in which movie he had introduced more new techniques the any of his movies?

Generally, film geeks tend to come down in favor of Vertigo or Notorious, but the previously mentioned North By Northwest gets a lot of votes, too.\n\nNotorious is usually cited by European critics because of the amazing work by both Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman, plus it is the film that introduced the concept of the McGuffin. Essentially, this is the plot device that everything seems to be hinging upon while the story is doing something else (much sneakier) in the background. In Notorious, the McGuffin is (are) the wine bottles full of uranium.\n\nI tend to think that Vertigo is his best because it's just so damn unbelievable and over-the-top but he still pulls it off. Jimmy Stewart was never better in his whole career and the cinematography, music and mood is just amazing.\n\nOther (not yet mentioned) great Hitchcock films that you must see would be:\n\n1. Early Period: The Thirty-Nine Steps (1939), The Lady Vanishes, Strangers on a Train\n2. Middle-Period: The Trouble with Harry (very funny), Suspicion, Rebecca\n3. Later: Rear Window, and Psycho (of course)

I live in an area with very high real estate prices. I can afford to buy, but I'm wondering if I should just rent and save a bunch of money.

It depends on what you mean by "save a lot of money".  If you are trying to save money over a period of time, it depends.  Over the long haul you might save money by buying, since you'll end up owning the property and could sell it and recover your investment.  You might even make money by buying if you live in an area where the property value is likely to go up over the period of time you might live there.\n\nIf you're trying to save money on a monthly basis, renting is usually cheaper, unless a) you might rent out one or more rooms, thus off-setting your out-of-pocket monthly expenses, or b) you can afford to put down a large down-payment.\n\nLiving in a high-cost area myself, I say "buy" if you can afford it.  If nothing else you can go to town on decorating or remodeling, something you can't usually do when you rent.

What are the market shares of the top 10 blogging packages / ASPs?

I have a lot of friends that use Xanga, and they have tons of features that make them very popular.  I know that Yahoo 360 has a new service avaliable but I haven't use it yet.  I have, however, read the Yahoo Answers Team 360 Blog and it seems to be alright.


I remember from physics class in college that two correlated wavefunctions (e.g., sum of wavefunction spins = 0) can exhibit strange behavior at a distance.  left alone (e.g., without measurement of wavefunctions), each wavefunction (called A & B) has a probability of 50% spin up and 50% spin down.  WavefunctionA (WF_A) is IN NEITHER state until it is ACTUALLY measured.  the moment WF_A it is measured, WF_B assumes the opposite spin with DEFINITE probability.  i understand that no information is transferred at a distance between WF_A and WF_B, but HOW does this happen.  WHAT is the mechanism that collapes WF_B into a definite spin state at a distance? I am not looking for explanations like "satisfies laws of conservation" ... instead i am looking for physical mechanism that allow this seemingly incredible phenomena to work.  If the "weirdness" i am describing is an artifact of the way i am asking the question (which is what i suspect), explainations there would be appreciated as well.

An equally valid question would be "what is the mechanism that causes WF_A to collapse when it is measured?"  The schroedinger equation does not predict collapse as a result of any interaction, so it is outside the theory taught in undergraduate classes.  There is no accepted theory (or in my opinion, any reasonable theory at all) as to why measurement causes a selection of a single eigenvalue out some non-eigenstate.  The idea that measurement on one object has ramifications on another object seems more mysterious, but it's not fundamentally different than the idea that measurement causes collapse in the first place.  You won't find a satisfying answer.


I'm really looking for ways to answer this when my son asks in a few years :)

I guess it's because I'm not a parent, but I don't understand why you can't tell your son where babies actually come from?  Don't you know?


For household we have 110 V, 220 V.\nFor high voltage lines: 11 KV, 22 KV , 33 KV etc.

110 Volts is nominal and may vary when measured by a voltmeter.  That said, power is supplied using sets of three separate parallel wires that you can see up on most power poles.  The very high voltage there is stepped down using a transformer to supply most houses and businesses with a usable lower voltage.  The voltage between any one of the three wires to ground in a house is 110 Volts for example to light a light bulb.  The voltage between any two wires is 220 Volts and is used for example to power a clothes dryer or kitchen range.  Houses do not use all three wires.  A machine shop may power a large motor by connecting all three wires (in a delta or Y configuration) to obtain 440 Volts.  Therefore the progression of 110, 220, and 440 Volts stems from the use of single, two and three-phase wiring circuits.  Electrical power is conducted cross-country at very high voltages using high tension lines strung in sets of three wires or phases which produces the multiple of 11 you mention.  Incidentally there may be an additional single wire above all the rest to arrest lightning strikes.


This has been addressesd on a few different places I frequent.\n\nthe question:  if an airplane is on a treadmill or some type of conveyer belt that senses speed and accelerates accordingly.  Will the plane ever gain enough windspeed to actually take off?

If the plane is on a treadmill like the ones we run on at the gym, then it won't really be 'going' anywhere and will not take off because no air is passing by the wings to generate lift.  \n\nI think you might have to clarify this one further...


what percentage? how much is transaction fee?

There are two basic fees:\n1.  Insertion fee\n2.  Final value fee\n\nThe lower your set the opening price, the lower the insertion fee.  Low opening prices help drive more bids.\n\nYou can also add feature fees (galley, bold, etc...) or add a reserve price or Buy It Now price.  \n\nWhatever you sell, make sure you accept PayPal.  It protects both you and buyer and it's listed on more than 85% of listings.


I was told that my gum is healthy if I can see less than 4mm of it. But I thought the gum is the flesh connecting the teeth to the jaw, and I can see the entire pink flesh covering my teeth. There must be at least 1.5cm. How can it be less than 4mm? Am I missing something?

The 4 mm probably refers to the depth of your gum pockets (the space betwen the top of your gums to the alveolar bone that holds your teeth. Your dentist would measure this with a probe.\n\nIf your pockets are deeper than 4 mm then it means that you have had bone loss  which is usually caused by periodontal disease (an infection in the gums). The best way to prevent periodontal problems is to brush and FLOSS your teeth regularly (brush at least twice a day for two minutes). \n\nI emphasize flossing, because often people don't realize just how important it is. The contact between the two teeth are where food are most likely to get stuck, and therefore where bacteria sticks most often, too. The purpose of flossing is to really clean that surface where two teeth touch. So instead of focusing on just making the floss go down between the teeth, you want to follow the sides of your teeth to make sure you remove the plaque. So you should be going up and down two to three times along the tooth on both sides of the contact.\n\nHope this helps!

looking for a platform for handling business objects as well as application flow so people would not have to hard code each page transition and each business logic step in php.\n\nWhat do people recommend?

You can use of of the many php MVC Framework. One of the most used one is phpMVC. \n\nQuoted from their website "php.MVC implements the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, and encourages application design based on the Model 2 paradigm. This design model allows the Web page or other contents (View) to be mostly separated from the internal application code (Controller/Model), making it easier for designers and programmers to focus on their respective areas of expertise.\n\nThe framework provides a single entry point Controller. The Controller is responsible for allocating HTTP requests to the appropriate Action handler (Model) based on configuration mappings.\n\nThe Model contains the business logic for the application. The Controller then forwards the request to the appropriate View component, which is usually implemented using a combination of HTML with PHP tags in the form of templates. The resulting contents are returned to the client browser, or via another protocol such as SMTP.\n\nphp.MVC is a PHP port of Jakarta Struts. It currently supports many features of Struts, including declarative application configuration via the XML digester. For example, mappings from the various Action business logic components to appropriate results pages can be specified declaratively in the XML configuration file. "


I share my external drive with my brother (we swap dries with files every month or so to keep backups off-site), and we wanted to know if there was a simlpe solution for password protection that would alow recovery of the files to any computer (assuming the original computer dies and you don't want encryption tied to one machine).

