6,302	4Computers & Internet	How do I make VHS tapes digital?	I would like to know how to make digital files from my VHS cassettes. I have a VCR, a computer with USB (1.1 ports), and Windows movie maker, an 80GB external harddrive, and a DVD R/RW drive. Also, I'd like to do this as cheap as possible. Making nice DVDs would be nice, but not 100% necessary.	You need some kind of video capture device. There are really cheap ones that connect to the RCA cables of your VCR and into your computer through USB. You capture in the film raw and then edit it with your Windows Movie Maker product.\n\nExample: http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,1205037,00.asp

6,304	2Health	Have you ever torn a ligament in your knee, how long does it take to heal?		I dislocated my knee about 3 months ago. I was supposed to keep my knee stabilized- completely immobile for a long time, but I didn't know that. I did this 10 yrs ago to my other knee. It seems like this one is healing slower. I still have pain when I walk, and sometimes it still feels like my knee is going backwards when I walk. I'll get shooting pains up and down the outside of my knee just out of the blue. I just recently feel like my walk is almost back to normal. I went to the doctor for a recheck about 3 weeks ago, and asked her the same question you just did. She told me everyone is different, and the knees always take a very, very long time to heal. I now am taking glucosimine for my joints. Its just something you can pick up at a vitamin store. It actually feels as if it may be working, or maybe its just coincidence.
6,305	4Computers & Internet	How Often Do You Clear or Clean Up Installed Cookies?		Depends on how much browsing I do. Sometimes weekly sometime bi-weekly. No set schedule though. \n\nExcept after doing internet banking then I clear everything. (Paranoia)\n\nMaybe I should schedule it to do it automatically.....

To really work on your fighting skills you need to find a jiujitsu instructor. This will help you defend yourself better. In this discipline of martial arts you learn to grapple, pressure points, joint manipulation, etc...I mean why try to hit this guy with everything you have when you can snap his wrist with little strength or even bring him to the ground with your pinky...MAKE HIM TAP OUT...There is no better feeling than making someone tapout.

6,315	9Politics & Government	What is iminent domain?	just need a simple definition	Eminent Domain (not iminent)is when the government can control the use of land directly by acquiring the property itself and exercising the prerogatives towards it. If the current ownr of the land is unwilling to sell, the government, unlike private individuals, can judically compel its transfer through an eminent domain or condemnation action. \n\nThe government must prove that there is a "public use" involved. In other words, the use of the land as to what best serves the public.\n\nThe government is required to pay just compensation for the land taken. This amount is set by a jury after an evidentary hearing.

6,318	0Society & Culture	does anyone understand the choir of angels?		I assume you are talking about the Christmas story in Luke's Gospel. An angel appears to shepherds and tells them of the birth of the Messiah, and then " Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:13-14, NIV)\n\nI don't think anyone understands the heavenly host. We Christians believe that God created angels to serve him and glorify him. In this passage, they are singing his praises, as they do constantly in heaven (Revelation 4:8 and similar). Here, instead of singing in heaven, they sing above the earth. Why? Because the God who dwells in heaven has come to earth in the form of God-made-man Jesus, the Messiah.\n\nSo, they give him glory as they were created to do. They also show his glory to the shepherds. And, this is recorded, I think, to show us His glory of God in this most amazing and incomprehensible moment.\n\nI find it emotionally touching to think of God the Father sending his servants to sing praises at the birth of God the Son. And, it causes me to want to join in this sort of worship. Which I think is the point.

6,322	1Science & Mathematics	Is it posible that inteligent life can exist in the form of a gas or light ect. since our universe is unknown	This question regards to inteligent life in the universe... I feel that not all inteligent life has to be humanoid, I also believe, by broadening our scope on "what is considered, inteligent" on our planet, we may have a bigger picture of what to consider "inteligent" in the vastness of space when the time comes, when we can fathom the distance from planet to planet.	First you have to define life. Unfortunately by the standards we use today light and gas cannot be considered lifeforms because they cannot reproduce and carry out other life functions.
6,323	3Education & Reference	do u have to know what u want to be right away when u go to college?		No. What's more important is that you learn things that interest you. If you learn how to learn, then you can change what you do throughout your life. I know an economics major developing software, a political science major managing a multimillion dollar division of a corporation... what's more important than what these people studied, is that they learned how to pick up new skills, and they jut kept learning things that interested them.\n\nLife will take you lots of interesting places, and you don't need to plan them all before your freshman year of college.
6,324	1Science & Mathematics	what are armstrong numbers?	what are armstrong numbers?	According to Wolfram Research, \n"An n-digit number that is the sum of the nth powers of its digits is called an n-narcissistic number. It is also sometimes known as an Armstrong number, perfect digital invariant (Madachy 1979), or plus perfect number.\n\nThe values obtained by summing the dth powers of the digits of a d-digit number n for n==1, 2, ... are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ... (Sloane's A101337).\n\nThe smallest example other than the trivial 1-digit numbers is\n153==1^3+5^3+3^3.(1)\n\nThe first few are given by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 153, 370, 371, 407, 1634, 8208, 9474, 54748, ... (Sloane's A005188). "

6,328	9Politics & Government	what organization regulates lawyers in england and what website can i view to see if a lawyer is licensed.?	Most American state bar associations or regluatory bodies allow you to check the licensing status of an attorney licensed in that state. Is there a similar system for licensing in the UK and where can I check a lawyer's status?	Solicitors, roughly equivalent to what we consider a lawyer, are regulated by the Law Society of England and Wales, linked below. If you click on the menu on "Choosing and Using a Solicitor" they have lots of information about solicitors licensed with them, including whether or not they are recognized as specializing in particular things.\n\nThere are also barristers, regulated by the Bar, but you probably don't need one of them.

