4,201	9Politics & Government	Does the bailiff observe jury deliberations amd make sure juors only consider legally relevant evidence.?		No one but a juror may be in the jury deliberation room. This is why it is so important that the judge determine what evidence is admissible before the trial begins. If a juror believes other jurors are considering irrelevant evidence, the juror should inform the judge, who would instruct them of their consitutional responsibility and so forth. If a judge believes a jury did not consider the evidence properly, he/she can vacate the verdict, which is very rarely done, for obvious reasons.

4,206	6Business & Finance	How come you people keep on asking if God is real or not!?	He is real!!!!	What the question should be is why is it some people who believe in GOD are so judgemental over others beliefs? Some folks are simply trying to find thier own path, and may be eclectic.

We always have fun together and we are exclusive. He wants to continue dating me but will not make me his official girlfriend until he feels those 3 little words for me. Should I stay or should I go?	Girl,\nI am in a similar situation. You have to decide if he is "using" you as a safety net of sorts or just settling until something better comes along. Also, because I do not know the entire situation, you have to ask your self if he could also be using you for monetary gains, etc. No matter the situation, if you are not 100% happy, you should walk. You are more important and your happiness is too.

4,217	0Society & Culture	Is it true that if we're not careful, America will soon become a communist country?	According to Karl Marx's list of ten things needed to become a communist country the U.S has applied-in one form or another- nine of them.	"America" is not a country, it's a continent formed by three sub-continents (north, central and south america).\n\nNow about the question, since it's about the USA... Marx's wrote his works more than 100 years ago, with Germany in mind (the fact that Russia was the place where the revolution took place and was successful is still a high topic among historians) --by then, the USA was an underdeveloped country, without a big proletarian base or an industrial/urban developed production system, which was the requested condition for the revolution (again, Russia was a contradiction to this request). Therefore, you cannot apply Marx's theory 'directly' to a country today. The capitalist system has developed internal restraints and "decompressing" mechanisms that ensure that, even when the inequality and the poverty or the income distribution are ignominious, the system is not under danger of disruption.\n\nCapitalism, as Marx said, might have the seed of self destruction, but it also has selfpreservation mechanisms (corporations, NGOs, formal democracy --even in non-democratic countries--). Also, it offers what some people might call a 'messianic' or 'religious' promise: the best of the worlds is here, on earth and while you are alive, and you need money and success to attain it (I am talking about the protestant capitalism, not the catholic one, which came later): therefore, the success of capitalism is guaranteed by the fact that the lower classes want to become middle class, and middle class wants to become high class. This ensures all of them, especially the middle class, is ultra-conservative, fighting to keep the status-quo, so they can (someday) be high-class and enjoy what the system promises (of course, the status-quo needs to be based on inequality, so you have classes and people fight to escalate in the social chain).\n\nwhat do I know?...

4,219	6Business & Finance	Ethical question: Got something, how do you say "thanks but no thanks"?	I got an XM satellite radio player for my car. Its pretty cool. I bought a brand new MP3 player in October, and all I asked for was a napster subscription. But my parents thought XM radio would have more of the music that I like. But it doesn't even have the music I really like. I am more into the indie/emo music, and XM really doesn't have an outlet for it. I would have rather had the 15/month napster subscription than the 20/month satellite radio. What should I say to my parents?\n\n-daniel	Say thanks, and if you need to take it back, ask them if they got a gift receipt. If they have one, then politely explain to them that you'd really like a napster subscription better, and so you'd like to exchange it. It's not a big deal unless you make it one.

4,222	5Sports	Tubby Smith lost Randolph Morris' fax?	Quoting from an AP article on Yahoo:\n\n"Kentucky provided the NCAA the original copy of a fax sent by Morris to Smith, notifying the coach of his plans to enter the draft. In the one-paragraph fax -- released by the university on Thursday -- Morris told Smith that 'my intent is not to obtain an agent so as to maintain my collegiate eligibility.'\n\nSmith said he had misplaced the fax and only found it last week."\n\nRead that last sentence again. He misplaced the fax? How does that happen? I'm a big fan of UK, and I don't hate Tubby Smith as bad as most others in the Big Blue Nation right now, but come on! Is there any excuse for this?	It should not be put on a coach to keep a fax. How many faxes and messages to they get on a day. The Player is the one that is responsible for his eligibility. They do also have a NCAA advisor at the university that should have received that fax. The fax to the coach informative only for his intent. He is lucky that the NCAA gave him back a the rest of this season.

