Hi,your name here..... Then she will respond. then spark the conversation.


I would argue that todays HSBC really had little if anything to do with the HSBC from that long ago, so I think you are ok to bank with HSBC.\n\nI would recommend that you don't bank with any commercial bank and instead work with a credit union.  They tend to have better rates, lower fees, and be better members of the community.

i know this guy,i know he likes me even if he doesn`t say anything?

I think this happened to me once lol. Just hang out with him, and act like you like him. For instance, if you're ever sitting beside eachother and you feel "tired" lean over and put your head on his shoulder... Stuff like that will show that you like him back, and I promise he'll be thinking about it... And probably act on it.


A Live! Sound Card is okay.  But even better is the X-Fi Xtreme Music with EAX 5.0.  The X-Fi line of soundcards are the ONLY sound cards on the market that support EAX 5.0.  The X-Fi sound card processor is like having a Pentium 4 chip driving your sound processing.  It is a fully dedicated sound processing device and takes all the strain of processing environmental sounds off the CPU.  That is of course the short version there is a whole technical explanation behind it.\n\nEAX 5.0 supports the following features:\n128 Voices\nEAX Voice\nEAX PurePath\nEnvironment FlexiFX\nEAX MacroFX\nEnvironment Occlusion\n\nI have the Logitech X-530's also but they are plugged into my X-Fi, there is no better combination.


When buying DVD Movies, what is the difference between full frame and wide screen movies?

The difference is due to something called "aspect ratio".  Widescreen movies have a 16:9 aspect ratio, meaning that they are more rectangular than square in the shape of the screen ( the screen is wider than regular, hence the term "widescreen").  \n\nThe difference in the picture is that with widescreen, you see more on the edges of the picture.  For instance, if there were 100 trees in a shot, with full frame you might only see 70 of them because the edges are cut off a bit.  \n\nTo me, this makes a difference in the movie, but not so much that you would have a different understanding of the film.  Moving forward, I would say that you should buy your movies in 16:9 or widescreen format because more and more TV's are now in that format.

Which country produced the computer system Gateway?


How often or how much can I drink Coke without it rotting my teeth?

I think it depends on how you drink it and what you do in between. Using a straw should do less damage. Sipping throughout the day should be the worst as you keep the teeth covered constantly. So to improve your intake without doing too much damage to your teeth (I am not talking about other areas of the body) I would think you should drink more fewer times a day and use a straw. In between chew gum or eat some other stuff that neutralizes the sugar and acid. I would also talk to a dentist first, as she can better judge how vulnerable your teeth are.

How old are you? Do you consider yourself to be old?

35. Yes I consider myself to be old. \n\nOne key way to tell is when you have to go see the doctor more frequently...LOL. But in general I dont feel old. I love going to amusement parks all the time and riding coaster, keep on top of all electronic trends like I use to, still watch cartoons, and still play video games.


What produces the best results when scanning 12x12 scrapbook pages to make a copy?

A high resolution scanner with the lid closed as tightly as possible.  The actual page should be removed from the page protector to eliminate glare.  Be careful of putting metal and other 3-d embellishments on the flatbed as you can scratch the glass.

what does it take to get a certificate to do taxes in arkansas?

There is NO requirement to be registered or certified to do taxes in Arkansas for a fee. However, I would suggest that she take an income tax course. I'm not allowed to post any commercial information, but the largest income tax preparation form (with whom I have NO connection whatsoever) offers an excellent course that I would strongly recommend before venturing into the world of paid income tax preparation.


Windows 2003 server mouse goes jerky whenever hard disk is being accessed?

Hmmm...we run 3 servers on Win2003 (two on a rack with a KVM switch, and one as a standalone) and we haven't had any issues with our mice. I bet it isn't an issue with Win2003...unless of course, your system is too weak to handle the load, in which case the mouse response would be shaky when the machine's crunching away.


How do I buy Super Bowl tickets at face value? (not from ebay, etc)?

The best way is to get them off TicketMaster. If the seats that you want are no longer available via TicketMaster, you are left with no other choice but t find the best deals on ebay or look with secondary marketplace ticket brokers. EG: http://www.preferredticket.com/events/tickets.asp?e=1124

There are a lot of products available, but there weren't when I quit.  So, I used the "cold turkey" method.  The longer you've smoked, the harder that one is, but it can be done.  However, nicotine addiction is the first and most important task to accomplish.  Long-term smokers have a tougher time without help.  Here's some info on kicking the addiction from the American Lung Association.

At what age would you recommend finishing your education?

Formal education: whenever is right for you, as in, what do you want to do next, and where do you see your life going?\n\nWhile learning itself lasts a lifetime, the generic recommendation is to finish formal schooling as soon as you can.\n\nOf course there are legitimate reasons for exceptions: some people time off to work, and then get back to finishing their degree, or two, later.\n\nGive it your best shot - it likely will affect much of your future.


Which of the following is really a fish- The whale, walrus, dolphin or shark?

The first three are mammals. The shark is a fish. To know whether "fishlike" sea denizens are fish or not, the rule is: if the tail is vertical and moves from left to right (like the shark) then it's a fish; if the tail is horizontal and moves up and down to propel the animal, it's a mammal (like the whale).

full text about the latest and easy to learn biological research?

The latest biological research is, unfortunately, not usually easy to learn. I would say the best way to access information that isn't bogged down in jargon is by reading good science writers, either in magazines like Scientific American and The New Scientist, or by picking up books in a bookstore. A good science writer will interpret the meaning of research without requiring the reader to be an expert in the field.\n\nFor the latest research that might not be as easy to read, the publications Science and Nature carry high profile research articles...but they are written for other scientists and not as easy to understand.\n\nYou can find the full text of original research papers by searching the PubMed database at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi. This will bring up summaries of research and links to the original articles. Subscriptions are required for most journals and the way most people access these are through university libraries.\n\nWhen looking at original research articles, it is important to remember that there are many controversies as things are worked out, and reading original research is like listening to a conversation. There are differing opinions, and research is about the process of discovery, so one article does not necessarily have the final word on a subject. Search for review articles for papers that summarize what is going on in a field.


Is it possible for Yahoo! Answers administrators to limit the same question being asked over and over again?

In a relationship, how do you decide when "not that good" becomes "not good enough" and end it?