6,334	3Education & Reference	Is psychology a good major in college? I NEED ONE NOW!?	I've been constantly flipflopping between majors and now i'm a junior... so I HAVE to pick one. I liked the 2 classes i've taken about it in the past. Has anyone got a degree in Psychology? Was it useful? Is there such a low demand that i'll just be thrown out to sea? My current major is Political Science. Do you think that's more useful?	A political science degree would be useful if you have any interest in working for the government at any level. You could work for your local city, county, state, or federal government. You may have to get your masters to help you achieve a higher paying job in government. Pay is good and benefits are great. One area you may want to look into if you have any interest is City and Regional Planning. There are lots of jobs out there if you don't mind moving and city planning is not affected by trends in the economy like the private sector. If you are interested in how a city works then it may be a good choice for you.
6,335	4Computers & Internet	What is the most flexible, and best CMS?	I'd like to make a website for a church, and I'd like members to be able to participate. Ideally it would have a photo gallery, a forum, and a news page, as well as the ability to post news to the front page and different categories easily.\n\nI'd like the most flexible one possible. So far I'm leaning towards Drupal - any opinions?	Drupal is easily the most flexible one from the ones I've tried. I prefer to have at least separate photo gallery (I use Zenphoto, it's great) but you can do it all in Drupal. I also prefer separate forums with phpBB (see www.poromenos.org for a Drupal installation and shameless self-promotion :P).
6,336	0Society & Culture	How do I locate old obituries?	Trying to get copies for family records most would be in MI	I would say either the library or talk to your local newspapers. Maybe courthouses also.
6,337	4Computers & Internet	What is "subblizzard.com"? Does anyone know? thanks?	I am getting charges to one of my credit cards for this site/company and I don't know why. I am having a difficult time figuring out who this is. It looks like a game site, but when I type in that domain name it doesn't go to that site it goes to a list of other sites. ????? Anyone know anything about this? Thanks	Notify your credit card company of the unauthorized charges and have them issue a 'stop-payment' on any further charge attempts....
6,338	6Business & Finance	Should I buy a house?	I live in the heated real estate market of Los Angeles and I’m looking at homes around 650K. I’m 25, I make 70K per year, I have a girlfriend who can kick in 1000 a month for rent, and I have 200K to put into a down payment. I feel that the market is cooling but rates are low and I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to be a home owner at this age. I would be willing to keep it for at least 5 years before moving.	I think that if given the choice between rent and buy in this market, I would buy if not worried about the "bubble" bursting and rent if I was. The real estate values are inflated right now which is why it's called the "housing bubble." If you buy a 650k house today, when the "bubble" bursts and the value declines largely, you will be paying a 650k mortgage on a 400k house. The rates being low is an advantage to home owning right now, but the interest payments are always "write-off-able" for your taxes. If you are not worried about the bubble bursting within your 5 year stay at the house, then I would buy. You would be able to build equity and not have to worry about rent increases.
6,339	3Education & Reference	Can you tell me if there is any clubs in basildon?		Yes! There is a listing along w/ descriptions and "what's happening" at:\nhttp://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/guide/Basildon/SS13/
6,340	6Business & Finance	Are there any community forums out there that is like Craigslist?		Yahoo has LOTS and LOTS of forums. Go to Yahoo and click on "GROUPS" and find the kind you're looking for. Also, many cities have a Yahoo Freecycle list, and you can get and give away all kinds of items there.
6,341	4Computers & Internet	What is the best programming language?	Why?	You need to define your needs: best for programming web apps, enterprise apps, HR apps, etc... The best one is the one which you can program most efficiently based on your experience and the needs of the project (including cost for equipment / licensing)
6,342	2Health	Should I floss before or after I brush?		FLOSS FIRST!! You get all the stinky and old food out of spaces, that if were to sit in those tiny spaces would make your breath terrible. If you floss after, you are releasing the gunk. ALWAYS FLOSS FIRST, then the tooth paste is like a wash and rinse.
6,343	2Health	When did the insulin pump become availiable for general use?		Minimed's pump was not the first. I went on insulin pump therapy in February of 1981. The pump, by a company long out of business, was 4"X8"X1", held two day's worth of insulin, and had no memory. P.S. I have used Minimed's pumps since 1984 - they may be the best, just not the first!
6,344	6Business & Finance	why can't i chat whith my friend online she has aol and i have sbc yahoo internet?		You have to have AIM to talk to people with Aol. If your using Yahoo Messenger you cannot chat with your friend. So i recommened you download AIM here www.aim.com
6,345	4Computers & Internet	Why do I need an ISP to connect to the internet?	Essentially, If all computers are connected together, why do you need to use an ISP to gain access to the internet?	All computers are not connected together.\n\nThink of ISP service as Sewer, Water, Electricity, or any other service you receive.\n\nIt costs a lot of money to setup the big huge internet connections that interconnect between service providers and the rest of the world. \n\nIt also costs a lot of money for a phone company to buy and setup the equipment for DSL to work. Your phone line can't carry high speed data by itself. It needs special equipment to make it run. (Cable is similiar. You need special equipment on your side and on the cable company's side in order for you to have access to the internet)\n\nOnly computers on a local network are trully connected together and even that has a significant cost if that network is very big. \n\nThe ISP is like the Water company. They have access to the water. They pay for access to that water. The in turn sell that access to you.
6,346	3Education & Reference	How many ridges are on the outside of a dime?		118
6,347	0Society & Culture	i was agnostic now i am not, where should i worship and why?	there are just to many options its confusing	I don't admire your position. My suggestion would be to first do some soul searching; decide what you truly believe God or The Divine is and how you relate to Him/Her. Is God merciful and kind? Vengeful and Angry? Is He simply a Creator that allows man to choose his own path or does he have our destiny mapped out for us?\nAfter that- another hard choice- the afterlife. Do you believe in one at all? Is there a heaven? if so, is there a hell? Do you believe a soul can be reincarnated?\nMy suggestion is to actually write these questions and answers down on paper to give yourself a very clear picture of your beliefs. Think of as many theological questions and theories that are important to you and actually put them into words. Then- RESEARCH. I would say go to a clergy member, pastor etc but if you do remember they are only going to give you THEIR beliefs and teachings, not what you may consider your own. So if you seek advice from a third party, take everything from a skeptics point of view unless you find someone that says EVERYTHING you've written down as your core beliefs. (Chances are- you won't)\nTry the internet, library, bookstore- whatever nonpartial resources you can find.\nLastly, keep an open mind. Don't write down "I believe in the Bible so I must be Christian". Judaism believes in the Old Testament of the Bible; Mormons believe in both the Old and the New Testamants but have a Third testament as well. Wiccans don't believe in the Christian Bible, but have many of the same core beliefs as "love thy neighbor". Here's a good web site that has a lot of information on a variety of religions http://www.religioustolerance.org/ \nThere's no easy way out of this one. You've got a long road ahead of you and I wish you luck.
6,348	0Society & Culture	What is the WILL of the FATHER (God)?		John 6:39-40 is the will.\n39: "And this is the father's will he halt given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.".\n40: "And this is the will of HIM that sent me, that every one w/c seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life; and i will raise him up at the last day."
6,349	4Computers & Internet	how to use wifi on laptop?	I have a wireless card built into my computer, but when i try loggin onto the internet in a wifi hotspot, my computer says i'm connected, but when I try going to a website, i get the "cannot find page" error. However, if I use a external wireless card, i can get onto the internet alright.	Tough one. First using the built in card I would suggest when you encounter that error to repair the connection, if that doesn't work, I would say check for updated drivers for your (built-in) wireless card. Also, check the signal strength, if the strength is in the "low" or "very low" warning areas it doesn't work because the signal is so weak and it can't receive the data.\n\nAlso, go to device manager and see if the hardware is working correctly.\n\nBased on what you have said, it sounds like a hardware problem with your built-in wireless card but it could be something else.\n\nHope this helped in some way.
6,350	1Science & Mathematics	How do video projectors project the colour black?	I realize that black is the absense of light, but when a projector shows something colored black, it still looks like there is some kind of light coming out.	Video projectors projecting ordinary video cassettes must use the same technology as a regular TV screen; many also project TV. TV's use red, green and blue color electron guns to combine colors to obtain any necessary shade. Often the guns projected onto the screen through tiny holes in a shield onto the three different colored phosphor dots. At close range you can see some colored dots even when the screen is black. Because white (as in sun light) is the presence of all colors (all visible wave lengths) all three guns operate at egual intensity to give white. Because black is the absense of all color (no visible vavelengths) all the guns emit nil electrons onto the phosphors where the picture is black. The eye detects black because that is the predominant projection but some color may be emitted just as a radio has audio static.