4,224	5Sports	how is the american dream in the 1920's different then the american dream in 2005?		People are more greedy nowadays, and many have less of a work ethic. The American Dream isn't different, it's the things involved with the American Dream. Back then, the American Dream was too pretty much work hard and earn yourself a good living. Nowadays many people have a less work ethic, and the American Dream isn't too hard to achieve if you have some kind of special talent (Sports, music, etc.) You can also achieve the American Dream nowadays by becoming a good counterfeiter or becoming one of the main men in the drug trade. People have developed less of a work ethic and it shows. Thats how.

4,244	9Politics & Government	how can i pass proxy filteration in internet?		There are only two ways around that, I think.\nFirst, is not to connect behind a proxy, but rather directly to a server, or have your own server. This possibility is becoming easier every day.\nSecond, to have control over that proxy, if you are connected behind it. But of course, that really depends on the circumstances, and on who actually owns the proxy and the server above it.

4,247	9Politics & Government	How can I report a postal worker for thieft and misconduct?	I moved here two and a half years ago and I've paid for my post office box on far to many occassions. At first I just let it slide saying to myself "I'ts only $20.00" but then I realized, if it's being done to me than who else has fallen victim to this seemingly sweet kind good natured gal? So I'm searching my heart and my computer for the right answer. I question my faith and obediance to God first and know that I cannot afford to be unforgiving, however I have given my shirt,skirt,and shoes to this woman and now it's got to stop. Sure you can get rich stealing other peoples money or mail, but you won't get to heaven being a liar (Check your Bible), what I'm saying has been written for centuries. My carnal nature would like to say a few words to her but the God I serve is busy enough cleaning up the mess I'v made I'd hate to ask him for forgivness for something I don't ever have to do. Vengance belongs to only God so I need not worry about what he has planned for her. JUST REPENT!	And try to stick to the subject when you do.

4,250	0Society & Culture	Why do Americans hate outsourcing?		I'm in the Satellite TV and Internet business and the outsourcing done by the satellite companies is not working out. My customers who call for support can not get it done unless they are speaking to an american technician, otherwise I am hearing constantly that they are on the phone for long periods of time with people who are apparently only marginally trained to deal with problems. So outsourcing is not working out in my experience and is only irritating the people who it's supposed to help.\n\nIt also takes away jobs from Americans who developed , and support many of these companies.
4,251	5Sports	how much do nascar drivers make even the bad drivers?		It is really unknown because unlike many sports, NASCAR and it's teams do not release contract information. Recently a couple of lawsuits made a few drivers contracts public information. These contracts gave the driver a base salary, then incentives. I believe it was Kasey Kahne's contract where he got a base of $3 million, and if he won he would get 45% of the the teams winnings, 2-5th he'd get 40%, 6-10 he'd get 30% and anyhting else was 25%. There were other bonuses for winning big races like the Daytona 500 and the Championship. It is widely thought that even on a bad team that if you are signed and scheduled to compete for a full season the least base you will make is $1 million.

Floaters are cells that have broken off from the inside of eye and float around in the vitreous humor.\n\nSee the links below for more information.

