PLEASE BE PATIENT AND READ THE CORRECT ANSWER :)\n\nThe USSR's launch of Sputnik spurred the U.S. to create the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) in February 1958 to regain a technological lead. DARPA created the Information Processing Technology Office to further the research of the Semi Automatic Ground Environment program, which had networked country-wide radar systems together for the first time. J. C. R. Licklider was selected to head the IPTO, and saw universal networking as a potential unifying human revolution. Licklider recruited Lawrence Roberts to head a project to implement a network, and Roberts based the technology on the work of Paul Baran who had written an exhaustive study for the U.S. Air Force that recommended packet switching to make a network highly robust and survivable. After much work, the first node went live at UCLA on October 29, 1969 on what would be called the ARPANET, the "eve" network of today's Internet. In December of 1970, Charles A. Petrik contacted the U.S. Navy and suggested that a special communications network, that the Department of Defense had built for use in the possiblitity of a nuclear attack, could also be used during peace time. Petrik convinced the military to connect the computers of the U.S. National Laboratories for scientific research purposes, and to allow these labs to get data to other labs faster, and safer.\n\nThe first TCP/IP wide area network was operational by 1 January 1983 , when the United States' National Science Foundation (NSF) constructed a university network backbone that would later become the NSFNet. (This date is held by some to be technically that of the birth of the Internet.) It was then followed by the opening of the network to commercial interests in 1995. Important separate networks that offered gateways into, then later merged into the Internet include Usenet, Bitnet and the various commercial and educational X.25 networks such as Compuserve and JANET. The ability of TCP/IP to work over these pre-existing communication networks allowed for a great ease of growth. Use of Internet as a phrase to describe a single global TCP/IP network originated around this time.\n\nThe network gained a public face in the 1990s. In August 1991 CERN in Switzerland publicized the new World Wide Web project, two years after Tim Berners-Lee had begun creating HTML, HTTP and the first few web pages at CERN in Switzerland. In 1993 the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign released the Mosaic web browser version 1.0, and by late 1994 there was growing public interest in the previously academic/technical Internet. By 1996 the word "Internet" was common public currency, but it referred almost entirely to the World Wide Web.\n\nMeanwhile, over the course of the decade, the Internet successfully accommodated the majority of previously existing public computer networks (although some networks such as FidoNet have remained separate). This growth is often attributed to the lack of central administration, which allows organic growth of the network, as well as the non-proprietary open nature of the Internet protocols, which encourages vendor interoperability and prevents any one company from exerting too much control over the network.


Need specific directions on partitioning my 250GB HDD?

I'm assuming that you have it installed already and correctly, meaning you set the jumpers correctly.  First, right click on my computer, select manage, select disk management, right click on your new hard drive.  Initialize it.  Once you initialize it you can set up your partitions from there.


Humanity has yet to fully recover from the Christian movement. While the Bible does contain a lot of good messages for people to care for one another, other parts of it are a bunch of garbage. I mean think about it, assuming God exists, why would he only grant "authority" to some administration centered in the Vatican? It's A Scam. We don't need fancy stories or mundane, repetetive procedures every Sunday. We need love and respect for one another.


What are the causes behind the Nepal crisis?

root cause is INDIA\n* India has successfully taken control over Bhutan's energy resources and already started to have the benefit.\n* Nepal have energy to cater India's energy need for industrialization and irrigation and clean drinking water for eastern India. They want to have total control in any hydro projects that'll be build in Nepal.\n* keep ppl in power so that they are ready to sell resources or even country.\n* India knew that until and unless royal family is in power, it's not possible. This is because for the royals, Nepal is the only place in the world where they will get highest degree of respects and they'd never sell the country. For that, India played the key role to instill democracy in 2046 and implant corrupted people in the government. According to the plan, some leaders of ours sold out rivers and lands during the 15 years. That we all know. Now India could not depend only on those dogs. For that, how to make Nepal completely helpless in shortest period? So that Nepal will come down on the ground with knees.\n*Attack on the source of economy was the simplest route towards Nepal's bring down. Maoists were born in western Nepal which is the hub of ayurvedic medicine and one of Nepal's major exports\nBesides that, major objective of giving birth to Maoists was to attack the spinal of Nepal's economy- tourism.

how come  Jewish people don't celebrate Easter?

Jews don't believe that Christ was the savior of man, nor God's son.  Ergo, holidays involving Jesus are not traditionally celebrated by Jews.\n\nAnd Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus.\n\nWhich, again, Jew's don't believe happened. SO they don't celebrate it, even the popular secularized version, usually.


How do you feel about being able to try out clothes at stores?

There is no reason you shouldn't simply count on washing them once before you wear them.  It is irrational to expect people will not only know how a garment fits, but how it looks on them, without trying it on.  For one thing, the size number is only a guide; different garments fit loose or snug, and in different parts of the body, and people have differently shaped bodies, even within the same size.  There is simply no substitute for trying it on.\n\nIf you are really creeped about wearing something someone else has tried on, buy all your clothes mail-order, and accept that you will sometimes have to send them back because they aren't what you expected.


Why do Green Day songs have so many bad words?

There is an age-old adage that I have yet to find an exception to:  Profanity is the way uneducated people struggle to express themselves.\n\nI don't think anyone would accuse Billy Joe Armstrong of being well educated.  He may raise some good points in some of this songs and people may like his music, but that does NOT mean the same as having a well-rounded education and a vast vocabulary. \n\nIt is the same in society.  Well educated people have a wide range illustrative words with which to adorn their language.  Poorly-educated people need to use the same time-worn words and phrases over and over again since they lack a widely diverse vocabulary.  It always has been--it always will be.\n\nWhat is the solution?  If you are poorly educated and use a lot of profanity in hopes of expressing yourself, be sure to hang around with other poorly educated people; they will never know that you are dumb (not you personally--this is generic advice for everyone).  The risk you take if you hang around with smart people is that you be exposed as a poorly educated moron and they will never take you seriously.


that song rocks! i love greenday! billie jo used to be hot b4 he died is hair blonde


What is your spin on Big Love? What if the Religion was not apart of it, and it was one women and three men?

I think that was the situation in sex and the city, right the Samantha had about ten times as many men as your suggestion and she was always happy!\nOh and I would totally watch a show where the men had to stay home w/ the kids!


Why do people think that men and women are the same?

