how do i secure my wireless network at home?

Tim - your priorities are in reverse order. Turning off the SSID, while probably a good idea, is not at all secure. You really need to turn on encryption. WEP is better than nothing, but is fairly easy to break. To really make your network secure, you need to use WPA2 encryption (or just WPA if your computer doesn't support WPA2, but WPA2 is better), and, of course, change the default password.\n\nMy own home network has a hidden SSID with WPA2 encryption and a good password.

Can redheads really tolerate 20% more pain than everyone else?

It seems there is uncertainty in this area of research, see http://www.aboutweblogs.com/genetics/item/2005/8/24/melanocortin-1-gene-for-red-hair-and-pain-tolerance, or if that doesn't work, this: http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:dDXZPgL1ImgJ:www.aboutweblogs.com/genetics/item/2005/8/24/melanocortin-1-gene-for-red-hair-and-pain-tolerance+redhead+pain+tolerance&hl=en\n\nTwo experiments found contradictaory results for the effects of a gene specific for red hair in women. Neither experiment has a very good base of subjects, but it looks like the answer is "we don't know"\n\nMore discussion on this can be seen here: http://www.barbelith.com/topic/12106\n\nIt should also be noted that certain individuals of any hair color can have a much higher pain threshold than the general population.


how do you know if a woman is interested in you?

She's just toying with your emotions. She is either playing hard to get... or isn't interested in you. If she just messes around with you in the movies, etc., than that's all you'll ever be to her. (at least that's what it sounds like)

What services can Yahoo provide in order to overtake Google?

The buzzword nowadays is VOIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol).\n\nFREE PC to regular Phone service. I heard that Yahoo rolled out the beta version of PC to PC phone call service, but if Yahoo can make PC-to-Phone Service free, then it can certainly overtake other companies (MSN, Skype, Vonage to name few) that provide the same service.\n\nThen, how is Yahoo geeting its money back? Ads. YES, ads on their software just like Google did with Gmail.\n\nThe other option is to charge WAY less than other companies. I bet Yahoo can make enough money from ads since millions of users will be downloading their free software to make free phone calls.\n\nMark my word, that day will come soon. If not Yahoo, some other comapany (MS, Ebay, or Google) will offer that service soon FREE of charge.


I use Vonage, cheap and reliable.  I heard of a cheaper one out there (not much cheaper), but reviews say despite the price, Vonage is clearer and more reliable.  Vonage has been around the longest too.

Whats the safest, healthest way to workout for muscle growth.?

Actually one of the safest ways to work out almost every single muscle group in your body is--------drumroll please------ SWIMMING!!  Swimming develops excellent lean muscle mass in all parts of the body as well as improving breathing efficiency and heart health.  Consider adding it to your exercise program.  If you don't believe, go look at swimmer's bodies.  IF that doesn't convince you, nothing will. ;)

Since all matter arose from the same source why aren't they all alike?

actually, they are if you think about it.  All protons, electrons, and neutrons are alike.  It's just that depending on how many of these things different atoms have makes them different elements, and gives them different properties.  Like, electrons occupy orbitals in different fashions, some are more stable, and some want to gain or lose electrons to be stable so that causes them to form compounds with other elements where one takes and one gives electrons(ionic bonds) or other compounds where they actually share electrons, forming new, hybrid orbitals(covalant bonds) and these properties give them different melting/boiling points, making them solid, liquid, and gas at different temperatures because the more stable an element or compound is, the higher its melting/boiling point will be.  Also, these properties with numbers of electrons cause the elements to absorb different wavelengths of light, and so reflecting different wavelengths and therefore different colors, making everything different colors.  Elements combining in different ways make things have different properties, and form big molecules and such, and this is what everything in the entire universe is made up of.  So down at the subatomic level, everything is made of protons, neutrons, and electrons.  And these 3 things are all made up of leptons and mesons, which are made up of quarks.  so everything boils down to quarks, so everything is a lot more alike than you think.

Which is better, Google, Yahoo!, or MSN?

My answer is google for the following reasons:\n\nPros of Google:\n\nAs a seach engine, google has the best relevance and presents the results in a way that I find easy to decide what pages are best for me. Its the best in terms of researching information.\n\nFor makin money, a #1 on google is worth many times more than a #1 on yahoo. Yahoo! blocks the top of the SERPs with sponsored ads.\n\nGoogle also has a neat interface. Yahoo is not bad too, but its interface is not that neat. The reason for that being it to be a portal. I think a nice interface is very important since people will come back more often if so.\n\nThe relevance of search results make its 'Feeling Lucky' feature pretty useful. Firefox address bar by defaults goes to 1 site listed on your search results.\n\nGoogle has tried to stay away from Spam/ misleading sites better than other search engines.\n\nCons of Google:\n\nHowever, few problems with google, its web crawler dosen't capture hyperlinks from PDF files stored on net, a feature which Yahoo provides.\n\nAlso, Google at present does not provide an index for video aggregation through the web crawler, a feature which Altavista provided since 1999. The problems include accuracy of the media file. That is the reason for providing Google Videos where users have to submit videos.\n\nDue to a larger share of 'searching' community, Google has been targeted by bloggers by planting Google Bombs. Because most bloggers mention the word failure with President Bush's name, the #1 site on searching Failure is the website of President Bush.\n\nYahoo is doing pretty good research in Search Technologies, for example Grokker.\n\nhttp://www.grokker.com/grokker.html?query=Anirudh%20Koul&Yahoo=true&Daypop=true&numResults=250

What type of business applications can I use an iPod toward?

Easy.  The iPod 30GB brings you considerable portable storage capacity.  You can save time and money by shuffling your large files (documents, presentations, whatnot) on the iPod instead of sending them my email to yourself (which in itself wastes company money because of network traffic costs and storage costs for the large emails).

What do you do if a school singles your child out and it seems no matter what he can never do anything right?

That's a tough one.  There probably is something to some of the complaints but now it sounds like maybe he's been pegged as a problem - rightfully or not.  Why not run this one past a professional counselor who can look at things unbiased and unattached to the situation? It will cost some money, but hey, the kid is worth it!


How do I become a professional counselor?

You have to be really good at giving good advice.  Then go to college.

