Are mortgage rates going to go up significantly in the next few months?
|
With the Federal Reserve likely to raise rates again this week, it will affect mortgage rates. But a swing of more than 1% over the next 2 to 3 months is highly unlikely given the history over the past 5 years.

How much weight did you lose on Atkins or the South Beach Diet? How long did it take you to lose the weight?
|
Did you have any 'side effects' from these diets, like feeling faint, or getting head rushes, or anything else?
|
My wife lost almost 100 pounds on Atkins. The first 3 weeks were tough, but then she had an easier time. If you go on Atkins, buy the book and follow Dr. Atkins advice to the letter. It's not a cheap diet. It's very dangerous if you don't take all the proper vitamins, etc. She lost 30 to 40 pounds in the first couple of months. It was amazing. I feel like the luckiest man in the world - I have a new, more beautiful, happier, healthier wife.

How do you approach your supervisor/manager about job discrimination in a small company?
|
This would depend upon the supervisor, the type of discrimination and the company.\nIf the supervisor is open and a “people person,” you can approach him or her directly. If the supervisor is a company stooge, by all means avoid this.\nIf the discrimination is about something very minor, it will probably do no good to complain. Usually these items get placed under “sour grapes” or “disgruntled employee” and nothing happens except a black mark in your records. If the item is major, consider carefully all of the consequences before becoming a “whistle blower.”\nUsually you will need the help of a lawyer specializing in labor law.

|
A linker error means that you have the correct header files included (so your #include's are fine), but you're not linking to the correct libraries (usually .lib files). You need to find the libraries (usually in a lib folder near the include files) and tell the linker to use them.

How do blacklights work?
|
A black light emits light in the ultraviolet range with a wavelength not visible to the naked eye; thus black light (yes, the lamp filament may also emit a visable glow).\n\nWhen ultraviolet light photons (which have a very short energetic and penetrating wave length - where X-rays are even shorter and more penetrating) strike the surface of certain materials, electrons absorb the photon's energy and are knocked out of their low energy electron shells to higher energy shells. When the electrons fall back to lower energy states, the absorbed energy is released emitting a characteristic phosphoresence color. This often can be used to identify certain minerals that exhibit crystaline structure.

Cathinone is a psychoactive alkaloid found in the leaves of the khat plant. It is a natural amphetamine and was discovered some fifteen years ago in the leaves of the khat bush. This plant grows in East Africa and in southern Arabia.

Why is marijuana illegal while tobacco continues to kill and get rich?
|
"Until 1937, consumption and sale of cannabis was legal in most American states. In some areas it could be openly purchased in bulk from grocers or in cigarette form at newsstands, though an increasing number of states had begun to outlaw it. In that year, federal law made possession or transfer of cannabis (without the purchase of a by-then-incriminating tax stamp) illegal throughout the United States. This was contrary to the advice of the American Medical Association at the time. Legal opinions of the time held that the federal government could not outlaw it entirely. The tax was $100 per pound of hemp, even for clothes or rope. The expense, extremely high for that time, was such that people stopped openly buying and making it.\n\nThe decision of the U.S. Congress was based in part on testimony derived from articles in the newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst, who was heavily interested in DuPont Inc. Some analysts theorize DuPont wanted to boost declining post-war textile sales, and wished to eliminate hemp fiber as competition. Many argue that this seems unlikely given DuPont's lack of concern with the legal status of cotton, wool, and linen; although it should be noted that hemp's textile potential had not yet been largely exploited, while textile factories already had made large investments in equipment to handle cotton, wool, and linen. Others argue that Dupont wanted to eliminate cannabis because its high natural cellulose content made it a viable alternative to the company's developing innovation: modern plastic. Still, others could argue that hemp could never truly compete with the high strength and elasticity of synthetics, such as nylon. Furthermore, hemp would have been an easy target due to its intoxicating effect, while no rational justification could have been made for outlawing cotton, wool, or linen."