When it falls below my own standards of what is acceptable and what is not acceptable.  You need to establish the parameters of your standards first, and then make a decision based upon that.  For example, if a lady liked to have some beers and wine on the weekend I would have no problem with that.  If she likes to smoke that funny tobacco every day, I'd be out the door.


Do you think it is possible for a person to fall in love within the first month of dating?

Sure.\n\nSome people gradually fall for someone and some people find themselves falling for someone much quicker.\n\nIt's all in how much time you can spend together and how well things click between the two of you.\n\nBut, I would also say that often times what people label as 'falling in love' is nothing beyond a strong infatuation.\n\n//

how to tell your family that you're gay?

hey there I totally understand where you stand because I was there myself at one point and time. But first you have to evaluate everyone in your family to figure out how much they care for you as their child/sibling. your best shot would be to tell the family member(s) that you are closest to and most comfortable around in order to see how they accept it. you would be better off starting out slowly; however this approach may not exactly work for everyone. so all I can really say is start slowly, telling a few people at a time, and then find an approach that works for you. maybe have a friend (NOT a f*ck-friend) that knows (and is cool with it) present when you disclose. worst comes to worst, have someone else tell them when you are not present. I had a great deal of difficulty coming out to them myself, but all I can really suggest that you find a way that works...for you. I do not know your family, but if they really love you, they will accept you for who you really are.


is it wrong for a woman to leave her husband and to be be another man if she is not happy with her husband ?

It may not be wrong.  It may be socially acceptable.  You are the one who made the marriage vow.  The real question might be why did you go looking for another man before you terminated your relationship with your husband?  You are the one who must live with your choices.

any cure for psorasis out there that anyone knows. please help?

Most of them have given very good answers. The real problem is only one of the treatment may work out for you! Dont worry - I have had 3 friends who had very severe psoriasis. Each one of them had different treatments. Allopathy, Homeopathy & Ayurveda. All of them are cured. Allopathic cure was fast but not permanent - even though there wasnt any real comeback it had certain side effects. I feel that Homeopathy & Ayurvedha are much better without any side-effects. The main problem it is usually not very fast. It can take 6 months to one year for complete cure. You have to be patient & there are strict diet restrictions - like no meat, eggs, milk, alcohol, smoking ... the list is not small! But be sure to see a famous doctor - there are lot of quacks available. I know how you feel - dont worry there is treatment for it - You will be fine - wish you all the best!

how can I transfer money from one country to another?

Depending on the amount, you may be subject to the Bank Secrecy Act of 1971 (1974?).  There are certain dollar amount thresholds that need to be reported to the government.  Contact your current bank here in the States to initiate a wire transfer.  If that bank doesn't exist in Italy any longer, your bank should be able to find whom they merged with.  As for contacting current holders of the account, if you are not on the account, NO information may be given to you as to their whereabouts, amounts in accounts, or really, anything at all.  That is also part of the BSA and it is also the Privacy act.  A good, nationwide bank is (I hate to say this), Bank Of America.  Give them a call, open an account(they only will help customers), and they can help with a wire transfer.  Some Wire transfers fees may apply.


Why (in america) are people called by their ethnic group + "american"?

Because they are really Americans and because this country is very special. \nAmerica makes you American wherever you're from, and at the same time respects your roots at the same time, because everybody is equal here.\n\nRegarding "African Germans" you mentioned, well, for example, some of them are called buren (Afrikanders) etc. in South Africa as far as I heard.


which is likely colder; the night w/out stars or night w/ stars?

A night with stars would generally be colder. On a cloudy night the clouds act as a thermal blanket trapping the heat radiating from the ground between the clouds and the ground. On a clear night with no clouds to trap the heat it is allowed to rise higher into the atmosphere causing a faster temperature drop at ground level. When the sun rises the opposite is true and having clouds will reduce the amount of energy reaching ground level.


how many inches of snow is equal to one inch of rain?

Can Intel MMX upgrade a processor with Pentium 100 installed?

It depends on the motherboard!  You will have to look at motherboard documentation to see if it will support the faster chip.\n\nIf I remember correctly, MMX was first introduced on a P166MMX and went as high as a P233MMX in the same socket configuration.\n\nHowever, bus clocking and voltage requirements for the various chips (i.e. P54, P54C, P55, P55C, etc.) varied, so it is essential to check the motherboard specs to see if proper voltage settings can be selected (usually with mother board jumpers).\n\nOf course, if the older motherboard you refer has the CPU chip hard socketed (not in a ZIF socket) upgrading becomes even more difficult, and probably not worth the tie and effort (except as a learning experience!)


how rss is going to help yahoo answer users?

Depends on where you intend to use it. One interesting scenario is if you have a public Y! 360 profile, you can get your feeds to display there, and that in turn can be displayed to the whole world. So if someone is just interested in your activity here, all they have to do is check on your 360 page.


How many times will you meet a true friend in a lifetime?

If you're lucky, at least once. But the catch-22 is you do not know a true friend until a time of crisis, or a test of friendship/betrayal. Even if you lose  a friend over petty issues, that does not mean the friendship is dead forever.


How do you get rid of spyware, Troyan horses etc.?

You will need a Virus scanner and a Spyware Scanner.\n\nYou already have two of the three spyware scanners I recommend, the other one being the Microsoft Anti-Spyware scanner which uses the GIANT scanner. You can get that at http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/\n\nAs for Virus Scanners, Grisoft's AVG Virus scanner is very good, you can get it at http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/\nAntiViru is another Virus Scanner which I have become to like more than AVG because it is very low on resource usage and doesn't come with all the loaded junk features as some of the other virus scanners. You can get Antivir at http://www.free-av.com/\n\nWhen trying to remove Spyware and Viruses, even trojans. I recommend that you do the scans of each program and removals in Windows Safemode. This will make sure that the spyware and viruses aren't running at the time and aren't interacting with the system. You can get into Windows Safe mode by tapping the F8 key on your keyboard just when you turn on your computer and before the Windows Loading screen comes up on the screen.


In java if i use Class.forName("---path to the Driver---") statement in my coding ,?

Unless you write or use a special or custom class loader class files are loaded from the CLASSPATH.  The can be defined as a environment variable or you can pass it in as a option to the java runtime.  So you don't actually "register" when usuing just the JVM.  If using some Java J2EE applicaitons / servers they will provide a configuration or installation aide that will build the classpath for you.  Without knowing what environment your running on / using I can only point you to the -classpath option at the command line.  \n\nCheers, good luck


Believe it or not, the dropkick remains a legal maneuver in the National Football League today. Although the dropkick has not been successfully converted on an NFL gridiron in decades, mention of it still exists in the NFL's official rule book. Rule 3, Section 8 defines the dropkick as, "a kick by a kicker who drops the ball and kicks it as, or immediately after, it touches the ground."

what does the color bittersweet look like?