4,254	6Business & Finance	Who is Robbie Williams?	This name like I've heard before..	Robert Williams is an English pop singer. Williams' early pop career started with the hit boy band Take That. The band was formed in 1990 and proved to be highly successful, with 8 UK Number 1 singles to their credit. \n\nOut of all the members of Take That, Robbie Williams never really seemed to fit in. Roguishly handsome where his bandmates were merely cute, Williams was tougher and sexier than the rest, which made him more distinctive. He also fought regularly with the other members and their management, primarily because he was occasionally adverse to being so heavily packaged. So it didn't come as a surprise that he was the first to leave the band, departing early in the summer of 1995 to pursue a solo career; by some accounts, he was fired from the group. Although he was the first out of the gate, it took Williams awhile to get started.\n\n Williams released his first solo album, Life Thru a Lens, in 1997. The album became a big hit in Britain, prompting his second, I've Been Expecting You, in 1998. The Ego Has Landed, a U.S.-only compilation designed for breaking Williams to American audiences, was released stateside in the spring of 1999. Sing When You're Winning followed in late 2000, gaining success with the video hit "Rock DJ," while a big-band album of standards (Swing When You're Winning) appeared a year later. During 2002, Williams celebrated an enormous new contract with EMI (rumored to be upward of 80 million dollars), but suffered the loss of his longtime production partner, Guy Chambers. Escapology, the fifth Robbie Williams album (and the last including Chambers' input), sold millions of copies in Europe, though it failed to persuade American audiences. As a result, the 2003 concert record Live at Knebworth wasn't released in the States.\n\nIn 2002, the UK public voted Williams to be on the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons (at number 77). He was also voted 17th in Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons poll.\n\n\nFor more information on him, please refer to the following links :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Williams\nhttp://www.google.com/musica?aid=KIL_YZIrTEP&oi=musicr\n\nList of all 182 songs and lyrics :\nhttp://robbie-williams.lyrics-songs.com/ \n\nTo Watch his videos:\nhttp://www.mtv.com/music/artist/williams_robbie/artist.jhtml

My two children know I am the parent and they respect me and my wishes. My b/f and I have had a lot of problems due to the fact he allows his daugther to totally dictate what they do when she is visiting. I overheard her refer to me in a VERY vulgar way over the phone to him and he said nothing! I was very, profoundly insulted. What shoud I do? She is 11yrs old and very jealous of the relationship between me and her father.	you should get a good belt and invite her over and give her a good spanking.Enure no one can hear the trashing.\n\nEvery little girl needs discipline and that little brat is no different. \n\nI think first her father can not tolorate such behaviour not stopping her is effectively agreeing with her. Your boyfriend is a big part of this problem. Let him know you are very hurt by this and ask him to reprimand her when she cross the line.\n\nYou should try to build a good relationship with the brat,but don't become a friend you are an adult and you demand respect\n\nyou should also understand that the brat is jealous of you stealing her dad or replacing her mom, that hurts bad. I guess you should allow you to spend time with her talk to the brat and see how she feels, let the brat open up to you, you are not kissing ass but staking a mature and correct approach to the problem\n\nthis might tkae time so be paitent,however if you see that you are not making any progress and things are getting worst then you should allow her to spend time with her dad alone and have a miniture relationship wit the brat.\n\nyou should not be surprised by the use of the worrd "HOE" as she gets older into a teenage years you can expect bigger and nastier brawls right in your face.

While it first came to the attention of most of America by way of the December 18, 1997 episode of Seinfeld, the celebration of a holiday called Festivus is part of human history throughout the ages, most notably in ancient Rome, nineteenth-century California, and upstate New York in the 1960s.\n\nBy December 2004, when Allen Salkin's article about Festivus as a real holiday appeared in the New York Times, thousands of people around the world were celebrating Festivus with parties, grievance-airing, pole-erecting, beer-brewing and the invention of new Festivus rituals.\n\nFestivus is a non-denominational holiday that has no required rituals or totems, but many celebrants find the pole, the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength essential, especially those Festivus-friendly folk who adhere to the Seinfeld orthodoxy.\n\nFestivus Pole\n\nAn unadorned length of lusterless metal or something that looks like metal, this central totemic element of Festivus can be mighty or meek. Some poles are pinky-short and some tetherball-tall. Erected on a lawn, balanced in a coffee can near a photocopier, stuck in a pail of rocks in the living room or suspended from fishing line on the front porch. the pole symbolizes nothing.\n\nThe Airing of Grievances\n\nLike everything else Festivus, the AOG has evolved some wild variations, but the core of it remains lashing into others and the world about how they have been disappointments. This usually brings participants into a circle of sorts in which each takes turns excoriating friends, enemies, relatives, acquaintances and strangers. When all who care to have taken a turn griping, there is no required hugging or making up.\n\nFeats of Strength\n\nThe FOS generally follows the AOG. Under the Seinfeld orthodoxy, Festivus is not over until the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and pinned. While there is an undeniable classic elegance to this, real world Festivus practitioners have developed other cathartic methods of discharging pent-up energy against one's fellows, including thumb wrestling and washer tossing.
4,265	1Science & Mathematics	how many miles from earth to the moon?		238,855 miles give or take a couple miles (seriously, it varies)\n\nI used Frink to look it up. Frink is an incredibly handy calculation tool on the web.\n\n\nWikipedia says the moon is an average distance of 238,857 miles from the earth. I just checked with it to verify the accuracy of Frink, which looks pretty good.\n\nNeither the moon nor the Earth are perfectly round. In fact, the Earth is kind of pear-shaped and has some rather high mountain ranges on its surface.\n\nAfter you are done doing serious analysis of the moon you should play around with Frink; it is pretty amazing and has built-in constants defined in it for all kinds of measurements having to do with the earth and moon. It also makes it very easy to convert values to different units of measurement.

