3,801	0Society & Culture	What is the traditional size of a Hachimaki (Japanese headband)?	I've been Googling and Yahooing all day to get the traditional or standard size of a Hachimaki, but there are so many different rubbish Hachimakis being made now that I can't find what the traditional size is. Anyone know?	The size of the Japanese hachimaki headband traditionally adorned for celebrations and festivals as a symbol of perserverance/effort, is a length of 85cm (33.4645669 inches.) The traditional width can vary, but is generally between 7cm (2.75590551 inches) and 8cm (3.1496063 inches.)\nThe hachimaki could be described as a wearable form of the popular American plaques, tee shirts and posters emblazoned with inspirational/motivational phrases. In modern-day Japan, the hachimaki is likely to be worn by proud employees at an office party, or by a new mother giving birth. It is popular to customize Hachimakis with a phrase that best describes the reason for wearing it. Coworkers might present an employee with a Hachimaki gift to commemorate his or her promotion.\nThough uncertain, the origin of the Hachimaki may be related to its being worn by religious practitioners of harsh self-denial who believed that this lifestyle, at death, would result in the relinquishing of the enthralled soul and lead to its ultimate unity with the divine.
3,802	4Computers & Internet	how can you tell if you have a spyware infection?		If your not blocking and scanning you probably have some. Your ISP probably provides free scanning and removal software call their tech support. Yahoo and other web outlets also offer free software. You may try Ad-Aware by lavasoft. I would recommend the solutions in the order listed above.
3,803	2Health	what should I take to improve my brain function?		Most research suggest that sleep might be the best remedy. That does not mean that you need to sleep 10 hrs a day. Just find the right balance for you. If you have the luxury to do so, go to bed at the same time every night and dont use an alarm. Your body will wake itself up when it needs to. Try to keep a regular routine so that your body does not over tire any day. Soon you will know how much sleep you need to get good rest and improve memory.\nAlso....drink loads of water and have a hearty breakfast\nCheers
3,804	4Computers & Internet	i am a cyber lawyer.what should i tell to a company that"'why they need a cyber lawyer like me"	i am a student of cyberlaw and information security. having 5 yers practise. i need to present my course as well as ourselve infront of companies, that they need people like us for their company for exploring new areas and legal security.	I tend to listen more when the person telling me that I "need" them can offer short vignettes or case studies. In other words, present examples of things that happened to a company like mine and explain how you could have made things all better.
3,805	5Sports	what is the name of the song when the green bay packers score a touchdown?		"Wow I can't believe we scored"
3,806	5Sports	Who Will win the word cup?	I'll say it's Brazil,I don't think anyonw will catch up.	Every time, some not so great team turns out to be excellent, so we can expect surprises! And it would be more interesting that way!\nMy heart is with Serbia&Montenegro, but my head says Brazil!
3,807	4Computers & Internet	Are you responsibal for all these popups?One every minute.If I can't get rid of these Iwill change CO.TO DO SO		If you're having lots of popups, you probably have some sort of spyware installed. Try installing the programs linked below and scanning your computer to see if they find anything.
3,808	3Education & Reference	what is the easiest language to learn?		It depends on what your native language is. If you speak english, the easiest languages to learn are going to be french, spanish or italian. That's because all of these languages derived from latin so they have form, structure, and even many words in common (or notably similar). However, if your native language was vietnamese it would probably be easier for you to learn chinese than italian.
3,809	5Sports	Has any NBA player ever outscored an opposing team by the third quarter of the game?		That's happened a few times. But the most notable one was clearly Wilt Chamberlain.