Look at this web page for Crayola crayons bittersweet color swatch.\nhttp://www.crayola.com/colorcensus/americas_favorites/display.cfm?color=24\nI remember it as a sort of burnt orange color, but it probably has a little more red in it, looking at the color swatch, [they do say it's in the "orange" family, though, not the "red" family, like scarlet, brick red, and magenta] and since it is named after the berries of a plant called "bittersweet". \nThe Probert Encyclopedia describes the berries as scarlet-red. http://www.probertencyclopaedia.com/B1EB.HTM\nYou can see images of bittersweet berries by searching google images for bittersweet. Most of them look orangish-red to me. \nOverall, I recommend a reddish burnt orange.


The exact speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s\n\nTo be precise, what we usually call the "speed of light" is really the speed of light in a vacuum (the absence of matter). In reality, the speed of light depends on the material that light moves through. Thus, for example, light moves slower in glass than in air, and in both cases the speed is less than in a vacuum. However, the density of matter between the stars is sufficiently low that the actual speed of light through most of interstellar space is essentially the speed it would have through a vacuum, so we don't make much error by ignoring the difference.\n\nTo make it easier for you to convert, here is the speed in alternative units :\n\n(1) 983,571,056.4304461 foot/second\n(2) 11,802,852,677.165352 inch/second\n(3) 1,079,252,848.8 kilometer/hour\n(4) 299,792.458 kilometer/second\n(5) 582,749,918.3585312 knot\n(6) 880,991.0899527 mach\n(7) 670,616,629.3843952 mile/hour (mph)

Who is the only baseball player to be thrown out at every base in one single game?


What happened on Grey's Anatomy this week?

At the end of the episode, Derek told his wife he didn't just have a "fling" with Meredith.  He said that just because he decided to stay with his wife doesn't change the fact that he fell in love with Meredith.  So basically it left you hanging with the fact that Derek still loves Meredith.\n\nAlso Alex told Izzy that he never meant to hurt her... and they pretty much left that subplot hanging.\n\nBurke and Yang disagree on spiritual issues... she doesn't want to celebrate much Christmas stuff because she's nominally Jewish and basically doesn't like to think about the spiritual side of things, while Burke thinks that there is a mind-body connection in medicine.


Group I elements almost always have an oxidation number of +1, so the K (potassium) has a +1.  Unless they're in peroxide compounds, which is not the case here, oxygen usually has an oxidation number of -2.  The hardest one is the Mn.  We know that the whole compound has to have an oxidation number of 0, so let's do some math.  There is one +1, and there are 4 oxygens, each with -2.  \n+1 + ? + 4*(-2)=0\nThe answer is +7.  Therefore, Mn must have an oxidation number of +7. \nK=+1, Mn=+7, O=-2

How can I backup 40GB worth of data in my pc using an external hard drive?

I would highly recommend CasperXP. It's saved me a few times now and makes a complete bootable clone of the disk. The best thing is that it can backup whilst you are still using XP and has smart clone technology so that on subsequent backups it will only backup changed sectors of the hard disk reducing backup time considerably. It will work with external USB hard disks.

What programming skill is required to be a hacker? How can one be a good hacker?

How to become a hacker, from asking that question many months ago when I wanted to find out more than just emailing, chatting and the usual norm (millions of average users do) I quickly improved my web searching skills and found out for myself. Some "hackers" say, "Start with C/C++, Python, Perl, and so on..." each person might have in their own opinion what you should start with.\n\nDefinition of a hacker: Originally, a hacker was a term of respect, used among computer programmers, designers, and engineers. The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs. Unfortunately, the current popular meaning of the term is used to describe those who break into systems, destroy data, steal copyrighted software, and perform other destructive or illegal acts with computers and networks.\n\nStart out by learning networking and programming those are minimal basics, a "hacker" is supposed to know a great deal about computers, how they work, how networks works, ...etc and also know  to code "The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs."\n\nThe best advice I can give you is learn all you can about computers, networks, programming, find information on forums, message boards, and websites.\n\nIf you just read all those "hacking" tutorials (I'm not saying their useless, just something you can try  experiments with on your own) your just going to become a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, script kitty or skiddie) is a derogatory term for inexperienced crackers who use scripts and programs developed by others without knowing what they are or how they work for the purpose of compromising computer accounts and files, and for launching attacks on whole computer systems (see DoS). \nIn general, they do not have the ability to write these kinds of programs on their own. Such programs have included WinNuke applications, Back Orifice, and Sub7.\n\nLearn as much as you can and maybe you will become a hacker.If you need anything email me at searchjunkie@gmail.com, information wise, feel free.\n\n\nSources below are websites for free books, free information on anything, how to become a hacker, programming languages, free software, free alternative OS's, LiveCds, source code search engines and more.


Why do some people hold a negative connotation of the word "sales" in terms of a career?

Every successful business person is a salesperson.  The skills are essential.  But very few colleges and universities have any classes for general sales ability.  I think this probably makes it a "less acceptable" career path in many people's opinions.  \n\nSales is the fundamental currency of business skill.

Correct puctuation marks for dash and hyphen??

I didnt know the answer so I went to the dictonary for the meaning of both...\n\nHere is what I found. \n\nDash: as a noun\nEither of two symbols, an emdash or an endash, used in writing and in printing. \n\nHyphen: as a noun\nA punctuation mark (-) used between the parts of a compound word or name or between the syllables of a word, especially when divided at the end of a line of text.\n\nI think the symbol - is only called a hyphen when used in the above context.\n\nOtherwise it is a dash.... thats what I got from it anyways.

How exactly desktop applications differ from web based applications?

This question depends on how you define "web-based applications".\n\nDesktop Applications can often rely on the internet - be it for updates, authentication, uploading/downloading, etc.  Desktop Applications rely that you have the program installed on your own hard disk.\n\nWeb-based Applications are apps programmed to only be accessed through the internet.  These applications are often based of programming languages which can conveniently output information through your browser window. :O)  Also, web-based applications often can be accessed from any computer with a web browser -- making far more convenient if you move around alot.\n\nThey differ in these ways too, to list a few:\n+ File Size - Desktop Applications are larger, web-based are smaller because of the fact internet data through-put is slower than accessing from your hard drive.\n+ Programming Language - If your using a Desktop Application, it will probably be written in a language such as Java/C/C++, while many web-based applications are based in Perl, PHP, Javascript, and XML.


