8,200	4Computers & Internet	HOW TO OPEN .JSP FILES?		To open them for editing, you can use any standard text editor. I like JCreator, but anything from Notepad to Dreamweaver will work.\n\nTo open them for viewing, you'll need a browser, but you can't just open it directly or it will look strange. It has to be served to your browser via a "servlet container." A servlet container translates JavaServer Pages (JSP) code into straight HTML that the browser can render.\n\nApache Tomcat is the reference implementation of a servlet container. You can download it for free at tomcat.apache.org.
8,201	4Computers & Internet	Can you tell me a program that shuts down your compuer at a time that you set it for?	Make sure it's on purpose. Not like a virus or something.	In windows, you can schedule a task. Here is how\n\nGo to Start->Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks\n\nClick on "Add scheduled Task". Browse to "C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe". Set the frequency/date/time and you are all set.\n\n(The path of where the windows directory is, differs if you have installed your OS on a different partition like D: or E:)\n\nIn UNIX, you can write a simple shell script to do the job or use the "at" command.

8,203	2Health	what is best pair of pants a slim person should wear that would go with their figure best?		Personally, I feel that if you would describe yourself as say, tall and lanky, your best bet for pant-style would be "flare-legs". (It's never a good idea for a tall/ very slim person to wear boot-cut or straight-leg types as the cut of the jean only further elongates one's frame.) Flares are great for disguising slimmer legs and they also add a definite femininity to any woman's outfit. Likewise, be sure to stick to darker demin and fabrics.
8,204	5Sports	I need some help on the basics of Rugby.?	Can you please explain the basic rules of Rugby for me. That would be really helpful. And are there any cool tricks or tips you have to share? Where can you by a rugby? Sports Authority? Modells?	Assuming you mean rugby union, Wikipedia has an excellent summary of the game.\n\nSports Authority and Modell's won't have rugby gear. The internet is your best bet. \n\nThe only tip I can share is that if you can't avoid being tackled, run into the tackler low, shoulder first, and at full speed. Make him wish he'd let you run by him.
8,205	9Politics & Government	Any isn't G.W. Bush being impeached?	I don't get it.. he's done a lot more harm than Clinton, yet it was Clinton who faced impeachment.	Weather Observer, your pure genious! Yeah Clinton did do something that is impeachable... He lied to everyone in the world. Clinton wasn't impeached because of what he did with Monica, but more of that he lied to us. He probably wouldn't have gotten impeached if he came out and told the truth and apologized, and cleaned up his act. President Bush has done nothing wrong, You just want him impeached because you don't share the same morals, and you are agaisnt "the war on terror" (how in the world could someone be agaisnt a war on terror?!?!). Those reasons are not probable causes for impeachment.

8,213	9Politics & Government	When was the revolutionary war?		The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a war fought primarily between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies in North America. The war began largely as a colonial revolt against the economic policies of the British Empire, and eventually widened far beyond British North America, with France, Spain, and the Netherlands entering the war against Great Britain. Additionally, many American Indians fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture colonial coastal cities, but control of the countryside largely eluded them. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States of America. Because a great number of colonists fled the thirteen colonies and settled in the north, the war also paved the way for the eventual creation of what would become Canada.

8,215	4Computers & Internet	Do you think Yahoo Answers is ready to be removed Form Its "BETA" stage?		No way. It has a long way to go. For instance there are still several features that we have yet to see, the featured users page for one and the colors that everyone seems to be so anxious to see.\n\nThey also have to put up with our silly suggestions and sort through them to see what is requested most.

"Desperate Housewives" is located in Wisteria Lane in the fictional town of Fairview.\n\nYes, Bree Van De Kamp is described as "the perfect mother." Her son then makes a remark about Stepford. This is most likely a reference to the movie(s), The Stepford Wives (1975) (starring Katharine Ross) or the recent remake, The Stepford Wives (2004) (starring Nicole Kidman). The women living in the town of Stepford are too perfect à la Bree, and turn out to be robots.
8,228	9Politics & Government	Why do people HATE George W. Bush?	I can understand how people would disagree with his policies. I can understand the "Cindy Sheehans" who believe Bush killed their sons.

Bush, please give me a logical reason why you hate him. I'm just trying to get an understand of how people can hate a man who has very little personal influence in their lives.

8,249	6Business & Finance	what do i need to de to prove in court that i am a better parent than the mother.?	I have filed for custody of my 7 year old son.	because traditionally, even though the father went out to work to provide for his family, the mother was the primary carer for the children, spending much more time with them and creating a closer bond.

