Estimates of the number of genes in an organism are somewhat controversial because they depend on the discovery of genes, and no techniques currently exist to prove that a DNA sequence contains no gene.

Why is when you are married people start to look at u different.?

I agree.  Women not only get more bold with you but they check your wife out a lot I suppose to see the competition.  These kind of women also seem to be the ones most likely to get jealous when their own boyfriends or husbands look at other women.  Maybe it's true that the jealous types are that way because they know what's really going through other peoples minds because it's the same as their own.


OMG! I just found that I have to memorize 93 voacbulary words for tomorrow, How do I do that???

Do you think Western Culture/Medicine will ever accept or invest in Phytopharmaceuticals or Eastern Medicine?

I really hope that more support for Eastern Medicines will grow within the next few years.  To be honest, Western Medicine, for the most part, is a reactive medicine, whereas, Eastern Medicines are more preventative.  The results are normally longer lasting as well.\n\n-Colourgirlie ^_^.

We do use metric in the sciences :)  However industry is a major source of the problem.  Many of our standards are defined in the American Engineering System.  Changing these is far more complicated...(it does drive me crazy working with all of these units).  However industry doesn't change because customers don't want to change.  Clients,customers know production rates in lb/hr, heat/energy requirements Btu/hr.  \n\nImagine trying to get the entire population to suddenly switch from gallons to liters of gas.  Ohhh scary...its so hard...the general population is lazy and just doesn't want to learn or change.  \n\nHowever take note...at least some things are in metric.  Your electric bill is in kWh.

If you are talking about Operating Systems, then my favorite would be Microsoft Windows Xp Pro with SP2. Very good operating system if you just leave it alone and don't install tons and tons of software... I do have an interest in Linux operating systems... but I am not very familiar with how they work. \n\nIf you are talking about software in general; additionaly, software that runs on Microsoft Windows, I would then have to say that I enjoy programs such as Adobe products and Microsoft Office with Front Page.


how to divide a big project into small projects?

Regardless of topic or size, one of the first steps to a successful project is breaking down the work to be done into manageable chunks.  Official terminology calls this decomposing the project.  It involves taking the scope, resources and time, putting them into a work breakdown structure (WBS) and creating a project plan.\n\nThere are tons of resources on the topic of project management on the web.  A few great starting points are the links below.  Of course, a search engine, can help you with specific problems.


See many sources of definition here:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?hl=en&hs=Aak&lr=&safe=off&oi=defmore&defl=en&q=define:Homosexual\n\nYou can also get defintions in other languages there.\n\nIt's genrally used to refer to someone who is emotionally, physically, and/or sexually attracted or committed to members of the same sex.


If you're talking about what I think you are, then it is not dangerous at all. It can spray a nasty vineger stuff to scare off predators, which would hurt if you get it in your eyes.

It's called a vinegarone, or sometimes a whipscorpions. Whipscorpion can sometimes give you the wrong thing though, like the picture I gave earlier. Try the other link or look up some more.


what is the slope of the line with equation 2x + y = 6?

The “slope” of a line is the change in one variable with respect to the change in the other variable.  For example: rise over run.  \n\nThe change in Y with respect to X is indeed -2.  As X increases by one Y will decrease by two.\n\nHowever you may also be interested to know the change in X with respect to Y is: -1/2.  As Y increases by one X will decrease by ½.

do you see alot of celebrtys  if you lived in New York City?

Yes and No. I lived in NYC and LA and the difference is that in NYC you would see a celebrity riding the subway or walking next to you on the sidewalk. It is a very casual encounter. In LA, no one walks so it is more likely that you will see someone at a restaurant than on the sidewalk. Very unusual to see someone while driving along the freeway.

Depends.  Norton is probably the best but is a resource hog.  If you have an older machine it will slow you down.  McAfee has been known to cause problems with some machines but is good at finding viruses.  Today all the major software companies share their virus detection so there really isn't too much difference. \nIf you want a free one AVG from Grisoft is the best free one.  Download link here:\nhttp://www.grisoft.com/doc/40/lng/ww \n\nCheck your ISP.  Some have cut a deal with a company and offer you a free download.  Optonline, for example offers free Etrust from Computer Associates.\n\nWhatever you do don't venture out into the internet naked especially if you have a broadband connection.  Get something.  An anti virus, if you are on broadband, a firewall such as Zonealarm available here:\nhttp://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp\nor Outpost. and at least two anti spyware applications such as Adaware, spybot or microsoft.  All are free.  The firewall in SP-2 for XP is not sufficient.

Why is 911? Are 911 and 9/11 have something in common?

