what is the exact meaning of the japanese word "kanban"?

Kanban  is a concept related to Just In Time (JIT) production, but these two concepts are not the same thing. (The Japanese word "kanban" is a common everyday term meaning "sign" or "card" and utterly lacks the specialized meaning which this loanword has acquired in English.) According to Taiichi Ohno, the man credited with developing JIT, kanban is the means by which JIT is managed.\n\nKanban is a signaling system. As its name suggests, Kanban uses cards to signal the need for an item. Other devices such as plastic markers (Kanban squares) or balls (often golf balls) can also be used to trigger the movement, production, or supply of a unit in a factory.\n\nFor example, in the production of a widget, the operator has two shelves, one on either side of the workplace. The raw materials arrive on one shelf and the finished article on the other. These shelves act as kanbans.The outgoing kanban signals the customer's need so that when it is empty, the operator must produce one more widget.\n\nThe Kanban is sized so that it can only hold however many the customer needs (usually one). When the operator begins work, he takes the raw material from the incoming kanban, thus signalling to the supplier that he needs more.\n\nKanban is in a way a reactive system and very little is planned ahead. This can work to its disadvantage in case of environment with high volatility like quickly changing products, changing customer demands, extensive and frequent changes in product design.

Why did Bush get so much involved in Iraq??

I think that Iraq was on Mr. Bush's mind the day he took office.  On day one he put a target on Saddam's head and was ready to use any excuse to finish his daddy's job.\n\nHis father, however, knew the consequeces of a march on Bahgdad.  That is why we stopped short of Saddam in 91, we had a clean victory and Sr. quit while he was ahead.\n\nJr., however, wanted blood.  He was convinced that Saddam would one day become the next great tyrant.  Like Johnson in 64, Bush was ready to pounce at the first sign of any agression.  The perfect reason to declare open-ended war fell into his lap on an early september monday morning.\n\nIt has been reported that just hours after the planes hit Bush was heard asking his advisors if Iraq was involved.  He was asking very leading questions of his advisors, including donald rumsfeld, who both wanted to pin 9/11 on Saddam before the towers even hit the ground.\n\nBut some would say they were smart, they went for the easy win first.  They needed to prove to the public that America could lead a successful nation-building war.  Of course I wouldn't call Afghanistan rebuilt when 95% of their economy is from the sale of opiates (I am against prohibition, but Bush isn't).  Even today, after the supposed elections and overthrow of the taliban, the only way an afghan woman can make any kind of living is to work in the opium fields.\n\nWe all saw the buildup for war.  He and his messengers (condie, rumsfeld, right wing puppet congressmen) had us all believing that we were about to be nuked.  The sad thing is that the public at large bought right into it.  I must say he even got me wondering just what Mr. Saddam had up his sleeve.  I suppose that's why I was rather exited to watch the war on tv, I just wanted to see what this guy had.  I watched the sabre rattling in the weeks leading up to 'shock and awe'.  It was entertaining to watch these two morons square off.  I thought Saddam would have had more of a back bone though.  I expected to see a tienemen square scecne in Bahgdad, but right away I could tell once we entered the capitol that something was wrong.\n\nIf Bush had been right, I have no doubt that Saddam would have used those weapons on American soldiers.  But they never existed.  Just like the second attack at the gulf of Tonkin.  It never happened.  LBJ however did not lie himself, rather his advisors lied to him.  True, Johnson was willing and ready to pounce should a tit-for-tat oppertunity present itself.  He believed the second attack on a stranded US cruiser was just such an oppertunity.  His advisors knew of his willingness to decalre war and fed him intel that would lead him in that direction.  LBJ wanted to look strong on defence and strong against communism going into a tough 1964 election.  He knew that he would be judged to the standard of 'what would JFK have done?' in the public eye.  Once he had blindly acceped the attack as truth and declared war, it wasn't long before the conflict spiraled out of his control.  "For all I know, they're shooting at whales" Johnson said the next year about the war that was now out of his control.\n\nThe rhetoric leading upto Iraq was different.  The intel was 'misread' by everyone in the aministration, so either everyone is lieing or everyone is that dumb.  I think they were seeing what they wanted to see.  As soon as any intel came accross that would give a glimmer of hope to uniting the country behind a war surfaced, they took it as fact because they wanted to.  It suited their political end.\n\nI believe that this intel was also pressured out of the cia and nsa from the white house.  Bush pushed so hard for 'actionable intel' that people eventually told him what he wanted to hear.  This still continues as they try to quell the uprising.  The president is so desperate for information on both insurgents and al-queida (sp?) that he is willing to turn his back on the rest of


In the early 20the century, Great Britain was considered a super powere in the world, what happen to them now?

Great Britain was powerful because of their navy. It enforced British imperialism throughout the world, and hence made Britain a superpower. Also, Britian had advanced textiles and technologies. Their air forces and military were very powerful, despite their population's size and geographical limits.\n\nGreat Britain lost almost all its colonies (and a hell of a lot of men) in and in the aftermath of WWII, and WWII also led to the military buildup of the United States Armed Forces, which meant the US Navy was now more powerful, thanks to American industry. Russia, too, recovered from its war slump and (using Lend-Lease weapons and vehicles) built a massive military and economy that allowed it to rival the US.\n\nPlus, nuclear weapons. We and the USSR had them, Britain didn't (not for a while) and that made us superpowers and them our allies. You will find military power often defines "superpower". That and economic power. The UK lacks the geographical resources and population to have a robust economy, and it is not a center of great technological achievement, like Japan. It's military is potent but kept small by a comparatively low budget due to limited resources and the population.


