8,500	4Computers & Internet	What is a good book to learn Windows programming?	I know object oriented programming in c++ very well.\nI know nothing about windows programming. \n\nI want to make an audio processing application. Any suggestions on reading material?

8,501	6Business & Finance	what is living with a 45000 dollar salary like in today's world? is it a good start point?		45K is a good starting salary for many occupations. The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise". Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country. I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills. On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year. Most colleges track this information. It helps employers and employees!

Each situation is different, but I would recommend moving on and just keep in touch.

8,503	9Politics & Government	Why do we have a governor that is not born a U.S citizen making decision on why another u.s. citiizen life.?	we as a country is the lauging stck of the world. A president that lie by all means to go to war for personal family problems.	The Governor was elected through due process in accordance with the laws of the state. \n\nThe citizen was convicted through the legal system.\n\nThe Governor did not make the decision to convict the citizen, a jury did. There were many unsuccessful appeals that followed the original decision. The Governor is basically the 'last' appeal in a very lengthy process.\n\nThe Governor did not feel he could intervene, for the reasons he stated in his decision. The Governor is ultimately accountable to the people for his decisions.\n\nFor all of the faults of the system, it is at least open to scrutiny and challenge. Not many in the world laugh at that.

8,505	4Computers & Internet	when i hook up my Epson printer to the computer to install it, i can't. the pc detects it but the cd doesn't		You can try skipping the CD install and downloading the drivers directly from Epson. Once you have done that you can use the "Add Hardward" wizard to install it. To do this go to Start > Control Panel > Add Hardware and click next, do not use the CD. Follow the instructions on the screen for installing the driver from a specific location and Windows should install the drivers.\n\nSometimes you can just double click on the driver to install them but that does not always work. Also, when you are installing it make sure the USB cable is connected and that the printer is turned on.\n\nHope that helped.

8,523	9Politics & Government	Why educated people keep away from Indian Politics? Are they afraid of present day politicians?	In recent elections, I find educated people do not participate or they do not exercise their franchise which is a legitimate duty of a citizen. Due to recent behaviour of politicians irrespective of party, most of the educated do not come forward even to attend meetings connected with elections. What is the real reason?	As I understand it, one of the great strengths of a Democracy is not so much the right to vote someone into office but the right to vote them out if you are unhappy with their performance. Many elections are foregone conclusions and people stay away from the poles. My parents elected a state representative with only their own two votes when it was discovered that the incumbent had moved and was no longer qualified to run. They actually favored the imcumbent but knew he only planned to run one more time then retire. They just wanterd to get the new man's name on the ballot results for next time - but got him elected. So every vote does count.

8,528	0Society & Culture	Why this Santa Claus character?	I know the history of 'jolly old St. Nick', what I want to know is why a struggling, single-parent will work app. 300 days a year, buy a child a gift for Christmas day and tell him Santa brought it and then teach the child not to lie, when this lie is relived every year.	This is a very good question. As we all know that the true meaning of Christmas is gone and now turned into a commercial holiday. As for Santa Claus, telling a child about his or her presents came from the guy in the red suit, its just a tradition that's been passed on for many generations. In a way it is lying but as the child grows older and realized that there is really no Santa Claus then it gives the child the sense of what is real and what is not. As for the lying parents, I'm sure that when they were a kid, they've been lied to by their own parents so like I said it is then passed on, and will continue for many many years.

8,563	4Computers & Internet	displaying on multi screen from one computer not showing same infor on all screen?	useing one system to three monitors but displaying different informetion on all monitors	Windows XP has this built in. You need to install additional graphics cards. Usually those will need to be PCI as most computers only have 1 AGP or PCIx port. Or use a higher end video card with multiple ports. Most mid-range ($100 and up) video cards and higher have 2 ports on them, some have more. For instance ATI has something called "Hydravision", But I recommend letting Windows do all the work for you. I think ATI gave up on the extra Hydravision stuff now that I think about it.\n\nAnyway, when you have mulitple video cards installed, right click on the desktop and choose "Properties" and then click on the "settings" tab. You'll see all available monitors shown graphically there. You can click on the monitors and "enable" them to get the screen to show up there. All monitors through Windows are autonomous and can display different data from the master (1) monitor.

