6,001	8Family & Relationships	Do you believe in a soulmate?	If so what is your idea of a soulmate.	I didn't used to believe in soulmates. Until I met mine. He is not perfect, but he tries hard to make me happy and really loves me. We have great communication, and are working on the things that aren't as great. I think a soulmate is someone that you know in your heart is the ONE for you, you know you will never want anyone else, and you make the committment to work through all your problems and never give up. I guess, in some ways, your soulmate is given to you and in other ways, you help that person become your soulmate.

6,005	6Business & Finance	where was budha before budha?	was there a bhudist religion before bhuda came? how did people "live the right way" if there wasn't a budist religion? or is it kindad like jesus and christianity?	Gautama Buddha was the founder of Buddhism. He studied and practised Hindu discipline.\n\nKing Suddhodana and his queen Maha Maya ruled Kapilavastu. The queen gave birth to a baby boy on the way to her father’s place at Lumbini. The boy was named Siddharth. Queen Maha Maya died seven days after his birth. His maternal aunt (or step-mother?), Maha Prajapati Gautami brought up the child. \n\nAccording to legend, an astrologer foretold his father, the king, that young Gautama would give up the throne and luxury and renounce the world the day he would see four things (i) an old man, (ii) a sick man, (iii) a diseased man and (iv) a dead man. Hence, the king confined Gautama in a special palace which was provided with all worldly pleasures. He was married at the age of sixteen to Yasoddhra.

6,007	8Family & Relationships	If ur friend asked ur crush if he would ask me out and he said he likes me as a friend what should i do?		You can't do nothing about it. Just go on with life. Plenty of other fish in the sea. But, next time you like someone, don't have your friend go up to him and ask if he likes you, because that's lame and you wont gain any experience. Boys like confidence in woman, so next time, ask the guy yourself instead of having messengers ask for you.
6,008	4Computers & Internet	How do I recover a video file on my hard drive that I have overwritten?	Had a large .avi file, mistakenly over-wrote it with a small file. Data still there somewhere?	with extreme difficulty. It can be done provided that the computer has not had much disk activity since the file was deleted and overwritten. Auditing software in particular provides this functionality but it also very expensive.\n\nThe data can be recovered by using a technique for reading small spike differences in the magnetic 1's and 0's recorded on the disk. A small spike or voltage difference means that the spot on the disk was likely to have been a 0 previously. A higher spike or magnetic difference means that the spot on the disk was likely to have been a 1 previously. This is hampered by two things though, a) the file system used on the disk could be security protected (NTFS) so a program might not be able to access the disk directly, and b) a program would have to contend with the varying voltages that the hard disk applies to increase/decrease sensitivity when reading.\n\nIn short, you're going to have trouble recovering the file and it may be easier to simply get it from the original source.

6,015	1Science & Mathematics	What are "blowout tides"?	I have seen this term on some weather websites, but never anything explaining what they are.	BLowout tides occur in areas (generally nearshore shallows, marshes and tributaries) where the shore is very flat so the water remains shallow for some distance from the low tide mark. If you get a strong offshore wind at the same time as you have a low tide, then the wind will push the water out to sea so that you have what seems to be an extra-low tide, or a "Blowout" tide (because the wind blows out the water.)\n\nHere are some good photos of a blowout tide:\nhttp://www.fossilguy.com/trips/mrylnd_dec2005/mrylnd_dec2005.htm

6,017	2Health	Has humanity's collective eyesight gotten worse in modern times?	It seems that a large percentage of the population wears glasses/corrective lenses. Poor eyesight must have been a serious disadvantage to survival in the past (even a couple hundred years ago for the lower classes). So has our collective eyesight gotten worse, or were our ancestors with poor eyesight either barely scraping by or getting weeded out?	well i tink its us... reason being to the introduction of technology. With 'new' medias like computers, televisions... so yeh... generally our eyesight is getting worst as the generations progress... im wearing glasses myself.. :D
6,018	4Computers & Internet	what is y2k?		Y2K is a software bug.\nComputers makers in the 1970's designed software programs to store year as a two digit format\n1999 was stored as 99.\nAs year 2000 was coming, the computers did not know that the year 00 should be considered as 1900 or 2000.\n\nSo they had to rewrite all the software programs and data two represent year as 4 digit.
6,019	1Science & Mathematics	Can anyone explain (n+k-1) over (k) to me?	It is an stochastic formula, but what exaclty is it for?	(n+k-1) over (k) = (n+k-1) / (k)\n\n=> (n+k-1) / (k) = n/k +1 -1/k