6,352	4Computers & Internet	Are viruses also created by antivirus vendors to sell their product?		Without going into the ethical aspects, there are two issues that come to mind:\n- Yes, creating viruses artificially would indeed boost the need for antiviruses. If nothing else, it would let them claim they block "more viruses than the competition". \n- But the most important asset that antivirus firms have is not their product. It's the trust their customers put into them. If that trust disappears, the firm might as well close its doors.\n\nConsidering the huge risk an AV company would take if it started creating and spreading viruses for the sake of drumming up some business, it seems unlikely any healthy company would chance it.\n\nHowever, by following a similar line of thought, Enron should never have happened. \nYet it did.\n\nPS: Many AV-matched patterns are patterns that match "lab viruses", aka theorical exercises that have never actually spread in the wild. It is plausible (likely) some of those were created by AV employees in the process of investigating and keeping sharp on virus technology. Considering they never endangered anyone, I don't think of it as a problem. However, they helped sharpen their employee skills, and possibly resulted in a better AV product, so, indirectly, they may have helped sell their product.
6,353	6Business & Finance	single working mom with dilapadated farmhouse refused to split the cost of an uneeded fence with neighbor OK?	Neighbor needs fence for pool. Mom does not need fence but could use money for other maintenance on 200 year old farmhouse. Ex-husband does not provide enough child support for two kids. He conveniently was 'disabled' at the time of the divorce but now makes double his previous salary and cannot be brought back to court until 2 years after divorce date. Neighbor insists on splitting cost claiming that existing fence (in terrible condition) belongs to Mom. Fence curves around to gate to neighbor's back yard. Fence belongs to neighbor according to property blue print (mom's survey) It was explained to neighbor that mom cannot afford to pay for half of fence and neighbor is angry. Should mom pay for half of fence?	Let's see. If the pool and fence are on the neighbor's property, Then he can pay for it himself. If the fence is indeed yours, well then it's none of his business that it's broken down. He wants a fence fence so bad, he can get it himself.\n\nYou are not morally obligated to put yourself into debt just because your neighbor WANTS a new fence.\n\n\nHaving said all that, he IS your neighbor. So, you know, a little tact might be in order. So instead of "screw you", perhaps "I'm really sorry, but I just can't afford it" might be in order.
6,354	0Society & Culture	Question to Christians?	(I am a FreeThinker)-Sorry just for my knowladge\nI just read this Bible and there is 2 part that I could not understand...why some part saying that Jasus so powerfull and the other part say not???\n\n============================================\nThere are some things that Jesus can't do.\n\nMt.20:23 \n"But to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father."\n\nMk.6:5 \n"And he [Jesus] could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them." \n========================================\n\nJesus is all-powerful.\n\nMt.28:18\n"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."	I can understand your confusion. No problem asking for clarification, so don't feel like you need to apologize.\n\nMt.20:23-\nJesus made it clear that He had a mission, and the Father had particular tasks as well as the Holy Spirit. Example, Jesus does not know the hour of His return, only the Father. This is a direct parallel the the Jewish wedding. While Jesus was on earth in bodily form, He is unable to be with everyone at once--this is the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus made it clear that who sits where is a role that is the Father's only.\n\nMk 6:5\nJesus did not do miracles to those who wanted parlor tricks. Jesus would only do miracles for those who had the faith in Him. Look at his meeting with Harod. Harod was glad to see Jesus and hoped that He would do a miracle for him, but Jesus would not. God's plan was not to "impress" people. Jesus had specific reasons for doing and not doing miracles. Jesus was in His hometown and everyone questioned Him and doubted His authority. He could have done a big SPFX thing, but that would not bring the kind of faith and belief He desired. Who was the person that Jesus was most impressed with? The Centurion who said, "Just say the word, Jesus and my servant will be healed." Jesus marveled and basically said, in effect, "This is the faith I have been looking for!"\n\nMt.28:18\nThis is true. And He weilds that power as He sees fit. From my experiences, He does it with a whisper and not a shout.\n\nI hope this answers your questions. You might glean much from my studies.