Benjamin Bratt (born December 16, 1963) is an American actor. Born in San Francisco, California, Bratt attended Lowell High School, earned a B.A. at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and a masters at the American Conservatory Theater, San Francisco, California. His brother Peter Bratt wrote and directed Follow Me Home.\n\nBratt's most well-known role was that of Detective Reynaldo Curtis on the television show Law & Order. The character's mestizo ancestry, a mix of Native Peruvian and German-English backgrounds, was the same as Bratt's. In 1999 and again in 2000, he was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work on the series. His more popular films include Miss Congeniality and Traffic.

"Once upon a time, there were three little girls who went the Police Academy, and they were each assigned very hazardous duties. But I took them away from all that, and now they work for me. My name is Charlie."\n\nIt all started back in 1976 with a TV series. The first to ever play the Angels were:\n\nKate Jackson.... Sabrina Duncan\nFarrah Fawcett .... Jill Munroe \nJaclyn Smith.... Kelly Garrett\n\nFarrah Fawcett was credited as Farrah Fawcett-Majors.\n\nSo, being the first to play these characters, these three actresses could be considered the "originals".


Will the Lakers win 2 games despite Kobe's two-game suspension?

The Jazz are below .500, but without Kobe, the Lakers are going to rely on guys like Odom and Smush Parker. So I believe the Lakers will lose both games vs. the Jazz.

what is the structure of sodium fluoride?

Sodium fluoride is an ionic compound, so you can't really say that you have one "molecule" of sodium fluoride. Instead, what you have is an alternating arrangement of sodium and fluoride ions in a 6-coordinate ocathedral pattern in a crystal lattice. A nice picture of this is at the website listed below.


What do you do when you are about to marry and the kids don't like you?

If you love the woman get married. My dad is going to get married and i dont like the woman but i id do anything to make my dad happy. Im 17 and shes been with me since i was 8 i think. I still dont like her. if you are loving and raise the child right i think hell accept you as a member of the family. He may never "love" you but dont take it the wrong way. I dont love anyone in the world except my dad and thats because hes been with me all my life. Do what ur heart tells you. I also suggest speaking with the childs mother and try to end this animosity. its useless to badmouth you when youre in love and are going to go through with your new life.

why do guys always change their minds about who they like??

Tiger: Don't listen to any of them, they are all wrong.\n\nThe real reason is because guys get rejected so much by the girls they ask out, that they can no longer tell if the girl they like isn't worth their time; i.e., if she'll just end up turning him down like all the rest of 'em, or if she'll actually say yes and give him a chance, unlike all those pipsqueak snobs.\n\nWhich is why, if you like him, you had better tell him now or he might get the impression that you think you are too good for him.


Do you agree that actors are better politicians than lawyers?

Yeah right. I really need someone like Susan Sarandon, Oprah, or Sean Penn to be in charge of foreign policy making decisions.  You are confusing opinions (which everyone has) with Political Science (which is very complex and difficult to master). ANYONE can act - not everyone has what it takes to be a leader.

Why indan follows western country  culture rather than indian?

Movies/Music Videos/TV Shows/Raw models.\nThe younger generation (all around the world) is extremely affected by the western culture since it's all around them (Tv, restaurants, movies).\n\nYoungsters tend to copy what others do. Movie stars look good, are dressed nice and usually are heros in the movies they act in.\n\nHence the effect of the western culture on the rest of the world and the younger generation.\n\nWhat needs to be done is use the same methods to spread your culture onto your people. Don't copy what the west is doing, that will just make you look bad (since it's easy to tell when someone is copying). Instead learn from them and apply your own vision to movies/songs you create.\n\nHope this helps.


Why is mercury a liquid? (The real reason behind it's low melting point)?

Mercury is a liquid at room temperature but can be changed to a solid if cooled to a low enough temperature or changed to a gas if heated to a high enough temperature.  This is similar to ice, water and steam but at different temperatures.\n\nIf we start with ice kept well below freezing, we can add heat and the ice will rise to the freezing point of water then begin to melt.  Melting occurs because we are adding heat energy to the water molecules which makes them vibrate.  At some point the vibrations are strong enough to break the attractive bonds between the frozen water moleclues which then become liquid.  When the ice is all melted we can add more heat to the water to raise its temperature to the boiling point.  At the boiling point the water molecules are vibrating strongly enough that some of them escape from the surface of the water to form a vapor or steam.  As more heat is added, more molecules escape and the water evaporates.\n\nMany materials, including mercury, exhibit similar solid, liquid and gaseous states depending on the temperature and strength of bonds.

Are mail carriers allowed to back up their trucks?

Nothing in Title 39 of the United States Code makes it "illegal."  Nevertheless, the Post Office may establish guidelines and regulations regarding its employees and its business practices.  It may have made the determination that traveling in reverse is too dangerous, so it is forbidden for employees to do so.  If that's the policy of the Post Office, then you'll simply have to accommodate their requirements.  While it may be "allowed," the Post Office has made a determination to forbid the practice, and it is no longer "allowed."

"The Milky Way (a translation of the Latin Via Lactea, in turn derived from the Greek Galaxia Kuklos (meaning milky way)) traditionally refers to the a hazy band of white light across the celestial sphere, formed by stars within the disc of its namesake galaxy (the plane of the Milky Way)."\n\nThere are (unfortunately) many answers to your question:\n\n"There are numerous legends in many traditions around the world regarding the creation of the Milky Way. In particular, there are two similar ancient Greek stories, that explain the etymology of the name Galaxias (Γαλαξίας) and its association with milk (γάλα). One legend describes the Milky Way as a smear of milk, created when the baby Herakles suckled from the goddess Hera. When Hera realized that the suckling infant was not her own but the illegitimate son of Zeus and another woman, she pushed it away and the spurting milk became the Milky Way.\n\nAnother story tells that the milk came from the goddess Rhea, the wife of Cronus, and the suckling infant was Zeus himself. Cronus swallowed his children to ensure his position as head of the Pantheon and sky god, and so Rhea conceived a plan to save her newborn son Zeus: She wrapped a stone in infant's clothes and gave it to Cronus to swallow. Cronus asked her to nurse the child once more before he swallowed it, and the milk that spurted when she pressed her nipple against the rock eventually became the Milky Way.\n\nOlder mythology associates the constellation with a herd of dairy cows/cattle, whose milk gives the blue glow, and where each cow is a star. As such, it is intimately associated with legends concerning the constellation of Gemini, with which it is in contact. Firstly, with Gemini, it may form the origin of the myth of Castor and Polydeuces, concerning cattle raiding. Secondly, again with Gemini, but also with other features of the Zodiac sign of Gemini (i.e. Canis Major, Orion, Auriga, and the deserted area now regarded as Camelopardalis), it may form the origin of the myth of the Cattle of Geryon, one of The Twelve Labours of Herakles.\n\nPeoples in Eastern Asia believed that the hazy band of stars was the "Silvery River" of Heaven. Also, the stars Altair and Vega were said to be two lovers, who were allowed to meet only once a year on the seventh day of the seventh month, when a flock of magpies and crows formed a bridge over the galactic river. That day is celebrated as 七夕, (literally the Seventh Night,) called Qi Xi in Chinese, Tanabata in Japanese, and Chilseok in Korean."

which is the tallest building in the world? since when? until when?