What can I do to get over my fear of the dark?

Dell.com is a good place to shop for laptops that will give u a bit more piece of mind and there are usually discount numbers available from a simple web search that will bring down the price of a laptop to about $399

Root canal treatment is not painful if it's done under proper anesthetics.  But sometimes, if the tooth has been inflammated for a long time and even the bone around the tooth has started to decay due to the bacteria, the anesthetics might not work properly.  It's because of the acid environment the inflammation causes and the fact, that the solution of anesthetics can't dissolve in an acid environment, therefor can't give the proper level of numbness.  But it's only possible to feel something on the first visit, when they're taking out the nerve.  The following treatments (if further visits are needed) should be pain-free.  Also, there has been some research, that if You are very much afraid of the dentist, Your body produces more of the chemical, which might not let the anesthetics to work, so be as calm as possible and trust Your doctor. :)

I realize that "blue laws" were never written on blue paper, but are so named because of "blue noses"...

Blue Blood to Blue book to Bluenose?  The etymology of the word Bluenose and the phrase Blue Laws seems to have lost.  The only thing known for sure is that the first use of the term Blue Law that can be documented today is in General History of Connecticut by the Reverend Samuel Peters published in 1781.  It is now assumed that Rev. Peters coined the phrase.


When Christianity began as an organized religion, did many Jews convert and join?

Actually, No, the Jews of Jesus's day rejected the message of Christianity, as is evident from the Christian's New Testament itself. Repeatedly in the Christian's New Testament, when the Early Christians would go into the synagogues and preach, or even just explain what they believed, they would get kicked out. \n\nThe reason why this was so, is that the Jews to whom they preached recognized the story of Jesus in the stories of other Hellenist and Mediteranean gods. For example Mithra, who was born of a virgin human by a god for a father, who was born in the Winter, and who died in the Spring, and who came back to life three days later, and whose death and resurrection was proof for those who believed in him that they, too, would not die. Mithra was the patron god of the city of Tarsus, where Paul, called by many the true founder of Christianity, was born and raised. See also Dionysus, Attis, Ra, Adonis, and other gods that pre-date Christianity. Even Hercules had a human mother and Zeus for a father.\n\nWhen Christianity failed to take hold among the Jews, that is when the Early Christians took their faith to the non-Jewish world, and made it more attractive to the non-Jews by removing from it, Biblical requirements of keeping the Biblical laws, especially those of keeping kosher and circumcision.\n\nIn Jesus's day, (as now) the vast majority of those Jews who converted to Christianity were very assimilated, very Hellenized Jews, to whom the story of Jesus would have sounded very familiar.

If the dead sea is all salt, then are these salt edible? Could there be poisonous sediments?

The Dead Sea waters contain salts of magnesium chloride (53%), potassium chloride (37%) and only 8% sodium chloride, which is normal table salt. Magnesium chloride and pottasium chloride give the Dead Sea salt a bitter taste that makes it undesirable to consume, but not poisonous. \n\nHowever, since raw sewage runs into the Dead Sea it probably is unsafe to drink. The salinity may kill most of the bacteria, but there are trace metals that are hazardous that are found in these waste waters. Agricultural chemicals are another problem. \n\nSome Dead Sea salts are mined for 'therapeutic" uses, likely becuase some of the minerals in the salts are thought to be good for the skin. \nhttp://www.nextag.com/bulk-sea-salt/search-html


First of all, I don’t think there is a God or a Devil. But I guess just like some people believe that God made everything he must have made the Devil, or the bad things in life, too. I guess the Devil would be everything bad we do so we could blame someone other than ourselves or, in the religious perspective, God. I really depends what your concept of the Devil and God is to you. It also depends on what religion you practice and believe in too because if your religion descends from Christianity then The Devil is a liar and wants to make you doubt your religion. \n\nThis is what I think. If you have any other questions, if you want to enlighten me, or if you want to just want to say how stupid I am you can email me to \n\ngbrl_question@yahoo.com


Do Spiders drink water or do they just get fluids out of the bugs they eat?

Some spiders do drink water as well as getting the fluids from prey.  Other spiders (like red-backs) don't drink water. If a spider has gone a while (sorry don't know how long) without water, it will approach a drop of water or dew drop and drink from it.

Do you think drums are easier to play than other instruments?

absolutely not! drums are the most complicated instrument there is. I think the problem is people don't realize how deep the concept of drum beats,grooves,and fills are. Most people consider drums "noise" which is NOT true.Drums can be melodic if  you play them certain ways.Drummers are not as recognized as they should be for the talent and determination it takes to play the drums.they are the backbone and metronome of the band.

I'm using Photoshop to resize pics for the web. It says it's 5" high but it's 4" when I measure the screen....

There are two things going on here that you need to understand. First, 72 dpi is a printer resolution, not a screen resolution. Photoshop doesn't resize directly for a particular screen size because the image must be measured in pixels, not dpi to resize for a screen and the size of an image measured in pixels depends on the resolution you have your screen set for 640x480, 600x800, etc. When an image size is measured in pixels, it will be larger on a low resolution screen and smaller on a high resolution screen. It will also be different sizes on different sized monitors. A fifteen inch monitor set to 800x600 will show a picture that is a larger portion of the screen than a 17 inch monitor set to the same resolution\n\nIf you want to resize to pixels in photoshop you can, but you will have to use some trial and error to find out how many pixels it takes to make five inches on your screen. If the picture is later opened on larger or smaller screens or screens with a different resolution it will be a different size. \n\nTo learn to resize to a particular number of pixels open photoshop, click on help and use the search function to search for "Resizing the image during optimization." It's pretty easy to do, but may not produce exactly the results you are hoping for. That's just the way it is with a program that has to work well for lots of different screen sizes set to lots of different resolutions.

if i have Chlamydia does my partner have to have it too?

