Can you tell if some hacker is using your pc ,without you knowing about it.?

You may have software that is set to automatically check for and download updates. Then again, you may have been hacked. Try running anti-virus and anti-spyware scans from several different manufacturers to see if something is there that shouldn't be.


I live in new orleans.. And trust me.. at least one of the rapes were true.. \nI dont know the total deaths in the situation, but an easy google search can clear that answer.\nAs far as racism.\nI honestly think that the slow reactions of the country was not due to racism.\nThink about it.\nThe 9th ward, which is primarily African-American was totally flooded.. OK.. that seems maybe like racism.\nBut.. Lakeview, a higher class residency with Black and white people was totally flooded too.\nOver 11 Feet in some places!\n\nSo saying that they didnt do things because they want to black people out is crazy.\n\nDidnt "Willie" (Ray) Nagin say it was a Chocolate City..\nHAHAH\nlol


how long does it genereally take to lern C++,Java and Oracle.?

You may gain some knowledge of C++ in 21 days: that is, its syntax, generals of object orientation, templates and even maybe get a glimpse of the Standard Template Library. But then you have to deal with libraries that help you acheive usefull and high-level things. \nThat can take months.


Has anyone here seen a ghost? I had a weird occurance and a hard time believing w/ a strong science background

Here's the scientific explanation for ghosts: very low frequency noises (that would normally be inaudible) have been shown to cause uneasiness. Moaning sounds (low frequency and audible) are often associated with ghosts, and are often caused by draughts, which make a room cold, which is another sign of "haunting".\n\nWe also have a survival instinct to see patterns everywhere. This is especially true for faces and people. Our mind also fills in details that our eyes aren't actually seeing - the basic principle behind optical illusions. So, you can see very little, and the mind will decide it's "supposed" to be a person or a face, and "correct" anything telling you it isn't.

I currently have internet thru cable,if i return the modem , will i still be able to get internet service ?

With most cable ISP's the modem is an optional monthly rental that can be replaced with your own. They don't encourage this because A. They can't charge you rent and B. If you have a problem with your modem, they can't help you. I would call and discuss your options with this ISP.


Never heard of it in CA...sure you have the right spelling?


Please explain how quantum entanglement can occur without violating the General Theory of Relativity?

sure.  the thing about entangled states is that while the state may collapse "instantaneously", that doesn't mean that information is necessarily transmitted.\n\nconsider 2 atoms in an entangled state.  alice takes one, and bob takes the other and gets on a rocket ship and flies to pluto.  when he gets there, he radios back to earth "ok, alice, i'm here!" and waits the 7 hours or whatever it takes for a response to come back at the speed of light.\n\nso once alice and bob get all settled, alice performs a measurement on her part of the entangled pair.  she gets |0> (in qubit notation) or whatever the state is, with a certain probability - say, 50%.  since alice and bob have agreed on a pre-determined time to do this, 10 minutes later bob measures his state.  \n\nnow, because the quantum system collapsed from a mixed state to an eigenstate when alice did the measurement, that means bob's state instantly collapsed too.  but bob has no *a priori* knowledge of what alice measured!  alice's measurement came with some certain statistical probability, and when bob does his measurement, he will get a result with the same probability, since his mixed state collapsed too.  so bob measures a |1> because alice already measured a zero, but he has no way of knowing what outcome to expect before the measurement.  so to bob, the result is a random outcome as well.\n\nthe point is that alice cannot *control* the outcome of her experiment - all she can do is measure it because of the random nature of quantum mechanical systems.  \n\nif alice were to perform her measurement, and then radio ahead to bob and say "hey bob, i got |0>" then bob could be certain that when he measures his state, he gets |1>.  but now information has not traveled any faster than the speed of light, for this is "classical" information traveling by radio.\n\nso, anyway, there you go.  this is a rather simplified and not very clear explanation.  this seeming paradox is called the "EPR paradox" after einstein, podolsky and rosen who considered its ramifications.  you can read more about it here:\nhttp://www.physlink.com/Education/AskExperts/ae634.cfm\nhttp://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/physics/Quantum/bells_inequality.html\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPR_paradox

What Cold and Allergy medicine can a person with high blodd pressure take?

There are many medications that a person with blood pressure problems can take. The one product you should avoid is products with containing Sudafed (psuediphedrine hcl) as this will have a tendency to raise blood pressure. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about cordicin HBP. If you can there is also meds like Claratin and benadryl(diphenhydramine).

How many out there knows that Yahoo sold us out to the Government?

Yahoo didn't sell us out to the government.  A court order is a court order.  Yahoo can only comply to give out the search engine information that they requested. But don't forget, this is happening on all sites and you just need to be cautious on what you search for and how you do it, that's all. \n\nYahoo has a very strict privacy policy and will uphold this when it comes to our personal information.  Department of Justice subpeona was for search engine info only, and that's all they get.


How do I protect my home wireless network from being used by neighbors?

Use WPA instead of WEP if your router is older and doesn't have wpa then use WEP.  Secondly, of course change the password on the router itself.  Next, change the default ssid and change it so that the ssid is not broadcast.  Finally, set it up so that only certain MAC address are able to access the network (yourself included :)  ).  You really should do all these things to make your home network secure, you really shouldn't pick and choose.

As a new investor, is it wise to invest in international funds?

Yes, as one component in a well balanced portfolio.


Will Latin American funds prove to be good investments for 2006?  Off to a good start so far!?

Yes, especially in Brazil. But be aware that the risk of international investing is higher than investing in US equities, although the reward can be higher. There are several options- mutual funds, individual securities (riskier), and several ETF's, such as ILF or EWZ.


It's taxable income.  How much you pay in taxes depends on your tax bracket (the percentage of tax you pay on your last dollar earned).\n\nIf that's all you made that year, the standard deduction and personal exemption would offset it, and there would be no federal taxes.  If you have other earnings though, there's no way to tell how much you'd play in tax without knowing your actual numbers.