In most cases the mother will still be the favourite of the courts but many more fathers are now being recognised as the 'better' parent.
8,250	0Society & Culture	Does most magic originate from the magi?	MAGIC 1 (i.e. art magic ; Lat. ars magica), the general term for the practice and power of wonder-working, as depending on the employment of supposed supernatural agencies. Etymologically the Gr. uctyeta meant the science and religion. of the magi, or priests of Zoroaster, as known among the Greeks; in this sense it was opposed to ~yoi~mLa (?necromancy) and cl~apuaKeLa (the use of drugs) ; but this distinction was not universally recognized, and yo~mLa is often used as a synonym of ~sayeLa There is no general agreement as to the proper definition of magic, which depends on the view taken of religion.	Most likely, magic was developed in Babylon, but hardly as late as 7BC. Most likely 3,500BC during the building of the tower of Babel. However, for an actual account, read Exodus when Moses went head to head with Janis and Jambres.

He's really popular right now and based on his recommendation of a small stock, the stock could go through the roof. But for a large stock (such as an Intel, MS, etc.), the effect would be marginal and short-lived at best.
8,262	7Entertainment & Music	Do you think Alsan In Narnia is a depiction Of Jesus? After all he kills-with prejudice-which Jesus would not		the books were written by Clive Staples Lewis, who was a Christian man and did a great deal of religious writing, like the Screwtape Letters. By the way, that's a really good book. You can see a great deal of religious themes in his books, such as in the first book, The Magician's Nephew, with the apple in the garden that he must take because Aslan bid him to, and not eat one himself or take one for his sick mother, as Jadis tells him to. That would be the story of the Fall, Jadis being the Serpent. Also, in the Last Battle, the seventh book in the series, there is that whole thing with Tash, the god of Calormen, and Aslan, the deity of Narnia. It's hard to explain, you'll just have to read, but it does look like it was influenced by the author's views on religion. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, we see the theme of faith without proof, a key in religion, in the part with Lucy and Tumnus and the others who don't beleive in Narnia at first. Then when Aslan sacrifices himself to save Edmund,it is like Jesus dying to save us from hell. He rises from the Stone Table as Jesus rose from the cave they sealed him in.\n\nHowever, C. S. Lewis has stated himself that he in no way intinded The Chronicles of Narnia to come across as religious works, merely a series of fairy tales written for Lucy, his neice or something like that.\n\nI think, however, that because he was such a religious man and had written a great deal of religious works, that in his tales, he subconsciously weaved a storyline that was very familiar to him, that of religion. He wanted to make a good tale, and his subconscious mind associated religion with that, and thus the seemingly religious parts in his books.\n\nBut he did not intend, at least this is what he said, for Aslan to come across as a depiction of Jesus.

8,266	1Science & Mathematics	how was plastic invented?	how	Until very recently, plastic was the wunderkind of the western world. Sleek symbol of modernity and human progress, the invention of plastic has, arguably, touched more lives than any other technological breakthrough. It replaced old and familiar things. The elegant dark heaviness of desks and tables gave way to lighter, pastel colored furnishings, changing the look and feel of home and office. \n\n\nPlastic is perfect for this modern age. It is light, strong, easily molded and durable. It is a throwaway substance, part of the planned obsolescence of modern life. As with synthetic fabrics, many of which are made from plastic, it’s a case of technology improving on nature, a symbol of a less burdensome, more colorful lifestyle. \n\n\n \nOk, I’ll pause now for brickbats from the Environmentalists. Truth is, in this crowded age, some plastics are a bit too cheap and disposable, and much too durable. We want our distant descendants to remember us by the Golden Gate Bridge, the Empire State Building, not by the five billion everlasting Styrofoam cups that are tossed away by Americans every year, or the thousands of tons of plastic bottles, bags, and wrappers, hurled from speeding cars to float forever across the face of the earth. I’m an optimist, though. Scientists are already designing plastics that will simulate nature and return their substance to the earth. \n\n\nRecycling is also gaining momentum, and plastic can be used over and over, remolded to form new food and drink containers, waterproof bags, carpets, industrial paints, flower pots, fences, benches, industrial pallets, and other products. In 1994, 565 million pounds of plastic bottles were recycled, from about 2.5 billion pounds produced. The figure for recycling could probably be bumped up to a billion pounds. And, as with most other procedures involving plastic, recycling is fairly easy. \n\n\nIndeed, the word plastic comes from the Greek word ‘plastikos’, meaning moldable. Since plastic is easy to manufacture, strong, and durable, and is a good insulator to boot, it has made inroads against such traditional materials as natural fibers, wood, metal, and rubber. In many cases, the more traditional products have moved upmarket, while plastic has cheerfully occupied many humdrum, unglamorous niches. Cheap toys, cheap fabrics, cheap furniture, casing, decorations, all are within the purview of this versatile product. Plastic has also taken on some sterner stuff, such as plumbing conduits, gears, bearings, and automobile shells. \n\n\nPlastic had an inauspicious birth. An Englishman, Alexander Parkes, looking for collodion in his medicine cabinet to staunch a wound, discovered that it had gelled into a tough rubbery substance. He was an enterprising man who saw the possibilities, if this substance could be molded. Unfortunately, molding required heat, and heating always made the substance explode. Licking his wounds, Parkes worked on, and finally produced a suitable mixture of collodion, camphor, and ethanol. Parkesine, the first synthetic plastic, was launched in 1865, and the Xylonite company was formed a year later. \n\n\nIn the USA, the Hyatt brothers were working on the same lines, and invented a similar material, which they called celluloid. The year was 1869. In 1877, the Hyatt Company and Xylonite merged into the British Xylonite Company, which exists today as BXL Plastics Ltd. \n\n\nThe man who influenced the plastics industry more than any other, however, was a Belgian, Leo Beakland, who immigrated to the USA in 1889 to better use his talents. In 1907 he invented Bakelite which would dominate plastics for the next 50 years. By 1930, gramophone records, billiard balls (originally made from elephant tusks!), telephones, camera cases, radios and chairs were all made of the new super plastic. \n\n\nHowever, Bakelite really took off after the patent expired in 1927. As the Great Depression took hold, Bakelite came to be seen as a ray of hope for several emb