3,811	4Computers & Internet	Why don't people use DVI on LCD monitors only?	I read so many reviews of LCD monitors for gaming and hear how badly the monitor "ghosts". When are folks going to realize that using the VGA connector is what causes the majority of that problem? With VGA you go digital->analog->digital. Using DVI it's pure digital all the way, which eliminates the majority of LCD gaming problem.. I'd like to see the manufacturer's stop making LCD's with analog ports on them. Then the stupid reviews would stop.	Good point. I have both VGA and DVI monitors and definitely notice the difference. The DVI monitor I bought was very carefully chosen to minimize its price but even then I paid a $50-$100 premium for it over VGA monitors. Which is weird since VGA must convert to digital to show the image whereas DVI doesn't so it sounds like less components are involved in DVI compared to VGA - go figure. DVI is too complicated for dumb product & technology reviewers to notice, hence its relative unpopularity compared to VGA. At least we're seeing video card manufacturers supplying S-Video, VGA, and DVI for their cards so that consumers are given greater flexibility. If we can get consumers stop solely considering Dell and HP for their monitors, then we should see DVI becoming more popular (and cheaper).
3,812	9Politics & Government	How can I find out if there is an arrest warrant for someone listed in the police computers in another state?		Call the police in that state.
3,813	6Business & Finance	Why do people counterfeit bills instead of coins? Wouldn't that be easier and safer for criminals?		The vlaue that a coin holds is much less. So I think it owuld not be worth the effort and money that might go into counterfeiting coins. you would need a lotttt of coins if you want to do that on a very large scale.\n\nHowever, for bills, once you have the paper and printing taken care of, you can virtually do this for any amount as the higher values are avialable only on bills.
3,814	6Business & Finance	what came first? egg or chicken?		Everything started from nothing, so why go any deeper?
3,815	6Business & Finance	why doesnt the us import more canadian oil?		because most oil that comes from canada is in the form of "tar sands" which require a lot of relatively-expensive processing to clean the oil up enough to be usable. this has meant that buying oil from alberta was dumb because it cost so much, around $50-60/bbl. until the last year or so this was way above the market price for crude, but nowadays this is changing. alberta is set to get rich as oil prices climb higher and higher!
3,816	6Business & Finance	what shouldi do if i hav suicidal thoughts?	what should i do if i have suicidal thoughts	Call 911 to get in contact with a suicide hotline.

Do it now if you are thinking about hurting yourself. I mean RIGHT THIS MINUTE! AS SOON AS YOU FINISH READING THIS.

3,822	8Family & Relationships	How do you ask a guy if he likes you, without sounding akward or desperate?		Tell him what you are feeling looking at his eyes. Otherwise, he would think that you might just want to go out with anybody, and that's when you sound desperate and akward.
3,823	3Education & Reference	what is a female archetype?		An Archetype is a model of behaviour or pattern of energy that is easily recognisable and resonant to human beings. We can identify with and relate to archetypes as they are primary characters or personalities of the human condition.\n\n\nArchetypes are everywhere. They are played out in fairy tales, movies, books, TV shows, in our families, our work environments and amongst our friends.\n\nSnow white (Princess) is an archetype, Homer Simpson (Fool) is an archetype... so is Mother, Father, Son and Daughter. We instantly recognise what these roles are and how they are supposed to behave .\n\nSo the term Feminine Archetype refers to models or patterns of womanhood and feminine behaviour that are easily recognisable to us.

3,825	1Science & Mathematics	how does nuclear fission work and how's that different from nuclear fussion?		the nuclear fision is mainly carried out in an atomic reactor. It is an process in which a nucleus of heavy atoms like Uranium splits into two nuclei of smaller masses and a large amount of energy is produced. This energy is known as nuclear energy.\nThe Nuclear Fusion is the process in which the nuclei of two different elements fuse or combine to form one and huge amount of energy is produced. This process takes place in Sun.
3,826	6Business & Finance	If one person kills another person, is it right to kill the killer? It makes you just as bad, doesn't it?		Depends on your morals and perspective. As a Christian I'm supposed to love my neighbor as myself, but the law says they that live by the sword shall be slain by the sword, but the moral dilema presented by that is abrogated by the fact that vengence is mine says the lord. Justice will be found, whether or not it needs to be in human hands is debateable

3,830	2Health	Can you have HPV virus and still have a normal pap smear?	I was just diagnosed with HPV virus. I had a pap smear in October of last year and wasn't diagnosed with it then. I want to know if it's possible that I had it and it didn't show up in the pap smear. If it is possible, how likely is it that that could have happened.	It is possible.\n\nAlso, it can take up to 5 years after you are infected with HPV before it shows up on a pap smear.\n\nTalk to your GYN for more specific information including percentages.