Where can I get a home equity loan given I don't have a job right now?

I believe you can just apply for a loan and go "stated income"  Some loan programs actually do not even require stated income verification.  Of course as a result you will probably pay a few more points on the loan.  If you are in california I can probably give you more information, in other states,  you will need to look in your areas for the programs available there.

What is the difference between "nation", "nationality", and "tribe"?

A tribe is collection of people, usually having a common locality and culture (including language).  One possible definition of a neighborhood is very similar.  All tribes are neighborhoods, but not all neighborhoods are tribes.\n\nNeighborhoods and tribes can be collected into Ethnic Groups.  Ethnic groups usually share the same traditions, culture and language.  They do not have to be in the same nation (an example would be the Kurds).\n\nUnlike the social groupings above, a Nation is a collection of people with a common government.  They do not have to be the politically (Democrats and Republicans, plus others).  They do not need to share the same religion, traditions, culture or language.  Nations are often multicultural.\nNationality refers to the status of belonging to a nation or autonomous entity.

Why TV doesn´t say there wasn´t mass destruction weapons in Iraq?

Because David Kay and the CIA's Iraq Survey group, appointed by President Bush to investigate WMDs in Iraq, concluded that at the time of the US Led invasion in March, 2003,  Saddam Hussein did not possess chemical weapons stockpiles, having destroyed them in 1991.  \n\nIn the Key Findings section of this report, the following paragraph can be found:  \n\n"While a small number of old, abandoned chemical munitions have been discovered, ISG judges that Iraq unilaterally destroyed its undeclared chemical weapons stockpile in 1991. There are no credible indications that Baghdad resumed production of chemical munitions thereafter, a policy ISG attributes to Baghdad’s desire to see sanctions lifted, or rendered ineffectual, or its fear of force against it should WMD be discovered."\n\nThis document can be found on the CIA's web site.

i am 36 $ my optometrist said that my vision has improved, but at about 40 it might need bifocals any insights

regular eye exams every 2 years are a good idea for many reasons, especially to detect glaucoma (easily treated with eye drops) and to detect changes in your vision. If you do end up at 40 with less than perfect vision, then bifocals are a great idea and only take a week or 2 to get used to. Without corrected lenses you will not be able to pass eye exam to get your driver's lisence and you will be impaired at reading and while driving. Also, I recommend getting a separate pair of glasses with just the reading portion of your prescription to use while using your computer. That way you don't have to tilt your head for hours. I also recommend getting a pair of sunglasses made to your distance prescription to keep in your vehicle. Bifocals at 40 are a good thing because they stop your vision from further deterioration.

What exactly is Moment of Inertia of a body?

Simply put it is rotational inertia.\n\nAn example might help. Inertia causes moving things to stay in motion and stopped things to oppose motion. Now if you  have seen figure skating you might have noticed that the skater revolves slowly when her hands are outstretched but she starts to revolve very fast when she compacts her body by bringing her hand together.\n\nWell, on her outstretched hands moment of Inertia is more and therefore she is revolving slower but when she brings them together the moment of inertia is reduced. You can try it yourself on a revolving chair - if you don't know how to skate.\n\nIt is directly proportional to mass and distance from axis of rotation. Different objects will have different moment of Inertia based on shape and axis of rotation.\n\nThis might help http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/mi.html


how come i can't save money since i'm a new home owner?

Define your net worth before you define what you want.  Certain things are needed (rent; food; gas; insurance (auto/home/healthcare).  Any financial affidavit will help you to define your expenses and you will MOST certainly be able to decide what to cut out of your budget.  Keep in mind when filling it out that your monthly expenses should be multiplied by 12 and THEN devided by 52.  What you spend a week will shock you!  Once you've figured that out - link up your checking account to ING Direct to start saving - even if it's only 25/pay period (have it direct deposited) current interest rate is 3.75% (can't beat it!)

Socialism is an ideology with the core belief that society should exist in which popular collectives control the means of power, and therefore the means of production.\n\nNational Socialism refers to the 'beleifs' of the nazi party.

Love at first sight is really infatuation.  Its like being in love with love.  It feels great and is a real feeling, but it comes from your preconceived notions and hopes about romance.\n\nReal love comes from being cherished and respected after getting to know someone well and being known by them.  This includes knowing the bad stuff.  Its simply impossible at first sight, but infatuation can grow into true love.

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, far too little information exists to answer the question adequately.  Your friend should have received a bond report that stipulated the conditions of his bond.  It may have designated that arrest would result in forfeiture of the bond.  If you consult the bond report he received, or if you contact the court where the bond was issued (in whichever city, county, or state it was, which you did not specify), then the court will be able to tell you the conditions of the bond.

Is it possible to get a house with bad credit?

If you have paid every bill on time for a year, and you have not had a bankruptcy in the past 7 years, then your credit report will show that.  If you have 2 years of paying EVERY bill on time, then you should be in good shape to get a loan.\n\nOf course, your credit score will rise the longer the time period of timely payments.  Don't miss a SINGLE ONE, though, for the next twelve months, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at the loan possibilities.

