7,600	4Computers & Internet	What programming skill is required to be a hacker? How can one be a good hacker?	web,internet,tracing,	How to become a hacker, from asking that question many months ago when I wanted to find out more than just emailing, chatting and the usual norm (millions of average users do) I quickly improved my web searching skills and found out for myself. Some "hackers" say, "Start with C/C++, Python, Perl, and so on..." each person might have in their own opinion what you should start with.\n\nDefinition of a hacker: Originally, a hacker was a term of respect, used among computer programmers, designers, and engineers. The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs. Unfortunately, the current popular meaning of the term is used to describe those who break into systems, destroy data, steal copyrighted software, and perform other destructive or illegal acts with computers and networks.\n\nStart out by learning networking and programming those are minimal basics, a "hacker" is supposed to know a great deal about computers, how they work, how networks works, ...etc and also know to code "The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs."\n\nThe best advice I can give you is learn all you can about computers, networks, programming, find information on forums, message boards, and websites.\n\nIf you just read all those "hacking" tutorials (I'm not saying their useless, just something you can try experiments with on your own) your just going to become a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, script kitty or skiddie) is a derogatory term for inexperienced crackers who use scripts and programs developed by others without knowing what they are or how they work for the purpose of compromising computer accounts and files, and for launching attacks on whole computer systems (see DoS). \nIn general, they do not have the ability to write these kinds of programs on their own. Such programs have included WinNuke applications, Back Orifice, and Sub7.\n\nLearn as much as you can and maybe you will become a hacker.If you need anything email me at searchjunkie@gmail.com, information wise, feel free.\n\n\nSources below are websites for free books, free information on anything, how to become a hacker, programming languages, free software, free alternative OS's, LiveCds, source code search engines and more.
7,601	6Business & Finance	Why do some people hold a negative connotation of the word "sales" in terms of a career?		Every successful business person is a salesperson. The skills are essential. But very few colleges and universities have any classes for general sales ability. I think this probably makes it a "less acceptable" career path in many people's opinions. \n\nSales is the fundamental currency of business skill.

7,604	3Education & Reference	Correct puctuation marks for dash and hyphen??	The puctuation mark for hyphen is "-" right? But what about dash? Is it the same as hyphen? \n\nI think I read somewhere that dash is a longer line, so it uses two hyphens like this "--". Is this true?\n\nIf so, when there is a "-" in a web site address, or URL, are we supposed to pronounce it as "hyphen?" (while most people say "dash") For example, is m-w.com "m hyphen w dot com" or "m dash w dot com?"\n\nPlease provide me with a clear answer!	I didnt know the answer so I went to the dictonary for the meaning of both...\n\nHere is what I found. \n\nDash: as a noun\nEither of two symbols, an emdash or an endash, used in writing and in printing. \n\nHyphen: as a noun\nA punctuation mark (-) used between the parts of a compound word or name or between the syllables of a word, especially when divided at the end of a line of text.\n\nI think the symbol - is only called a hyphen when used in the above context.\n\nOtherwise it is a dash.... thats what I got from it anyways.

7,606	4Computers & Internet	How exactly desktop applications differ from web based applications?		This question depends on how you define "web-based applications".\n\nDesktop Applications can often rely on the internet - be it for updates, authentication, uploading/downloading, etc. Desktop Applications rely that you have the program installed on your own hard disk.\n\nWeb-based Applications are apps programmed to only be accessed through the internet. These applications are often based of programming languages which can conveniently output information through your browser window. :O) Also, web-based applications often can be accessed from any computer with a web browser -- making far more convenient if you move around alot.\n\nThey differ in these ways too, to list a few:\n+ File Size - Desktop Applications are larger, web-based are smaller because of the fact internet data through-put is slower than accessing from your hard drive.\n+ Programming Language - If your using a Desktop Application, it will probably be written in a language such as Java/C/C++, while many web-based applications are based in Perl, PHP, Javascript, and XML.

7,614	2Health	How painful is root canal treatment?	I might have to undergo root canal treatment in a few days. Is it really painful. If you answer this question, please do see the subsequent question in my profile. Thank You.	Root canal treatment is not painful if it's done under proper anesthetics. But sometimes, if the tooth has been inflammated for a long time and even the bone around the tooth has started to decay due to the bacteria, the anesthetics might not work properly. It's because of the acid environment the inflammation causes and the fact, that the solution of anesthetics can't dissolve in an acid environment, therefor can't give the proper level of numbness. But it's only possible to feel something on the first visit, when they're taking out the nerve. The following treatments (if further visits are needed) should be pain-free. Also, there has been some research, that if You are very much afraid of the dentist, Your body produces more of the chemical, which might not let the anesthetics to work, so be as calm as possible and trust Your doctor. :)