It depends on your parameters.  The tallest building in the world is the Mars drilling platform which is over 3000 ft tall including underwater structures.  The Sears tower has the tallest antenna, while the CN Tower in Toronto is the tallest freestanding structure on land.  The Taipei 101 has the highest occupied floor, however.  The Burj Dubai (under construction) will be the tallest building by far when it's completed, though.

Doesn't "expecting the unexpected" make the unexpected expected?


Nike (nī'kē) , in Greek religion and mythology, goddess of victory, daughter of Pallas and Styx. Often an attendant of Zeus or Athena, she also presided over all contests, athletic as well as military. She was a popular subject in art, usually represented as winged and bearing a wreath or palm branch. The Victory (or Nike) of Samothrace (Louvre) is one of the finest extant Greek sculptures. The Romans identified Nike with Victoria.


Where is the best place to scuba dive in the Seattle Area?

There are a number of places to dive.  I would suggest visiting a local dive store (LDS) and checking: a) on any books they have on local shore dives; b) any shop dives they do (typically these are free shore dives); and c) any local charters they do.  Heck, visit more than one LDS (i.e., fifth dimension, silent world, UWS, etc.)\n\nI think Titlow beach near Tacoma is nice as is the Edmonds underwater park.  Octopus hole and Sund Rock on Hood Canal can also be decent.  Many do the Alki area as well.  I would probably pick Edmonds but that is personal taste.  (Full dsiclosurte:  I have not done any in the San Juans, Strat of Juan de Fuca, etc. which are all likely to be much better)\n\nIn any event, the shop dives are a great way to find out about an area and do the dive with a  group who knows the area.  Then you can decide if you want to put it on your regular rotation.  The local charters (i.e., Bandido, et. al.) are also a good way to see some non-shore based sites.  Finally, the books describe many great locations.\n\nTwo final observations:  Currents matter around here and it is best to dive at slack or ebb -- check a current table and plan your dive accordingly.  Viz is better in the winter and, I think, tends to be better at high tide.

Why are there less relationships between black women and white men , and asian men and black women?

I was going to ask that too.  They are very rare, so rare that when you see it it really stands out.  I've dated black women and felt like everyone was watching, and I have a friend in LA that is married to a black woman and after 9 years he says it's always uncomfortable, especially around black men.  I can't say anything about the asian part but that you never seem to see at all.  Believe me, it's not because white men don't find black women attractive either.  I just dunno.

Euthanasia is a form of murder and thus is prohibited by the Fifth Commandment. It is a grave offense against the dignity of the human person and also against God, the Author of human life.

if a person earns a masters degree in the USA, can they use that same degree to get a job in another country.?

A degree is a piece of paper. To think it is much more than that is foolhardy. What is important is what you did to get that piece of paper.\n\nA degree is supposed to show another person that you know something. Whether or not they believe it is a totally different thing. Someone here in the U.S. may not acknowledge a degree from an American College.\n\nWhat matters then is reputation. A Harvard degree generally has more of a reputation than a University of Nevada at Reno degree, even though in some fields of study UNR may be better than Harvard.\n\nBasically, it all boils down to who you are talking to. Generally speaking, from what I have seen, degrees are universal, because knowledge is universal. Some subjects may not be transferable because of language issues, but those are the exceptions, not the rule.

Why do hockey goalies always drink from there water bottles when they get scored on?

Yay! Another Canucks fan!\n\nGoalies don't just drink when they get scored on - that's just when the camera is on them. If you think about it, most skaters are playing 20mins tops because of line changes in a 60 min game. When they're not on the ice, they're drinking. The goalie has to wait for any stoppage in the play to drink water whether that's icing, a penalty called or - when a goal is scored.\n\nIt's just that when a goal is scored on the goalie, the camera wants to see the goalie's reaction so you see it happen then.

Some suggest that the word California may signify that a place is "hot as an oven" (cali > hot, fornia > oven). It may be derived from caliente fornalia, Spanish for hot furnace, or it may come from calida fornax, Latin for hot climate.\n\nAnother possible source may be kali forno, an indigenous phrase meaning "high mountains". There is no agreement among scholars.\n\nThe name California comes from a mythical Spanish island ruled by a queen called Califia that was featured in a Spanish romance ("Las Sergas de Esplandian") written by Garcia Ordonez de Montalvo in 1510. The Spanish explorers originally thought that California was an island.

Why do people wish me a Merry Christmas when I do not celebrate the holiday?

There are two main reasons for this. I said MAIN reasons. There are, however, many others that we could address.\n\nThe first reason is that around eighty-five per cent of the citizens of the United States of America celebrate Christmas.\nIf forty-three per cent of the voters in this country could elect Bill Clinton president, then 85 per cent of the people should be able to have it their way, too.\n\nSecondly, the people who celebrate Christmas are, for the most part, kind and happy people. And when the birthday of Jesus rolls around they celebrate exuberantly. They want every one in the world to have a happy and merry time along with them.\nSaying Merry Christmas to you has nothing to do with what you personally believe in. It's what's on the greeting itself that you should concentrate. It's okay if you don't believe in it. Celebrate with the rest of us. Be happy along with us.\n\nI woudn't let anyone hug you though. Ya know?\n\nI don't even let anyone hug me at Mardi Gras.\n\nHey, now there's a celebration you oughta try if you want real happy folks around you.\n\nHave a Merry Christmas.

Does anyone have advice for a college student? \nor suggestions for a \nfirst time college \nfemale student?