3,832	2Health	I want contacts and my parents think i am to young to have them?		Get online and do the research about contacts. (How much they cost, etc.) Then ask them again, but know what your talking about. If they still say no you will have to respect that.
3,833	0Society & Culture	Why does dumb today mean stupid, when itinitially meant only inable to speak?		It would appear that the influence of German culture and language is responsible for this change in meaning. German has a similar and related word "dumm" that means "stupid," and over time, with the influx of German immigrants to the United States, it came to influence the meaning of the similar English word. This is one of many marks left by German on American English.
3,834	0Society & Culture	if you dont get what you want for christmas does than mean Santa hates you?	List the worst thing you've done this year putting you on Santa's naughty list.

Try cleaning it using the TweakNow Registry Cleaner. Its safe and I have used it without problems (I hope you have Windows XP). Another thing is you can increase system resources. The following website provides good tips on doing so without adding RAM. If the above steps don't help, add more memory (RAM) to your computer. Happy Holidays!
3,837	8Family & Relationships	How easy/difficult is to find a friend w/ 'benefits'?		The easiest process that I would suggest is to convert one of your exes that you can stomach. Use that as a starting point to get into the swing of it until you are more comfortable with the concept. Just make sure they aren't confusing the situation with the possibility of getting back together. that can be messy.
3,838	3Education & Reference	what is single phase?		Single phase usually refers to AC power. The voltage and current in AC power alternates, and when plotted it will look similar to a sine wave. Commercial AC power is generated and transmitted in three phases, 120 degrees apart. So single phase is one of those phases. Homes almost always have only one phase, comercial locations can have three phases.
3,839	4Computers & Internet	What are RSS feeds and how do I use them?		RSS stands for "Really Simple Syndication" (or "Rich Site Summary" if you are a nerd.)

3,842	4Computers & Internet	Can I hide my website from Google if...?	...it never has an external link to it?\n\nFor example, if I never have a link to it from a website that Google crawls, will google ever find my website?\n\nAny sources will be appreciated.	I have to assume that you are trying to hide a website (or certain pages) from ALL search engines, not just Google (although I will cover both situations). \n\nTo restrict search engines, both in general and specifically, you may use a simple text file named "robots.txt" placed in the root (main) directory for your website.\n\nTo block all search engines from crawling your website make a new file called "robots.txt" and put the following lines of text inside:\n\n user-agent: \n disallow: /\n\nThe "user-agent" line would include all crawlers, while the "disallow" line would include everything from the main directory.\n\nIn order to block just Google (whose crawler is called googlebot) use the following:\n\n user-agent: googlebot\n disallow: /\n\nYou can guess that if you want specific pages to be blocked from crawlers just change the disallow line to the specific page instead of "/":\n\n user-agent: \n disallow: mypersonalpage.htm\n\nThe above would block all crawlers from "mypersonalpage.htm" located in the root (main) directory.\n\n user-agent: *\n disallow: /secretstuff/\n\nThe last example would keep crawlers out of the entire directory "secretstuf"--no files at all in that directory will show up on the search engines. The trailing "/" marks the item as a directory.\n\nFor more detailed information as well as more links to even further information, check out the sources link below.

3,844	5Sports	Why is the Stanford Men's Basketball team so bad this year?		Its one of those years, you know. Knocking off top ten U Dub, barely losing to Gonzaga. At 12-9, it's not great but then again, they're not out of it. A game and a half back of UCLA in the conference and still with a shot at 18,19 wins. We'll see.
3,845	2Health	Does being a vegetarian cause male impotence?	a friend of mine is a vegetarian and says that he has noticed that it has become harder for him a get/maintain an erection...the only change he has made in past few years has been his diet...i have heard in the winds that this may be the cause...any takers? P.S. It really is a friend I am definatley a female.	I think this is highly doubtful. You don't need to eat animal flesh in order to maintain your body. You can not only can derive complex carbohydrates and fiber from plant foods, but plenty of protein and fat.\n\nIf what your friend says is true, I would imagine his problem is unrelated to his diet.

