3,206	6Business & Finance	my daughter id is lila8721 what and who did she talk with or chat how can i even to this myselk?	can i do this myself what program do i go to or set up	seriously if you want to loose your daughter's trust in you then go ahead and search for the archives, BUT honestly don't do it!!! Then what is going to happen if you find something out? When you go and confront her what do you think will happen. She will be extremely mad, disapointed, and probably never trust you again. And what's worst is that when she finds out that you spy on her, she'll be even more sneaky trying to do things behind your back. It will only make things worst!!!!
3,207	5Sports	" IASHIN " ..the best goal keeper of all times ,, any informaton about this great Russian goal keeper ?	Why he's the best ? any details ?	Lev Yashin truly deserves the title of best goal keeper in the world. The way he helped his team, defending the goal position of his team had been a strong point for his team, giving them so many glorius wins. \n\nOne of his best performances was the 1963 FA Centenary match when he appeared in the 'Rest of the World XI' against England at Wembley Stadium and made a number of the breathtaking and almost unbelievable saves. Known all over the world as the 'Black Panther' for his distinctive all-black outfit, acrobatic saves and agility, he was feared by his opponents who also called him "Black Spider" and "Black Octopus" because of his very long hands.\n\nFor more detailed information, please visit the source
3,208	0Society & Culture	what is the significance of 786 with Islam?		"786" is the total value of the letters of "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim". In Arabic there are two methods of arranging letters. One method is the most common method known as the alphabetical method. Here we begin with Alif, ba, ta, tha etc. The other method is known as the Abjad method or ordinal method. In this method each letter has an arithmetic value assigned to it from one to one thousand. The letters are arranged in the following order: Abjad, Hawwaz, Hutti, Kalaman, Sa'fas, Qarshat, Sakhaz, Zazagh. This arrangement was done, most probably in the 3rd century of Hijrah during the 'Abbasid period, following other Semitic languages such as Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, Chaldean etc.\n\nIf you take the numeric values of all the letters of the Basmalah, according to the Abjad order, the total will be 786. In the Indian subcontinent the Abjad numerals became quite popular. Some people, mostly in India and Pakistan, use 786 as a substitute for Bismillah. They write this number to avoid writing the name of Allah or the Qur'anic ayah on ordinary papers. This tradition is not from the time of the Prophet -peace be upon him- or his Sahabah. It developed much later, perhaps during the later 'Abbasid period. We do not know of any reputable Imams or Jurists who used this number instead of the Bismillah.

3,210	5Sports	should I go with S. Jackson who is facing a distracted Eagles team or L. Johnson @NYG or D. Foster@NO? 2 RB's.		Larry Johnson not only has replaced Priest Holmes, he is slowly erasing Holmes from the collective fantasy memory. Since becoming a starter in week nine, Johnson has not failed to run for at least 107 yards and has racked up 852 rushing yards in only six games. That is an average of 142 yards a game. Extrapolated over 16 games would be 2272 yards. And it is not that he has feasted on a weak schedule with games that included DEN and @DAL. Johnson has already scored 11 touchdowns this year with ten coming in those six games as a starter. That equates to a 27 touchdown season, AKA Priest Holmes record.
3,211	6Business & Finance	What is the meaning of life for a non-religous person (other than discovering a religion)?		The meaning of life is different for everyone. You should know, however, that discovering a religion is not mandatory - nor is it the basis for searching for the meaning of life. For some people it is finding peace, for others it is becoming the best they can be. It varies so much because each person is so different. This question often goes unanswered in life to those who passively seek a solution to it.\n\nI always thought that the meaning of life was to live it fully ... I am not religious, and am not looking for a religion, but I'm happy and I think that's what the meaning of life is for me. Living each day to the fullest.\n\nIf I had to venture a guess for most of the world - I would say the meaning of life is to have loved, and been loved as much as humanly possible with no strings attached. True love. That's what we're here for.

3,214	1Science & Mathematics	how do you produce 100% ethanol?		In synthetic organic chemistry, water free ethanol can be produced by adding elementary sodium wire under a nitrogen atmosphere. The sodium will react with water forming NaOH and with the ethanol forming sodium ethanolate, which in turn would react with any water that should make its way into the liquid.\n\nTo remove the salts, you can distill in a water free environment.\n\nSodium wire is highly inflammable. You won't be able to get it outside of laboratories, for a good reason.

3,219	8Family & Relationships	I WANT TO BE NOTICED?	Ok, all of you are really going to think that I'm stupid, but just hear me out, I just got done watching Mean Girls for the 1st time, and I realized that I want what Cady had! Except for the burn book and the bus incident, I mean in the end. She had it all. Kool parents, the HOTTEST guy around, Aaron, and everybody was her friend, plus she got to be all do-goody with that killer speech..... I'm pretty popular at my school, (granted I'm only in 8th grade, but it still counts,) I have lots of friends from a ton of diferent cliques. I am a proud member of just about every clique, and for the past 2 yrs (as long as theyve done it) I won Most Comical. And I didnt vote, so... And I really want to be noticed by a few guys. Not C, from my past post, but another one. A nicer one. And there are a lot of kool guys at my school, but none of them are really my style. I'm bored with the guys at my school. I go to a 4H camp that has guys and girls from 7 other counties in my state, and.....	8th grade, huh? That makes you about 12 or 13. Hmm, I can give you an answer from the standpoint of someone about 10 yrs older...but I don't think that's what you really want. To be brief and to the point, find a guy you like and want to be with because of who he is and not because you want ppl to envy you and your boyfriend. If you do like I say, ppl will envy you because you're with someone you want to be with because of who he is and what you'll have together. If that doesn't make someone envy you then I'm as far removed from the human race as humans are to ants. Btw, don't flaunt someone like you're talking about...you'll quickly find that you don't have that person for very long if he's really a nice guy.

