2,402	4Computers & Internet	how do i learn flash mx?		I recommend two stages. First learn the interface and get familiar with how to do basic tasks (i.e. drawing basic shapes, tweaning an object, etc). This can be learned from a good book (reference link #1).\n\nOnce you're familiar with these concepts move on to looking at other people's code. Learning by example is great. Go out and find tutorials and example that you want to duplicate and figure out how it was done. Here is a good link for tutorials (reference link #2).
2,403	5Sports	how could cal ripken jr play 163 games in1996 for the orials?		One of their games got rained out. The game on 6/17 v. Texas Rangers was rained out after 6 innings with the score tied 1-1. So they had to make up this game. However, since he had started this game (along with all 162 others), Cal Ripken Jr gets credit for playing in 163 games that year. It does NOT take into account the playoffs.

2,412	0Society & Culture	I'm not racist but why do black people say "aks" instead of "ask" ?		You realize that there is a whole section of American society that says "y'all" or "getter done" or even "howdy". Why have you not asked why SOME white people say and sound the way they do as well? Asking a well rounded question like that would take the racist edge off of your perfectly fine question.

2,423	5Sports	Which baseball team do you consider is the best and why?		The NY Yankees, because they have the most World Series titles (26), and the most WS appearances (39). Overall, they are just a great baseball team! They have had some of the best players in all of baseball! Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Mickey Mantle.....the list goes on! Also, because of the team they have NOW! Alex Rodoriguez (the AL MVP 2005!), Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Hideki Matsui, and Mariano Rivera! Also, because they are the most clean cut team! The Red Sox are too hairy, smelly, and shabby to be considered a good team! Maybe if they all got haircuts, and dropped a few pounds...Ya know? The Yankees are fit, and in shape. They are my favorite team, and they always will be!

2,425	6Business & Finance	Is Bill Gates the richest person in history after adjusting for inflation?	Who else would be on the list for consideration? \nIs inflation the only variable to take into account?\nWhat about people who lived before modern accounting and the known inflation index?	It is thought that John D. Rockefeller is the richest man that ever lived (adjusted for inflation). He paid for the creation of Rockefeller center in New York and started the University of Chicago with its initial endowment. It would be very difficult to find someone richer than him from the eras before modern accounting.
2,426	9Politics & Government	Do you believe in the death penalty?		The death penalty is the ultimate cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment. It violates the right to life.

2,428	1Science & Mathematics	at what psi does water boil?	I want to create enough pressure to cause water to boil	You can't make water boil by compressing it directly. If you compress it, but allow the hest caused by compressing to leave, then you'll get nothing. It is possible if you have an insulated system to compress it in such a way that temperature of the water rises, but at higher pressures, the temperature needed to boil water increases. If the water, once heated by comprsession, were to be rapidy brought to a lower pressure through a throttling valve, it could be vaporized.\n\nBut really, if you want water to boil, you should DECREASE the pressure. In out space, water at room temperature would instantly boil due to the low pressure involved.

2,431	6Business & Finance	If tarot cards, aura readings, and fortune tellers worked, why do people still die in car accidents and stuff?		Because most people do not pay attention to what is going on around them. They are too busy living in their minds and listening to their mental babble to be aware of what is happening in reality.\n\nI feel like the kid from the movie "Sixth Sense" except I see dumb people not dead people. Ever have a hunch? You can't explain it, you are just aware of it. Most people get hunches and ignore them because they are not rational. Life is not rational either. Each of us pretends that it is so we think we have some kind of control over what is happening.