They want to think the feminist movement needs to continue...it's all a load of crap if you ask me, and a woman should be encouraged to stay at home if she wants, not discouraged.


Why do Christians answer questions with rude remarks? isn't this hypocritical?

Maybe most Christians are rude hypocritical people.


Why don't people use a picture here on yahoo answers?

If we wanted people to know what we looked like, we would go out and get 'real' friends!


How much more would you pay if we didn't have the penny?  All those taxes would round to the highest nickel instead of penny.  So if something had a tax of .5 cents you would pay 4.5 cents instead.  Over the course of the year you'd spend quite a bit more in sales taxes alone.


when is starsky and hutch 4th season coming on dvd?

They actually put that out on DVD?   I watched it as a kid, but, even then I knew it was dreck.


Yes!  Science is the spawn of Satan.  It tries to trick us into believing patent nonsense like a round earth, a solar centric system, the nonexistence of ghosts, "evil"ution, and communication at a distance - all things that god tells us are false.\n\nI think I've even seen scientists gathered together incanting magic spells to access great power.  Oh sure, they call these spells equations, but only a sorcerer could comprehend all those squiggles.\n\nYep, dey's 'da debil all right.  Plus, they all go to church together Sunday morning and donate 10% (gross or net according to their own conscience).  What more proof do you need that it's a cult!?


Could enyone talk me about Gods characteristics?

“THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD’S FORGIVENESS”\n\n 1.  It is COMPLETE…"And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses." (Colossians 2:13)\n\n \n\n2.  It is BY GRACE…"In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace."  (Ephesians 1:7)\n\n \n\n3.  It is UNEQUALED…"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy."  (Micah 7:18)\n\n \n\n4.  It is CERTAIN…"I write unto you, little children, because your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake."  (1 John 2:12)\n\n \n\n5.  It is INFINITE…"He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities… As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."  (Psalm 103:10, 12)\n\n \n\n6.  It is MERCIFUL…"For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee."  (Psalm 86:5)\n\n \n\n7.  It is LOVING…"Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back."  (Isaiah 38:17)\n\n \n\n8.  It is only thru JESUS CHRIST…"To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."  (Acts 10:43)\n\n \n\n9.     It is only thru FAITH…"Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses." (Acts 13:38-39)\n\n \n\n10.      It is MOTIVATING…\n\n \n\na.     It motivates GREAT LOVE TOWARDS GOD.  (Luke 7:36-50)\n\n \n\nb.     It motivates DEEP RESPECT FOR GOD.  (Psalm 130:3-4)\n\n \n\nc.     It motivates GRACIOUS FORGIVENESS TOWARD OTHERS.  (Eph. 4:31-32)\n\n --------------------------------------------------------\n\nSEVEN CHARACTERISTICS OF GOD\nPhil 2:5, Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus,\nTo discover some of the attitude of Jesus, let's study the beatitudes and parables about the kingdom of God. \n\nPOOR IN SPIRIT \n\nMat 5:3, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.\nIf we want God to rule as king in our heart, there must be no other rulers there. That's what pride is. It is when we put faith in something besides God. \n\nPro 16:18, Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. 19 It is better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.\n"Lord, when we are wrong, make us willing to change. And when we are right, make us easy to live with." (Peter Marshall) \n\nSammy Morris, a devoted Christian from Africa who came to America to go to school. Although his pathway to service for Christ was not easy, his difficulties never deterred him. Perhaps this was because he had learned genuine humility. One incident that showed this occurred when he arrived at Taylor University in Indiana. He was asked by the school's president what room he wanted. Sammy replied, "If there is a room nobody wants, give it to me." Later the president commented, "I turned away, for my eyes were full of tears. I was asking myself whether I was willing to take what nobody else wanted." \n\nWas Jesus poor in Spirit? Yes, He didn't come as a dictator to make us obey - He leaves the choice to us. The people who are rich in the kingdom of this world stockpile their wealth with little thought of anyone else. The Father, on the other hand, in His poverty of spirit, continually empties himself for our sake. Coming dow

how did the mona lisa inspire other paintings of that time era?

I was looking for a loan company but i have bad credit, who should i go to?

Have you tried applying with a cosigner?  That should always be your first step if you have bad credit but know someone who doesn't.  You  might be able to borrow a loan with a "cosigner release." This release lets your co-signer "off the hook" once you make a certain number of on-time payments (4 years is typical), so you receive the interest rate benefit of a cosigner with minimal risk to that person who has helped you obtain the loan.\n\nBe careful when searching online for companies that specifically claim to offer loans to people with bad credit.  Education FInance Partners, which the above poster suggests, is a legitimate company, so there's no reason not to look into that one if s/he says it worked.  Consider also Campus Door, Access Group, or Wells Fargo's (Collegiate Loan).  \n\nIf you have bad credit already, make sure that you don't apply for loans indiscriminately -- every inquiry into your credit is another "hit" on your credit score.  Check out the huge list of private loan lenders on FinAid's website: http://www.finaid.org/loans/privatestudentloans.phtml Go to each website and read the terms and credit criteria of their loans until you find one that focuses more on one of your credit strengths (job history, perhaps).  \n\nOnce you get a loan (which will probably be at a higher interest rate than you might like) consider working on your credit score and, when you get the chance, paying off that loan with something that boasts a lower rate. Pay close attention to the rate of the loan you are offered -- it could be close to 15% or 20%, which is very high.  Use the loan while you need it but get rid of it as soon as you can (apply the same logic to any high-interest credit cards, too).


where was Theodor Robert geisel and Henrietta Seuss geisel born at ?

Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known to the world as the beloved Dr. Seuss, was born in 1904 on Howard Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Ted's father, Theodor Robert, and grandfather were brewmasters in the city. His mother, Henrietta Seuss Geisel, often soothed her children to sleep by "chanting" rhymes remembered from her youth. Ted credited his mother with both his ability and desire to create the rhymes for which he became so well known. \n\nSorry, i cannot find anything about the other woman. :(


can a guy be covicted of stalking his wife?

Sadly the answer is YES! If you have done all that you can with in your power to try and reconcile, but she does not want to, then the best thing you can do for yourself, is leave her alone. No woman (or man for that matter) is worth going to jail for.

what role does personnel take in the strategic and operational development of the hr plan?