In my opinion, and experience, the best small business to launch is an online business. Create websites about topics of internest to you, then put on PPC ads from servers like Yahoo Publishers Network or Adsense. You will be paid for each click, when visitors come to the site, see ads of interest to them, and click the ads. The best things about this business is the initial investment is very low. You have no inventory to stock,no orders to fill, no customers to contend with, no shoplifting, no breakage, no back breaking boxes to lift, no employees to hire, no rush hour traffic, and no credit card fraud. You are looking at monthly hosting fees of $20 or less, you design in, so there is no design fee. We are making over $4000 a month just in the PPC revenue, plus we sell ads to other business directly. We work from home, set our own hours, and just wait each month for the check from Adsense or YPN to arrive. It doesn't get any easier, or any more flexible.

what is the best indoor cycling trainer?

I went through this exercise last winter, and actually decided to go with Kreitler Dyno-Lyte rollers. The reason is that rollers require you to learn balance. Having better balance makes you a more fluid cyclist, a better bike handler, and you'll be able to ride a line as straight as anyone. Plus, it's not nearly as boring as being tethered by your back wheel!\n\nMy general feeling is that I felt like a trainer would make me lazier overall, even if I were gaining strength.\n\nThe only downside for me is that rollers will wear out your back tire by the end of winter.  Hardly an issue though, because the road would do the same.


Do illiterate people get the full effect of alphabet soup?

Ok I so don't understand what you are asking. Can you "spell" it out for me??


This is actually very easy to answer, based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise, many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous, making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect, making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken, it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However, whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken, that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?\n\n\nTo Dr. Bob (below), what determines how an egg is labled: The organism that layed it, or the organism that's inside it?

James's answer about the amounts you would need to inhale/absorb are correct, but I would disagree with his "rare" statement.  A lot of depleted Uranium is used by the military in armour piercing rounds as it is about 10 to 100 times denser than lead.\n\nUnfortunately its use is hazardous and exposes the operators and the target to highly absorbable vapourised and finely powdered depleted Uranium.  This has been linked with Gulf war syndrome in our troops from both Gulf wars where a lot of armour piercing  ammuntion was fired.  The effects on the target are unknown, and we should be watching for signs of radiation sickness in the Iraqi population and rise in birth defects etc as this toxic material builds up in the population.

Start back up and you should be in business.


Snow is made of small crystals of ice that have a different refractive index due to the air between them. When light passes across an interface between\ntwo media with different refractive indices, some of it reflect off the interface, and some is transmitted at an angle.  Every transit causes a\nscattering of the light, so that eventually light falling the sample is returned in every direction. When all the light is reflected naturally it will be white. \nIce on the other hand lets the light through making it colorless - it is a single crystal!

How do vultures know when something is going to die?

Vultures possess not only very good vision, but also an extremely keen sense of smelling. They use both to spot or sense carrion from miles away. Also, vultures usually keep track of other nearby flying members of their kin, and look for signs that someone else has spotted something. Thus, their combined sense can cover a very broad area and increase the chances of finding a good meal.

what is the best disk to save pictures on. Cd+rw or DVD+RW?

It really depends on how many pictures you are saving to the disc. Also it depends on if you are going to want to add pictures top the disc after. Check and see how much room your pictures are going to take up and if you have around 700mb or less of pictures then you should choose a CD, but if you have more than this you will either have to save them to m,ultiple CD's, or save them on a DVD. One question I have, why do you want to save them to a RW (re-writable) disc? If this is because you are planning on adding more pictures to it in the future, and if this is the case then you have to be careful when doing so as there is always the chance that you could either erase the disc and lose everything saved on it, or over-write the current contents of the disc, aghain losing everything on it. If it were my pictures then I personally would choose to save them on a standard CD-R (or DVD-R) as there is no way that they can be erased from this.

who is the best american president so far?

Hard times can make a great President.  Lincoln is considered great because of what he accomplished in a very bad time.  He freed the slaves and brought the country back together.\n\nPolitics can color judgement on this too.  FDR is considered great by Democrats.  He certainly changed the way our nation operates.  And I would concede that he was a great wartime President.\n\nBut, being a conservative, I'm going to have to say that Reagan was the best.  He changed the world by bankrupting European communism.  He had some success in deregulating our country, and his economic policies never get enough credit for pulling our country out of the stagflation trap of the late 70's.


I had sex for the first time and it hurt like hell.  Will it be like that everytime?