2,433	9Politics & Government	whats make palestenian and israelian alwais fiting and why the wourld not stoping isralian people kiling?		Small minds that can't see that life is more important than a few square miles of scrubby desert. You see this throughout the middle east where sunnis fight shiites, Kurds fight Iraqis, Iraqis fight Kuwatis, Iranians fight Iraqis etc. etc. It is a tribal mentality that unfortunately values tribal rivalries more than life itself. What makes a pregnant woman strap dynamite to herself and blow up a bunch of innocent bystanders? The same pathetic mentality.
2,434	1Science & Mathematics	What is Chaos Theory? Explain in your own words?	Your own words only! I can search google if i want to. I need someone to make me understand what i Chaos Theory all about?	What exactly is chaos? The name "chaos theory" comes from the fact that the systems that the theory describes are apparently disordered, but chaos theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data. \nWhen was chaos first discovered? The first true experimenter in chaos was a meteorologist, named Edward Lorenz. In 1960, he was working on the problem of weather prediction. He had a computer set up, with a set of twelve equations to model the weather. It didn't predict the weather itself. However this computer program did theoretically predict what the weather might be. \n\nOne day in 1961, he wanted to see a particular sequence again. To save time, he started in the middle of the sequence, instead of the beginning. He entered the number off his printout and left to let it run. \n\nWhen he came back an hour later, the sequence had evolved differently. Instead of the same pattern as before, it diverged from the pattern, ending up wildly different from the original. (See figure 1.) Eventually he figured out what happened. The computer stored the numbers to six decimal places in its memory. To save paper, he only had it print out three decimal places. In the original sequence, the number was .506127, and he had only typed the first three digits, .506. ...(c this site)

2,438	4Computers & Internet	is qa.yahoo.com going to become the new wikipedia?	should it be called Yahoopedia? :-)	Doubtful, since Wikipedia is the source for many of the answers here. This format doesn't allow for the same degree of detail and digression as Wikipedia. \n\nHopefully it will be a complement to Wikipedia, allowing questioners to get to the heart of the information they're seeking quickly.
2,439	0Society & Culture	Where does the phrase "The Whole 9 Yards come from">?		I answered this question a few days back with this information:\n\n This phrase is of unknown origin and is the subject of some debate. At issue is to what does nine yards refer. The meaning is clearly the entirety or everything, but nine yards is not a significant measure of anything. All we know about its origin is that the phrase cannot be traced any earlier than the mid-1960s and that it is American in origin.\n\nPerhaps the most common assumption is that it is from American football, but the canonical distance in that game is ten, not nine, yards. Also common are explanations based on length of cloth, but there is no standard length for a bolt of cloth (which measure anywhere from twenty to twenty-five yards), and nine yards is not a significant measure for any type of garment (a man's suit uses about seven yards of a thirty-inch bolt, double folded; sarongs, saris, kilts, kimonos, bridal veils and any number of other garments have been suggested, none with any accompanying evidence).\n\nThe explanation that is currently circulating around the internet most frequently is that nine yards was the length of a belt of machine gun ammunition carried by a WWII fighter plane. To "give it the whole nine yards" was to expend all of one's ammo. This explanation is almost certainly false. For one thing, the type of fighter varies with the teller, sometimes Spitfires in the Battle of Britain, sometimes varying American fighters in the South Pacific. Another reason to doubt it is that ammunition is either counted in rounds or by weight. It is never measured in length of a belt. Chapman points to an origin in the Army and Air Force, which fits in with the post-WWII-era origin, but is otherwise unexplained.

2,441	8Family & Relationships	What are the stages to a long distance relationship?	I just figured there were stages to every relationship and i was curious which one me and my boyfriend were on, and when we should move to the next.	There are no such thing as stages that you should follow or you think you might be in but there are studies saying this and saying that... \n\nWhen you try to evaluate or compare your relationship to a stage or rule book then you will eventually look at your relationship as a mechanical or battery operated relationship... The one that is run by the book... And believe me its not fun and it wont last...
2,442	5Sports	Do you think to the Pats will make it to the superbowl and win?		Nope. The Pats are pretty good, but they still have way to many defensive holes.

2,443	3Education & Reference	Is it possible to explain logic to someone?

2,444	3Education & Reference	Why is the prevalence of autism increasing so fast and why are there so many hucksters preying on parents?		Very logical answers to a very good question. After attending several seminars and spending time with Autistic families I've come to believe there are definately genetic issues. I do believe in some cases the gene is dormant until exposed to a enviromental factor. Some studies have indicated regions where enviromental pollutants are more severe, there are far more cases of autism in those particular areas. But again, I agree with the above answers.. we are far more educated about autism so it may be a case of more accurated dx's are being made... ie, rather than dx's a child with retardation, the persons behaviors observed more closely and dx'd as autistim....