I want to congratulate you on your wonderful decision to homeschool your child. \n\nSheri
3,850	8Family & Relationships	were could you find a good girlfriend?		Its all about trial and error. I don't think there a particular way to find a "good girlfriend" And it also depends on what qualities you are looking for in a woman. \nI wouldn't suggest bar or night clubs. Rather try meeting people through activities that interest you, for example, if your into reading or books, you could join a book club, or if you enjoy fitness you can take a class. This way you are more likely to meet someone with similar interest as yours.
3,851	6Business & Finance	if we didn't have a death penalty, what to do you with the prisoner?		You need to make sure that they have basic needs such as safety, food, clothing, shelter, basic medical care and some small opportunity for them to learn something or improve themselves.\n\nYes it's costly but disposing of people should not be easy to do. If a society has so many people locked up that they can't afford to keep them alive with their basic needs met, then maybe they should be locking less people up.

NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) has for 50 years. See first link below.
3,859	0Society & Culture	Do Christians really believe that all life started after adam and eve?	Do they believe in prehistoric time and dinosaurs etc	There's no good way to answer this question. There are millions of Christians belonging to thousands of demoninations, etc. \n\nMany Christians believe in the generally accepted scientific explanation of the age of the eart and certainly believe that there were dinosaurs millions of years ago. Many other Christians take a very literal reading of the King James Version of the Bible and believe that the world is less than 6000 years old and that if dinosaurs ever lived, they must have lived at the same time as humans. There are probably as many different viewpoints about this as there are Christians.\n\nA better question might be, What does xxx denomination teach about creation or evolution? The Catholic church accepts evolution as does the United Methodist protestant faith. Some denominations feel much more strongly about this than others. \n\nIn short, there's just not one answer to your question.
3,860	4Computers & Internet	how do i download music into my library?		There are various online music stores such as the iTunes music store or Yahoo! music. You can get legal music from there and use their programs to manage your music on your computer, like iTunes. From without that program you can buy music and transfer it to various devices, such as an iPod.
3,861	0Society & Culture	Why does science and religion conflict with each other so much?		Old Goat is correct. It would help to know specifics. But consider just ONE example. The book of Job is the oldest book in the Bible. It even predates Moses. So, in that period of time, how did other cultures view the earth? Flat, supported by Atlas or giant elephants... But look what it reads in the book of Job... "God hangs the earth on nothing." And in Isaiah it reads, "It is God who sits above the circle of the earth." That word "circle" in Hebrew is ball or sphere. So if people poopoo the Bible with their lofty scientific thinking, they have probably not even read the Bible to check. I know scientists who have read the Bible, and are amazed at how accurate it is.\n\nWe know that all matter is made up of atoms and electrons. I nor any scientist has ever seen an electron. But because of scientific study, we know they exist. The Bible reads in Hebrews 11:3...\n\n"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."\n\nSo the only conflict comes when secular scientist blow off the Bible without cause. I have many other examples.
3,862	3Education & Reference	does a university have better education than community college?	i want to go to a university soon but its expensive, so i want to know if community colleges are the right choice for at least the first year or so.	Yes, i think they have more oppurtunities
3,863	3Education & Reference	what is tsunami?and how is it caused?		A tsunami (pronounced soo-nah-mee or tsoo-nah-mee [ IPA /suˈnɑːmi/ or /tsuˈnɑːmi/]) is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and large meteorite impacts all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to devastating.\n\nThe term tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour ("tsu", 津) and wave ("nami", 波 or 浪). Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singular and plural, in English tsunamis is well-established as the plural. The term was created by fishermen who returned to port to find the area surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water. A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometres long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing "hump" in the ocean.\n\nTsunamis have been historically referred to as tidal waves because as they approach land they take on the characteristics of a violent onrushing tide rather than the sort of cresting waves that are formed by wind action upon the ocean (with which people are more familiar). However, since they are not actually related to tides the term is considered misleading and its usage is discouraged by oceanographers.\n\nFor more information on a tsunami, visit:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami

3,865	6Business & Finance	Why is there tears when we yawn?		Tears drain away from each eye along two channels marked by a tiny opening at the inner edge of each lid. The channels lead to the lacrimal sac at the side of the nose, which is why your nose runs when you cry. Yawning exerts pressure on the lacrimal sac causing normal tearing.