No it will not. Whomever you have as a partner for your first encounters should be made aware that it takes a while for the female to be ready for regular intercourse. Until then they need to take things easy and slowly, be more about caring for your woman than theirself! \n\nThe most important key is communication. Let your partner know what is comfortable and what is not comfortable. Encourage him to take his time.\n\nYou can see a much greater explantion of this here:\nhttp://www.teenwire.com/ask/1999/as-19991001p022.php?print=yes

UFO means "Unidentified Flying Object", right?\n\nBut Area 51 is on the ground.  If the objects were at Area 51, they would not be flying.  So they would not be flying objects.  Therefore, it would be a misnomer to call them Unidentified FLYING Objects.  So, in reality, the possibility of UFOs at Area 51 does not exist.\n\nDespite the fact there are no UFOs there, there is a web page at the Wikipedia documenting what is known about Area 51.  Also, it recounts a lot of fiction about the US government site - as well as some interesting trivia.\n\nI have included the link, so that you don't go away completely empty-handed.

can you tell me which days next week i should buy and sell Google stock in order to make the most money?

there's no specific time to sell a stock, always look at its technical and fundamental details before making a decision. Google properly prompted you to sell it recently due to its pull back. Its nice to keep it now, as it was a pull back where it found support on its prior high. We will see how it goes the next few days before making a decision to sell. If it breaks its support on its prior high on above average volume, it will definately be a sell.


How come Fee's Middle School has UNIFORMS!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE TELL ME!?

school systems think it's a good idea beacause they think it's a new idea and that's good enough for them... wrong! i first heard about these uniforms by reading old 1930's news reels, of course it was a little difficult to understand because the narration was in german. -george carlin\n\nschool uniforms make kids uncomfortable and that makes for a bad learning environment and high tension among the students

how do u tell a girl that u like her when u know u do but u cant get it in to words?

From my personal experience, Tell the girl straight out what you feel for her and see her reaction. It can go 2 ways, you catch her of gard and she just blow it off. Or she'll be surprised and responde to u. Either way you win. If she isn't interested you'll know for sure. If she is interested well, need i say more. \n\nDon't let an opportunity like this go by. I did and it hurts me every time i see this girl with her boyfriend. I always think to myself. Damn that could have bein me. Don't make the same mistakes i did.\n\nRemember it won't kill u to put yourself on the line for this girl. The worst thing that could happen is that she will say no. And from now on learn to accept the word no. Because life has many no's before you start getting yes from people. \n\nTrust me.


when you buy a gift card for someone is there a tax fee included?

That would depend on the terms of the gift card, but in my experience, they charge you no tax when you purchase the gift card, but do charge tax for the itmes bought with it. So, for example, say sales tax where you are is 8%, you get a $20 gift card, you pay $20 for it, and the person who gets it can only spend $18.51, because the tax takes up the rest.


What is a workable solution to the Middle East crisis?

Most people seem to have agreed that the only solution to the Middle East Crisis is a two-state solution wherein both Israel and Palistine would exist as seperate autonomous countries.  Although this is not an ideal outcome for a number of reasons, an agreed upon border between Israel and Palistine would make it easier for Israel to prevent Palistinian suicide-bombers from entering Israel while a soverign Palistine would protect the Palistinians from Israli army and missile attacks.  The primary problem with this solution is the lack of any Palistinian government with both the will and ability to negotiate for such a solution.  Most of the Palistinian actors who offically acknowledge the right of Israel to exist lack credibility among Palistinians while those who have such credibility refuse to negotiate in a meaninful way with Israel.  Israel as well has refused to negotiate with these parties correctly identifying them as terrorist organizations that have conducted attacks against Israeli civilians.

The "elasticity of money" is a term from economics that was developed by James Tobin and William Baumol in the 1950s.  It was the first attempt to formalize the analysis of the effect of the money supply on the economy and spawned an entire field of economic theory called monetary theory.  People had begun to realize that the Great Depression was caused in part by what we now refer to as "tight monetary policy" by the federal reserve.  The basic idea was, if it is expensive to hold cash (i.e., if short-term interest rates are high, for example), then people will hold less cash.  Less cash, less spending.  Less spending, slower economy.\n\nTechnically, what we think of as the "money supply" (ie the total amount of cash and cash equivalents held by people and businesses) is really the intersection of the money supply curve and the money demand curve, just like everything else in economics.  \n\nTobin and Baumol developed a mathematical model to describe the demand for money.  Back in the 1950s, when savings accounts paid interest, checking accounts didnt pay interest, and you had to go to the bank to take money out or move it from savings to checking, they reasoned that people's desire to hold cash (i.e. the "demand" for money) would be based on (1) the amount of money you plan to spend (the more you spend, the more cash you carry, all else being equal); (2) short term interest rates (if short term interest rates are high, you'll tend to leave more money in the bank and carry less cash, all else being equal); and (3) what Tobin quaintly called "shoe leather costs" -- the pain in the neck factor of going to the bank to withdraw cash.\n\nIn other words, if interest rates are close to zero, then there's no real incentive to leave money in a savings account; everyone will just put it in a checking account (considered a "cash equivalent") or carry cash.  If interest rates are high, people have an incentive to leave money in their savings account.  But then they have to go to the bank whenever they want to spend it, which is a pain in the neck.  Their conclusion was that people will optimize the amount of money they carry (or leave in their checking account) based on a rational balancing of the interest they'd earn vs. the amount they want to spend and how money times they want to go to the bank each month.  \n\nThe "elasticity of the demand for money" (or just the elasticity of money) is Tobin and Baumol's measurement of how much each of these factors affects the overall demand for money.  For example, \n- if interest rates double, then the demand for money will be half of what it otherwise would be.  Higher interest rates = lower demand.  The "elasticity of money with respect to interest rates" = the change in money supply caused by a change in interest rates.\n- if people spend more, then the demand for money will be higher.  The elasticity of money with respect to GDP (total spending in the economy) = the change in the money supply caused by a change in GDP.\n- if the costs of going to the bank decrease, then people will carry less money and the demand for money will be lower.  The elasticity of money with respect to "shoe leather costs" = the change in the money supply caused by a change in the cost of "going to the bank".  Note that it might seem strange to think of the "cost" of going to the bank, but realize that since their original article was written, the "cost of going to the bank" has decreased radically.  Credit cards, debit cards, interest-bearing checking accounts, online banking & ATM machines have made it virtually "free" to go to the bank -- nowadays, most people have their money in interest bearing checking accounts all the time, and can transfer money between savings, checking and cash with very little effort, and dont even use cash to pay for most purchases.