I recently backed up and restored a bunch of files using Roxio's Backup MyPC Deluxe, which was bundled with my copy of Easy Media Creator 7.5.  I don't know how secure the encryption is, but it definitely lets you recover files to any computer.  I would assume that any of the more recognized packages (i.e. Norton/Dantz Retrospect/Ghost) would let you restore files to a different machine as this seems to be a core feature of a backup program.


The platform probably doesn't matter, but just in case, this will be on a Mac. Some possibility of having remote/phone participation on the recording. Prefer answers citing personal experience.

OK - I podcast, just wrapped my 160th show. I use a Plantronics Computer headset. Key is to position microphone 3 fingers away from your mouth, not under your nose. I think it was $14 from Fry's\n\nFor calls, I use a Radio Shack call recorder, plugs in between your phone and headset (phone must have headset jack). Was $24.\n\nProcessing your voice afterwards helps: normalize, use a little reverb, and compress. It makes a big difference, and you dont really need to use hardware to do it. \n\nThats the cheap method. You can spend a lot more and there are huge differences and situations. It depends on where you will be using it, who you will be talking to. Big difference between say a portable , interview show, and/or studio.


I do love my life ... so, are the risks really high while undertaking this thrilling jump?

Check out the link for Skydive Monterey Bay Inc. I haven't done it by my friends have done their first jump there. Their website has a lot of good information on skydiving. As far as I know, your first jumps will always be tandem jumps, where you are strapped to an instructor who will pull the parachute. It seems that the only risk is if the regular parachute and the emergency parachute all fail, which is probably very unlikely.


I have a retirement plan with my former employer and I want to roll it over to a traditional IRA.  What are my other options?

Just go to vanguard.com or any of the brokerage firms (Vanguard usually has the lowest fees), sign up for a rollover IRA account, and follow the directions they give you. It usually involves filling out a form and submitting that to whatever company is managing your old 401(k).


With consumer confidence and new home sales up, it is almost 100% sure that the Feds will raise short term interest rate again in December and likely in January.  Will long term rate move up more?  With current mortage rate, buyer are still willing to pay premium for houses.  Clearly, easy money are still out there.

I think there is a lag in new home sales and the closings in October really were under contract in Aug and September, thus November numbers should be down dramatically even after seasonal adjustment. Rates will undoubtedly go up again at the next meeting, but with the advent of so many new mortgage products (interest only, reverse mortgage, etc.) money is still relatively easy but definitly more risky. I expect volume levels to slow, prices to flatten across most of the US but do not see a big drop in prices unless rates get above 8%.


I'd like to find a tennis club that has indoor courts and a variety of events that help you find other players to play with.

the Sunnyvale Municipal Tennis Center (right next to the Cherry Orchard plaza) has great facilities. it's near the sunnyvale/saratoga and el camino real intersection.


As as working professional I dont have time to goto college. I want to do either the Part Time MBA or Certification in Mgmt. Which one has more value and what would you recommend for me?

You see, one of the biggest value an MBA will bring is the "networking" opportunity. Hence, a part-time MBA with no classroom-based activities will miss this important piece.\n\nIf you want to go for a fully remote-based degree, the Open university is a good option.\n\nColumbia also has a good option for a certificate: you keep taking several courses and after some time you can apply for a certificate in business excellence.\n\nI think both the part-time mba or the certificate are good options if you pick a good school.\n\nIf you can afford going to the campus about twice a month, an executive mba is the best option in my opinion. Chech NYU, Kellog or Columbia.


Who Will be the League MVP this Year?\n\nIverson ???\nLebron??\nKobe??

The only correct answer from anybody is that they do not know.  The league awards tend to shape up after the All-Star break.  Later on in the season would be a better time to ask.


well...it depends if a wood chuck could chuck wood


I seem to remember reading somewhere that in the old sled/carriage days that if a fellow teamster had to bail you out of trouble, you traditionally gave them your sleighbells as a thank you (or mark of shame?).  Can't find that reference any more.

Direct quote from http://www.rootsweb.com/~genepool/meanings.htm: "To be somewhere with "bells on" refers to a practice peddlers had when they roamed the area west of the Appalachians selling wares. To avoid Indians, they traveled as silently as possible until they reached a settled area. Then they unmuffled bells hung around their horses necks to announce their arrival to outlying cabins. Hence, "I'll be there with bells on." The peddlers' arrival was a much anticipated major event in the mostly tedious and hard lives of settlers, not only for the goods they sold, but also for the news, letters, and messages they carried from the outside world."


I guess advertisements will be added eventually when it has certain traffic.

I think you answered your own question.\n\nBesides, at orientation weren't we told to make cool stuff, then worry about how to make money? Perhaps this is a cool thing that simply hasn't had a money-making idea created from it yet. However, advertisement is, I think, the most probable means.


the majority of the listening would be in the car (howard stern!), but would love to be able to listen at home/work. would prefer something that could plug into an open aux input on both car stereo or home receiver as opposed to using FM.

You want one of the dockable tuners, all of them have some sort of line out capability.  After that the prime factor is form factor and UI.  I prefer the look of the Clarion but the JVC and Audiovox are also good.  Also, if you have broadband at home, you don't need a tuner, all sirius subscribers can stream Sirius channels via the internet for free.


I figure why pay TiVo or a cable company or a satellite company to use a personal video recorder, after all, it's just a piece of timer software that records data to a hard drive. Just a matter of getting the tv listings, hooking up a home computer and finding the right software for one-time up front cost (something cheap, like $50 and not 300-500 like TiVo/ReplayTV charge you).

Easy, SnapStream, or I think it's now called BeyondTV, there was an article written on it in 2002 on tomsnetworking.com, great article: http://www.tomsnetworking.com/network/20020423/\n\nA little more than $50, but $69.99 ain't bad. If you don't already have a tv tuner card for your PC then get the bundle that comes with it.\n\nI'm not sure but I think the XP Media Edition PCs have similar software already built-in as well.


I'm considering switching out my triple crankset for a compact. I tried a rental bike with a compact (Cannondale R2000, nice bike) and liked it quite a bit. Right now I'm riding a Specialized Roubaix with Shimano 105 components.\n\nI'm something of a beginner, having just started about three months ago. I have a climber's build and tend to like moderately hilly routes.

The main advantage is that the compact crankset gearing is much closer to the high cadence riding that is the current trend in modern cycling.  With a standard triple crank you have 30/42/52 chainrings, from which most people use the 42 and 30 rings.  The 30 is a little too short for most hilly rides, and basically you're spinning super fast to get up a hill.  The 42 is   a bit too small for barrelling down a hill, and the 52 is so steep that it's rarely being used.\n\nThe compact crankset has 50 and 34 tooth gears which are theoretically better for the way most cyclists ride today.  The 34 gives you short enough gearing to get up big hills but is not quite as short as the granny gear on the triple, and the 50 gives you the speed in a manageable dose.\n\nA couple things to consider, though.  In order to switch to a double compact, you need to replace a fair number of components, including the bottom bracket, cranks, rear derailleur (optional but highly recommended), front derailleur and possibly your left shifter.  You might be able to get what you want from switching out the cassette on your bike, which is of course a lot cheaper.


I need to know the top 10 deadliest volcano in the world.

This site has the answer you are looking for:    http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0197833.html    Many more resources below...


Aryton Senna,  Michael Schumacher, Giuseppe Farina, Mike Hawhtorn, Phil Hill, John Surtees, Denis Hulme, Jochen Ridnt, James Hunt , Mario Andretti, Jodie Scheckter, Alan Jones, Keke Rosberg,Nigel Mansell, Damon Hill, Jacques Villenueve?

