What is your favorite movie of all time? And why?
M - It's an old German movie with Peter Lorre (in his first appearance). It's humorous at times, with a few twists, and ultimately pokes at the human condition. It -was- going to be called "Murderers Among Us," but the Nazi party didn't like that because they thought it was a reference to them. In reality it wasn't, there aren't even any Nazis in the film.\n\nOh, and Bladerunner. I like film noir/sci fi...

When people mention Nirvana all they talk about is Kurt Cobain. Why?
Kurt was such a force in the band that to most people he literally was Nirvana. In a way, it may have contributed to his suicide. I'm sure he wasn't prepared for the intensity of interest in the band, the music, and him. \n\nKurt's death at the height of the band's popularity further intensified people's interest in him. I think the whole thing was totally ill-suited for him. One day Kurt and Krist Novolesic were just a couple of kids in a poor logging town in Washington, and then they, along with Dave Grohl, became this musical phenomenon in a few years' time.

Some times I have seen INR written on a christian cross (holy cross). What does INR stands for?
According to the Christian's New Testament itself, Matthew 27:35-37, the letters, which are INRI, are the accusation against Jesus for which the Romans crucified him. \n\nIn the Roman world, crucifixion, a particularly horrible way to die, was reserved for those who threatened the rule of Rome. Rome saw Jesus as an insurrectionist, the leader of a group of people who saw someone else besides the Emporer of Rome to be their King. \n\nThe New Testament text, in Matthew 27:37, states that the accusation against Jesus was "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." The Roman message to all who saw Jesus on the cross was clear, that if this is the person you think is your King, instead of the Emporer in Rome, then this is what will happen to him. \n\nThe Christian New Testament also states that Jesus was crucified between two "robbers." But the word in the Greek, Lestes, for robbers, in every other Roman Historian (Tacitus, Josephus, Philo) is used to mean a rebel, and not a robber.\n\nMat 27:35-37 35 And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots. 36 And sitting down they watched him there; 37 And set up over his head HIS ACCUSATION written, 'This Is Jesus The King Of The Jews.'

What's a good reply when asked a personal question you don't want to answer (like how much is your rent?)?
Looking for a reply that doesn't make the other person mad or hurt their feelings, but makes clear that the question is not going to be answered. Prefer not to lie.
Turning it into a joke usually works the best for me. For instance if someone asks how much is your rent, you can reply with "Too much! Way too much, in fact i think i'll stop paying it soon and live in a cardboard box", or if someone asks how much you make, i've used "not enough, i'm really not sure i'll be able to pay off my private jet any time soon". Something along those lines usually lets the person know that you are not willing to give out specifics, yet at the same time it's not rude or hurtful to them.

Who is the dumbest united states president?
That's a difficult question to answer as I don't believe there is a uniform standard of intelligence tests that existed for all US Presidents. Thus, as it may seem to many in this generation that George W. Bush is stupid, it may be that he is not the least intelligent of the bunch. Other presidents have, in their time, made their own errors. William Henry Harrision died of a cold, and William Howard Taft got stuck in a bathtub.

