Start asking questions, giving answers, casting votes, thumbs up on good answers and you will soon find your self at a good position. \n\nI am at presnt having 2600 points, as you can also locate on http://blog.360.yahoo.com/y_answrs_team. But sincerely speaking, points are not that important. To become the Yahoo Prom Queen, you need to give quality answers from your knowledge and a little help of search engines. Giving good solutions will earn you respect, which is even bigger than the points we are trying to collect. Hope you have a fun time, side by side sharing knowledge.\n\nAs far as points are concerned, an earlier answer by my friend Jonny Quest details how to get the points the fastest.

4,309	5Sports	How do you determine the authenticity of a vintage Wilson 8802 golf putter (ie grip, shaft, head)?		Man that is a real tough one. The 8802 was produced for so many years and the design basically did not change. \n\nI think I'm fairly certain when I tell you this though. No 8802 is worth a whole lot. This is due to the fact that Wilson made a putter prior to the 8802 that is collectible. \n\nThis is just from my head, but I'm almost positive the 8813 is the collectible Wilson putter. I don't know how to identify that putter either, but I do know they can be worth in the hundreds in good condition. \n\nYou can search on ebay and see what you can find out as far a prices go.

4,311	3Education & Reference	What are the best places in UK or USA to study Law?		Well of course rating schools is somewhat arbitrary. I don't know about schools in the UK, but there are a couple of sources of information on ratings of US law schools. Best in many US ratings combines ratings of reputation (which changes slowly), alumni support, the amount of money in the endowment, etc. Remember that part of the success for any individual in school is how well they "fit" with the culture, expectations, setting and values of the law school. So, just looking at ratings is not enough to choose a law school (or any school, for that matter).\n\nCheck out the US News and World Report Top 100 law schools: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/law/brief/lawrank_brief.php\n\nGetting into US law schools:\nwww.campusaccess.com/campus_web/educ/e4grad_laus.htm\n\nJurist Links to US Law Schools:\nhttp://jurist.law.pitt.edu/lawschools/\n\nThe Canadian's Guide to US Law Schools and the Practice of Law:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/superius4317/\n\nThere is lots of information to look at on these links. Good luck! Hope this is helpful!

4,313	4Computers & Internet	How does wifi work?		Wi-Fi (also WiFi or wifi) is a trademark for sets of product compatibility standards for wireless local area networks (WLANs). Wi-Fi was intended to allow mobile devices, such as laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to connect to local area networks, but is now often used for wireless Internet access and wireless VoIP phones. Desktop computers can also use Wi-Fi, allowing offices and homes to be networked without expensive wiring. Many computers are sold today with Wi-Fi built-in; others require adding a Wi-Fi network card. Other devices, such as digital cameras, are sometimes equipped with Wi-Fi.\n\nA Wi-Fi–enabled device is able to connect to a local area network when near one of the network's access points. The connection is made by radio signals; there is no need to plug the device into the network. If the local area network is connected to the Internet, the Wi-Fi device can have Internet access as well. The geographical region covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. The range of an access point varies. The access point built into a typical Wi-Fi home router might have a range of 45 m (150 ft) indoors and 90 m (300 ft) outdoors.\n\nThe term wi-fi is sometimes said to be an abbreviation for "wireless fidelity," but a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance has explained that the term was chosen strictly as a marketing decision and does not stand for anything!
4,314	1Science & Mathematics	Why is there no frost on a windy night?	In the winter, I often have to scrape my windshield in the morning. However, if the night before was windy, I don't have a frost problem.	It is more difficult for the moisture to accumulate on your windshield when it is windy. It takes some time for water to freeze when there is no wind at all so you can imagine how difficult it would be for water to accumulate and freeze when the wind is blowing.

Well I know that a lot of people would like to see him executed... \n But I say to let him rot in jail or take his own life. Killing him is to step down to his level. I'd like to think I can live my life and leave this world a forgiving person Free of bloodstains on my hands and far far above the likes of the Saddam.
4,317	1Science & Mathematics	Why to fire flames rise up?	Gravitational pull is always towards bottom, but fire is one thing that rises up. Why is it so?	The flame will heat the air molecules above it.These gas particles being free to move in any direction will move in the direction which has least opposition to it's motion .This is because the air above the gas has a lower density and hence is sparcer than the air below it .also the flame particles have a higher energy (due to their temperature)they tend to stay as far away from each other as possible .This creates a lower density of air around the flame .This low density sir will be pushed up by the surrounding air of higher density due to buoyant forces.Due to both these regions the flame has to move up
4,318	4Computers & Internet	Whan you buy music from iTunes, can you save it as mp3 ?	So that I can play them with other music players like winamp.	Yes, you can but not directly. You will need a free conversion program called Jhymn. After you have purchased the song in iTunes it is a protected AAC file. Jhymn will strip the DRM protection from it and will convert it to a format of your choice such as a mp3.
4,319	4Computers & Internet	Can Norton internet security function while internet is on?	Every time I want to turn on internet, I have to disable Norton internet security.