How do you choose the size of surfboards?
|
Selecting the size of your surfboard is based on personal preference. Usually the two main determining factors on size selection is speed and manuverability. Length is the general factor in effecting speed, but also the rocker (curvature of the nose), width of the board, curvature of the bottom of the board, and buoyancy (thickness and material of board). General factor in effecting manuverability is tail shape, tail shape, thickness of the rails, and shape of the rails.\nThe type of waves and conditions you ride in should effect the size of the board you choose.\nTrial and error is the only true way to find the right type of board. If you can paddle the board you should be able to ride it.

Since the Earth is round, what about the people that lives in the south pole why dont they walk upside down?
|
Up and down are defined by where you feel gravity pulling. Usually all you see will be pulled into the same direction as yourself, so everything will appear right side up.\n\nHowever, unless you live on the north pole, your "up" won't be identical to "north". The angle by which your "up" direction is different from north is called latitude. My guess is that you live at roughly 45° latitude, that half sideways. Still feels like upright, doesn't it?

What causes the Condorcet voting paradox?
|
In a Condorcet election with 3 candidates (A, B, C), it is mathematically possible that A wins the race between A and B, B wins the race between B and C, and C wins the race between C and A. In short, A>B>C>A. What causes this paradox? I know how the math works, but what kinds of realistic scenarios could produce this kind of result? Is it normally caused by a group of voters being "wrong", i.e. using rankings that don't make sense, or can this situation arise even if all the voters make carefully reasoned decisions, and all the voters are completely familiar with all the candidates? If so, can you give an example?
|
It relates to humans not being rational - one of the axioms of rationality is that preference is transitive - that is, if I like A better than B, and B better than C, then I must like A better than C.\n\nUnfortunately, in studies, humans often create circular rankings like the one you describe when asked to make each judgment independently - particularly when they don't think about any given judgement in depth.\n\nMore information should be available by researching "decision making" and "reasoning", depending on the timescale of the judgments - decision making pertains to snap decisions, whereas reasoning tends to involve choices with multiple seconds or minutes of thought.

why GSM has different uplink and downlink frequency, and uplink is less than downlink!!?
|
Becuase your mobile provider has to pay for a freqency range to use and generally mobile phones are used to recieve more than send. Also if you compare the size of the transmitter/arial and battery in your mobile to a base station transmitter you will see there are also physical reasons why you can't transmit faster.\nFor more details you should look into exactly what system your mobile uses GSM is a very wide-ranging term. You should look up technologies such as code division multiple access and the general packet radio service as well as comparing 2,2.5 and 3g technologies.

GIS is an amazing tool for almost anything. In my opinion you could use GIS for your application of utility lines by determining population, useage of the utility in an area, the economy of the area, and other factors that are important to your field. GIS then can map these data sets and help you determine where they are needed, where you can cut back and what changes can be made to make better use of utilities.

Is Bush a good president?
|
I feel he is by far the worst president in the history of our country. He demonstrates absolutely no understanding of statesmanship, competence, and the ability to govern by compromise. \n Our government has three branches of government. It is obvious that disagreements on policy and its execution will occur. Bush is blind to anything that differs with his own policy and pushes forward an agenda that ignores all suggestion of other views.\n His entire presidency is a failed attempt at prosecuting a war which has cost the lives of 2000+ Americans and over 30,000 Iraqis in the name of \nDemocracy. That price is not worth the cost in lives and money. That war has been singularly the most flawed effort in our history.\n His economic policies are based on cruelty and fantasy. The rich Americans are profitting from every single proposal, while the poor are suffering. \n His reaction to Katrina demonstrates that we are unready for an attack on our country by terrorists even after the September 11 attack which should have woke us up. His appointment of cronies to sensitive offices that require \ncompetence demonstrate his own lack of perception of excellence. \n To answer those who say he is maligned, send your children to fight the war in Iraq and if they come back in a body bag see if you say the same thing!!!!! Bush and his friends have not sent one of their own.\n Finally, anyone with his resume would have been turned down for both the job of Texas governor and President of the United States if his last name weren't Bush. If his name were Smith he would have been laughed off the American political stage and sent back to drink his way to oblivion.