7,620	0Society & Culture	I realize that "blue laws" were never written on blue paper, but are so named because of "blue noses"...	"Blue nose" was slang at the time for people of a puritanical mindset who believed that selling alcohol on Sunday should be illegal. What is the etymology of "Blue nose?"	Blue Blood to Blue book to Bluenose? The etymology of the word Bluenose and the phrase Blue Laws seems to have lost. The only thing known for sure is that the first use of the term Blue Law that can be documented today is in General History of Connecticut by the Reverend Samuel Peters published in 1781. It is now assumed that Rev. Peters coined the phrase.
7,621	0Society & Culture	When Christianity began as an organized religion, did many Jews convert and join?	We want to know if there was a time when there were a large number of Jews and if so, did their number decline because they became Christians?	Actually, No, the Jews of Jesus's day rejected the message of Christianity, as is evident from the Christian's New Testament itself. Repeatedly in the Christian's New Testament, when the Early Christians would go into the synagogues and preach, or even just explain what they believed, they would get kicked out. \n\nThe reason why this was so, is that the Jews to whom they preached recognized the story of Jesus in the stories of other Hellenist and Mediteranean gods. For example Mithra, who was born of a virgin human by a god for a father, who was born in the Winter, and who died in the Spring, and who came back to life three days later, and whose death and resurrection was proof for those who believed in him that they, too, would not die. Mithra was the patron god of the city of Tarsus, where Paul, called by many the true founder of Christianity, was born and raised. See also Dionysus, Attis, Ra, Adonis, and other gods that pre-date Christianity. Even Hercules had a human mother and Zeus for a father.\n\nWhen Christianity failed to take hold among the Jews, that is when the Early Christians took their faith to the non-Jewish world, and made it more attractive to the non-Jews by removing from it, Biblical requirements of keeping the Biblical laws, especially those of keeping kosher and circumcision.\n\nIn Jesus's day, (as now) the vast majority of those Jews who converted to Christianity were very assimilated, very Hellenized Jews, to whom the story of Jesus would have sounded very familiar.

7,623	1Science & Mathematics	If the dead sea is all salt, then are these salt edible? Could there be poisonous sediments?		The Dead Sea waters contain salts of magnesium chloride (53%), potassium chloride (37%) and only 8% sodium chloride, which is normal table salt. Magnesium chloride and pottasium chloride give the Dead Sea salt a bitter taste that makes it undesirable to consume, but not poisonous. \n\nHowever, since raw sewage runs into the Dead Sea it probably is unsafe to drink. The salinity may kill most of the bacteria, but there are trace metals that are hazardous that are found in these waste waters. Agricultural chemicals are another problem. \n\nSome Dead Sea salts are mined for 'therapeutic" uses, likely becuase some of the minerals in the salts are thought to be good for the skin. \nhttp://www.nextag.com/bulk-sea-salt/search-html
7,624	0Society & Culture	Do you think the devil is a liar?		First of all, I don’t think there is a God or a Devil. But I guess just like some people believe that God made everything he must have made the Devil, or the bad things in life, too. I guess the Devil would be everything bad we do so we could blame someone other than ourselves or, in the religious perspective, God. I really depends what your concept of the Devil and God is to you. It also depends on what religion you practice and believe in too because if your religion descends from Christianity then The Devil is a liar and wants to make you doubt your religion. \n\nThis is what I think. If you have any other questions, if you want to enlighten me, or if you want to just want to say how stupid I am you can email me to \n\ngbrl_question@yahoo.com
7,625	1Science & Mathematics	Do Spiders drink water or do they just get fluids out of the bugs they eat?	If they drink water how long can they go between replenishing their fluids?	Some spiders do drink water as well as getting the fluids from prey. Other spiders (like red-backs) don't drink water. If a spider has gone a while (sorry don't know how long) without water, it will approach a drop of water or dew drop and drink from it.

I play the drums and everyone says it is so much easier than other instruments but I don`t think so.What do you think?	absolutely not! drums are the most complicated instrument there is. I think the problem is people don't realize how deep the concept of drum beats,grooves,and fills are. Most people consider drums "noise" which is NOT true.Drums can be melodic if you play them certain ways.Drummers are not as recognized as they should be for the talent and determination it takes to play the drums.they are the backbone and metronome of the band.

7,635	4Computers & Internet	I'm using Photoshop to resize pics for the web. It says it's 5" high but it's 4" when I measure the screen....	Photoshop 6. At 100% Photoshop says it's 5" high and when I edit image size it says the same thing, but when I measure it on the screen with a ruler it says 4" even when I bring it into FrontPage to view.\n I resized 100s of photos and saved them to 5" high at 72 dpi how do I get them to be 5" high on screen??	There are two things going on here that you need to understand. First, 72 dpi is a printer resolution, not a screen resolution. Photoshop doesn't resize directly for a particular screen size because the image must be measured in pixels, not dpi to resize for a screen and the size of an image measured in pixels depends on the resolution you have your screen set for 640x480, 600x800, etc. When an image size is measured in pixels, it will be larger on a low resolution screen and smaller on a high resolution screen. It will also be different sizes on different sized monitors. A fifteen inch monitor set to 800x600 will show a picture that is a larger portion of the screen than a 17 inch monitor set to the same resolution\n\nIf you want to resize to pixels in photoshop you can, but you will have to use some trial and error to find out how many pixels it takes to make five inches on your screen. If the picture is later opened on larger or smaller screens or screens with a different resolution it will be a different size. \n\nTo learn to resize to a particular number of pixels open photoshop, click on help and use the search function to search for "Resizing the image during optimization." It's pretty easy to do, but may not produce exactly the results you are hoping for. That's just the way it is with a program that has to work well for lots of different screen sizes set to lots of different resolutions.