The new emergency number had to be three numbers that were not in use in the United States or Canada as the first three numbers of any phone number or area code, and the numbers had to be easy to use. The Federal Trade Commission along with AT&T (which held a monopoly on phone services at that time) originally announced the plans to build the first 911 system in Huntington, Indiana. Bob Gallagher, President of the Alabama Telephone, was annoyed that the independent phone industry had not been consulted. Gallagher decided to beat AT&T to the punch line and have the first 911 emergency service built in Haleyville, Alabama.  \nI got that from: http://inventors.about.com/library/inventors/bl911.htm\nHere is more information: http://www.911dispatch.com/911/history/\n\nAs for the similarties, we do not know for sure, but it may have been that Bin Laden was trying to make a symbolic gesture by using the date 9/11.

what is the definition of nucleolus and its function?

The nucleolus is found in the nucleus.  It is where ribosomes are produced.


Earth has a surface area of 196,940,400 square miles, slightly less than a perfect ball with a diameter of 7913.5 miles The surface area of the seven continents and all the islands of the world is about 57 million miles, while the total area of the six habitable continents (Antarctica excluded) is around 52 million square miles. \n\nThe human population on earth has crossed six billion. If we distribute all the exposed land evenly among all mankind, 133 people would have to share one square mile. What that means is that every single person on Earth, man woman and child would have close to five acres of land for his or her use. More precisely, each person would get 209,000 square feet of land, or a square plot of land 457 feet on each side. \n\nNot all this land can be used beneficially however. A significant portion of the Earth's exposed land is unhabitable or cannot be used for any agricultural purpose. Large portions lie in the far north. Large portions are extremely arid. Large portions are very mountainous. In sum, only about one fourth of all the land on earth, or somewhat more than 12 million square miles, is arable. \n\nToday, over half of the arable land in the world is in fact not under cultivation. Bringing the unused land into service in many cases would require huge investments of money and effort, and would do considerable damage to the environment. For example, only about 28% of the arable land on the African continent is used for growing crops. Immense tracts of forests or jungles would have to be cleared to bring the rest of the arable land on that continent to productive use. \n\nThus, only about one eighth of each imaginary plot of land distributed to each person is land which is under cultivation. In effect, each person has a piece of land about 26,000 square feet (a square 161 feet on each side or just a bit more than ½ an acre) at his or her disposal on which to grow all that he or she needs.


Is glass considered a solid or a liquid?

Glass is an amorphous solid, meaning it does not have a crystalline structure, like most solids. The belief that it flows is due mainly to the fact that old windows appear to be thicker at the bottom than the top. This is because they were actually installed thicker at the bottom than the top. The predicted relaxation time for glass is 10^32 years.


how do i get rid of a dialer/hacker/virus on microsoft xp2000 business after it's been cleared 3x?

If the situation is that bad, I'd recommend that you reformat your hard drive.  Chances are, there were programs installed on your computer that keeps the doors open.  Unplug all DSL, wireless, or modem connections.  Put in your reinstall CD from the computer manufacturer (if not available, put in a WIN XP cd) and then turn on your machine (meaning shut it down manually then turn it on).  The CD will prompt you to reformat (delete) everything and install everything fresh.  Once done, then put on antivirus and network/internet security, spyware protection software.  Then connect back to the internet.  It'll give you a fresh start and make sure all potential virus/programs have been wiped away.


Can you give me a website that tells me the viewpoints of the President?

Well, the most obvious answer is the White House's website, http://www.whitehouse.gov/ There is also a page about the President specifically, http://www.whitehouse.gov/president/ It is hard to say whether or not those sites say what his views really are, or are merely political posturing, but it's unlikely you'll get a more accurate presentation anywhere else.

If you are getting the phone calls at home then you can contact your phone company and place a block on the number that is calling you.  If the calls are coming from an anonymous number then you can get Anonymous Call Rejection added to your line so that when a person calls you and blocks their number your phone never rings.  If you are getting the phone calls on your cell phone then you’re not as lucky.  Unlike landline phones, cell phone companies don't currently offer Anonymous Call Rejection service. If the person that is calling you happens to be blocking their number then there isn’t much you can do. However, if the person that is calling you is not blocking their number then you can just keep your phone from ringing when they call. All you have to do is add the person's phone number in your cell phone's address book, and then set the custom ring for that person to silent. This means that your phone will ring normally for your calls, but stay silent when that person you are trying to avoid calls. The only downside to this is that the person will still appear in your missed calls log every time they call you.

Where can I learn about using puts and calls?