6,359	2Health	What could be a possible cause of dizziness?	A good friend of mine has been suffering from dizzy spells, nausea and incredibly high blood pressure lately. He is 45 and in amazingly good health. He has never done drugs, does not drink and is a body builder. He has been to the doctor but he lives in a very small town. All they did was give him blood pressure reducer. Anyone have an idea of what we could look in to?	Dizziness is a sure sign of high blood pressure. Usually the doctor has to make adjustments to the medication several times in a year to find the perfect amount of medication he needs to keep that blood pressure in check. He may look into having a sleep study done, sleep apnea can cause uncontrolled high blood pressure. I'm just a sleep tech, and don't know a whole lot about the medical field, but if he is a body builder, does he use any kind of chemical to bulk up? Anything at all? Vitamins, etc? I would give a list of these to a doctor to make sure his blood pressure meds aren't counteracting with these. High blood pressure is something he should NOT mess with. He needs to talk to another doctor if his isn't following up with him in a timely manner. High blood pressure can lead to strokes and heart attacks. The dizziness and nausea are NOT good signs. He should keep track of his blood pressure various times of the day, and ESPECIALLY while the dizziness and nausea are happening. Give this record to his doctor when he sees him next, so the doctor can have a better look at what's going on when he isn't at the doctors office.

Rather they just take the imagery that these company's other clients have already requested and had tasked. As such Google rolls new imagery as it becomes more easily available from the companies. That is why areas outside of the US have less high resolution imagery--because there are not other client requesting and paying for that information to be collected.