How valid is the Bible, considering it was written thousands of years ago?
|
This is not an attack on any religion at all, it's just a question. Do you believe the Bible is the divine word of God and is timeless? Or do you believe it to be simply a guide for living, not to be taken literally, and is so ancient that it has lost credibility to the current times?
|
Not only was it written thousands of years ago and changed many times, the first writings of the gospel were put down many years after Christ's death...which explains why they don't agree. More importantly, the religion of Christianity was created by Paul, who never met Jesus. He created it out of the popular practice of the time: sacrifice. Jesus is seen as the ultimate sacrifice offered to God, which frees everyone from sin. Basically a BIG version of sacrificing a goat to god for a good harvest. Jesus had nothing to do with the creating of the religion. As always, it's just a bunch of guys trying to get people to do what they want. Religion is simply the mystical version of politics.

I love Christmas. I love the idea of passing on the celebrating of the birth of Christ to the children. I hate the commercialization and the "Keeping up with the Jones'" aspect of it, that's so prevalent nowadays. I remember a day when parents didn't have to over-extend their credit and take out a second mortgage on their house to buy presents for the children.\n\nI wish there was a way to celebrate His birth closer to the "real" date that it "actually" took place. I guess it would be difficult to celebrate the birth of Christ before Easter when we commemorate His death on the cross.

Well, that depends upon which browser you are using. The two most popular are Microsoft Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, so I will give explanations for how to clear past search information in both.\n\nIn Internet Explorer, you must click on the "Tools" option at the top of the browser (between "Favorites" and "Help"). A menu will appear. Click on the "Content" tab at the top of this menu. In this tab, you will see, under the Personal Information section, a button that says "AutoComplete". Click on it and uncheck the "Forms" box. If you want to get rid of AutoComplete for web addresses and user name and password forms, uncheck those too. You may also want to clear saved data. You can do that on that menu as well.\n\nFor Firefox, click the Tools option as above (except this time it is between "Bookmarks" and "Help" instead of "Favorites" and "Help"). Go to "Options". A menu will appear as above. Then click on the "privacy" button. After that, click on the "Saved Forms" tab. Uncheck the "Save information I enter in forms and the Search bar" box and clear saved forms data.

How can I best help someone who is bi-polar?
|
How can someone best help someone who is bi-polar (manic-depressive) and who may be a significant other, friend, relative, colleague, etc.?
|
Understand it as well as possible and then be supportive of treatments. This FAQ's might help you.\n\n1. What is bipolar disorder? \n\nBipolar disorder is a common, recurrent, severe psychiatric illness that affects an individual's mood, behavior and ability to think clearly. It occurs in 1% to 2% of the population in the United States. A variant, called bipolar II disorder, is probably even more common and occurs in up to 3% of the general population in this country. \n\n2. What are the differences between bipolar I and bipolar II disorders? \n\nBipolar I disorder is characterized by episodes of mania that alternate with periods of depression or periods in which individuals have simultaneously occurring manic and depressive symptoms called mixed states. In contrast, bipolar II disorder is characterized by recurrent episodes of depression and milder symptoms of mania, called hypomania. Hypomanic episodes typically do not impair an individual's ability to function to the extent that full-blown manic episodes do additionally; hypomanic episodes are not complicated by psychotic symptoms. \n\n3. What is rapid cycling? \n\nThe term rapid cycling was originally coined by David Dunner, M.D., and Ron Fieve, M.D., in the 1970s when they identified a group of individuals who did not respond well to lithium. These patients typically had four or more episodes of mania or depression in the 12-month interval prior to lithium treatment. This definition has been adopted formally by DSM-IV (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th ed.) and specifically means the occurrence of four or more mood episodes within the preceding year. In severe cases, rapid cycling can occur even within a one-day period. \n\n4. At what age does bipolar disorder appear? \n\nBipolar disorder most commonly presents in the late teens and early 20s. Unfortunately, for most individuals, lifelong treatment may be required to prevent recurrent manic and depressive episodes. Equally unfortunate is evidence that the illness often goes undiagnosed and untreated for many years; the longer the illness progresses without treatment, the greater the impairment in an individual's psychological, educational and vocational development. Additionally, untreated bipolar disorder carries a high risk of suicide. \n\n5. Is bipolar disorder genetic? \n\nBipolar disorder, among all psychiatric illnesses, may have the greatest genetic contribution. For instance, if an individual has a parent with bipolar disorder, the chance that the individual's child will have bipolar disorder is about nine-fold greater than in the general population, with the risk rising from about 1% to about 10%. The inheritability of this illness is estimated to be anywhere from 50% to 80%. On the other hand, if a person with bipolar disorder is thinking about having children, there are still good odds that the child will not have bipolar illness. So the genetic determinants of the illness are complicated. \n\n6. How is bipolar disorder treated? \n\nThe cornerstone of treatment is medications that treat acute manic, depressive or mixed episodes, and which, in the long run, attempt to prevent the recurrence of these episodes. Such medications include lithium, divalproex (Depakote) and, more recently, some of the atypical antipsychotics as well as antidepressants. \n\nPsychotherapy plays an important role in improving the course and outcome of this illness in people. In particular, those with bipolar disorder often have strained relationships with loved ones because of their experiences during manic or depressive episodes; psychotherapy can help repair these torn relationships. In addition, psychotherapy can educate people about the signs and symptoms of their illness, how to pay attention to warning signs and how to nip emerging episodes in the bud. Psychotherapy can also help individuals cope with the stress that can sometimes precipitate manic or depressive episodes. \n\n7. What med