8,586	6Business & Finance	What is the difference between an exempt and non exempt salary employee?		The difference between exempt and nonexempt employees is who gets paid overtime and who doesn't. Not knowing the difference between these categories could cost you a lot of money. Employees who qualify as "exempt" are exempt from overtime regulations (and minimum wage laws), whereas "nonexempt" employees must be paid for every hour of overtime they work. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the laws of the 50 states regulate what constitutes "overtime." \n\nMany employers incorrectly believe that all salaried employees are exempt or that by paying an employee a salary, they automatically become exempt. However, just as the labels "employee" and "independent contractor" don't determine a worker's actual status in the eyes of the IRS, the same is true for exempt and nonexempt employees in the eyes of the federal and state labor departments. Exempt and nonexempt status has little to do with job titles and whether an employee is salaried or receives an hourly wage (although in practice, hourly workers are never "exempt"). The legal definition of "exempt" and "nonexempt" has much more to do with an employee's level of responsibility or his or her status as a professional.\n\nThe U.S. Department of Labor specifically designates certain classes of workers as exempt, including executives, administrative personnel, outside salespeople, highly skilled computer-related employees and licensed professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers and certified public accountants, among others. In addition, managers who hire and fire employees and who spend less than half their time performing the same duties as their employees are typically also exempt employees. In general, the more responsibility and independence or discretion an employee has, the more likely the employee is to be considered exempt.

what is living with a 45000 dollar salary like in today's world? is it a good start point?

45K is a good starting salary for many occupations. The cost of living for your area is really a factor, as well as the skills that you have.\n\nA better question might be "What is the average starting salary in my geographic area, in my field of expertise". Not knowing your geographic area, or expertise, all we can comment on is the number.\n\nThe number 45K is high for a lot of college graduates across the country. I know of many who start in the 20's, who don't have good grades or applicable skills. On the other hand, if you are graduating from Medical School, and setting up practice in California, then perhaps you should be looking for 100K+!\n\nCheck with your school, to see what the average starting salaries were last year. Most colleges track this information. It helps employers and employees!

The Governor was elected through due process in accordance with the laws of the state. \n\nThe citizen was convicted through the legal system.\n\nThe Governor did not make the decision to convict the citizen, a jury did. There were many unsuccessful appeals that followed the original decision. The Governor is basically the 'last' appeal in a very lengthy process.\n\nThe Governor did not feel he could intervene, for the reasons he stated in his decision. The Governor is ultimately accountable to the people for his decisions.\n\nFor all of the faults of the system, it is at least open to scrutiny and challenge. Not many in the world laugh at that.

You can try skipping the CD install and downloading the drivers directly from Epson. Once you have done that you can use the "Add Hardward" wizard to install it. To do this go to Start > Control Panel > Add Hardware and click next, do not use the CD. Follow the instructions on the screen for installing the driver from a specific location and Windows should install the drivers.\n\nSometimes you can just double click on the driver to install them but that does not always work. Also, when you are installing it make sure the USB cable is connected and that the printer is turned on.\n\nHope that helped.

Why educated people keep away from Indian Politics? Are they afraid of present day politicians?

In recent elections, I find educated people do not participate or they do not exercise their franchise which is a legitimate duty of a citizen. Due to recent behaviour of politicians irrespective of party, most of the educated do not come forward even to attend meetings connected with elections. What is the real reason?

As I understand it, one of the great strengths of a Democracy is not so much the right to vote someone into office but the right to vote them out if you are unhappy with their performance. Many elections are foregone conclusions and people stay away from the poles. My parents elected a state representative with only their own two votes when it was discovered that the incumbent had moved and was no longer qualified to run. They actually favored the imcumbent but knew he only planned to run one more time then retire. They just wanterd to get the new man's name on the ballot results for next time - but got him elected. So every vote does count.

Why this Santa Claus character?

I know the history of 'jolly old St. Nick', what I want to know is why a struggling, single-parent will work app. 300 days a year, buy a child a gift for Christmas day and tell him Santa brought it and then teach the child not to lie, when this lie is relived every year.

This is a very good question. As we all know that the true meaning of Christmas is gone and now turned into a commercial holiday. As for Santa Claus, telling a child about his or her presents came from the guy in the red suit, its just a tradition that's been passed on for many generations. In a way it is lying but as the child grows older and realized that there is really no Santa Claus then it gives the child the sense of what is real and what is not. As for the lying parents, I'm sure that when they were a kid, they've been lied to by their own parents so like I said it is then passed on, and will continue for many many years.

I`m interested in a degree in Marketing. Since I already have a engeneering degree from Russia I can go straigh for master`s in MBA, but in this case I might lose eligibility for grants, that I can get by applying for bachelor`s. Any options for me in this case?

Use the bachelor's degree you have to find a job that has tuition-reimbursal; they should pay at least part of any classes that are relevant to your job. Also, if you have a really strong application, try to get a job as a Graduate Assistant -- some universities cover tution if you are a GA.

Do identical twins have the same DNA signature?

explain

Identical twins develop when a single fertilized egg splits in two, leading to two embryos. Because they both came from the combination of the same egg and sperm, they have identical DNA, barring the generally undetectable micromutations that begin as soon as cells start dividing. To a standard DNA analysis, they would be indistinguishable. Yet the parents of twins can usually tell them apart by subtle visual cues, and, while their fingerprints are generally similar, they are not identical.