If you test positive for chlamydia, your infection can be cured with antibiotics. Depending on several factors, your health care professional may prescribe azithromycin, in which case you will take only a single dose, or you may be prescribed doxycycline, which requires one pill twice a day for seven days. This may be followed by a test to see if you are cured, but test of cure is not routine and is usually reserved for pregnant women or individuals with persisting or new symptoms. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin. \n\nIf you are pregnant and infected with chlamydia, you still can be treated without harming the fetus. However, doxycycline is not recommended for pregnant women. The recommended regimen for pregnant women is erythromycin or amoxicillin for seven days, yet azithromycin as a single dose is also a possible option and recent studies and expert opinions suggest it is safe and effective. As with any antibiotic treatment, it is important that you take all your pills, even after symptoms disappear. \n\nBecause treatment with doxycycline or azithromycin is highly effective, women usually do not need retesting for chlamydia after treatment unless their symptoms persist or reinfection is suspected. Too often, women become reinfected because their partner has not been treated as well. Studies have shown that women who are reinfected with chlamydia have a much greater risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Therefore, it is important that you abstain from sexual contact until your partner has been tested and completed treatment, meaning seven days after a single-dose azithromycin regimen or after completion of a seven-day doxycycline regimen. \n\nIn general, treatment is recommended for any partner or partners you had sexual contact with up to 60 days prior to having symptoms or a diagnosis of chlamydia. Some clinics are experimenting with what is called partner-delivered therapy. Patients are given a one-gram dose of azithromycin to give to their partner. There are legal and ethical debates about this approach but in some cases it may be the most effective way to stop the spread of chlamydia, because many infected male partners have no symptoms and are reluctant to seek treatment. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin or doxycycline. \n\nPID treatment begins with an antibiotic regimen that provides broad coverage against several different bacteria. Treatment should begin as soon as a diagnosis is made, because immediate therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of long-term consequences of PID. Studies are under way to determine whether oral therapy is as effective as parenteral (intravenous) therapy. There are several different treatment options recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Regardless of which type of therapy is chosen, hospitalization is no longer recommended, except in certain circumstances including: \n\nsurgery is needed\n\nthe patient is pregnant\n\nan oral outpatient regimen cannot be tolerated\n\na patient does not respond clinically to oral antimicrobial therapy \n\na patient has severe illness, including high fever, nausea and vomiting\n\na patient has tubo-ovarian abscess or a weakened immune system\n\nWhile medication can stop PID, some women may need surgery to remove scar tissue and blockages caused by long-term infection. The most common type of surgery involves laparoscopy.

How long does it take to heal a toe amputation when the patient has very limited blood circulation?

The time it takes to heal any wound depends on several things. Good circulation to the area helps with healing. It brings nutrients and oxygen that are needed to heal. You can't let your blood sugar levels be too high. If someones blood sugar is too high then basically they may never heal the wound. Also make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Protein is what your body uses to repair skin.\nYou may want to consider visiting a wound care clinic. We have one in our area. On certain patients they are able to put them in a bariatric chamber which saturates the body with oxygen to promote healing. Hope this helps!

Should my Fiance and I get pre-marital counseling, even if we don't think we need it?

Definitely!  It sounds like you are so in love that you can't possibly imagine having problems in marriage--just like every couple that's ever married.  It's normal, it's healthy, it's good, and that's why you're getting married.\n\nBut realistically, these "in love" feelings don't last forever, usually not for more than a couple years.  After you're married you're going to have to deal with issues like budgets, grocery shopping, and putting the toilet seat down.  Not very romantic stuff.\n\nA good pre-marital counselor will get the two of you to talk about issues now that you wouldn't even think of until you're much farther down the road.  And it's a lot better to discuss them now, while you still have a lot very positive feelings towards each other.  It's also better to discuss them now, rather than in the heat of the moment when conflict can grow destructive.\n\nSo I definitely encourage you to get pre-marital counseling, and do all the homework the counselor gives you.  The time in the office will be useful, but the time that you spend discussing the questions you receive will be even more profitable.

i need motivation for my final exams.how can i motivate myself?

My motivation was always that once they're done, you are free.  (for the term, at least)  It's a pretty good motivator.\n\nMy strategy was always to organize each course in my head, first.  Takes about 5 minutes.  If you've been given a study guide for the exam, immediately cross off what you are comfortable with.  With what remains, look at the major topics and 2 to 3 subtopics.  Review those.  You'll do fine.  You've lasted through the term, right?  \n\nAnd the most important thing is this: Go in RELAXED.  The moment you walk in the door, you are as ready as you will ever be.  Time's up.  It is what it is.  No point in stressing any further from that moment on.  Tell yourself that as you sit down.  Not only is it the truth, it calms you down.  Honest.\n\nah... one more thing... if you happen across a question that you really just can't seem to articulate an answer for, write a response and address it to the instructor - say that your understanding of this particular subject matter is 'insert something relative yet witty' and include whatever information you can summon up about that questions answer.  (it's worked for me - even though my answer to a particular question may not have been what he was looking for, I still received credit for exerting genuine effort at a response).  You'll do fine.


If I hate going to confession,,,should I still go?Or skip it and receive anyway?

Going to confession is one of the very important duties of the Catholic. It's one of the essential elements so to speak of being a good Catholic. I know it seems awkward and it isn't much fun, but isn't always kind of a release too, to be able to confess all the wrongs you have committed? Best of luck to you.


What do you believe heaven will be like?

Paul said it would be unlawful to describe what he saw and that human words would not do it justice.

Patriot Act \nThe USA Patriot Act was passed by Congress as a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Act allows federal officials greater authority in tracking and intercepting communications, both for purposes of law enforcement and foreign intelligence gathering. It gives the Secretary of the Treasury regulatory powers to combat corruption of US financial institutions for foreign money-laundering purposes; it more actively works to close our borders to foreign terrorists and to detain and remove those within our borders; it establishes new crimes, new penalties and new procedural techniques for use against domestic and international terrorists.\n\nThere has been protest over certain sections of the Patriot Act, even resulting in some civil liberties suits brought by the ACLU and other groups.

what prevents the walls of the digestive tract from being digested?

A couple of things, actually.  Digestion starts from the moment you start to chew up your food as certain enzymes begin to break down the proteins.  The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is protected from them to a large degree by mucus which lines the intestines and stomach.  The mucus also protects the stomach from the acid which is kept in the stomach.  \n\nSo that stuff which drives you nuts when you have a runny nose does really have something useful to do!

Police Officer Detectivelost job, unable to move on. Anyone have any suggestions?

