Looking to come up with some great invention ideas, and I want to put myself in an inventive state of mind. Any best practices? | Roger van Oech has some good books on breaking existing patterns in your thinking: http://www.creativethink.com/\n\nAlso, if you're looking to invent new products, I highly recommend Kathy Sierra's blog, "Creating Passionate Users" as a source of wisdom: http://headrush.typepad.com/\n\nIn general, the fundamental task of innovation is to look at the world without the assumptions you normally apply, and look at ways that things could be improved that you wouldn't normally think of changing.\n\nGood luck! |
Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome. My baby was born with it and her webpage is www.carepages.com and the carepage name is AllisonPatton. | Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a term used to describe a group of closely related rare heart defects that are present at birth. Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is characterized by the underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of the chambers on the left side of the heart (i.e., left atrium and ventricle). In addition, the mitral valve, which connects these chambers to each other, is usually abnormally narrow (stenosis) or closed (atresia) and the aortic valve, which connects the heart to the major vessels that lead from the lungs (ascending aorta), may also be narrow or closed. Infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome also have an abnormally narrow ascending aorta. |
he likes me but he wont tell me | I'd just ask him. Or ask him out. If you know he likes you, then you don't have a lot of chance for embarrassment. Your luck's pretty good on this. Or you can do the little move most girls do.... dropping hints and subtly flirting. Most guys, however, don't get it so just be straightforward. |
if u are an artist or painter u should get this | it's simply White my dear!!! |
I believe so, but I wanted to know if everybody agrees or if there someone who could change my mind... thanks for answering | Christ's teachings came directly from him (Gospels)aswell as other people like Paul (Whom Jesus spoke to after he went to take his place at the right hand side of God. \n\nSo I would have to say no. But you also have to treat things not written in the Bible with a lot of sceptisism. |

That stuff in "Energy Drinks." | According to Whole HealthMD, relatively little is known about the additive with the exception that it has some healthy side effects. \n\n"It appears to shield the heart from harm. It's best known for empowering bile acids to clear cholesterol from the body. It may also fight cellular troublemakers that can damage the heart. Studies in animals suggest that taurine lowers blood pressure as well."\n\nIt sounds like it is beneficial. However, like a lot of supplements, it's hard to judge something that hasn't been fully analyzed. |
Lol....I can't tell you the number of people that ask if I wear shoes, listen to country music or if I ever slept with my cousin. Do we Tennesseans have that bad of a reputation? lol | It's not just Tennessee; unfortunately we in Kentucky have a similar, and similarly unjustified, reputation. I think it was a rumor started by Yankee jealous because Southerners can pronounce "r" sounds in the middle of words. (ex: New York vs. New Yawk).\n\nBTW, I've been to Nashville, and I saw many shoes of all types there. :) |
I want to find my friend miss Chi Chu. She was come from Taiwan, living in CA now. I just have her telephone number 3695958 and fex number 3965548 I have xall her but still can't contact.She have two daughters.She is about 44 years old.If somebody know her, please tell me. I miss her so much! | The State of California has 26 Area Codes. Namely: 209 213 310 323 408 415 510 530 559 562 619 626 650 661 707 714 760 805 818 831 858 909 916 925 949 951 \n\nIf your friend lives in, say, Chinatown, Los Angeles, her Area Code would likely be 213 (Chinatown, San Francisco would be 415). In this case the phone number you would dial would be 1 (213) 369-5958. \n\nOf course, California is an immense place, with innumerable people. You could try all the Area Codes listed above, unless you have a more specific idea of which city she lives in.\n\nGood Luck! |
When i sleep i often hav dream y do we hav dream when sleeping. | Everybody dreams though they may not remember them. There are many schools of thought on the dreaming process. It is believed that they are just random images going through your brain, it is also believed that your dreams hold meanings by analyzing the images. \n Personally I love dreaming and when I go through stages of not remembering them it saddens me as I learn alot of things from my dreams. They also give me ideas that I can use in other ways... |