7,638	2Health	if i have Chlamydia does my partner have to have it too?	we we dont always use protection.	If you test positive for chlamydia, your infection can be cured with antibiotics. Depending on several factors, your health care professional may prescribe azithromycin, in which case you will take only a single dose, or you may be prescribed doxycycline, which requires one pill twice a day for seven days. This may be followed by a test to see if you are cured, but test of cure is not routine and is usually reserved for pregnant women or individuals with persisting or new symptoms. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin. \n\nIf you are pregnant and infected with chlamydia, you still can be treated without harming the fetus. However, doxycycline is not recommended for pregnant women. The recommended regimen for pregnant women is erythromycin or amoxicillin for seven days, yet azithromycin as a single dose is also a possible option and recent studies and expert opinions suggest it is safe and effective. As with any antibiotic treatment, it is important that you take all your pills, even after symptoms disappear. \n\nBecause treatment with doxycycline or azithromycin is highly effective, women usually do not need retesting for chlamydia after treatment unless their symptoms persist or reinfection is suspected. Too often, women become reinfected because their partner has not been treated as well. Studies have shown that women who are reinfected with chlamydia have a much greater risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Therefore, it is important that you abstain from sexual contact until your partner has been tested and completed treatment, meaning seven days after a single-dose azithromycin regimen or after completion of a seven-day doxycycline regimen. \n\nIn general, treatment is recommended for any partner or partners you had sexual contact with up to 60 days prior to having symptoms or a diagnosis of chlamydia. Some clinics are experimenting with what is called partner-delivered therapy. Patients are given a one-gram dose of azithromycin to give to their partner. There are legal and ethical debates about this approach but in some cases it may be the most effective way to stop the spread of chlamydia, because many infected male partners have no symptoms and are reluctant to seek treatment. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin or doxycycline. \n\nPID treatment begins with an antibiotic regimen that provides broad coverage against several different bacteria. Treatment should begin as soon as a diagnosis is made, because immediate therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of long-term consequences of PID. Studies are under way to determine whether oral therapy is as effective as parenteral (intravenous) therapy. There are several different treatment options recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Regardless of which type of therapy is chosen, hospitalization is no longer recommended, except in certain circumstances including: \n\nsurgery is needed\n\nthe patient is pregnant\n\nan oral outpatient regimen cannot be tolerated\n\na patient does not respond clinically to oral antimicrobial therapy \n\na patient has severe illness, including high fever, nausea and vomiting\n\na patient has tubo-ovarian abscess or a weakened immune system\n\nWhile medication can stop PID, some women may need surgery to remove scar tissue and blockages caused by long-term infection. The most common type of surgery involves laparoscopy.

7,646	2Health	How long does it take to heal a toe amputation when the patient has very limited blood circulation?		The time it takes to heal any wound depends on several things. Good circulation to the area helps with healing. It brings nutrients and oxygen that are needed to heal. You can't let your blood sugar levels be too high. If someones blood sugar is too high then basically they may never heal the wound. Also make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Protein is what your body uses to repair skin.\nYou may want to consider visiting a wound care clinic. We have one in our area. On certain patients they are able to put them in a bariatric chamber which saturates the body with oxygen to promote healing. Hope this helps!

7,650	8Family & Relationships	Should my Fiance and I get pre-marital counseling, even if we don't think we need it?		Definitely! It sounds like you are so in love that you can't possibly imagine having problems in marriage--just like every couple that's ever married. It's normal, it's healthy, it's good, and that's why you're getting married.\n\nBut realistically, these "in love" feelings don't last forever, usually not for more than a couple years. After you're married you're going to have to deal with issues like budgets, grocery shopping, and putting the toilet seat down. Not very romantic stuff.\n\nA good pre-marital counselor will get the two of you to talk about issues now that you wouldn't even think of until you're much farther down the road. And it's a lot better to discuss them now, while you still have a lot very positive feelings towards each other. It's also better to discuss them now, rather than in the heat of the moment when conflict can grow destructive.\n\nSo I definitely encourage you to get pre-marital counseling, and do all the homework the counselor gives you. The time in the office will be useful, but the time that you spend discussing the questions you receive will be even more profitable.
7,651	8Family & Relationships	What is it that women like most of men??	What`s the deciding factor before a guy can have the girl say yes.

Don't worry about what makes a girl happy, and just be yourself and do what makes you happy.

7,660	6Business & Finance	i need motivation for my final exams.how can i motivate myself?	i just have 3 days for studying...	My motivation was always that once they're done, you are free. (for the term, at least) It's a pretty good motivator.\n\nMy strategy was always to organize each course in my head, first. Takes about 5 minutes. If you've been given a study guide for the exam, immediately cross off what you are comfortable with. With what remains, look at the major topics and 2 to 3 subtopics. Review those. You'll do fine. You've lasted through the term, right? \n\nAnd the most important thing is this: Go in RELAXED. The moment you walk in the door, you are as ready as you will ever be. Time's up. It is what it is. No point in stressing any further from that moment on. Tell yourself that as you sit down. Not only is it the truth, it calms you down. Honest.\n\nah... one more thing... if you happen across a question that you really just can't seem to articulate an answer for, write a response and address it to the instructor - say that your understanding of this particular subject matter is 'insert something relative yet witty' and include whatever information you can summon up about that questions answer. (it's worked for me - even though my answer to a particular question may not have been what he was looking for, I still received credit for exerting genuine effort at a response). You'll do fine.