Or links to papers or articles on the topic =)	Most of the names come from hundreds of years ago when the countries had different names, or the english speaking people named the country after a group within the country, or got the country's name from a third language - for example, before any westerner had ever been to Japan, they had been to China, where the Chinese pronounce the characters for Japan as "Yappun" - as the word drifted from one language to another, and since a lot of foreign sounds don't fit other languages there is drift - the Y was eventually replaced with a J, and the spelling was based on the sound of the pronunciation - i.e. Japan. The Japanese word for the United States is "Beikoku" "rice country". These things are done because of a combination of convenience and the lack of direct communications hundreds of years ago. People were hearing about these far off countries via third and fourth parties - the Portugese sailors tell the spanish who tell the dutch who tell the brittish. Ever played the "telephone game"?

Have you ever torn a ligament in your knee, how long does it take to heal?

I dislocated my knee about 3 months ago. I was supposed to keep my knee stabilized- completely immobile for a long time, but I didn't know that. I did this 10 yrs ago to my other knee. It seems like this one is healing slower. I still have pain when I walk, and sometimes it still feels like my knee is going backwards when I walk. I'll get shooting pains up and down the outside of my knee just out of the blue. I just recently feel like my walk is almost back to normal. I went to the doctor for a recheck about 3 weeks ago, and asked her the same question you just did. She told me everyone is different, and the knees always take a very, very long time to heal. I now am taking glucosimine for my joints. Its just something you can pick up at a vitamin store. It actually feels as if it may be working, or maybe its just coincidence.

What is iminent domain?

just need a simple definition

Eminent Domain (not iminent)is when the government can control the use of land directly by acquiring the property itself and exercising the prerogatives towards it. If the current ownr of the land is unwilling to sell, the government, unlike private individuals, can judically compel its transfer through an eminent domain or condemnation action. \n\nThe government must prove that there is a "public use" involved. In other words, the use of the land as to what best serves the public.\n\nThe government is required to pay just compensation for the land taken. This amount is set by a jury after an evidentary hearing.

does anyone understand the choir of angels?

I assume you are talking about the Christmas story in Luke's Gospel. An angel appears to shepherds and tells them of the birth of the Messiah, and then " Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests." (Luke 2:13-14, NIV)\n\nI don't think anyone understands the heavenly host. We Christians believe that God created angels to serve him and glorify him. In this passage, they are singing his praises, as they do constantly in heaven (Revelation 4:8 and similar). Here, instead of singing in heaven, they sing above the earth. Why? Because the God who dwells in heaven has come to earth in the form of God-made-man Jesus, the Messiah.\n\nSo, they give him glory as they were created to do. They also show his glory to the shepherds. And, this is recorded, I think, to show us His glory of God in this most amazing and incomprehensible moment.\n\nI find it emotionally touching to think of God the Father sending his servants to sing praises at the birth of God the Son. And, it causes me to want to join in this sort of worship. Which I think is the point.

Is it posible that inteligent life can exist in the form of a gas or light ect. since our universe is unknown

This question regards to inteligent life in the universe... I feel that not all inteligent life has to be humanoid, I also believe, by broadening our scope on "what is considered, inteligent" on our planet, we may have a bigger picture of what to consider "inteligent" in the vastness of space when the time comes, when we can fathom the distance from planet to planet.

First you have to define life. Unfortunately by the standards we use today light and gas cannot be considered lifeforms because they cannot reproduce and carry out other life functions.

what are armstrong numbers?

According to Wolfram Research, \n"An n-digit number that is the sum of the nth powers of its digits is called an n-narcissistic number. It is also sometimes known as an Armstrong number, perfect digital invariant (Madachy 1979), or plus perfect number.\n\nThe values obtained by summing the dth powers of the digits of a d-digit number n for n==1, 2, ... are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2, 5, 10, 17, 26, ... (Sloane's A101337).\n\nThe smallest example other than the trivial 1-digit numbers is\n153==1^3+5^3+3^3.(1)\n\nThe first few are given by 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 153, 370, 371, 407, 1634, 8208, 9474, 54748, ...

what organization regulates lawyers in england and what website can i view to see if a lawyer is licensed.?

Most American state bar associations or regluatory bodies allow you to check the licensing status of an attorney licensed in that state. Is there a similar system for licensing in the UK and where can I check a lawyer's status?

Solicitors, roughly equivalent to what we consider a lawyer, are regulated by the Law Society of England and Wales, linked below. If you click on the menu on "Choosing and Using a Solicitor" they have lots of information about solicitors licensed with them, including whether or not they are recognized as specializing in particular things.\n\nThere are also barristers, regulated by the Bar, but you probably don't need one of them.

Is psychology a good major in college? I NEED ONE NOW!?

I've been constantly flipflopping between majors and now i'm a junior... so I HAVE to pick one. I liked the 2 classes i've taken about it in the past. Has anyone got a degree in Psychology? Was it useful? Is there such a low demand that i'll just be thrown out to sea? My current major is Political Science. Do you think that's more useful?