Puts and calls are examples of options in the stock and bond market. \n\nIn the special language of options, contracts fall into two categories - Calls and Puts. A Call represents the right of the holder to buy stock. A Put represents the right of the holder to sell stock. \n\nCall Options\nA Call option is a contract that gives the buyer the right to buy 100 shares of an underlying stock at a predetermined price (the strike price) for a preset period of time. The seller of a Call option is obligated to sell the underlying security if the Call buyer exercises his or her option to buy on or before the option expiration date. For example, an American-style WXYZ Corporation May 60 Call entitles the buyer to purchase 100 shares of WXYZ Corporation common stock at $60 per share at any time prior to the option's expiration date in May.\n\nPut Options\nA Put option is a contract that gives the buyer the right to sell 100 shares of an underlying stock at a predetermined price for a preset time period. The seller of a Put option is obligated to buy the underlying security if the Put buyer exercises his or her option to sell on or before the option expiration date. Likewise, an American-style WXYZ Corporation. May 60 Put entitles the buyer to sell 100 shares of WXYZ Corp. common stock at $60 per share at any time prior to the option's expiration date in May.\n\nThe Expiration Process\nAt any given time, an option can be bought or sold with one of four expiration dates. This is indicated by a month and year description. The expiration date is the last day an option exists. For listed stock options, this is the Saturday following the third Friday of the expiration month. Please note that this is the deadline by which brokerage firms must submit exercise notices. You should ask your firm to explain its exercise procedures including any deadline the firm may have for exercise instructions on the last trading day before expiration. \n\nExercising the Option\nOptions traders don’t actually have to buy or sell the underlying shares that are associated with their options. They can and often do simply opt to resell their options - or "trade out of their options positions". If they do choose to purchase or sell the underlying shares represented by their options, this is Called exercising the option. \n\nFrom the NASDAQ Website, where there is a neat table showing what these mean for buyers and sellers:\nhttp://www.nasdaq.com/options/ed_what2a.stm\n\nThere is a great discussion of these on the Motley Fool website:\n\nhttp://www.fool.com/foolu/askfoolu/2002/askfoolu020916.htm

why are nhl hockey games games blacked out?

Ram had it right. The rules are set to encourage people to go to the stadium/arena to watch the game (increases revenue from concessions, souveneirs, etc.). Without these rules, nearly everyone would watch the games on TV, thus hurting revenue (though they'd have more commercials to compensate for the lack of people attending the games). \nI'm assuming this is like NHL Center Ice on either satellite or cable, and they use the local feeds in most cases (though I do know "National" televised games have been blacked out in the location of the game if the venue hasn't been declared "Sold Out."\nIn addition, some venues will have different numbers for capacity (usually physical and "sell-out"). Most of the time, there will be little difference, but this will accomodate things like skyboxes and exclude walk-up seating like "standing room only" or "general admission."


search engine algorithm and ranking of websites?

Your rank in a search engine depends on various factors, but majorly on the rank is based on the number of links from other websites to your web page. \n\nSecondly, Every one thinks Google algorithm is a secret. By the way, Serge Brin and Larry Page them selves published a research paper informing about the technology in 1998, when Google was a prototype called as Back Rub. Here is the link:\n\nhttp://www-db.stanford.edu/~backrub/google.html


Is there really a need to provide different formats for video and audio?

Quite unequivocally, yes. A visually impaired user may not be able to see a video; a user with a hearing impairment may not be able to hear an audio track. If developers don't provide essential visual or aural information in alternative formats (even as a simple description or text transcript), some users will not be able to take advantage of the information you're putting on your site. \n\nAs is often the case, adding what would be considered 'accessibility' features can have benefits for all users, not just users with disabilities. For example, imagine that you're writing an article or research paper, and you want to include a quote from a conference's speech. If the speech is only available as an audio file (a podcast, to use the term 'du jour'), you'll have to listen to the audio and manually type up your quote. If the speech is also made available as a transcript, it simply becomes a matter of copying and pasting. And of course, search engines can't index the content of audio/video files.


how do you fall OUT of love with someone???...if u love them so much?

Its weird, but I sorta have this switch in my head that one day I look at the guy I'm with and all of a sudden, he's the most obnoxious, ugly guy I have ever seen in my life!  I think... "how did I do this?!?!"  I don't know what does it, but it happens all at once for me.  I have dated a few people where I fell out of love just as quickly as I fell in love, and I don't know why either happened!  Fortunately, I am in love now, and have no plans to fall out of love unless he does something to make it that way!!  ;)

Where did the phrase "the whole nine yards" come from?

There are a variety of theories and no one knows for sure.   The origin I think most likely is that it came from the military.   Machine gun belts were 27 feet long, thus a target that got an entire belt of amunition would get "the whole nine yards".

Anyone know somewhere selling Snoopy head slippers?