You suffer from the same thing I do: Tinnitius.\n\nHere is the bad news, it is normally permanent.  And it has many causes.  They range from nerve damage, being exposes to loud noises, ear infections, even traffic accidents (that is how I got mine).\n\nThere are some medications that can reduce the effects, but not totally eliminate it.\n\nIf you have not already done so, check with a doctor that specializes in ENT (Ear Nose Throat).  They should be able to pinpoint the cause of your tinnitus, and give you some possible solutions.

is thers a site that can help me with my son math homework?


Why does my wireless connection keeps disconnecting?

I've seen this happen in a couple of different scenarios: a) your machine is located in an area which has a low/weak connection; b) your ISP is having issues with your connectivity; or c) you could have another wireless connection in the area to which your machine is attempting to connect.\n\nFor (a), usually getting some wireless "rabbit ears" or antennae can help boost the signal to more remote computers located on the wireless network; for (b), there is little that you can do if your ISP is having a network outage or problems supplying service; for scenario (c), you can usually detect this by going into your wireless settings and looking at the advanced settings.  Have it detect all wireless connections and make sure that yours is at the top of the list and is the preferred connection, \n\nI had a neighbor install an unsecure wireless router not too long ago, which my Windows picked up and switched to off and on because Windows chose to make it the first choice.  Turns out that it was a flaky connection and that it was very slow and kept fading in and out, causing the computer to keep retrying to get a new IP address.

Besides English, which language you think is most useful to speak?

Chinese.  1 billion+ people know how to speak it.  Many koreans and japanese, instead of taking English as their second language, are now taking Chinese.  China's economy is booming, and so currently is a great place for business.\n\nbut then again Wikipedia says:\n"Some assert that, after English, Spanish can now be considered the second most important language in the world (probably replacing even French), due to its increased usage in the United States, the high birth rate in most of the countries where it is official, the growing economies of the Spanish-speaking world, its influence on the global music market, and simply due to the broad number of areas on the Earth's surface that the language is spoken in."\n\nMe...I speak Chinese at home, English at school, and am taking AP Spanish right now.  =)

was the apollo mission to the moon fact or hoax ?

FACT FACT FACT.\n\nMy physics professor gave the unbeatable argument on this one.  If the USA had lied, the USSR WOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING.  The USSR was very technologically advanced, and it would have taken very little effort on their part to look up and see if there really was a metal box hurling toward the moon sending high-amplitude radio transmissions back to Houston.  If this hadn't been the case, the USSR would have called our bluff, I guarantee you.\n\nIf they didn't doubt the moon landing, why the hell should we?  Defrauding the American people might have been a comparably easy task, but there's no way they could have fooled the USSR.  The USSR did, after all, have the technology to beat us in the first two stages of the space race (the first satelite and the first human in space).

what is ping attack.how can i protect from cloaking?

Ping is an Internet function where you send a message to an IP address that basically says: "Are you there?" and the computer will respond.  If you do this many times in rapid succession, the Internet connection will become so clogged with trying to make so many responses to you, that the communication basically breaks down.  Because this is possible, many sites protect themselves from ping.  I don't know what "cloaking" is, so I don't know how to answer that part of the question.

I am TERRIFIED of going to the dentist....?

There is a very strong seditive called Halcion that your dentist will precribe for you to take one hour before a procedure, and they will also give you nitrus oxide if they have that in their dental office during the procedure (if you even need it along with the Halcion,) Halcion  has a amnesiac effect, where you won't even remember getting any work done, you have to have someone drive you to and from the appointment, trust me, if you take this pill, you won't care where you are going, at leaste that is what i have seen, my spouse also had to take this before he had some extractions done, he appeared to be in la la land with a big smile on his face, hope this will help.

explain potential difference in physics?

Consider a system of charges. The charges of the system exert electric forces on each other.If the position of one or more charge is changed, work may be done by these electric forces.We define change in electric potential energy of the system as negative of the work done by the electric forces as configuration of the system changes. Potential energy of the charge particle in an electric field depends on the magnitude of the charge.However, potential energy per unit charge has a unique value at any point in an electric field.For eg. We place a positive charge x Coulomb at a point in an electric field where particle has an electric potential energy of y Joule. Then potential energy per unit charge is =x/y J/C(Using unitary method)\nIf we replace our charge by another charge of magnitude 2x Coulomb.We would find that the second charge has a potential energy of 2y Joule.Potential energy per unit charge would be same.Potential energy per unit charge is independent of the charge we are using.\nThe potential energy per unit charge at a single point in an electric field is called the Electric Potential.Now the difference between the Electric Potential between two points is called Potential Difference between those two points.\nPotential difference is directly proportional to current.(Ohm’s Law)\n\nFor further queries e-mail me:  trust_amplifier@yahoo.com

How would would you define someone who is truly a, "man after God's own heart?"?

He loves God with his whole heart, soul, mind & strength. He loves, reads & meditates on God's Word/the Torah/Scripture day & night. He seeks to do God's will. He has a circumcised heart with God's Law written on it.\n\nHe knows God is One; Unity. He knows that God is perfect & unchanging, His Law is perfect & unchanging, His Scripture (OT & NT) is unified, congruent and unchanging.\n\nHe follows in the straight & narrow path of the Torah-observant Suffering Messiah.\n\nHe looks forward with anticipation to the return of the Victorious Messiah.\n\nAnd he loves his neighbor (everybody) at least as well as he loves himself.

While I think in the past scientific thought was that the eyebrows shaded the eyes and protected them from sweat, what I see is that they are critical for non-verbal communication.\n\nIn a hunter-gatherer society, men hunting could communicate across distances silently with head and facial gestures.

where abnormalities are handled in jaundice payhway?

