Do the Canucks need to get a goaltender?
|
Do they need a new goalie or can they ride it out with Alex Auld?
|
Auld's been so strong all season that I think it's wise for Vancouver to let this young goalie see lots of action and face the season. He's performed nicely in his role so far, and he should mature quickly if he becomes the #1 goalie this season.

what the different between Linux and Microsoft?
|
Wow, this could potentially be a very, very long answer. However, I'll try to boil it down to its most basic element:\n\nMicrosoft is a for profit company. It makes and sells software, such as Windows and Office, to make money. You usually buy their software in a store or indirectly when you purchase a new computer.\n\nLinux is not a company. Linux is the name of the operating system (comparable to Microsoft's Windows). No one company makes Linux. The core of the Linux operating system is called the "kernel" (Microsoft has one too) and it is developed and maintained by volunteers. That's right, volunteers that aren't paid for their work spend time creating Linux. The companies you may have heard in the context of Linux like RedHat and Suse make money by taking the kernel that is freely available and packaging it in a manner that makes it easy to use and install - while also offering support if you need help. These companies are less software makers like Microsoft and more like software support and packaging companies. However, this is a very basic example - most of the Linux companies also have their development on top of the base operating system that provides a lot of value to the distribution.\n\nLinux also has some distributions (what the different versions of Linux are called) that are maintained solely by volunteers and are not sold but given away. Debian is a great Linux distribution that does this as are Ubuntu, Slackware, Gentoo etc... So, these are not Linux companies, but Linux communties as they do not exist to make money.\n\nIn summary, Linux is a type of operating system developed by a volunteer community while Microsoft is its own company that makes and sells software including the Windows Operating system and the Office productivity suite.

Why do Muslims believe Mohammed is the messiah when he showed no proof by miracles?
|
And writting a book is not a miracle, since there are many today that also write books.
|
Why do you need proof to have faith? The definition of faith is believing without seeing. Jesus makes reference to this many times in the Bible. He didn't want to perform miracles because he didn't want to have to prove who he was. He just wanted people to believe. I mean, isn't it kind of an insult to someone when you ask for proof? It means you don't trust that person and you can't have a relationship without trust. If you don't trust that he is the Messiah, you can't have a relationship with him.

You've heard right. Indians and Romanians are the best computer programmers and analysts in the world. In fact, most of the Microsoft's foreign employees are Indian and Romanian. If you're from Europe, you can come to Romania to study (it's much closer). My recommendation is the Computer Science Faculty from the "Al.I. Cuza" University Iasi. (http://www.infoiasi.ro) It's the best in the country.\nAnd yes, Maths is very important. And it's quite easy once you've understood it.

Area 51 is the place where the new projects of planes are developed and tested.That is the explanation for the many sitings in that area.There are older cases in wich the so called "invisible planes" were tested and the were reported by public as UFO's.We cannot say precisely if there are aliens held or not...only your brain can give an answer to that!U have to analise for yourself and put the facts in balance.Why do u think that there are aliens and the havent shown themselfs to all the people everywhere?What could be their reasons?It could be more simple just to hover their crafts over cities from time tot time and after a while to come down among us...that if they would have any interest in comunicating with us.All i can think is that ufo's are (or at least most of them) just experimental or secret flying machines from different goverments.That is my opinion evem if i have experienced a couple of years ago some strange and until now unexplained fenomenons.Please excuse my mistakes in writing...it is just that english is not my native language(Romanian is...).

I currently have a full-time job, however the company that I'm working for is being bought out by a massive company. Therefore, I may not have a job.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE HIRE PURCHASE AND LEASING?
|
Hire purchase (HP) is the legal term for a conditional sale contract developed in the UK, and now found in India, Australia, New Zealand, and other states which have adopted the English law concept. In cases where a buyer cannot afford to pay the asked price as a lump sum but can afford to pay a percentage as a deposit, the contract allows the buyer to hire the goods for a monthly rent. When a sum equal to the original full price plus interest has been paid in equal installments.\n\n\n\nA lease or tenancy is an interest in personal property or real property given by a lessor to another person (usually called the lessee or tenant) for a fixed period of time, and the lessee obtains exclusive possession of the property in return for paying the lessor a fixed or determinable consideration.\n\nIn law, there are two types of property:\n\nReal property is land or any permanent feature or structure above or below the surface. Ownership of land is an aspect of the system of real property or realty in common law systems (immovables in civil law systems and Conflict of Laws). \nAll other property is considered personal property or personalty in common law systems (movables in civil law and Conflict of Laws), and this property is either tangible or intangible, i.e. it is either physical property that can be touched like a computer, or it is an enforceable right like a patent or other form of intellectual property. \nThere are three separate levels of rights or interests affecting both forms of property. In descending order of importance they are:\n\nownership, \npossession or \ncontrol and use. \nThe legal documents that transfer these rights are respectively: conveyance/transfer, lease/tenancy, and bailment/pledge for tangible personalty, assignments and licenses for intangibles.