Currently, eBay is the only place that I know of to get something like this.  I just did a search for "snoopy slippers" and 34 auctions came up.  Not all of them are what you want, but many are close.  If you want the style where the entire slipper is one single head (instead of just a stuffed head attached at the front of the slipper) then I didn't see one listed, but one might turn up or you might find a style that also appeals to you.\n\nBy the way, you probably already consulted these, but the best places to search for and buy Snoopy stuff are:\nwww.snoopygift.com\nwww.snoopystore.com\nwww.campsnoopy.com\nwww.joecollector.com\nwww.SnodgrassSales.com\nwww.snoop2nuts.com\nTurka-llectables (snpyplus@salsgiver.com -- no website)\n\nGood luck!


how long does it take a dog to give birth to her puppies?

It depends on the breed of dog. Larger dogs usually have more pups so it would take them longer to deliver. It also depends on if it is the first litter of pups. Labor is the same for dogs as it is for humans. The first one is usually the longest and hardest.

Our life is a journey for us to experience, learn and grow.  I don't believe death is the end; it is just a doorway to another existence for us.  I think that what we learn in this life we carry with us.\n\nGod also put us here to be witnesses to God's creation.  We have a mission to share and spread God's love and wisdom to the world.\n\nLife is so unexpectedly strange, painful and wonderful.  Going thru it with everything you have is the only way you will see how it all turns out.


how do u teach a spoild kid how to behave?

I was your daughter, once upon a time. What my mother did with me was to inform me of the consequences if I did something & then she carried it out...consistency is the only way to deal with this. I was an only child so I had just about everything a kid could want in my room. When I was bad, I was not allowed to play in my room; instead being relegated to the end of the couch in the living room where she could keep an eye on me while she went about her daily chores. There was nothing in this world that I hated more than being made to sit at the end of that couch because there was no TV, no radio, no nothing. I was told that, if I put even one foot on the floor & didn't sit there like a little lady, I would get a spanking...it worked wonders.\n\nAs for sharing - if your daughter has a problem with it - try the following. If I refused to share a toy with a little friend, my mother would take it from me. She'd put it away for later but she would tell me that if I didn't learn to share, she was going to give them away. It was just my mother's luck, I guess, that soon after this first incident, a friend of mine was having a birthday party & my mother had gotten her something that I also had & she knew the girl particularly liked. While it is true that she had to take me home from the party early because I launched into a screaming & crying fit (thinking the girl had been given my toy), you can bet that I learned that lesson immediately :) It wasn't until I was in my thirties that the subject came up one day & Mom realized what was behind my little fit...not fun to have your parent laugh at you when you are an adult :)\n\nBTW, a friend of mine uses a variation of the sitting on the couch routine when her child is bad. Difference is, she makes her kid sit on the sofa with the computer, radio & television all in the same room & turned off...drives her daughter crazy. Another friend has a kid who loves video games &, when he is being difficult, she takes them away & lets his brother play them in the other room; within the child's hearing. I, personally, think this is a little mean & somewhat harsh, but it seems to work for her son.\n\nI think that is really the trick to getting them to behave in that every kid is different & you have to find out what gets under their skin. Its not to be mean, of course, it is so that you have that leverage that you need to keep them in line. I can assure you that by the time & was six or seven, my mother only need look at me in a particular way & I would not only shut my mouth, but immediately try to make myself invisible. At the same time, I never lived in fear of her...only of her being angry with me...big difference...\n\nGood luck!


how does computer data transfer from one network to another network?

In a basic rundown, it uses packets.  Each packet is made of bits of information.  The packet has a header and trailer used to notate what the packet contains and also some error correction information to ensure that it did not get corrupted in transit.  It is also important to note that while it is still in the "network" it is called a frame, and when it is outside of the netowork its a packet.  A packet travels from yahoo.com into your companys network where it becomes a frame, then to your computer.

Would you rather burn or freexe to death?

Freeze by and far.  You body just shuts down (goes into shock) and everything stops.  There's a big difference between having your hands or feet be so cold you can't feel them to getting a burn on your hand or foot.  I imagine the difference is the same with freezing to death vs burning.


It is costumary for a man to slightly bow his head when meeting her for the first time. Also it is costumary for a man to wait for the women to extand her hand to shake. These are the sort of rules I might use when am in a formal situation, or meeting my grandmother's friends, but not one for more casual encounters among friends or at the work place.

How come mp3 files are downloaded very fast & acqire so little disc space?

Because they are compressed. Normally a cd-quality uncompressed sound file uses about 172 KB/s, or 10 MB/min. Through a smart algorithm, mp3 files use a lot less space (typically 960 KB/min) to store a simplification of the original sound, and you can hardly tell the difference, because of the way the human ear and brain receive the sound.

How much should you tip a waiter/waitress?

How much you should tip at a restaurant depends on these factors: the size of your party, the class of the restaurant, and the quality of the service. In this case we'll call a large party anything over 6 people, and an expensive restaurant a "four-star" restaurant. But first let's consider more humble establishments.\n\nProviding the service was good, a tip of 15% of the bill before tax is a good rule of thumb. If you happen to live where the state tax is between 7% and 8% you can calculate the tip easily by looking at the amount you are taxed and simply doubling it. You can then round this amount off higher or lower, depending on the service and your state's tax percentage.