The personnel you have in your company is one of the most important thing(resource), if not the most important, when  you start to make a plan you have to know what kind of people do you have, their knowledge and capacities. You have to know  their abilities(skills) because is very import how you distribute them, where is going each one does his best job, besides communication and participation of them in the plan, sometimes your people can give you greats ideas or correct big mistakes,And because when some body participate in something became a part of it .\nYou can t make any plan if you don t count with the correct people, your plan could be fantastic, but if your people  aren't the adequate , the plan will fail


In inorganic chemistry, are the carbonyls of the lanthanides likely to be stable?

it is hard to say as some of these compounds have never been made, but if you stick to your classic organometallic 18 electron rule then i presume they would be.  I know you can make a carbonyl with uranium, but if it is stable i don't know.\n\nEDIT: i've just looked at my organometallic textbook and it states that presently (1988) no lanthanide carbonyl has been made that is stable at room temprature.  You can make them but they hyrolyse straight away.


what do you say about this...regarding the us troops in iraq?

I feel that in a given situation what started as good intent has turned bad.  Our soldiers went to Iraq on a mission for our leaders, a mission disguised as Democracy.  You cannot blame the soldiers.  When this mission did not turn in favor of our leaders bad things began to happen, soldiers in confusion, some of them young and very ignorant or unknowledgable of the Iraqi culture, or any respect of other cultures, some just the a-holes that we interact with on any given day back here in the USA, those who are high strung or have a superior than you attitude. Some, terrified young men and woman just out of high school who have yet to experience  anything of the world. Some very honorable and moral human beings-our soldiers are as diverse in humanity as any civilian on our streets-good and bad people. They are thrown into a seemingly hopeless and confusing situation.  Yes, it has turned bad, horrifically bad.  My cousin returned from his tour just 6 months ago and the heinous crimes he witnessed by his fellow soldiers against Iraqis was mentally trying and heartwrenching for him (I wish I could say more of his proof that he has, it is visual and graphically distburing)..but he feared for his own safety and feared to report some the callous acts of these soldiers as threats were made against him when he confronted them. One went as far as to make a comment of "Friendly Fire" and how dishonorable that it is to go home in a coffin from an "accident" instead of courageous battle.  There are bad people and yes some are our own, the best thing for us to do is leave Iraq.  I have said it before its not losing a war but admitting an error.  I have heard of the atrocities our soldiers are doing to civilians, and the lack of hesitation towards anyone as if they are all enemies from a soldier, an honorable person, my cousin. A man who beloves strongly in God and Faith and is terrified to speak out on what he has seen ...I hope he finds the courage to speak out and our government to admit the mistakes that they have made.\nHope this gives you insight to how some of us feel about what you mentioned.  I love and respect all cultures and all religions even if I do not understand them or agree with them, that is why the world is the world we live in the joy of diversity , the abiltiy to learn something new from someone, from ones culture.

The sky goes up about 100,000 feet or 30,000 meters. then there is space. No air, freezing cold. \nOther things in the sky are clouds made of water vapor, electrical currents called magnetic fields. There are particles of dust and Ice crystals floating around. There are airplanes that people fly in, the airplanes leave trails call condensation trails, or con-trails. There are weather balloons that carry small radios that tell people on the ground what the temperature of the air is and how fast the air is moving to help understand weather patterns. There are birds in the sky too. Stars are not in the sky. The blue sky we see only goes up to about 60,000 feet or 20,000 meters. Then the water vapor is no more and the sky above that looks black. There are many other things in the sky. Like gasses, argon, helium,nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ozone and others. The sky is what lets us breath, and fly and it protects us from bad radiation coming from the sun. It also is thick and makes small meteors burn up so they do not hit us on the ground. The sky is good, the sky is our friend. Go out on a windy day and fly a kite in the sky, Have fun and enjoy the sky.


Is it ethical to bench pitchers in your fantasy baseball league just to win the WHIP or ERA categories?

Yes. There is nothing wrong with that. However, odds are you will probably lose the Wins and Strikeouts categories as you need to accumulate more innings to be competitive. You are better off starting your pitchers trying to win as many statistics as possible.


Is it sensible to cook for a person on your first date?

I think it's a great idea if you know how to cook and a bad one if you don't.  Don't make a huge meal, a simple gourmet meal is the best.  Get a bottle of wine as well, but drink it in moderation.  This is, after all, a FIRST date.  Good luck!\n\nEDIT:  I find it hilarious that people did NOT read your question thoroughly!  I keep seeing SHE this, SHE that.\n\nAgain, good luck with the date!

Do you think that the information that we get from various sources (media, leaders) is accurate?

political leaders have an interest in making sure you don't know what's going on. If you did, you'd know what they were doing, and more specifically, what they were doing wrong.\n\nAnd, the media, sometimes they give accurate information, sometimes not. it depends on who they are, who they work for, how unpalatable what they have to say is, and most importantly, who the audience is. \n\nBut, to that I will add that the majority of news viewers don't bother to scrutinise politicians, because they think TV did that for them. And they don't scrutinise the media, they just accept what they're told.

Opinions on FAIR v. Rumsfeld?  ROTC recruiting in Institutions of higher Education? pros and cons?..?

Well I think if an institution of higher learning receives funding from the government, they are absolutely required to allow ROTC or military recruiters on to campus. The argument presented by FAIR was that the presence of ROTC and military recruiters violated their first amendment rights. It's a preposterous argument that is rooted in an antipathy towards the military but the problem is that the military did not create their policies that they had a problem with (like "dont ask, dont tell") congress did. \n\nStudents and faculty are allowed too demonstrate and protest military presence on campus if they want too (and, trust me, they do) but recruiters are allowed to be there as well. They are considered outsiders, no different from businessmen who come onto campus for hiring purposes at job fairs. Students are not obligated to join or participate. They are not obligated to follow the policies of the military. Those who do, volunteered knowing full well what they were signing up for. For example, I dont see anybody calling for companies that have third world sweat shops to be kicked out of job fairs. \n\nThe idea that you can kick out or ban an organization that has no effect on you simply because you don't like their policies is preposterous. Which is why the Supreme Court unanimously ruled 8-0 in favor of keeping ROTC and recruiters on campus.