Jaundice is a medical manifestation of too much bile (Bilirubin) in the blood, and can be caused by many factors affecting the liver.

By looking at the coefficients in a balanced equation.


Start eating fruits such as pineapple, grape, pappaya, watermelon, mango, kiwi, strawberry etc as much as you want. Two hours later, eat a large  salad with everything except meat, fish, or egg. Two hours after (at least) eat the dinner with your favarite meat,fish, etc. Do not go for seconds. Drink a glass of water just before eating the dinner, this will help you not to want to go for seconds, and using a small plate also will help. Drink 7 glasses of water all through out the day. One more thing do not eat anything three hours before going to sleep only water if the urge comes up.\n\nKeep doing this for a week, you will loose weight in a healthy way, and this will help you keep it off as well because you are eating everything you want to eat and you do not have the feeling of hunger or thirst. \nThe fruits in the morning will help you to curb your need for eating all the time feeling for the rest of the day because it is natural sugar\nMake sure you do not eat for two hours after each meal and when you feel like eating something grab a glass of water. Replace your sugar drinks with water and after dinner you can have a glass of wine or beer as well.\n\n\nI tried every diet in the world and nothing worked and at 53 it worked and I am at 57 healthy and very energetic.

one idea would be to get set up with direct deposit with your bank.  have a small amount that you chose to be automatically taken out of your paycheck and put into a savings account.  then have the rest of your paycheck put into your checking account.  that might help you, because if you don't ever see it in your paycheck you will forget about it and you won't even miss it.  that is a good way to build up your savings, even if it is just a little at a time.

As a nurse, you're on the front lines. Assessing patients, you could be the first health care professional to recognize that a patient has signs and symptoms of SARS. In SARS with moderate respiratory illness, you'll note a fever higher than 100.4° F (38° C) and one or more of the following symptoms: cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or hypoxia.\n\nIn SARS with severe symptoms of respiratory illness, you'll find a temperature greater than 100.4° F, one or more of the previously mentioned clinical signs and symptoms, and a chest X-ray that reveals pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The chest X-ray may be normal at first, but changes may appear 3 or 4 days following infection, particularly in the lung bases.\n\nIf your patient has some or all of these suspicious signs and symptoms, take a detailed medical and travel history to determine his risk of exposure to SARS. Suspect SARS if he reports either of the following circumstances within 10 days of symptom onset:\n\n* travel to an area with a known or suspected SARS outbreak. Just passing through the airport counts. The CDC Web site (httpV/www.cdc.gov/ ncidod/sars/casedefinition.htm) can tell you which areas qualify\n\n* close contact with someone known or suspected to have SARS.\n\nIf you work in a primary care provider's office and suspect that a patient has SARS, contact the hospital before sending the patient there, so that hospital staff can make arrangements to prevent transmission of SARS to others in the facility.\n\nIf you suspect SARS...\n\nImmediately have your patient put on a surgical face mask and make arrangements to isolate him, ideally in a negative-pressure isolation room. Protect yourself by donning an N95 disposable paniculate respirator or surgical mask, gown, gloves, and eye protection and observing meticulous hand hygiene.\n\nThe World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that any health care provider caring for a patient with a suspected case of SARS notify local public health authorities as soon as possible, so the patient's close contacts can be tracked and monitored. (Health Canada recommends similar management strategies.)\n\nDiagnostic tests for SARS\n\nThe SARS virus may be detected in a patient's nasopharyngeal or oropharyngeal secretions, blood serum, or stool. The CDC, as well as many state public health labs, can process specimens. Three types of diagnostic tests are used for SARS:\n\n* a reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction test to detect RNA of SARS-CoV Two tests on two different specimens must be positive to confirm SARS.\n\n* serum tests to detect antibodies IgM (gamma M immunoglobulin) and IgG (gamma G immunoglobulin). The test result is negative if no SARS-CoV antibodies are found in serum obtained more than 28 days after symptom onset.\n\n* a viral cell culture test to detect SARS-CoV\n\nIn September 2003, a 15-minute, palm-sized SARS detection kit was developed by Genelabs Diagnostics and the Institute of Molecular and Cell Biology, both of Singapore. This test generates accurate results with just a drop of serum, plasma, or blood and is designed to be used by people without special training in locations (such as airports) where lab facilities aren't available. The test is expected to be available to hospitals soon.\n\nOther helpful tests\n\nAlong with baseline vital signs, chest X-rays, and the diagnostic tests listed above, tests that may help confirm or rule out SARS include a complete blood cell count, arterial blood gas analysis and pulse oximetry values, clotting profile, respiratory viral panel for influenza A and B and respiratory syncytial viruses, metabolic profile, examination of bronchoalveolar lavage from the lower respiratory tract, C-reactive protein test, and Legionella and pneumococcal urinary antigen testing.\n\nPatients with SARS may have lymphopenia and mild thrombocytopenia. Activated partial thromboplastin time is prolonged, but prothromb


How to prepare for the civil service examinations?Please give me two or three hints.?

A candidate who appears for a civil service exam must have a very good general knowledge of national and international current affairs. There will be written test (priliminary and mains) and interview. there is different branches to select for a successful candidate (eg. IAS, IPS, IFS etc). A lot of books and magazines are available in the market which will be helpful for preperation of civil service examinations (eg. Competition success reveiw). One more point is that there is an age limit for civil service examinations.


what is the calculation to determine market share of a company. (or market price)?

market share is how much a company takes in per dollar spent on a specific industry.  So, if Dunkin Donut's market share is 77% of the market, that means that out of every dollar spent on coffee, 77 cents belongs to Dunkin Donuts.


which desktop enviromrt should i use gnome or kde or xfce?