Before you go to the embassy you have to call them for an appointment schedule. And for example they tell you that your schedule will be on December blah blah blah on 10AM, so you go there 10 mins before 10AM only to find out that the people did not follow the schedule and came in earlier. And you have to wait in line. The embassy is tolerating the people who came ahead of their schedule. When it should not be, its not a first-come-first-serve basis, there is a freaking schedule!! and nobody seems to follow this.

4,285	1Science & Mathematics	For those that believe that the Big Bang created the universe, what existed before the Big Bang?		Several of the previous answers have some really good points. The truth is we don't have the mental capabilities yet to understand the size and extent of the universe, or even the amount of time it's been here. So it's at best a weak guess as to what was here before, if there was a before, but there has to be a before, at least in our own ways of thinking. It would probably take a few Einstien's to figure these things out. What I mean by that is someone who could think as far ahead in our time as he did in his time.\n\nThen, unfortunately, as has happened in every culture since they started looking at the moon, we come up with a God to explain what we can't explain and then we have wars and fights and judgement on others who don't accept this God. I guess we should go back to beheading people who try to figure things out instead of closing their mind and blaming it on God.

4,291	1Science & Mathematics	Is time continuous or discreet? Can we divide time into ever smaller units or is there a smallest time unit?		The normal answer, and the one which all conventional theories of physics are based on is that time is modelled as a real number. In relativity theory intervals of time are defined as a kind of generalised distance between two points in a 4-dimensional geometry. This 4-dimensional geometry (aka space-time) is defined using real numbers, resulting in distances always being real numbers, and so there ends up being no smallest distance.\n\nQuantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics have the same continuum underlying space and time, but the complication is that whilst time is continuous it is not possible to _measure_ time scales less than a certain amount. But still, the equations of the theory are still written in terms of differentIAL (c.f. difference) equations and are thus fundamentally continuous.\n\nThe impossibility of measuring suficiently small time scales has led _some_ theorists to consider the possibility that spacetime is actually a lattice of discrete points, thus making space and time fundamentally quantised. It has the advantage that if you make the additional assumption that the overall size of the universe is finite then integrals over the whole of space (which might not converge) end up being just finite sums, which always converge. Still, the theory has a long way to go simply to catch up with present-day theories, and is certainly not mainstream theoretical physics.

No, not at all!\n\nThey dont have to be the customers of the product legally.\nhowever, otherwise it would be very good and look good and if the actor is doing that after he has used it for some time. \n\nBut then do you really think that is the case.\n\nAdvertising is just the medium that uses the popularity of a celebrity to connect the consumer to the product, the connection comes out of the good will of the celebrity created elsewhere. \n\nHowever, this does not point to an underlying conflict related to ethics.\n\nMany celebrities have consciously said no to promotions that they thought were against their ethics, principles, or the image among the public. \n\nThis kind of self-regualtion is good and sets good examples.

In other words, they publish a book with the names that their customers have paid for, but frankly anyone could publish a book with any list of names in it. It has no real meaning.\n\nNaming stars is basically a scam.

If a judge believes a jury did not consider the evidence properly, he/she can vacate the verdict, which is very rarely done, for obvious reasons.

Is it true that if we're not careful, America will soon become a communist country?

According to Karl Marx's list of ten things needed to become a communist country the U.S has applied-in one form or another- nine of them.