What does a guy have to do to get a girl notice him, without actually talking to her?

a guy can get a girl to notice him pretty easy by the way he looks at her... try not to look away too quickly once you guys make eye contact, and then look away. if she's intrested in you, she'll probably look at you more to see if you are looking at her again... when guys do that to me, it works.. but then again, for some girls it might freak them out? just see her reaction. \n\nand then once you guys start that, you should talk to her. make it in a casual way; something that seems like an accident that you even talked to her... pick up something she dropped or something like that.

should American government get involve for their people?

The American government has a very good reputation for protecting its citezens abroad.  It should do all that it can diplomaticly to protect its citezens but the individuals need to take responsibiblity for their own safety and understand that some places are not safe to visit.  Its the same in most Islamic nations, in China, in many African nations, and in some areas of India.  You can't count on the U.S. government to bail you out of every bad decision you make in your life.


Hi i want to know how many times Brazil won the footballworld cup?

Brazil have won the FIFA World Cup 5 times, in 1958, 1962, 1970, 1994 and 2002.  The original Jules Rimet Trophy was kept by Brazil after they won it for the third time in 1970.\nBrazil failed to win the World Cup in 1950, when the world cup was held in Brazil, the trophy was then won by Uruguay.


How can I apply total quality management in my school?

The first step in any type of quality management is to find a good manager.\n\nOne of the largest problems in schools, and for that matter anywhere, is that people think theat they are the ones to bring quality management... this is a wrong idea, never think that quality management must be done by you. More often than not a parent will think they are the ones do do such and then make it so difficult for the teachers that the word "quality" just drops off the radar.\n\nSo first step is to find someone else.\n\nThe next step is to realise that there is no such thing as "total" quality management... or to be more correct, there is no such thing as "successful" total quality management.\nNo matter how hard you try there will always be an area that simply does not stand up to your expectations, if it does, then it will not stand up to someone elses expectations.\n\nSo the second step is to lower your expectations. (this will mean you are more pleased if it goes above expectaions)\n\nThe final step in applying total quality management is to learn that one person does not do it themselves. It is necassary for all teachers to apply to the guidelines set, not only this, but they must also take part in the formation of such guidelines.\n\nThus the final step is to include everyone\n\n\nI would recommend starting smaller... like\n"How do I apply quality management in my school?" or,\n"how can I influence others to apply quality management in my school?", perhaps even\n"Who knows of a school that has good experience with quality management?"

How long exactly is a "Cotton picking minute"?

For the benefit of the above posters, a cotton-picking minute (CPM) is most definitely not equivalent to a NY minute (NYM).  Anyone who lives in the State knows that a NY minute comprises less than 60 seconds.  The actual equation for a NY minute is:\n\nNYM = 60sec/((b+1)*2)\n\nWhere "b" is equivalent to the # of times you beep your horn per mile. Thus a NYM varies with relative environmental influences (time of day, traffic, weather, etc).\n\nA cotton-picking minute, on the otherhand, actually comprises a period of time longer than 60 seconds.  The equation to calculate a CPM is:\n\nCPM= 60sec + (H/2)\n\nWhere H is the relative % humidity.  Humidity rather than temperature had a great impact on the rate of cotton picked by those harvesting the crop by hand, as you can well imagine.  Thus it plays an integral role in determination of how long a CPM is.  Like a NYM, a CPM is ultimately influenced by environmental factors, and therefore it's value can vary.\n\n\nHope this helps clarify things.

Who is for the subject. Whom is for the object.\n\nSecond easiest way to sort it out: If the answer could be "he" use "who"; if the answer could be "hiM" use "whom".\n\nEasiest way to sort it out: always use "who"--"whom" is falling into disuse and it's always better to simply be wrong than to be wrong by trying to look smart.

Who was born July 24 1985? and what is your sex, and name?

Wow!  Good Luck to you.  \nThis got my attention because my eldest daughter was born on 24th July 1986.\nNo, she isn't your twin lol, but I just wanted to reply anyway to wish you good luck.\nI was adopted out at birth, and when I was 14 I met a boy who became a great friend.  He was the same height as me (a shorty), the same skin and hair colour, was also born on the same day, in the same hospital and was also adopted out.\nI was convinced we were twins until I met my birth mother when I was 26 and she told me, no I wasn't a twin, but she remembered another baby being born and adopted out the same day as me.\nBest wishes, and if anyone sees Gerard tell him Sarah's lookin for him ;)


Simple definiton of terms :compounding, annual % rate and annual% yield?

Compounding when interest builds on something. If interest is charged or paid monthly then the interest compounds monthly.\n\nAnnual % rate is the rate per year. In the example of having a certificate of deposit at a bank, it is the amount that the bank gives you if you were to get paid interest once a year. Generally that number is divided by 12 and paid monthly.\n\nAnnual % yeild is the annual % rate you get when you include the interest that you earn on your interest.

Hi! How do I open a file in C and create one if it doesn't exist?

You can't extend a file with mmap().  You can map\nmemory that you might write into, but when you close\nor fsync the file, it will NOT be extended.\n\nThe historical way to do this is to lseek to the position\nyou want and write a single byte.  The filesystem will\narrange that the intervening bytes will look like zeros.\n\nI've modified your program snippet to open a file,\nmmap it, and scribble in a bunch of bytes -- while\npreserving whatever is there.  It's not particularly\nclever, but it should show most of the details you're\nlooking for.  You can contact me through YA if you\nhave questions.\n\n#include <sys/types.h>\n#include <sys/stat.h>\n#include <fcntl.h>\n#include <sys/stat.h>\n#include <unistd.h>\n#include <sys/mman.h>\n#include <stdio.h>\n#include <string.h>\n#include <stdlib.h>\n\nint\nmain(int argc, char* argv[])\n{\n  int shfd;\n  struct stat statbuff;\n  char *filename = argc>1 ? argv[1]     : "testfile";\n  int   mmapsize = argc>2 ? atoi(argv[2]) : 100000;\n  char *mem;\n\n  /* open the file */\n  if ((shfd = open(filename, O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0677)) < 0)\n    perror("open failed"), exit(-1);\n\n  /* if it is too small, we will extend the file for the mmap */\n  if (fstat(shfd, &statbuff) != 0)\n    perror("stat"), exit(-1);\n  if (statbuff.st_size < mmapsize) {\n    if (lseek(shfd, mmapsize-1, SEEK_SET) == (off_t)-1)\n      perror("lseek"), exit(-1);\n    if (write(shfd, "\0", 1) < 0)\n      perror("write"), exit(-1);\n  }\n\n  /* map a portion of the file to buffer in memory */\n  if ((mem = mmap(0, mmapsize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, shfd, 0)) == MAP_FAILED)\n    perror("mmap failed"), exit(-1);\n\n  /* scribble on the file *after* whatever was already there */\n  if (statbuff.st_size < mmapsize)\n    memset(mem+statbuff.st_size, 'X', mmapsize-statbuff.st_size);\n\n  if (close(shfd) < 0)\n    perror("close"), exit(-1);\n\n  return 0;\n}