7,669	9Politics & Government	what is the patriot act?		Patriot Act \nThe USA Patriot Act was passed by Congress as a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Act allows federal officials greater authority in tracking and intercepting communications, both for purposes of law enforcement and foreign intelligence gathering. It gives the Secretary of the Treasury regulatory powers to combat corruption of US financial institutions for foreign money-laundering purposes; it more actively works to close our borders to foreign terrorists and to detain and remove those within our borders; it establishes new crimes, new penalties and new procedural techniques for use against domestic and international terrorists.\n\nThere has been protest over certain sections of the Patriot Act, even resulting in some civil liberties suits brought by the ACLU and other groups.

7,672	1Science & Mathematics	what prevents the walls of the digestive tract from being digested?		A couple of things, actually. Digestion starts from the moment you start to chew up your food as certain enzymes begin to break down the proteins. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is protected from them to a large degree by mucus which lines the intestines and stomach. The mucus also protects the stomach from the acid which is kept in the stomach. \n\nSo that stuff which drives you nuts when you have a runny nose does really have something useful to do!

This was 6 years ago and has undergone deep therapy and medications. Appreciate any advice from any one that has been through this. Thank you so much!	That's a tough thing for anyone to go through and probably more so for a police officer or detective. That is a high stress and emotionally draining job I would think. Does he go out or stay in a lot? If he stays in a lot, try to get him to go out. He needs to do things to build his self confidence again. Going to the gym, join a group that does things he has similiar interests in, take a couse at a local college just for fun ex: writing, art, etc. You didn't say if he could return to that work in another city or not. That might be one option. There are many other jobs he could get with his vast skills and experience and he could take some courses at a college to add to his skills and head his vocation in another direction. He could also volunteer to go to schools and talk to children. I would not push him to get a job until he is feeling better about himself and when that time comes, I would suggest a part-time one. Let him know that he has the power to turn a bad turn of events into a positive and meaningful one. He is fortunate to have such a caring and concerned friend like you. Good Luck with your friend and I hope things get better for him.

7,679	1Science & Mathematics	Why are we not so worried about blue shifted stars and galaxies?		Blue shifting galaxies are ones that are headed more towards us than away. The spectrum we see from a galaxy is a combination of its more or less random speed relative to us due to interations with other galaxies, and the redshift from the expansion of the universe.\n\nUnless a galaxy is very close, the redshift expansion will dominate so that only redshifts are detected.\n\nThe big exception is the Andromeda galaxy, which is a spiral just like the Milky Way galaxy, and a "mere" 2.9 million light years away and is the closest big galaxy to ours. \n\nIn terms of being worried about it well...Andromeda is heading out way, and well collide with the Milky Way Galaxy in about 4 billion years or so.\n\nThat means is one were to stand on Earth or Mars the sky would be increasingly taken up by the fuzzy blog of Andromeda until suddenly (relativity speaking) the whole things is a huge explosion of stars.\n\nNot a literal explosions. Stars are very far apart from each other relative to their size, and about zero stars will actually collide.
7,680	9Politics & Government	How do you feel regarding the current status of our border policy as it pertains to the U.S./ Mexico border?		The United States is still a great land of opportunity and also one of the few true melting pots in the world where all cultures are welcome and we easily adopt the best features (and often words) of many peoples. That said, we share lengthy borders with Canada and Mexico and we need to maintain peaceful and orderly borders with our friendly neighbors. We should never forget that immigrants helped build all that we have today.\n\nHowever if our borders were opened to the entire world, we would be hoplessly flooded with immgrants while draining other countries of valued citizens. A system must be provided that effectively permits honest individuals to enter our country and perform work that does not steal bread from our current low wage worker's tables. At the same time, workers should be permitted to temporarily visit to register and work and return back home with their earnings. By having an organized border system, visiting workers will not have to pay exploiters to be snuck across our border and treated as law breakers when they are caught. While they are performing useful work, they should receive medical care and education for their children, paid for in part by taxes on their income and property taxes on the buildings they live in. All peoples of the world should have equal access to our system for permanent residence and ultimately citizenship.\n\nPerhaps one day the entire world will be at peace and economically free such that as many Americans will live abroad as non-Americans choose to live here. But then the entire world would have to become a melting pot.

7,682	1Science & Mathematics	What is thought?		At its most basic level, thought can be viewed as a computation (which in turn can be viewed as a change of state optionally coupled with some kind of input and output). There are all kinds of thought that are dealt with by different parts of the brain. These include motor skills, instincts and higher level reasoning like planning, creativity and consciousness. Your question spans a huge number of disciplines including philosophy, neuroscience, computer science, psychology, etc and is not satisfactorily answered today even with a lifetime of study. However, advances in this area occur daily. I can suggest three books for starters.

What programming skill is required to be a hacker? How can one be a good hacker?