I see people run succesfull stores on ebay selling DVD's  (Not copies or used movies) Where do they get them?

You get paid for selling DVDs, Books, Music, ect. by joining either a reseller or an affiliate program from the distributor. A fantastic resource for affiliate sales is Commission Junction http://www.cj.com/, Share A Sale http://www.shareasale.com , and Link Share http://www.linkshare.com/ . Each of these companies is respected as the leading edge of Affiliate programs and I have used them for years without fail of being paid. You can make money on e-Bay and you can do even better with an e-Commerce domain. If you need any help getting started with any of these please contact me from the source link below.


I am checking on a 1999 dollar bill with a star after the serial number. Is it worth anything?

The star after the serial number is a replacement note that was issued to take the place of a defective note that was discovered. Since it's too cost-prohibitive to re-issue the same serial number, it's easier to print up a bunch of star notes and then use them to fill the stack once the defects are pulled out. Most star notes don't command a premium unless they are uncirculated, and/or have a real interesting serial number.

It is okay to look at others, but a person should have respect not to do it so obviously in front of his girlfriend.\n\nI don't think he will do anything with the other girls.

If this doesn't slow down, it might be time for a new boyfriend.  One that respect you.

What kind of jobs exist for a computer scientist that would let me travel internationally a lot?

You'd have to be a GLOBAL PROJECT MANAGER or SOFTWARE-VENTURE CAPITALIST. To get an equitable position I would suggest taking classes in Cross-Cultural Communications; International Business Law; Project Management (you can do these online - inexpensive and easy). If you know an additional languages it would help. Languages that will be of advantage would be Mandarin (for China); Hindi (for India - though most Indian's are versatile in english). \n\nIf you can try this strategy. Plan a trip to Singapore via India. Print a business card a Global Business Consultant and try to network with people you know who have contact in Singapore and India. Tell them that you are lookig at the possibility of venturing into your own business. They'd be happy to help. On your stop over in India connect with Indian software developers - get to know them; talk about their business model, offer them any genuine help you can. In Singapore there are meet with the same genre of people and do some networking. Now please understand, all you are doing is 'Working yourself' and 'networking'.\n\nOnce you have visited them, you can put it on your resume that you were a STRATEGIC CONSULTANT or GLOBAL BUSINESS ADVISOR to these organizations. Happy job Hunting - Big Risks Bring Big Rewards!!\n\nLet me know how it goes. All the best. (In fact I should be doing this!)

Hydrobenzamide (1) was made by reacting concentrated ammonia with benzaldehyde, had been discovered by a French scientist in 1836. When it is heated to about 130C it rearranges to amarine (2). Organic analysis at this time was very primitive and organic chemistry was still not very organised. Borodin (chemist)used different structural formulae to the ones we are used to using now. Nevertheless, Borodin correctly concluded from studying the action of ethyl iodide on the two compounds that hydrogen is attached to nitrogen in amarine but not in hydrobenzamide. Many years later he published a paper describing the decomposition of nitrosoamarine to lophine (3).

Are there any home redies for dry scalp?

For one........don't over wash your hair!\nYour body produces natural oils for a reason.\nWash in the P.M. then allow the night oils to help the scalp, skip days if possible.\n\nMixing Mayonaise and pure olive oil into a conditioner then put your head and rub in.Wrap your head in a moist hot towel for 1/2 hour. Rinse gently in warm water, do not shampoo. and leave overnight. Shampoo lightly in the A.M if you have to.\nIf that fails after multiple trys..... Head and Shoulders has a 2 in 1 for dry scalp with menthol to sooth the itch.\nAsk you doctor if you may be suffering from allergies as well.

what context do people use the phrase 'Red Herring', and what does it mean?

A "Red Herring" is something that is used to divert attention from the basic issue.  Here are two examples:\n\nBaseball player Mark McGwire just retired. Clearly, he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. After all, he's such a nice guy, and he gives a lot of money to all sorts of charities. (Friendliness and charity are not qualifications for induction into the Hall of Fame, therefore they do not support the conclusion.) \n\nThe premier's tax policies may be popular, but I suspect he had an affair and is paying the woman to keep quiet. The media should investigate that! (This is an example of a red herring, as the speaker attempts to distract from tax policy with the unrelated matter of the alleged affair.)

Why are christians losing Bethlehem to muslims?