3,868	9Politics & Government	why do we pay polititans? nothing good ever comes from them?		We pay politians because they are the ones that set their salaries. If you where your own boss, wouldnt you give yourself a salary of 100,000+ dollars a year even when your not in office?
3,869	2Health	Why does your nose run when it's cold?		The sinus inside the nose builds up from the lack of warm oxygen. Thus, when you are in a cold area, you feel the clogging of your nose and eventually you will have snot.\n\nIf your nose is runny,\nAnd you think its funny,\nWell, it's snot.\n\n- ICE, Gaylord Palms FL

3,871	7Entertainment & Music	I heard that Hilary Duff was getting into fights with other female celebrities. Does anyone know anything?	She is a favorite of my daughter and I want to keep an eye on who she is looking up to. I need to know if this is just a bunch of hype or if I should try to discourage my daughter from idolizing her.	Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff were supposedly fighting over Aaron Carter, but they've both moved on since then. You can't stop your daughter from idolizing who she wants, but you can use this as an opportunity to talk about your values and how you might expect her to act in similar circumstances.\n\nI'd be more concerned about her looking up to someone who dropped such a dramatic amount of weight so quickly!

(the icons next to your clock, even though you may not use all of them, it represents a program that is indeed running currently.) think of them as helper applications, the programmer wants you to find their program quickly, and want you to be able to use it quickly. the easiest solution is just to make it run all the time, waiting for you to use it. the more of these 'helper apps' there are, the more your computer will slow down. this applies to any computer windows, mac, whatever...

Seals are open to all active duty Navy men. \n\nThe process of becoming a Seal for what its worth seems easier, (Time and paperwork wise, not physically) however Seals get all the perks. \n\nWhen it comes to Seals you get everything from un-FDA regulated performace enhancers, to pills that make you not have to sleep. Aside from that you get extensive weapon training and the possiblity to earn more confirmed kills. \n\nDeltas usually return to normal duties after war, however Seals return to thier commands (NAVY SPEC WAR BUDGET WAS 2 Billion Last year) They get great duty station choices, and the respect that comes with being a Seal. \n\nWhen Seals walk around in uniform, they are celebrities within the Navy.

What is the traditional size of a Hachimaki (Japanese headband)?

I've been Googling and Yahooing all day to get the traditional or standard size of a Hachimaki, but there are so many different rubbish Hachimakis being made now that I can't find what the traditional size is. Anyone know?

The size of the Japanese hachimaki headband traditionally adorned for celebrations and festivals as a symbol of perserverance/effort, is a length of 85cm (33.4645669 inches.) The traditional width can vary, but is generally between 7cm (2.75590551 inches) and 8cm (3.1496063 inches.)\nThe hachimaki could be described as a wearable form of the popular American plaques, tee shirts and posters emblazoned with inspirational/motivational phrases. In modern-day Japan, the hachimaki is likely to be worn by proud employees at an office party, or by a new mother giving birth. It is popular to customize Hachimakis with a phrase that best describes the reason for wearing it. Coworkers might present an employee with a Hachimaki gift to commemorate his or her promotion.\nThough uncertain, the origin of the Hachimaki may be related to its being worn by religious practitioners of harsh self-denial who believed that this lifestyle, at death, would result in the relinquishing of the enthralled soul and lead to its ultimate unity with the divine.

Why don't people use DVI on LCD monitors only?

I read so many reviews of LCD monitors for gaming and hear how badly the monitor "ghosts". When are folks going to realize that using the VGA connector is what causes the majority of that problem? With VGA you go digital->analog->digital. Using DVI it's pure digital all the way, which eliminates the majority of LCD gaming problem.. I'd like to see the manufacturer's stop making LCD's with analog ports on them. Then the stupid reviews would stop.

Good point. I have both VGA and DVI monitors and definitely notice the difference. The DVI monitor I bought was very carefully chosen to minimize its price but even then I paid a $50-$100 premium for it over VGA monitors. Which is weird since VGA must convert to digital to show the image whereas DVI doesn't so it sounds like less components are involved in DVI compared to VGA - go figure. DVI is too complicated for dumb product & technology reviewers to notice, hence its relative unpopularity compared to VGA. At least we're seeing video card manufacturers supplying S-Video, VGA, and DVI for their cards so that consumers are given greater flexibility. If we can get consumers stop solely considering Dell and HP for their monitors, then we should see DVI becoming more popular (and cheaper).

what is a female archetype?