Is the 11th Amendment UN_Constitutional?
Choose a best answer q\n \ncustomer tur...\n1 week ago\n\n6 day(s) left to answer. \n was the 11th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, UN-Constitutionally adopted?\nWas the Amendment UN-Constitutional because it was not in Pursuance of the Original Constitution? \n\nAdditional Details\n\nDec 24, 2005 at 10:07 am\nIn Pursiance thereof; I bealieve, means not to revise any part of the ORIGINAL\n\nDec 31, 2005 at 8:25 am\nI will withhold this deputy clerk's name, but in the federal courts today, some clerks and yes even in the United States Supreme Court, the deputy clerk uses the 11th Amendment, and even though the Amendment does not state this, the clerk states that an individual can not sue thier own state, this statement is fact. Just imagine, that the hard core confederates, thought if and when the slaves are freed, they will be able to sue us for the past treatment. The Founding Fathers correctly framed the Original Constitution. We would not have all this corruption in our government, if the this Amendment was decided to be UN-Constitutional so that the court clerks that use the law to abridge the people's rights could no longer do this. The Founding Fathers with the Original Constitution knew correctly that when the 1st Amendment is correctly followed in realation to the states, that "only honorable" persons would then be placed in the position of all our government.\n\nYou can't answer your own question. \n \nEmail Question | Add Details | Call a Vote | Extend Expiration | Delete Question \n \nAnswers\n\nOrbus\n1 week ago\n\n\nReport Abuse\n I don't believe failure to be "in pursuance of the original constitution" can render an amendment unconstitutional.\n\nAmendments serve to permit the constitution to be modified - not just the wording, but the spirit. That's why there's such a large consensus required to ratify an amendment - there is no provision to restrict what an amendment can do.\n\nThis is perfectly intentional - the good judgement of the citizens of the United States should make it hard to pass an amendment, and the constitutional authors didn't believe their own judgment to be superior, for all time, than the judgment of the people living in that time.\n\nSo, to answer your question fully, not being in pursuance of the original constitution is in no way a detriment for an amendment - in fact, any amendment that's solely in pursuance of the original constitution is probably unneccessary.\n\nEdit:\nIn light of your revision, Asker, I belive that you disagree with all major constitutional scholars on the meaning of "in Pursuance thereof." I haven't encountered a view elsewhere that claims the Constitution as written was intended to be impossible to change, even in spirit. On the contrary, one of the often-referenced strengths of the document is that it makes radical change possible - even to itself - without reqiring that the govenment be overthrown by force.\n\nWhile I can see where your interpretation comes from, I believe you've made an error, elevating the original state of the constitution above the process it provides for its own amendment. \n\n \n \n \njamesmusik84\n1 week ago\n\n\nReport Abuse\n The constitution specifically says, "The Congress, whenever two thirds of both Houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose Amendments to this Constitution, or, on the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as Part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress; Provided that no Amendment which may be made prior to the Year One thousand eight hundred and eight shall in any Manner affect the first and fourth Clauses
An amendment, duly approved by congress and ratified by the various states, by definition, cannot be unconstitutional. That is the whole point of amendments.\n\nEdit: I just wanted to point out that an amendment does not have to specifically repeal provisions in the original document. Only one amendment ever has, when prohibition was repealed, but every amendment has changed something in the original.

Can anyone explain encapsulation and Abstract concepts of oops ?
Encapsulation is often confused with information hiding. However, these terms are not interchangeable. Encapsulation is the ability to bundle related data and functionality within a single, autonomous entity called a class. For example, a class called LoggerFile might bundle data members such as the log file's path; a buffer of data waiting to be written to that file; and member functions that open, read, write, and close that file, as in the following code listing:\n\nclass LogFile\n{\npublic:\n int Open();\n int Read(char *buff);\n int Write(const char *buff);\n int Close();\nprivate:\n FILE *logfile;\n bool _open;\n//...additional data members\n};In procedural languages such as C, you declare these data members and the associated functions separately. Consequently, a global function that opens a log file may be mistakenly called to open a file that has already been opened. Worse yet, users might delete a log file and then attempt to write to it. By bundling the data and functionality in an autonomous class, it's much easier to avert such human errors, because the class maintains the state of the file and is therefore able to prevent such errors.\n\nAbstract classes can be used to define the C++ version of interfaces. A C++ abstract class describes functionality shared by objects of all concrete classes that are explicitly listed (perhaps indirectly) as subclasses. An object may play multiple roles by inheriting and implementing multiple interfaces. (The language doesn't directly support notions that an object may play different roles at different times, or that a role is implemented by a collection of objects, but these effects can usually be had in one way or another.) \n\nC++ interface-style abstract classes take an idiomatic form: \n\nclass AnInterface {\npublic:\n virtual T1 aService(T2, T3) = 0;\n ...\n virtual T4 anAttribute() const = 0; // get value\n virtual void anAttribute(T4) = 0; // set value\n ...\n virtual T5 aReadOnlyAttribute() const = 0;\n\n virtual ~AnInterface() {}\n\nprotected:\n AnInterface() {}\n};\n\nIdeally, the types T should consist only of pass-by-value scalar types (int, float, enum, ...), collections of them (structs, ...) and/or pointers to objects of classes also defined via abstract classes (thus representing handles). The lack of native by-value string and array types in C++ is a problem here. One occasionally attractive alternative is to always contain fixed arrays in structs. But in practice, you can make ADT-style types work OK too. This way you can sometimes obtain simpler mechanics and also avoid value copying. ADT-style fake pointer classes may also be used instead of raw pointers for handle types, although there is no perfect way to do this. \n\nAbstract classes sometimes lend themselves to parameterization over some type used in one or more signatures. (Some nice examples are described in Barton and Nachman's book.) Beyond the template prefix, nothing much changes except for the pragmatic problems of dealing with templates in C++. These include for example the fact that template instantiation errors are not usually reported until link time. This is best combatted by prefacing each template with a brief comment about what operations are assumed to be supported on the type (e.g., a < comparison). \n\nSince interface classes cannot be directly instantiated, yet serve as virtual base classes for implementations, the constructors should take no arguments and should be listed as protected. Also, for similar reasons, abstract classes should have a no-op virtual destructor, not one listed as ... = 0. Depending on your compiler, you might need to define the no-op constructor and destructor operations outside the class declaration in a separate .C file. \n\nThe use of const here and elsewhere has its ups and downs. Officially, it is a good idea, since it helps enforce some of the intended semantic guarantees. But often enough, pragmatic concerns get in the