If it's been that long, I would call your doctor to let him know what's going on, and if need be, see an otolaryngologist. You can also make your own preventive eardrops by mixing equal parts white vinegar and rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol.

what is best pair of pants a slim person should wear that would go with their figure best?

Personally, I feel that if you would describe yourself as say, tall and lanky, your best bet for pant-style would be "flare-legs". (It's never a good idea for a tall/ very slim person to wear boot-cut or straight-leg types as the cut of the jean only further elongates one's frame.) Flares are great for disguising slimmer legs and they also add a definite femininity to any woman's outfit. Likewise, be sure to stick to darker demin and fabrics.

When was the revolutionary war?

The American Revolutionary War (1775–1783), also known as the American War of Independence, was a war fought primarily between Great Britain and revolutionaries within thirteen British colonies in North America. The war began largely as a colonial revolt against the economic policies of the British Empire, and eventually widened far beyond British North America, with France, Spain, and the Netherlands entering the war against Great Britain. Additionally, many American Indians fought on both sides of the conflict.\n\nThroughout the war, the British were able to use their naval superiority to capture colonial coastal cities, but control of the countryside largely eluded them. French involvement proved decisive, with a naval victory in the Chesapeake leading to the surrender of a British army at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized the independence of the United States of America. Because a great number of colonists fled the thirteen colonies and settled in the north, the war also paved the way for the eventual creation of what would become Canada.

in wich chemical i can dissolve pmma scrap to make the sheets again?

PMMA is a polymer (poly-methyl-methacrylate) which can be dissolved in a number of organic solvents. n-hexane, n-heptane, cyclohexane, benzene, toluene, ethyl benzene, styrene, acetone, ethyl ether, methanol, ethanol, methyl methacrylate(MMA), trichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran and ethyl acetate can all be used.\n\nprobably the best choice is acetone, acetic acid or ethanol since they are cheap and easy to come by. you will probably have to heat it if the PMMA is already polymerized.

what do i need to de to prove in court that i am a better parent than the mother.?

I have filed for custody of my 7 year old son.

because traditionally, even though the father went out to work to provide for his family, the mother was the primary carer for the children, spending much more time with them and creating a closer bond. Obviously this system is now antiquated and needs a complete overhaul to establish what is actually in the best interests of the child. In most cases the mother will still be the favourite of the courts but many more fathers are now being recognised as the 'better' parent.

Does most magic originate from the magi?

MAGIC 1 (i.e. art magic ; Lat. ars magica), the general term for the practice and power of wonder-working, as depending on the employment of supposed supernatural agencies. Etymologically the Gr. uctyeta meant the science and religion. of the magi, or priests of Zoroaster, as known among the Greeks; in this sense it was opposed to ~yoi~mLa (?necromancy) and cl~apuaKeLa (the use of drugs) ; but this distinction was not universally recognized, and yo~mLa is often used as a synonym of ~sayeLa There is no general agreement as to the proper definition of magic, which depends on the view taken of religion.

Most likely, magic was developed in Babylon, but hardly as late as 7BC. Most likely 3,500BC during the building of the tower of Babel. However, for an actual account, read Exodus when Moses went head to head with Janis and Jambres.