What or who is a Gant?
|
In Essex, United Kingdom there is a town called Gants Hill. It is on the Central Line of the London Underground system. Most towns that have multiple words in their name and when the 1st word ends in an S, are normally named after a "thing".\n\nIn this instance the thing is a Gant and after living for 33 years in this area and not having found the answer please help me :)
|
There are two possible explanations for the origin of the name Gants Hill. It could derive from the le Gant family. Gantesgrave appears as early as 1291. In 1321 Ralph le Gant was steward of Barking Abbey, and Richard and Gilbert le Gant were stewards in 1456. There are also theories that the name derives from Gnats Cross*. The area was originally a swamp and was the habitat of swarms of flying insects otherwise known as gnats. Wealthy local landowner Lord Parham had the area drained in 1803 and the village that sprung up in this area became known as Gnat's Cross. This changed to Hill due to cases of religious discrimination. Gnat's probably became Gants due to a printing error in the reproduction of local maps.

Where, if no universe existed did the dense ball of hydrogen reside in before the big bang?
|
"Where?" requires the existance of space. There was no space before the Big Bang. We cannot even talk about "before", since there was no time, either. It's counterintuitive and cannot be assessed in a normal state of mind - logic won't help here, even a twisted one. Science struggles to answer the questions regarding the very beginning. What is known, however, is that right after the Big Bang there was no hydrogen - it was too hot for it to form. First quark-gluon plasma, then protons and neutrons, then hydrogen atoms. So it took some time, though, given the age of the Universe, it occurred almost instantaneously.

I want the history of the 12 days of christmas?
|
The catichism version...1500's
|
The Twelve Days of Christmas is probably the most misunderstood part of the church year among Christians who are not part of liturgical church traditions. Contrary to much popular belief, these are not the twelve days before Christmas, but in most of the Western Church are the twelve days from Christmas until the beginning of Epiphany (January 6th; the 12 days count from December 25th until January 5th). In some traditions, the first day of Christmas begins on the evening of December 25th but the following day is considered the First Day of Christmas (December 26th).\n\nThe origin of the Twelve Days is complicated, and is related to differences in calendars, church traditions, and ways to observe this holy day in various cultures (see Christmas). In the Western church, Epiphany is traditionally celebrated as the time the three Wise Men or Magi arrived to present gifts to the young Jesus (Matt. 2:1-12). In some cultures, especially Hispanic and Latin American culture, January 6th is observed as Three Kings Day, or simply the Day of the Kings (Span: la Fiesta de Reyes, el Dia de los Tres Reyes, or el Dia de los Reyes Magos; Dutch: Driekoningendag). Even though December 25th is celebrated as Christmas in these cultures, January 6th is often the day for giving gifts. In some places it is traditional to give Christmas gifts for each of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Since Eastern Orthodox traditions use a different religious calendar, they celebrate Christmas on January 7th and observe Epiphany or Theophany on January 19th.\n\nBy the 16th century, some European and Scandinavian cultures had combined the Twelve Days of Christmas with (sometimes pagan) festivals celebrating the changing of the year. These were usually associated with driving away evil spirits for the start of the new year. \n\nThe Twelfth Night is January 5th, the last day of the Christmas Season before Epiphany (January 6th). In some church traditions, January 5th is considered the eleventh Day of Christmas, while the evening of January 5th is still counted as the Twelfth Night, the beginning of the Twelfth day of Christmas the following day. Twelfth Night often included feasting along with the removal of Christmas decorations. French and English celebrations of Twelfth Night included a King's Cake, remembering the visit of the Three Magi, and ale or wine (a King's Cake is part of the observance of Mardi Gras in French Catholic culture of the Southern USA). In some cultures, the King's Cake was part of the celebration of the day of Epiphany. \n\nThe popular song "The Twelve Days of Christmas" is usually seen as simply a nonsense song for children. However, some have suggested that it is a song of Christian instruction dating to the 16th century religious wars in England, with hidden references to the basic teachings of the Faith. They contend that it was a mnemonic device to teach the catechism to youngsters. The "true love" mentioned in the song is not an earthly suitor, but refers to God Himself. The "me" who receives the presents refers to every baptized person who is part of the Christian Faith. Each of the "days" represents some aspect of the Christian Faith that was important for children to learn.\n\nHowever, many have questioned the historical accuracy of this origin of the song The Twelve Days of Christmas. It seems that some have made an issue out of trying to debunk this as an "urban myth," some in the name of historical accuracy and some out of personal agendas. There is little "hard" evidence available either way. Some church historians affirm this account as basically accurate, while others point out apparent historical discrepancies. However, the "evidence" on both sides is mostly in logical deduction and probabilities. One internet site devoted to debunking hoaxes and legends says that, "there is no substantive evidence to demonstrate that the song 'Th