That's a tough thing for anyone to go through and probably more so for a police officer or detective. That is a high stress and emotionally draining job I would think. Does he go out or stay in a lot? If he stays in a lot, try to get him to go out. He needs to do things to build his self confidence again. Going to the gym, join a group that does things he has similiar interests in, take a couse at a local college just for fun ex: writing, art, etc. You didn't say if he could return to that work in another city or not. That might be one option. There are many other jobs he could get with his vast skills and experience and he could take some courses at a college to add to his skills and head his vocation in another direction. He could also volunteer to go to schools and talk to children. I would not push him to get a job until he is feeling better about himself and when that time comes, I would suggest a part-time one. Let him know that he has the power to turn a bad turn of events into a positive and meaningful one. He is fortunate to have such a caring and concerned friend like you. Good Luck with your friend and I hope things get better for him.

How to repair the keyboard of Averatec's laptop by myself?

I had an Averatec 5400 series model computer that I bought from WalMart.  I have had troubles with it adding spaces, freezing up and eventually not booting.  I am not sure why you cannot send it to the producer, but I sent mine in for warranty repair (one year limit.  It probably was about a thousand dollar laptop, you bought it because of the features (large RAM, DVD burner, cool silver color) and now you are having problems with what ended up being second rate parts used for assembly.  How about using a USB keyboard and disabling the other one in the system hardware settings?

Why are we not so worried about blue shifted stars and galaxies?

Blue shifting galaxies are ones that are headed more towards us than away. The spectrum we see from a galaxy is a combination of its more or less random speed relative to us due to interations with other galaxies, and the redshift from the expansion of the universe.\n\nUnless a galaxy is very close, the redshift expansion will dominate so that only redshifts are detected.\n\nThe big exception is the Andromeda galaxy, which is a spiral just like the Milky Way galaxy, and a "mere" 2.9 million light years away and is the closest big galaxy to ours. \n\nIn terms of being worried about it well...Andromeda is heading out way, and well collide with the Milky Way Galaxy in about 4 billion years or so.\n\nThat means is one were to stand on Earth or Mars the sky would be increasingly taken up by the fuzzy blog of Andromeda until suddenly (relativity speaking) the whole things is a huge explosion of stars.\n\nNot a literal explosions. Stars are very far apart from each other relative to their size, and about zero stars will actually collide.


How do you feel regarding the current status of our border policy as it pertains to the U.S./ Mexico border?

The United States is still a great land of opportunity and also one of the few true melting pots in the world where all cultures are welcome and we easily adopt the best features (and often words) of many peoples.  That said, we share lengthy borders with Canada and Mexico and we need to maintain peaceful and orderly borders with our friendly neighbors.  We should never forget that immigrants helped build all that we have today.\n\nHowever if our borders were opened to the entire world, we would be hoplessly flooded with immgrants while draining other countries of valued citizens.  A system must be provided that effectively permits honest individuals to enter our country and perform work that does not steal bread from our current low wage worker's tables.  At the same time, workers should be permitted to temporarily visit to register and work and return back home with their earnings.  By having an organized border system, visiting workers will not have to pay exploiters to be snuck across our border and treated as law breakers when they are caught.  While they are performing useful work, they should receive medical care and education for their children, paid for in part by taxes on their income and property taxes on the buildings they live in.  All peoples of the world should have equal access to our system for permanent residence and ultimately citizenship.\n\nPerhaps one day the entire world will be at peace and economically free such that as many Americans will live abroad as non-Americans choose to live here.  But then the entire world would have to become a melting pot.

Scientists are delaying the start of 2006 by the first "leap second" in seven years, a timing tweak meant to make up for changes in the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe adjustment will be carried out by sticking an extra second into atomic clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight Coordinated Universal Time, the widely adopted international standard, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology said this week.\n\nFor more info, visit:\nhttp://www.theage.com.au/news/world/a-year-late/2005/12/25/1135445473624.html


Did anyone else open a bank account with emigrant.com? What do you think of it?

I have and it is great.  The rate is one of the best ones around and  it doesn't have a minimum.  It's fairly easy to use although getting started usually takes a week or so since they send you something in the mail first to verify you.  But once you get started it's very easy to just transfer some money to and from your checking account.\n\nTwo thumbs up from me.

Any ideas to make my computer faster while playing game as iam having lower graphics card?

Having low video memory puts the strain on the CPU and the computer's main memory.  However, you can try to improve the system resources by doing the following:\n\n1.  If you are offline turn off the anti-virus software.\n2.  Close any unnecessary software such as instant messengers residing in the system tray (usually by right-clicking the icons and selecting close or exit).\n3.  Empty the Recycle Bin\n4.  Defragment the hard drive on a monthly basis.\n5.  Before starting the game, right-click on the desktop and select refresh to refresh the memory.

How much weight did you lose on Atkins or the South Beach Diet?  How long did it take you to lose the weight?

My wife lost almost 100 pounds on Atkins.  The first 3 weeks were tough, but then she had an easier time.  If you go on Atkins, buy the book and follow Dr. Atkins advice to the letter.  It's not a cheap diet.  It's very dangerous if you don't take all the proper vitamins, etc.  She lost 30 to 40 pounds in the first couple of months.  It was amazing.  I feel like the luckiest man in the world - I have a new, more beautiful, happier, healthier wife.


How do you approach your supervisor/manager about job discrimination in a small company?

This would depend upon the supervisor, the type of discrimination and the company.\nIf the supervisor is open and a “people person,” you can approach him or her directly.  If the supervisor is a company stooge, by all means avoid this.\nIf the discrimination is about something very minor, it will probably do no good to complain.  Usually these items get placed under “sour grapes” or “disgruntled employee” and nothing happens except a black mark in your records.  If the item is major, consider carefully all of the consequences before becoming a “whistle blower.”\nUsually you will need the help of a lawyer specializing in labor law.


Im programming in c++, and when i compile an error comes back saying 'linker error: undefined reference to __'

A linker error means that you have the correct header files included (so your #include's are fine), but you're not linking to the correct libraries (usually .lib files).  You need to find the libraries (usually in a lib folder near the include files) and tell the linker to use them.