A political science degree would be useful if you have any interest in working for the government at any level. You could work for your local city, county, state, or federal government. You may have to get your masters to help you achieve a higher paying job in government. Pay is good and benefits are great. One area you may want to look into if you have any interest is City and Regional Planning. There are lots of jobs out there if you don't mind moving and city planning is not affected by trends in the economy like the private sector. If you are interested in how a city works then it may be a good choice for you.

What is the most flexible, and best CMS?

I'd like to make a website for a church, and I'd like members to be able to participate. Ideally it would have a photo gallery, a forum, and a news page, as well as the ability to post news to the front page and different categories easily.\n\nI'd like the most flexible one possible. So far I'm leaning towards Drupal - any opinions?

Drupal is easily the most flexible one from the ones I've tried. I prefer to have at least separate photo gallery (I use Zenphoto, it's great) but you can do it all in Drupal.

Should I buy a house?

I live in the heated real estate market of Los Angeles and I’m looking at homes around 650K. I’m 25, I make 70K per year, I have a girlfriend who can kick in 1000 a month for rent, and I have 200K to put into a down payment. I feel that the market is cooling but rates are low and I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to be a home owner at this age. I would be willing to keep it for at least 5 years before moving.

I think that if given the choice between rent and buy in this market, I would buy if not worried about the "bubble" bursting and rent if I was. The real estate values are inflated right now which is why it's called the "housing bubble." If you buy a 650k house today, when the "bubble" bursts and the value declines largely, you will be paying a 650k mortgage on a 400k house. The rates being low is an advantage to home owning right now, but the interest payments are always "write-off-able" for your taxes. If you are not worried about the bubble bursting within your 5 year stay at the house, then I would buy. You would be able to build equity and not have to worry about rent increases.

Why do I need an ISP to connect to the internet?

Essentially, If all computers are connected together, why do you need to use an ISP to gain access to the internet?

All computers are not connected together.\n\nThink of ISP service as Sewer, Water, Electricity, or any other service you receive.\n\nIt costs a lot of money to setup the big huge internet connections that interconnect between service providers and the rest of the world. \n\nIt also costs a lot of money for a phone company to buy and setup the equipment for DSL to work. Your phone line can't carry high speed data by itself. It needs special equipment to make it run. (Cable is similiar. You need special equipment on your side and on the cable company's side in order for you to have access to the internet)\n\nOnly computers on a local network are trully connected together and even that has a significant cost if that network is very big. \n\nThe ISP is like the Water company. They have access to the water. They pay for access to that water. The in turn sell that access to you.

i was agnostic now i am not, where should i worship and why?

there are just to many options its confusing

I don't admire your position. My suggestion would be to first do some soul searching; decide what you truly believe God or The Divine is and how you relate to Him/Her. Is God merciful and kind? Vengeful and Angry? Is He simply a Creator that allows man to choose his own path or does he have our destiny mapped out for us?\nAfter that- another hard choice- the afterlife. Do you believe in one at all? Is there a heaven? if so, is there a hell? Do you believe a soul can be reincarnated?\nMy suggestion is to actually write these questions and answers down on paper to give yourself a very clear picture of your beliefs. Think of as many theological questions and theories that are important to you and actually put them into words. Then- RESEARCH. I would say go to a clergy member, pastor etc but if you do remember they are only going to give you THEIR beliefs and teachings, not what you may consider your own. So if you seek advice from a third party, take everything from a skeptics point of view unless you find someone that says EVERYTHING you've written down as your core beliefs. (Chances are- you won't)\nTry the internet, library, bookstore- whatever nonpartial resources you can find.\nLastly, keep an open mind. Don't write down "I believe in the Bible so I must be Christian". Judaism believes in the Old Testament of the Bible; Mormons believe in both the Old and the New Testamants but have a Third testament as well. Wiccans don't believe in the Christian Bible, but have many of the same core beliefs as "love thy neighbor". Here's a good web site that has a lot of information on a variety of religions http://www.religioustolerance.org/ \nThere's no easy way out of this one. You've got a long road ahead of you and I wish you luck.

Tough one. First using the built in card I would suggest when you encounter that error to repair the connection, if that doesn't work, I would say check for updated drivers for your (built-in) wireless card. Also, check the signal strength, if the strength is in the "low" or "very low" warning areas it doesn't work because the signal is so weak and it can't receive the data.\n\nAlso, go to device manager and see if the hardware is working correctly.\n\nBased on what you have said, it sounds like a hardware problem with your built-in wireless card but it could be something else.\n\nHope this helped in some way.

How do video projectors project the colour black?

I realize that black is the absense of light, but when a projector shows something colored black, it still looks like there is some kind of light coming out.

Video projectors projecting ordinary video cassettes must use the same technology as a regular TV screen; many also project TV. TV's use red, green and blue color electron guns to combine colors to obtain any necessary shade. Often the guns projected onto the screen through tiny holes in a shield onto the three different colored phosphor dots. At close range you can see some colored dots even when the screen is black. Because white (as in sun light) is the presence of all colors (all visible wave lengths) all three guns operate at egual intensity to give white. Because black is the absense of all color (no visible vavelengths) all the guns emit nil electrons onto the phosphors where the picture is black. The eye detects black because that is the predominant projection but some color may be emitted just as a radio has audio static.