Retro - behind\nPeritoneum - a layer of tissue that covers the abdominal organ.\n\nAny abdominal organ that is attached to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity is called retroperitoneal organ. E.g. pancreas, kidney, ureter, colon. These organs only partly covered by peritoneum at their anterior surface.\n\nThe abdominal organs that are not attach to the posterior wall of the abdominal cavity are called intraperitoneal organs. e.g. stomach, small intestine. These organs are completely covered by peritoneum.

what are difference between positive displacement pump and non positive?

I believe from my old chem eng days before I gave that up to become a model that a positive displacement pump is where the liquid is forced though the device by changing the volume of the pump e.g. a piston. Their operating characteristics are therefore relatively independant of pressure but they are less efficient with high volumes \n\nOther types of pumps e.g. centrifugal do not change the volume of pump or force liquid in the same way but rather alter the pressure by 'flinging' the liquid.


can i please get some info about the linesville high school talent show acts i was in it.?

Hmmmmm.... Your writing is terrible.  So, I have to make some guesses.  According to the title, it appears that you were in the talent show.  So, it seems like you might be one of the best sources or have access to the best sources of the information you seek.  However, there just may not be a Web page on the Linesville High School Talent Show.  \n\nNow, just why anyone on Yahoo Answers would know even where Linesville High School is, I don't know.  It sounds like it's in the middle of Hucklebuckville, Nebraska.  Basically, some bowhunk town.\n\nSo, just where is Linesville?  Does anybody there even know what the Internet is? :P

how do you lose weight fast after binging on junk food?

Honestly, its better you consult a specialist to find out what's best for you. I really want to help but I don't think I can give better answers than specialist do. Sorry.\n\ngood luck\n\nLove is omnipresence, Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.

What is the role of an OT and COTA in low vision services.?

Basically, OTs, COAs, COTs, and any other similar credentials means one thing.  They are kind of like eye nurses.  OT stands for ophthalmic technician.  COA stands for certified ophthalmic assistant.  I am an ophthalmic assitant, OA.  Depending upon the practice, these people have different duties.  In my practice, the techs do whatever the doctor needs.  In reference to low vision, I suppose the tech might have a say in the type of services you may need, with the doctor having last say.  They may teach the patient how to use devices, or simply be there to answer questions.  These people assist the doctor in exams as well.  SO basically, they are there to take care of you and address any questions or problems you might have, don't be afraid to ask, worse case scenario is that they will not know, and then they will ask the doctor!


How do you do a show for 1 2 3 4 5 years old?

I have a huge spanking fetish..does anyone know any good websites/book/etc about spanking?

First, I will second the young lady above me on the "Sleeping Beauty" series, written by Anne Rice under the pseudonym AN Roquelaure. Also, The Art of Spanking \nby Milo Manara and SO SPANK ME!: Tales of Blistered Bottoms\nby Jay Lawrence.\n As far as websites, I personally recommend fareastmedia.com for spanking videos (I am biased, my finace is in one of there vids!), but there is a ton out there from extreme softcore/informational to XXX.  \n Also, check out adamandeve.com and bettersex.com for many good links.\n Good luck and happy spanking!!

There are three types of percent problems.\n\nOne is finding the number that is a certain percent of a given number:\n\nWhat number is 25% of 80? Answer 20 (80 x .25)\n\nYou do those by multiplying the number by the percent and remembering that 25% is the same as .25 (or the fraction 1/4)\n\n\nThe second is when you have two numbers and you want compare them by saying one of the numbers is a certain percent of the other:\n\nWhat percent of 25 is 5? Answer 20% (5/25 = .20 = 20%)\nWhat percent of 5 is 25? Answer 500% (25/5 = 5.00 = 500%)\n\nYou do those by dividing the "is" number by the "of" number. \n\nThe third type of percent problem asks you what number a given number is a percent of:\n\n15 is 25% of what number? Answer 60 (15/.25)\n225 is 150% of what number? Answer 150 (225/1.5)\n\nTo find the answer to these, you divide the given number by the percentage, which is usually easier if you convert it to its decimal form.\n\nRemember, in all these problems, percentages can represent part of a whole or something more than the whole. If this year you made only a quarter of what you did last year, this year's income is 25% of last year's and your income has dropped by 75%. (The 25% and 75% add up to 100% of last year's income.) If you make twice as much this year as last year, your income has increased by 100% and you have made 200% of last year's income. (The 100% from last year plus the 100% gain add up to 200%.)\n\nAn interesting discussion of a method one teacher used to teach these concepts is at the website referenced below. Hope this helps.

voltage across a conductor is doubled, current is observ. triple, what conclude about the conductor?

Since V=IR  (voltage V equals Current I times resistance R), if the voltage doubles, then so should the current...that is unless the resitance is somehow variable, which is not normal - so it tells you the conductor may have undergone some kind of chnage in state.


i m too much extravagant, i m not able to save any money what to do ?

Compulsive spending, like all other compulsions, must be dealt with one day at a time.  Since you know you have been spending too much, what can you do about it TODAY?  You can avoid those budgetary items that are most nearly luxuries rather than necessities; I do not NEED another DVD.\n\nThen, when it comes to necessities, try to appreciate just how much of each necessity you really need.  I have known plenty of people, not only females, who have more clothes than they can possibly wear.  Or they buy new clothes just to put off doing the laundry!  \n\nThen, finally, there is extravagance even with necessities that involves higher quality than you can reasonably afford.  It is all very nice to have good taste, but the finest of everything every day is for multimillionaires, not ordinary folk.  Allow yourself one fine luxury habit, such as very good tea instead of cheap supermarket types, and let that be your "little luxury," because it is the only one.  Or enjoy the thrill of finding very good bargains, but only buy what you really need when it really is a remarkable bargain.\n\nOne day at a time, my friend; you'll be OK.

why has atheism had such a boost lately?