web,internet,tracing,

How to become a hacker, from asking that question many months ago when I wanted to find out more than just emailing, chatting and the usual norm (millions of average users do) I quickly improved my web searching skills and found out for myself. Some "hackers" say, "Start with C/C++, Python, Perl, and so on..." each person might have in their own opinion what you should start with.\n\nDefinition of a hacker: Originally, a hacker was a term of respect, used among computer programmers, designers, and engineers. The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs. Unfortunately, the current popular meaning of the term is used to describe those who break into systems, destroy data, steal copyrighted software, and perform other destructive or illegal acts with computers and networks.\n\nStart out by learning networking and programming those are minimal basics, a "hacker" is supposed to know a great deal about computers, how they work, how networks works, ...etc and also know to code "The hacker was one who created original and ingenious programs."\n\nThe best advice I can give you is learn all you can about computers, networks, programming, find information on forums, message boards, and websites.\n\nIf you just read all those "hacking" tutorials (I'm not saying their useless, just something you can try experiments with on your own) your just going to become a script kiddie (occasionally script bunny, script kitty or skiddie) is a derogatory term for inexperienced crackers who use scripts and programs developed by others without knowing what they are or how they work for the purpose of compromising computer accounts and files, and for launching attacks on whole computer systems (see DoS). \nIn general, they do not have the ability to write these kinds of programs on their own. Such programs have included WinNuke applications, Back Orifice, and Sub7.\n\nLearn as much as you can and maybe you will become a hacker.If you need anything email me at searchjunkie@gmail.com, information wise, feel free.\n\n\nSources below are websites for free books, free information on anything, how to become a hacker, programming languages, free software, free alternative OS's, LiveCds, source code search engines and more.

Correct puctuation marks for dash and hyphen??

The puctuation mark for hyphen is "-" right? But what about dash? Is it the same as hyphen? \n\nI think I read somewhere that dash is a longer line, so it uses two hyphens like this "--". Is this true?\n\nIf so, when there is a "-" in a web site address, or URL, are we supposed to pronounce it as "hyphen?" (while most people say "dash") For example, is m-w.com "m hyphen w dot com" or "m dash w dot com?"\n\nPlease provide me with a clear answer!

I didnt know the answer so I went to the dictonary for the meaning of both...\n\nHere is what I found. \n\nDash: as a noun\nEither of two symbols, an emdash or an endash, used in writing and in printing. \n\nHyphen: as a noun\nA punctuation mark (-) used between the parts of a compound word or name or between the syllables of a word, especially when divided at the end of a line of text.\n\nI think the symbol - is only called a hyphen when used in the above context.\n\nOtherwise it is a dash.... thats what I got from it anyways.

How exactly desktop applications differ from web based applications?

This question depends on how you define "web-based applications".\n\nDesktop Applications can often rely on the internet - be it for updates, authentication, uploading/downloading, etc. Desktop Applications rely that you have the program installed on your own hard disk.\n\nWeb-based Applications are apps programmed to only be accessed through the internet. These applications are often based of programming languages which can conveniently output information through your browser window. :O) Also, web-based applications often can be accessed from any computer with a web browser -- making far more convenient if you move around alot.\n\nThey differ in these ways too, to list a few:\n+ File Size - Desktop Applications are larger, web-based are smaller because of the fact internet data through-put is slower than accessing from your hard drive.\n+ Programming Language - If your using a Desktop Application, it will probably be written in a language such as Java/C/C++, while many web-based applications are based in Perl, PHP, Javascript, and XML.

How painful is root canal treatment?

I might have to undergo root canal treatment in a few days. Is it really painful. If you answer this question, please do see the subsequent question in my profile. Thank You.

Root canal treatment is not painful if it's done under proper anesthetics. But sometimes, if the tooth has been inflammated for a long time and even the bone around the tooth has started to decay due to the bacteria, the anesthetics might not work properly. It's because of the acid environment the inflammation causes and the fact, that the solution of anesthetics can't dissolve in an acid environment, therefor can't give the proper level of numbness. But it's only possible to feel something on the first visit, when they're taking out the nerve. The following treatments (if further visits are needed) should be pain-free. Also, there has been some research, that if You are very much afraid of the dentist, Your body produces more of the chemical, which might not let the anesthetics to work, so be as calm as possible and trust Your doctor. :)

I realize that "blue laws" were never written on blue paper, but are so named because of "blue noses"...

"Blue nose" was slang at the time for people of a puritanical mindset who believed that selling alcohol on Sunday should be illegal. What is the etymology of "Blue nose?"

Blue Blood to Blue book to Bluenose? The etymology of the word Bluenose and the phrase Blue Laws seems to have lost. The only thing known for sure is that the first use of the term Blue Law that can be documented today is in General History of Connecticut by the Reverend Samuel Peters published in 1781. It is now assumed that Rev. Peters coined the phrase.

When Christianity began as an organized religion, did many Jews convert and join?

We want to know if there was a time when there were a large number of Jews and if so, did their number decline because they became Christians?

Actually, No, the Jews of Jesus's day rejected the message of Christianity, as is evident from the Christian's New Testament itself. Repeatedly in the Christian's New Testament, when the Early Christians would go into the synagogues and preach, or even just explain what they believed, they would get kicked out. \n\nThe reason why this was so, is that the Jews to whom they preached recognized the story of Jesus in the stories of other Hellenist and Mediteranean gods. For example Mithra, who was born of a virgin human by a god for a father, who was born in the Winter, and who died in the Spring, and who came back to life three days later, and whose death and resurrection was proof for those who believed in him that they, too, would not die. Mithra was the patron god of the city of Tarsus, where Paul, called by many the true founder of Christianity, was born and raised. See also Dionysus, Attis, Ra, Adonis, and other gods that pre-date Christianity. Even Hercules had a human mother and Zeus for a father.\n\nWhen Christianity failed to take hold among the Jews, that is when the Early Christians took their faith to the non-Jewish world, and made it more attractive to the non-Jews by removing from it, Biblical requirements of keeping the Biblical laws, especially those of keeping kosher and circumcision.\n\nIn Jesus's day, (as now) the vast majority of those Jews who converted to Christianity were very assimilated, very Hellenized Jews, to whom the story of Jesus would have sounded very familiar.