An Archetype is a model of behaviour or pattern of energy that is easily recognisable and resonant to human beings. We can identify with and relate to archetypes as they are primary characters or personalities of the human condition.\n\n\nArchetypes are everywhere. They are played out in fairy tales, movies, books, TV shows, in our families, our work environments and amongst our friends.\n\nSnow white (Princess) is an archetype, Homer Simpson (Fool) is an archetype... so is Mother, Father, Son and Daughter. We instantly recognise what these roles are and how they are supposed to behave .\n\nSo the term Feminine Archetype refers to models or patterns of womanhood and feminine behaviour that are easily recognisable to us.

This is one of many marks left by German on American English.

Can I hide my website from Google if...?

...it never has an external link to it?\n\nFor example, if I never have a link to it from a website that Google crawls, will google ever find my website?\n\nAny sources will be appreciated.

I have to assume that you are trying to hide a website (or certain pages) from ALL search engines, not just Google (although I will cover both situations). \n\nTo restrict search engines, both in general and specifically, you may use a simple text file named "robots.txt" placed in the root (main) directory for your website.\n\nTo block all search engines from crawling your website make a new file called "robots.txt" and put the following lines of text inside:\n\n user-agent: *\n disallow: /\n\nThe "user-agent" line would include all crawlers, while the "disallow" line would include everything from the main directory.\n\nIn order to block just Google (whose crawler is called googlebot) use the following:\n\n user-agent: googlebot\n disallow: /\n\nYou can guess that if you want specific pages to be blocked from crawlers just change the disallow line to the specific page instead of "/":\n\n user-agent: *\n disallow: mypersonalpage.htm\n\nThe above would block all crawlers from "mypersonalpage.htm" located in the root (main) directory.\n\n user-agent: *\n disallow: /secretstuff/\n\nThe last example would keep crawlers out of the entire directory "secretstuf"--no files at all in that directory will show up on the search engines. The trailing "/" marks the item as a directory.\n\nFor more detailed information as well as more links to even further information, check out the sources link below.

Does being a vegetarian cause male impotence?

a friend of mine is a vegetarian and says that he has noticed that it has become harder for him a get/maintain an erection...the only change he has made in past few years has been his diet...i have heard in the winds that this may be the cause...any takers? P.S. It really is a friend I am definatley a female.

I think this is highly doubtful. You don't need to eat animal flesh in order to maintain your body. You can not only can derive complex carbohydrates and fiber from plant foods, but plenty of protein and fat.\n\nIf what your friend says is true, I would imagine his problem is unrelated to his diet.

were could you find a good girlfriend?

Its all about trial and error. I don't think there a particular way to find a "good girlfriend" And it also depends on what qualities you are looking for in a woman. \nI wouldn't suggest bar or night clubs. Rather try meeting people through activities that interest you, for example, if your into reading or books, you could join a book club, or if you enjoy fitness you can take a class. This way you are more likely to meet someone with similar interest as yours.

Do Christians really believe that all life started after adam and eve?

Do they believe in prehistoric time and dinosaurs etc

There's no good way to answer this question. There are millions of Christians belonging to thousands of demoninations, etc. \n\nMany Christians believe in the generally accepted scientific explanation of the age of the eart and certainly believe that there were dinosaurs millions of years ago. Many other Christians take a very literal reading of the King James Version of the Bible and believe that the world is less than 6000 years old and that if dinosaurs ever lived, they must have lived at the same time as humans. There are probably as many different viewpoints about this as there are Christians.\n\nA better question might be, What does xxx denomination teach about creation or evolution? The Catholic church accepts evolution as does the United Methodist protestant faith. Some denominations feel much more strongly about this than others. \n\nIn short, there's just not one answer to your question.

Why does science and religion conflict with each other so much?