Atheists have seen how dangerous and frightening the rising tide of religious unreason can be, we are realising we have to defend ourselves against intolerant zealotry that is becoming incrersingly politicised and aggressively pushing it's agenda onto Goverment policy making.\n\nThose atheists who previously never formed into groups (herding atheists is traditionally like herding cats...difficult)) are now getting seriously organised at last. It is as though zealots are trying to pretend the enlightenment never happened...well it did and we will not be going back to the dark ages when superstiton and religion reigned over reason...\n\nExpect opposition to religious intolerance and unreason to be stepped up and the debate about human rights to widen. Time to see who actually holds the moral high ground and to do that we will need to examine religion very closely and confront it's postive and negative aspects then weigh up the difference.\n\nAre religions really the positive force they claim to be, or are we better off as a society ignoring them?


Absolutely DO NOT pop blisters !!!  Blisters are "nature's bandages".  To help them heal soak them in tepid water and apply a good cream like Neosporin (an anti-biotic cream)and then wrap them gently w/bandages or whatever feels comfy to your blisters.  Tea tree oil in the soak can be helpful for the healing process.  GOOD LUCK !!!


Yes I think so. It means sharing with your special love, empathizing with them.\nIt's seeing the beauty in a flower, a poem, a movie, or just life itself.\nIt's not being cynical, being in tune with your feelings.\ni suppose it means different things to different people, which applies to most things.\nIt's all a matter of what you feel, and are moved by the nicer things in life.


Why are there so many power lines and telecommunication lines on each utility pole?

The wires are placed on the poles according to their voltage - highest voltage on top (farthest away from people) and lowest on the bottom. This means the bottom one(s) is usually telephone (12 volts), then cable tv (30 volts) then the "secondaries" which are what your house runs on (220 volts) and then all the way up top, the "primaries" which carry electricity over long distances, and are usually 13,600 volts.

A human being with the XX chromosome will be female.Is this true?

To answer your question....yes.  The egg cells of the female all carry X chromosomes.  The sperm cells can carry either X or Y.  So basically, the sex of a mammal depends on the male, and which particular sperm fertilizes the egg (X).  If an X sperm fertilizes the egg, you have XX, which is a female, and if a Y sperm fertilizes it, you have XY, which is male.  This is why some sex-linked traits are more visible in males, such as color blindness, but that's a whole different post.

What can you do when a loved relative shuts you out of their life without an explanation?

My daughter did this to me this past year.  So I think what I have done may help you.  I let her have plenty of space...no thanksgiving, no christmas, no new years, no birthdays...she never called or brought her children to see me.  It was hard.  I tried calling a few times and she never would answer my calls but I left on the answering machine..."No matter what, I have unconditional love for you, and I love you."  I did this for months.  I sent cards and they were returned to sender (me)  It hurt deeply!  \n\nSo I prayed for strength to go on...and I continued to leave love messages on her phone, and then I sent cards that did not have a return address.  Finally 2 weeks ago, she picked up the phone when I called.  We talked for over a week about the problems and why she did this to me.  I maybe will never know the reason.  But...I will continue to do the right thing.  You have to do what you know is right in your heart, to give yourself peace.  I hope I have helped you out.

You're right, President Bush cannot be blamed for everything.  Democrats voted for us to go to war too...and I still don't think they were completely wrong (even though my own husband is leaving in a couple of weeks...).  Gas prices?  Not the President's fault.  They're higher in Europe.  The economy?  President Clinton was handed an excellent economy, which is proven to be trickle-down economics from both Reagan's time in office, as well as Bush Sr.  President Bush was given an economy that was destined to break down, just like Harding.  We're lucky it hasn't led us into the next Great Depression.  Everything that can be done, is being done.\nGood job asking a great question!


Has anyone had any experience with any of Paul McKenna's self help books + CD? Do they work?

Paul McKenna is big into NLP...neurolinguistic programming. A lot of people swear by NLP, but then a lot of people swear by all kinds of woo-woo BS. I've studied NLP, and most of it is presented in incredibly complicated, technical forms. Translation...you need to buy my CD or attend my course to "get it." I think there ARE some true, helpful things in NLP, like everything else, but it's buried in a mountain of nonsense and psychobabble...my opinion.\n\nTry Dwayne Dyer instead. Try is book "The Secrets of the Power of Intentioning." Yes, his stuff has the flavor of California woo-woo, too but there's way more truth and useful material. I've been helped by his books.\nhttp://www.drwaynedyer.com/

Are we (USA) on track for another "energy crisis" like we saw in the 70's?

I think we will probably see gas go to $3.75 a gallon this summer.  I drove to New York this past weekend and a gallon of regular gas was $2.80 and super was $3.05 (Ultra was $3.11)   I really feel sorry for all those people with their super big SUV's.  I think that as long as we keep on making these large cars that are like houses on wheels and keep paying to fuel up the prices are not going to come down...  just think what will happen if Iraq gets sanctions imposed on them by the west....

how does a women no about clamidia wot r the symptoms?

The biggest problem with chlamydia is that in a large majority of women there are no symptoms, and only a test at a GUM clinic willlet her know she has it. In the cases where there are symptoms there will be a discharge from the vagina, and maybe some burning when peeing. But the fact that there often aren't visible symtpoms is one of the reasons why it is the largest STI- if untreated it can leave a woman infertile, so it is worth getting checked out anyway, just in case

Can you loath MARX but still agree the RELIGION IS THE OPIATE of the people?

You speak true. Look at all religion and the gains and losses. \n\nThere is war, fighting, and millions dead because of religion... But what is there to gain from it besides the personal comfort of thinking you will end up in a better place after all of it is over? \n\nReligion in itself contradicts the sayings of most major religions. In order to believe that oneself will live eternally in heaven because he follows a religion, oneself allows killing and death over religious beliefs to prosper.