3,221	3Education & Reference	What is the capital of Australia?		Facts are not decided by a poll. A question like "what is the capital of Australia" requests a fact, not an opinion.\n\nThe simpler way to find out on the Internet is to use a search engine. I typed "capital of Australia" into Google, then followed the hits to confirm what I already knew -- Canberra. It took less time than posting a question here.\n\nWhen we answer, it's a good idea to cite our sources. For example, my definitive answer was from the CIA world factbook.(1) If you can't trust the CIA, whom can you trust? ;D [sorry about that -- I couldn't resist]\n\nHere's what my Google search page looked like(2)\n\nOff the Internet (opinion) the single most valuable reference book to have in the house other than a dictionary is an almanac. Good almanacs are published annually around the end of the year and are inexpensive. World almanacs give maps, statistics, facts and figures about the world, the stars, the universe. They're usually crammed with articles and give a summary of significant world events.

3,223	4Computers & Internet	Can someone explain defragmentation?		In the context of administering computer systems, defragmentation (or defragging) is a process that eliminates fragmentation in file systems. It does this by physically reorganizing the contents of the disk in order to store the pieces of each file close together and in order (contiguously). It also attempts to create large regions of free space using compaction, to impede the return of fragmentation.\n\nAims of defragmentation\nReading and writing data on a heavily fragmented hard drive is slowed down as the time for the heads to move between fragments on the disk surface can be substantial. The disk operates at speeds millions of times slower than the CPU; thus the desire to process more efficiently encourages defragmentation. Operating system manufacturers often recommend periodic defragmentation in order to keep hard drive access as fast as possible.\n\nFragmented data also spreads over more disk than it needs. Thus one may defragment in order to compact data storage before splitting a single partition into two or more partitions (for example, with GNU Parted, or PartitionMagic).
3,224	6Business & Finance	characteristics of the m/v Altair?	techical charateristics. 1999	huh?
3,225	3Education & Reference	Is there an online Japanese language teaching program that you would recommend?		You can do a small free trial at www.rosettastone.com. It uses a visual technique that doesn't involve translation that they claim is more natural. It's kinda fun too. $45/month I think for unlimited usage per language. Japanese is one of the choices.
3,226	6Business & Finance	How many spiders do you eat while you are sleeping?		It's possible, but very, very rare. Most spider wouldn't be crawling on a bed, as most house spiders like the floor (especially places that aren't disturbed very often, like the basement). Spiders also don't like to walk on moisture or in windy places. So they wouldn't be likely to go into a mouth with moisture and breathing. One other thing is that even when people are asleep, I don't know how easy it would be to swallow a spider that doesn't want to be swallowed.
3,227	6Business & Finance	Is there somewhere in the Bible that states a person should never be cremated?	I have always been told this by my parents.	It is not that the Bible forbade cremation as much as there as several references (in the Old Testament) to the phrase “bury the dead.” Even the Catholic Church during the plagues would allow for the bodies of believers to be burned.\nSome people might interpret scriptures differently.

3,230	9Politics & Government	What is the role of JCC in BC, Canada, justice system?		I've included a link below about its role, and an excerpt below:\n\n"In the Supreme Court, a Judicial Case Conference (a "JCC") is scheduled. A JCC is an informal, off-the-record hearing before a judge to discuss the basics of case and whether there is any prospect for a settlement of the issues. A JCC is also useful for setting dates by which things must happen, such as the exchange of financial information, and for setting a trial date. Both parties must attend the JCC in person along with their lawyers."

3,234	6Business & Finance	Is prostitution legal in some parts of the USA?		Yes, in Nevada it is.\n\nCheck the following source for further information.
3,235	4Computers & Internet	What is the best certification to land a top Microsoft job?		Ok, if you have to ask this question then you obviously don't have any experience (or very little). That's not an attack, it's just an observation. The relevance is very significant. \n\nWith little to no experience NO certification will "land" you a top Microsoft job. There is no certification out there that can replace experience. \n\nMicrosoft has a few levels of certification. The more prestigious is the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE). There are some other certifications on different tracks such as a database administrator.\n\nI've been in the IT business for 6 years (not too terribly long) w/ the last 2 years being in a consultant role. I have an MCSE in Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. I also have my Cisco CCNP. While these certifications certainly help my consulting firm w/ their Cisco and Microsoft partnerships, it doesn't do much for one's salary if you don't have the experience to match. Certifications aren't difficult to come by and you get a lot of people coming into the market w/ Certs out the wazoo w/ no real experience. \n\nSorry to rant, but I just want you to know the truth. Don't go paying $4000, or however much, to attend a course to get an MCSE at a school because they tell you that you can land a sweet job w/ the cert. These certification "mills" will fill your head full of dreams that will end up getting you burned while padding their pockets. \n\nWith that said, if you are willing to put the money and effort into getting a certification w/ the realization that you'll have to take a few modest jobs to start out then that's a different story. \n\nIf you're not already in the IT business then think long and hard about it before you go in. A lot of people think that just because they like computers that they'll automatically like a job in computers. The IT industry is very tough and fast paced. The technology changes rapidly and to be able to make it in the field you have to keep up. This requires a LOT of time on your part in addition to actually doing the work. It's not for everyone. You have to ABSOLUTELY love it and be willing to neglect the ones you love to succeed. \n\nI actually wish that someone would have told me how it is before I got into it. I'm now looking for a new line of work!
3,236	0Society & Culture	Why does everything crash down at you at once?	bad two weeks	Things happen. You've just got to learn to live, despite anything that has happened to you.