Will my PC still be protected by "disable" Norton internet security while on line?	yes it is always running unless u disable it
4,320	6Business & Finance	How come animals do not get sick consuming contaminated water?		They do, but some animals have a higher tolerance than humans. Think about it, how would you feel after you eat a rotten carcass or plants off the ground.
4,321	3Education & Reference	how accurate IQ tests Are?		There is little accuracy in IQ tests, because intelligence can only be described with ordinal measurement, i.e. highest, next highest, etc. So IQ results can only be used in a comparative sense. In addition, the concept of "intelligence" is complex and vague so only generalized comparisons can be made. Note that part of the definition of IQ is that the average is defined at 100. So, if we could get a concrete measurement of total human intelligence, the average would always be 100, no matter whether the true amount changed or stayed the same.\n\nMany online "IQ tests" are not true IQ tests anyway. The only truly valid IQ tests are those administered by professionals. A real IQ test measures pattern recognition and problem solving abilities; ideally patterns and problems that the testee has never encountered before. A really good IQ test should not even be language dependent, except for the basic instructions to start the test.\n\nMany online "IQ tests" include questions about math, science, etc. While these are valid questions, they are measuring knowledge, which is quite a different thing from intelligence.\n\nThis isn't to say that IQ isn't valid or useful. There is a distinct difference between people with high vs. average vs. low IQ. However, outside of a clinical setting, the use of IQ is doubtful.

Im started a new relationship and everything is going allright but how can i keep it that way or grow the love that we feel	I would have to say there are a few things that must be there for a relationship. \n\n1. Honesty\n2. physical attraction\n3. compromise\n4. compassion\n5. conversation\n& lastly 6. RESPECT!

I could write like a ten pager about this but I thought it would bore you, so i briefed it for you. GOOD LUCK:)

4,327	1Science & Mathematics	What killed all the dinosaurs? Why did it happen?	The answers "ME!" and "Because you touch yourself at night" are not valid answers.\nScientific answers only.	Wikipedia has an excellent article on this. According to them, there are 3 main theories:\n\n1. Asteroid collision\n\nBasically a huge rock hit our planet causing a plum of sediment to float into our atmosphere reducing light from the sun. This reduction killed off a huge portion of the existing plant life, thus wiping out the food supply for many animals. As one thing leads to another, massive extinctions followed.\n\n2. The Oort cloud\n\nSimilar to the asteroid theory, an Oort cloud is a literal storm of comets. The results follow pretty closely with the single asteroid theory.\n\n3. Environment changes\n\nThis is a little more vague, but also a little simpler to prove to a degree (pun intended). The theory follows the notion of the magnetic poles flipping (causing tremendous weather changes), or some other massive event (such as the melting of the caps, or an ice age) that would in turn kill off most of the larger species on the planet.\n\nFor further information, please read the wikipedia article.
4,328	3Education & Reference	what would a youthful offernder have to do to get sentenced 7 1/2 to 15 years in prison?		Generally, voluntary manslaughter up to murder 1. The offender's age at the time of conviction comes into play, also their prior disciplinary record up to that point.

4,337	4Computers & Internet	Is Yahoo! Maps better than Google Maps? Why?		It does have some nice features that Google Maps doesn't have, like zooming with the mousewheel, a geocoding API, and the "minimap" that shows you where you are.\n\nThe downsides that I've found as compared to Google Maps is that it's flash based (which isn't necessarily bad), and creating markers on the map seems to be much slower, unless there's some way to speed it up I haven't found.\n\nBelow are two maps that basically do the same thing, one implemented in Google Maps and one in Yahoo Maps. (notice you can see the markers show up on the Yahoo one)
4,338	5Sports	what is the horsepower of a 230cc engine?		Probably around 15-25 hp.

The best to attend though and is probably way too late to find any hotels within a 300 mile radius for the 2006 show. This is a hard one to get too and its very busy and crowded. It is pretty hard to even find a place to set up a camper if you don't know someone already. Good Luck
4,340	2Health	which foods make you fart the most?		It depends on how your body digest certain foods.\nSome people can eat beans all day and not fart at all. \nOthers can just drink a glass of juice and they are purging toxic fumes from the lower vent hole all day.\nBut beans and green leafy types of veggies will usually get the job done. Also chille dogs with onions and mustard does it for some people. If your just trying to fart? Try drinking a can of one of those slim fast shakes. it'll give you lots of gas, however in 4 to 6 hours, the volcano is ready to erupt.\nYes... you were venting volcanic gases.

4,348	2Health	Can epicac make you sick if you use it to become belemic??		Syrup of Ipecac is designed for emergency treatment of certain drug overdoses. Users are specifically cautioned not to use it for weight loss, as serious heart problems or death may occur.\n\nBulimia is another disease, too. Repeated vomiting, even if not done with syrup of Ipecac, can cause dental problems, complications of the esophagus and colon, and more.\n\nIf you know someone using Ipecac to induce vomiting, make them stop. It could kill them. Plus, anyone suffering from bulimia needs medical care and counseling. Here are links to information about Ipecac and bulimia. Good luck.