What exercises can I do while I am recuperating from ankle surgery?

I mean "whole-body" exercises. I am not allowed to put any weight on the ankle, and it must be kept elevated (chest-level) as much as possible, which means I have to lie around a lot. Once a day I am allowed to remove my cast and rotate the ankle for several minutes.

Talk to your doctor about what exercises you can do. You don't want to injure your ankle or disrupt the healing.

displaying on multi screen from one computer not showing same infor on all screen?

useing one system to three monitors but displaying different informetion on all monitors

Windows XP has this built in. You need to install additional graphics cards. Usually those will need to be PCI as most computers only have 1 AGP or PCIx port. Or use a higher end video card with multiple ports. Most mid-range ($100 and up) video cards and higher have 2 ports on them, some have more. For instance ATI has something called "Hydravision", But I recommend letting Windows do all the work for you. I think ATI gave up on the extra Hydravision stuff now that I think about it.\n\nAnyway, when you have mulitple video cards installed, right click on the desktop and choose "Properties" and then click on the "settings" tab. You'll see all available monitors shown graphically there. You can click on the monitors and "enable" them to get the screen to show up there. All monitors through Windows are autonomous and can display different data from the master (1) monitor.

Can real diamond be shattered with a hammer?

how do you think they cut diamonds?\n\nthey're CLEAVED. If you hit a diamond at a certain angle it will cleave off and break. If you hit it with enough force, yes it will shatter.\n\nDiamonds are the hardest substance on earth. Hardness and resistance to compressive forces are two totally different types of things. \n\nI can smash both a diamond and a rubber ball with a very high force. If the rubber ball does not shatter and the diamond does, does that mean it's stronger then the diamond? No. It just means that it can wihtstand compressive forces better.

Then, if clear, you can decide if you would like to file for a Federal or a State trademark. \n\nResearch is needed to make sure your trade name is legally available, before opening, before expansion, before incorporation or before designing your logo. Similarities in sound, appearance and meaning affect you too!\n\nThere are 16+ million trade names in use in the United States. Similar names matter, if close in sound, appearance or meaning.

How can I be less shy about singing?

I sing a lot when I'm by myself even though I'm a pretty bad singer. However, when anybody is with me (Even my parents) I find it really scary to sing in front of them. The reason I want help is because my friends and I are starting a band.

you feel that way maybe because you are not completly confident on how good you are a singing. evaluate yourself, if you think you sing pretty good, you dont have to be shy at all, so if everybody tells you that you sing very good, that's all you need to throw that shyness away and forget about it.

What is the difference between an exempt and non exempt salary employee?

The difference between exempt and nonexempt employees is who gets paid overtime and who doesn't. Not knowing the difference between these categories could cost you a lot of money. Employees who qualify as "exempt" are exempt from overtime regulations (and minimum wage laws), whereas "nonexempt" employees must be paid for every hour of overtime they work. The federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the laws of the 50 states regulate what constitutes "overtime." \n\nMany employers incorrectly believe that all salaried employees are exempt or that by paying an employee a salary, they automatically become exempt. However, just as the labels "employee" and "independent contractor" don't determine a worker's actual status in the eyes of the IRS, the same is true for exempt and nonexempt employees in the eyes of the federal and state labor departments. Exempt and nonexempt status has little to do with job titles and whether an employee is salaried or receives an hourly wage (although in practice, hourly workers are never "exempt"). The legal definition of "exempt" and "nonexempt" has much more to do with an employee's level of responsibility or his or her status as a professional.\n\nThe U.S. Department of Labor specifically designates certain classes of workers as exempt, including executives, administrative personnel, outside salespeople, highly skilled computer-related employees and licensed professionals, such as doctors, lawyers, architects, engineers and certified public accountants, among others. In addition, managers who hire and fire employees and who spend less than half their time performing the same duties as their employees are typically also exempt employees. In general, the more responsibility and independence or discretion an employee has, the more likely the employee is to be considered exempt.

How did map makers draw the states of America in the 1800s when there wasn't planes or satelites in the sky?

Not just America, but in other countries there are maps dating back centuries. How could the map makers know how the shape of the United States was in 1808? Or the shape of individual states like Tennessee or Texas in 1850?

map makers esentiallt did what is known as graphing. what they did is basically take a piece of graphing pad marking out latitudes and longatudes respectively. they then took measurements as to where they were with a device known as a sextant which they use to determine thire position on the planet LAT/LONG by using the stars as they traveled they marked on the grid paper what thier lat/long was then simply connected the dots this technique can be used to mark coastlines or if inland plot your course (eg make a line on the map known to be dry land) this course can then be translated to be the border between utah and montana for example the lines for borders between states were mostly arbatrary some were set forth by the gov't where the lines were to be drawn others may have been a natural boundary such as a river or other waterway.\n\ni hope that is what you were looking for