Merry Christmas.

The Oxford English Dictionary does have genuine (if rather obviously deliberate) examples in their files of antidisestablishmentarianism (28 letters) and floccinaucinihilipilification (29 letters), which are listed in some of their larger dictionaries. \n\nOther words (mainly technical ones) recorded in the complete Oxford English Dictionary include:\n\n otorhinolaryngological (22 letters),\n immunoelectrophoretically (25 letters),\n psychophysicotherapeutics (25 letters),\n thyroparathyroidectomized (25 letters),\n pneumoencephalographically (26 letters),\n radioimmunoelectrophoresis (26 letters),\n psychoneuroendocrinological (27 letters)\n hepaticocholangiogastrostomy (28 letters),\n spectrophotofluorometrically (28 letters),\n pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (30 letters).
3,239	0Society & Culture	"NOMOS...OMOS"..( your name is your omen ) .what's this Roman proverb , means?

3,240	2Health	Which is better treatment for psoriasis - Raptiva or Enbrel?		Depends on the severity of your psoriasis. I have been using Raptiva for 2 years now and have great success. It took about 12 weeks before I started noticing improvement.\n\nI haven't researched Enbrel but the side effects of Raptiva have been virtually nil for me.
3,241	6Business & Finance	need free advice/help with a resume.?		Look up resume examples online, find the types of "jobs" that appeal to you. Then match up what your talents are "that you make you an asset to that particular position" and convince the industry of what you have to offer in your resume. \nMany HR personnel don't really care what you have done for your own interest in resumes, they are looking for what you have done that will be the best match to the position they are offering.\nDo some research, once you get a "job" with an industries, you can have a better feel for the position that interest you more from the inside of the company.\nI'm not saying minimize your education, but you can leave out bits of experience that may not seem like an asset to them. Sometimes less is more. \nThen build on your qualifications and abilities, to advance to positions you find more interesting.\n\nThere are auto resume builders available to walk you through how to put it all together in a professional manner, but using the format of resume examples on line should work well.\n\nI'll also say try to keep the pages to a 2 page minimum, after that HR loses interest.
3,242	4Computers & Internet	If you could talk to Uncle Bill (Gates, that is), what suggestions would you make to improve Windows XP Pro?		I think what ever improvements and additions or changes they need they are going to include into Vista, so no worries.\n\nYou know? Flash drive is used as auxilary memory in Vista, and so many new things are there in that. Also what more we could as with XP. It supports Remote desktop and assistance.

I have two small kids and can't imagine going through something like this.\n\nSecond - check the web site for your state bar association or the American Bar Association's findlegalhelp.org. Medicine is a state regulated profession and you'll need a lawyer in the state where the doctor is licensed to help you understand what remedies you might have.
3,245	6Business & Finance	What is the big stink about Sponge Bob? Why do you love that show? Who is your favorite character?

I grew up with Ren and Stimpy and other very annoying shows that I LOVED, but I can't get into this one. Explain the mad obsession for me!	If I have to explain it, your not one of us. SORRY

3,247	4Computers & Internet	What is a good chat program that allows you to access aim (without having to go through aol.com)?		Aside from trillian, you might also look at a pair of open source options as well. Gaim (http://gaim.sourceforge.net/) and Miranda (http://miranda-im.org/) will both connect as AIM clients, along with MSN, Yahoo! and others.\n\nPersonally, I prefer Gaim, but both are quite capable and easy to use.
3,248	6Business & Finance	Is there a way to keep telemarketers from disturbing me even when my number is not listed?		Put your name on the "do not call" list - its at www.donotcall.gov This should stop telemarketers from calling. It takes a couple of days to get activated but it works. And if the telemarketers do call you with your name on the list, they get fined!
3,249	0Society & Culture	Why are so many people prejudiced against long-haired men?	With all the "political correctness" and "anti-discrimination" laws these days, why is it still ok for an employer to refuse to hire a man with long hair, or ok to make him cut it? What's the difference between that and them requiring an overweight person to lose weight?	This is an issue that stems back from the 1960s.\n\nAs you may or may not have known, during the 1960s, America suffered huge cultural and social changes. One of them was the rise of the Hippie Movement and Youthquake, which went against what people at the time-- especially Conservatives-- considered "moral", "traditional", and "upstanding."\n\nBesides the obvious sex, drugs, and rock and roll they indulged in, Hippies also dressed and changed their appearances in ways that offended Conservatives and the Establishment at the time. One of the things they did (the males) was grow out their hair and start growing beards and mustaches at a time when men were expected to be cleanshaven and have the shortest hair possible. As a result, any man who started growing his hair out became associated with the whole Hippie lifestyle and was seen as unfeminine, unAmerican, a derelict, and a subverstive.\n\nWhat you are seeing now is a holdover from those days. Many people still assume that men with long hair are in some kind of subversive lifestyle (drinking, partying, drugging, etc.). Either that, or they're just seen as stoners and slackers. Unfortunate type of prejudice, but it still remains there, nevertheless.