4,353	6Business & Finance	Why does PayPal want me to confirm my bank account?	What are the pros and cons of doing this?\n\nDoes this mean they will no longer use my credit or debit card?\n\nDoes this lower the fees and if so who benefits from this?	According to PayPal: "When you confirm your U.S. bank account, your Sending Limit is lifted. The amount of money you send through your PayPal account will not be subject to Sending Limits although the maximum dollar amount for any single transaction is $10,000.00 USD or the equivalent thereof."\n\nConfirming your bank account is very simple. You just give PayPal your routing and account numbers. They make two "microdeposits" into your bank account. For example, they will deposit $0.17 and $0.05. It will take about two days for it to show up in your account. When the deposits are in your account, you just confirm your account by telling PayPal what the two amounts are. They know that it is your account since you have access to the amounts.\n\nI would highly recommend confirming your bank account if you are a merchant. As a customer, I would not send money to a non-confirmed merchant.\n\nYou still have the ability to use your credit and debit cards on PayPal. But after you confirm your account, you also have the ability to send immediate payments from your checking or savings account.

4,359	6Business & Finance	What is the cheapest way to advertise on TV?	How can a small business advertise on cable TV, local channels at the lowest price? I read in a magazine that cable TV ads can be purchased for as little as $50? Is this true?	Probably, but remember that only purchasing a few ads probably isn't a good use of your advertising dollars.\n\nThe two most important keys to effective advertising:\n\n1. Target the right demographic. What people purchase your products or services? Make sure you reach those people and not someone else. For example, advertising to business professionals during daytime soap operas while professionals are at the office probably won't be effective.\n\n2. Make sure your viewers (listeners, etc.) get enough repetitions to remember your ads. If someone sees your TV ad just once, odds are they won't even remember it. It takes a few viewings before people start remembering your ads. Try to make sure that when you purchase an air plan, your average viewer will receive at least 3 impressions (more are better), otherwise, you will likely be throwing your money away.\n\nAmongst various advertising media, outdoor (billboards) and radio traditionally have a lower cost per impression than TV, so they may be better deals for you.\n\nIf you do think you might be interested in TV advertising, talk to sales reps from your local TV stations and cable system(s). They should be able to develop air plans for you that target the demographics you are looking for.\n\nTV sales reps can also generally suggest commercial production companies that do affordable work. And they may even have special programs for new advertisers to make producing your first ad more affordable.\n\nIf you talk to several sales reps, you should be able to get a good deal simply by comparing prices. Just make sure that you're comparing apples to apples. You should be comparing the CPM (cost per thousand impressions) not the overall cost of running ads, or the number of ads being run. And you should make sure that the CPMs you compare are for the same demographic, for example, women 18-34, or people 25-49, income above $50,000.\n\nWhatever you decide your target demographic is, make sure all your CPM estimates from sales reps reflect those demographics and not some other numbers that the station thinks is more favorable to them. Some demographics are much cheaper to reach than others, and you will not be comparing equivalent pricing if you don't look at an identical demo.\n\nHope this helps. :-)

4,361	1Science & Mathematics	what makes a yawn?	why do we yawn?	No one knows for sure. But there are many theories (ideas) about why people yawn. \n\nOne is that when we are bored or tired, we just don't breathe as deeply as we usually do. As this theory goes, our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed. Therefore, yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood. \n\nYawning, then, would be an involuntary reflex (something we can't really control) to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Sounds good, but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not decrease yawning. Likewise, breathing more carbon dioxide does not increase yawning. Hmmm. Now what?\n\nAnother theory is that yawning stretches the lungs and lung tissue. Stretching and yawning may be a way to flex muscles and joints, increase heart rate, and feel more awake. \n\nOther people believe that yawning is a protective reflex to redistribute the oil-like substance called surfactant (say: sur-fak-tunt) that helps keep lungs lubricated inside and keeps them from collapsing. So, if we didn't yawn, according to this theory, taking a deep breath would become harder and harder - and that would not be good!\n\nBut there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true. It seems contagious. If you yawn in class, you'll probably notice a few other people will start yawning, too. Even thinking about yawning can get you yawning. How many times have you yawned while reading this article? We hope not many!

4,364	4Computers & Internet	i have alot of amateur piucs that i have taken of my lady friends. what are the legalities of selling them?	what are my right as the owner of the photos to display them on the internet for a fee?	BE CAREFUL!\n\nThe rules have changed drastically in the US regarding adult content. It's a little code passed and made more strict in the last 5 years called Title18, 2257. In a nutshell the code states that you must keep documentation for any model in adult situations. If you post the photos you must provide a link that tells an Attorney General and law enforcement where they can examine those documents. Take a look at some adult sites, see that link at the bottom, usually titled 2257? Well, that's what needs to be done.\n\nIf you don't comply and can't prove the models age- the punishment can be pretty harsh...prison time harsh. While there have been few prosecutions due to 2257, just wait. Alberto Gonzales has been hinting at coming down on the adult web. So, expect to hear some pretty scary stories in the next few years.\n\nMy advice, if these are just candid photos you took of your girlfriends with your digital camera and if you don't have permission or documents signed by people appearing in the photos, don't post them. You really have no rights to post them. Without that written permission and age verification, they are for your photo collection only.