Are viruses also created by antivirus vendors to sell their product?

Without going into the ethical aspects, there are two issues that come to mind:\n- Yes, creating viruses artificially would indeed boost the need for antiviruses. If nothing else, it would let them claim they block "more viruses than the competition". \n- But the most important asset that antivirus firms have is not their product. It's the trust their customers put into them. If that trust disappears, the firm might as well close its doors.\n\nConsidering the huge risk an AV company would take if it started creating and spreading viruses for the sake of drumming up some business, it seems unlikely any healthy company would chance it.\n\nHowever, by following a similar line of thought, Enron should never have happened. \nYet it did.\n\nPS: Many AV-matched patterns are patterns that match "lab viruses", aka theorical exercises that have never actually spread in the wild. It is plausible (likely) some of those were created by AV employees in the process of investigating and keeping sharp on virus technology. Considering they never endangered anyone, I don't think of it as a problem. However, they helped sharpen their employee skills, and possibly resulted in a better AV product, so, indirectly, they may have helped sell their product.

single working mom with dilapadated farmhouse refused to split the cost of an uneeded fence with neighbor OK?

Neighbor needs fence for pool. Mom does not need fence but could use money for other maintenance on 200 year old farmhouse. Ex-husband does not provide enough child support for two kids. He conveniently was 'disabled' at the time of the divorce but now makes double his previous salary and cannot be brought back to court until 2 years after divorce date. Neighbor insists on splitting cost claiming that existing fence (in terrible condition) belongs to Mom. Fence curves around to gate to neighbor's back yard. Fence belongs to neighbor according to property blue print (mom's survey) It was explained to neighbor that mom cannot afford to pay for half of fence and neighbor is angry. Should mom pay for half of fence?

Let's see. If the pool and fence are on the neighbor's property, Then he can pay for it himself. If the fence is indeed yours, well then it's none of his business that it's broken down. He wants a fence fence so bad, he can get it himself.\n\nYou are not morally obligated to put yourself into debt just because your neighbor WANTS a new fence.\n\n\nHaving said all that, he IS your neighbor. So, you know, a little tact might be in order. So instead of "screw you", perhaps "I'm really sorry, but I just can't afford it" might be in order.

Question to Christians?

(I am a FreeThinker)-Sorry just for my knowladge\nI just read this Bible and there is 2 part that I could not understand...why some part saying that Jasus so powerfull and the other part say not???\n\n============================================\nThere are some things that Jesus can't do.\n\nMt.20:23 \n"But to sit on my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to give, but it shall be given to them for whom it is prepared of my Father."\n\nMk.6:5 \n"And he [Jesus] could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them." \n========================================\n\nJesus is all-powerful.\n\nMt.28:18\n"And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth."

I can understand your confusion. No problem asking for clarification, so don't feel like you need to apologize.\n\nMt.20:23-\nJesus made it clear that He had a mission, and the Father had particular tasks as well as the Holy Spirit. Example, Jesus does not know the hour of His return, only the Father. This is a direct parallel the the Jewish wedding. While Jesus was on earth in bodily form, He is unable to be with everyone at once--this is the role of the Holy Spirit. Jesus made it clear that who sits where is a role that is the Father's only.\n\nMk 6:5\nJesus did not do miracles to those who wanted parlor tricks. Jesus would only do miracles for those who had the faith in Him. Look at his meeting with Harod. Harod was glad to see Jesus and hoped that He would do a miracle for him, but Jesus would not. God's plan was not to "impress" people. Jesus had specific reasons for doing and not doing miracles. Jesus was in His hometown and everyone questioned Him and doubted His authority. He could have done a big SPFX thing, but that would not bring the kind of faith and belief He desired. Who was the person that Jesus was most impressed with? The Centurion who said, "Just say the word, Jesus and my servant will be healed." Jesus marveled and basically said, in effect, "This is the faith I have been looking for!"\n\nMt.28:18\nThis is true. And He weilds that power as He sees fit. From my experiences, He does it with a whisper and not a shout.\n\nI hope this answers your questions. You might glean much from my studies.

What could be a possible cause of dizziness?

A good friend of mine has been suffering from dizzy spells, nausea and incredibly high blood pressure lately. He is 45 and in amazingly good health. He has never done drugs, does not drink and is a body builder. He has been to the doctor but he lives in a very small town. All they did was give him blood pressure reducer. Anyone have an idea of what we could look in to?

Dizziness is a sure sign of high blood pressure. Usually the doctor has to make adjustments to the medication several times in a year to find the perfect amount of medication he needs to keep that blood pressure in check. He may look into having a sleep study done, sleep apnea can cause uncontrolled high blood pressure. I'm just a sleep tech, and don't know a whole lot about the medical field, but if he is a body builder, does he use any kind of chemical to bulk up? Anything at all? Vitamins, etc? I would give a list of these to a doctor to make sure his blood pressure meds aren't counteracting with these. High blood pressure is something he should NOT mess with. He needs to talk to another doctor if his isn't following up with him in a timely manner. High blood pressure can lead to strokes and heart attacks. The dizziness and nausea are NOT good signs. He should keep track of his blood pressure various times of the day, and ESPECIALLY while the dizziness and nausea are happening. Give this record to his doctor when he sees him next, so the doctor can have a better look at what's going on when he isn't at the doctors office.