3,252	0Society & Culture	How do messianics jews celebrate Rosh Chodesh?	Looking for specific blessings and liturgy.	Messianic ""Jews"" take the rituals of Jewish holidays and holy days and life cycle events, and inject interpretations of Jesus into all of them.\n\nFrom the Jewish perspective this is ridiculous. It would be as if a moslem took the Eucharist, the communion, and said that the rituals of it point to Mohammed, but Christians are too blind to see this truth, a result of a veil being over their minds. \n\nThen, it would be like a large group of these moslems saying that they practice the real form of Christianity, and that they are "completed Christians" because they understand that the Eucharist is actually about Mohammed.\n\nPLEASE look at http://WhatJewsBelieve.org/explanation10.html\nand\nhttp://WhatJewsBelieve.org/explanation09.html

Hi Secret Eagle, You are already well versed with the patents and copyrights. The thing is that in case you want to make money, you got to Patent. However, patenting does involve a lot of money, generally people hire attorneys to make their case strong for consideration for a patent. In case you want to make money, you will have to shed some initially, but then looking at the mass usability of your invention, you can definitely get profit. \n\nHowever, I can suggest you a better and more cheaper alternative. I am from India. As a child, I too used to frequent out in science fairs, with models on Robots to Compression Algorithms winning some commendable prizes with IBM, Infosys, Department of Science and Technology, National Geographic, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, etc. You can check them out at http://cs.dal.ca/~koul/\n\nIn government run fairs, there used to be a scheme, that all the inventions, models that have been shown, were protected by the government from copying, i.e. if someone saw an innovator's model in a fair and went home, copied the idea and went further to patent or market it, he could easily be penalized by the original innovator, through the support of your government. The government has been an earlier witness to the innovator's model and is responsile for its protection.\n\nAnother thing, you can sign a non disclosure aggrement with any party with whom you show the invention.\n\nIn case you are giving it in the public domain, I suggest you go to the appropriate officials in your country and do ask for some monetary benifits as you wish, looking at the benefit it will give to the common masses.

3,266	2Health	How long does it take for AIDS to show up on a blood test?		Three to six months from your last unsafe sexual experience is the amount of time you need to wait to get an HIV test. Depending on the source, you will get differing opinions about this "window" of time between infection and HIV antibody detection in a blood test. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends six months, some city and state health departments advise waiting two months, while the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), the oldest and largest HIV and AIDS service organization in the world, suggests a three-month waiting period. Alice thinks that six months is a long time to wait for HIV test results, and a negative or positive test result three months after possible HIV exposure can be considered reliable, although not 100 percent accurate.
3,267	6Business & Finance	which fragrance/parfume du you prefere?		The dreamer by Versace\n\nWhen I was younger, I had a bottle of The Dreamer and I remember it as smelling a lot like a gin and tonic being sipped by a gentleman smoking a pipe. However, I couldn't quite understand the scent in those days and only wore it a handful of times before swapping away my beautiful bottle. Now however, I can detect the white floral note, and have a greater appreciation for that warm, rich, sweet tobacco base. I only wish there was some buttery leather in there! \n\nThe opening of the juniper and lily really help temper and develop the tobacco notes, and it is this lily note that I find most intriguing (lily? in a men's scent?) as it brings a cool freshness to the edges of the fragrance. Looking at the notes, I wonder where the iris is, as it's virtually undetectable to my nose. As the scent relaxes on the skin, the tobacco mellows and merges with the amber and the almost coconut-y tarragon note becomes apparent. The final effect of this combination of notes is almost soapy...and perfect! \n\nTruly unique, and a pleasure in the cooler months, The Dreamer is perhaps the best of Versace and I now think of it as fondly as a favorite sweater or blanket - warm and comforting.