What's connected to the other side of your belly button?

just inside your belly button is a ligament that attaches near your bladder. This was originally a bundle of blood vessels passing through the umbilicus (umbilical cord); after birth these blood vessels, being no longer necessary, close up to form a ligament.

was there a windows virus/trojan horse in 1999 that could take over your computer in your absence?
|
could such a virus/trojan horse make it look like you had done things on your computer when in fact you had not? a relationship depends on the answer to this question
|
I found this on CERT; it's possible that the Melissa virus could have made it look like you did something but it was actually the virus.\n\n\nCERT® Advisory CA-1999-04 Melissa Macro Virus\nOriginal issue date: March 27, 1999\nLast revised: March 31, 1999\n\nA complete revision history is at the end of this file. \n\nSystems Affected\nMachines with Microsoft Word 97 or Word 2000 \nAny mail handling system could experience performance problems or a denial of service as a result of the propagation of this macro virus. \nOverview\nAt approximately 2:00 PM GMT-5 on Friday March 26 1999 we began receiving reports of a Microsoft Word 97 and Word 2000 macro virus which is propagating via email attachments. The number and variety of reports we have received indicate that this is a widespread attack affecting a variety of sites. \n\nOur analysis of this macro virus indicates that human action (in the form of a user opening an infected Word document) is required for this virus to propagate. It is possible that under some mailer configurations, a user might automatically open an infected document received in the form of an email attachment. This macro virus is not known to exploit any new vulnerabilities. While the primary transport mechanism of this virus is via email, any way of transferring files can also propagate the virus. \n\n. . .\n\nUpon execution, the virus first lowers the macro security settings to permit all macros to run when documents are opened in the future. Therefore, the user will not be notified when the virus is executed in the future.

When will we return to an age of reason rather than faith?

It just seems odd that humans keep moving forward scientifically, but we can't seem to move forward in our thinking otherwise. Does it not seem odd to anyone else that so many millions of humans are living (at least claiming to live) by rules written in an entirely different stage of human development? I mean really- according to the Bible, the earth came into existence 6,000 years AFTER we know for a fact that Sumerians were brewing beer. Things just don't add up. Reason, people. Reason.

Some people says that Usama and Saddam are CIA agents.. Is this true???????
|
Although I am 99.999% sure that they are not currently CIA agents, it would not surprise me in the slightest to learn that they had been on the payroll at one time. But then, what is wrong with that. Times change, enemies become allies, allies become enemies. Russia was an ally during WWII, but then our mortal enemy right after. I believe that during the Russian occupation of Afghanistan that Usama was heavily funded by us because he helped fight a greater enemy. It isn't that we agreed with his policies then, it is just that he was a lesser threat than Russia was. Same kind of situation with Iraq and Iran. A the time, Saddam was the lesser threat than was Iran. Remember, enemy of my enemy can sometimes be my temporary freind.