If the dead sea is all salt, then are these salt edible? Could there be poisonous sediments?

The Dead Sea waters contain salts of magnesium chloride (53%), potassium chloride (37%) and only 8% sodium chloride, which is normal table salt. Magnesium chloride and pottasium chloride give the Dead Sea salt a bitter taste that makes it undesirable to consume, but not poisonous. \n\nHowever, since raw sewage runs into the Dead Sea it probably is unsafe to drink. The salinity may kill most of the bacteria, but there are trace metals that are hazardous that are found in these waste waters. Agricultural chemicals are another problem. \n\nSome Dead Sea salts are mined for 'therapeutic" uses, likely becuase some of the minerals in the salts are thought to be good for the skin. \nhttp://www.nextag.com/bulk-sea-salt/search-html

Do you think the devil is a liar?

First of all, I don’t think there is a God or a Devil. But I guess just like some people believe that God made everything he must have made the Devil, or the bad things in life, too. I guess the Devil would be everything bad we do so we could blame someone other than ourselves or, in the religious perspective, God. I really depends what your concept of the Devil and God is to you. It also depends on what religion you practice and believe in too because if your religion descends from Christianity then The Devil is a liar and wants to make you doubt your religion. \n\nThis is what I think.

I'm using Photoshop to resize pics for the web. It says it's 5" high but it's 4" when I measure the screen....

Photoshop 6. At 100% Photoshop says it's 5" high and when I edit image size it says the same thing, but when I measure it on the screen with a ruler it says 4" even when I bring it into FrontPage to view.\n I resized 100s of photos and saved them to 5" high at 72 dpi how do I get them to be 5" high on screen??

There are two things going on here that you need to understand. First, 72 dpi is a printer resolution, not a screen resolution. Photoshop doesn't resize directly for a particular screen size because the image must be measured in pixels, not dpi to resize for a screen and the size of an image measured in pixels depends on the resolution you have your screen set for 640x480, 600x800, etc. When an image size is measured in pixels, it will be larger on a low resolution screen and smaller on a high resolution screen. It will also be different sizes on different sized monitors. A fifteen inch monitor set to 800x600 will show a picture that is a larger portion of the screen than a 17 inch monitor set to the same resolution\n\nIf you want to resize to pixels in photoshop you can, but you will have to use some trial and error to find out how many pixels it takes to make five inches on your screen. If the picture is later opened on larger or smaller screens or screens with a different resolution it will be a different size. \n\nTo learn to resize to a particular number of pixels open photoshop, click on help and use the search function to search for "Resizing the image during optimization." It's pretty easy to do, but may not produce exactly the results you are hoping for. That's just the way it is with a program that has to work well for lots of different screen sizes set to lots of different resolutions.

if i have Chlamydia does my partner have to have it too?

we we dont always use protection.

If you test positive for chlamydia, your infection can be cured with antibiotics. Depending on several factors, your health care professional may prescribe azithromycin, in which case you will take only a single dose, or you may be prescribed doxycycline, which requires one pill twice a day for seven days. This may be followed by a test to see if you are cured, but test of cure is not routine and is usually reserved for pregnant women or individuals with persisting or new symptoms. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin. \n\nIf you are pregnant and infected with chlamydia, you still can be treated without harming the fetus. However, doxycycline is not recommended for pregnant women. The recommended regimen for pregnant women is erythromycin or amoxicillin for seven days, yet azithromycin as a single dose is also a possible option and recent studies and expert opinions suggest it is safe and effective. As with any antibiotic treatment, it is important that you take all your pills, even after symptoms disappear. \n\nBecause treatment with doxycycline or azithromycin is highly effective, women usually do not need retesting for chlamydia after treatment unless their symptoms persist or reinfection is suspected. Too often, women become reinfected because their partner has not been treated as well. Studies have shown that women who are reinfected with chlamydia have a much greater risk of developing pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). Therefore, it is important that you abstain from sexual contact until your partner has been tested and completed treatment, meaning seven days after a single-dose azithromycin regimen or after completion of a seven-day doxycycline regimen. \n\nIn general, treatment is recommended for any partner or partners you had sexual contact with up to 60 days prior to having symptoms or a diagnosis of chlamydia. Some clinics are experimenting with what is called partner-delivered therapy. Patients are given a one-gram dose of azithromycin to give to their partner. There are legal and ethical debates about this approach but in some cases it may be the most effective way to stop the spread of chlamydia, because many infected male partners have no symptoms and are reluctant to seek treatment. Penicillin is not considered as effective against chlamydia as azithromycin or doxycycline. \n\nPID treatment begins with an antibiotic regimen that provides broad coverage against several different bacteria. Treatment should begin as soon as a diagnosis is made, because immediate therapy has been shown to reduce the risk of long-term consequences of PID. Studies are under way to determine whether oral therapy is as effective as parenteral (intravenous) therapy. There are several different treatment options recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Regardless of which type of therapy is chosen, hospitalization is no longer recommended, except in certain circumstances including: \n\nsurgery is needed\n\nthe patient is pregnant\n\nan oral outpatient regimen cannot be tolerated\n\na patient does not respond clinically to oral antimicrobial therapy \n\na patient has severe illness, including high fever, nausea and vomiting\n\na patient has tubo-ovarian abscess or a weakened immune system\n\nWhile medication can stop PID, some women may need surgery to remove scar tissue and blockages caused by long-term infection. The most common type of surgery involves laparoscopy.