What would be the Biological Basis of Consciousness in our world today?

Humans are conscious whereas animals don't seem to be as conscious.  That is because (I believe) Genesis is true when it says that God created man in his own image. People are different than animals and we didn't come from them.  Notice also that people wear clothes (unique in life).  \n\nLove is also not explained by naturalistic theory, it should not be present if we naturalistically, by chance came from non-life (which is impossible anyway).

what should you do  when you feel lonely???

Gosh.......I answer Yahoo! questions.....what else! haha....\n\nBut seriously I do many things. I call up friends or family. I go running. I read a book and get lost in the adventure. I write......omg I just so love to write. It's amazing how you can work out your problems and solve them by writing about them and figuring out where you went wrong while figuring out how to make it all right again. Lonliness comes in many forms. Be ok being with just yourself and you'll never be lonely. Surround yourself with people you have things in common with and you'll always have a fall back. But love yourself first........its a must!

I remember hearing it this way:  (in layman's terms) When we are in the womb, the genetics that determine whether we will become a man have not "kicked in" yet. At that time the mammary glands are beginning to develop. Then the "male" codes kick in and stop the process after the nipples have developed. They then become just decorative.

How do you know if a website is safe to buy from?

That is certainly a danger.  Fraud is a serious problem and Internet crime is one of the fastest growing crimes out there.\n\nEven if you do recognize the name of the company, they could be "phishing" which simply means using a domain name that resembles that of the company but is different from the real one via:  a common misspelling, an extra/missing hypen in the domain name, etc.\n\nMoreover, crooks like to trick you by making your status bar show something else than the actual URL when you hover over the link, and then change it in the address bar upon your arrival.  Yes, they can do that, unfortunately.  Web browsers seem to have been created by people who think that people do not lie, cheat, or steal - or that such people do not use the web.\n\nThat being said, there are a few things you can do.\n\nLook at online consumer opinions sites.  One example is the epinions.com web site and there are probably others now too.\n\nYou can go to your library, and see if the company has a Dunn & Bradstreet (D&B) entry.  Go to reference section or microfilm/computer area of your local library to check this out. If you get stuck, ask a librarian or someone at the reference desk for help.\n\nIf you click on the order or the registration page, they should go into SSL mode.  At that point, any decent browser will let you check the credentials of the site.  Usually they call it the site certificate or something like that.  Look for that.  If they don't use SSL - hoo boy, do you really want to use their site even if they _are_ who they say they are?\n\nYou want to make sure the cert is good -  not expired, and that it is signed by someone you trust, like Verisign.  It's not an iron-clad garranty they are who they say they are, but it is something.  At least they have claimed it, and the claim has probably not been revoked - not if the cert is still valid and signed by a good/respectable CA.  I am presuming that if they scam a bunch of people and are using SSL, someone will gripe to Verisign or whomever.\n\nYou can minimize your risks, if you are unsure, by buying their merchandise from someone you already trust and do business with online.  For instance, Amazon.  They have been around for a decade and carry a huge variety of products.\n\nAlso, you can use payment intermediaries with some sites.  Like, I just now notice that Apple's iTMS web site says at this moment that if you buy an iTunes gift certificate with PayPal, you get up to 25 Free Songs.  PayPal is pretty popular.  Lots though not most web sites accept payment via Paypal. In some ways, maybe most ways, it is more secure than your credit card.  That is that the worst you can probably be out is the amount of the purchase.  They don't ever actually get to see your credit card when you use PayPal, I think.\n\nIt is a somewhat unstrustworthy world out there.  In some countries/cultures and neighborhoods, it is deemed perfectly acceptable to rip somebody off.  It is a big status symbol thing.  Obviously, law enforcement is lax/lacking in these areas.\n\nCredit card fraud is a huge problem, costing billions of dollars per year.  Be safe, protect yours.


That depends on what problem you're trying to solve.  If you're trying to extract information from XML then using the DOM with XPath is the better choice (especially if you're extracting it into objects in memory such as a collection).  If you're trying to change one version of XML into another version of XML then XSLT is the better choice of the two.   They're not exclusive technologies, they have some overlap in functionality depending on how you use them, but they're intended to solve different problems.\n\nFor pulling statistics out of an XML file, if you're doing some calculations or summary or something and then outputting the results as XML then probably XSLT is the better and more efficient choice.

What paperwork do I have to file in order to sponsor my wife who is an international student.?