When you are composing your email, select attach file, press the browse button, go to the folder where you saved your scanned image, and select attach (or ok). I sugest you to reduce the image size to not make your email giantic and to not use to much inbox space\n\nget a program like irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com/), It allows you change your image, including rotate and resizing it.\n\nProgramming is the science (or art) to give a sequence os statements to be executed by and computer and design refers about the ways you can design your programming project.

2,451	3Education & Reference	can anyone give me a brief biography of any god or goddess?		In Greek mythology, Cassandra ("she who entangles men") (also known as Alexandra) was a daughter of King Priam of Troy and his queen Hecuba, who captured the eye of Apollo and so was given the ability to see the future. However, when she did not return his love, he placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions. Thus Cassandra foresees the destruction of Troy (she warns the Trojans about the Trojan Horse, the death of Agamemnon, and her own demise), but is unable to do anything about them. Coroebus and Othronus came to the aid of Troy out of love for Cassandra.After the Trojan War, Cassandra is taken as a concubine and slave girl by King Agamemnon of Mycenae after being raped by Ajax. Unbeknownst to Agamemnon, while he was away at war, his wife, Clytemnestra, had begun an affair with Aegisthus. Upon Agamemnon and Cassandra's arrival in Mycenae, Clytemnestra asked her husband to walk across a purple carpet; he initially refused then gave in and entered, not believing Cassandra's warnings. Clytemnestra and Aegisthus then murdered Agamemnon, and then Cassandra. Some information says that Cassandra and Agamemnon have twin boys Teledamus and Pelops, who are killed by Aegisthus.

If I get her an iPod does anyone have any suggestions what to do -- or NOT to do? There are so many iPods I don't know where to begin. Also, what accessories do you need to go with the iPod? We have a basic computer. Are there any other cool electronic gifts for 15 year old girls? Can't afford the ongoing expensive of a cellphone so a picturecamera is probably out of the question, but maybe a digital camera? All advice welcomed. T minus 2 and counting....	An ipod is a great gift.. I love mine and I never really go anywhere without it..you will need to download itunes on your computer so she can get music for it. and since ipods have so many accessories they are always nice too.. the cases help protect the body and screen which is good and the ipod bose stereo docks are also very nice but are pretty costly. you could also pick her up an itunes giftcard(sold wherever ipods are sold) so she can get new music right away. \nI got my sister the new scene it dvd trivia game and its a lot of fun we have a few versions already and my whole family loves it.. also if she has a favorite tv show.. dvd box sets make great gifts.\nand digital cameras are definatley an awesome gift. you can even find them now on sale with included printer docks so you can just print the photos from your home at your own convenience.

2,458	4Computers & Internet	Should I buy an AMD 3700+ or wait till the price of dual core processors goes down?		The question is do you want to plan for the future now by getting a dual core processor. Currently not many applications support dual core processors (save for Windows and some versions of Linux) so they would only be utilizing one core, games and Office, for example. By late next year there should be plenty of applications that can use dual core processors and the prices will likely drop as well. For now, I think you are fine with the AMD 3700+. Next year, if you wanted you could most likely pop a dual core chip into your motherboard, just make sure the BIOS supports it. If you want to check out a dual core system, this one is one of my favorites http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1250N-/sem/rpsm/oid/134690/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do for the price it's an excellent value, that is, if you are looking at a whole system and not just a processor upgrade.
2,459	8Family & Relationships	My close friend hates my BF, and she told me that I was leaving her alone?	Some said that she was just jealous, but some said it was my fault. I told her and my group that both of them (GFs and BF)are important to me in different ways, but they didnt stop comparing. She made me choose HER or HIM, and now it is me that is left alone by her. What can I do?	Hey, I think I can appreciate your answer but try following what I have been doing and I guess most of the people are happy with me.\n1. Remember you can not make every one happy all the times, Moral: Make some people happy some times, just prioritize your selves and your time.\n2. Put all focus to the people with whom you are: dont think about ur BF when u r with friend and vice versa.