Statistically Michael Schumacher is the best, though it's not an apples to apples comparison as the car is a much larger factor in driver success than it has been in the past.  My vote's with Ayrton, he had a razor sharp focus that I haven't seen since, and F1 in the early 1990's was much more competitive than it is today.


I recently purchased a new DSLR camera and a new photo printer, and I'm ready to replace an older (smaller) monitor.\n\nHow much better are the monitors above $1000?

The problem with most current LCD technology is that the chrominance isn't as good as with traditional CRT-based monitors. There are some LCD ones just coming out that have full-color backlight which should make them actually _better_ than CRTs (according to some Wired article I read, anyhow.)\n\nPersonally, I've been pretty happy with the Dell 24xx monitors - they're under $1k, they have a multitude of inputs, and I think I've only got one stuck pixel (and no dead ones.) You're still going to have to color-correct anyway, but you'd have to do that on _any_ monitor you get. (A good gamma correction curve will solve a multitude of ills.)


Thinking of picking up either Snowboarding or Skiing as a hobby.  Which one better?  Which one is easier to learn?\n\nThanks,\n\nSam

i found myself picking up snowboarding faster than skiing. by picking up, i mean i felt ready to take on the more intermmediate/advanced runs after a day or two of the bunny slopes. one board and 2 turns (backside and frontside) was a lot less to deal with than 2 poles and 2 skis and limbs flailing around in different directions. moguls are harder on a snowboard and more fun on skis. flatter runs are more frustrating on a snowboard. getting off the ski lift seems easier on skis


just wonderin. the stuff is 2 bucks a pop!

Yes, it is all taken care of by the gods in trivial knowledge panthenon of the discworld called Topaxi, God of certain mushrooms, and also of great ideas that you forgot to write down and will never remember again, and of people who tell other people the "dog" is "god" spelled backwards and think this is in some way revelatory (a little red god)


how has the fibbonacci sequence been used by sculptors, architects,and painters

Well, many people answered the question. Fibonacci sequence starts from 0 and Nth Fibonacci Number is sum of (N-1) th and (N-2) th Fibonacci Number.\nSequence goes like 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34…....\n\nIt is an empirical fact that the ratio of consecutive Fibonacci Numbers converges to an interesting value near to 1.6 called (to be accurate it is (1+SQRT (5))/2) golden ratio or golden mean.\nThere ere are some interesting facts about golden ratio:\n1.\nThe growth of nautilus shell, growth of populations and many other kinds of natural “growing,” are somehow governed by mathematical properties exhibited in the Fibonacci sequence. Not just the rate of growth, but the pattern of growth. Examine the crisscrossing spiral seed pattern in the head of a sunflower, for instance, and you will discover that the number of spirals in each direction is invariably two consecutive Fibonacci numbers.\n2. \nGolden ratio is related to construction of great ancient architectures like Great pyramids in Egypt. \nLink: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~matc/math5.geometry/unit2/unit2.html\n3.\nYou can follow this link for exploring its use in poetry, music, art and now a days it is used for stock market predictions as well. This link will tell you the origin of the word Fibonacci as well.\nLink: http://www2.evansville.edu/studiochalkboard/cm-fibonacci.html


Especially the English language.. who define the ABCDE....

Language predates the alphabet. The origins of Language are lost to the mists of time. The alphabet as we know it was developed by the Phonecians about 3000 years ago, and modified first by the Greeks, and then the Romans for their own languages before we adopted it from the Romans.\n\nThe origins of the English language specifically date to sometime after 1066 when Willam the Conqueror became King of England. The commoners spoke something related to the ancestor language of Dutch while the nobility spoke French. We kept the grammar of the native Anglo-Saxon tongue while adding huge amounts of French vocabulary.\nThe result is recognizably English, while still sounding very different from what we speak today. It's not until Shakespear's time that Modern English emerged.

My husband and I will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary next Friday. I would love to do something special for him, but we are a little limited on funds. What can I do to make this night special? \n\nI would love to hear some ideas from some of you! \nThank you in advance! :)

My favorite times with my loved one is when we actually have time to sit and reflect about what the other one means to us. Going out to eat is traditionally what is done on an anniversary, but I prefer one on one time where there is nobody else around. No strangers talking loudly, no waiters to interrupt, no time wasted in line or in the car.  \n\nIn my opinion, Anniversaries are about each other, and to do that, you've gotta block out the rest of the world.  Here's my recipe for a fabulous anniversary. FIRST, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, GET SOME PAPER, PENS, AND AN ENVELOPE. I'll tell you why in a little bit.\n\nNext, plan the environment - Stay home (or rent a hotel if you want to get away from the day-to-day). Turn off the lights, turn on the music, light the candles.  Put your favorite (but easy to prepare) foods around you - cheeses, pizza, strawberries, chocolate, wine, etc.\n\nNow here comes the important part - sit directly in front of each other on the floor. Knee to knee, and eye to eye. Be sure to hold hands and feed each other. Talk about 'the time when we...' or 'that one time when we...'. Before you know it, hours will have passed. Don't be afraid to sip a little more wine than what you normally do. You'll soon find yourself maybe getting a little frisky. \n\nBut before you go any further, grab that piece of paper and pen, and write down a few lines about what that other person means to you. How they make you feel, and why you love them. Why you appreciate them. The more specific you get the better. For example, I love my man more everytime I catch him acting like a little kid when he thinks no one is around. Now don't let the other person read it. Seal it in the envelope, and save it for your next anniversary. It's so fun, and gives you something really fantastic to look forward to. \n\nNow would be a good time to finish off the night with a long kiss...and maybe more.\n\nYou've just created a wonderful memory of the two of you together, sincerely enjoying each other.\n\nMuch better than some boring evening at an overpriced restaurant where nobody talked to each other, don't you think?


will sum1 go to www.sparknotes.com and find a chp by chp summary of Summer of the Monkeys and then post it onto the answers.thanyou so much cuz i dont know how. i tried but cant.

Part One\n(revised 2.28.96)\n\n\n[Note: This is a single part of what will be, by my classification, about 240 compact tribal histories (contact to 1900). It is limited to the lower 48 states of the U.S. but also includes those First Nations from Canada and Mexico that had important roles (Huron, Micmac, Assiniboine, etc.).\n\nAlthough this Cherokee history is larger than most, it's content and style are representative. The normal process at this point is to circulate an almost finished product among a peer group for comment and criticism.\n\nUsing the Internet, this can be more inclusive. Feel free to comment or suggest corrections via e-mail. Working together we can end some of the historical misinformation about Native Americans. You will find the ego at this end is standard size. Thanks for stopping by. I look forward to your comments...Lee Sultzman]\n\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nLocation\nOriginal: \n\nThe southern Appalachian Mountains: including western North and South Carolina, northern Georgia and Alabama, southwest Virginia, and the Cumberland Basin of Tennessee, Kentucky, and northern Alabama.\nCurrent: \nDistributed across the United States, but concentrated in eastern Oklahoma. The eastern Cherokee still maintain their reservation in western North Carolina. The Northern Cherokee Nation of the Old Louisiana Territory has almost 12,000 members and has been recognized by the State of Missouri. Other groups of Cherokee, like the 2,500 members of the North Alabama Cherokee, are located in Arkansas, Georgia, and Alabama but currently do not have federal recognition.\n\nPopulation\nEuropean epidemics introduced into the southeastern United States in 1540 by the Desoto expedition are estimated to have killed at least 75% of the original native population. How much the Cherokee suffered from this disaster in unknown, but their population in 1674 was about 50,000. A series of smallpox epidemics (1729, 1738, and 1753) cut this in half, and it remained fairly stable at about 25,000 until their removal to Oklahoma during the 1830s. The American Civil War was the next disaster and cost the Cherokee 25% of their population. No other group of Americans, red or white, suffered as severely during this conflict. The 1990 census listed 308,132 persons (15,000 full-blood) who identified themselves as Cherokee. Of these, 95,435 were concentrated in eastern Oklahoma while 10,114 eastern Cherokee lived on or near the North Carolina reservation. Cherokee tribal governments have fairly liberal membership standards, and some estimates exceed 370,000, which would make the Cherokee the largest Native American group in the United States.\n\n\nName\nThe most familiar name, Cherokee, comes from a Creek word "Chelokee" meaning "people of a different speech." In their own language the Cherokee originally called themselves the Aniyunwiya (or Anniyaya) "principal people" or the Keetoowah (or Anikituaghi, Anikituhwagi) "people of Kituhwa." Although they usually accept being called Cherokee, many prefer Tsalagi from their own name for the Cherokee Nation (Tsalagihi Ayili). Other names applied to the Cherokee have been: Allegheny (or Allegewi, Talligewi) (Delaware), Baniatho (Arapaho), Caáxi (or Cayaki) (Osage and Kansa), Chalaque (Spanish), Chilukki (dog people) (Choctaw and Chickasaw), Entarironnen (mountain people) (Huron), Gatohuá (Creek), Kittuwa (or Katowá) (Algonquin), Matera (or Manteran) (coming out of the ground) ( Catawba), Nation du Chien (French), Ochietarironnon (Wyandot), Oyatageronon (or Oyaudah, Uwatayoronon) (cave people) (Iroquois), Shanaki (Caddo), Shannakiak (Fox), Tcaike (Tonkawa), and Tcerokieco (Wichita).\n\n\nLanguage\nIroquian, but Cherokee differs significantly from other Iroquian languages.\n\n\nSub-tribes\n\nThe Cherokee have been divided into three divisions depending on location and dialect (east to west): \nLower