College will offer many new freedom.\n\nProfessors are not like HS teachers.  They will hold your hands and request for projects that you forgot to do.  They will give you a syllabus (class objective and requirements) at the beginning of the semester, pay attention to the due dates.  Some professors will not accept late work or penalize you for late work.\n\nCollege classes are not like HS classes.  Some professors will only give one mid term and one final exam that will test your knowledge of the subject for the entire semester.  This is challenging for some HS students that are used to tests every two weeks for what you learned two weeks ago.\n\nTake a lighter class load (12 credits) to start off.  I suggest taking 3 required classes and one that you pick for yourself.  Take your required classes early in your college career.  It sucks to take them during your senior year.\n\nFind a major and stick with it.  Most graduates do not even work in their major.  Work hard and graduate with a good GPA.  A good GPA will lead to an easier time looking for work.  If you GPA is great, the employers might be looking for you instead of you interviewing for jobs.\n\nHanging out is fun, but can be bad for your grades and your chance of finishing college.  I have seen many friends party and drop out of college.\n\nRemember...\n\nCareful with new freedom\nRead syllabus and follow due dates\nTake good notes\nLight class load for first semester\nWatch out for your friends\nPick a major and stick with it\nGraduate with good GPA\nFind a job

What kind of federal government do we have in America?

In the United States, our government is the system of power that acts on behalf of its people. The U.S. government was designed to serve the American people. Our government protects our rights and preserves our freedoms. Governments are set up to make and enforce laws. In this section, we will look at the basic types of governments in the world, yet the main emphasis will be placed on the understanding our American government system.\n\nIn the United States there are three levels of government. The federal government (national level) makes and enforces laws for our nation. The fifty state governments (state level) make and enforce laws for their respective states. Each city or town in which a person lives has a city or town government (local level) that makes and enforces laws for their community. The most powerful of the three levels is our federal (national level) government.


What was the most expensive movie to make?

The most expensive movie ever made was Harry Potter and The Goblet of fire- it cost $308 million to make!


First of all, I don't think that's a fair assessment.  There are plenty of people who do in fact care very much about Africa and its people. UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders, CARE, and just about every AIDS group you can think of is involved over in Africa quite a lot.\n\nIf you mean "Why isn't Africa a higher priority for most of the world's goverments?" then I think you are hitting nearer the mark.  \n\nI'm no expert on Africa, but I think there's a couple of reasons why it doesn't peg a bit higher on the attention-o-meter insofar as the US is concerned.  \n\nHitherto, Africa hasn't had a whole lot to offer us.  Sounds harsh, I know, but it's the truth.  We are forced to deal with the Middle East because they are a big energy source, but if the oil wasn't there we wouldn't be either.  African oil is starting to become a market player now too, so some of our attention may be shifting towards that region.\n\nThe other main reason is the perception that Africa is a continent filled with people who simply cannot get their collective sh*t together.  It's brimming with petty dictatorships, bloody coups, transient goverments, unending civil wars and ethnic violence.  In the international arena there just isn't anyone reliable to deal with on a nation-to-nation level.     Our news stories have left me at least with the view that Africa is a limitless sinkhole into which all the world's largesse could be poured without doing much more than fattening up a corrupt few at the top and financing more armies to fight in the wars and/or commit the heinous genocides we read about all too often.\n\nDo the African people suffer?  Of course they do!  Most of those organizations I listed at the top are all about addressing the suffering on the individual's level.  But until Africa starts to produce more responsible goverments, not too much will ever be done geopolitically to help them.

So Pi is a number that has no end, so-to-speak. It has been calculated by computers to many many digits.

How much does an ad on the Yahoo! home page cost?

From the Wall Street Journal, November 21, 2005: The Wall Street Journal had a nice article about the sold out advertising on Yahoo!, MSN, and AOL home pages. Claiming to consistently be sold out for many months in advance too. But the real bang of the article was the cost of those large ads: AOL says prices for some ad units have increased as much as 20 percent since January 2005. MSN says it charges between several hundred thousand dollars and $1 million for a prime, 24-hour ad spot on its home page.

why is the 'p' silent in pronouncing words like psychology,pneumatics,pseudo etc.,?

"Here are three reasons why English has so many silent letters:\n\n"Old English was 90% phonemic (words sound the same as they look). But from the beginning of the 15th century, we began to borrow words from other languages. Because grammar and usage rules are different in other languages, adopted words did not follow the rules of English pronunciation.\n\n"The English language 'borrowed' the Latin alphabet, and so we have only got 26 letters to represent around 41 different significant sounds. This means that we must attempt to use combinations of letters to represent sounds.\n\n"In the Middle English Period William Caxton brought the printing press to England. As time passed, pronunciation continued to change, but the printing press preserved the old spelling. That's why today we have words that end in a silent 'e', or have other silent letters in the middle, like 'might'. In fact, modern day English is only 40% phonemic.\n\n"So are there any rules and can they help us? Axel Wijk (Regularized English, 1959, Stockholm: Almqvist & Wiksells) came up with over 100 rules for English spelling. It is claimed that by using these rules, you can spell up to 85% of the words in English with 90% accuracy. But is this really helpful? Basically, no! It gets so complicated that a much easier approach is to memorize sight words."

If you were in a plane about to crash could you jump out right before it hit the ground and be OK?

Commercial planes generally travel at over 200 miles per hour.  Even if the plane were traveling as slowly as 80 miles per hour when it crashed, you wouldn't be able to offset that speed.  If you jumped, maybe you could knock off 5 to 10 mph off of that.  You'd be better off staying in your seat with your seatbelt buckled.


Do hospitals accept non-citizens on a visitor visa giving birth in the United States?

Federal law requires hospitals to accept anyone for emergency services.  Childbirth would fall under this category.  The hospital will require payment through insurance or personal payment.  Mother of child born in the U.S. do not aquire any immigration benefits and would be subject to deportation if the mother is out of status (illegal).  The U.S. citizen child could petition for the mother of father when he or she turns 21.

We all have free will - the ability to make choices, good or bad.  Many misuse this gift and choose to  hurt others.  Some, for whatever reason, don't seem to care who they hurt.  Some believe they are doing it for a good reason (like in war).\n\nWe can't control what other people choose to do.  From your question, it sounds like you are the sort that will choose to be kind to others. ;-)

Can anyone compare nigeria and ethiopia for me?