How long does it take to heal a toe amputation when the patient has very limited blood circulation?

The time it takes to heal any wound depends on several things. Good circulation to the area helps with healing. It brings nutrients and oxygen that are needed to heal. You can't let your blood sugar levels be too high. If someones blood sugar is too high then basically they may never heal the wound. Also make sure that you are getting enough protein in your diet. Protein is what your body uses to repair skin.\nYou may want to consider visiting a wound care clinic. We have one in our area. On certain patients they are able to put them in a bariatric chamber which saturates the body with oxygen to promote healing. Hope this helps!

Should my Fiance and I get pre-marital counseling, even if we don't think we need it?

Definitely! It sounds like you are so in love that you can't possibly imagine having problems in marriage--just like every couple that's ever married. It's normal, it's healthy, it's good, and that's why you're getting married.\n\nBut realistically, these "in love" feelings don't last forever, usually not for more than a couple years. After you're married you're going to have to deal with issues like budgets, grocery shopping, and putting the toilet seat down. Not very romantic stuff.\n\nA good pre-marital counselor will get the two of you to talk about issues now that you wouldn't even think of until you're much farther down the road. And it's a lot better to discuss them now, while you still have a lot very positive feelings towards each other. It's also better to discuss them now, rather than in the heat of the moment when conflict can grow destructive.\n\nSo I definitely encourage you to get pre-marital counseling, and do all the homework the counselor gives you. The time in the office will be useful, but the time that you spend discussing the questions you receive will be even more profitable.

i need motivation for my final exams.how can i motivate myself?

i just have 3 days for studying...

My motivation was always that once they're done, you are free. (for the term, at least) It's a pretty good motivator.\n\nMy strategy was always to organize each course in my head, first. Takes about 5 minutes. If you've been given a study guide for the exam, immediately cross off what you are comfortable with. With what remains, look at the major topics and 2 to 3 subtopics. Review those. You'll do fine. You've lasted through the term, right? \n\nAnd the most important thing is this: Go in RELAXED. The moment you walk in the door, you are as ready as you will ever be. Time's up. It is what it is. No point in stressing any further from that moment on. Tell yourself that as you sit down. Not only is it the truth, it calms you down. Honest.\n\nah... one more thing... if you happen across a question that you really just can't seem to articulate an answer for, write a response and address it to the instructor - say that your understanding of this particular subject matter is 'insert something relative yet witty' and include whatever information you can summon up about that questions answer. (it's worked for me - even though my answer to a particular question may not have been what he was looking for, I still received credit for exerting genuine effort at a response). You'll do fine.

And dance your final dance\nThis is your final chance\nTo hold the one you love\nYou know you've waited long enough\n\nSo,\n\nBelieve that magic works\nDon't be afraid\nOf bein' hurt\nDon't let this magic die\nThe answer's there\nOh, just look in her eyes\n\nAnd make\nYour final move\nMmm, don't be scared\nShe wants you to\nIt's hard\nYou must be brave\nDon't let this moment slip the way\n\nBelieve that magic works\nDon't be afraid\nAfraid of bein' hurt\nNo, don't let this magic die\nOoh, the answer's there\nYeah, just look in her eyes\n\nAnd don't believe that magic can die\nNo, no, no, this magic can't die\nSo dance, your final dance.\n'Cause this is, your final chance.

what is the patriot act?

Patriot Act \nThe USA Patriot Act was passed by Congress as a response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. The Act allows federal officials greater authority in tracking and intercepting communications, both for purposes of law enforcement and foreign intelligence gathering. It gives the Secretary of the Treasury regulatory powers to combat corruption of US financial institutions for foreign money-laundering purposes; it more actively works to close our borders to foreign terrorists and to detain and remove those within our borders; it establishes new crimes, new penalties and new procedural techniques for use against domestic and international terrorists.\n\nThere has been protest over certain sections of the Patriot Act, even resulting in some civil liberties suits brought by the ACLU and other groups.

what prevents the walls of the digestive tract from being digested?

A couple of things, actually. Digestion starts from the moment you start to chew up your food as certain enzymes begin to break down the proteins. The gastrointestinal (GI) tract is protected from them to a large degree by mucus which lines the intestines and stomach. The mucus also protects the stomach from the acid which is kept in the stomach. \n\nSo that stuff which drives you nuts when you have a runny nose does really have something useful to do!

Police Officer Detectivelost job, unable to move on. Anyone have any suggestions?

Detective for 14 years with same City. Since then, he is unable to function b/c he feels his life is gone. No matter what I say to encourage, he has not been able to move on. This was 6 years ago and has undergone deep therapy and medications. Appreciate any advice from any one that has been through this. Thank you so much!

That's a tough thing for anyone to go through and probably more so for a police officer or detective. That is a high stress and emotionally draining job I would think. Does he go out or stay in a lot? If he stays in a lot, try to get him to go out. He needs to do things to build his self confidence again. Going to the gym, join a group that does things he has similiar interests in, take a couse at a local college just for fun ex: writing, art, etc. You didn't say if he could return to that work in another city or not. That might be one option. There are many other jobs he could get with his vast skills and experience and he could take some courses at a college to add to his skills and head his vocation in another direction. He could also volunteer to go to schools and talk to children. I would not push him to get a job until he is feeling better about himself and when that time comes, I would suggest a part-time one. Let him know that he has the power to turn a bad turn of events into a positive and meaningful one. He is fortunate to have such a caring and concerned friend like you. Good Luck with your friend and I hope things get better for him.

