes, there's certainly a psychological aspect to it - if you could do everything you wanted to, you'd be more likely to show up once, spend a long time, and then never come back. By making you spread out your involvement over a few days, it makes it more likely that you'll continue to return.\n\nAlso, limiting the number of actions is a good anti-spam feature - if someone turns out to be a poor user, then the amount of damage they can do is limited by time, which gives more time to catch them and shut down their account.


Let's resolve this overdue question by bringing it to a vote.


Heard a lot of about Ayurvedic medicines and Yoga (from Indian Subcontinent). Just wanted to know whether they are any good and/or provide any results?

Ayurvedic Medicine is great, I especially love all the uses of natural ingredients.  There are a ton of great book sout there for you to look at.  I would recomment doing that.  \n\nI don't know much about yoga, I have taken a class in it, but I have an Ayurvedic Medicine woman, and she is great.

there is no way u can be together? I've been with him before for 3 months, i've known him for 9 years. But my parents say that there is no way i could ever be with him. Im forbidden to talk to him, but i still do. He is really great, the only problem with him is that he is not that cute. Well to tell the truth, he is really ugly. My parents say he's the ugliest boy they have ever seen. He's 2 1/2 years older than me, but thats not a problem. What do i do to be able to be with him. help

First, if you love him I don't see how you could even care about his looks at all. Second, if this is the sole reason that your parents won't let you see him ,it sounds rather shallow.\n\nIf you love him, explain the situation with your parents & then remain friends. Once you are 18, there is nothing your parents can do about it, so long as you live on your own. Granted, the full legal age is 21 but, if you are, let's say, away at college, how can they tell you whom you can & can not see?\n\nIn truth, how you handle this entire thing is up to you & your true devotion to this guy. If you've known him for nine years you can't be too young so I'm thinking it will just be a matter of time before you can be together.\n\nGood luck!

Many countries celebrate Christmas in one form or another.  Each country calls their "Generous Bearer of Gifts" by a different name (i.e. St. Nick ).  What are the other names in the different countries?

Santa Claus (also known as Saint Nicholas, Saint Nick, Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santy or simply Santa) is a folk hero in various cultures who distributes gifts to children, traditionally on Christmas Eve. Each name is a variation of Saint Nicholas, but refers to Santa Claus.\n\nIn other countries - Throughout Europe and North America, Santa Claus is generally known as such, but in some countries the gift-giver's name, attributes, date of arrival, and even identity varies.\n    * Austria: Christkind ("Christ child")\n    * Belgium: Sinterklaas\n    * Bulgaria: Дядо Коледа (Diado Koleda (Grandfather Christmas)), used to be Дядо Мраз ( Diado Mraz (Grandfather Frost)) before 1989\n    * Canada: Santa Claus (among English speakers); Le Père Noël ("Father Christmas", among French speakers)\n    * Czech Republic: Svatý Mikuláš ("Saint Nicholas"); Ježíšek (diminutive form of Ježíš ("Jesus"))\n    * Denmark: Julemanden\n    * Estonia: Jõuluvana\n    * Finland: Joulupukki\n    * France: Le Père Noël ("Father Christmas"); Père Noël is also the common figure in other French-speaking areas)\n    * Germany: Weihnachtsmann ("Christmas Man"); Christkind in southern Germany\n    * Greece: Άγιος Βασίλης ("Saint Basil")\n    * Hungary: Mikulás ("Nicholas"); Jézuska or Kis Jézus ("child Jesus")\n    * Italy: Babbo Natale ("Father Christmas"); La Befana (similar role as Santa Claus; she rides a broomstick rather than a sleigh, although she is not normally considered a witch); Gesù Bambino ("Christ Child"); Santa Lucia (A child saint "operating" in the Northern regions, bringing gift on December the 12th. As well as the Befana, an old lady, comes out on the Epifany, Jan 6th)\n    * Liechtenstein: Christkind\n    * Netherlands & Flanders: Sinterklaas (not with Christmas but on December 5th)\n    * Norway: Julenissen\n    * Poland: Święty Mikołaj / Mikołaj ("Saint Nicholas"); Gwiazdor in some regions\n    * Portugal: Pai Natal ("[Father Christmas]]")\n    * Romania: Moş Crăciun ("Father Christmas"); Moş Niculae ("Father Nicholas")\n    * Russia: Дед Мороз (Ded Moroz, "Grandfather Frost)\n    * Spain: Los Reyes Magos ("The Three Kings"; "Magi"); the Tió de Nadal in Catalonia; Olentzero in the Basque Country.\n    * Sweden: Jultomten\n    * Switzerland: Christkind\n    * Turkey: Noel Baba\n    * United Kingdom: Father Christmas; Santa Claus\n    * United States: Santa Claus; Kris Kringle; Saint Nicholas or Saint Nick\n\n    * Argentina: Papá Noel\n    * Brazil: Papai Noel\n    * Costa Rica: San Nicolás or Santa Clos\n    * Chile: Viejito Pascuero\n    * Mexico: Santa Claus; Niño Dios ("child Jesus"); Los Reyes Magos\n\n    * Japan: Santa Claus\n    * Taiwan: Santa Claus-derived (聖誕老人 or 聖誕老公公 "Old Man Christmas")\n    * The Philippines: Santa Claus\n\nSouth Africa: Sinterklaas; Father Christmas; Santa Claus