What is the longest anyone has gone without sleep?
|
Your question doesn't have a clear answer, unfortunately....and for a couple of reasons. The longest anyone has ever lived without sleeping at all is about a week and a half to two weeks. Sleeping being the main vehicle of the body's rebuilding and revitalizing processes, without it, there is no way for the body to recover from fatigue and damage. \n\nThe body can survive on very little sleep, however there are side affects if this isn't done cautiously. Hallucinations, confusion, disturbed bodily processes, and a very highly suspeptible rate for sickness follow those who dare to "cheat" sleep with the body. Even with drug abusers where they claim to have not slept in weeks, the truth is that the body shuts down at certain points during their "drug induced conscious time periods" and the drug abuser probably didn't even realize it. Sleep is so important that without certain measures taken, the body will, at some point, simply shut down and sleep out of pure necessity for survival. The body is known for having a sense for survival that is sub-conscious to most people. \n\nAll this is a bit misleading though. One function of meditation is to take the body into a waking sleep, where the heart rate slows and the body recovers, just like it does in deep sleep. The body can live much, much longer in this state and it has been proven to be a health promoting practice. It is rumored that people have survived extremely long periods of time without ill affects by using certain meditation techniques in place of sleep. But this is obviously not a normal practice and has not been made a place in modern science yet.\n\nSo the answer is a bit more than what you probably expected, but it should be more clear now.

The following is the complete list of software within it:\nActivity Based Management \nFinancial Analyzer \nLease Management\nAdvanced Collections \nFinancial Consolidation Hub\nLoans\nAssets\nGeneral Ledger\nPayables\nBalanced Scorecard\niAssets\nProperty Manager\nBill Presentment Architecture\nInternal Controls Manager\nReceivables\nCash Management\nInternet Expenses\nSales Analyzer\nDaily Business Intelligence for Financials \niPayment\nTreasury\nEnterprise Planning and Budgeting iReceivables\n\nYou can buy the entire suite of software from Oracle Corporation or buy individual software package within Oracle applications. It is suitable for medium and large corporation.\n\nOracle applications is designed to be used out-of-the-box. However, to configure, install and customize any single software within Oracle financial suite usually takes months of work involving multiple people. This is called implementation stage of the software. People usually hire consulting firms to do this job.\n\nThe best resource to read about it is from the Oracle web site. They have online manual for each of the softwares so you don't have to buy them. Click on the link "sources" to get to the Oracle's web page specifically on Oracle financials.

wht are plasama state and how is it useful in fusion reactors?
|
Plasma states exist when matter is so hot that electrons are stripped from atoms leaving them ionized. If plasma can be made hot enough it may simulate the conditions of the sun's interior where fusion of hydrogen is the principle producer of energy. Fortunately, plasma being ionized can be controlled or bottled up in a fusion reactor using magnetic fields preventing the hot plasma from reaching and melting the chamber walls. Plasma is so hot that the particles are traveling at great speeds and therefore collisions may occur that can cause nuclei to approach close enough to interact resulting in fusion and the release of energy. Energy is released because the "nuclear glue" holding the fused particle together is less than the glue that held the individual particles together. The excess glue is converted to energy using Einsteins equation E=mc2, where the glue represents a very small quantity of mass that produces a relatively large amount of energy.

The first was by speakers of languages in the Scandinavian branch of the Germanic family, who colonised parts of Britain in the 8th and 9th centuries. The second wave was of the Normans in the 11th century, who spoke a variety of French.

These kings trusted the British - You know what happened to them!\n- 20 Centuries back Jesus Christ trusted his followers - what happened\n- Let's go to the begining - GOD trusted ADAM - my boy dont eat that apple - what happened?\n\nSo my dear, there are always people whom you can trust & whom you cannot - even today there r quite a lot of people whom you can really count on - wish u all the best.

Schauffhausen literally means “House of abolishing.” Not a bad name for a psychiatrist scoundrel. The name is mostly associated with the northern most area of Switzerland.