First of all the distance is 20 METERS and not 20 METERS/SECOND. Also the unit of acceleration is m/sec*sec and not m/sec.\n\nNow, there are both horizontal and vertical speeds. Also the position is a vector that has both a horizontal factor and a vertical factor.\n\nTo find the horizontal speed:\nInitial speed: 0 m/sec.\nAcceleration: 5m/s^2\n=> Speed2 = Speed1 + Acc.* Time\n=> After 1 sec. speed= 0 + 1*5=5m/s\n=>After 2 secinds speed = 0 + 2*5= 10m/sec.\n\nTo find the vertical speed:\nInitial speed: 0 m/sec.\nAcceleration: -9.8m/s^2 [acceleration due to gravity]\n=> Speed2 = Speed1 + Acc.* Time\n=> After 1 sec. speed= 0 - 1*9.8=-9.8m/s\n=>After 2 seconds speed = 0 - 2*9.8= -19.6m/sec.\n\nTo find the horizontal position:\nDisplacement = (initial speed) * time + 0.5*acc.*time^2\n=> after 1 sec. displacement = 0 + 0.5*5 * 1 = 2.5 m\n=> position = 2.5 meters to the right of the initial horizontal position of the balloon\n\n=> after 2 seconds displacement = 0 + 0.5*5* 4 = 10 m\n=> position = 10 meters to the right of the initial horizontal position of the balloon\n\n\nTo find the vertical position:\nDisplacement = (initial speed) * time + 0.5*acc.*time^2\n=> after 1 sec. displacement = 0 + 0.5*-9.8 * 1 = -4.9 m\n=> position = 20[initial position] - 4.9 = 15.1 meters above the ground\n\n=> after 2 seconds displacement = 0 + 0.5*-9.8 * 4 = -19.6 m\n=> position = 20[initial position] - 19.6 = 0.4 meters above the ground

when is it normal to start having sex, like tell me at what age i should not be a virgin?

Why are you in a hurry to have sex? You have something that you can only give away once, so why not save it for someone who has also thought enough of themselves to save their first time for you? There is NOTHING wrong with being a virgin...ever! Waiting for that special someone it the ultimate sacrifice. Think of how great a wedding present you could both give each other. One that could never be bought with any amount of money. You would also not have to wonder how many partners you are now sharing with the one you love. I'm sure you'll get many suggestions about appropriate ages. But you are putting your future into the hands of strangers, many of whom don't have your best interests at heart. Many will tell you to follow your heart & do whatever feels right. But feelings come and go. What you have can only be given once, then it's gone. Once you give it away, something seems to happen, deep inside your soul. It doesn't seem as important any more. You end up giving it up to your feelings, using it to get what you want. That's not what you were made for. Yes, I know I sound old fashioned. But, I was once where you are, even though I'm a gal. I wish that I had never made that first decision to give away what was supposed to be saved for the one I would eventually give my heart to. Please consider what you're doing before committing yourself to giving this special gift away. Be careful with your heart. <*)))><


is there a pardon serive in the U.S.A ?? trying to erase a criminal record !!!?

Yes, as far as I know, the President of the United States is the only person who can erase a criminal conviction from your federal record.  But the Presidential Pardon is very hard to secure.\n\nState Governors may (not certain) also have that ability, for a state crime.  But only those who hold a top job in the Executive Branch can do this.


Following the law is a sorry replacement for ethics...?

Ethics and the law have everything and nothing to do with one another. Should one act "ethically"? Yes, they should, regardless of the law. Unfortunately, there are many who do not, and many who do not even know what ethics are. Laws were put into place to ensure that people act ethically, and said laws attempt to define specific parameters with regard to what is, and what is not ethical. Therein lies the rub. Some actions can be unethical, yet cannot be defined within the specific parameters of "the law". \nEnter the defense lawyer. What makes a defense lawyer good? A good defense lawyer is able to find the loopholes of the law, and defend an alleged criminal,s actions. The argument of such lawyers, is that argument which beckons the jury to understand that an individual cannot be penalized for acting unethically if he/she has not done anything "against the law".\nEnter the plaintiff's lawyer. If someone is the victim of another's actions, and that person's actions cannot be defined as "illegal", then there are still methods to make sure that the offender pays for his/her actions.\nIt's quite sad that people cannot act ethically for the sake of doing so. For whatever reason, they choose to ignore ethics and/or the law, and act in ways that inflict damage on others. The reason to act ethically besides the consequences of breaking the law is to avoid victimizing another, plain and simple. One's decision to avoid victimizing another should be one's desire to have a clear conscience.


The government offers a free yearly credit report.  Where can I find this site?

The link below will take you to the site. The government does not have a site for credit reports, but they did enact a law stating that each individual should have reasonable access to his or her credit report. Each of the big 3 Credit Agencies are listed here. TransUnion, Equifax and Experian are required to give you a copy of your credit report annualy. I suggest you use one service every 4 months to keep track of how your credit report is being updated.

I made a prediction that if Florida wins, it would be a blowout and if UCLA wins, it'd be close.  My predition was correct but I picked the wrong team.  Florida is a very versatile, they've many players who can do numerous things on the court.  UCLA couldn't make a shot and their mini comeback was a little too late.  Florida and UCLA will be dangerous next year.  Don't be surprise if you see at least one of those teams back in the final four.  What did you think?

Where was alexander the great's mother, when she got  pains and  he was born?

Pella, Macedonia, in late July, 356 BCE (not that I was there, of course!) on the same day on which the famous Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed by fire. His father, Philip II of Macedon, was a brilliant ruler and strategist. His mother was Olympias, princess of Epirus, daughter of King Neoptolemus. Olympias was initiated into the cults of Dionysus and Orpheus. She was often jealous, vindictive and very protective of Alexander.\n\nhttp://www.1stmuse.com/frames/\n\nI'm not sure "where" his mother was when she gave birth, in Pellas, but I have also heard he was prematurely born (how far along she was, I don't know that either). Was she at the temple??