3,287	3Education & Reference	the history on yellowstone national park?		The human history of the park dates back 12,000 years. It was known to the original natives as "Mitzi-a-dazi," the "River of Yellow Rocks," because of the hydrothermally altered iron-containing yellow rocks in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (many people incorrectly believe that the yellow color is from sulfur).\n\nThe Native Americans that hunted and fished in the Yellowstone region also utilized the significant amounts of obsidian found in the park to make cutting tools and weapons. In fact, arrowheads made of Yellowstone obsidian have been found as far away as the Mississippi Valley, which strongly indicate that a regular obsidian trade existed between Yellowstone Native Americans and tribes further east.\n\n Lower Yellowstone FallIn 1806 a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition named John Colter left the Expedition to join a group of fur trappers and was probably the first non-Native American to visit the region and make contact with the Native Americans there. After surviving wounds he suffered in a battle with Crow and Blackfoot tribes, he gave a description of a place of "fire and brimstone" that was dismissed by most people as delirium. The supposedly imaginary place was nicknamed "Colter's Hell."\n\nMountain man Jim Bridger later returned from an 1857 expedition to the park's area and told tales of boiling springs, spouting water, a mountain of glass and yellow rock. These reports were largely ignored, however, because Bridger was known for being a "spinner of yarns." Nonetheless his stories did arouse the interest of explorer and geologist F.V. Hayden who in 1859 started a two-year survey of the upper Missouri River region with Bridger as a guide and with United States Army surveyor W.F. Raynolds. The party was able to reach the approaches to the Yellowstone region but was not able to go any further due to heavy snows. The intervening American Civil War stopped all attempts to explore the region, and Hayden would not be able to fulfill his mission to explore the area for another 11 years.\n\n North Gate to Yellowstone Park at Gardiner, Montana, which says "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People."A party of Montanans then organized the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition, headed by the surveyor-general of Montana Henry Washburn. Amongst the group was Nathaniel P. Langford, who would later become known as "National Park" Langford, and an Army detachment commanded by Lt. Gustavus Doane. The expedition spent about a month in 1870 exploring the region, collecting specimens and naming sites of interest.\n\nIn 1871 Hayden led a second, larger expedition, which was now government sponsored, to the Yellowstone region. He compiled a comprehensive report on Yellowstone which included large-format photographs by William Henry Jackson and paintings by Thomas Moran. This report helped to convince the U.S. Congress to withdraw this region from public auction. Then on March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill into law that created Yellowstone National Park.\n\nLangford then served for five years without pay as the first superintendent of the park and was followed by several other superintendents (who worked with some minimal funding). The second superintendent was Philetus Norris who essentially volunteered for the position, after traveling through Yellowstone and witnessing its problems first hand. During his tenure Congress finally began to give the superintendent a salary and minimal funds to operate the park. He used these monies to expand access to and further explore Yellowstone. Norris also hired Harry Yount (nicknamed "Rocky Mountain Harry") to control poaching and vandalism in the park. Today, Harry Yount is considered the very first national park ranger.\n\n Mammoth Hot SpringsThree additional superintendents followed, but none proved effective in stopping the destruction of Yellowstone's natural resources.\n

Lev Yashin truly deserves the title of best goal keeper in the world.

what is the significance of 786 with Islam?

"786" is the total value of the letters of "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim". In Arabic there are two methods of arranging letters. One method is the most common method known as the alphabetical method. Here we begin with Alif, ba, ta, tha etc. The other method is known as the Abjad method or ordinal method. In this method each letter has an arithmetic value assigned to it from one to one thousand. The letters are arranged in the following order: Abjad, Hawwaz, Hutti, Kalaman, Sa'fas, Qarshat, Sakhaz, Zazagh. This arrangement was done, most probably in the 3rd century of Hijrah during the 'Abbasid period, following other Semitic languages such as Phoenician, Aramaic, Hebrew, Syriac, Chaldean etc.\n\nIf you take the numeric values of all the letters of the Basmalah, according to the Abjad order, the total will be 786. In the Indian subcontinent the Abjad numerals became quite popular. Some people, mostly in India and Pakistan, use 786 as a substitute for Bismillah. They write this number to avoid writing the name of Allah or the Qur'anic ayah on ordinary papers. This tradition is not from the time of the Prophet -peace be upon him- or his Sahabah. It developed much later, perhaps during the later 'Abbasid period. We do not know of any reputable Imams or Jurists who used this number instead of the Bismillah.

Larry Johnson not only has replaced Priest Holmes, he is slowly erasing Holmes from the collective fantasy memory. Since becoming a starter in week nine, Johnson has not failed to run for at least 107 yards and has racked up 852 rushing yards in only six games. That is an average of 142 yards a game. Extrapolated over 16 games would be 2272 yards. And it is not that he has feasted on a weak schedule with games that included DEN and @DAL. Johnson has already scored 11 touchdowns this year with ten coming in those six games as a starter. That equates to a 27 touchdown season, AKA Priest Holmes record.

What is the meaning of life for a non-religous person (other than discovering a religion)?

The meaning of life is different for everyone. You should know, however, that discovering a religion is not mandatory - nor is it the basis for searching for the meaning of life. For some people it is finding peace, for others it is becoming the best they can be. It varies so much because each person is so different. This question often goes unanswered in life to those who passively seek a solution to it.\n\nI always thought that the meaning of life was to live it fully ... I am not religious, and am not looking for a religion, but I'm happy and I think that's what the meaning of life is for me. Living each day to the fullest.\n\nIf I had to venture a guess for most of the world - I would say the meaning of life is to have loved, and been loved as much as humanly possible with no strings attached. True love. That's what we're here for.

how do you produce 100% ethanol?

In synthetic organic chemistry, water free ethanol can be produced by adding elementary sodium wire under a nitrogen atmosphere. The sodium will react with water forming NaOH and with the ethanol forming sodium ethanolate, which in turn would react with any water that should make its way into the liquid.\n\nTo remove the salts, you can distill in a water free environment.\n\nSodium wire is highly inflammable.

I WANT TO BE NOTICED?

Ok, all of you are really going to think that I'm stupid, but just hear me out, I just got done watching Mean Girls for the 1st time, and I realized that I want what Cady had! Except for the burn book and the bus incident, I mean in the end. She had it all. Kool parents, the HOTTEST guy around, Aaron, and everybody was her friend, plus she got to be all do-goody with that killer speech..... I'm pretty popular at my school, (granted I'm only in 8th grade, but it still counts,) I have lots of friends from a ton of diferent cliques. I am a proud member of just about every clique, and for the past 2 yrs (as long as theyve done it) I won Most Comical. And I didnt vote, so... And I really want to be noticed by a few guys. Not C, from my past post, but another one. A nicer one. And there are a lot of kool guys at my school, but none of them are really my style. I'm bored with the guys at my school. I go to a 4H camp that has guys and girls from 7 other counties in my state, and.....