If you are confused about choosing which is better then don't get confused it depends totally on your needs...\n\nYour need for speed:\n\nOne of the big differences between the GUI is the relative workload they put on your system. The more a GUI has goodies, features and eye candies, the more it will need power to run properly and the slower it will be.\nKDE and Gnome are two of the most developed, and heavy, GUI available for Linux. Thus, if speed is of prime importance for you (for example, you want the maximum of power to run a task or you have a slow PC), you may be better to use a lightweight GUI, like IceWM, Fluxbox or Afterstep. In other word, the lighter your GUI is, the faster your overall system will be...\n\nWhich applications are you using?\n\nThe fact is that some applications just run better in one GUI than others.\nKDE and Gnome are based on a different set of programming libraries and tools (named GTK for Gnome and Qt for KDE). Thus, it's easy to understand that applications designed and based on the same GTK libraries than Gnome will work better under Gnome than under KDE. And the reverse will be true for applications based on  Qt.\nSo, it may be better to use the GUI that works best with your applications. If don't know the libraries used by your applications, just try them with different GUI and see if it makes any significant difference. For some applications it will, for others it won't. Thus, your favourite applications may help you determine which GUI you should use.\n\nConviviality and ease of use:\nThis point is more a personal choice, some peoples may find that KDE is convivial and easy to use, but others will be overwhelm with the hundreds of features and options... The choice is up to you, each GUI is, more or less, easy to use, you just have to make the best choice for you...\nHowever, if you're familiar with Windows, you may feel more at ease with Gnome or KDE, which are similar, than with a less classic GUI (like Enlightenment for example).\n\nThe default GUI of your distribution:\nAll distribution give preferential support and integration to one or several GUI. If you have Mandrake, both KDE and Gnome are equally supported. But Red Hat never hides their preference for Gnome, and SuSe for KDE...\nAll other things being equal, it may be a good idea to use your distribution's favourite GUI. It will be less hassle since it's the default installation and configuration. Integration and the "polish" will also be better, default settings being usually just fine. It's also easier to get support, since most peoples using this distribution will use the default GUI.\n\nYour need for eye candies:\nAll the GUI have a different look, some are gorgeous with lot of effects, font anti-aliasing, nice icons, and all kind of goodies, others look pale and simple in comparison. The choice between these two extremes is only a matter of personal preferences. Some will prefer a GUI with lot of eye candies, others just want a clean desktop on a simple background. None is better than the other, it's up to you to make your choice...\n\nFinal words:\n\nWith these points in mind, you should now be more able to choose a GUI. However, remember that choosing a GUI doesn't mean that you have to stick with it for the rest of your life! Nothing prevents you to install many GUI on your system. Then you choose the one you want when you log in. You may choose the GUI that's the most appropriate for the task...

Should the Lions fire Matt Millen?  Do you think it was a good move to fire Mooch?

Yes they should fire Matt Millen. In the time he has been there, there have been 3 coaches and they still have the worst record for that time period. Also, his draft picks haven't been doing squat (look at Harrington).\n\nWas it a good move to fire Mooch? He never really seemed to be a good fit with the Lions to me, so maybe it was. But that doesn't mean he's not a good coach. He'll be coaching next year, most likely for a college team.

No need to infect the mind with fantasy. ? This from a person reading the bible?

Notice that the only thing Christians can point to in order to defend the Bible is....the Bible! \nIt is even more ridiculous to claim it is the word of God when it was manipulated by men in order to create a unifying religion - it was created as a politcal mechanism. (The Canonized Bible).

i like this guy who is my friend but he just see me as a friend.?

I would get a mutual friend to ask around a bit discreetly. Just get them to say something like, "hey have you ever thought about being more than just friends with so and so" and see what he says. Then based off of that you will know how to act around them. Friendships to relationships are always a very hard transition.


Why evolution allow homosexuals to exist if they are not going to transmit their genes to the next generation?

Biological evolution has nothing to do with it.  Social evolution might.\nHumans seem to be the only species that has some members which are exclusively same sex orientated.  Once classified as a disease, now the causation is unknown.  Conscious choice may have little to do with sexual behavior, and how the programming of the unconscious mind happens is not clearly understood.\nIf the environment has anything to do with this, then it is probably related to population density.\nNo-one knows for sure.  Almost everyone has some pet theory that they want to push as scientific fact.

Do you mean Metaphor??\n\nIn language, a metaphor (from the Greek: metapherin) is a rhetorical trope defined as a direct comparison between two seemingly unrelated subjects. In a metaphor, a first object is described as being a second object. Through this description it is implied that the first object has some of the qualities of the second. In this way, the first object can be economically described because implicit and explicit attributes from the second object can be used to fill in the description of the first. This is exploited in literature and especially in poetry, where with few words, emotions and associations from one context can powerfully be associated with another, different subject.\n\nMetaphor is a subset of analogy and is closely related to other similar concepts such as comparison, simile, allegory and parable. The exact classification of the type of analogy can be unclear when the subjects, the points of comparison or the manner of comparison are omitted.\n\nIn cognitive linguistics, metaphor is often seen as a basic cognitive function; that humans cannot help but see common traits in subjects which are factually distinct and indeed such behavior may be required for learning and comprehension. This is normally termed a conceptual metaphor. This trait is exploited in psychotherapy through a technique commonly termed therapeutic metaphor where a story unrelated to the patient is used to teach lessons about the patient's situation. The use of the word metaphor in these areas falls outside the typical literary definition of metaphor, as given above, although these types of comparison definitely fall within the greater scope of analogy.

Why did the Oakland A's waste a ton of money on has-beens and almost-was's?

Beane's a calculated risk-taker.  Izzy didn't cost the A's much (the Mets had pretty much given up on him) and he became a heck of a closer.  I think the A's like to get veteran players who can help out in the clubhouse with the younger guys they have to have on their roster (b/c of their small payroll).  Now....Milton Bradley obviously doesn't fit that bill, but past folks like Hatterfield, Eric Karros, Reggie Sanders, etc. certainly do fit the mold.