To begin with we need to look at the question and the language used to ask for answers. First is "logic". A simple definition is provided by Wikipedia which states:\n\n"Logic, from Classical Greek λόγος (logos), originally meaning the word, or what is spoken, (but coming to mean thought or reason) is most often said to be the study of criteria for the evaluation of arguments, although the exact definition of logic is a matter of controversy among philosophers. However the subject is grounded, the task of the logician is the same: to advance an account of valid and fallacious inference to allow one to distinguish good from bad arguments.\n\nTraditionally, logic is studied as a branch of philosophy. Since the mid-nineteenth century logic has been commonly studied in mathematics, and, even more recently, in computer science. As a formal science, logic investigates and classifies the structure of statements and arguments, both through the study of formal systems of inference and through the study of arguments in natural language. The scope of logic can therefore be very large, ranging from core topics such as the study of fallacies and paradoxes, to specialist analyses of reasoning such as probably correct reasoning and arguments involving causality."\n\nSecond, we must look at the word "truth". It is important to note that the word is not capitalized so we can avoid metaphysical theory or definitions based on cultist beliefs, such as christianity or other god-dependent or deity dependent definitions. The Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy is quoted as proposing that truth is:\n\nA preliminary issue, although somewhat subsidiary, is to decide what sorts of things can be true. Is truth a property of sentences (which are linguistic entities in some language or other), or is truth a property of propositions (nonlinguistic, abstract and timeless entities)? The principal issue is: What is truth? It is the problem of being clear about what you are saying when you say some claim or other is true. The most important theories of truth are the Correspondence Theory, the Semantic Theory, the Deflationary Theory, the Coherence Theory, and the Pragmatic Theory. Whichever theory of truth is advanced to settle the principal issue, there are a number of additional issues to be addressed: \n     1. Can claims about the future be true now? \n     2. Can there be some algorithm for finding truth –        some recipe or procedure for deciding, for any claim in the system of, say, arithmetic, whether the claim is true? \n     3. Can the predicate "is true" be completely defined in other terms so that it can be eliminated, without loss of meaning, from any context in which it occurs? \n     4. To what extent do theories of truth avoid paradox? \n     5. Is the goal of scientific research to achieve truth? \n\nLogic is one form of epistemological approach to ascertaining knowledge. It is the "how we know what we know and the limitations of that knowledge". Logic is a tool for explanation of the ideas, observations, and experiences. It could also be said that logic is sometimes used poorly to acertain truth. Most clearly in areas of theology. Logical fallacies and faulty logic come most readily to mind. But that is another question for another time.

What must be present for miranda rights to apply?

Even as a lawyer, I'm not exactly sure what answer you're looking for.  However...\n1) Custody.  Miranda is intended to protect from coercion.  Coercion as defined by the USSC is a danger primarily when people are in custody.  Ergo, no custody = no miranda.  Arrest always is equivalent to custody, that's easy.  But there are a lot of acses about the 'gray area' (e.g. people called i8n for questioning but not arrested; etc.)\n\n2) Questioning.  Miranda is an exclusionary doctrine.  You can only exclude things if you have questioned the suspect or attempted to elicit answers by other means.  A pre-miranda confession is admissible; so is a spontaneous post-miranda confession, in most cases.

Why shouldn't Turkey join the UN? What are the disadvantages?

No, Turkey should not join EU.\n\nTurks are Muslims in majority but they are not Arabic. It has a praiseful past regarding religious freedom which was even taken as a model in the past by western countries.  Turkey can be considered as an Islamic country however today the system is sometimes more harsh to Muslims than non-Muslims due to the fear of the trend of extremist Islam. It is trying to success it again nowadays.\n\nTurks are originally from Central Asia but they left there very long time ago and influenced by other cultures for a very long period that is enough to become non-Asian. Turkey covers a geographical area that is neither considered as Asian or European even in the past. It was named as Anatolia and Minor Asia.\n\nIt is culturally and geographically Mediterranean, Middle East, Asian and European but none of it alone. It should not united in full with one of them. It should stay as it is and should develop itself as it is. If it joins EU, it will lose more than it gains.


Why is it that most ugly people have bad personalities and tempers??

In my experience, people with bad personalities and tempers, people who are b**chy and mean and hateful, after a while their faces take on a permanent sneer and their bodies start moving in an unattractive way.  In other words, if you act ugly, you become ugly.\n Conversly, I know many people who aren't fashion-model gorgeous, but who have great attitudes that improve their appearances by leaps and bounds.

How do I send a fax through dsl internet service?

It gets sent through the phone line.\nEven if you have DSL hooked up you need to ALSO plug in the phone line to your comoputer.\nGet a specila little phone jack that will allow you to have the DSL modem hooked up AND will allow a line to be run from the phone jack directly to the phone jack on the back of the computer.\nIt will turn your wall phone jack into a double outlet with two palces to connect, one to the modem and one to the back of the computer.\nI have just learned about this myself.\nI have never been able to send a fax since I have always had DSL.\nI haven't tried it yet still since I only need to send one fax a year.\nMy computer, an HP, came with a fax program. I have not tried it out yet, but just learned that you need to  have the computer hooked directly to the phone jack on the wall for this.\nIt may be that the computer needs to use it's internal modem and use dial-up to send a fax. I think this is the case. Your DSL service has dial up numbers to use for this.

But of course on the fly you can just turn off the blocker, reload that webpage, and open the pop-up you need, turning the blocker back on when you're done.\n\nI use Mozilla Firefox for my default browser, and I'm very pleased with the way it handles pop-ups.

The most likely place to start are the drivers. If you are using the out of\nbox drivers for the printer, check the Lexmark site for the latest XP\ncompatible drivers for the unit, remove the old drivers and install these\nand see if that resolves it.\n\nNext possibility would be the unit's fax modem. You likely have a fax modem\ninstalled on your computer, it's possible the Lexmark unit conflicts, you\nmight try removing the PC's modem and see if that resolves the issue. If\nyes, you need to check the PC modems manual or manufacturer's website to see\nif there's an option to turn off that modems fax function, then reinstall\nand see if it still causes a problem.\n\nBeyond that, you can check the Event Viewer for errors corresponding to when\nthis happens. Open Control Panel, open Administrative Tools, open Event\nViewer, look for corresponding errors, double click the error, the\ninformation contained within may give a hint as to the source of the issue.

why should there be a strong central government?

There shouldn't be. The Central Government should be respopnsible for ensuring your safety, health and education. Everything else is more effectively dealt with at a local and/or state level.\n\nA strong central government is meant to deal with large issues. Unfortunately, most central governments now micr-manage the minutae of your day-to-day life. That isn't how the founders of democracy envisioned it. Fortunately, democracy allows for the evolution of government. It will mutate to fit our needs.\n\nAs Winston Churchill said, "Democracy is the worst form of government...except all the others that have been tried from time to time."

Is a business liable if they don't take the correct tax out during the year?

Unfortunately the company is not liable. You are the one who signed the W-4 form. It is the individual who must determine what is to be withheld for Federal tax purposes.

How do I get over a really bad (diarrhea) experience?

Just learn to laugh at yourself. Don't think about it as a embarrassing moment, think of it as an experience. In third grade the teacher was talking. I had to go. I ask and she said no. The stain was there for a long time. The chair began to flood........