Does North Korean and South Korean have the same official language and word?

Yes, Koreans in North Korea and South Korea both speak Korean.  However, since the countries have been separated for some time and haven't had much contact, you can expect that some new dialectical differences are developing.  However, my guess is that probably some different dialects of Korean were present in different regions even before the country got split up.


I'm trying to start studying to get the USMLE and plan to start with step 2. there's a wealth of books out there and it is hard to choose from. also people don't agree on the best method to study for this exam or the resources to use. I'm interesed in the opinion of people who have done this test to share their insight on how to prepare for this test. thank you in advance

Looks like you're some foreign medical graduate and your medical education system greatly differs from that of USA so you must choose a quick review course which is very easy to understand and not very time consuming. I'll strongly recommend you to check KaplanMedical.com for online education on Step 2 and USMLEWorld.com for a good bunch of QBank. The best book to start with is First Aid for USMLE Step 2 CK. You can find it on Amazon.com.\nHope it helps\nBest of luck


I am contemplating buying either ESPN the Magazine or Sports Illustrated...Which is better and why?

i think sports illustrated is the best because it has more details and less addvertisements

Isn't that sad? I can't think of many good questions to ask. Any other time - such as when I'm sitting bored at work - I could think of a mess of them but, when I have the chance to be on here, I can't think of any. Annoying, huh?

So when you're sitting bored at work and thousands of questions jump into your mind, grab a sheet of paper and a pen and write them down. The next time you're on Yahoo!Answers, start asking questions!

Did we just lose interest or did we find all we needed to find there.

Yes. I believe the original idea was to build a rocket base from which to explore the solar system. But somebody realised the same thing could be done from Earth via an orbiting space station for a fraction of the cost.\nThe only other reasons for going to the moon were - \n1. To stop the Russians setting up a military base there.\n2. To collect moon rocks.\nWhen the US realised that a Russian moon base wasn't practical, and they had souvenired as many moon rocks as they were ever likely to need, they never bothered to go back.


How do you steer at high speeds?  With your feet? (carving)   I imagine that canting the mast at high-speeds isn't an option.

One party/ Two different tickets / a group of ten people?

Well as a rule of thumb the up-front cash payout is typically around 30 to 33% of the total winnings due to interest and taxes.  [use 1/3 as a quickie rule].  Each state will be different.\n\nFigure if 10 people are sharing 10 million in cash, each person should get somewhere around a million, give or take a couple hundred thousand.  Oh and dont forget a little money paid to a lawyer for the innevitable problem when non-family members have to fight about splitting up money.


we all know Jack Nicklaus was the longest in the 60's, but I'm not sure about the 50's...and Arnold Palmer doesn't count as he was mostly a 60's player as well....thanks

According to Miller Barber, who should know a thing or two about this topic, George Bayer was the longest hitter on tour in the 1950s. He was known as Mr. X because he hit the ball so far. In the late 50s, Miller himself took over the name of Mr. X because of his lenght.


Like my grandma for example: "I dont like this ice cream is not tasty" When the ice cream was really good.

Well, if you think about having illnesses and always being worried about health, older people might always want to pester people to let go of all the emotions bottled up inside of them. They have different points of views, like your example about the ice cream. So if you feel like you have a major problem with them, then try to put yourself in their shoes.


I was raised with absolutely no religion, and have a hard time accepting christianity.  I want to beleive it.  What can I do?

Over the past couple of years, I made many friends from China - most of whom are raised with no religion. And they're all great and wonderful individuals who don't seem to lack anything. I have had at times to explain certain things about the Christian religion to them, which is the dominant religion in the western world, and its practice can raise questions to the uninitiated.\n\nIf you seek spirituality, you should not limit your self to exploring one religion. Why do you dismiss Buddhism, Taoism etc? You should read about everything, speak to ministers and allow your self to form an opinion.\n\nMy advice is, to not let anyone convert you into something by sweet talking you, or promising the kingdom of God. Learn, and let it be your choice. If I were in your shoes, I would try to get all the facts and then decide on my own.\n\nMeet religious people and ask them how they practice religion and what it means to them. Your safest choice not to be tricked into a cult etc would be to go for a well established and long standing dogma or denomination.\n\nIn Christianity, since that is your question, the major two denominations are Catholic and Orthodox, which both came after a separation of the church between west (Catholic) and east (Orthodox). You can learn more on different religions by following the links below.\n\nI know in China most Christians are unitarian, since in 1949 the Government forced denominations to form one single church or leave China.\n\nRemember learn before you act, and don't let anyone influence you. My opinion is that once you decide on something you should stick by it. Should you make the conscious choice to have Faith in a religion. So being absolutely certain is essential. Changing religions in the manner you'd change shirts is not ideal. Because then Faith - which is the most important element in every religion - never gets too strong to mean anything in your life.\n\nWhatever choice you make - good luck to you!

Can you change lanes across a double parallel yellow line? I know that you cannot cross through 2 sets of double yellow lines where each set is separated by about a width of a car, but if there is just 1 set of double parallel lines closely spaced, can you?

Yes, you can cross a double yellow, but only to make a turn into an actual street.


...how far and in what direction will I be from my starting point?

That's the trouble with answers that give no explanation. Who can you believe?\n\nSince we go in each direction once, the ORDER of the moves doesn't matter. \n\nDraw a grid. Start at 0,0\n10 North means 0,10 You are due north 10 miles. Then we come back south 6 miles, so we're 4 miles north of where we started. \n4 miles east and then 7 west means we're 3 miles west of the starting point. \n\nDraw a right triangle 4 miles up and then 3 miles to the left of the starting point. We want the hypotenuse of the triangle whose sides are 3 and 4. \nTime for Pythagoras: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 \n3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 \n9 + 16 = 25 Take the square root of that for your final distance.

I brought a new computer. It has Intel Graphics Media Accelerator with DirectX 9.0c support. I have 512 MB as ram. \n\nThe video card is 128 MB shared. What does that mean?

it means just what you may think it means, that your video card uses up to 128 MB of that 512 MB.  What you want is a video card that has its own memory, otherwise your going to be lacking the full brunt of that 512 MB of memory.

what are POSIX non-compatible functions in C?