This only poses a problem for Christians who believe the Messiah must be born in Bethlehem based on a misreading of  Michah 5:2 as their proof:\n\n"But you Bethlehem Ephratah, though you are small among the thousands of Judah, out of you will come to Me one who will be ruler in Israel, whose goings out are from ancient time, from days of old."\n\nThis verse is not a prophecy that the Messiah will be born in Bethlehem. The passage simply states it has been preordained that the Messiah would be able to trace his roots back to Bethlehem. This is\nconsistent with the biblical statement that the Messiah will be a descendant of King David, who was from Bethlehem, as seen in I Samuel 16:18.\n\nWith a correct reading of Michah 5:2, whether muslims take control of Bethlehem or not, it wont affect God's mission of bringing the Messiah (Muslims also await the coming of the Messiah).\n\nIf you believe in God and the coming of the Messiah, have a little *more* faith in God's power and abilities and all will all right.\n\nNow look busy, Messiah is coming !

How many years does the summer in Uranus last?

Summer on Uranus lasts 21 years using the definition of 4 equal seasons. However, the period between vernal (spring) equinox and autumnal equinox is actually 42 years. This year is the vernal equinox.\nI quote:\n"The extreme tilt of the axis of Uranus has important implications for the weather on that planet. Consider how the seasons vary during the course of one uranian year:\n\n    * Winter solstice (which last occurred in 1985 AD):\n      The north pole is pointed almost directly away from the Sun.\n      The northern hemisphere experiences perpetual darkness.\n      The southern hemisphere experiences perpetual sunlight.\n    * Spring equinox (2006 AD):\n      The rotation axis is perpendicular to the Uranus-Sun direction.\n      From any point on Uranus, the Sun rises in the east\n      and sets in the west 8 1/2 hours later.\n    * Summer solstice (2027 AD): The north pole is pointed almost directly toward the Sun.\n      The north experiences perpetual sunlight.\n      The south experiences perpetual darkness."\n\nSource: http://users.zoominternet.net/~matto/M.C.A.S/notes_uranus__neptune.htm

if noise is not definitive, why is it them measured in decibels from 0-130?

According to webster's dictionary noise is loud, confused, or senseless shouting or outcry\nNoise also is one that lacks agreeable musical quality or is noticeably unpleasant b : any sound that is undesired or interferes with one's hearing of something c : an unwanted signal or a disturbance (as static or a variation of voltage) in an electronic device or instrument (as radio or television); broadly : a disturbance interfering with the operation of a usually mechanical device or system d : electromagnetic radiation (as light or radio waves) that is composed of several frequencies and that involves random changes in frequency or amplitude e : irrelevant or meaningless data or output occurring along with desired information\n\nThis to me is not definitive enough to describe a tree.  \nYes you can measure noise but "sound" seems to be a better description than noise for a tree falling (previous question)

how does temperature effects weathering?

Weathering of items implies using the natural weather to age and or blemish otherwise good items; thus increasing their hardiness, or effectiveness; some items such as leather need to be weathered to work more effectively.\n\nSevere changes within weather patterns during the weathering process can severly weaken the item being weathered.  The reason for this is that the item has to expand and contract so much that eventually it becomes spent before the process is completed.\n\nThe best way to weather an item is in a controlled environment.

What would you if your best friend told you he was gay?

If your best friend tells you he is gay, you can still be best friends. However, you should tell him if you are not interested in that kind of relationship with him and if he can't seem to accept this then two things will most likely happen. Either you will work through this or the friendship may end. P.S. Try not to be judgemental of his situation, that's just my personal opinion.

There are different types of bankruptcy, and the rules have just been tightened up by the Republican Congress to make it harder for indiviuals to recieve bankruptcy protection for their personal debts.  The old rule was that there was a 7 year peroid after declaring before you could declare again.\n\nA legal website offers this info: \n\n"A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can be filed every 8 years from a previous chapter 7 filing or 6 years from a prior chapter 13 filing. Chapter 13 can be filed 4 years from a prior Chapter 7 filing or 2 years from a prior Chapter 13 filing. Filing bankruptcy can adversely affect your ability to obtain future credit, rent housing and even negatively impact a job application, so any decision to file must be carefully considered."

Why does George Bush(our horrible president!) ALWAYS have that stupid smirk on his face?

That's the interesting thing about being the President.

When I type the name of my business on a Yahoo search. My business doesn't come up in the list. Why is that?

Hi there,\n\nWhat your talking about is Search Engine Optimization (SEO). In order to get placed in a good position or any position at all for that matter in Yahoo or any other search engine you must optimize your website to be compatible with the major search engine crawlers/spiders.\n\nAn extremely good website to look at is seomoz.org. They also have a 30 page word document you can download for free which I find extremely useful and lists the best practices for SEO. You can also simply view it on the webpage but it´s best to print it out and study it front to back if you want your website to do well. I´ve placed the link to this page below.\n\nHope This Helps!\nDAVIDOBRAINS

How much time should it take to format and partition a new hard drive.?