8th grade, huh? That makes you about 12 or 13. Hmm, I can give you an answer from the standpoint of someone about 10 yrs older...but I don't think that's what you really want. To be brief and to the point, find a guy you like and want to be with because of who he is and not because you want ppl to envy you and your boyfriend. If you do like I say, ppl will envy you because you're with someone you want to be with because of who he is and what you'll have together. If that doesn't make someone envy you then I'm as far removed from the human race as humans are to ants. Btw, don't flaunt someone like you're talking about...you'll quickly find that you don't have that person for very long if he's really a nice guy.

What is the capital of Australia?

Facts are not decided by a poll. A question like "what is the capital of Australia" requests a fact, not an opinion.\n\nThe simpler way to find out on the Internet is to use a search engine. I typed "capital of Australia" into Google, then followed the hits to confirm what I already knew -- Canberra. It took less time than posting a question here.\n\nWhen we answer, it's a good idea to cite our sources. For example, my definitive answer was from the CIA world factbook.(1) If you can't trust the CIA, whom can you trust? ;D [sorry about that -- I couldn't resist]\n\nHere's what my Google search page looked like(2)\n\nOff the Internet (opinion) the single most valuable reference book to have in the house other than a dictionary is an almanac.

Can someone explain defragmentation?

In the context of administering computer systems, defragmentation (or defragging) is a process that eliminates fragmentation in file systems. It does this by physically reorganizing the contents of the disk in order to store the pieces of each file close together and in order (contiguously). It also attempts to create large regions of free space using compaction, to impede the return of fragmentation.\n\nAims of defragmentation\nReading and writing data on a heavily fragmented hard drive is slowed down as the time for the heads to move between fragments on the disk surface can be substantial. The disk operates at speeds millions of times slower than the CPU; thus the desire to process more efficiently encourages defragmentation. Operating system manufacturers often recommend periodic defragmentation in order to keep hard drive access as fast as possible.\n\nFragmented data also spreads over more disk than it needs. Thus one may defragment in order to compact data storage before splitting a single partition into two or more partitions (for example, with GNU Parted, or PartitionMagic).

How many spiders do you eat while you are sleeping?

It's possible, but very, very rare. Most spider wouldn't be crawling on a bed, as most house spiders like the floor (especially places that aren't disturbed very often, like the basement). Spiders also don't like to walk on moisture or in windy places. So they wouldn't be likely to go into a mouth with moisture and breathing. One other thing is that even when people are asleep, I don't know how easy it would be to swallow a spider that doesn't want to be swallowed.

What is the best certification to land a top Microsoft job?

Ok, if you have to ask this question then you obviously don't have any experience (or very little). That's not an attack, it's just an observation. The relevance is very significant. \n\nWith little to no experience NO certification will "land" you a top Microsoft job. There is no certification out there that can replace experience. \n\nMicrosoft has a few levels of certification. The more prestigious is the Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE). There are some other certifications on different tracks such as a database administrator.\n\nI've been in the IT business for 6 years (not too terribly long) w/ the last 2 years being in a consultant role. I have an MCSE in Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003. I also have my Cisco CCNP. While these certifications certainly help my consulting firm w/ their Cisco and Microsoft partnerships, it doesn't do much for one's salary if you don't have the experience to match. Certifications aren't difficult to come by and you get a lot of people coming into the market w/ Certs out the wazoo w/ no real experience. \n\nSorry to rant, but I just want you to know the truth. Don't go paying $4000, or however much, to attend a course to get an MCSE at a school because they tell you that you can land a sweet job w/ the cert. These certification "mills" will fill your head full of dreams that will end up getting you burned while padding their pockets. \n\nWith that said, if you are willing to put the money and effort into getting a certification w/ the realization that you'll have to take a few modest jobs to start out then that's a different story. \n\nIf you're not already in the IT business then think long and hard about it before you go in. A lot of people think that just because they like computers that they'll automatically like a job in computers. The IT industry is very tough and fast paced. The technology changes rapidly and to be able to make it in the field you have to keep up. This requires a LOT of time on your part in addition to actually doing the work. It's not for everyone. You have to ABSOLUTELY love it and be willing to neglect the ones you love to succeed. \n\nI actually wish that someone would have told me how it is before I got into it. I'm now looking for a new line of work!

Look up resume examples online, find the types of "jobs" that appeal to you. Then match up what your talents are "that you make you an asset to that particular position" and convince the industry of what you have to offer in your resume. \nMany HR personnel don't really care what you have done for your own interest in resumes, they are looking for what you have done that will be the best match to the position they are offering.\nDo some research, once you get a "job" with an industries, you can have a better feel for the position that interest you more from the inside of the company.\nI'm not saying minimize your education, but you can leave out bits of experience that may not seem like an asset to them. Sometimes less is more. \nThen build on your qualifications and abilities, to advance to positions you find more interesting.\n\nThere are auto resume builders available to walk you through how to put it all together in a professional manner, but using the format of resume examples on line should work well.\n\nI'll also say try to keep the pages to a 2 page minimum, after that HR loses interest.

Why are so many people prejudiced against long-haired men?