Should god be loved more than love for parents or family?
Definitely yes - just imagine the last hope of children left by their parents. \nBut this is a fragile question: God says you must love and respect your parents. I think we must meet this demand till the point of not giving ourselves up. Being a parent means such great responsibility that it's easy to develop some features of a behaviour of owners or rulers. And besides, there may be some rivalry between the ex-rulers and the more and more independent growing-up personality... Try not to forget what a lot you have been given in your childhood, but keep an eye on your independent developing peronality - and you may find the proper ballance.

can sata and pata raid work at the same time, so in "my computer" all the drives show up as a single space?
If you mean, can you combine both SATA and PATA drives in a single RAID, then the answer is yes, but not a hardware RAID.\n\nThere are two kinds of RAID--hardware and software. Hardware RAID is implemented by a hardware RAID controller, which is either part of your motherboard, or an add-in card. Software RAID is implemented by the operating system. Software RAID is slower than hardware RAID, but if you have a reasonably fast processor, it's not using terribly much slower. If you have a slow processor, it will be slower, and more importantly, it will put a big load on your processor and make everything run slowly.\n\nTo the best of my knowledge, there are no RAID controllers that will RAID an SATA drive with a PATA drive, but you can set up whatever RAID you want with software RAID. If you already have your drives in hardware RAID (and intend to keep them that way) then when you do this, you will be RAIDing the already-existing hardware RAIDs, since a hardware RAID is treated as a single drive on the "software level".\n\nHere's some info on software RAID in Windows:\n\nhttp://www.techimo.com/articles/index.pl?photo=149\n\nHere's some info on software RAID in GNU/Linux:\n\nhttp://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO.html\n\nHere's some info on software RAID in Mac OS X:\n\nhttp://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/softraid3.html\n\nYou can find abundant info on doing software RAID on these and other operating systems by entering "software RAID" together with name of the operating system in a search engine.

What are the best anti-virus softwares that are free to download on the internet? \nWhat are the best anti-virus softwares that are commercially available?\nIs it alright to use anti-virus softwares at the same time?\nWhat are the best things to do to prevent viruses from infecting our computers especially when we are using the internet?
McAfee used to have a free version but I think it now only offers a free trial period like most reputable antivirus software/companies. Most of these companies also offer from their websites free scans of your computer without installing any software. \n\nAs for commercially available, I would stick with the well known companies that will stand behind their product and give you decent support if needed. E.G. Norton AntiVirus, McAfee Virus Scan, and CA eTrust EZ Antivirus.\n\nI have never run multiple anti-virus packages at the same time. I suspect some combinations will work but I would be hesitate to do this as this type of software is pervasive (i.e., installing and hooking into all parts of your system) and could cause more harm than help. If this is something you're set on doing I would strongly recommend you find or get in writing from each company that makes the software that you plan on running can indeed run simultaneously. \n\nThe best things to do to prevent viruses is somewhat hard to answer without knowing things like what type of e-mail application you use, your level of experience, etc. Starting with e-mail, the most common medium for viruses, you'll have better protection from e-mail viruses when using web based applications (e.g. Yahoo, Hotmail, and just about most major ISPs) vs. applications that are installed on your computer, such as Outlook or Outlook Express. Reason being the e-mail stays on their server vs. being loaded down on your computer. They get the virus not you. Also, be very cautious about opening ANY attachment. This is mostly common sense. If you don't recognize the sender and have no idea why you're getting the e-mail in the first place, don't even open the e-mail let alone the attachment. Don't forget to also delete the e-mail from your Trash can or Deleted folder. If you know the sender but not sure why there's an attachment, once again, don't open it. If you know for a fact why you're getting the e-mail AND the attachment, then and only then would I take the next step and that's use your antivirus software to scan it before opening it. \n\nAlso be judicious about what websites you visit. Don't just click on any link from an e-mail or another website unless you know where it's going to take you. Ask yourself is it really that important (i.e., worth the risk) I go to this website? This is where a good firewall application helps out. \n\nTo wrap this up I would recommend one final thing to consider. Look at securing your entire computer and not just for viruses. Consider looking into purchasing an entire security suite from one company (vs. independent software companies) as they usually provide antivirus, firewall, anti-spam and anti-spyware software. (E.g. CA Internet Security Suite, Norton Internet Security, etc.) Pros: More for your money, better overall protection, and most important, software applications that have been tested together and proven to work together. Who needs the headache of an application corrupting another; uninstall and re-installing; hours on phone with support; etc. \n\nHTH and good luck!