Can I fill the application for fafsa with last years tax return information because I have not yet file tax re

Yes. Many schools's FAFSA deadlines are early in the year (February of March), before many people have done their taxes.  It is common practice for schools to have students estimate their income/asset information using the prior year's tax returns and/or year-end paystubs. Keep in mind, however, that you should correct these numbers (online at www.fafsa.ed.gov) once you DO file your taxes (particularly if the numbers are very different).  \n\nStay honest, though! The government often selects FAFSA filers for review in a process called "Verification."  In this process, your school can request copies of your current tax returns; they will then compare your tax information with your FAFSA data.  If the numbers on your FAFSA don't match up, they have the right to change ("correct") them in their capacity as Financial Aid Administrators.\n\nGood luck!

left arm numb, cold, and left side of face numb?

bells palsy...no!!! that involves your face.  Heart?? highly unlikely, an EKG WILL diagnose a cardiac event in the making and WILL find past cardiac events.  Insist that your doctor do a doppler study on your cartoid arteries in your neck to check for blockages, the lack of blood flow to the brain will cause seizures and the fatigue you feel is call being postictal.  if you are still skeptical of the EKG, have a 12 lead EKG done.  my grandfather had similar problems and the doppler study found blockages, they were fixed and he is now FINE.


Paintball players, i am looking to buy an automag rt and want to know if it needs an electric hopper?

Yes.  If you want to get the most out of your RT, you're going to need a powered feed hopper to be able to up keep up with the feed demands of the high fire rates of the RT.  I would also recommend that you look into getting a "Warp Feed" for it as well.

What an interesting Question!\n\nMine is:\n\nRed Planetary Dragon\nSunday, Rhythmic 8, Kin: 101


I have a squirrel in my wall of my house...how do I get rid of it??!!?

The best idea is to find the hole it used to get in, then you can install a one-way trap door (most pest-control places can do this) to get rid of them.  You will have to make sure all possible entrances are taken care of, squirrels are very crafty and persistent.  Seal up all the holes.\n\nIf you can't do this, there is still one alternative.  Most pest-control stores will also sell little poison food pellets.  Make sure you put them in the wall / attic and that no pets have access to those areas.  It is regrettable, but to protect your house and property (and to be able to sleep nights without that scratching) you have to do it.\n\nAs a longer-term alternative.  Owning an outdoor cat seems to drive them away fairly well.\n\nGood luck.

what is the equivalent of inch , pound , lbs , foot in centimeters , kilos  and grams ?

1 inch ~ 2.54 cm\n1 ft ~ 30.48 cm\n\ntechnically, a pound (lb) and grams/kilograms do not measure the same thing. a pound is a measure of weight (a force) while a gram is a measure of mass.  At sea level on earth, where gravity is about 9.81 m/s^2, a mass of 1 kg would approximately have 2.2 lb of weight.  But for basic science classes, this is assumed to be interchangeable

What do you think- God is male or female?

What makes anything male of female? It is their physical characteristics. Since Gd is purely spiritual, Gd cannot be either male or female!\n\nNow, there are certainly characteristics that we stereotypically assign to being either male or female. For example, we call compassionate a feminine characteristic, while we call powerful a male characteristic. But there are powerful females, and compassionate males. Gd certainly has any and all of these characteristics that we normally stereotypically assign to being male or female, but Gd, being purely spiritual, is actually neither.

i wonder why there are no answers to this question. maybe its difficult to find a direct answer online. i will tell you whatever i have learnt and understood through my information security classes so far.\n\nbasically data is decrypted over the internet depending on the technology used.\n\nData is transported over the network in packets.\n\nSome data are completely plaintext; e.g. ftp. This means that if you are on a wireless, and somebody is running a packet sniffer; he can look at your data by sniffing the packets.\n\nSome data are encrypted. There are many technologies - Private key encryption, Public key, Digital Signatures, SSL etc which can provide security at different layers of the network.\n\nNow todays network can be divided into 5 major layers - Application, Transport, Network, Data and Physical. keys and signatures help in encrypting data in Application layer. while technologies like IPSec, SSL and VPN  encrypt data over the transport and network layer. \n\nBasically in key and signature systems you need a corresponding key to decrypt the data. \n\nIn encryption at transport layer and network layer, there is no need of key as technologies like IPSec establish a secure tunnel between the host and destination computer, thus securing the data.\n\nInformation Security is a vast and nice topic.

Mary Quant (born February 11,1934) is an English fashion designer, one of the many designers who took credit for inventing the miniskirt and hot pants.\n\nBorn in Kent, Quant studied illustration at Goldsmith's College before taking a job with a couture milliner. In October 1955, she teamed up with her husband Alexander Plunkett Greene, and an accountant Archie McNair, to open a clothes shop on the Kings Road in London called Bazaar.


should i get my associates degree before i get my bachelors degree?

An Associate's (of Arts or Science) is not necessary to get a Bachelors degree.\n\nLet me explain it this way...\nStudent "A" just graduated high school and is admitted as a student at a 4-year university.  This university does not give Associate degrees, but only Bachelors.  So, "A" takes his/her GEs and major courses and graduates with a B.A. or B.S.\n\nStudent "B" just graduated high school, and gets admitted to a Community College.  The community college is a two-year institution which in completion of their program gets you an A.A. or A.S. and then "B" transfers his/her GE credits to a 4-year university as a Junior, and completes his/her degree in two more years to get a B.A. or B.S.\n\nNow, what you need to understand is that getting an Associate's. is not necessary to get a Bachelor's.  However, if you get an Associate's there will be some classes that DO NOT qualify as a transferrable GE units to a four-year university.  Say you graduate with an A.A. with 60 units, however 56 can only be transferred by the university's agreement with the Community College.\n\nBasically, if your goal is a Bachelor's, then consider an Associate's as a little gift from the community college before you leave for the university.  Sure, you need to take an extra few classes for it, but it's just a nice gift.

a steel gasoline tank is often connected by a magnesium wire. What is the use of the magnesium metal?