You can think of POSIX as a runtime standard for C, but for many reasons, some language/operating system providers decide to either not provide a determined function, change its parameters, its name or some criterion on how to handle the request.\nIf a certain operating system does support the full set of POSIX operations with the standard names, parameters and criteria, then they may certify that with IEEE.\nThat allows you to create a C program and, as long as you use only POSIX functions, it's bound to work correctly on any POSIX-conformant system.\n\nHope it helped!

I have tried the recommended USB wireless adapter on the Tivo but it doesn't find it when I go to set everything up on the Tivo(the wireless adapter worked fine when I used it on my computer).  Does anyone have a Tivo sucessfully setup this way?  Which adapter are you using?

I successfully used a Belkin F5D6050 2.4 GHz 802.11b wireless USB adapter with TiVo. Make sure your SSID and WEP encryption key match your wireless router. If that still doesn't work, try connecting the wireless adapter to a laptop in the same location as your TiVo to make sure you actually have a signal. If that doesn't work, or if you get fed up with cordless phones knocking you off (like me), consider a pair of PowerLine Ethernet bridges and a USB-to-Ethernet adapter for the TiVo (see www.tivo.com/adapters for compatibility).

How are they getting these people they are suing?  Are they tracking IPs, are they watching torrents, P2P, how are they doing it?

The short answer is, yes, of course they are tracking IPs.  The long answer to your other question follows.\n\nIt is a straight-forward, multistep process.\n\n1. Encourage laws that require internet service and server providers to log IP addresses (9/11 pretty much nailed that one for them).\n2. Collect proof of misdeeds for each particular P2P service that is allowing illegal file copying.\n3. Sue the P2P service and demand they hand over IP addresses of offending users.\n4. Trace IP addresses back to users.  Remember, the businesses involved all have to keep records.\n\nAlso, some programs embed identifying information in them.\n\nPretty much any Microsoft program, at least one that uses OLE Structured Storage, creates these huge ID numbers in them called a GUID for each item in the file.  Part of that ID number is their IP address or the unique hardware ID of their interface card, I forget which.\n\nAlso, the encoding process which generates an MP3 file from a CD can store some information in the file which can be used to piece together who created it. It may not be enough to find who did it but it is probably helpful in proving a given computer did it once they have that computer.\n\nThere is probably more going on but you get the idea. At each point along the way, from creating the song file, to transfering it to a service, and downloading it from a service, bits of information are accumulating.\n\nThe more times a person does each of these things, the easier it is to find them, prove it is them, and notice that they are doing a lot. And, just as important, more evidence is accumulating which is used in court as proof of a crime being committed and intent to commit a crime on the part of the peope being sued by the RIAA - or whoever.\n\nSo, either listen to: music you buy, public domain music, music from the radio - or compose/play your own.\n\nYou probably don't like it when you found out someone copied off your test at school.  It makes them get a higher grade than they deserve and if the test is graded on a curve, your A- work can wind up being counted as a B+.  \n\nWell, songwriters composed that music and/or lyrics, musicians practiced and learned to play that song and paid to use a recording studio to perform it in.  When people don't pay to hear that play, the musicians still have their expenses to pay but no royalty check to pay for it. They lose money doing what they love.\n\nEven if someone cannot afford a whole album they can still afford to buy their favorite song for 99 cents.


I've heard conflicting opinions. What is your personal experience?

I had a root canal two years ago, and practically drove myself insane worrying about the potential health impact of it down the road.  Other than the first few days, I've never had any significant pain or discomfort.  I've come to the realization that since I'm only in my early 30's, I'd rather take the risk with a root canal and keep my tooth, rather than have it yanked and either be toothless or pay a lot of money for other options that would still involve putting foreign substances in my mouth.  So, I guess my recommendation regarding root canals would be that if you are a healthy person, with a good immune system, a root canal would probably be a good option, rather than losing your tooth.  But, I do believe they could impact your health, and the decision should be an informed one.


can you suggest any home made instrument?

The best defense is your mind.  Stay out of situations where the temper would escalate to violence.  If you use words and your brain, you can get out of almost any bad situation without coming to blows.  \n\nIf you absolutely *have* to defend yourself from imminent physical assault, remember that the law favors even-handed responses, meaning don't defend yourself with a deadly weapon unless you're threatened with one.

I'm basically looking for incremental backup software that will be able to take an image of the HD, update the backup as necessary as on a set schedule - incrementally of course, can sync this over the network to a NAS device, annnd when finally coming to a restore, it should be bootable such that Windows/Dos/Linux does not have to be preinstalled if 'forbid' there is a severe crash on the physical drive that is being imaged. \n\n\nAny help or guidance would be highly appreciated!

PARTIAL ANSWER:  We use Connected TLM as an incremental backup to sql for 700+ user desktops.. it doesn't restore the total PC image as you asked, yet it's darn good at what it does file by file restore.. based on helpdesk monitoring of 700+ users over 3 years. .. Perhaps you could use PXE to boot to a RIS server, install the image, then use connected to restore the files.. ?


i'm a freshman and i study business administration/Marketing

I would check with your school to see if they have a existing relationship with a PC manufacturer. Many times colleges get a killer deal when you consider they also include insurance and maintenance for the whole time you are in school. \n\nIf they have no deals or you don't like their deal, then I can recommend a ThinkPad. They are not the latest and greatest technology, but they are solid and easy to get serviced. We have had a few ThinkPads go down, but the local service companies handled the warranty repair without me having to ship the thing in, usually within a day or so. \n\nBut again, I know some Universities that handle repairs in house as well, even giving out loaners while the repair happens, so it's worth it to find out what your school offers.

He's a white thin-skinned 83-yr-old man who's skin is now sensitive to sun, heat, light, TV, etc., so it even hurts to lay on the sheets in the bed. He gets cancer eruptions burnt off as they flair up but wants relief from continual ouchiness. He cant even wear his sun hat nor sun glasses anymore 'cause it hurts wherever they touch his skin. He tries to get his mind off of problems but he cant do anything without being irritated. (He already tried noxzema, uses zinc oxide, tries various skin products & soaps ...)  Any answers?? Thanks!

Please listen to me as I am only here to help. You have to do exactly as I say. Go to the website and look up CESIUM CHLORIDE AND OXYGEN DROPS. The other ones could be green algae and paw paw, etc etc. These medicines are known in the medical field, but they dont talk about it. Because these are natural remedies with no toxic chemicals in it. So, thats why they cant profit from it. If they cant profit, they dont sell. I mean, some are even made of mushrooms that you can grow anywhere. Why would they promote this? These doctors will never make money. So, the FDA has put a restriction on these remedies. They cannot say anything about cancer on their labels. They have to be sold as vitamins or health products. But, the website can tell you how to use it, and what cancers it can cure. See how they are suppressing the world? In fact these treatments can cure up to 90% of patients that doctors have already given up on. Chemo therapy is not a therapy. I would rather die then go through with that. They try to kill your cancer with chemicals and radiation. If they kill all your cancer before they kill all your body cells, then they consider you cured. But, what about after that? Your body is damaged and your health deteriorated. There is almost no recovery to this. How many people you know live past 5 years after chemo therapy? Not much if any at all. And compared to the masses, its almost nothing. What do you have to live with after chemo? Your body is not sunburned, its practically microwaved. CESIUM CHLORIDE can be taken with OXYGEN DROPS. Go to the websites. You can go to these websites and they will give a whole package for you to buy. You can take these medicines over the course of 3 months, a year, or whatever they prescribe. After your mom is feeling well, taking it for about 2 months or more, you can almost garauntee that you are cured. But, you have to listen to them and take it till they tell you to stop. They even cure certain 3rd stage cancers with a 90% success rate. But, time is of the essence so I urge you to buy it as soon as possible and take next day delivery or something. I wish you the best of luck in the future. But, heed my warning, do not go into chemo. They always tell you something fuzzy like, oh..you might live another 2 years, or you might die right away..etc etc....Then how do you decide? But, they always say that people who have been on chemo will only live a maximum of X years after that.  So, if you do exactly what I say, not only will you have a chance to survive, but all your friends that may get cancer...