Old Goat is correct. It would help to know specifics. But consider just ONE example. The book of Job is the oldest book in the Bible. It even predates Moses. So, in that period of time, how did other cultures view the earth? Flat, supported by Atlas or giant elephants... But look what it reads in the book of Job... "God hangs the earth on nothing." And in Isaiah it reads, "It is God who sits above the circle of the earth." That word "circle" in Hebrew is ball or sphere. So if people poopoo the Bible with their lofty scientific thinking, they have probably not even read the Bible to check. I know scientists who have read the Bible, and are amazed at how accurate it is.\n\nWe know that all matter is made up of atoms and electrons. I nor any scientist has ever seen an electron. But because of scientific study, we know they exist. The Bible reads in Hebrews 11:3...\n\n"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear."\n\nSo the only conflict comes when secular scientist blow off the Bible without cause. I have many other examples.

what is tsunami?and how is it caused?

A tsunami (pronounced soo-nah-mee or tsoo-nah-mee [ IPA /suˈnɑːmi/ or /tsuˈnɑːmi/]) is a series of waves generated when water in a lake or the sea is rapidly displaced on a massive scale. Earthquakes, landslides, volcanic eruptions and large meteorite impacts all have the potential to generate a tsunami. The effects of a tsunami can range from unnoticeable to devastating.\n\nThe term tsunami comes from the Japanese language meaning harbour ("tsu", 津) and wave ("nami", 波 or 浪). Although in Japanese tsunami is used for both the singular and plural, in English tsunamis is well-established as the plural. The term was created by fishermen who returned to port to find the area surrounding the harbour devastated, although they had not been aware of any wave in the open water. A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometres long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing "hump" in the ocean.\n\nTsunamis have been historically referred to as tidal waves because as they approach land they take on the characteristics of a violent onrushing tide rather than the sort of cresting waves that are formed by wind action upon the ocean (with which people are more familiar). However, since they are not actually related to tides the term is considered misleading and its usage is discouraged by oceanographers.\n\nFor more information on a tsunami, visit:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsunami

Tears drain away from each eye along two channels marked by a tiny opening at the inner edge of each lid. The channels lead to the lacrimal sac at the side of the nose, which is why your nose runs when you cry. Yawning exerts pressure on the lacrimal sac causing normal tearing.

Does a G4 Apple get slower as more programs are installed, but not running, like Windows does?

i computer does not become slower simply from having lots of programs installed. consequently however, it is the trend that once a program is installed it will have a program start every time your computer does. (the icons next to your clock, even though you may not use all of them, it represents a program that is indeed running currently.) think of them as helper applications, the programmer wants you to find their program quickly, and want you to be able to use it quickly. the easiest solution is just to make it run all the time, waiting for you to use it. the more of these 'helper apps' there are, the more your computer will slow down. this applies to any computer windows, mac, whatever...

In my previous posting, I mistakenly typed-in Green Berets when I really meant Delta Force. Great responses anyway!

Navy Seals as well as Deltas all have the capability to insert by sea air or land. However Delta's in by invitation only. Meaning not just anyone can become a Delta. Seals are open to all active duty Navy men. \n\nThe process of becoming a Seal for what its worth seems easier, (Time and paperwork wise, not physically) however Seals get all the perks. \n\nWhen it comes to Seals you get everything from un-FDA regulated performace enhancers, to pills that make you not have to sleep. Aside from that you get extensive weapon training and the possiblity to earn more confirmed kills. \n\nDeltas usually return to normal duties after war, however Seals return to thier commands (NAVY SPEC WAR BUDGET WAS 2 Billion Last year) They get great duty station choices, and the respect that comes with being a Seal. \n\nWhen Seals walk around in uniform, they are celebrities within the Navy. The Gold Trident can be seen from 100 meters away. The girls are all over them. I dont know about Deltas, however I would rather be a SEAL.

Why is cloning unethical?

Is cloning actually unethical or is it a idea hyped up by sci-fi movies?

A human clone, if succesful, is just a twin of the original person (but younger). That's seems morally legitimate. But today the success rate would be very low; some of the failures would be horrible birth defects. So it would be unethical to attempt cloning a human today. Eventually, if it could be done reliably, it would be ethical (but getting there from here seems awfully difficult).