However, to answer your question bodybuilding is on the same level of any other material possession used to gain status over others; to make one feel achievement when compaired to their peers. It's just like the guy who buys a vet or wears DNKY. You get noticed and you enjoy the feelings that accompany it. There is also the feeling of being HIGH from releasing endorphins, which can be addicting.

2,472	1Science & Mathematics	What is the difference between sleet and hail?		Sleet is formed by snow (single ice crystals) being formed in cold clouds and then falling through warmer air so that they begin to partially melt, falling as wet snow - sleet.\n\nHailstones form by water droplets freezing very quickly in a cloud so that they form a small blob or nucleus rather than the larger crystal formed by a slow freezing snow flake crystal. The nucleus continues to fall through the cloud until it meets a strong upcurrent of warmer damper air coming up from the ground. This blows the ice droplet up into the colder part of the cloud. the warm air surrounding the nucleus cools and the water in it condenses out and freezes onto the surface of the existing ice droplet making it larger and heavier. This is cycle isrepeated until the updraught is not strong enough to keep the hailstone airborne and it (and the millions of others with it) drop to the ground.\n\nThe stronger the updraught the larger the final hailstone.\n\nIf you collect some hailstones after they have dropped and use a sharp knife to cleanly cut one in half, you might be able to see the individuals layers of ice within the hailstone through a magnifying glass or microscope.\n\nHailstones can become very very big - have alook at the guiness book of records - but I believe that you Americans hold the record for a hailstone that fell in Kansas, USA, and was measured at 43.18cm (17 in) long - unfortunately no idea of the weight.

2,495	5Sports	Will the Indian Cricket Team Win the 2007 World Cup in West Indies ?	http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket	Hmmm..... It's a tricky one. So, here is a tricky answer from my side.\n\nOn their current form India looks capable of winning the WC 2007, Infactany team can win it. If we look at the ICC ODI Ranking Table then we would see that Australia is 1st and way ahead. But competition is strict from 2nd to 7th as South Africa is marginally ahead of Pakistan who is followed by India, England, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand. This shows how close these teams are when it comes to their standard of play and their consistency. It also means that from 2nd to 7th Position any team can beat its opponent (Even Australia, As New Zealand has just proved it by beating Australia in a record chase). So I think any of the Top Seven teams can won the World Cup on its day. Now a days ODI cricket has become so unpredictable that any thing can happen. \n\nComing back to the question, I would say that Aussies are favorites to defend their title but a bad day can stop their march towards a dream hat trick. Apart from Australia, every other team (i.e.; England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa) have equal chance to win the WC 2007. Any of the above mentioned team can make Aussies pay for their mistakes on the certain day. So, I would say that, India has equal chance of winning the World Cup 2007 as any other Top 7 team, with Aussies being the Favorites.

at what psi does water boil?

I want to create enough pressure to cause water to boil

You can't make water boil by compressing it directly. If you compress it, but allow the hest caused by compressing to leave, then you'll get nothing. It is possible if you have an insulated system to compress it in such a way that temperature of the water rises, but at higher pressures, the temperature needed to boil water increases. If the water, once heated by comprsession, were to be rapidy brought to a lower pressure through a throttling valve, it could be vaporized.\n\nBut really, if you want water to boil, you should *DECREASE* the pressure. In out space, water at room temperature would instantly boil due to the low pressure involved.

What is Chaos Theory? Explain in your own words?

Your own words only! I can search google if i want to. I need someone to make me understand what i Chaos Theory all about?

What exactly is chaos? The name "chaos theory" comes from the fact that the systems that the theory describes are apparently disordered, but chaos theory is really about finding the underlying order in apparently random data. \nWhen was chaos first discovered? The first true experimenter in chaos was a meteorologist, named Edward Lorenz. In 1960, he was working on the problem of weather prediction. He had a computer set up, with a set of twelve equations to model the weather. It didn't predict the weather itself. However this computer program did theoretically predict what the weather might be. \n\nOne day in 1961, he wanted to see a particular sequence again. To save time, he started in the middle of the sequence, instead of the beginning. He entered the number off his printout and left to let it run. \n\nWhen he came back an hour later, the sequence had evolved differently. Instead of the same pattern as before, it diverged from the pattern, ending up wildly different from the original. (See figure 1.) Eventually he figured out what happened. The computer stored the numbers to six decimal places in its memory. To save paper, he only had it print out three decimal places. In the original sequence, the number was .506127, and he had only typed the first three digits, .506. ...(c this site)

Where does the phrase "The Whole 9 Yards come from">?