If space is a vacuum, how does light travel through it?
|
Or could a vacuum be defined as being devoid of physical matter but still can contain energy?
|
Light has nothing to do with space. It is a property of the electromagnetic field when this field is undergoing changes. from its point of origin, this field radiates out into space in all directions. It is invisible, but can be felt by charged particles. When this field is changed, for instance by suddenly altering the position of its emitter, a kink develops in the field which propagates out into space at the speed of light. Under the right circumstances of acceleration, this kink becomes electromagnetic radiation - light. So space simply acts as a passive container for the electromagnetic field, which in turn is the 'medium' in which light exists.

If you believe in God, do you have to believe in the Devil?
|
I think we must discern between believing in existance of someone and having faith in that person / being. If you don't believe in God (the fact that He exists), you consequently don't have to believe that Satan exists too, but if you accept God's words as true, then you will know Satan exists, because God said that he exists. What God tells us is not to trust Satan, even not to communicate with him under any circumstances. Those who are certain that Satan exists will either avoid him(as the result of knowing he is 'person' not to be trusted) or follow him because they reject God. In the end, I think that Satan is very pleased when people consider he doesn't exist, cause in that way he can fool them undercover.

What is the easiest way to create a budget that is flexible enought to live upon?

|
this is not normal as far as i know. you need to build a budget that takes into account your lifestyle. it also has to take into account things like clothing and car maintenance down the road. if you have a compulsion to spend you may think about setting a limit on it such as under 2.00 so that you can do it more often but its just like any addiction cold turkey is best but its also the hardest. seek therapy if this is a constant thing and if you feel forced to do it.

What is the coefficient of static friction? And why does it matter?
|
The coefficient of friction is the ratio of the force needed to push an object and make it slide divided by the force downward on the object (e.g., weight) resisting motion. It is used to determine the amount of force that is needed to make a smooth surfaced object of one material slide on a smooth surface of the same or a different material. For every combination of materials there is a specific coefficient of friction. Once calculated, the coefficient can be used for various loads (size of object). Ice on teflon has one of the lowest coefficients of friction. If you place an object on a plank and raise one end almost every object will slide before you reach an angle of 45 degrees. Objects that have an adhesive property or are especially rough or have cogs will not have true coefficients of friction. Once the coefficient of friction is known for a combination of materials (e.g., as determined in a lab) it can be used in many mechanical calculations where friction is present although the motion is more complicated than sliding along a floor.\n\nAn extra effort is sometimes needed to get an object to slide initially that is greater than steady state friction and that is sometimes called stiction.

Perhaps he has a consciousness but not in the sense of it being in our interests. \nLike for example we think the whole idea of God revolves around us humans. Perhaps it isn't so shallow and larger than that.\nThen again, if what you said were to be true, I suppose we would be in big trouble.