6,021	9Politics & Government	Why have Americans become so apathetic towards their own government?	The Patriot Act is ready to be renewed (see: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5986379.html) and American civil liberities are threatened by it. It seems to be just another example the government acting without the support of the American people, yet no one did anything to stop it.	We live in such comfortable, free times that many feel there's no cause to rise up and take any sort of political action...any many are partially right.\n\nHowever, there is a larger problem--ignorance due to lack of education. Millions of people lack the basic knowledge of both our government and the way laws are enacted, and of our determined history.\n\nIf you know people like this, I'd recommend you give them (or recommend they read) the book "1776", written this year. It discusses the struggles we overcame for our independence, even when it seemed impossible.\n\nAs to the Patriot Act, you are right that it severely threatens INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, but please learn not to use the term "civil liberties" or "civil rights" or "human rights". These terms subjugate the true nature of INDIVIDUAL rights to a collective/society/mob.\n\nBenjamin Franklin was a strong advocate of liberty being of more importance than security, and he's absolutely right. After all, Iranians are in many ways very "secure", but they have absolutely zero freedoms.

This last is the source of our modern word tension. The hypotenuse was the line segment "stretched under" the right angle.
6,027	4Computers & Internet	Is Intel Mac OS X a Linux killer?		Yes, no and depends. Certainly Apple's ability to wow the US consumer has the possibility of shutting off most of the linux client space, not all because linux will likely allways be smaller / better able to run on things like Tivo. Also with OSX's ability to run BSD linux apps there is a nice migration and revenue opportunity for linux developers. As a Server Platform Intel may or may not enhance buy in by some Intel customers and thus woo away linux sales, but Apple will have to move to the free to start and pay me later for the service model. Will have to wait and see if Apple ever supports download/installs on non-Apple branded computers, blades, rackmounts etc.
6,028	3Education & Reference	what is the correct definition for fruits and their differences against vegetables?		There are many ways of defining both "fruit" and "vegetable," but here's the critical relationship between the two: Some fruits are vegetables, but not all vegetables are fruits.\n\nA fuit is a particular part of a plant -- the fleshy, seedbearing body. Apples, bananas, and tomatoes are all fruits.\n\nA vegetable can be just about any edible part of a plant: the leaves (lettuce), buds (brussels sprouts), stem (celery), root (carrot), or fruit (tomato). Vegetables are usually savory, not sweet -- but not always (yams, for example).

6,031	9Politics & Government	What is the Bilderbergs or Trilateralism?		Reference Conspiracy theories.\n\nI think the Bilderberg's are suppose to be the top group, or at least above some of the normally mentioned ones. I'd look for a link, but I doubt one is even accurate. Probably good to listen to Coast to Coast or Alex Jones. I'm not sure about Trilateralism. I think they're a group. Trilateral Commission, perhaps.
6,032	9Politics & Government	Ms. Bush Is she the worst 1st lady ever?	What has she done? Her mother-in-law was one off the very best. She surely could make a showing with that kind of advisor. I don't think she is trying real hard. opinions please.	Its not really something with metrics by which you could make such a determination. What, exactly is a First Lady suppossed to do, except be a good hostess?\n\nMind you, I don't particulary care for her. But I don't really think its fair to pass judgement on her job as the President's Wife. Seems to me that only the President is in a position to judge her worthiness as his wife.

For most of its prosperous life, the Meroitic empire served as the middle term in the trade of African goods to northern Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. While it still continued the cultural traditions of pharoanic Egypt, the Meroites developed newer forms of culture and art because of their isolation from the northern kingdoms.

6,042	0Society & Culture	How do dinosaurs coexist with the bible?		They don't.

How did life began and evolved on Earth or - maybe - elsewhere ?» Etc.