Formatting can be a process of at least 15-20 minutes, depends on your computer and your hard drive speeds. Partitioning can be a tricky job if you havn't done it before, so it can also take at least 20-25 minutes, depends on what kind of and how many partitions you want. So overall if everything goes on well, the whole formatting and partitioning can take 40-45 minutes (This can be 20 minutes to 1hr 30 minutes depending on the situation)

What happends if an Atom Electron will hit a Proton?

Depends upon the experimental conditions.  Electrons are not hard little balls with a negative charge.  They are best thought of as areas of possibility for the location of a wave.  The angle of interaction, the relative velocity of the electron and proton and many other factors will determine the observed effect of their interaction.  Some believe that the expectations of the observer also plays a big role.  Neutrons have been “observed” to breakdown into an electron and a proton under some conditions.  The reverse seems possible.


in the true meaning of the word, have any priesdents been impeached, who are they?

Andrew Johnson was impeached, but not removed. He relieved a member of his Cabinet, Edwin Stanton, and was immediatly impeached by the fiercly Republican Congress. Remember this was very suspicious to a North that had just won the Civil War and seen Abraham Lincoln assasinated by a Confederate nutcase.\n\nRichard M. Nixon was not impeached but he would have been for the Watergate scandal, in which he spied on political enemies. He resigned.\n\nWilliam Clinton was impeached, but not removed for his actions with Monica Lewinsky.\n\nThe Senate did not vote to impeach Clinton.

If I have custody of my sons and my ex-husband have visitation, can  I move out of state?

Your divorce decree should outline the terms of relocation with the children. I would think that you would need your ex's permission to relocate the children or be able to show in a court of law that the opportunities in MN are not at all available in MS and that relocation would best serve the children involved. Consider that what is a good oppurtunity financially for you, although may help the children in many ways, may be more harmful to your children when they are no longer able to have any, no matter how brief, relationship with their Father. This may be something to come back and bite you later if your children begin to resent you for it. Most courts will do what is in the best interest of the children, you and your ex are secondary.

If I tried turning it back on too soon after it shut off it would not take long before it would shut off again.  If I waited a while then it would take a while before it would shut off.  It would just shut off out of the blue without a Windows is shutting down screen even showing up.  Just poof.  \n\nI read where other Satellite model laptops had the issue as well.  They had to replace the heatsink and clean it out.

The higher the number the more gold, percentage wise\n\nGold is a precious metal that has been valued by people since ancient times. People use gold for coins, jewelry, ornaments, and many industrial purposes. Until recently, gold reserves formed the basis of world monetary systems. \n\nGold is a very soft metal when it is pure (24 Kt. is pure gold). Gold is the most malleable (hammerable) and ductile (able to be made into wire) metal. Gold is usually alloyed (mixed with other metals, often silver and copper) to make it less expensive and harder. The scientific abbreviation of gold is Au. \n\nThe purity of gold jewelry is measured in karats. Some countries hallmark gold with a three-digit number that indicates the parts per thousand of gold. In this system, "750" means 750/1000 gold (equal to 18K); "500" means 500/1000 gold (equal to 12K).\n\nTherefore 14K is better.


Was Gigli as bad as the crtics said it was?

It appears that it wasn't just the critics who hated it.  Rotten Tomatoes reports that only 10 critics out of 154 recorded enjoyed the movie, giving it a dismal 6% approval rating.  But according to members of the Internet Movie Database, it's the 45th-worst movie of all time, users giving it an average of 2.3 stars out of 10.  It grossed just $6 million dollars on its $54 million dollar budget, and it's considered the biggest "pop flop" of the recent era, since a whopping 97% of theaters dropped it from their playlists just two weeks in.

What is the best university in USA for foreign Mechanical Engineering students to do a Masters on?

There really is no way for anyone other than you to define your "best" university.\n\nYou can find ranking information on-line from a variety of sources.  I would encourage you, however, to contact the universities you are interested in, ask for an admissions packet, and evaluate their offerings independently.  Sometimes the "best" university isn't always the best fit for your specific needs.\n\nBest of luck!

is there any who can claim he has a belief in true love in this materialistic world?

Love is not a feeling, it is an act, wherein you overcome laziness or fear to do something for a person, be it you or another. Thus love requires effort and/or courage. The fuzzy feeling you feel is not necessarily love, when you feel you can overcome inertia or handle your fears and do something for someone, then you have love.

what is the difference between heathens and pagans?