I answered this question a few days back with this information:\n\n This phrase is of unknown origin and is the subject of some debate. At issue is to what does nine yards refer. The meaning is clearly the entirety or everything, but nine yards is not a significant measure of anything. All we know about its origin is that the phrase cannot be traced any earlier than the mid-1960s and that it is American in origin.\n\nPerhaps the most common assumption is that it is from American football, but the canonical distance in that game is ten, not nine, yards. Also common are explanations based on length of cloth, but there is no standard length for a bolt of cloth (which measure anywhere from twenty to twenty-five yards), and nine yards is not a significant measure for any type of garment (a man's suit uses about seven yards of a thirty-inch bolt, double folded; sarongs, saris, kilts, kimonos, bridal veils and any number of other garments have been suggested, none with any accompanying evidence).\n\nThe explanation that is currently circulating around the internet most frequently is that nine yards was the length of a belt of machine gun ammunition carried by a WWII fighter plane. To "give it the whole nine yards" was to expend all of one's ammo. This explanation is almost certainly false. For one thing, the type of fighter varies with the teller, sometimes Spitfires in the Battle of Britain, sometimes varying American fighters in the South Pacific. Another reason to doubt it is that ammunition is either counted in rounds or by weight. It is never measured in length of a belt. Chapman points to an origin in the Army and Air Force, which fits in with the post-WWII-era origin, but is otherwise unexplained.

There are no such thing as stages that you should follow or you think you might be in but there are studies saying this and saying that... \n\nWhen you try to evaluate or compare your relationship to a stage or rule book then you will eventually look at your relationship as a mechanical or battery operated relationship...

Why is the prevalence of autism increasing so fast and why are there so many hucksters preying on parents?

Very logical answers to a very good question. After attending several seminars and spending time with Autistic families I've come to believe there are definately genetic issues. I do believe in some cases the gene is dormant until exposed to a enviromental factor. Some studies have indicated regions where enviromental pollutants are more severe, there are far more cases of autism in those particular areas. But again, I agree with the above answers.. we are far more educated about autism so it may be a case of more accurated dx's are being made... ie, rather than dx's a child with retardation, the persons behaviors observed more closely and dx'd as autistim....

can anyone give me a brief biography of any god or goddess?

In Greek mythology, Cassandra ("she who entangles men") (also known as Alexandra) was a daughter of King Priam of Troy and his queen Hecuba, who captured the eye of Apollo and so was given the ability to see the future. However, when she did not return his love, he placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions. Thus Cassandra foresees the destruction of Troy (she warns the Trojans about the Trojan Horse, the death of Agamemnon, and her own demise), but is unable to do anything about them. Coroebus and Othronus came to the aid of Troy out of love for Cassandra.After the Trojan War, Cassandra is taken as a concubine and slave girl by King Agamemnon of Mycenae after being raped by Ajax. Unbeknownst to Agamemnon, while he was away at war, his wife, Clytemnestra, had begun an affair with Aegisthus. Upon Agamemnon and Cassandra's arrival in Mycenae, Clytemnestra asked her husband to walk across a purple carpet; he initially refused then gave in and entered, not believing Cassandra's warnings. Clytemnestra and Aegisthus then murdered Agamemnon, and then Cassandra. Some information says that Cassandra and Agamemnon have twin boys Teledamus and Pelops, who are killed by Aegisthus.

Urgent problem: I have 1 1/2 days to pick up gifts for my beloved just-turned-15 daughter. If I get her an iPod does anyone have any suggestions what to do -- or NOT to do? There are so many iPods I don't know where to begin. Also, what accessories do you need to go with the iPod? We have a basic computer. Are there any other cool electronic gifts for 15 year old girls? Can't afford the ongoing expensive of a cellphone so a picturecamera is probably out of the question, but maybe a digital camera? All advice welcomed. T minus 2 and counting....