What is the best cellphone company?
I want a new cellphone, but can't decide on a provider. Who do you think would be a good choice?
I think Cingular is best. I get good signal everywhere (especially since they merged with AT&T Wireless). And, you can call other Cingular owners for free. Cingular has 51 million subscribers that you can call.

What is the most popular kind of music in the U.S.??
Have to agree with Shaun. What a shame, indeed.\nAs far as the charts go, these days it's definitely R&B/Rap/Hip-Hop, follwed by Country, Pop & Rock. As far as live concerts go, however, Rock is way ahead of the pack, followed by Country. Interestingly enough, I just recently read in The Washington Post that most radio stations in the U.S. are, in fact, programmed to Country!

Why does Donovan McNabb get such a bad rap?
He's been when of the good guys in football, and for some reason he is made out to be a bad guy in this whole Terrel Owens thing.
Well, He throws for one of the most hated teams in the NFL. Not sure why they're hated..could be the fans, or the fact that they've never been any good until recent history. Also he was blamed by not only TO, but by his fans for losing last years super bowl...Whether it be poor clock management, or lack of energy. And I'm sure someone will say it's because he's black, which I don't agree with since Culpepper, Vick, and Brooks are all highly rated black QB's.

Numerology \nThe Hidden Meaning of Numbers\n \nWhat, exactly, is numerology? Some experts describe it as the place where mysticism meets mathematics. Others call it "metaphysical arithmatic." But, in fact, numerology is simply the study of numbers and their symbolic meanings. Numerologists believe that every number (and every letter, too) has special significance. The most significant numbers are associated with the birth date and the letters of a person's name (which are easily converted to numbers). Learning to interpret this language of numbers can reveal basic personality patterns and hidden talents. It can enhance the quality of life and lead to better decision-making skills.\n\nThe analytical system known as numerology is between three thousand and five thousand years old. Ancient civilzations such as the Chaldeans, the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Mayans, the Chinese, and the Greeks strongly believed in the power of numbers, and each culture developed a system to interpret the significance of numbers and apply it to daily life.\n\nThe numerology system primarily used today was originally established by Pythagoras of Samos, a Greek philosopher born circa 580 B. C. Pythagoras, known in history as the Father of Mathematics, traveled widely in his quest to uncover the secrets of numbers and their relationship to universal truths. Pythagoras is said to have built his very complex philosophy on a simple premise: "Everything is [a] number, and to know numbers is to know thyself."\n\nNumerology also is closely tied with and plays an important part in the Tarot, the Major Arcana especially. The Major Arcana is numbered from 0 to 21 with each number corresponding to the meaning of the card. The Birthday Number section of this page gives descriptions of the meaning of the numbers 1-31. The meanings of the numbers 1-21 are the same as the meanings of the corresponding cards of the Major Arcana.\n\nYou have many personal numbers in Numerology, just as you have many personal signs in Astrology. These numbers are your Life Path number, Character number, Heart's Desire number, Image number, Power number, and Birthday number. There is also a general Daily Vibration number which depends on the day and is therefore the same for everyone. \n\nYou have to give your bday dude... and btw its been 3 months already...

More Sisters AND Brothers. It's easier to become a member of a religious order than it is to take Holy Orders.\n\nOf course, when you take into account the fact that the Catholic church is seriously hurting for priests (and they say more about that then needing nuns), the answer becomes a bit easier to determine.

office network/home network?
I recently moved my moms computer from her office to her home down the street. Currently her network at her office is with all cables. Is there a pratical way to hook up a computer to the network via wireless connection?
There is a slim chance if you're willing to try it but it's technical. Get a Wireless Access Point (WAP) or a full-blown wireless router and connect it to the office network. Get a wireless network interface card for mom's PC and see if it can see the WAP/router. If not, don't give up. The right way is to hook up mom's PC to the Internet and use VPN or some other means to get onto the office network, which means network changes at the office to permit her PC into it via the Internet. The wrong way is to modify the WAP/router to extend its range. There are a number of resources to do that, from firmware changes to physical antennae which you can purchase or build on your own. Sorry it's all technical and not easy but that's the truth.

How do I get a job and a green card in USA?
Well it depends on you situation.. Where you currently reside and your educational / family background.\nFor example you can be a student, apply to university in the States, apply for a job, apply for a work permit (H1-B) VISA and maybe your employer can sponsor you for a green card. Other possibilities include getting sponsored by a family member who already has a green card, or through politicaly asylum (if you are a refugee of your country for example), or if you marry a U.S. citizen. \nI can't go into much more detail not knowing your particular situation but a great site is http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/greencard/greencardFULL.html \nand has information for various ways for obtaining the green card.