Is it possible to make an aquarium computer and have it still work?
|
I am just asking because I know that water damages computers, but it isn't the water that is damaging the computers it is the impurities in the water. So my question is if I remove the impureities, like using distilled water or somthing will I be able to put water into my computer and have it actually run?
|
I would say it is possible by serious computer modders.\n\nYou CANNOT submerge electronics in distilled water and still have them work. There are tons of chemicals and other oils on the surfaces of the computer that will introduce salinity and conductivity into water. Distilled water doesn't matter in the least.

It is a good idea to eat protein containing large amounts of arginine, such as chicken or other meats, as well as foods containing vitamin E, zinc, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. Note however that if you have erectile dysfunction, your diet has only suble effects on this condition and will not reverse it fully unless you had a severe defficiency of some of these nutrients.

Acer Laptop Won't Turn On!!!!!!!!!?
|
Hi, \n\nI'm have this Acer Aspire 1400, about 2 years old, and recently it just wont turn on at all. If the adaptor is plugged in, the power indicator light doesn't light up anymore. The battery has some residual charge left and will turn the laptop on for a few seconds (if the adaptor is not plugged in) but after that it turns off. I have tested the adaptor to see if it was the problem (by connecting it to some old speakers) and there is still power coming out of the adaptor. So what do you think could be the problem? Is the the power supply/distribution system in the laptop itself? Hope someone can help. Thanks!!!!!!!!
|
Plug it in and press the power button. If that doesn't work, make sure the electricity is hooked up to your house.

Does reimage just refer to redoing the hard drive? Is there anything I need to do special?

Reimaging refers to restoring an image to your pc harddrive. The image would be of the harddrive in some factory state. If you have the "Restore" discs that came with your computer (if you have a computer that came with restore discs) then you would just use those.\n\nIf you don't have a computer like that, then you are talking about formatting the harddrive and reinstalling the operating system on it. (Windows probably)\n\nThe original factory Windows XP CD is bootable meaning your computer can boot off it and start the windows xp installation.

how do you get meningitis?
|
Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord. The inflammation is usually caused by bacteria or viruses (viral meningitis is also called aseptic meningitis). Less common causes include fungi, protozoa, and other parasites. Sometimes certain medications, cancers, or other diseases can inflame the meninges, although such noninfectious cases of meningitis are much rarer.\n\nMany of the bacteria or viruses that can cause meningitis are fairly common and are more often associated with other everyday illnesses. Sometimes, however, they spread to the meninges from an infection in another part of the body. The infection can start anywhere, including in the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or urinary system, but the most common source is the respiratory tract. From there the microorganisms can enter the bloodstream, travel through the body, and enter the central nervous system. In some cases of bacterial meningitis, the bacteria spread directly to the meninges from a severe nearby infection, such as a serious ear infection (otitis media) or nasal sinus infection (sinusitis). Bacteria may also enter the central nervous system after severe head trauma or head surgery. \n\nBacterial meningitis is less common than viral meningitis but is usually much more serious and can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. Many different types of bacteria can cause meningitis: Group B Streptococcus, Escherichia coli, and Listeria monocytogenes are the most common causes of meningitis in newborns. Streptococcus pneumoniae (pneumococcus) and Neisseria meningitidis (meningococcus) are more frequent in children older than 2 months of age. Before the 1990s, Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) was the leading cause of meningitis in children in the United States. But the widespread use of the Hib vaccine as a routine childhood immunization has dramatically decreased the frequency of meningitis caused by Hib.\n\nViral meningitis is relatively common and far less serious than bacterial meningitis. It often remains undiagnosed because its symptoms are similar to those of the common flu. The frequency of viral meningitis increases slightly in the summer and fall months because people are more often exposed to common viral agents during those seasons. Most cases of viral meningitis are associated with enteroviruses - viruses that typically cause stomach "flu." However, many other types of viruses, such as the herpes virus, can also cause meningitis. The mumps virus was once a common cause of viral meningitis, but it is now rare due to the routine use of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.\n\nBacterial meningitis occurs in people of all ages but is more common in the very young (infants and young children) and the elderly (people above age 60). Teenagers and college students are also slightly more at risk for the disease because of time spent in close contact with many of their peers. Viral meningitis occurs in people of all ages, although it is more common in children.\n\nPeople with less competent immune systems, such as the very young or those whose immune systems have been compromised by disease, are more at risk for all types of meningitis. Some types are more common in child-care centers, boarding schools, dormitories, and military bases, mainly because infectious diseases tend to spread quickly among large groups of people. Not receiving routine vaccines for certain infectious agents that can cause meningitis - including those for mumps, Hib, and pneumococcus - also increases a person's risk for the disease.\n\nThe long-term outlook for children who develop meningitis varies greatly and depends on a child's age, the microorganism causing the infection, any other complications, and the treatment the child receives. The complications of bacterial meningitis can be severe and include neurological problems such as hearing loss, visual impairment, seizures, and learning disabiliti