Nigeria    (n -jîr  - )\nA country of western Africa on the Gulf of Guinea. A variety of states were established in the region prior to the arrival of Europeans, including the Bornu, Benin, and Songhai empires. Exploited by Portuguese, British, French, and Dutch traders in the 17th and 18th centuries, Nigeria was eventually claimed by the British, who consolidated the area into one colony in 1914. The country attained its independence in 1960. Abuja is the official capital (since 1991), but many government offices remain in Lagos, the former capital and the largest city. Population: 108,467,000. .\nEthiopia    (  th -  p - ) Formerly Abyssinia ( b  -s n  - ). \nA country of northeast Africa. A kingdom was established around Aksum in the 1st century A.D. and declined in the 7th century. After a long period of disorder, the area was finally reunited in 1889 by Emperor Menelik II, who greatly expanded Ethiopia by conquest. Italy invaded in 1935 and held the country until 1941. Following the military overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie (ruled 1930-1974), a socialist state was established. The country suffered enormous hardship from war with rebels from the province of Eritrea (which declared independence in 1993) and from famine and drought. Guerrilla forces toppled the government in 1991 and subsequently established a transitional government. Addis Ababa is the capital and the largest city. Population: 32,775,000.


who is better: Boston Red Sox, or the Chicago Cubs?

The Cubs have a better pitching staff when healthy with Carlos Zambrano, Kerry Wood, Greg Maddux and Mark Prior leading the way. While the Red Soxs have better hitters with good hitters such as Mike Lowell, Manny Ramirez, Trot Nixon and David Ortiz. The Red Soxs could out hit the Cubs and their pitching could keep it close enough to beat the Cubs.

Such a service is not available till now, because even the image searching has not matured up. All you can do is try searching using the various search engines, including MSN, Yahoo , Google, Dogpile, but one thing that you could do is lookup the image on the basis of its size. This would at least filter most of the results. Best of luck on the search Spree!


i need to know phisical chemical properties of  sodium thiocyanate?

from the link below, which includes a lot more information:\n\nCyanic acid (also called fulminic acid) is an unstable (explosive), poisonous, volatile, clear liquid with the structure of H-O-C=N (the oxoacid formed from the pseudohalogen cyanide), which readily polymerizes to cyamelide and fulminic acid. Cyanuric acid (also called pyrolithic acid), white monoclinic crystal with the structure of [HOC(NCOH)2N], is the compound of polymerized cyanic acid. Cyanic acid hydrolyses to ammonia and carbon dioxide in water. Its salts and esters are cyanates (or called fulminates). Esters of normal cyanic acid are not known. There is another isomeric cyanic acid with the structure of H-N=C=O, which is called isocyanic acid. Its salts and esters are isocyanates. Cyanates (or Isocyanates) are used in the manufacturing pharmaceuticals, pesticides, textile softener, lubricants and industrial disinfectants through the conversion to polycyclic compounds (such as hydantoins and imidazolons) They are used as plastic additives and as heat treatment salt formulations for metals. Thiocyanate is a salt or ester of thiocyanic acid (HSCN). Aqueous solutions of thiocyanic acid , also called sulfocyanic acid, are very strong acids of the  equilibrium mixture of thiocyanic and isothiocyanic. Thiocyanates are bonded through the sulfur(s) with the structure R-S-C¡ÕN or the isomeric R-N=C=S (isothiocyanates). Thiocyanates are bonded through the sulfur(s) which replace for the oxygen (O) atom. Thiocyanates are the sulfur analog of isocyanates. Organic as well as metallic thiocyanates [CuSCN, Ca(SCN)2, NaSCN, KSCN] are very versatile compounds. They have wide range of applications including manufacturing industrial chemicals, pharmaceuticals and pesticides. It is used in freezing solutions, fabric dyeing, electroplating, steel pickling, printing, and corrosion inhibitor against acid gases. It is used in photography industry as a stabilizer or accelerator.


where can I get a loan to redeem a house in foreclosure?

If you can't get funds from a bank, you might consider going into a partnership with a real estate investor. Have the redeem the loan for a certain percentage of the equity in the house. Agree to either sell or refinance the house within a specified number of years. \n\nYou will be giving up a chunck . . . however, you will not lose your home, you will NOT have a foreclosure on your credit report which will cost you in high or denied interest rates for many years, and within a couple years, if you keep your credit in spotless shape, you should be able to refinance and get back on track.

Should I buy step-in snowboard bindings?

it's all personal preference. Step in's were the bomb in about 98. \n\nOne thing to notice is that not many companies make true "step-in's"  nowadays. Burton has a hybrid binding called the Fusion. It looks like a regular strap binding, but the straps are on a frame that can detach from the base plate. It's hard to explain but really kool.\n\nFlows are the other main choice. The back flips down and you slide your boot in. It's quick but i don't know if the single top piece would cause pressure points.\n\nK2 also has a binding where the back drops down, very similar to Flows. \n\nPersonally, i'd say no to step ins and yes to a very comfortable strap binding. The time you "save" stepping in will just be wasted waiting for your friends to strap in.


Is www.bestpricecameras.com a trust worthy site to purchase from? Why is their stuff so much cheaper?


This could not be done on earth because of its liquid core, but perhaps it could be done on the solid moon.\n\nAt the surface of the earth, a ball (let's say of lead) would have a potential energy (PE - energy of position) relative to the center of gravity at the center of the earth.  As the ball is released into the theoretical hole, it would accelerate (like dropping it into a well) and some of the PE would be converted to kinetic energy (KE - energy of motion).  Because energy can neither be created nor destroyed, as the ball drops its speed increases and it has more KE but less PE.  The ball will continue to accelerate until it reaches the center of the earth but with less attraction from the earth's gravitational field because more and more of the earth's mass is now above (or behind) it.  At the very center of the earth the ball would have maximum KE but minimum PE.  Passing the center the process is reversed and the ball slows as it reaches the other side of the earth's surface, all the while reconverting KE to PE.  At the opposite surface the ball would have maximum PE (equal to the original PE but of opposite sign (say - instead of +).\n\nThe process could repeat forever if there is no wind resistance (perfect vacuum - like on the moon) and the hole was perfectly smooth exerting no friction as the earth spins on its axis constantly touching the ball to the sides of the hole.\n\nOf course this must be a mental exercise; but it is an interesting demonstration of physics and energy conversion in particular.  Good luck.


If you read your bible carefully, you'll find out that Adam and Eve had a LOT more than 3 kids. Check out Genesis 5:4\n     "After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he had sons and daughters."\n\nThis is mentioned after Cain finding his wife, but Chapter 5 isn't really a part of the timeline.. it's more a study of Adam's family, so it seems likely that Cain simply married one of his sisters.