4,367	1Science & Mathematics	Why are the cyanates & sulfonates not as toxic as the other compounds of cyanide?		This is because the CN (cyanATE) is not in an ionic form (cyanIDE). Hydrogen cyanide easily dissociates for form H+ and CN-. The CN- is the dangerous part. In a cyanate the CN is more strongly attached to an atom that it does not easily dissociate. However under severe conditions (ie burning, thermal decomposition) cyanates can decompose to give cyanide.
4,368	1Science & Mathematics	Is there an efficient way to deconvolve a gaussian blur kernel to recover the underlying data?	I have a regular 2D grid of points that have been blurred by a Gaussian kernel and then sampled using an irregular grid. Is there an efficient algorithm for deconvolving the kernel to recover an approximation to the underlying data?	One simple method is to take the fourier transform of the blurred image and the kernel. No divide transform of image by transform of kernel. In spatial domain this can be done by convolving the blurred image by the inverse of the kernel matrix.\n\nBut from textbooks on image processing, it becomes evident, that even if one has the actual kernel that was used to blurr the original image, it is difficult to reverse the process exactly.\n\nMoving on to a bit more advanced level, one can apply Minimum Mean Square Error filtering also known as Wiener Filtering. Disadvantage with the simple method shown above is that it does not always compensate for the noise produced in the image. This is were Wiener filter provides better results. It is based on objective of finding an estimate "est_I" of the original image I, so that mean square error between them is minimized. This error becomes\n\ne^2 = E[(I - est_I)^2]\n\nwhere E[] is the expected value of the argument.\n\nIf you search for practical implementation of wiener filter then I am sure you will find answer to how to actually implement it.\n\nI hope this was the answer you were looking for.

Chinese sounds funny to us because it is so different from our own language. Actually it is different from many languages but I'm only able to testify for Americans. The culture is also very different from what we're used to, while other cultures aren't really all that much different. I wouldn't take it personally, people make fun of other people that are different. Once they get to know you they'll probably joke even more, but joking around is how many people get along and should be taken lightly. It's just our way. \n\nAside from all that I think the world for the most part actually has a lot of respect for the Chinese. It's culture, Art, history is all fascinating and very foreign because of so many years of no contact.

4,380	1Science & Mathematics	How far do you think humans are to acheiveing light speed travel?		It is impossible to actually go at the speed of light because in the formula for time dialation (That's right Velocity distorts time. The faster you go, the slower time goes for you. This effect is negligable unless you are going very close to the speed of light.) if v(velocity) were equal to c(the speed of light) you would have a zero in the denomonator.\nthe formula is:\nt'=t/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)\n\nwhere t' is the time that has passed from a stationary observer, t is the time that has passed for you, sqrt means square root and ^2 means squared. As you can notice, when v is small, since c^2 is so huge, you get a miniscule decimal, and 1 minus that number is basically as small as 1.0000000000001 or something, and so time is not really affected. As v gets larger(it can never be the speed of light, then the denomonator would be zero) that fraction becomes closer to 1, so when you subtract it from one, the denomonator gets smaller and smaller, meaning t gets smaller(in order for t' to remain constant) this means that time actuall slows down for the object moving at such velocities. This formula is correct, it is part of Einstein's theory of relativity, and I have had to derive it myself from ordinary mechanics formulas. \n\nAlong with time, length contracts and mass expands by the same factor. If you were to go close to the speed of light, your mass would increase and length would decrease. This means that the density of your body would increase more and more as you went faster and faster, and your blood eventually wouldn't be able to flow anymore and your cells would die of oxygen starvation. Not that it really matters, because to even begin witnessing this effect, you would have to be going at least 90 or 95% or so the speed of light. \n\nNow to answer your question in that is it actually physically possible to get close... considering they have particle accelerators stories high and miles long requiring tremendous amounts of energy in order to even get tiny protons and neutrons to move at such speeds, it doesn't seem like they're anywhere near accelerating something big anytime soon. F=ma, meaning in order to get something that weighs one gram, like a paperclip to accelerate to the same degree as they do the protons, you would need about 2x10^24 times the force. That notation just means a 2 with 24 zeros after it. The reason for this is that that is how much more mass a paperclip has then a proton. An actual human isn't going to get anywhere close for a very long time.

The term "commercial" was used to distinguish it from an investment bank. Since the two genres of banks no longer have to be separate companies, some have used the term "commercial bank" to refer to banks which focus mainly on companies.