"America" is not a country, it's a continent formed by three sub-continents (north, central and south america).\n\nNow about the question, since it's about the USA... Marx's wrote his works more than 100 years ago, with Germany in mind (the fact that Russia was the place where the revolution took place and was successful is still a high topic among historians) --by then, the USA was an underdeveloped country, without a big proletarian base or an industrial/urban developed production system, which was the requested condition for the revolution (again, Russia was a contradiction to this request). Therefore, you cannot apply Marx's theory 'directly' to a country today. The capitalist system has developed internal restraints and "decompressing" mechanisms that ensure that, even when the inequality and the poverty or the income distribution are ignominious, the system is not under danger of disruption.\n\nCapitalism, as Marx said, might have the seed of self destruction, but it also has selfpreservation mechanisms (corporations, NGOs, formal democracy --even in non-democratic countries--). Also, it offers what some people might call a 'messianic' or 'religious' promise: the best of the worlds is here, on earth and while you are alive, and you need money and success to attain it (I am talking about the protestant capitalism, not the catholic one, which came later): therefore, the success of capitalism is guaranteed by the fact that the lower classes want to become middle class, and middle class wants to become high class. This ensures all of them, especially the middle class, is ultra-conservative, fighting to keep the status-quo, so they can (someday) be high-class and enjoy what the system promises (of course, the status-quo needs to be based on inequality, so you have classes and people fight to escalate in the social chain).\n\nwhat do I know?...

Say thanks, and if you need to take it back, ask them if they got a gift receipt. If they have one, then politely explain to them that you'd really like a napster subscription better, and so you'd like to exchange it. It's not a big deal unless you make it one.

Tubby Smith lost Randolph Morris' fax?

Quoting from an AP article on Yahoo:\n\n"Kentucky provided the NCAA the original copy of a fax sent by Morris to Smith, notifying the coach of his plans to enter the draft. In the one-paragraph fax -- released by the university on Thursday -- Morris told Smith that 'my intent is not to obtain an agent so as to maintain my collegiate eligibility.'\n\nSmith said he had misplaced the fax and only found it last week."\n\nRead that last sentence again. He misplaced the fax? How does that happen? I'm a big fan of UK, and I don't hate Tubby Smith as bad as most others in the Big Blue Nation right now, but come on! Is there any excuse for this?

It should not be put on a coach to keep a fax. How many faxes and messages to they get on a day. The Player is the one that is responsible for his eligibility. They do also have a NCAA advisor at the university that should have received that fax. The fax to the coach informative only for his intent. He is lucky that the NCAA gave him back a the rest of this season.

how is the american dream in the 1920's different then the american dream in 2005?

People are more greedy nowadays, and many have less of a work ethic. The American Dream isn't different, it's the things involved with the American Dream. Back then, the American Dream was too pretty much work hard and earn yourself a good living. Nowadays many people have a less work ethic, and the American Dream isn't too hard to achieve if you have some kind of special talent (Sports, music, etc.) You can also achieve the American Dream nowadays by becoming a good counterfeiter or becoming one of the main men in the drug trade. People have developed less of a work ethic and it shows. Thats how.

why is frequent disconnections while catting onyahoo?

Connection is based on you ISP provider. Do you have a Wireless access? You might be getting interfered with. If its a dialup then those systems are inherantly slow. Might I suggest you do a ping test to actually see if you are having problems connecting to the net. Go under your start menu right click on that. Go to the run. Doubleclick that. When The run box comes up type in cmd <enter> When the next box comes up type in IPCONFIG <enter> This will give you your IP address for your Computer. Then type in ping www.yahoo.com -t\nthis will tell you if you have a good connection by the packets you recieve and the time to receive them. If you want to get out of this just type <ctrl> c That will get you back to beginning.

How can I report a postal worker for thieft and misconduct?

I moved here two and a half years ago and I've paid for my post office box on far to many occassions. At first I just let it slide saying to myself "I'ts only $20.00" but then I realized, if it's being done to me than who else has fallen victim to this seemingly sweet kind good natured gal? So I'm searching my heart and my computer for the right answer. I question my faith and obediance to God first and know that I cannot afford to be unforgiving, however I have given my shirt,skirt,and shoes to this woman and now it's got to stop. Sure you can get rich stealing other peoples money or mail, but you won't get to heaven being a liar (Check your Bible), what I'm saying has been written for centuries. My carnal nature would like to say a few words to her but the God I serve is busy enough cleaning up the mess I'v made I'd hate to ask him for forgivness for something I don't ever have to do. Vengance belongs to only God so I need not worry about what he has planned for her. JUST REPENT!

how much do nascar drivers make even the bad drivers?