6,047	9Politics & Government	Getting ready for my first military board...?	Ok, so I'm an E-3 in the Army. I am going to the board for soldier of the quarter in like march or something. People keep telling me "You need to put your book together". However, my NCO doesn't seem to have time to explain what that means and what needs to go in it. HELP!! I've heard about like certificates and stuff like that, but what SPECIFICALLY needs to be in there?? Come on soldiers....square away your battle buddy here!!	Here it is, Troop:\nThe "book", think of it as an "I love me book". It should have all the information that got you to this point in your career. The upfront stuff would be your current APFT and counceling statements. But you are trying to sell yourself for as a candidate to the board members. Include copies of your awards and badges you've earned, don't forget those Letters of Appreciation signed by a LTC and above. Include copies of certificates of special training and any college classes you've taken. If you've done some legit volunteer work it shows you've spent time develping yourself as soldier and gave back to the community. The best thing to do is go to your AKO and print your Military Personnel Records Jacket (MPRJ) and use it as a check list. The board members want to see the details of why you are such a good Soldier. \n\nMake a copy of everything (use color if you can), put them in document protectors and get a plain three-ring binder to put them all together. It would be helpful if you used tabbed dividers to organize the sections. AWARDS, SCHOOLS (military and civilian), ADIMINISTIVE, and if you want to be a high speed PFC go get a DA photo made. It's a lot of extra cheese but it won't hurt and its free.\n\nSSG B., 1 ID, 1-63AR

6,055	3Education & Reference	Why is the sky blue?		The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.\n\nHowever, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. \n\nAs you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.
6,056	8Family & Relationships	what is love?		The affinity experienced between two people who are naturally able and willing to tune into one another's emotional, intellectual, and physical states - and respond to them in a nurturing and a stimulating way.\n\nLove is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. \nLove does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.\nLove bears all things; believes all things; hopes all things; endures all things.
6,057	0Society & Culture	why is it christmas and not Jesusmas?		Jesus is a name. Christ is an attribute. Christ comes from the Greek Χριστός (hristos), who is the one who has received the Χρίσμα (hrisma). In other words, one who has been "ordained". In the case of Jesus Christ and the Christian tradition, that would mean he was "ordained" (decreed, anointed) by God.\n\n"Christ" is closer to the importance and divinity attributed to Jesus than the name "Jesus" which is closer to his human nature. I assume that is why we have Christianity and Christmas.\n\nA more simple explanation would be to look at the meaning of the word Christmas(s) as a "mass" (gathering) of Christians - thus Christmas.
6,058	6Business & Finance	Looking for replacement part of an x-ray machine the part # is PXS5-701SA?	Don't care if its used as long as it works	Would the part PNO5-999AS work? I also have one that's labeled PNO5-999NOAS, that looks similar.

Regardless, we all say Go Vikes!

6,069	2Health	What are veneers?	do people actually get their original teeth replaced to have a more perfect smile?	veneers are porcelean (sp?) caps that are put on the teeth. each tooth is ground down (the same as when a crown is placed) and the veneer is cemented on top. The difference between crowns and veneers is that crowns are placed for functionality (to repair a diseased tooth and give a working chewing surface) whereas veneers are merely cosmetic. Also, veneers replace ALL teeth in the mouth, whereas crowns are usually placed one at a time as needed. The purpose of the veneer is to give an entirely new shape to each tooth, thereby making a new mouth. It's like getting dentures without having all your teeth pulled. And yes, people do get this done (mostly celebrities, it's expensive) to either fix their crooked teeth or whiten the teeth or both. Hope this helped!

Two cell phones cannot connect with one another point to point in the conventional sense as they have to communicate through the network because the numbers dialled need to be resolved by the mobile switch (i.e. the exchange) and connected to the other cell.\n\nHowever, the two cell phones can definitely connect in the point-to-point mode if both the cell phones are bluetooth/WiFi enabled. The cell phones would be behaving similar to walkie talkies in this case.

Gautama Buddha was the founder of Buddhism. He studied and practised Hindu discipline.\n\nKing Suddhodana and his queen Maha Maya ruled Kapilavastu. The queen gave birth to a baby boy on the way to her father’s place at Lumbini. The boy was named Siddharth. Queen Maha Maya died seven days after his birth. His maternal aunt (or step-mother?), Maha Prajapati Gautami brought up the child. \n\nAccording to legend, an astrologer foretold his father, the king, that young Gautama would give up the throne and luxury and renounce the world the day he would see four things (i) an old man, (ii) a sick man, (iii) a diseased man and (iv) a dead man. Hence, the king confined Gautama in a special palace which was provided with all worldly pleasures. He was married at the age of sixteen to Yasoddhra.

How do I recover a video file on my hard drive that I have overwritten?