Alot of times people who seek out friends online are shy in real life or use the Internet as an avenue to meet people. You know used to bars, work, and church were the places to meet girls or guys, but with sexual harassment being an issue in the work place and church attendance down, the Internet is fast becoming a place where others can meet people. And like the previous person said, after they meet you online they usually want to meet in real life...because face it, online communications get a bit boring and lonely. In your case, I'd be upfront and tell them that you are only interested in online friendships not meeting in real life. If they can't handle it, then dump them before you start becoming good friends.
4,387	4Computers & Internet	How much Megabyte does the Internet have ?		Considering that most computers connected online have hard drives with 20,000 or more megabytes (20 gigabytes, accounting even for somewhat older systems), the number is pretty huge.\n\nDue to the sheer number of people online and such, it's pretty hard to say. However, I've seen simple networks with over 100 terabytes, or 100,000,000 megabytes of information. With how many of these there are in the world, As of 1997, over 3,000 terabytes (3 billion megabytes) of information was simply transferred over the internet per month.\n\nNeedless to say, the Internet is much, much larger now. So, to answer your question, it's a lot. I'd guess that by now, the Internet has trillions of megabytes flowing through it each month.

Center for the History of Information Processing, Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota).\n\nThe term, as a coinage, is similar to earlier coinages, such as "visual literacy", which Merriam-Webster (http://www.m-w.com/) dates to 1971, and the more recent "media literacy".

Best in many US ratings combines ratings of reputation (which changes slowly), alumni support, the amount of money in the endowment, etc. Remember that part of the success for any individual in school is how well they "fit" with the culture, expectations, setting and values of the law school. So, just looking at ratings is not enough to choose a law school (or any school, for that matter).\n\nCheck out the US News and World Report Top 100 law schools: http://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/grad/rankings/law/brief/lawrank_brief.php\n\nGetting into US law schools:\nwww.campusaccess.com/campus_web/educ/e4grad_laus.htm\n\nJurist Links to US Law Schools:\nhttp://jurist.law.pitt.edu/lawschools/\n\nThe Canadian's Guide to US Law Schools and the Practice of Law:\nhttp://www.geocities.com/superius4317/\n\nThere is lots of information to look at on these links. Good luck! Hope this is helpful!

How does wifi work?

Wi-Fi (also WiFi or wifi) is a trademark for sets of product compatibility standards for wireless local area networks (WLANs). Wi-Fi was intended to allow mobile devices, such as laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs) to connect to local area networks, but is now often used for wireless Internet access and wireless VoIP phones. Desktop computers can also use Wi-Fi, allowing offices and homes to be networked without expensive wiring. Many computers are sold today with Wi-Fi built-in; others require adding a Wi-Fi network card. Other devices, such as digital cameras, are sometimes equipped with Wi-Fi.\n\nA Wi-Fi–enabled device is able to connect to a local area network when near one of the network's access points. The connection is made by radio signals; there is no need to plug the device into the network. If the local area network is connected to the Internet, the Wi-Fi device can have Internet access as well. The geographical region covered by one or several access points is called a hotspot. The range of an access point varies. The access point built into a typical Wi-Fi home router might have a range of 45 m (150 ft) indoors and 90 m (300 ft) outdoors.\n\nThe term wi-fi is sometimes said to be an abbreviation for "wireless fidelity," but a founding member of the Wi-Fi Alliance has explained that the term was chosen strictly as a marketing decision and does not stand for anything!

Why is there no frost on a windy night?

In the winter, I often have to scrape my windshield in the morning. However, if the night before was windy, I don't have a frost problem.

It is more difficult for the moisture to accumulate on your windshield when it is windy. It takes some time for water to freeze when there is no wind at all so you can imagine how difficult it would be for water to accumulate and freeze when the wind is blowing.

Why to fire flames rise up?

Gravitational pull is always towards bottom, but fire is one thing that rises up. Why is it so?

The flame will heat the air molecules above it.These gas particles being free to move in any direction will move in the direction which has least opposition to it's motion .This is because the air above the gas has a lower density and hence is sparcer than the air below it .also the flame particles have a higher energy (due to their temperature)they tend to stay as far away from each other as possible .This creates a lower density of air around the flame .This low density sir will be pushed up by the surrounding air of higher density due to buoyant forces.Due to both these regions the flame has to move up

how accurate IQ tests Are?

There is little accuracy in IQ tests, because intelligence can only be described with ordinal measurement, i.e. highest, next highest, etc. So IQ results can only be used in a comparative sense. In addition, the concept of "intelligence" is complex and vague so only generalized comparisons can be made. Note that part of the definition of IQ is that the average is defined at 100. So, if we could get a concrete measurement of total human intelligence, the average would always be 100, no matter whether the true amount changed or stayed the same.\n\nMany online "IQ tests" are not true IQ tests anyway. The only truly valid IQ tests are those administered by professionals. A real IQ test measures pattern recognition and problem solving abilities; ideally patterns and problems that the testee has never encountered before. A really good IQ test should not even be language dependent, except for the basic instructions to start the test.\n\nMany online "IQ tests" include questions about math, science, etc. While these are valid questions, they are measuring knowledge, which is quite a different thing from intelligence.\n\nThis isn't to say that IQ isn't valid or useful. There is a distinct difference between people with high vs. average vs. low IQ. However, outside of a clinical setting, the use of IQ is doubtful.