Why is it that when other people come into our country they push their language upon us and the stores and even road signs in south florida are in spanish?

i agree with you; noone should be able to immigrate into this country unless they can first prove some sufficiency in speaking the english laguage. english is rapidly becoming the international laguage of business, so why should we not require everyone here to speak the language in order to interact in our society?

Okay, I'm pretty sure linux is an operating system, but whats the deal about it? I mean i've heard that joke about, "use the best. apples for graphics, linux for servers and windows for solitaire". I understand the joke but what is linux, who really uses it?

Linux Pronounced lee-nucks or lih-nucks. A freely-distributable open source operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds. Because it's free, and because it runs on many platforms, including PCs and Macintoshes, Linux has become an extremely popular alternative to proprietary operating systems.\n\nLinux is a computer operating system and its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public and anyone can freely use, modify, and redistribute it.\n\nIn the narrowest sense, the term Linux refers to the Linux kernel, but it is commonly used to describe entire Unix-like operating systems (also known as GNU/Linux) that are based on the Linux kernel combined with libraries and tools from the GNU Project and other sources. Most broadly, a Linux distribution bundles large quantities of application software with the core system, and provides more user-friendly installation and upgrades.\n\nInitially, Linux was primarily developed and used by individual enthusiasts. Since then, Linux has gained the support of major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell for use in servers and is gaining popularity in the desktop market. Proponents and analysts attribute this success to its vendor independence (the opposite of vendor lock-in), low cost, security, and reliability.\n\nLinux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). It is deployed in applications ranging from embedded systems (such as mobile phones and personal video recorders) to personal computers to supercomputers.\n\n\nTo know much more about linux Read the very good article\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINUX

Were they exclusive to the Pacific and the war against Japan?

Shortly after the United States entered World War II, the Allies agreed that the European Theater would have priority in the war over the Pacific Theater. The Marine Corps' war was in the Pacific and all war plans regarding the employment of Marines reflected that. Nevertheless, because the Marine Corps was part of the naval establishment, it had responsibility also for furnishing men to parts of the Navy assigned to the European and Mediterranean theaters and to the operations conducted there.\n\nThese were not large Marine formations, but were, for the most part, individual Marines and small detachments assigned to guard duty at the barracks and naval operating bases established in the United Kingdom, or men assigned as "sea-going" Marines in the detachments of the large fighting ships. Another category was filled by those intrepid Marines who volunteered for duty with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), to undertake covert operations with the underground against the Nazis in the occupied countries of Europe and North Africa.


my guy said he was going to be back at noon it is past noon by almost 3 hrs. he went to his x's house to be with his kids last night and he hasnt come back. i am stressing it so bad. what do i do?

It's all a matter of trust.  Obviously if you are freaking out about this, there is something about him or about your relationship with him that is making you suspicious in this situation.  \nGetting obviously angry with him when there is no proof of wrongdoing will only make him angry and defensive in return, and nothing positive can be accomplished when that happens.  \nExpress to him (calmly) how this made you feel-- if he is at all worth your time and energy, he will totally understand how uncomfortable this must have made you, and be willing to discuss the reasons why.

I keep noticing that girls will make the first move or try to get in your bed. After that they begin to like you more and pay no attention to the way you act towards them. If someone isn't that into you to begin with why do you think it would change? Furthermore, when there are no signs of anything changing why act surprised or angered?

Alot of females lack an amount of respect for themselves. So they deem the amount of sex or the intensity of the act as a means of actually being with someone. Rather than establishing the relationship first and allowing the loving to be the icing on the cake. It's kind of like when we were kids and played make believe. However,the difference would be that we adventually snapped back to reality. As mentioned previously, woman are emotional creatures and once a guy hitz it the right way or tells us something we like to hear. Woman pretty much lose their minds...so sorry fellas but that's just the way it is...

29 year old father of three who lives paycheck to paycheck in Oklahoma.

Send me $1,000 and I'll get back to you (just kidding).  There are no successful get rich quick schemes. What works for one person will not work for most others.  The best and most successful way to get rich is through a successful budget plan, realistic and thoughtful goals, hard work, diversification and sacrifice.  At the age of 29 you should first learn to save some between those paychecks. Find out what you spend your money on and spend less of it.  Do not use credit except for home mortgage, and prepare for regular maintenance.  Once you are able to save you will be able to invest in inovative minimal risk investments that will grow over time.  These are and always will be the only sure fire road to wealth.

Ok, so you think that evolution is true. You think it's scientific. Let me tell you, it's so wrong! You've probably never heard of Kent Hovind, but he's a creationist who can prove that evolution is wrong. He has put up a challenge that if you can give him scientific proof that evolution is true, then he'll pay you $250,000! I'm serious! \n\nCheck this website: http://www.drdino.com/articles.php?spec=67\n\n(He has had this challenge for at least 10 years, and still no one has found scientific proof for evolution!)\n\nSo do you really think there is evidence for evolution???

I happen to agree that evolution may not be the way god chose to create the world. There must be an intelligent designer - the more I learn science the more I see that must be true. I've watched dr dinos vids and as a scientist I see a lot of cool stuff, but also a bunch of flaws - I loved his work on dinosaurs though.\nThe only scientific evidence for evolution that really leaves me hanging is radioisotope degradation (I can see around C14, but what about the others)\nAnyone want to explain a way around that...I'd be interested!


He is not sure if he can fly that day as he has a health problem.He will come to \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRight now he has a health problem,and is unsure of the date he will be fly to Chicago. My question is may I put this ticket on hold.It is charged to my Am.Express, and not be penalized?

Your best bet is to call the airline.  Different airlines have different policies and fees depending on the ticket.  It's possible that he may be able use that ticket as a credit towards a future flight, though he might incur a transfer fee.

I am asking because I know he couldn't have been Christian; Christianity began after Christ.

Gnosticism was long thought to be a corruption of Christianity but more current thinking is that its roots are pre-Christian. It is highly unlikely, though not absolutely proveable that Jesus was not a Gnostic. The Essenes were a splinter Jewish sect so that was around during Jesus' life. There are some who believe that Jesus was an Essene. Others believe he spent some of his wilderness time with Essenes. Still others think that he never encountered yhe Essenes. Most who compare the recorded thoughts of Jesus with the recorded Essene tracts believe that they are incompatible. It is very unlikely, though not absolutely proveable, that Jesus was ever an Essene.

I know there are temp agencies for $6/hr low skill temp jobs, but are there any for somebody that does programming, system admin, process improvement, etc?

There are definitely many, many technical temp agencies that hire employees with the skills you describe, especially in areas where technical jobs are plentiful. I would suggest conducting a search in your area for "technical temp agencies" or contacting a local employment recruiter to ask about technical temp agencies in your locale.


Without having to serch threw a big list.

try yahoo, they have a search engine for yahoo users. if not, try contacting old common friends.


how many people in your house\nwhat you have in your house


Is it the interface, the point scoring, competition, or what?

I would say its definately the interfacing, the competition to get points, the "levels", and the fact that someone may just tell you YOU ARE RIGHT! Every human loves to hear "you were/are right". I just think its a lot of fun to see what interesting, sometimes educational, and sometimes very silly questions that people will ask!

Any resources for that. I bought a book ysday and I need to lean it as most in my family speak portuguese.