A black light emits light in the ultraviolet range with a wavelength not visible to the naked eye; thus black light (yes, the lamp filament may also emit a visable glow).\n\nWhen ultraviolet light photons (which have a very short energetic and penetrating wave length - where X-rays are even shorter and more penetrating) strike the surface of certain materials, electrons absorb the photon's energy and are knocked out of their low energy electron shells to higher energy shells.  When the electrons fall back to lower energy states, the absorbed energy is released emitting a characteristic phosphoresence color.  This often can be used to identify certain minerals that exhibit crystaline structure.

Why is marijuana illegal while tobacco continues to kill and get rich?

"Until 1937, consumption and sale of cannabis was legal in most American states. In some areas it could be openly purchased in bulk from grocers or in cigarette form at newsstands, though an increasing number of states had begun to outlaw it. In that year, federal law made possession or transfer of cannabis (without the purchase of a by-then-incriminating tax stamp) illegal throughout the United States. This was contrary to the advice of the American Medical Association at the time. Legal opinions of the time held that the federal government could not outlaw it entirely. The tax was $100 per pound of hemp, even for clothes or rope. The expense, extremely high for that time, was such that people stopped openly buying and making it.\n\nThe decision of the U.S. Congress was based in part on testimony derived from articles in the newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst, who was heavily interested in DuPont Inc. Some analysts theorize DuPont wanted to boost declining post-war textile sales, and wished to eliminate hemp fiber as competition. Many argue that this seems unlikely given DuPont's lack of concern with the legal status of cotton, wool, and linen; although it should be noted that hemp's textile potential had not yet been largely exploited, while textile factories already had made large investments in equipment to handle cotton, wool, and linen. Others argue that Dupont wanted to eliminate cannabis because its high natural cellulose content made it a viable alternative to the company's developing innovation: modern plastic. Still, others could argue that hemp could never truly compete with the high strength and elasticity of synthetics, such as nylon. Furthermore, hemp would have been an easy target due to its intoxicating effect, while no rational justification could have been made for outlawing cotton, wool, or linen."

How do you choose the size of surfboards?

Selecting the size of your surfboard is based on personal preference. Usually the two main determining factors on size selection is speed and manuverability. Length is the general factor in effecting speed, but also the rocker (curvature of the nose), width of the board, curvature of the bottom of the board, and buoyancy (thickness and material of board). General factor in effecting manuverability is tail shape, tail shape, thickness of the rails, and shape of the rails.\nThe type of waves and conditions you ride in should effect the size of the board you choose.\nTrial and error is the only true way to find the right type of board. If you can paddle the board you should be able to ride it.

Since the Earth is round, what about the people that lives in the south pole why dont they walk upside down?

Up and down are defined by where you feel gravity pulling. Usually all you see will be pulled into the same direction as yourself, so everything will appear right side up.\n\nHowever, unless you live on the north pole, your "up" won't be identical to "north". The angle by which your "up" direction is different from north is called latitude. My guess is that you live at roughly 45° latitude, that half sideways. Still feels like upright, doesn't it?

What causes the Condorcet voting paradox?

It relates to humans not being rational - one of the axioms of rationality is that preference is transitive - that is, if I like A better than B, and B better than C, then I must like A better than C.\n\nUnfortunately, in studies, humans often create circular rankings like the one you describe when asked to make each judgment independently - particularly when they don't think about any given judgement in depth.\n\nMore information should be available by researching "decision making" and "reasoning", depending on the timescale of the judgments - decision making pertains to snap decisions, whereas reasoning tends to involve choices with multiple seconds or minutes of thought.


why GSM has different uplink and downlink frequency, and uplink is less than downlink!!?

Becuase your mobile provider has to pay for a freqency range to use and generally mobile phones are used to recieve more than send. Also if you compare the size of the transmitter/arial and battery in your mobile to a base station transmitter you will see there are also physical reasons why you can't transmit faster.\nFor more details you should look into exactly what system your mobile uses GSM is a very wide-ranging term. You should look up technologies such as code division multiple access and the general packet radio service as well as comparing 2,2.5 and 3g technologies.

What are the applications og G.I.S in the field of management of utility lines?

GIS is an amazing tool for almost anything.  In my opinion you could use GIS for your application of utility lines by determining population, useage of the utility in an area, the economy of the area, and other factors that are important to your field.  GIS then can map these data sets and help you determine where they are needed, where you can cut back and what changes can be made to make better use of utilities.

I feel he is by far the worst president in the history of our country. He demonstrates absolutely no understanding of statesmanship, competence, and the ability to govern by compromise. \n  Our government has three branches of government. It is obvious that disagreements on policy and its execution will occur. Bush is blind to anything that differs with his own policy and pushes forward an agenda that ignores all suggestion of other views.\n  His entire presidency is a failed attempt at prosecuting a war which has cost the lives of 2000+ Americans and over 30,000 Iraqis in the name of \nDemocracy. That price is not worth the cost in lives and money. That war has been singularly the most flawed effort in our history.\n  His economic policies are based on cruelty and fantasy. The rich Americans are profitting from every single proposal, while the poor are suffering. \n  His reaction to  Katrina demonstrates that we are unready for an attack on our country by terrorists even after the September 11 attack which should have woke us up. His appointment of cronies to sensitive offices that require \ncompetence demonstrate his own lack of perception of excellence. \n   To answer those who say he is maligned, send your children to fight the war in Iraq and if they come back in  a body bag see if you say the same thing!!!!! Bush and his friends have not sent one of their own.\n   Finally, anyone with his resume would have been turned down for both the job of Texas governor and President of the United States if his last name weren't Bush. If his name were Smith he would have been laughed off the American  political stage and sent back to drink his way to oblivion.


How valid is the Bible, considering it was written thousands of years ago?

Not only was it written thousands of years ago and changed many times, the first writings of the gospel were put down many years after Christ's death...which explains why they don't agree. More importantly, the religion of Christianity was created by Paul, who never met Jesus. He created it out of the popular practice of the time: sacrifice. Jesus is seen as the ultimate sacrifice offered to God, which frees everyone from sin. Basically a BIG version of sacrificing a goat to god for a good harvest. Jesus had nothing to do with the creating of the religion. As always, it's just a bunch of guys trying to get people to do what they want. Religion is simply the mystical version of politics.


I love Christmas. I love the idea of passing on the celebrating of the birth of Christ to the children. I hate the commercialization and the "Keeping up with the Jones'" aspect of it, that's so prevalent nowadays. I remember a day when parents didn't have to over-extend their credit and take out a second mortgage on their house to buy presents for the children.\n\nI wish there was a way to celebrate His birth closer to the "real" date that it "actually" took place. I guess it would be difficult to celebrate the birth of Christ before Easter when we commemorate His death on the cross.