Do you think Alsan In Narnia is a depiction Of Jesus? After all he kills-with prejudice-which Jesus would not

the books were written by Clive Staples Lewis, who was a Christian man and did a great deal of religious writing, like the Screwtape Letters. By the way, that's a really good book. You can see a great deal of religious themes in his books, such as in the first book, The Magician's Nephew, with the apple in the garden that he must take because Aslan bid him to, and not eat one himself or take one for his sick mother, as Jadis tells him to. That would be the story of the Fall, Jadis being the Serpent. Also, in the Last Battle, the seventh book in the series, there is that whole thing with Tash, the god of Calormen, and Aslan, the deity of Narnia. It's hard to explain, you'll just have to read, but it does look like it was influenced by the author's views on religion. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, we see the theme of faith without proof, a key in religion, in the part with Lucy and Tumnus and the others who don't beleive in Narnia at first. Then when Aslan sacrifices himself to save Edmund,it is like Jesus dying to save us from hell. He rises from the Stone Table as Jesus rose from the cave they sealed him in.\n\nHowever, C. S. Lewis has stated himself that he in no way intinded The Chronicles of Narnia to come across as religious works, merely a series of fairy tales written for Lucy, his neice or something like that.\n\nI think, however, that because he was such a religious man and had written a great deal of religious works, that in his tales, he subconsciously weaved a storyline that was very familiar to him, that of religion. He wanted to make a good tale, and his subconscious mind associated religion with that, and thus the seemingly religious parts in his books.\n\nBut he did not intend, at least this is what he said, for Aslan to come across as a depiction of Jesus.

how was plastic invented?

how

Until very recently, plastic was the wunderkind of the western world. Sleek symbol of modernity and human progress, the invention of plastic has, arguably, touched more lives than any other technological breakthrough. It replaced old and familiar things. The elegant dark heaviness of desks and tables gave way to lighter, pastel colored furnishings, changing the look and feel of home and office. \n\n\nPlastic is perfect for this modern age. It is light, strong, easily molded and durable. It is a throwaway substance, part of the planned obsolescence of modern life. As with synthetic fabrics, many of which are made from plastic, it’s a case of technology improving on nature, a symbol of a less burdensome, more colorful lifestyle. \n\n\n \nOk, I’ll pause now for brickbats from the Environmentalists. Truth is, in this crowded age, some plastics are a bit too cheap and disposable, and much too durable. We want our distant descendants to remember us by the Golden Gate Bridge, the Empire State Building, not by the five billion everlasting Styrofoam cups that are tossed away by Americans every year, or the thousands of tons of plastic bottles, bags, and wrappers, hurled from speeding cars to float forever across the face of the earth. I’m an optimist, though. Scientists are already designing plastics that will simulate nature and return their substance to the earth. \n\n\nRecycling is also gaining momentum, and plastic can be used over and over, remolded to form new food and drink containers, waterproof bags, carpets, industrial paints, flower pots, fences, benches, industrial pallets, and other products. In 1994, 565 million pounds of plastic bottles were recycled, from about 2.5 billion pounds produced. The figure for recycling could probably be bumped up to a billion pounds. And, as with most other procedures involving plastic, recycling is fairly easy. \n\n\nIndeed, the word plastic comes from the Greek word ‘plastikos’, meaning moldable. Since plastic is easy to manufacture, strong, and durable, and is a good insulator to boot, it has made inroads against such traditional materials as natural fibers, wood, metal, and rubber. In many cases, the more traditional products have moved upmarket, while plastic has cheerfully occupied many humdrum, unglamorous niches. Cheap toys, cheap fabrics, cheap furniture, casing, decorations, all are within the purview of this versatile product. Plastic has also taken on some sterner stuff, such as plumbing conduits, gears, bearings, and automobile shells. \n\n\nPlastic had an inauspicious birth. An Englishman, Alexander Parkes, looking for collodion in his medicine cabinet to staunch a wound, discovered that it had gelled into a tough rubbery substance. He was an enterprising man who saw the possibilities, if this substance could be molded. Unfortunately, molding required heat, and heating always made the substance explode. Licking his wounds, Parkes worked on, and finally produced a suitable mixture of collodion, camphor, and ethanol. Parkesine, the first synthetic plastic, was launched in 1865, and the Xylonite company was formed a year later. \n\n\nIn the USA, the Hyatt brothers were working on the same lines, and invented a similar material, which they called celluloid. The year was 1869. In 1877, the Hyatt Company and Xylonite merged into the British Xylonite Company, which exists today as BXL Plastics Ltd. \n\n\nThe man who influenced the plastics industry more than any other, however, was a Belgian, Leo Beakland, who immigrated to the USA in 1889 to better use his talents. In 1907 he invented Bakelite which would dominate plastics for the next 50 years. By 1930, gramophone records, billiard balls (originally made from elephant tusks!), telephones, camera cases, radios and chairs were all made of the new super plastic. \n\n\nHowever, Bakelite really took off after the patent expired in 1927. As the Great Depression took hold, Bakelite came to be seen as a ray of hope for several emb

Usually this clears up in a maximum of 10 days. If it's been that long, I would call your doctor to let him know what's going on, and if need be, see an otolaryngologist. You can also make your own preventive eardrops by mixing equal parts white vinegar and rubbing (isopropyl) alcohol.