Since you are married, you will be filing an adjustment of status (form I-485, $325 fee) (also you will file an affidavit of support, form I-864, $70 fee), which is the path to conditional permanent residency for your wife. It does not matter that your wife is a student or not.\n\nOnce she gains conditional permanent residency, she will have legal presence and will automatically have the ability to work. \n\nHowever, if she wants to work before gaining permanent residency, there is a process to apply for an earlier Employment Authorization Document.

i need an answer from a 15-16 yr old guy?

Don't mess with things if he has a girlfriend. If he's starting to get feelings for you, then he'll break up with her and start persuing a relationship with you. If you find it hard not to flirt with him, then focus on your other friends and give yourself some space from him. If you like him, you shouldn't want to interfere with his happiness. Don't try to talk about it with him, just see how things unfold.


i would like some ideas on sending seceret or coded messages by mail that only the reciepent can figure out?

Since the dawn of time encryption has been the most sought after form of information transmission, this can be done through various means. One of my favorite comes from roman times when they would use a strip of paper wound on a cylinder to write a message, then send the message to the intended receiver who had a cylinder of the same exact diameter. anyone intercepting these messages would need to have an exact diameter cylinder to even attempt to read the message, so you can imagine how for it's time this was a very sophisticated method of encryption, hell it would even baffle the majority of the population today!!!


how can an empty foil lined pringles can be used to aid computer hackers, and be illegal to possess?

as far as I know it is not illegal to possess, but I believe the answer is that a pringles can, especially lined with foil, can be used as a sort of antenna to pick up wireless network signals and piggyback off of someone else's connection...it's not so much "hacking" because these wireless networks are usually unsecured; the pringles can just makes it easier to receive a signal.

What is the meaning and proof of Einstein's E=MC^2?

Really basically, E=mc^2 (be sure to always write m and c as lower case) is the relationship between rest mass and energy. The conversion is pretty simple. The constant c is the speed of light defined as 299,792,458 m/s.\n\nWhat is more useful is perhaps an understanding of just how really huge an amount of energy that makes for even a small amount of mass. This is the reason why nuclear reactions (which convert mass into energy) are so energetic by comparison to chemical reactions (in which mass is more or less conserved).

Yes, optionsXpress.com has "virtual trading" and other tools like watchlists that are valuable. Also go to CBOE (Chicago Board Options Exchange) and 888options.

Is jesus christ and God the same person?

Jesus is the son of God. God is a separate personage, who resides in heaven now and resided in heaven when Jesus walked the earth. God is not "3-in-1," as some claim, but three separate entities: God the Father, Jesus the Christ, and the Holy Ghost (or Holy Spirit). Three entities, of One Mind, comprise the Godhead.\n\nNote that Christ is a title, not a part of a name, and means "the anointed one." (The word Messiah also means "the anointed one," but the word is in a different language.)

I don't believe in any of these third party tools. Disk Accelerators, more memory, disk cleanup.\n\nBe very careful when you use these tools. They can harm your computer instead of helping you. The only thing I understood from you is that you bought a disck accelerator. The only thing that can accelerate your computer is three things, more memory, a new CPU and a new Video Card.\n\nMy suggestion: Don't use it and uninstall it. You will get more headaches if you keep going this way. Good luck.

What forms of ID do I need in order to get into a nightclub?

A drivers license or state/military ID should be sufficient, assuming you live in the United States.  Some will let a College ID slide.


I asked this same question here and didn't have very much luck on finding a reasonable answer.  So after much thought and reaserch, I have formulated the following religion-free theory.\n\nThere are many different views on this topic and most of them relate to religious perspectives.\nFrom a Christian standpoint the purpose of life would of course be to serve the lord and spread his word.\n\nThen there are the typical evolutionist \ntheories on how we are here to further the evolutionary chain and have man-kind evolve into whatever it is that humans are destined to become.\n\nThere are so many other views that I couldn't possibly go into them here but to just quickly name a few; buddhism, hinduism, muslim, hebrew, mormon, taoism, and the list goes on.\n\nMy theory on the purpose of life isn't so complex as many religions make it to be.  To me, THE REAL MEANING AND PURPOSE OF LIFE, is just to be happy, believe in a higher being than yourself, and teach all of this to future generations...everything else is secondary.  Like buddhists I think that being happy and having peace between all the different faiths is the key to all of us co-existing in harmony. I believe that being happy and not as a result of someone else's unhappiness is the easiest way to live a fulfilled life.\n\nBeing positive, spreading joy, having faith in humanity, and trusting in a higher being (whoever that might be based on your faith) is really the only way man-kind will ever survive. So sticking to these simple guidelines, I have managed to keep stress to a minimum and live a full, healthy, happy, and productive life.  That, I think is the real purpose of life....hope it helps.


can i  find awoman talke to me as afriend with out thinking about sex?

Without her thinking about sex or without you thinking about sex? If it's you, then you need to find some self-control. If you don't want to think about it anymore, that is up to you. Take your mind off of it by distracting your brain with something that your lady friend likes to do.. a hobby... non-sexual. Keep distracting yourself until it becomes a habit.

Is there such a thing as delayed E-Mail? Someone writes from another country but the times do not seem right.?

There could be a couple of reasons for this.  One would be that the time stamp on the email is from their country thus it would not match your time zone.\n\nAnother reason would be that internet servers are slower than others.  This would produce "lag time" between the time the email was actually sent (their time stamp) and the time you actually recieve it (your time stamp).