What kind of bond is formed betweem two atoms due to an overlap of 1 or more electron orbitals from each atom?

The simple answer is probably: covalent bond\n\nI quote: "Covalent bonding is an intramolecular form of chemical bonding characterized by the sharing of one or more pairs of electrons between two species, producing a mutual attraction that holds the resultant molecule together. Atoms tend to share electrons in such a way that their outer electron shells are filled. Such bonds are always stronger than the intermolecular hydrogen bond and similar in strength to or stronger than the ionic bond."


Which graphics card is better, NVIDIA or ATI?

To be honest, it depends on your primary need for a video card.  Some programs run better on Nvidia, because that was what they were designed around. Some for ATI, for same reason.  I reccommend taking a look at the programs you plan to run, and see which card will work best for you.


What is the equation for standard deviation?

It's easiest to understand the equation for the standard deviation by thinking of it as the square root of the variance.  So really, you need to know the  equation for the variance.  However, there are equations for standard deviation that don't take that into account.  Either way, there are fair explainations of the meaning and equations for standard deviation and variance at the sources listed below.  \n\nFor the simplest explaination of equations for standard deviation, read the section titled "Definition and shortcut calculation of standard deviation".[1]


how does egg develop in to a complex chicken?

That's a great question. There's a whole field called developmental biology that researches how organisms develop from single cells into complex organisms. The short answer is that different genes get turned on and turned off at the right times, and this causes cells to divide, move, differentiate (turn into different kinds of cells) and make connections with other cells. A lot of work has been done and a lot of work is still being done on figuring out exactly what the signals are that make this happen in an organized way.\n\nAn important reason that a lot of people work on this, in addition to understanding our world and ourselves better, is that the genes that work during development are often the genes that get messed up in cancer and other diseases.

If its a yahoo account that you wish to close, and by closing you mean deleting the account, so that you would not have access to it again, then use this link to delete the account :\n\nhttps://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user\n\n\nSee complete datails about deleting your account here:\n\nhttp://help.yahoo.com/help/us/edit/edit-23.html\n\n\nAlso, if you do not wish to do it now, but would rather have it done on its own, then just stop using the account, it would be deactivated in some time.

I Use DSL: A Service Rep From My ISP Told Me That Every Time I Reset My Modem, My IP Changes. Is This True?

This is true.  Some ISPs will allow you to pay extra if you want a "static" IP address, one that does not change.   Otherwise you have a dynamic IP address and it changes every time.  Or at least it CAN change every time.  There's always the chance you will get reassigned the same address.


Syriana is a political thriller directed by Stephen Gaghan. Gaghan wrote the screenplay, loosely based on the book See No Evil by Robert Baer. George Clooney stars and was one of the film's executive producers (along with Steven Soderbergh, Ben Cosgrove, and Jeff Skoll).\n\nThe first scene in the movie is that of Pakistani immigrant workers boarding a bus to Iran to work in a Connex refinery. Later, they find out that they are being laid-off because of the loss of the bid to the Chinese, forcing them into poverty. This is where we meet the father and son (Wasim Khan) that will be central to this storyline.\n\nThe movie's title is somewhat ambiguous. Some have suggested that it comes from Pax Syriana, as an allusion to the necessary state of peace between Syria and the U.S. as it relates to the oil business. In a December 2005 interview, Baer told NPR that the title is a metaphor for foreign intervention in the Middle East, referring to post-World War I think tank strategic studies for the creation of an artificial state (such as Iraq, created from the elements of the former Ottoman Empire) that would ensure continued U.S. access to crude oil.

What is your investing strategy, and what is your performance?

I bought my first stocks 5 years ago. at first I didn't really know what I was doing. I just bought what I thought was good. but then I started reading about value investing and learning how to actually value a company to assess wether or not I was getting a good price for the stock.\n\nI use a valuation method that uses EPS, although most people recommend using free cash flow as a more accurate measure of a company's financial strength. Basically I try to estimate what a stock will be worth in the future, and what price I would need to buy it at now to ensure a certain rate of return.\n\nI try to keep my estimates very conservative, to have a large margin of error. so far, in 5 years, I have a total return of 43%, compared to 12.5% for the S&P 500. That comes out to 10.25% annualized, vs. 2.5% for the S&P.

i ran track in HS...why do u ask? i ran the mile and 800 and 4X800 in outdoor and in indoor i ran the 4X800 and the 600 yard dash


If you have miles/mileage, yards/yardage, feet/footage, why not inch/inchage?

To answer this, one must return to days before these were in common usage, when distances were measured in travel days, journeys, and the like.  It wasn't until much later in history that humans began to want and require more specific and detailed measurements than "over there," and "a far piece" could describe.  When those days did indeed dawn, we used such terms as yards, furlongs, miles, etc., and had specific measures for them, and as such would require a kind of reference for them as well.  \n\nEven today, we do not travel much in inches, we travel in mileage; the numbers would be too large and cumbersome for any useful meaning.  However, with the development of nanotechnology, particularly as it may impact medical procedures, there may come into common usage such terms as "inchage" and "millimeterage."

how can we send SMS via internet? Can we send to any country, please teach me i too wanna make and send sms?

The cell service provider can provide an address that looks like an e-mail with a number in the front instead of a name. Cingular uses 2135555555@cingularme.com and Verizon uses 2135555555@vtext.com where 5555555 is the local phone number for the phone you are trying to text and I used 213 which is the area code for part of LA. You just have to use the whole ten digit phone number.

Is there such a thing as absolute silence?

In music industry several time it is told that there is no such thing.Plz read this. this is amyth\n\nYes Absolute Silence excist.\n Read the below para.\n\nAbsolute Silence\nThere was an old man up there on the mountains near New Harmony. He had a long white beard, was missing a few teeth, but had the deepest gaze of any human being. He wouldn’t say a word, but he would wave, smile, and continue on in his routine. He lived in a parked trailer near the edge of a creek, and drove around in an old Chevy caked in mud. I never had the courage to go visit him, but he soon disappeared and I never saw him again. That canyon is now empty and quiet. When I go up in there, I only hear the elements, the sweet birds.\n\nThere are these reclusive types living all over the Great Basin, way out yonder where no tourist dares to venture without getting eaten by vultures. As I drive the old dirt roads across long basin valleys, ravens roost on fence lines and hover around juniper covered desert hills. It happens sporadically, but when I venture down some dirt road, I’m never surprised to cross paths with these people.\n\nYes, I may be very naïve, or very rude in mentioning the private lives of these individuals, but I hope that isn’t the case. Their way of life sparks my deep curiosity… For me, the dirt road is my trail of beauty, and the quiet landscape is my home. Home is where deep dark cloud shadows pass over carved and painted wastelands. It’s not hard for me to fall asleep a hundred miles from any services, beneath the galactic sky. I am accepting the possibility that I may become a lone drifter to the hills. When I die, I’ll be the ghost that haunts the empty landscape.