It is really unknown because unlike many sports, NASCAR and it's teams do not release contract information. Recently a couple of lawsuits made a few drivers contracts public information. These contracts gave the driver a base salary, then incentives. I believe it was Kasey Kahne's contract where he got a base of $3 million, and if he won he would get 45% of the the teams winnings, 2-5th he'd get 40%, 6-10 he'd get 30% and anyhting else was 25%. There were other bonuses for winning big races like the Daytona 500 and the Championship. It is widely thought that even on a bad team that if you are signed and scheduled to compete for a full season the least base you will make is $1 million.

Who is Robbie Williams?

This name like I've heard before..

Robert Williams is an English pop singer. Williams' early pop career started with the hit boy band Take That. The band was formed in 1990 and proved to be highly successful, with 8 UK Number 1 singles to their credit. \n\nOut of all the members of Take That, Robbie Williams never really seemed to fit in. Roguishly handsome where his bandmates were merely cute, Williams was tougher and sexier than the rest, which made him more distinctive. He also fought regularly with the other members and their management, primarily because he was occasionally adverse to being so heavily packaged. So it didn't come as a surprise that he was the first to leave the band, departing early in the summer of 1995 to pursue a solo career; by some accounts, he was fired from the group. Although he was the first out of the gate, it took Williams awhile to get started.\n\n Williams released his first solo album, Life Thru a Lens, in 1997. The album became a big hit in Britain, prompting his second, I've Been Expecting You, in 1998. The Ego Has Landed, a U.S.-only compilation designed for breaking Williams to American audiences, was released stateside in the spring of 1999. Sing When You're Winning followed in late 2000, gaining success with the video hit "Rock DJ," while a big-band album of standards (Swing When You're Winning) appeared a year later. During 2002, Williams celebrated an enormous new contract with EMI (rumored to be upward of 80 million dollars), but suffered the loss of his longtime production partner, Guy Chambers. Escapology, the fifth Robbie Williams album (and the last including Chambers' input), sold millions of copies in Europe, though it failed to persuade American audiences. As a result, the 2003 concert record Live at Knebworth wasn't released in the States.\n\nIn 2002, the UK public voted Williams to be on the BBC's list of the 100 Greatest Britons (at number 77). He was also voted 17th in Channel 4's 100 Worst Britons poll.\n\n\nFor more information on him, please refer to the following links :\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robbie_Williams\nhttp://www.google.com/musica?aid=KIL_YZIrTEP&oi=musicr\n\nList of all 182 songs and lyrics :\nhttp://robbie-williams.lyrics-songs.com/ \n\nTo Watch his videos:\nhttp://www.mtv.com/music/artist/williams_robbie/artist.jhtml

My b/f and I have had a lot of problems due to the fact he allows his daugther to totally dictate what they do when she is visiting. I overheard her refer to me in a VERY vulgar way over the phone to him and he said nothing! I was very, profoundly insulted. What shoud I do? She is 11yrs old and very jealous of the relationship between me and her father.

you should get a good belt and invite her over and give her a good spanking.Enure no one can hear the trashing.\n\nEvery little girl needs discipline and that little brat is no different. \n\nI think first her father can not tolorate such behaviour not stopping her is effectively agreeing with her. Your boyfriend is a big part of this problem. Let him know you are very hurt by this and ask him to reprimand her when she cross the line.\n\nYou should try to build a good relationship with the brat,but don't become a friend you are an adult and you demand respect\n\nyou should also understand that the brat is jealous of you stealing her dad or replacing her mom, that hurts bad. I guess you should allow you to spend time with her talk to the brat and see how she feels, let the brat open up to you, you are not kissing ass but staking a mature and correct approach to the problem\n\nthis might tkae time so be paitent,however if you see that you are not making any progress and things are getting worst then you should allow her to spend time with her dad alone and have a miniture relationship wit the brat.\n\nyou should not be surprised by the use of the worrd "HOE" as she gets older into a teenage years you can expect bigger and nastier brawls right in your face.