I wouldn't recommend that you do that.  A language is not a tangible thing, so you'll find Portugese really hard to lean.\n\nIf you're asking about "learning" Portugese, it may not be as difficult as you think.  First, it'd be easier to learn compared to Arabic, Chinese or Slavic languages since the LAtin alphabet is used.  Second, it's a language of the Indo-Eurasian family, so if your first language is English, you'll have grammatical similarities and even many words of common roots (compare that to learning say an Altaic language).  Lastly, you say there are people speaking Portugese in your family, which enables you to practice it in daily life. Plus you probably already have an affinity with the sounds and the intonation of that language.\nLearning new languages is fun and eventually useful, and it is a wonderful exercise for your brain. Go for it!


We've been knowing each other for 15 years, but throughout that duration were were together for 2 years. They were some of the best years of my life(well at least until the end). We're kind of like "friends with benefits", except we do other things as well. In between our dates we each from time to time go out on other dates, but it's not the same. I want him to know that I fell back in love with him and want more than what he is giving me. The only thing is that I'm afraid of rejection.I keep thinking that if he really wanted to be with me, then he would just tell me, because we are pretty close. But that's just it, he hasn't and that's why I am concerned about confronting him with my feelings.That's why I want the best possible way of going about this. All help would be greatly appreciated...

You are being used for booty and will never be anything more to him. I wish it didn't sound so harsh, but that's your truth. Either enjoy your "benefits" or move on. You may tell him you love him, but I bet your intuition has already told you the response to that and that is why you are scared. Actually I belive you should tell him, get it off your chest....and still move on.


I think if a person stays for a few days, they are a guest. But if they stay for SEVERAL weeks, I feel they should start pulling their own weight; helping with the chores and maybe contributing to the food cost.

If you just want them to stop acting like guests and start acting like roommates, start assigning chores and handing over the grocery lists once in a while.... "Hey, Susan, while I'm at work today, would you please vaccuum and water the plants?" or (In a joking tone) "Isn't it your turn to do the dishes?"  Open bills in front of them, and complain aloud about how high they've gotten.\nIf you want your house back, then be kind but blunt... Sit down with them and say "I have loved having you here, but I'm afraid that I can't have you stay much longer...I have XXXXX happening in a couple of weeks and need to have some time to myself before that, but it's sure been fun!"\nOr lie and tell them your landlord has reminded you of the terms of your lease and your rent will be raised if they stay more than another week.\nGood luck!


my girlfriends father has just been told he has  it. i want to learn more.

I have bad knees so whenever I do lunges knees crack suggestions?

unless the cracking is painful, it is not unusual or dangerous for your knees to "crack".\n\nLunges are excellent for strengthening the muscles around the knee joint. Make sure that you are not leaning over the knee, that the knee is right above the foot during the lunge and that you maintain a straight upright movement.\n\nDo not do hamstring excercises that will pull on the knee joint if you have problems with your knee. \n\nelipticals are good for running on with minimal knee and ankle stress. \n\nyou can also get large elastic bands...stand in them, and step out to the side pulling on the bands, then back in. Don't pull harder than is comfortable, this will help increase the stablization of the knee.\n\nLaying on your back you can pull your knee to your chest, and then extend it, locking your knee holding the leg just over the ground..repeating, this will also help strengthen the muscles around the knee with minimal weight on it.\n\nAlways is good to speak with a doctor or physical therapist if you have concerns.

I just heard Psylocke has just been cast for the movie X-Men 3 and that she is on Magneto's side. I havn't read the comic book in about 5 years, but the last time I did read it, Psylocke was on the good side with the X-Men. Did she turn bad???

It depends.  They COULD be taking a spin off the more recent stuff where there were two Psylockes.  In the early 20's issues of X-men, there was a big brouhaha about how Revanche came back, essentially a carbon-copy (though she said she was the original!) Psylocke with the same powers, etc., but with the old-school look she had waayyyy back in the older ish of Uncanny.  However, she had a mean streak in her... \n\nI think it's entirely possible (seeing as how true to the book the previous two movies were as far as the characters go) that Psylocke would start out bad, and yet come into Xavier's fold.  You know, kinda like how Nightcrawler was in the second one...?

I'd think Canada the last place to do that.

They are chosing not to make private matters public.  By legalizing "group love", they are giving the citizens more rights.  You have to right to do things in your private club and home that you as consenting adults agree to.  The Canadian government has chosen to stay out of it's citizens' bedroom and personal lives.


Hello,\n\nI'd like to do my own version of a song that has long been in the public domain.\n\nIf I do that, is MY version also public domain?  Or can I copyright my own version of it?

As I understand it, the song is in the public domain, not the performance of it.  Any copyright you might obtain would extend to your performance only.  The song itself would remain in public domain.


as soon as exiting from Firefox my CPU useage drops drastically.

First I would check and make sure you computer meets the requirements for Firefox (if you bought it within the last few years it should be fine). Then I would upgrade to the newest version of Firefox (1.5). If that still fails, unistall it completey and re-install. Check your other programs and see if there are any compatibility problems.

I applied to a college early decision, and I find out on December 14th.  My question?  Is it worth trying to get all the other applications out now?  I know that it looks better to have them in earlier, but should I spend the money to send them in, when it might be wasted effort?

I would suggest waiting until December 14th. Its only a few days. I work for a State University, and honestly, right now half of our staff is already off for Christmas-- chances are if you send in an application now, you won't get a response until mid-January or later.  So my suggestion is, wait for your early decision school, and then if you still want to apply to other colleges, apply in January.


Like where could they go online to look for one one, not necessarily shop online for one but just to see the price and what it would look like.

how is how is lithium helpful to us in life?

here is one reason:\n\nLithium salts such as lithium carbonate (Li2CO3), lithium citrate, and lithium orotate are mood stabilizers used in the treatment of bipolar disorder, since unlike most other mood altering drugs, they counteract both mania and depression. Lithium can also be used to augment other antidepressant drugs. Useful amounts of Lithium for this use are only slightly lower than toxic amounts, so the blood levels of Lithium have to be carefully monitored during such a treatment.

I am just trying to get to know all the pro cycling teams in the US.

TT stands for "Trade Team" - the classification of TT1/2/3 teams is now outdated. The Discovery Channel Pro Cycling Team is a Pro Tour team as classified by the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI). The Pro Tour teams are the top tier of professional cycling.\n\nHere's the official descriptions of the five tiers of teams as categorized by the UCI:\n\nUCI ProTeams\n\nThese structures are able to obtain a UCI ProTour licence for a maximum duration of 4 years. Licences are awarded based on strict sporting, ethical, legal and financial criteria.\n\nUCI Professional Continental Teams\n\nThese are professional structures which have successfully passed a financial and legal audit carried out by the UCI. The status of UCI Professional Continental Teams must be renewed each year.\n\nUCI Continental Teams\n\nThese are structures, professional or non-professional, that are recognized and certified by the National Federation (NF) from the country where the majority of its athletes come from. Each NF can register a maximum of 15 UCI Continental Teams. These must fulfill the following criteria: 8 to 16 athletes, the majority of them who are under 28.\n\nNational Teams\n\nThere are no changes to the structure of National Teams.\n\nRegional and Club Teams\n\nLike in the past, these structures will have limited access to races in the UCI Continental Circuits. They are placed under the responsibility and authority of NFs.


first I've been accepted in my country university in some colege that I do'nt like very mutch

If you are studying a different country, then study in that country. Of course it's better.\n\nIf it is a more general course that you could take anywhere, then find a university that is considered an authority on the subject.\n\nThat's a very general question, so I'm not sure how to answer. Just do some research. Yahoo Answers (in many ways) isn't a research site.


then why are the free radicals thus formed neutral, shouldnt they have +ve charge(still deffiecent of one electron) .a covalent bond is formed when 2 atoms each defficent of an electron shares it with another atom.so when the bond breaks , the intially shared electrons just remain eith their original atoms,so actually no atom actually gains any electrons

This has an obvious answer, in a covalent bond, each atom contributes an electron & in turn shares the other electron contributed by other atom. Compare this situation with Ionic bond where electrns get completely transferred & the atoms get ionized (charged). So it concludes that atoms are neutral originally (Obviously).\nSo in a homolytic fission when electrons contributed by atoms are RETURNED back to them, why should they get charged ? They in a sense return to their original NEUTRAL atomic state i.e. a free & reactive radical .\n\nHAPPY NEW YEAR !\n:-)

Because they don't love women..They love themselves...I love women and appreciate all types,sizes, ages and personalities.