How to repair the keyboard of Averatec's laptop by myself?

I bougt my laptop at USA and can not send it to producer to repair. The keyboard does not work ocationally and sometimes, the cursor jumps chaoticly when typing

I had an Averatec 5400 series model computer that I bought from WalMart. I have had troubles with it adding spaces, freezing up and eventually not booting. I am not sure why you cannot send it to the producer, but I sent mine in for warranty repair (one year limit. It probably was about a thousand dollar laptop, you bought it because of the features (large RAM, DVD burner, cool silver color) and now you are having problems with what ended up being second rate parts used for assembly. How about using a USB keyboard and disabling the other one in the system hardware settings?

Why are we not so worried about blue shifted stars and galaxies?

Blue shifting galaxies are ones that are headed more towards us than away. The spectrum we see from a galaxy is a combination of its more or less random speed relative to us due to interations with other galaxies, and the redshift from the expansion of the universe.\n\nUnless a galaxy is very close, the redshift expansion will dominate so that only redshifts are detected.\n\nThe big exception is the Andromeda galaxy, which is a spiral just like the Milky Way galaxy, and a "mere" 2.9 million light years away and is the closest big galaxy to ours. \n\nIn terms of being worried about it well...Andromeda is heading out way, and well collide with the Milky Way Galaxy in about 4 billion years or so.\n\nThat means is one were to stand on Earth or Mars the sky would be increasingly taken up by the fuzzy blog of Andromeda until suddenly (relativity speaking) the whole things is a huge explosion of stars.\n\nNot a literal explosions. Stars are very far apart from each other relative to their size, and about zero stars will actually collide.

How do you feel regarding the current status of our border policy as it pertains to the U.S./ Mexico border?

The United States is still a great land of opportunity and also one of the few true melting pots in the world where all cultures are welcome and we easily adopt the best features (and often words) of many peoples. That said, we share lengthy borders with Canada and Mexico and we need to maintain peaceful and orderly borders with our friendly neighbors. We should never forget that immigrants helped build all that we have today.\n\nHowever if our borders were opened to the entire world, we would be hoplessly flooded with immgrants while draining other countries of valued citizens. A system must be provided that effectively permits honest individuals to enter our country and perform work that does not steal bread from our current low wage worker's tables. At the same time, workers should be permitted to temporarily visit to register and work and return back home with their earnings. By having an organized border system, visiting workers will not have to pay exploiters to be snuck across our border and treated as law breakers when they are caught. While they are performing useful work, they should receive medical care and education for their children, paid for in part by taxes on their income and property taxes on the buildings they live in. All peoples of the world should have equal access to our system for permanent residence and ultimately citizenship.\n\nPerhaps one day the entire world will be at peace and economically free such that as many Americans will live abroad as non-Americans choose to live here. But then the entire world would have to become a melting pot.

What is thought?

At its most basic level, thought can be viewed as a computation (which in turn can be viewed as a change of state optionally coupled with some kind of input and output). There are all kinds of thought that are dealt with by different parts of the brain. These include motor skills, instincts and higher level reasoning like planning, creativity and consciousness. Your question spans a huge number of disciplines including philosophy, neuroscience, computer science, psychology, etc and is not satisfactorily answered today even with a lifetime of study. However, advances in this area occur daily. I can suggest three books for starters.

Why doest the new year start one second late?

Scientists are delaying the start of 2006 by the first "leap second" in seven years, a timing tweak meant to make up for changes in the Earth's rotation.\n\nThe adjustment will be carried out by sticking an extra second into atomic clocks worldwide at the stroke of midnight Coordinated Universal Time, the widely adopted international standard, the US National Institute of Standards and Technology said this week.\n\nFor more info, visit:\nhttp://www.theage.com.au/news/world/a-year-late/2005/12/25/1135445473624.html

Did anyone else open a bank account with emigrant.com? What do you think of it?

I have and it is great. The rate is one of the best ones around and it doesn't have a minimum. It's fairly easy to use although getting started usually takes a week or so since they send you something in the mail first to verify you. But once you get started it's very easy to just transfer some money to and from your checking account.\n\nTwo thumbs up from me.

Over the histroy of MGM studios, how many lions did they use for their opening "roaring lion" clips.

I've always had a suspicion that the classic movie opening used by MGM - I've read the big cat is affectionately known as Leo - is not just a depiction of one lion over their 70 years, but is in fact at least two different lions.\n\nSome movies seem to show a lion with a light gold color of fur, while others seem to show one with a more darkish tint. Does any body know exactly how many have been used. I think this would make a great trvia question. A source would be appretiated.

According to this site, there were four different lions used

256mb ram 64mb graphics memory

Having low video memory puts the strain on the CPU and the computer's main memory. However, you can try to improve the system resources by doing the following:\n\n1. If you are offline turn off the anti-virus software.\n2. Close any unnecessary software such as instant messengers residing in the system tray (usually by right-clicking the icons and selecting close or exit).\n3. Empty the Recycle Bin\n4. Defragment the hard drive on a monthly basis.\n5. Before starting the game, right-click on the desktop and select refresh to refresh the memory.