What's with this question?  It's becoming a new chicken-or-egg, why-is-the-sky-blue question.\n\nMagnesium acts as a sacrificial anode.\n\nOxygen in the atmosphere reacts with iron to oxidize it in what is called a redox reaction (oxidation/reduction). The redox reaction is defined by the exchange of electrons--uncharged iron will lose two electrons to an oxygen molecule, creating iron oxide. Water quicken rusting by serving as a catalyst. Dissolved oxygen in the water reacts, and as the water dries, the oxygen becomes increasingly concentrated.\n\nEngineers will prevent wide-spread rusting by creating what is called a "sacrificial anode." You might know the names anode and cathode from the ends of a battery. Batteries function by employing two seperate redox reactions, where one end corrodes to release electrons, which travel to the other end and react with metal cations in solution, turning them to a solid metal. The corrosion of iron is prevented by creating a sacrificial anode out of something even more reactive than the iron (usually magnesium). The corrosion of the magnesium releases excess electrons in the iron, which delays corrosion of the iron--oxygen can grab the free electrons created by the corrosion of magnesium without needing to corrode the iron.

Can I update Windows without Validating it?


Yes.  You can form a supersaturated solution with salt and boiling hot water in a glass jar.  Tie a pencil to one end of a string and a paperclip to the other.  Allow the pencil to rest on the top of the jar so the paperclip can hang in the solution, almost touching the bottom of the jar.  Allow the jar to sit undisturbed and you'll see crystals forming within 24 hours.


can the great wall of china be seen from space?

Actually, despite what has already been said...you can. However, define "see". It is very difficult, if not impossible to see with the naked eye, but can easily been seen using hi res cameras on satellites.\n\nSee here from the European Space Agency:\n\nhttp://www.esa.int/SPECIALS/Proba_web_site/SEMTTHGHZTD_2.html


Decrypt or Shrink first?? After I decrypted the DVD where did it go on my PC?

Depends on what software you use but it should be decrypted to wherever the applications default directory is.  I use DVD Shrink and you can customize it and use a directory of your choosing.  It also uses nero so once it's done encrypting, it will automatically start burning it if you want.


What was your favorite OLYMPIC MOMENT of all time ?

"Do you believe in miracles? Yes." That was al michaels saying that in one of the biggest upset set of all time when the us hockey team beat the russian in 1980 winter games in lake placid in the semifinal play, what is now called the Miracle on Ice. This event was almost impossible to think in the begin of the olympics that this was going to happen because the us team was a bunch of college kids agaist the russian team was practacilly professionals that won gold for the last 3 winter olympics and who already beat some pro hockey team the the New York Rangers and the Montele Candians. It was aslo important because america need heros because the iran hostage and other things were happening. This aslo symbolized democry overtaking coummism under turmenous odds. This game was so powerful that people who don't watch hockey or sports remember watching this game.


I posted this as an answer to a somewhat similiar question about talking, starting conversations and friends. It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but I hope it will help.\n\n\nTo keep the other person interested don't talk about yourself too much. Ask questions to get to know the person better, talk about any interests you have, classes, guys/girls, parents, etc. Becoming genuinely interested in the other person.\n\nA somewhat easy way to get a conversation started is to make a short complaint about something that you know the other person doesn't like. Generally the other person will complain too and you'll have you're conversation. You have to be Very careful not to do this often because you don't want the other person to think you're a whiner.\n\nPay Attention to what the other person says! This one is Extremely useful as you can bring it up at a later time and the other person will be surprised and pleased that you remembered.\n\nContinue to speak to everyone you know regularly. If you are walking and see someone you haven’t talked to in a while, stop for a moment and talk to them. It does not have to be a long conversation, just say hello, see how they are doing and if anything is wrong. You would be surprised by how little effort is required to win the friendship of others when you require nothing of them.\n\nBe nice and generally try to end the conversation on a good note. You don't have to make sure the other person has a great time Every Single conversation, but you don't want to think of all the petty arguements they've had with you.\n\nArguements... Don't. There are VERY few 'good' arguements. "The only way to get the berst of an arguement is to avoid it."\nIf you're wrong, admit it.\n\nDO NOT critize the person, or a friend, when talking to the person. If you want to point out something they did wrong, try to point out something similar you did wrong.\n\nSmile! Not a forced smile, the person you're talking to will be able to tell the difference. And you don't have to be an overly happy hyper-active person. Just smile naturally and, if you can, be somewhat happy. Remembering good times with your friends/family can help.\n\nLet the other person do a lot of the talking and be a good listener. (Somewhat stated in my first advice, ask questions, talk about interests the other person has. Answer questions sincerly.)\n\nHonestly make the person you're talking to feel important. You don't want to fake this one or do it too often, but if you honestly think they did something well, give them that praise.\n\n\nWell, it's a littly longer than I originally planned to write but I hope it helps you. If you want more advice, there are a couple good books that Will actually help. How to Win Friends and Influence People, is probably one of the best ones. It's an old book, but trust me, it's just as useful today as it was when it was written.\n\nFission

We want next baby after 5 year , what we want to do? what are the birth controlling techniques, safe & easy?

Birth control includes abstinence, withdrawal(though it is not that safe),birth control pills, injectables, condom (for him), diapraghm. You can also try the rhythm method or simply knowing your wet and dry periods yet you can still have sex without worry. All you have to do is count 10 (ten) days since you had your period for this month. On the first day of your period up to the tenth day (incuding your last day of your menstruation) IT IS SAFE. After that ten days until your next menstruation, it is your fertile or your wet period. =)

The term "political agenda" generally has one of two meanings, both pretty similar.  It is often referred to as a sort of political "to-do" list.  It can also be used in reference to political motives, such as a politician appearing on a talk program in an attempt to influence voters either to vote for himself or to simply support a bill or political belief the politician supports.