Heathen a adheres to the religion of a people or nation that does not acknowledge the God of Judaism, Christianity, or Islam. Such persons considered as a group; the unconverted.\nhttp://www.thefreedictionary.com/heathen\n\nHeathen is from Old English hæðen "not Christian or Jewish", (c.f. Old Norse heiðinn). Historically, the term was probably influenced by Gothic haiþi "dwelling on the heath", appearing as haiþno in Ulfilas' bible as "gentile woman," (translating the Greek in Mark 7:26). This translation probably influenced by Latin paganus, "country dweller", or it was chosen because of its similarity to the Greek ethne, "gentile". It has even been suggested that Gothic haiþi is not related to "heath" at all, but rather a loan from Armenian hethanos, itself loaned from Greek ethnos.\n\nWhile\n\nPagan\nThe term pagan is from Latin paganus, an adjective originally meaning "rural", "rustic" or "of the country." As a noun, paganus was used to mean "country dweller, villager." From its earliest beginnings, Christianity spread much more quickly in major urban areas (like Antioch, Alexandria, Corinth, Rome) than in the countryside (in fact, the early church was almost entirely urban), and soon the word for "country dweller" became synonymous with someone who was "not a Christian," giving rise to the modern meaning of "pagan."\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paganism#Pagan\n\nPagan classifications\nPagan subdivisions coined by Isaac Bonewits [2]\n\n    * Paleo-Paganism: A retronym coined to contrast with "neopaganism", denoting a pagan culture that has not been disrupted by other cultures. \n    * Meso-Paganism: A group, which is, or has been, significantly influenced by monotheistic, dualistic, or nontheistic worldviews, but has been able to maintain an independence of religious practices. \n    * Neo-Paganism: An attempt by modern people to reconnect with nature, pre-Christian religions, or other nature-based spiritual paths. This definition includes such religions as Slavianstvo, Ásatrú, Neo-Druidism, and Wicca.

Is it possible that the women who suffer from epilepsy after childbirth lose her disease?

Please note that I am not a medical doctor, but do work in the field of brain research.  \nIt is definitely possible.  There are many causes of seizures following pregnancy (or during pregnancy).  One condition is called eclampsia, and is described quite well on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eclampsia).  However, the causes of eclampsia are not well understood, nor are the effects of hormones (like estrogen and progesterone) on epilepsy (search for epilepsy and pregnancy at www.pubmed.gov for research).


What programs do you people use to make good websites?

I think it's best that you "hand" code it in notepad because MSFontPage and other WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editors insert a lot of unnecessary lines of code that slows down the loading time.

For graphics you could use GIMP which is free (Google or Yahoo it), if you think you're serious about making a good website and have money then you might want to consider buying and learning Photoshop ($600). Tutorials for GIMP and Photoshop can be found at pixel2life.com . A good webhost is pretty hard to find but you could always start with GeoCities (ad supported).


How is bond length affected by the mass of a nucleus?

Interesting scenario first of all i would like to comment. Well actually the bond is due to electronic forces. Hence mass has litle effect on the bond strength. Thus i thikn the effect of mass change should be a small one!! unless you change the charge of proton too!!

Does having sex for the first time (for a woman) have to hurt?

I hear it does. But after that it gets better.


Would running Linux on a 5gig previously Win98 work alright?

The short answer is: probably.\n\nAssuming the architecture is somewhat modernish, say a Pentium 3 or beyond and you have suitable memory, you should have no trouble running the 2.6 Linux kernel.\n\nThere are several distributions that will allow you to install a "minimal" set.  5G should cover most of the base installs anyway.\n\nIf you are new to Linux, I would suggest going with Fedora, Mandrake, or SuSe.  These all have GUI installers and give you most of what you'll need to get by.  I've attached a URL where you can get some of the more common linux distributions in .ISO format.  You might also head over to Distrowatch and see if you can find a more suitable distribution for your needs.


Why do people scream when they have sex? (such as ah,ah,ah)?

It hightens the pleasure of the act as well as to release your emotions when you're in the midst of ecstacy.


Sams Club or Costco? Which do you recommend?

Sams Clun seems to specialize on cheaper stuff, always going for price vs. quality. So if budget is an issue in your family, going to Sams Club will yield smaller store receipts.\n\nCostco generally sells the products that are top sellers in a given category. Sometimes they are cheaper than competition, sometimes they are not. Generally Costco offers the best deal for the money, but it's not always the cheapest product.


Should my urine be bright yellow while taking Migrelief?

Oddly enough, yes. Migrelief contains a suppliment called Riboflavin (also known as Vitamin B2). B vitamins are commonly known to turn urine very bright yellow, so not to worry. In fact, when I began taking a complex B vitamin, it was described to me by my nutritionist "Don't worry about your pee turning bright, neon yellow. It means that the B vitamins are working." \n\nOne thing I would be careful with though is if you are taking any complex B vitamins or Multivitamins that include B vitamins, not to upset the balance of B vitamins that your body is recieving. Not that this will be harmful, necessarily, but the B vitamins, if not balanced, can be much less helpful.