Not going out, dating but having a drink? How does that make sense?

If he's not doing the dating stuff with you, he does not consider you dating material, you are a booty call at best. I have a friend like that, she is convinced that I feel more but I htink she is just trying to make herself feel better about it even though I am honest with her. He's not being honest with you, watch your back.


WHAT HAPPENS TO KIDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA THAT HAVE BEEN PERMANETLY EXPELLED FROM SCHOOL?


whats really the truth about the da vinci code?

The first thing to remember about the "Da Vinci Code" is that it is a novel -- that is, fiction.  Much of the elaborate conspiracy / secret society / code apparatus of the novel comes from a book called "Holy Blood Holy Grail."  How much of all of that is true is open to argument; it is probably true that most religious / historical scholars reject it as fantasy.  A lot depends on how much secret conspiracy you are willing to believe permeates the world.\n\nThe web is full of writings on this subject, both pro and con the existence of the "code."  Poke around for a couple of hours and you can draw your own conclusion.  In sources are a few places to start.


Another reason not to blindly trust people on the internet... (I can't believe someone said no!)\n\nWhales are mammals, like us... of course they do!\n\nto quote an expert: (call him if you aren't convinced!)\n\nCetaceans are mammals, which means they give birth to live young and nurse them with milk in the early stages of life. It also means that until the moment of birth, the young are connected to the mothers by an umbilical cord inside the womb. The umbilical cord is connected at the navel in all mammals, and when the cord is broken at birth and eventually withers away, a scar remains, called a belly button. Thus whales have belly buttons. \n\nHoward Garrett \nOrca Conservancy \n2403 So.

"Could" is usually used to express ability in the past.\n\nFor example, to make the past of this sentence:\n\n"I can play the piano."\n\nyou say\n\n"I could play the piano when I was younger."\n\nWould is used in two situations: conditional and talking about past situations.\n\nWhen we talk about events that happened in the past, we use would to talk about things that happened in the future of the main event we are talking about.  Here's an example:\n\n"When Bill arrived home, he saw that his wife had already cooked dinner.  He didn't know that she would get mad when she discovered that he ate the dinner she made for the neighbors."\n\nSo the main past event in this story is the time when Bill arrived home and ate the dinner.  The time when his wife got mad happened in the future of that event, so we use the "would" form to talk about it.\n\nAs I said, "would" is also used in unreal conditional sentences:\n"I would do my homework assignment if I had the time."\n"If I had a million dollars I would buy meals for all the homeless people."\n\nI hope this helps!  To see more about the use of "would" in past stories, see "The Grammar Book" by Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman, Chapter 9.


Does anybody know how to throw any of the "junk" pitches?

a real easy way to alter a pitch is to remove some (or most) of your fingers from the ball when you throw it. Your arm speed will make it look like a fastball but because the ball is in your palm (rather than being gripped tightly by your fingers), it will go slowly.

I run a computer services business, I live in the state of missouri, Am I required to charge tax for my servic

Yes, u need to charge sales tax for all services, parts, etc. Hint: You can charge double the tax on parts u have purchased by adding the oriogonal sales tax you paid into the origonal cost of the item and then adding the customer tax on top of it. This will result in a slight overpayment of taxes for each product sold and generate a larger return at the end of the year. Idealy you need to add the customers sales tax to the item before the origonal sales tax was applied. This is called passing the tax along to the customer. Not sure how tax rates run where you are at but for us the purchasig origonal sales tax is less than the sales tax we must charge for items purchased from us by our customers. Yes there are 2 different rates for us is PA. The origonal sales tax we must pay is govered by our state, the customer sales tax is govered by federal tax laws. Don't try to figure it out, like i have been trying, just abide by it or it will drive you nuts! HA\nI work as a book keeper for a computer repair company, and in USA the fed gov wants tax money for everything we do. Below is our companies site. It has nothin to do with tax though. We too charge a flat rate for repairs and figure the taxes into that after the sale. So we do not make the entire said rate but only a portion once we take the taxes out of it. This way it is a solid dollar amount and we can say we charge a flat rate for labor and it looks more attractive to our customers and ALOT easier for them to guestimate in their heads what a repair cost might be.I Hope this helps you out.


A MP3 CD is really just a data CD that has MP3 files on it.  It is just like you could have a CD with Microsoft Word and Excel files on it.  MP3 CDs are not formatted to play in a regular CD player.  That is why many recent CD players say they play discs in MP3 format.

A tachyon (from the Greek ταχύς takhús, meaning "swift") is any hypothetical particle that travels at superluminal velocity. The first theoretical description of tachyons is attributed to German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld; however, the concept has recurred in a variety of other contexts, such as string theory. \n\nIf its energy and momentum are real, its rest mass is imaginary. It is difficult, for instance, to interpret exactly what a complex-valued mass may physically mean. One curious effect is that, unlike ordinary particles, the speed of a tachyon increases as its energy decreases. This is a consequence of special relativity because the tachyon, in theory, has a negative squared mass. \n\nAccording to Einstein, the total energy of a particle contains a contribution from the rest mass (the "rest mass-energy") and a contribution from the body's motion, the kinetic energy. If m denotes the rest mass, then the total energy is given by the relation\n\n    E = \frac{mc^2}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}.\n\nWe take this relation to be valid for either tachyons or regular particles ("tardyons"). For ordinary matter, this equation shows that E increases with increasing velocity, becoming infinite as v approaches c, the speed of light. If m is imaginary, on the other hand, the denominator of the fraction must also be imaginary to keep the energy a real number (since a pure imaginary divided by another pure imaginary is real). The denominator will be imaginary if the quantity inside the square root is negative (recall the problem imaginary numbers were invented to solve), which only happens if v is larger than c. Therefore, just as tardyons are forbidden to break the light-speed barrier, so too are tachyons forbidden from slowing down to below light speed.

how do I deal with all my homework at home????