With all the "political correctness" and "anti-discrimination" laws these days, why is it still ok for an employer to refuse to hire a man with long hair, or ok to make him cut it? What's the difference between that and them requiring an overweight person to lose weight?

This is an issue that stems back from the 1960s.\n\nAs you may or may not have known, during the 1960s, America suffered huge cultural and social changes. One of them was the rise of the Hippie Movement and Youthquake, which went against what people at the time-- especially Conservatives-- considered "moral", "traditional", and "upstanding."\n\nBesides the obvious sex, drugs, and rock and roll they indulged in, Hippies also dressed and changed their appearances in ways that offended Conservatives and the Establishment at the time. One of the things they did (the males) was grow out their hair and start growing beards and mustaches at a time when men were expected to be cleanshaven and have the shortest hair possible. As a result, any man who started growing his hair out became associated with the whole Hippie lifestyle and was seen as unfeminine, unAmerican, a derelict, and a subverstive.\n\nWhat you are seeing now is a holdover from those days. Many people still assume that men with long hair are in some kind of subversive lifestyle (drinking, partying, drugging, etc.). Either that, or they're just seen as stoners and slackers. Unfortunate type of prejudice, but it still remains there, nevertheless.

Hi Secret Eagle, You are already well versed with the patents and copyrights. The thing is that in case you want to make money, you got to Patent. However, patenting does involve a lot of money, generally people hire attorneys to make their case strong for consideration for a patent. In case you want to make money, you will have to shed some initially, but then looking at the mass usability of your invention, you can definitely get profit. \n\nHowever, I can suggest you a better and more cheaper alternative. I am from India. As a child, I too used to frequent out in science fairs, with models on Robots to Compression Algorithms winning some commendable prizes with IBM, Infosys, Department of Science and Technology, National Geographic, Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, etc. You can check them out at http://cs.dal.ca/~koul/\n\nIn government run fairs, there used to be a scheme, that all the inventions, models that have been shown, were protected by the government from copying, i.e. if someone saw an innovator's model in a fair and went home, copied the idea and went further to patent or market it, he could easily be penalized by the original innovator, through the support of your government. The government has been an earlier witness to the innovator's model and is responsile for its protection.\n\nAnother thing, you can sign a non disclosure aggrement with any party with whom you show the invention.\n\nIn case you are giving it in the public domain, I suggest you go to the appropriate officials in your country and do ask for some monetary benifits as you wish, looking at the benefit it will give to the common masses.

How long does it take for AIDS to show up on a blood test?

Three to six months from your last unsafe sexual experience is the amount of time you need to wait to get an HIV test. Depending on the source, you will get differing opinions about this "window" of time between infection and HIV antibody detection in a blood test. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends six months, some city and state health departments advise waiting two months, while the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC), the oldest and largest HIV and AIDS service organization in the world, suggests a three-month waiting period. Alice thinks that six months is a long time to wait for HIV test results, and a negative or positive test result three months after possible HIV exposure can be considered reliable, although not 100 percent accurate.

which fragrance/parfume du you prefere?

The dreamer by Versace\n\nWhen I was younger, I had a bottle of The Dreamer and I remember it as smelling a lot like a gin and tonic being sipped by a gentleman smoking a pipe. However, I couldn't quite understand the scent in those days and only wore it a handful of times before swapping away my beautiful bottle. Now however, I can detect the white floral note, and have a greater appreciation for that warm, rich, sweet tobacco base. I only wish there was some buttery leather in there! \n\nThe opening of the juniper and lily really help temper and develop the tobacco notes, and it is this lily note that I find most intriguing (lily? in a men's scent?) as it brings a cool freshness to the edges of the fragrance. Looking at the notes, I wonder where the iris is, as it's virtually undetectable to my nose. As the scent relaxes on the skin, the tobacco mellows and merges with the amber and the almost coconut-y tarragon note becomes apparent. The final effect of this combination of notes is almost soapy...and perfect! \n\nTruly unique, and a pleasure in the cooler months, The Dreamer is perhaps the best of Versace and I now think of it as fondly as a favorite sweater or blanket - warm and comforting.

Who made the first Army ever?

Do not tell religiously.

Before 3000 BCE (5,000 years ago) there was no record of wars. At that point in history, the human population reached 100 million, and wars became endemic, after the onset of nations trading with each other (and cheating, or because of piracy/stealing) and we humans have been in the constant state of war ever since...\n\nThere are no reliable records of a civilization indicating the presence of armies in Mesopotamia much earlier than 2500 BCE, not 3500 BCE as previously mentioned...

How do you know if you are truly bisexual?

Well the thing that tipped me off was that I was attracted to both genders. IF you want to make love to both genders that is a pretty big clue. ;)\n\nOK, that isn't at all scientific but let's look at it this way...\nIf you were only attracted to one gender you would be the appropriate inclination that went with that. Girls attracted to girls but not boys lesbian girls attacted to only boys hetero. \nSO... If you are hot for both you are bi. pretty simple actually.\n\nNow on top of all that. Why fret over it? All of these are just lables anyhow. Lables are for cloths not people. Just enjoy people that you are attracted to & don't get all worked up about it.

i need to know the kind of j2ee questions asked during a job interview?