Shingles is NOT contagious.However, although shingles is not contagious, contact with a person with shingles could lead to chicken pox in someone who has never had chicken pox and has not received the varicella vaccine.\n\nShingles is not a new infection; rather, it is a second outbreak of the chicken pox virus. Some of the virus germs that cause chicken pox stay in the body, remaining inactive in the nerve cells near the spine for many years. Then the herpes zoster virus suddenly wakes up from the dormant state and grows. Once active, the germs travel along the nerve paths to the skin, leaving a path of destruction along the nerves in which they travel. The result is the pain and rash of shingles.


If you feel sleepy after eating, particularly after sweet or bakery products, you are normal. Eating sugary foods causes your brain to make large amounts of the neurotransmitter, serotonin, that makes people fall asleep naturally at night. \n\nEating sugary foods or those made from flour, such as bakery products or pastas, causes blood sugar to rise higher than normal. This causes your pancreas to release large amounts of insulin, which drives one of the protein building blocks called tryptophan from your bloodstream into your brain, where it is converted to serotonin that makes you feel sleepy. \n\nMany people can avoid feeling sleepy after eating by restricting foods high in sugar and flour. When it is important for you to be alert, eat foods that do not cause a high rise in blood sugar, such as vegetable salads, nuts, seeds, meat, fish and chicken.


Can you explain the sonnet: "Let me not to the marriage of true minds" by Shakespeare?

Let me not to the marriage of true minds \nAdmit impediments. Love is not love \nWhich alters when it alteration finds, \nOr bends with the remover to remove: \nO no! it is an ever-fixed mark \nThat looks on tempests and is never shaken; \nIt is the star to every wandering bark, \nWhose worth's unknown, although his height be taken \nLove's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks \nWithin his bending sickle's compass come: \nLove alters not with his brief hours and weeks, \nBut bears it out even to the edge of doom. \nIf this be error and upon me proved, \nI never writ, nor no man ever loved. \n\nIn the first part he is saying that love is permanent and fixed, it is not something that changes.  He then uses metaphors to show examples of what love is (a star that guides a ship).  Finally, he shows that love is not affected by time passing (whereas physical beauty fades).  The important thing about this sonnet is the permanence of true love, and its basis not in the physical but in the spiritual.

No, you will have plenty of time when you are older.

Where do we go from 'here'? Do you believe in heaven?

First of all, MAN wrote the bible based on his interpretation - not God.  So how do we really know what the truth is??  Everyone can have their own opinion on where you go after you die, but bottom line is, you'll never know until you die.\n\nI personally believe in reincarnation to some extent.  I also believe that we create our own heaven or hell here in this existence, by being as good as we can - otherwise known as KARMA.

The very first computers were digital.  Kids quickly learned to count to ten (and still do!).  The next generation of computers were analog where for example vertical marks on the wall were analogous to the number of sheep.  We still use vertical marks to gage the amount of gas left in the tank using an anlog computer.  Then came the abacus that was speedier than most table model calculators, even when operated by skilled accountants.  Next came digital computers that filled an entire room and worked using vacuum tubes and electro-mechanical relays.  Once such a computer failed to operate properly and the operator found an insect caught in a relay.  Ever since, many has been trying to debug computers.  Hope that helps a little.

WIND \nAir that flows in relation to the earth's surface, generally horizontally. There are four areas of wind that are measured: direction, speed, character (gusts and squalls), and shifts. Surface winds are measured by wind vanes and anemometers, while upper level winds are detected through pilot balloons, rawin, or aircraft reports. \nWhoosh! You know that wind is moving air. But what causes the air to move? It’s the uneven heating of the earth’s atmosphere. \n\nAs the sun warms the earth’s surface, the atmosphere warms too. Some parts of the earth receive direct rays from the sun all year and are always warm. Other places receive indirect rays, so the climate is colder. Warm air, which weighs less than cool air, rises. Then cool air moves in and replaces the rising warm air. This movement of air is what makes the wind blow.

If you have any self-esteem left you'll leave him and show him you're over him.

If you do not drink, it prob. wont be expected.