What killed all the dinosaurs? Why did it happen?

The answers "ME!" and "Because you touch yourself at night" are not valid answers.\nScientific answers only.

Wikipedia has an excellent article on this. According to them, there are 3 main theories:\n\n1. Asteroid collision\n\nBasically a huge rock hit our planet causing a plum of sediment to float into our atmosphere reducing light from the sun. This reduction killed off a huge portion of the existing plant life, thus wiping out the food supply for many animals. As one thing leads to another, massive extinctions followed.\n\n2. The Oort cloud\n\nSimilar to the asteroid theory, an Oort cloud is a literal storm of comets. The results follow pretty closely with the single asteroid theory.\n\n3. Environment changes\n\nThis is a little more vague, but also a little simpler to prove to a degree (pun intended). The theory follows the notion of the magnetic poles flipping (causing tremendous weather changes), or some other massive event (such as the melting of the caps, or an ice age) that would in turn kill off most of the larger species on the planet.\n\nFor further information, please read the wikipedia article.

Why does PayPal want me to confirm my bank account?

What are the pros and cons of doing this?\n\nDoes this mean they will no longer use my credit or debit card?\n\nDoes this lower the fees and if so who benefits from this?

According to PayPal: "When you confirm your U.S. bank account, your Sending Limit is lifted. The amount of money you send through your PayPal account will not be subject to Sending Limits although the maximum dollar amount for any single transaction is $10,000.00 USD or the equivalent thereof."\n\nConfirming your bank account is very simple. You just give PayPal your routing and account numbers. They make two "microdeposits" into your bank account. For example, they will deposit $0.17 and $0.05. It will take about two days for it to show up in your account. When the deposits are in your account, you just confirm your account by telling PayPal what the two amounts are. They know that it is your account since you have access to the amounts.\n\nI would highly recommend confirming your bank account if you are a merchant. As a customer, I would not send money to a non-confirmed merchant.\n\nYou still have the ability to use your credit and debit cards on PayPal. But after you confirm your account, you also have the ability to send immediate payments from your checking or savings account.

What is the cheapest way to advertise on TV?

How can a small business advertise on cable TV, local channels at the lowest price? I read in a magazine that cable TV ads can be purchased for as little as $50? Is this true?

Probably, but remember that only purchasing a few ads probably isn't a good use of your advertising dollars.\n\nThe two most important keys to effective advertising:\n\n1. Target the right demographic. What people purchase your products or services? Make sure you reach those people and not someone else. For example, advertising to business professionals during daytime soap operas while professionals are at the office probably won't be effective.\n\n2. Make sure your viewers (listeners, etc.) get enough repetitions to remember your ads. If someone sees your TV ad just once, odds are they won't even remember it. It takes a few viewings before people start remembering your ads. Try to make sure that when you purchase an air plan, your average viewer will receive at least 3 impressions (more are better), otherwise, you will likely be throwing your money away.\n\nAmongst various advertising media, outdoor (billboards) and radio traditionally have a lower cost per impression than TV, so they may be better deals for you.\n\nIf you do think you might be interested in TV advertising, talk to sales reps from your local TV stations and cable system(s). They should be able to develop air plans for you that target the demographics you are looking for.\n\nTV sales reps can also generally suggest commercial production companies that do affordable work. And they may even have special programs for new advertisers to make producing your first ad more affordable.\n\nIf you talk to several sales reps, you should be able to get a good deal simply by comparing prices. Just make sure that you're comparing apples to apples. You should be comparing the CPM (cost per thousand impressions) not the overall cost of running ads, or the number of ads being run. And you should make sure that the CPMs you compare are for the same demographic, for example, women 18-34, or people 25-49, income above $50,000.\n\nWhatever you decide your target demographic is, make sure all your CPM estimates from sales reps reflect those demographics and not some other numbers that the station thinks is more favorable to them. Some demographics are much cheaper to reach than others, and you will not be comparing equivalent pricing if you don't look at an identical demo.\n\nHope this helps. :-)

what makes a yawn?

why do we yawn?