What is the difference between a 401K plan and an IRA or Roth IRA account?

1.  401(k) is like a scooter.  You're company that you work for provides you this savings plan. The company selects who administrates the savings account (where you park your car) which investments you can have (which road you can drive your scooter on), and they can match your contributions (like mom & dad giving you gas money).  If you want to get that money (selling your car), you need to work with the "Fund Administrator", and sometimes your "Human Resources/Supervisors" to get that money.  Sometimes, you'll only get the money if you promise to pay it back.  ( yep, mom & dad want you to be responsable )\n\n2.  IRA is like a standard car. You can select who administrates the account (or where you park your car), what investment to buy (what roads to drive on).  Unfortunantly, there is no one available to give you a match on your contribution (no gas money from mom & dad); but you can deduct your contribution from your taxes.  You can also withdrawl the money at anytime (selling your car). . . BEWARE. . . there are financial concequences to this. . .research before you choose to withdrawl (its like sales tax from selling your car. . .if you sell at the wrong time, you'll get jipped on the sale proceeds).\n\n3.  A Roth IRA is like a hybrid car.  You get to pick who administers the account (parking the car) which investments (which roads to drive), but there is no matching and you can't deduct your yearly contributions from you taxes.  Instead, you can get your money without tax conseques (selling your car) when you need it. . .BEWARE. . . to get your money without tax problems, there are still rules.  Research before you withdrawl funds (sell that car). Providing you withdrawl (sell that car) under the guidlines, you don't have to pay sales tax on the withdrawl ( no sales tax from selling the car).


Will beaming people up like on Star Trek ever be possible?

The uncertainty principle only really applies to subatomic particles - atoms are too big to have any effect. Since we change all of our atoms frequently, replacing them by transportation wouldn't really matter. The important thing is capturing your entire pattern and reproducing it elsewhere.\n\nThis is where the problem lies:\n1) Its a huge amount of information to capture, transmit and reassemble in a sufficiently short amount of time (exabits a seconds)\n2) You would need some reassembly mechanism at the other end - transporting onto a new planet doesn't make sense\n\nSo - transportation from one device to another may be possibly eventually (given the acceleration of technology about 70 years), but transportation as in Star Trek - probably not.

If the email program says "POP3 server" problems, how do I fix it?

most of the time, this error means your POP3 sever is invalid.  if you are using one of Microsoft's email programs (outlook, outlook express), then goto tools > accounts and change your account to the correct POP3 server (this can be found at your email provider's web site most of the time).  Make sure the server has the right password and the 'Requires Authentication' box is checked if needed.  For further instructions, refer to your email service.


Wow... an easy question and a hard question.\nThe key to getting fit is to be active and eat right.\nI will just talk about the active part.\n\nThere are 2 key things that have worked for me.\n1. Do something every day\n2. Variety\n\nSo first of all you have to find something you like to do.  If you don't like it, you wont have fun doing it.\n\nSecondly, you need to have variety.  If you do the same thing every day, I don't care how fun it is you will get bored of it!\n\nSo a very good way to do this is find a friend or partner that likes to do things you like to do.\n\nWhatever you do, do it for at least 1 hour.  Even light activity for 1 hour, every day, is good for you.\n\nGood luck!

Maybe...ther is no law saying you are guaranteed a title.  However they may be in violation of a contract.  If you have an employment contract look at that.  If you are a member of a union, talk to your union shop rep.\n\nIf neither, you are an at will employee and your employer could probably do whatever he or she wants in that respect.

I need an explanation of the system used in the US for presidential elections?

Good explanation here:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Electoral_College\n\nBasically, the people vote, and the representatives of the Electoral College get to cast the real vote.  Who gets to be in the Electoral College is based upon the people's vote.\n\nThe Electoral College can do something unexpected, and vote against the will of the people.  But that doesn't happen very often.\n\nSo really, the people's vote is simply to determine which PARTY gets to put someone into the Electoral College, to cast the REAL vote.  And then a very small number of real people - individuals who are in the Electoral College - determine who the President is, by casting a vote.\n\nYes, it's a stupid system!

Hallo. Some my directories contained the video files, freeze when I open its. How may I repair this problem?

There could be hundreds of reasons why your computer freezes when you try opening video files. Your video files might be infected, it cannot find a program to play those files, or simply your computer is overloaded. \n\nRebooting always helps. Try rebooting your computer. If that doesn't help, try transfering a video file to a different computer.\n\nMost importantly, make sure that you have a media player (MS Windows Media Player, Real Player, Quicktime) that plays your video files.

This is actually very easy to answer, based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise, many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous, making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect, making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken, it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However, whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken, that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?

Why is the 1915 Armenian Genocide denied?