By far, the best graphics tutorial site (it's basicaly an aggregator of all tutorial sites) is http://www.good-tutorials.com/ - I've learned TONS of techniques that classes and books will never teach you. If you're looking for basic usage how-to's (how to resize, make a new image, save etc.) then the HP course above is probably fine. If you want to actually use the software to make art, you want to learn the tricks and techniques in the tutorial sites. Good luck!


Well, that depends upon which browser you are using.  The two most popular are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, so I will give explanations for how to clear past search information in both.\n\nIn Internet Explorer, you must click on the "Tools" option at the top of the browser (between "Favorites" and "Help").  A menu will appear.  Click on the "Content" tab at the top of this menu.  In this tab, you will see, under the Personal Information section, a button that says "AutoComplete".  Click on it and uncheck the "Forms" box.  If you want to get rid of AutoComplete for web addresses and user name and password forms, uncheck those too.  You may also want to clear saved data.  You can do that on that menu as well.\n\nFor Firefox, click the Tools option as above (except this time it is between "Bookmarks" and "Help" instead of "Favorites" and "Help").  Go to "Options".

How can I best help someone who is bi-polar?

Understand it as well as possible and then be supportive of treatments. This FAQ's might help you.\n\n1. What is bipolar disorder? \n\nBipolar disorder is a common, recurrent, severe psychiatric illness that affects an individual's mood, behavior and ability to think clearly. It occurs in 1% to 2% of the population in the United States. A variant, called bipolar II disorder, is probably even more common and occurs in up to 3% of the general population in this country. \n\n2. What are the differences between bipolar I and bipolar II disorders? \n\nBipolar I disorder is characterized by episodes of mania that alternate with periods of depression or periods in which individuals have simultaneously occurring manic and depressive symptoms called mixed states. In contrast, bipolar II disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and milder symptoms of mania, called hypomania. Hypomanic episodes typically do not impair an individual's ability to function to the extent that full-blown manic episodes do additionally; hypomanic episodes are not complicated by psychotic symptoms. \n\n3. What is rapid cycling? \n\nThe term rapid cycling was originally coined by David Dunner, M.D., and Ron Fieve, M.D., in the 1970s when they identified a group of individuals who did not respond well to lithium. These patients typically had four or more episodes of mania or depression in the 12-month interval prior to lithium treatment. This definition has been adopted formally by DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed.) and specifically means the occurrence of four or more mood episodes within the preceding year. In severe cases, rapid cycling can occur even within a one-day period. \n\n4. At what age does bipolar disorder appear? \n\nBipolar disorder most commonly presents in the late teens and early 20s. Unfortunately, for most individuals, lifelong treatment may be required to prevent recurrent manic and depressive episodes. Equally unfortunate is evidence that the illness often goes undiagnosed and untreated for many years; the longer the illness progresses without treatment, the greater the impairment in an individual's psychological, educational and vocational development. Additionally, untreated bipolar disorder carries a high risk of suicide. \n\n5. Is bipolar disorder genetic? \n\nBipolar disorder, among all psychiatric illnesses, may have the greatest genetic contribution. For instance, if an individual has a parent with bipolar disorder, the chance that the individual's child will have bipolar disorder is about nine-fold greater than in the general population, with the risk rising from about 1% to about 10%. The inheritability of this illness is estimated to be anywhere from 50% to 80%. On the other hand, if a person with bipolar disorder is thinking about having children, there are still good odds that the child will not have bipolar illness. So the genetic determinants of the illness are complicated. \n\n6. How is bipolar disorder treated? \n\nThe cornerstone of treatment is medications that treat acute manic, depressive or mixed episodes, and which, in the long run, attempt to prevent the recurrence of these episodes. Such medications include lithium, divalproex (Depakote) and, more recently, some of the atypical antipsychotics as well as antidepressants. \n\nPsychotherapy plays an important role in improving the course and outcome of this illness in people. In particular, those with bipolar disorder often have strained relationships with loved ones because of their experiences during manic or depressive episodes; psychotherapy can help repair these torn relationships. In addition, psychotherapy can educate people about the signs and symptoms of their illness, how to pay attention to warning signs and how to nip emerging episodes in the bud. Psychotherapy can also help individuals cope with the stress that can sometimes precipitate manic or depressive episodes. \n\n7. What med

was there a windows virus/trojan horse in 1999 that could take over your computer in your absence?

I found this on CERT; it's possible that the Melissa virus could have made it look like you did something but it was actually the virus.\n\n\nCERT® Advisory CA-1999-04 Melissa Macro Virus\nOriginal issue date: March 27, 1999\nLast revised: March 31, 1999\n\nA complete revision history is at the end of this file. \n\nSystems Affected\nMachines with Microsoft Word 97 or Word 2000 \nAny mail handling system could experience performance problems or a denial of service as a result of the propagation of this macro virus. \nOverview\nAt approximately 2:00 PM GMT-5 on Friday March 26 1999 we began receiving reports of a Microsoft Word 97 and Word 2000 macro virus which is propagating via email attachments. The number and variety of reports we have received indicate that this is a widespread attack affecting a variety of sites. \n\nOur analysis of this macro virus indicates that human action (in the form of a user opening an infected Word document) is required for this virus to propagate. It is possible that under some mailer configurations, a user might automatically open an infected document received in the form of an email attachment. This macro virus is not known to exploit any new vulnerabilities. While the primary transport mechanism of this virus is via email, any way of transferring files can also propagate the virus. \n\n. . .\n\nUpon execution, the virus first lowers the macro security settings to permit all macros to run when documents are opened in the future. Therefore, the user will not be notified when the virus is executed in the future.

Some people says that Usama and Saddam are CIA agents.. Is this true???????

Although I am 99.999% sure that they are not currently CIA agents, it would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that they had been on the payroll at one time.  But then, what is wrong with that.  Times change, enemies become allies, allies become enemies.  Russia was an ally during WWII, but then our mortal enemy right after.  I believe that during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan that Usama was heavily funded by us because he helped fight a greater enemy.  It isn't that we agreed with his policies then, it is just that he was a lesser threat than Russia was.  Same kind of situation with Iraq and Iran.  A the time, Saddam was the lesser threat than was Iran.  Remember, enemy of my enemy can sometimes be my temporary freind.