Had a large .avi file, mistakenly over-wrote it with a small file. Data still there somewhere?

with extreme difficulty. It can be done provided that the computer has not had much disk activity since the file was deleted and overwritten. Auditing software in particular provides this functionality but it also very expensive.\n\nThe data can be recovered by using a technique for reading small spike differences in the magnetic 1's and 0's recorded on the disk. A small spike or voltage difference means that the spot on the disk was likely to have been a 0 previously. A higher spike or magnetic difference means that the spot on the disk was likely to have been a 1 previously. This is hampered by two things though, a) the file system used on the disk could be security protected (NTFS) so a program might not be able to access the disk directly, and b) a program would have to contend with the varying voltages that the hard disk applies to increase/decrease sensitivity when reading.\n\nIn short, you're going to have trouble recovering the file and it may be easier to simply get it from the original source.

If you get a strong offshore wind at the same time as you have a low tide, then the wind will push the water out to sea so that you have what seems to be an extra-low tide, or a "Blowout" tide (because the wind blows out the water.)\n\nHere are some good photos of a blowout tide:\nhttp://www.fossilguy.com/trips/mrylnd_dec2005/mrylnd_dec2005.htm

The Patriot Act is ready to be renewed (see: http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9588_22-5986379.html) and American civil liberities are threatened by it. It seems to be just another example the government acting without the support of the American people, yet no one did anything to stop it.

We live in such comfortable, free times that many feel there's no cause to rise up and take any sort of political action...any many are partially right.\n\nHowever, there is a larger problem--ignorance due to lack of education. Millions of people lack the basic knowledge of both our government and the way laws are enacted, and of our determined history.\n\nIf you know people like this, I'd recommend you give them (or recommend they read) the book "1776", written this year. It discusses the struggles we overcame for our independence, even when it seemed impossible.\n\nAs to the Patriot Act, you are right that it severely threatens INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, but please learn not to use the term "civil liberties" or "civil rights" or "human rights". These terms subjugate the true nature of INDIVIDUAL rights to a collective/society/mob.\n\nBenjamin Franklin was a strong advocate of liberty being of more importance than security, and he's absolutely right. After all, Iranians are in many ways very "secure", but they have absolutely zero freedoms.

Also with OSX's ability to run BSD linux apps there is a nice migration and revenue opportunity for linux developers.

how did the Kushites maintain their civilization after being conquered?

it is a social studies question for my kid to quiz him

When Napata was conquered in 591, the Kushites moved their capital to Meroe right in the heart of the Kushite kingdom. Because of their relative isolation from the Egyptian world, the Meroitic empire turned its attention to the sub-Saharan world. For most of its prosperous life, the Meroitic empire served as the middle term in the trade of African goods to northern Africa, the Middle East, and Europe. While it still continued the cultural traditions of pharoanic Egypt, the Meroites developed newer forms of culture and art because of their isolation from the northern kingdoms.

How do dinosaurs coexist with the bible?

They don't. The Bible was written a few million years after the disappearance of the dinosaurs by people who did not have a clue about them. The Genesis book was inspired by the Babylolian's myths of Creation. Every old civilization had its own myth of Creation. We now have mathematicians, astrophysicists, biologists, etc. to inquire these fundamental questions : «What is the history of the universe? How did life began and evolved on Earth or - maybe - elsewhere ?» Etc.

Getting ready for my first military board...?

Ok, so I'm an E-3 in the Army. I am going to the board for soldier of the quarter in like march or something. People keep telling me "You need to put your book together". However, my NCO doesn't seem to have time to explain what that means and what needs to go in it. HELP!! I've heard about like certificates and stuff like that, but what SPECIFICALLY needs to be in there?? Come on soldiers....square away your battle buddy here!!

Here it is, Troop:\nThe "book", think of it as an "I love me book". It should have all the information that got you to this point in your career. The upfront stuff would be your current APFT and counceling statements. But you are trying to sell yourself for as a candidate to the board members. Include copies of your awards and badges you've earned, don't forget those Letters of Appreciation signed by a LTC and above. Include copies of certificates of special training and any college classes you've taken. If you've done some legit volunteer work it shows you've spent time develping yourself as soldier and gave back to the community. The best thing to do is go to your AKO and print your Military Personnel Records Jacket (MPRJ) and use it as a check list. The board members want to see the details of why you are such a good Soldier. \n\nMake a copy of everything (use color if you can), put them in document protectors and get a plain three-ring binder to put them all together. It would be helpful if you used tabbed dividers to organize the sections. AWARDS, SCHOOLS (military and civilian), ADIMINISTIVE, and if you want to be a high speed PFC go get a DA photo made. It's a lot of extra cheese but it won't hurt and its free.\n\nSSG B., 1 ID, 1-63AR

Why is the sky blue?