I've found that the home is probably one of the worst places to do homework. Try staying later at school to study, or go to a library. This will minimize the numerous distractions like television.


the energy that your body needs is released by the process of what???

You are probably referring to metabolism.  Metabolism is a collection of chemical reactions that takes place in the body's cells to convert the fuel in the food we eat into the energy needed to power everything we do, from moving to thinking to growing. Specific proteins in the body control the chemical reactions of metabolism, and each chemical reaction is coordinated with other body functions. In fact, thousands of metabolic reactions happen at the same time - all regulated by the body - to keep our cells healthy and working.

what's the best way to prepare for the GRE general test?

I found all of the GRE prep books to be about the same.  I used Petersons and Arco, and as a librarian I have seen many others that seem about the same. \n\nI would choose one that offers a CD of practice tests, as the test is computer based now.  These computerized tests will give you some familiarity with the format of the real test. \n\nI would also break an old high school or relay college geometry book as there were a lot of questions on it when I took it!  I did get into my first choice grad school though!\n\nThere is a field study going on that will actually pay you to take the test, although you will not get the scores.  You may want to look at that (the first link below). \n\nGet a good nights sleep and don't go hung over - I found that helpful too.   Good luck!


You can surely go to bluenile.com and check out the price of that specific ring if you want to have it made but you may also check into other jewelry stores.  The thing is that there are many variables when buying a diamond and you are talking about 5 diamonds mounted together, therefore you need to consider lots of variation in price and quality.  The best thing is to shop around, know what you can get with the price you want to pay, of course, it will be easier if you know someone in the field!  Hope that you will find what you want!

The Binturong (Arctictis binturong), also known as the Malay Civet Cat, the Asian Bearcat, the Palawan Bearcat, and just simply the Bearcat is neither a bear nor a cat but is a type of civet of the family Viverridae. The Binturong is endangered due to habitat destruction and poaching for their medicinal uses and their fur. Its natural habitat is forest canopy, and it spends most of its time in the trees of southeast Asia, Borneo, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and Palawan Island.


Black bear are best taken (in my humble oppinion) with a .30-06 180 gr. Some good brands of ammo out there include Hornady's 180 gr with super shock Tip and Norma 200 gr oryx bonded for when you need just a bit more bang for your buck.


by listening to a person tell you that it is the nature of people to committ sin does that start you off on ?

I understand what you are asking.  This is why all religions can't be true.  There has to be one religion that is true, and teaches God's will.  Otherwise, your thought experiment becomes true and sin becomes subject to YOUR belief weather its a sin or not.

Just how addictive will this site become?

For me, there have been days when I gave answers 18 hours a day, answering around 80 answers a day before I reached a limit. My score itself says how much time I devoted to get the points, but now they have lost all that importance. The vast variety of knowledge is more addictive to study than the point system itself, when one grows up.


I already replied to the similar question today. I reiterate what I was writing as follows:\n\nYou know, adding so called free or even non-free commercial proxies which pretend to "hide" your ip address could be even more dangerous, because some proxies / hosts potentially collect and effectively track your activities to re-sell it to advertizers or, worse, hackers. Do not be fooled by the fact, that you use them couple months and nothing bad yet happend. It could be just work in progress to find someting more useful among your bytes transmitted via their ip's.\n\nAnother approach is to install virtual machine on your existing hosting operational system, for example, vmware (vmplayer is free, and vmware is not).\nAlso, you can set it READ ONLY mode, therefore, hacker cannot compromise your offline data. YOu can attach USB key, write into it, and immediately disattach it, when it's not needed anymore.\n\nAlso, you can boot your computer from any of LiveCD (many linuxes allow you to do this: knoppix, ubuntu, etc), and beforehand, adjusting your BIOS to stop your hard drives.\n\nMore heavy solution could be to install tor and privoxy into your computer, and then adjust your browser proxy setting accordingly.\nhttp://tor.eff.org/\nhttp://www.privoxy.org/\nIt's more trusted authority, but it can make your traffic really slow. Also, it's not absolutely secure, but is absolutely the best what is available today.\nThe drawback is that using this service very often could be also an indicator of your potentially criminal activity in case such tracking iS LEGALLY authorized by some reason (for exampe, to collect evidences).\n\nPersonally, I prefer LiveCDs or vmWare vmplayer to check my online banking.


When buying golf clubs for the first time, how many clubs should I have and what are necessities?

PartyCrasher:\n\nThese answers are well thought out. But I would recommend a bit different set makeup for you. \n\nIrons: 5-Sand Wedge (56 degree SW).\n\nMake sure to get a cavity backed set, something with offset. If you tell the people at the golf store that you're looking for a forgiving set of irons that's cavity backed and offset, they'll be able to help you. \n\nWoods and hybrids:\n\nGet an 18 degree 5 wood, a 21 degree 7 wood, and two hybrid clubs (these are a cross between a wood and iron) Hybrids: 22 and 25 degree. These are much easier to hit and much more forgiving than long irons. They will make the game easier for you starting out. \n\nGet at least a 13 degree driver, with as big a head as possible, to make it easier to hit. Make sure you get it from a major manufacturer, the off brands may look the same, but their quality control is terrble. \n\nAny 34 or 35 inch putter that looks good to you, one that looks like a Ping Anser is a good choice. Almost all the major manufacturers have a design that copies the original Ping putter. \n\nThis leaves you with thirteen clubs. You can add one more later because the limit is 14, but I would start with this and see how it goes. This set will not be cheap, you will probably spend over 1000.00 easily. \n\nYou might want to see what irons and woods you like at the golf store and then check ebay and see if you can get them used. Just make sure they're not too beat up!! \n\nThe January 2006 issue of Golf Magazine has an article that I referenced for this recommendation, pick it up and use it as a guide to begin your club purchases! \n\nHave fun!!!


What is the best AGP video card available on the market?

The best AGP card would be a Nvidia 6600GT or 6800 video card.  6800 AGP cards are a bit rare but they do exist.  It's probably easier (and probably cheaper) to get a 6600GT, however.  These cards are a good choice because they support the latest graphic doo-hickeys like the latest shader version, DirectX 9, etc.\n\nPlease note that no ATI X-series (X300, X600, X700, X800, X1800) cards are available in AGP form except for one that exists for Apple Macs.  These cards are manufactured months to years in advance and ATI chose not to support AGP in favor of PCI-Express.