No one knows for sure. But there are many theories (ideas) about why people yawn. \n\nOne is that when we are bored or tired, we just don't breathe as deeply as we usually do. As this theory goes, our bodies take in less oxygen because our breathing has slowed. Therefore, yawning helps us bring more oxygen into the blood and move more carbon dioxide out of the blood. \n\nYawning, then, would be an involuntary reflex (something we can't really control) to help us control our oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Sounds good, but other studies have shown that breathing more oxygen does not decrease yawning. Likewise, breathing more carbon dioxide does not increase yawning. Hmmm. Now what?\n\nAnother theory is that yawning stretches the lungs and lung tissue. Stretching and yawning may be a way to flex muscles and joints, increase heart rate, and feel more awake. \n\nOther people believe that yawning is a protective reflex to redistribute the oil-like substance called surfactant (say: sur-fak-tunt) that helps keep lungs lubricated inside and keeps them from collapsing. So, if we didn't yawn, according to this theory, taking a deep breath would become harder and harder - and that would not be good!\n\nBut there is one idea about yawning that everyone knows to be true. It seems contagious. If you yawn in class, you'll probably notice a few other people will start yawning, too. Even thinking about yawning can get you yawning. How many times have you yawned while reading this article? We hope not many!

i have alot of amateur piucs that i have taken of my lady friends. what are the legalities of selling them?

what are my right as the owner of the photos to display them on the internet for a fee?

BE CAREFUL!\n\nThe rules have changed drastically in the US regarding adult content. It's a little code passed and made more strict in the last 5 years called Title18, 2257. In a nutshell the code states that you must keep documentation for any model in adult situations. If you post the photos you must provide a link that tells an Attorney General and law enforcement where they can examine those documents. Take a look at some adult sites, see that link at the bottom, usually titled 2257? Well, that's what needs to be done.\n\nIf you don't comply and can't prove the models age- the punishment can be pretty harsh...prison time harsh. While there have been few prosecutions due to 2257, just wait. Alberto Gonzales has been hinting at coming down on the adult web. So, expect to hear some pretty scary stories in the next few years.\n\nMy advice, if these are just candid photos you took of your girlfriends with your digital camera and if you don't have permission or documents signed by people appearing in the photos, don't post them. You really have no rights to post them. Without that written permission and age verification, they are for your photo collection only.

Why are the cyanates & sulfonates not as toxic as the other compounds of cyanide?

This is because the CN (cyanATE) is not in an ionic form (cyanIDE). Hydrogen cyanide easily dissociates for form H+ and CN-. The CN- is the dangerous part. In a cyanate the CN is more strongly attached to an atom that it does not easily dissociate. However under severe conditions (ie burning, thermal decomposition) cyanates can decompose to give cyanide.

In spatial domain this can be done by convolving the blurred image by the inverse of the kernel matrix.\n\nBut from textbooks on image processing, it becomes evident, that even if one has the actual kernel that was used to blurr the original image, it is difficult to reverse the process exactly.\n\nMoving on to a bit more advanced level, one can apply Minimum Mean Square Error filtering also known as Wiener Filtering. Disadvantage with the simple method shown above is that it does not always compensate for the noise produced in the image. This is were Wiener filter provides better results. It is based on objective of finding an estimate "est_I" of the original image I, so that mean square error between them is minimized. This error becomes\n\ne^2 = E[(I - est_I)^2]\n\nwhere E[] is the expected value of the argument.\n\nIf you search for practical implementation of wiener filter then I am sure you will find answer to how to actually implement it.\n\nI hope this was the answer you were looking for.

Political relate please.

he's made choices people don't neccesarrily agree with. He's passed laws and made moves and stuff that weren't in the best interests of American people. Spending $400 billion on iraq, giving tax breaks to rich people, choking on pretzels, not acting fast in the wake of Katrina, just to name a few. i really don't know how he won a second term.

How come people like to make fun of chinese people?that is so not fair to them..?

If you're living in America I can say the reason mostly is the language. Chinese sounds funny to us because it is so different from our own language. Actually it is different from many languages but I'm only able to testify for Americans. The culture is also very different from what we're used to, while other cultures aren't really all that much different. I wouldn't take it personally, people make fun of other people that are different. Once they get to know you they'll probably joke even more, but joking around is how many people get along and should be taken lightly. It's just our way. \n\nAside from all that I think the world for the most part actually has a lot of respect for the Chinese. It's culture, Art, history is all fascinating and very foreign because of so many years of no contact.

How far do you think humans are to acheiveing light speed travel?

It is impossible to actually go at the speed of light because in the formula for time dialation (That's right Velocity distorts time. The faster you go, the slower time goes for you. This effect is negligable unless you are going very close to the speed of light.) if v(velocity) were equal to c(the speed of light) you would have a zero in the denomonator.\nthe formula is:\nt'=t/sqrt(1-v^2/c^2)\n\nwhere t' is the time that has passed from a stationary observer, t is the time that has passed for you, sqrt means square root and ^2 means squared. As you can notice, when v is small, since c^2 is so huge, you get a miniscule decimal, and 1 minus that number is basically as small as 1.0000000000001 or something, and so time is not really affected. As v gets larger(it can never be the speed of light, then the denomonator would be zero) that fraction becomes closer to 1, so when you subtract it from one, the denomonator gets smaller and smaller, meaning t gets smaller(in order for t' to remain constant) this means that time actuall slows down for the object moving at such velocities. This formula is correct, it is part of Einstein's theory of relativity, and I have had to derive it myself from ordinary mechanics formulas. \n\nAlong with time, length contracts and mass expands by the same factor. If you were to go close to the speed of light, your mass would increase and length would decrease. This means that the density of your body would increase more and more as you went faster and faster, and your blood eventually wouldn't be able to flow anymore and your cells would die of oxygen starvation. Not that it really matters, because to even begin witnessing this effect, you would have to be going at least 90 or 95% or so the speed of light. \n\nNow to answer your question in that is it actually physically possible to get close... considering they have particle accelerators stories high and miles long requiring tremendous amounts of energy in order to even get tiny protons and neutrons to move at such speeds, it doesn't seem like they're anywhere near accelerating something big anytime soon. F=ma, meaning in order to get something that weighs one gram, like a paperclip to accelerate to the same degree as they do the protons, you would need about 2x10^24 times the force. That notation just means a 2 with 24 zeros after it. The reason for this is that that is how much more mass a paperclip has then a proton. An actual human isn't going to get anywhere close for a very long time.