I am 60 and self-emp, looking for ways to add to income which do not require a time investment. Suggestions?

Without a time investment, it's difficult to find a reliable form of extra income.\n\nIf you have savings that aren't tied up, you could place them into short term certificates of deposit or bonds. The interest from these can provide reliable and safe income, with a minimal of time spent. As well, both of these are quite safe.\n\nA slightly riskier idea is to invest in a mutual fund. They tend to earn better, although there is a potential for actual loss.\n\nWithout savings, I'm really at a loss for increased income without investing time.

Can someone tell me when Google Earth update the Images?

Images on of my City Chandigarh are Six months old.

Google gets its imagery from several different sources. It is my understanding that they buy the imagery from private companies such as DigitalGlobe and EarthSat/MDA. It is my understanding that they are able to get this imagery at a greater bargain since they don't necessarily request high resolution of specific areas. Rather they just take the imagery that these company's other clients have already requested and had tasked. As such Google rolls new imagery as it becomes more easily available from the companies. That is why areas outside of the US have less high resolution imagery--because there are not other client requesting and paying for that information to be collected.

I need a REAL website for perscription Rx but don't need a Rx to buy?

I have come to a point in my life where pain medication isn't an option anymore for my doctor. He told me to just start going to the chiropractor. Been there done that. Doesn't work. Where can I find a legitimate website that doesn't require perscriptions. My doctor has also refused phone consults. I've been scammed once, are real sites out there?

By definition, no legitimate site will sell you prescription drugs without a prescription, since that would be illegal. Can you ask your doctor to to refer you to a pain management clinic?

What makes internet good 90% of it is ads and porn?

Do I really need to answer this? Go back to college and try to write a really good and insightful research paper without the internet. It might have a lot of ads and pornography, but there's a lot of good out there too. Even this site is good because people can ask questions anonymously and have them answered truthfully and thoughtfully by an entire community. What would the world be like today without the internet? (Also, don't forget about the wonders of instant messaging and how you can have multiple conversations at the same time from opposite ends of the globe essencially for free).

Why, sometimes, can I hear my own heartbeat in my pillow when i'm trying to sleep?

It only happens occasionally.. anyone know why this is?

You're hearing your pulse! The pillow blocks out other noise and you can really hear sounds that are being made by your own body. Happens to me, too. (Happens to most people, I imagine.) But sometimes your head is not in the right position, or there is other noise in the area, or you're really tired and fall asleep quickly, so you don't notice it.\nIf you ever have a chance to be in Sensory Deprivation Tank, you will hear ALL your body sounds! It is really noisy and can be a bit weird.

Why do we use different names for countries than their inhabitants do?

Why do we call it Germany, when they call it Deutschland? France is France, and other countries seem to be basically Englishized, like España or Italia. Sometimes we change what we call them, like from Nippon to Japan. \n\nWhat's with all of this? How did it start, and why does it continue? Does anyone else think it's insensitive? If you called me Joe instead of Jeff, I would correct you. \n\nImperialism? Xenophobia? Insensitivity? Ignorance? Then it becomes habit?\n\nAny specefic examples would be great. Or links to papers or articles on the topic =)

Most of the names come from hundreds of years ago when the countries had different names, or the english speaking people named the country after a group within the country, or got the country's name from a third language - for example, before any westerner had ever been to Japan, they had been to China, where the Chinese pronounce the characters for Japan as "Yappun" - as the word drifted from one language to another, and since a lot of foreign sounds don't fit other languages there is drift - the Y was eventually replaced with a J, and the spelling was based on the sound of the pronunciation - i.e. Japan. The Japanese word for the United States is "Beikoku" "rice country". These things are done because of a combination of convenience and the lack of direct communications hundreds of years ago. People were hearing about these far off countries via third and fourth parties - the Portugese sailors tell the spanish who tell the dutch who tell the brittish. Ever played the "telephone game"? It's like that.

When did Bill Gates visit India ?

Billy boy is ignoring the largest community on earth.

BANGALORE, India - When Microsoft Corp. chairman Bill Gates begins a four-day visit to India on Tuesday (12-06-2005), he'll see a country moving increasingly toward open source operating systems — the chief rival to his company's Windows software. \n\nADVERTISEMENT\n \nThe head of Microsoft's India division, Ravi Venkatesan, said Gates plans to focus "on realizing India's potential" during his visit.\n\nMicrosoft has long viewed India, a country of 1 billion people with a fast growing economy, as a potentially huge market, and this will be Gates' fourth visit. He'll meet with senior Indian officials, business leaders and programmers and detail Microsoft's long-announced plans to invest $400 million in India in the coming years.\n\nGates is an icon to legions of programmers in India, and Indian leaders and business moguls line up to shake hands with him when he visits.