What is the real meaning of Festivus?

While it first came to the attention of most of America by way of the December 18, 1997 episode of Seinfeld, the celebration of a holiday called Festivus is part of human history throughout the ages, most notably in ancient Rome, nineteenth-century California, and upstate New York in the 1960s.\n\nBy December 2004, when Allen Salkin's article about Festivus as a real holiday appeared in the New York Times, thousands of people around the world were celebrating Festivus with parties, grievance-airing, pole-erecting, beer-brewing and the invention of new Festivus rituals.\n\nFestivus is a non-denominational holiday that has no required rituals or totems, but many celebrants find the pole, the Airing of Grievances and the Feats of Strength essential, especially those Festivus-friendly folk who adhere to the Seinfeld orthodoxy.\n\nFestivus Pole\n\nAn unadorned length of lusterless metal or something that looks like metal, this central totemic element of Festivus can be mighty or meek. Some poles are pinky-short and some tetherball-tall. Erected on a lawn, balanced in a coffee can near a photocopier, stuck in a pail of rocks in the living room or suspended from fishing line on the front porch. the pole symbolizes nothing.\n\nThe Airing of Grievances\n\nLike everything else Festivus, the AOG has evolved some wild variations, but the core of it remains lashing into others and the world about how they have been disappointments. This usually brings participants into a circle of sorts in which each takes turns excoriating friends, enemies, relatives, acquaintances and strangers. When all who care to have taken a turn griping, there is no required hugging or making up.\n\nFeats of Strength\n\nThe FOS generally follows the AOG. Under the Seinfeld orthodoxy, Festivus is not over until the head of the household is wrestled to the floor and pinned. While there is an undeniable classic elegance to this, real world Festivus practitioners have developed other cathartic methods of discharging pent-up energy against one's fellows, including thumb wrestling and washer tossing.

Frink is an incredibly handy calculation tool on the web.\n\n\nWikipedia says the moon is an average distance of 238,857 miles from the earth. I just checked with it to verify the accuracy of Frink, which looks pretty good.\n\nNeither the moon nor the Earth are perfectly round. In fact, the Earth is kind of pear-shaped and has some rather high mountain ranges on its surface.\n\nAfter you are done doing serious analysis of the moon you should play around with Frink; it is pretty amazing and has built-in constants defined in it for all kinds of measurements having to do with the earth and moon. It also makes it very easy to convert values to different units of measurement.

I think the problem is both the employees and the the people who go there. Before you go to the embassy you have to call them for an appointment schedule.

She won't tell us where she is so we can't report her activities to the police. \n\nI hope that we get the call she is arrested before we get the other call.

how does neon connect with atoms ?

I need the answer to this ASAP

Neon won't form any stable compounds because it is too small to accommodate 8 fluorine ligands and, unlike the heavier noble gases, cannot use empty d-orbitals to rearrange the electron configuration.\n\nHeavier noble gases can form fluorine compounds which can be kept stable under certain conditions.

For those that believe that the Big Bang created the universe, what existed before the Big Bang?

Several of the previous answers have some really good points. The truth is we don't have the mental capabilities yet to understand the size and extent of the universe, or even the amount of time it's been here. So it's at best a weak guess as to what was here before, if there was a before, but there has to be a before, at least in our own ways of thinking. It would probably take a few Einstien's to figure these things out. What I mean by that is someone who could think as far ahead in our time as he did in his time.\n\nThen, unfortunately, as has happened in every culture since they started looking at the moon, we come up with a God to explain what we can't explain and then we have wars and fights and judgement on others who don't accept this God. I guess we should go back to beheading people who try to figure things out instead of closing their mind and blaming it on God.

Should Mike Piazza be signed by the minnesota twins or the yankees?

The Yankees could sign him if they wanted him, while the Twins should sign him because they need a bat..but wait, don't forget about the Anaheim Angels. They have or atleast had expressed interest in him. And now that Konerko stayed in Chicago and Manny is probably staying in Boston, I think they Halos would make him their primary target. The fact that Mike himself has stated in the past that he would like to come back to the West Coast and play for the Angels doesnt hurt. We'll just have to wait and find out how everything turns out.