Go to an interview for a job that you don't really care if you get it or not. Get the experience of an interview and then try to get an interview for the job you want. Most likely the j2ee questions would be different each time, depending on the person doing the interview. There is no point to prepare for something like that. If you know it then you answer, if not, you say you don't know. If you try to answer but you don't know...they will find out :)\nGood Luck

I'm dead last in a league of 12 teams, just traded Ben Wallace, Tyson Chandler and Joe johnson for Rasheed and Chauncey (trying to win FT, 3PT, AST, STL and 1 other cat in a 9 cat league). Any suggestions on what to improve/who to trade for?\n\nMy team:\nJason Kidd,\nChauncey Billups,\nRicky Davis,\nLarry Hughes,\nRasheed Wallace,\nCaron Butler,\nDeron Williams,\nRaef Lafrentz,\nDerek Fisher,\nDamon Jones,\nMelvin Ely,\nDesmond Mason,\nSean May,\nJames Jones,\nKareem Rush

Looks liek Ricky Davis fantasy value is dropping. So trade him while his value is still high.\n\nPackage some of ur guards for bigs like Elton Brand / Dwight Howard. You have way too many PGs that just shoot threes. trade them for Bigs.\n\nAlso try get rid of Larry Hughes for a PF such as Troy Murphy or Josh Smith.\n\nDrop Sean May for guys like Haywood/Przbillia if available.

the history on yellowstone national park?

The human history of the park dates back 12,000 years. It was known to the original natives as "Mitzi-a-dazi," the "River of Yellow Rocks," because of the hydrothermally altered iron-containing yellow rocks in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone (many people incorrectly believe that the yellow color is from sulfur).\n\nThe Native Americans that hunted and fished in the Yellowstone region also utilized the significant amounts of obsidian found in the park to make cutting tools and weapons. In fact, arrowheads made of Yellowstone obsidian have been found as far away as the Mississippi Valley, which strongly indicate that a regular obsidian trade existed between Yellowstone Native Americans and tribes further east.\n\n Lower Yellowstone FallIn 1806 a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition named John Colter left the Expedition to join a group of fur trappers and was probably the first non-Native American to visit the region and make contact with the Native Americans there. After surviving wounds he suffered in a battle with Crow and Blackfoot tribes, he gave a description of a place of "fire and brimstone" that was dismissed by most people as delirium. The supposedly imaginary place was nicknamed "Colter's Hell."\n\nMountain man Jim Bridger later returned from an 1857 expedition to the park's area and told tales of boiling springs, spouting water, a mountain of glass and yellow rock. These reports were largely ignored, however, because Bridger was known for being a "spinner of yarns." Nonetheless his stories did arouse the interest of explorer and geologist F.V. Hayden who in 1859 started a two-year survey of the upper Missouri River region with Bridger as a guide and with United States Army surveyor W.F. Raynolds. The party was able to reach the approaches to the Yellowstone region but was not able to go any further due to heavy snows. The intervening American Civil War stopped all attempts to explore the region, and Hayden would not be able to fulfill his mission to explore the area for another 11 years.\n\n North Gate to Yellowstone Park at Gardiner, Montana, which says "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People."A party of Montanans then organized the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition, headed by the surveyor-general of Montana Henry Washburn. Amongst the group was Nathaniel P. Langford, who would later become known as "National Park" Langford, and an Army detachment commanded by Lt. Gustavus Doane. The expedition spent about a month in 1870 exploring the region, collecting specimens and naming sites of interest.\n\nIn 1871 Hayden led a second, larger expedition, which was now government sponsored, to the Yellowstone region. He compiled a comprehensive report on Yellowstone which included large-format photographs by William Henry Jackson and paintings by Thomas Moran. This report helped to convince the U.S. Congress to withdraw this region from public auction. Then on March 1, 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill into law that created Yellowstone National Park.\n\nLangford then served for five years without pay as the first superintendent of the park and was followed by several other superintendents (who worked with some minimal funding). The second superintendent was Philetus Norris who essentially volunteered for the position, after traveling through Yellowstone and witnessing its problems first hand. During his tenure Congress finally began to give the superintendent a salary and minimal funds to operate the park. He used these monies to expand access to and further explore Yellowstone. Norris also hired Harry Yount (nicknamed "Rocky Mountain Harry") to control poaching and vandalism in the park. Today, Harry Yount is considered the very first national park ranger.\n\n Mammoth Hot SpringsThree additional superintendents followed, but none proved effective in stopping the destruction of Yellowstone's natural resources.\n

was there a civil war in el salvador?

Yes, from 1980 to 1992. Between the goverment and the Guerrillas, called FMLN (Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional).\n\nThe war took place in the rural areas of the country, but in 1990 there was a major attack to the capital (San Salvador), after this peace conversation started. A ceasefire was established in 1992 when the rebels of the FMLN and the government signed "Peace accords" on January 16, 1992 that assured political and military reforms and punishment for all human rights abuses during the civil war.

If I want to learn a second language what is the best one to start out with?

Spanish, not only for the reasons given by others, but for two others: it's a Latin language (so you have a good basis for French, Italian, etc.) and it's logical in its spelling (unlike French, which is very arbitrary.) If you're learning a language as a start towards learning more and to use in the US and Europe, it seems like the obvious choice.\n\nIf on the other hand, you want a mental challenge, Mandarin is so unlike any Western language in syntax, tones, etc. that you'll 'stretch' your mind a great deal. It will also prove increasingly useful as China moves more and more to a capitalist model.