Do you follow the political philosophy of your parents?

I'm sure in all of us, a little bit of what our parents believe gets into us the offspring. However, no in the end what path you choose is exactly that, your choice. I know of people who have grown up to believe what their parents do, and then totally change the opposite way. I personally feel that there is no right political party. I could vote either Democratic or Repub, it makes no difference to me. Who ever I feel will get the job done the best.

What is Commercial Banking?

commercial bank is a type of financial intermediary and a type of bank. It raises funds by collecting deposits from businesses and consumers via checkable deposits, savings deposits, and time deposits. It makes loans to businesses and consumers. It also buys corporate bonds and government bonds. Its primary liabilities are deposits and primary assets are loans and bonds.\n\nThis is what people normally call a "bank". The term "commercial" was used to distinguish it from an investment bank. Since the two genres of banks no longer have to be separate companies, some have used the term "commercial bank" to refer to banks which focus mainly on companies.

Ok, I have a boyfriend,but the only reason I am going out with him is because he reminds me of one of my ex's.

Well you did'nt really ask a question, but if you are meaning if thats ok or your asking people's view points on the topic then i'll share mine. I did the same thing. Its not nessciarly wrong (Sp?), but i guess it all depends on what specific reasons and if its against your morals or not. It does'nt really matter what other people think only you. Your the one thats dating him. If you liked your last ex alot and had fun then maybe your ex was your "type" of guy. And people tend to have a type. So just go with the flow and follow your heart.

Why do friends you make online are never happy to keep the relationship as is?

Why do friends I make online always want to meet in real life and get upset when I say I'm not interested in more real-life friends?

Alot of times people who seek out friends online are shy in real life or use the Internet as an avenue to meet people. You know used to bars, work, and church were the places to meet girls or guys, but with sexual harassment being an issue in the work place and church attendance down, the Internet is fast becoming a place where others can meet people. And like the previous person said, after they meet you online they usually want to meet in real life...because face it, online communications get a bit boring and lonely. In your case, I'd be upfront and tell them that you are only interested in online friendships not meeting in real life. If they can't handle it, then dump them before you start becoming good friends.

How much Megabyte does the Internet have ?

Considering that most computers connected online have hard drives with 20,000 or more megabytes (20 gigabytes, accounting even for somewhat older systems), the number is pretty huge.\n\nDue to the sheer number of people online and such, it's pretty hard to say. However, I've seen simple networks with over 100 terabytes, or 100,000,000 megabytes of information. With how many of these there are in the world, As of 1997, over 3,000 terabytes (3 billion megabytes) of information was simply transferred over the internet per month.\n\nNeedless to say, the Internet is much, much larger now. So, to answer your question, it's a lot. I'd guess that by now, the Internet has trillions of megabytes flowing through it each month.

What is definition of computer literacy?

Basic skill in use of computers, from the perspective of such skill being a necessary societal skill.\n\nThe term was coined by Andrew Molnar, while director of the Office of Computing Activities at the National Science Foundation.\n\n"We started computer literacy in '72 [...] We coined that phrase.\n\nIt's sort of ironic.\n\nNobody knows what computer literacy is.\n\nNobody can define it.\n\nAnd the reason we selected [it] was because nobody could define it, and [...] it was a broad enough term that you could get all of these programs together under one roof" (cited in Aspray, W., (September 25, 1991) "Interview with Andrew Molnar," OH 234. Center for the History of Information Processing, Charles Babbage Institute, University of Minnesota).\n\nThe term, as a coinage, is similar to earlier coinages, such as "visual literacy", which Merriam-Webster (http://www.m-w.com/) dates to 1971, and the more recent "media literacy".

where the term "lesbian"comes from?

Sappho of Lesbos was an ancient greek poet who lived in the city of Mytilene on the island of Lesbos. Her poems were very different from many other greek poems of the day, in that they were very personal and focused on the intimate aspects of relationships between women. It is speculated but not known that the women of the island Lesbos practiced a form of homosexuality not unlike that common between Greek men and boys of the day. "Lesbian" comes directly from the name of the island, meaning an inhabitant of Lesbos.