How do I get a perfect complexion?
|
I have a very light complexion skin.And it's blotchy , dry some places oily.If I didnt have this problem I wouldent have to where cover up all the time
|
I have this same problem. I use a gentle exfoliant (Clean and Clear Pore Cleanser), because harsh beads tends to scratch the skin and actually cause breakouts. I use that in the shower. Then at night, I always use gentle cleansing cloths to wash my face before bed. Usually this is all I need to do. By using string acne meds, it can not only cause more dryness, but also cause more breakouts because when your skin gets dry, it produces oils to try and fight it, and can cause more breakouts. Then I have a facial lotion that is oil free and not supposed to cause breakouts (its a SPF 15 stuff from Clean and Clear I believe) in the morning after a shower to moisturize. \n\nAlso, I have been told to use steam before washing your face. It helps the oily parts without overdrying the dry parts.

Right/Wrong or just "point of view".?
|
There is nothing "Right or Wrong" in this world. Everything is just a "Point of View".\n\nIs the above statement correct ?
|
All is point of view, however Right and Wrong are judgments of action based upon point of view.\nA psychopath has no conception of Right or Wrong. A human who is not a psychopath as some conception of what is Right and what is Wrong, but these may not be relative.\nAlmost every culture of humans believes that it is Wrong to hurt another human on purpose. Does that make not hurting another Right?\nKeep in mind, no matter what your religious background, Divinity is the only real judge. All judgments made by humans might be in error and will probably cause you to be judged.

Can't really give you a number, but some advice ...\n\nTry adding some weights to your ab exercises, and try variations other than crunches. There are tons of sites on the net for this.\n\nDo aerobics and manage your calories. If you eat less calories than your body burns, you'll start to lose some fat. You can't target where you lose fat, and usually the stomach is the last place it leaves. If you gut it out for a while, you'll see some results.

Best answer will automatically go to first irreverant, yet practical answer.

Report on the effects of leachwifery and procreation on employee compensation.\n\nYou read that 30% of an employee's compensation is accounted for by benefits. However, most of these benefits consist of health insurance paid to men who have leachwives and rugrats at home. \n\nIt is unfair. You should not be compensated for things that do not benefit the company. In fact, if anything, leachwives and rugrats detract from an employee's performance and compensation should be deducted for having them.

The chemical name for Superglue is Cyanoacrylate. The other people who answered your question were partially correct. Cyanoacrylate is toxic when it is liquid, but in it's set-up state, it is NON-toxic. I used to work for a medical device manufacturing company and we used Superglue to make heart catheters. Any medical device has to pass rigid FDA regulations and toxicity testing. They cannot be toxic in any way! We used to let them rest for 36 hours before packaging them to make sure it was completely set up. So I would say that you could use it on your dentures.

Seriously, whatever happened with that? Did anyone ever get to the bottom of that and figure out what was going on with a male escort posing as a White House reporter, getting favored treatment, etc?
|
As far as I know other than no longer showing up at White House press conferences, nothing. I don't think he did anything illegal. There are still questions about how and why he was allowed to stay overnight many, many times at the White House. Why, exactly, was a homosexual male escort posing as a conservative newspaper reporter allowed to spend the night so many times? It sounds like someone may have had some really weird, twisted sexual fantasy. And, no, I'm not pointing any fingers. It could have been any number of people at the White House.\n\nIt strikes me as a sickeningly freakish thing, but ultimately not too terribly horrible, and not illegal. If someone in the White House has the hots for butch, gay escorts pretending to be homosexual hating conservative newspaper reporters, then more power to them.