An ipod is a great gift.. I love mine and I never really go anywhere without it..you will need to download itunes on your computer so she can get music for it. and since ipods have so many accessories they are always nice too.. the cases help protect the body and screen which is good and the ipod bose stereo docks are also very nice but are pretty costly. you could also pick her up an itunes giftcard(sold wherever ipods are sold) so she can get new music right away. \nI got my sister the new scene it dvd trivia game and its a lot of fun we have a few versions already and my whole family loves it.. also if she has a favorite tv show.. dvd box sets make great gifts.\nand digital cameras are definatley an awesome gift. you can even find them now on sale with included printer docks so you can just print the photos from your home at your own convenience.

Should I buy an AMD 3700+ or wait till the price of dual core processors goes down?

The question is do you want to plan for the future now by getting a dual core processor. Currently not many applications support dual core processors (save for Windows and some versions of Linux) so they would only be utilizing one core, games and Office, for example. By late next year there should be plenty of applications that can use dual core processors and the prices will likely drop as well. For now, I think you are fine with the AMD 3700+. Next year, if you wanted you could most likely pop a dual core chip into your motherboard, just make sure the BIOS supports it. If you want to check out a dual core system, this one is one of my favorites http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1250N-/sem/rpsm/oid/134690/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do for the price it's an excellent value, that is, if you are looking at a whole system and not just a processor upgrade.

What is the difference between sleet and hail?

Sleet is formed by snow (single ice crystals) being formed in cold clouds and then falling through warmer air so that they begin to partially melt, falling as wet snow - sleet.\n\nHailstones form by water droplets freezing very quickly in a cloud so that they form a small blob or nucleus rather than the larger crystal formed by a slow freezing snow flake crystal. The nucleus continues to fall through the cloud until it meets a strong upcurrent of warmer damper air coming up from the ground. This blows the ice droplet up into the colder part of the cloud. the warm air surrounding the nucleus cools and the water in it condenses out and freezes onto the surface of the existing ice droplet making it larger and heavier. This is cycle isrepeated until the updraught is not strong enough to keep the hailstone airborne and it (and the millions of others with it) drop to the ground.\n\nThe stronger the updraught the larger the final hailstone.\n\nIf you collect some hailstones after they have dropped and use a sharp knife to cleanly cut one in half, you might be able to see the individuals layers of ice within the hailstone through a magnifying glass or microscope.\n\nHailstones can become very very big - have alook at the guiness book of records - but I believe that you Americans hold the record for a hailstone that fell in Kansas, USA, and was measured at 43.18cm (17 in) long - unfortunately no idea of the weight.

Will the Indian Cricket Team Win the 2007 World Cup in West Indies ?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket

Hmmm..... It's a tricky one. So, here is a tricky answer from my side.\n\nOn their current form India looks capable of winning the WC 2007, Infactany team can win it. If we look at the ICC ODI Ranking Table then we would see that Australia is 1st and way ahead. But competition is strict from 2nd to 7th as South Africa is marginally ahead of Pakistan who is followed by India, England, Sri Lanka, and New Zealand. This shows how close these teams are when it comes to their standard of play and their consistency. It also means that from 2nd to 7th Position any team can beat its opponent (Even Australia, As New Zealand has just proved it by beating Australia in a record chase). So I think any of the Top Seven teams can won the World Cup on its day. Now a days ODI cricket has become so unpredictable that any thing can happen. \n\nComing back to the question, I would say that Aussies are favorites to defend their title but a bad day can stop their march towards a dream hat trick. Apart from Australia, every other team (i.e.; England, India, New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, South Africa) have equal chance to win the WC 2007. Any of the above mentioned team can make Aussies pay for their mistakes on the certain day. So, I would say that, India has equal chance of winning the World Cup 2007 as any other Top 7 team, with Aussies being the Favorites.

You can also pour foam peanuts (from the post office or a packing store) in the box after you put all the dishes in before you seal the box. Don't forget to mark it FRAGILE!