Perhaps asked one too many times, but I'd like to hear your opinions.

No.\n\n1. He uses his religion to dictate policy.\n2. He lies to the american people, often not for their own good.\n3. He misleads the commanders and generals in the field to get his own agend passed.\n4. He lies and misleads the United Nations.\n5. He wiretapps innocent americans and expects to pass it off as anti-terrorism efforts.\n6. He has started a huge 'political and religious' war against terrorists, and neglects to cover losses in the united states such as hunger, drugs, poverty, guns and hate crimes.\n7. He is staunchly against gay and lesbian rights, which as they are americans should be affored the same rights and roles as everyone else.\n8. He flaunts his power, even though he doesn't have a clue on how to use it.  His IQ is one of the lowest of any president in history; he hasn't written any of his own speeches, let alone a book about his policy and life.  In general his intelligence leaves quite a bit to be desired.\n9. He doesn't seem to care about world policy; it is his way or the highway.\n10. He has put our boarders at risk, even from the canadians.\n11. He has severed ties to some of our oldest allies, simply because some of our allies think that he has gone to far in his push for world peace.\n12. He is constantly trying to push his world agenda onto other conountries, and forcing democracy into their countries without their consent.\n13. He doesn't feel that those who are not christian should have the same rights as those that are.\n14. He doesn't feel that POW's are entitled to any basic civil liberties.\n15. He doesn't aggree with the Geneva Convention, in fact he has wanted to rewrite it several times.\n16. He wants to actually remove us from our seat at the UN, which would be catastrophic to the agency as we hold a founding seat.\n17. He has invaded Iraq under false pretenses, and continously defends our rights there; whereas we should have no rights there as that is NOT our country or our protectorate, instead it is the soverign right of the iraqi people, not americans.\n18. He neglects his duty as president and spends more than 1/2 his normal time and term on vacation or away from the white house.\n19. He cuts funding to military bases, military outposts, military members and families; and then increases funding for anti terrorism funds with said cuts.\n20. He cuts funding for military housing for families in need.\n\nThose are the top 20 reason why i believe he is a bad president.


she says she can't see us together in the future because we have split up twice and no marriage that is meant to be should split up twice within 5 years that is saying that we are not meant to be

It sounds like she's not interested in working things out.

I started off with my Masters program in Electrical Engineering in University of Arizona, Tucson where I did four graduate level courses. Later I shifted to California State University at Los Angeles (CSULA) and did two graduate level courses in Electrical Engineering program. Now I received admission into Masters in Electrical Engineering in University of Southern California (USC) for Spring 2005. But I have found that USC would transfer only 4 units and that I would have to mostly do all the 27 units required for the Masters program in USC. That would cost me 27x1100 approx = 30,000 approx USD. Is it really worth graduating from University of Southern California spending that much money? Can I get the same job graduating from CSULA as I would get graduating from USC?

As someone in the technology field in the Los Angeles area, I would have to say that the USC degree is worth more than one from CSULA, because of the quality of the professors and program. USC's EE program is much higher rated that any CS school--in fact it's ranked among MIT, Stanford, Caltech, CMU, and others as one of the top schools in the nation according to the U.S. News and World Report. (That said, I got my own degree there...) The rankings were 1. MIT 2. Stanford 3. Berkeley 4. Georgia Tech / U of Illinois Urbana 6. Univ. of Michigan 7. USC Viterbi School 8. Caltech 9. Carnegie Mellon 10. Purdue.

Why do the investigators in the television show CSI always look at rooms in the dark, with flashlights?

For forensic reasons but also for the effect of the show. Psychologically our minds view dark places with more suspense and anticipation. It is exploring the unknown. If you think about other movies or shows that explore the crime scene in daylight it simply does not have the same suspense factor.

Average out of college bio/life science job starts at around USD 30K. Assuming you have three years of experience, and if you were working for the company, you'd receive a 5% raise each year for the job well done, you're looking at $35K as target range.

how i can find the file SKU011.CAB TO repair my program


They should include different kinds of language games, warmers, conversation starters and alike. The more sites, the better.....

There are many many many sites available on the net for us English teachers.  What I usually do when I'm searching for activities is google with the term "ESL" and then some other descriptive term that fits what I'm looking for. \n\nFor example, if I'm looking for a site that has a game that teaches my beginning-level ESL class about how to tell time, I might search on "beginning ESL time".  Believe me, you will find lots of sites that way!\n\nI'm also including the link to Dave's ESL Cafe, a well-known site of the type you're looking for.

Suppose you were the general manager in the big company.One of your employees is very busy with several projects.For the reason of working efficiency,you turn over one the projects to another employee at the meeting without informing him before the meeting,so this employee felt hurt and losing face.Now what would you, the general manager say to him? \n(I am a chinese english learner. I'd like to know how the native english speakers making apologies to the above mentioned employee. Please offer more responses ranging simple ones to complicated ones in that situation.Sincerely thank you!)

Well, the best way to tell is to invite him to lunch one day and take him out and make good friends of him and eventually he might forgive and forget the mistake.\n\nIf you dont like this then you could talk to him about it when ever you get to personally meet him.\n\nYou could also email him saying that You did not mean exactly what went wrong, but yet making him understand that you are equal to all employess. End the email with, I have lots of confidence on the other projects he was doing and that you did not want to put pressure on him with more of the projects.


Acceptable in different continents/countries...

no, it would be a terrible idea, even though the euro is doing good despite the fact that some of the nations that joined had poor economies, the majority of the economies that joined were well standing by themselves.  If we made a world currency than we would have to take into account the poor economies that would join (i.e. africa, mexico, most of south america etc..) \nwhich would drag down the value of the global currency and hurt everyone in the end.


The Democratic party has, in general, proven itself to be anti-liberation, anti-progress and in many cases anti-American.\n\nSpecifically, the party has been a vocal opponent of the liberation of the Iraqi people and consistently displayed profound disrespect and ignorance regarding  the dangerous and hard work of our military.\n\nWith the clear success of the Iraq war and the ongoing liberation of the Iraqi people, I wonder if the Democratic party can live down this public record of stupidity in time for the 2008 presidential election?\n\nAnd if so, how?

They sure picked a bad time to open their mouths and say stupid things.  I know I won't forget what they did at this time.  What they have been doing borders on being anti-American, even treasonous.  I mean, the day before elections in which 70% of the Iraqi populous turned out, you have Weseley Clark saying we are losing the war.  Is that stupid, or what? (And I don't use the word "stupid" too often.)


This question is in regard to the legalities of fire investigation.

If you include that this deception is propogated between two or more people, you've got a pretty good definition of conspiracy, as it is, it's most like a definition of fraud.


You can check out Icecast, and read this tutorial (http://radio.about.com/library/weekly/aa013003a.htm ) from the About Network.  Icecast streaming software is free but I'm not sure it will do what you want, it's worth a look anyway, it's also opensource.


Why is it done? Is something special supposed to happen?

It isn't really a tradition but don't tell anyone.  So far it's worked every year!