The blue color of the sky is due to Rayleigh scattering. As light moves through the atmosphere, most of the longer wavelengths pass straight through. Little of the red, orange and yellow light is affected by the air.\n\nHowever, much of the shorter wavelength light is absorbed by the gas molecules. The absorbed blue light is then radiated in different directions. It gets scattered all around the sky. Whichever direction you look, some of this scattered blue light reaches you. Since you see the blue light from everywhere overhead, the sky looks blue. \n\nAs you look closer to the horizon, the sky appears much paler in color. To reach you, the scattered blue light must pass through more air. Some of it gets scattered away again in other directions. Less blue light reaches your eyes. The color of the sky near the horizon appears paler or white.

why is it christmas and not Jesusmas?

Jesus is a name. Christ is an attribute. Christ comes from the Greek Χριστός (hristos), who is the one who has received the Χρίσμα (hrisma). In other words, one who has been "ordained". In the case of Jesus Christ and the Christian tradition, that would mean he was "ordained" (decreed, anointed) by God.\n\n"Christ" is closer to the importance and divinity attributed to Jesus than the name "Jesus" which is closer to his human nature. I assume that is why we have Christianity and Christmas.\n\nA more simple explanation would be to look at the meaning of the word Christmas(s) as a "mass" (gathering) of Christians - thus Christmas.

Well, Yahoo trades at 56.43 '06 earnings. If Google traded at the same multiple, its price would be $484.74.\n\nSo now the question is, "Does Google deserve the same multiple as Yahoo?"

What are veneers?

do people actually get their original teeth replaced to have a more perfect smile?

veneers are porcelean (sp?) caps that are put on the teeth. each tooth is ground down (the same as when a crown is placed) and the veneer is cemented on top. The difference between crowns and veneers is that crowns are placed for functionality (to repair a diseased tooth and give a working chewing surface) whereas veneers are merely cosmetic. Also, veneers replace ALL teeth in the mouth, whereas crowns are usually placed one at a time as needed. The purpose of the veneer is to give an entirely new shape to each tooth, thereby making a new mouth. It's like getting dentures without having all your teeth pulled. And yes, people do get this done (mostly celebrities, it's expensive) to either fix their crooked teeth or whiten the teeth or both. Hope this helped!

why can't two cell phones just connect to each other - the same way they connect to a cell phone tower?

like walkie-talkies do - surely a cell phone has a bi-directional link to the cell tower?

Two cell phones cannot connect with one another point to point in the conventional sense as they have to communicate through the network because the numbers dialled need to be resolved by the mobile switch (i.e. the exchange) and connected to the other cell.\n\nHowever, the two cell phones can definitely connect in the point-to-point mode if both the cell phones are bluetooth/WiFi enabled. The cell phones would be behaving similar to walkie talkies in this case.

The skin that you marked with the Sharpies is permanently black. Remember that skin flakes off all day. The maker only colors the top layer of your skin, which flaked off over night to leave nice clean skin in the morning. The skin flakes are just too small for you to see that they are still black.

I've worked 12 years in U.S.A., if I gived up my citizenship of U.S.A., Can I get social welfare from U.S.A.?

The chances of you even getting your citizenship back to get these beneifits would be extremely rare.\n\nAlso, it is unlikely that once you renounce your citizenship, and then eventually get it back, that anything counted PRIOR to the renoucement will be looked at favorably.\n\nRemember, once you renounce your citizenship with the USA, you are no longer a citizen, you no longer are protected by the laws of the US, the rules and benefits of the us society.

I'm an English teacher, and I actually tell my students not to read the subtitles, because if you're reading the subtitles you're not listening to the English on the movie. Students who do this could end up with better reading skills than listening skills.\n\nIt depends a lot on what you want to do with English. If you plan only to read and write English, you can just work on those skills. If you want to spend time in an English-speaking country, you should work on speaking and listening too.\n\nI recommend a lot of listening and reading English. Try to get more exposure.