Does toy scalping bother you?

Once it was Furbys, then Tickle Me Elmo, now it's XBOX 360. Just in time for the holidays, scalpers will help fill your tree. One guy around here is selling one with 1 game and the heatset thing for a mere $1,800. It's illegal, but people buy them. What do you think?

A fool and his money will soon be parted. why, because its more of a world market and not only that its an auction that makes some difference.\n\nYou know if its right or wrong.\n\nI don't necessarily think its right though either....but I am not going to judge you....if you are making 6 times what you paid for it,and you run across the item alot....I am just wondering why everyone else isn't doing it? maybe thats a rare example on your part,and maybe as I said as well it is rare in the country that bought it....I am just glad it wasn't me...because I would be pretty upset....I mean reverse roles here,and put yourself in the buyers shoes....even if its an auction....which I dislike anyway....because that in itself opens many doors for abuse in and of itself.

Is time continuous or discreet? Can we divide time into ever smaller units or is there a smallest time unit?

The normal answer, and the one which all conventional theories of physics are based on is that time is modelled as a real number. In relativity theory intervals of time are defined as a kind of generalised distance between two points in a 4-dimensional geometry. This 4-dimensional geometry (aka space-time) is defined using real numbers, resulting in distances always being real numbers, and so there ends up being no smallest distance.\n\nQuantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics have the same continuum underlying space and time, but the complication is that whilst time is continuous it is not possible to _measure_ time scales less than a certain amount. But still, the equations of the theory are still written in terms of differentIAL (c.f. difference) equations and are thus fundamentally continuous.\n\nThe impossibility of measuring suficiently small time scales has led _some_ theorists to consider the possibility that spacetime is actually a lattice of discrete points, thus making space and time fundamentally quantised. It has the advantage that if you make the additional assumption that the overall size of the universe is finite then integrals over the whole of space (which might not converge) end up being just finite sums, which always converge. Still, the theory has a long way to go simply to catch up with present-day theories, and is certainly not mainstream theoretical physics.

How can I develop my own computer language?

I have some cool ideas and good knowlege of compiler design also. But don't know where to start? And How to publish it

I'd say you ought to start by defining a grammar for your language. I know that was where we started in my Master's level compiler class. You might also try publishing some info about your ideas on a website (Geocities would provide free hosting) and try to solicit comments. Posting the URL on forums (like this one) might attract some feedback. I've never done something like that before, but I think that's what I'd try.

do actors in commercials have to be customers of the producte they are advertising?

No, not at all!\n\nThey dont have to be the customers of the product legally.\nhowever, otherwise it would be very good and look good and if the actor is doing that after he has used it for some time. \n\nBut then do you really think that is the case.\n\nAdvertising is just the medium that uses the popularity of a celebrity to connect the consumer to the product, the connection comes out of the good will of the celebrity created elsewhere. \n\nHowever, this does not point to an underlying conflict related to ethics.\n\nMany celebrities have consciously said no to promotions that they thought were against their ethics, principles, or the image among the public. \n\nThis kind of self-regualtion is good and sets good examples.

My internet Explorer lost an exe command. Can I download a version of it that will give me the command.?

Are you saying that I.E. can't "Run" and exe downloaded from the inet? If so, well, good. This protects you from viruses. There is a possibility a virus protector you installed lately or updated lately caused this to happen. It's better to save the file and run it from the hard drive anyway.\n\nIf you are looking to replace I.E. try Firefox. With add ons and other stuff, Firefox outdoes I.E. in many ways.

Where can I buy a star?

The place which advertises the most is the International Star Registry (linked below), but frankly you are better off spending your money on something else. The "name" that you give the star will not have any real legal or scientific meaning, so essentially you are paying a lot of money for just a slip of paper. \n\nNote this disclaimer from the small print on their site: "International Star Registry star naming is not recognized by the scientific community. \nYour star’s name is reserved in International Star Registry records only." In other words, they publish a book with the names that their customers have paid for, but frankly anyone could publish a book with any list of names in it. It has no real meaning.\n\nNaming stars is basically a scam.