Because if it is made of plastic, Plastic is a product of petroleum.\n\nYou will probably be surprised to know that a plastic bottle is made from the same petrochemical as the fiber we call polyester!\n\nAll plastic products, many of the materials used to make the clothes you wear, or the carpet you walk on, plus hundreds of the other products we take for granted, are made from petrochemicals. As the name implies, a main ingredient in petrochemicals is oil. \n\nPlastic: Any of various complex organic compounds produced by polymerization, capable of being molded, extruded, cast into various shapes and films, or drawn into filaments used as textile fibers. \n-- Webster's Dictionary\n\nThat's an interesting definition, you may be thinking, but really -- how is plastic made? What's involved in the plastics manufacturing process? \nThe Basics of Plastic Manufacturing \n\nThe term "plastics" encompasses organic materials, such as the elements carbon (C), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), chlorine (Cl) and sulfur (S), which have properties similar to those naturally grown in organic materials such as wood, horn and rosin. Organic materials are based on polymers, which are produced by the conversion of natural products or by syththesis from primary chemicals coming from oil, natural gas or coal. \n\nThe plastic manufacturing process begins by heating the hydrocarbons in a "cracking process." Here, in the presence of a catalyst, larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones such as ethylene (ethene) C2H4, propylene (propene) C3H6, and butene C4H8 and other hydrocarbons. The yield of ethylene is controlled by the cracking temperature and is more than 30% at 850°C and such products as styrene and vinylchloride can be produced in subsequent reactions. These are then the starting materials for several other types of plastics. Therefore, this process results in the conversion of the natural gas or crude oil components into monomers such as ethylene, propylene, butene and styrene. \n\nThese monomers are then chemically bonded into chains called polymers. Different combinations of monomers yield plastic resins with different properties and characteristics. Each monomer yields a plastic resin with different properties and characteristics. Combinations of monomers produce copolymers with further property variations. \n\nThe resulting resins may be molded or formed to produce several different kinds of plastic products with application in many major markets. The variability of resin permits a compound to be tailored to a specific design or performance requirement. This is why certain plastics are best suited for some applications while others are best suited for entirely different applications. For instance, impact strength measures the ability of a material to withstand shock loading. Heat resistance protects the resin from exposure to excessive temperatures. Chemical resistance protects the resin from breakdown due to exposure to environmental chemicals. \n\nSome examples of material properties in plastic product applications are: \n\nHot-filled packaging used for products such as ketchup \nChemical-resistant packaging used for products such as bleach \nImpact strength of car bumpers \n\nThe Structure of Polymers \n\nPolymers are created by the chemical bonding of many identical or related basic units and those produced from a single monomer type are called homopolymers. These polymers are specifically made of small units bonded into long chains. Carbon makes up the backbone of the molecule and hydrogen atoms are bonded along the carbon backbone. \n\nPolymers that contain primarily carbon and hydrogen are classified as organic polymers. Polypropylene, polybutylene, polystyrene and polymethylpentene are examples of these.\n\nEven though the basic makeup of many polymers is carbon and hydrogen, other elements can also be involved. Oxygen, chlorine, fluorine, nitrogen, silicon, phosphorous and sulfur are other elem

Why ?  Do you not have cash ?  Do you want to have debt ?\n\nStop using your credit cards.\n\n \n\n“People change their lives only when they say, ‘I’ve had it!’” – Les Brown\n\n \n\nThink you can’t exist in the 21st century without credit?  Do you have at least one credit card?  Did you sign up just for the bonus miles or cash back?  Sounds like it’s time for you to perform a plasectomy.  (That’s what Dave calls cutting up your credit card.)  You’ve heard all the lies, now here are a few facts about credit.\n\n \n\nMyth: No on can live without credit cards.\n\nFact: Actually, 24% of American households are getting by just fine without any type of credit according to a Federal Reserve survey of consumer finances.  Try using your debit card or cash instead.  If millions of Americans can live without credit, so can you!\n\n \n\nMyth: Credit cards help me get airline miles, cash back and other discounts.\n\nFact: Yeah, credit cards also help you get into debt.  Consumer Reports say that only 25% of airline miles are ever redeemed – and credit card companies know it.  Earning a few airline miles is not worth thousands of dollars in debt.  \n\n \n\nMyth: I can just pay off the balance at the end of every month.\n\nFact: You’ll be in the minority.  According to CardWeb.com, only 40% of credit card users pay off their balance when they receive the bill.  Plus, overspending is inevitable when you use a credit card.  It’s just easier to swipe a piece of plastic than it is to flash the cash.\n\n \n\nMyth: “Ninety days same as cash” is the smart way to buy.\n\nFact: “Ninety days same as cash” is a scam.  Retailers know that most consumers won’t pay their balance in 90 days, which means you get stuck with outrageous interest rates and back charges to boot.\n\n \n\nMyth: I’m required to have a credit card to buy a house.\n\nFact: Several quality mortgage companies provide underwriting which allows you to purchase a home without a credit card.  If your mortgage lender requires a credit card for your home loan, run – don’t walk – to a lender who will actually help you achieve freedom from credit.

What happens to the surrounding air when a refrigerant condenses and why does this happen?

I will assume the refrigerant is Freon, with a boiling point of -40F. When the refrigerant condenses, as in goes from gas to liquid, it assumes a lower state of energy, therefore it must give off energy, in the form of heat, thus the air would increase in temperature. This occurs in the condensor of an air conditioner, the part that is OUTSIDE your house.\nInside your house, the refrigerant BOILS in an evaporator (at -40F) which requires heat INPUT, which is taken from the surrounding air, thus COOLING your house. These events combined are called a Carnot Cycle

There are, talk to your doc, there are diets, and physical therapy for losing weight designed especcially for those bound to the wheelchair.\n\nI work at a sheltered workshop, and have seen some of our clients go through physical therapy and given diets prescribed to help them lose weight and become more capable in muscle tone to have the security to transfer from chair to restroom needs without needing assistance, (which is required to work there since most nonprofit organizations cannot afford to employ nurses or aides specifically for this. \n\nNow as to why there isn't like a "Curves" for wheelchair bound, because each case is different and requires specific needs depending on what amount of paralysis effects the person. And personally, who can you trust with all that resposibility but your doctor? \n\nLawsuits scare people, causing someone else to be harmed is worse a fear. And to cause someone who already has difficulties even more difficulties is a guilt possibility that most people are afraid to attempt.


Most all fish spend time in an energy-saving state that can be called\n"rest", and we might even call their behavior "sleep", though it is probably \ndifferent than "sleep" in most land\nanimals.  Many fish, like Bass and perch, rest on or under logs at\nnight.  Coral reef fish active in the day, hide and rest in crevices\nand cracks in the reef to avoid being eaten at night.\nThe resting behavior of fish is very different from their behavior the\nrest of the day. Many minnows, for example, which are very active in\nschools during the day, scatter and remain motionless in shallow\nwater at night.  Many fish "rest" or "sleep" during the day and are\nactive at night instead, but almost all fish sleep.\nThere are some animals that never stop swimming, like many species of\nshark, however, they HAVE to keep moving to push water through their mouths\nin order to breathe, and they may still sleep while moving,\nwe just don't know yet.