Even though the genocide is carried out and executed by the officially rejected "İttihat ve Terakki Party" under the command of Enver Pasha and Talat Pasha, the new Turkish Republic is founded by Mustafa Kemal who first condemned the act and vowed to punish the perpetrators, then suppressed it altogether for reasons of internal security and sovereignity (also a great deal of İttihat ve Terakki Party members were present in the new parliement even after it was abolished.)\n\nThis made it impossible for the official history to accept the event. Even after Mustafa Kemal died and left the political scene, his ghost lingered on. So the Turkish Denial Machine put in use, inventing a civil war in an area where the civil majority was the Armenians, and they were driven away by the government itself who is supposed to be governing them and their interests.\n\nThis of course, owes to the fact that the new republic built in Turkey was one of the nationalist origin and denied any other nations outside that frame of thought. Already scarred by current and recent Nationalist movements within the land the new government and its followers were afraid of further dissent within the land Armenian genocide was left to be secretly remembered as a warning to all the other nations within the borders of Turkey as an example of what could be done and forgotten if need be.  \n\nArmenian Genocide of course is proven with explicit internal memos (which are contested as fake by extreme right wing ideologues without any reasonable counter proof) and above all memoirs of the victims who managed to survive.\n\nBut according to denial machine of course the so called survivors were just lying because they lost their land.\n\nRegardless of the intent Armenian people are -still- entitled to their land they were forcefully banished from, because the civil population is driven out by the military forces which was supposed to defend them as well. And even if the Armenian Insurgency killed muslims and Turks in the region it does not prove that the perished civil population (women, elderly and children) was all hundred percent behind the atrocities committed by them.\n\nSo genocide or not the outcome is inevitable, but somehow that is rarely ever mentioned by the denial engine's moutpieces. They are way too happy with the whodunnit part than doing anything alleviate the problem caused.

In the song Auld Lang Syne..what does it mean?

Auld acquaintances should not be forgotten.  The first line is a question:\n\nShould auld acquaintance be forgot,\nAnd never brought to mind?\n\nRoughly translated as:  Should we forget old friends and never think of them?  \n\n(A New Year's Question -- forget the past? Or remeber and celebrate it? The answer is in the chorus:)\n\nWe'll tak a cup o kindness yet, \nFor auld lang syne! \n\n\nTranslation: We'll have a drink for old time's sake (to remember old friends and times.)\n\nThe poem is by Robert Burns.


I've actually tried your proposed setup using a slightly scaled down setup i.e. with a main router that's connected to my ISP and a single client router that is connected to the main router. To be on the safe side, I used used a different private IP range (172.16.x.x and 192.168.x.x) for each router's DHCP pool. Donno what would happen if both routers use the same range...theoritically, I think they should work fine because the NATs shouldn't care what IP ranges are used on either side of each box.


Is it possible to fall in love over the internet to someone in a distant country ?

I met my husband via the internet several years ago.\n\nWe were chat buddies at first.  Later, we met in person.  Our bond grew.  Later, we married ourselves to each other.\n\nHe gives me a wake up call every morning.  We talk on the phone often.  We do Yahoo chat together nearly everyday of the week.  \n\nThis is OUR marriage, and we're really quite proud of it.  He lives in the Philippines.  I work and live in the USA, but I consider the Philippines my true home.  In a heartbeat, I would sponsor him to come to the USA, but neither of our countries legally affords Gays any immigration benefits.  So, we do what we have to do.  I'm fortunate that my job gives me June, July, and a few weeks in December off, so that I can be with him.  When I am finished with my career, I will retire to be with him there.

whats the best thing a guy could do for a girl that would make a girl to start to like him?

respect her. show her that you think of her as a person, not just some dummy you want to fool around with. I know a lot of guys that don't respect me, and that automatically puts them at the bottom of my list. Even saying somthing in the wrong tone. Also, compliment her a lot, like if she's really good at painting or has a cool hairstyle that day. Just make sure it's not always about her appearance, or she might get the wrong impression, but a girl does like to be complimented on beauty every once in a while.

I guess only Steve Job is qualified to answer this one. But let me hazard some intelligent guesses.\n\n1) Proprietary technology. There is no Apple-compatible machine from say, Taiwanese manufacturers which explained the lower prices of PCs.\n\n2) Smaller market arising from smaller demand which equates lesser clout in purchasing parts.\n\n3) Integrated software. Apple develops most of the software required by most people and then bundle them with the Mac. This will costs money, which you normally have to buy separately for a PC (case in point, iPhoto). Of course there are freewares for PC as well.\n\n4) Premium pricing to give the 'image' of a better quality and cooler product.

Crying can mean many different things. People cry when angered, sad, happy...it's basically an action tied to an emotion, like a laugh. \nIf something makes you cry it doesn't have to mean you are sensitive or anything inparticular, it could just be the way your body reacts to the situation. \nSomething could happen and cause one person to become so saddened and depressed they kill them self yet never shed a tear. \nDon't put too much into the tears..take notice to the feelings behind them.

Why are the Jewish given so much attention, when they make up only a small number of the population?

Jews are what came before Christians and Muslims.  They're a large and very well established "race". They have also been openly persecuted throughout written history and still today are threatened all around.  That's probably why there's so much attention.  As far as Muslims go, I don't think you would expect that much attention until the terrorism brought it to attention.  Then there were countless TV commercials telling us that Muslims were not bad people and that these acts were committed by a handful of radical maniacs, thereby bringing Muslims to our attention.  I think because of that we are learning more but there was just no reason to earlier.  We also tend to ignore the other major religiions of the world because they aren't right there in our face.  How much does the average Chinese adult know about Christianity?  I really wouldn't know.\n\nAnyway, Happy Holidays!