She died in AZ but she was buried in Colorado

Ask her family.  If that's not feasible, look for the obituary, which may include that info. Sorry for your loss.


why is it that publicly criticizing people for smoking is considered acceptable, but it hasn't become acceptable yet for someone to tell a fat person it's unhealthy to be fat. There are t-shirts and posters everywhere with logos saying things like "there are cooler ways to die" talking about smoking, but why aren't there posters like that with fat people on them?

Although I do agree with you, it wouldn't be Politically Correct.


how do you pick out the numbers to use with a box and whisker plot when you have all the quartiles, and smallest and largest numbers?

A box-and-whisker plot can be useful for handling many data values. They allow people to explore data and to draw informal conclusions when two or more variables are present. It shows only certain statistics rather than all the data. Five-number summary is another name for the visual representations of the box-and-whisker plot. The five-number summary consists of the median, the quartiles, and the smallest and greatest values in the distribution. Immediate visuals of a box-and-whisker plot are the center, the spread, and the overall range of distribution.\n \n\n\nThe first step in constructing a box-and-whisker plot is to first find the median, thelower quartile and the upper quartile of a given set of data. Example: The following set of numbers are the amount of marbles fifteen different boys own (they are arranged from least to greatest).\n\n18 27 34 52 54 59 61 68 78 82 85 87 91 93 100\n \n\n\nFirst find the median. The median is the value exactly in the middle of an ordered set of numbers. *\n\n68 is the median\n\nNext, we consider only the values to the left of the median: 18 27 34 52 54 59 61. We now find the median of this set of numbers. Remember, the median is the value exactly in the middle oa an ordered set of numbers. Thus 52 is the median of the scores less than the median of all scores, and therefore is the lower quartile.\n\n52 is the lower quartile\n\nNow consider only the values to the right of the median: 78 82 85 87 91 93 100. We now find the median of this set of numbers. The median 87 is therefore called the upper quartile. \n\n87 is the upper quartile\n\n(*If you're finding the median in an ordered set with an even number of values, you must take the average of the two middle numbers. For example: 3, 5, 7, and 10. Add the two middle numbers. 5 + 7 = 12. Divided 12 by 2 to get the average. 12 / 2 = 6. Therefore 6 is the median for the ordered set of 3, 5, 7, and 10.)\n\nYou are now ready to find the interquartile range (IQR). The interquartile range is the difference between the upper quartile and the lower quartile. In our case the IQR = 87 - 52 = 35. The IQR is a very useful measurement. It is useful because it is less influenced by extreme values, it limits the range to the middle 50% of the values.\n\n35 is the interquartile range\n\nplease review these pages.


...on where to start fixing it?\n\n"file not found idlist,:520:1024"\n\nthanks!

an idlist is a shell link to your Control Panel. Apparently, the computer cannot locate a system file needed for the use of the Control Panel.\n\nAs you could notice, there is no file system path for the control panel. So to identify a file system path there, Windows creates a string of numbers called IDlist.\n\nAlas, the numbers (520:1024 in your case) are not a "real" string, rather the number of the allocated buffer and its memory needs.\n\nYou can try to "read" the numbers, some websites give you a kind of key, but it's really really difficult. Take a look at http://help.madshi.net/IIDListRef.htm \n\nSo I would suggest the intuitive approach: Did you install a program with a path to the Control Panel (a screensaver? fonts?) If so, restore Windows to the point before the installation.\n\nGood luck!