It seems that the term "war" is being applied to such a range of conflicts. World War I and World War II were more clear. But the drug war, war on poverty, war on obesity, and the war on terrorism. Should not Congress declare war? And shouldn't the conflict with terrorists be a police action? | A state of open, armed, often prolonged conflict carried on between nations, states, or parties. \nThe period of such conflict. \nThe techniques and procedures of war; military science. \nIn an active state of conflict or contention.\n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n[Middle English warre, from Old North French werre, of Germanic origin. See wers- in Indo-European Roots.] \nWord History: The chaos of war is reflected in the semantic history of the word war. War can be traced back to the Indo-European root *wers-, “to confuse, mix up.” In the Germanic family of the Indo-European languages, this root gave rise to several words having to do with confusion or mixture of various kinds. One was the noun *werza-, “confusion,” which in a later form *werra- was borrowed into Old French, probably from Frankish, a largely unrecorded Germanic language that contributed about 200 words to the vocabulary of Old French. From the Germanic stem came both the form werre in Old North French, the form borrowed into English in the 12th century, and guerre (the source of guerrilla) in the rest of the Old French-speaking area. Both forms meant “war.” Meanwhile another form derived from the same Indo-European root had developed into a word denoting a more benign kind of mixture, Old High German wurst, meaning “sausage.” Modern German Wurst was borrowed into English in the 19th century, first by itself (recorded in 1855) and then as part of the word liverwurst (1869), the liver being a translation of German Leber in Leberwurst. |
I see people throw around terms like zealot and fanatic, but I'm not sure what in their mind meets that definition. | Easy: someone who love's Jesus more than you. :O) |

There's an organization in our midwest city called CCC which helps to arrange daycare. I don't know what it stands for.\n\nAlso, run an ad in the paper, and look for ads.\n\nConsider placing a flyer with some of the local churches. Many professional women looking to go back to work are looking for an in-home daycare worker. |
She's so pretty!!! Does anyone like her, what about Brad Pitt??????? | her humanitarian work is to be applauded. she uses her celebrity for really good causes. |
They are both beautiful and talented!\nI perfer Jennifer Garner for her comedy and her butt kicking! | I would say Jennifer Garner. There is just something about her that screams "normal". Although, I really don't know much about Natalie Portman. Wasn't she is Garden State with Zach Braff? I love that movie and he is absolutely adorable!! Oops... I got off subject a little didn't I? Anywho, I like Jennifer Garner better. |
There is a holistic clinic in Vail Colorado that offers cool therapy laser treatments. How can I find someone in Indiana or Ohio who does the same treatments? I've tried everything I can think of via internet directories, and asked the staff at the Eagle-Vail clinic. I can find training schools and laser sales, but no practitioners. The laser has worked wonders on my injuries and my mother's arthritic shoulders. My mother would like to find a place near her home in either Indiana or Ohio. Anyone, please help! | Try a chiropractor or acupuncturist. |
I want to generate a report which is complitely dynamic. that means then report will show only those records which are saris fying the condition passed from vb6.0 app. Or I want to get some records from the attached table which are satisfying the condition.\nex:\nif i will pass 5000/- as salary from VB App then the report will display only those records whose salary field contains 5000/-. If I will pass "A/C" as dept then the report will display the records of only those employees who are working in A/C dept.\n\nThe answer is very necessary please help me. | First of all you need to design for the specific criteria.\n\nRemember, the windows API follows message passing architecture and you can handle the text change message by double clicking the textbox or creating one method for your own. Now in each textbox change method, try to find all records that match the criteria for a given field ( the same text string), and display ( you might be able to display only one or also program with a next button ), the current record.\n\nBut catching a textchange message is very performance intense thing to do in programming. You may wanna first enter a value in any text, and when a button is clicked you might wanna check for any nonempty textbox and get required recod and display.\n\nHope it helps. |
i really would appreciate a real answer . | It is only possible if you pay alot of money to ebay. I'm talking about hundreds of $. It will sell anyway if you properly list it. |
SkyCam, a camera suspended on cables above the playing field, gives us viewers a unique view of the action from an angle that helps us understand the game much better.\n\nMy question is, since the cables and camera appear to be not that far above the action, has it ever interfered with a play? If lets say the camera causes a pass to be deflected and intercepted during the Super Bowl, what will they do? \n\nIn baseball they have the ground rule double for cases like this (playing in domes) what happens in football? | It seems that the skycam operator is instructed to keep the camera behind the ball. And if it happens they have a replay. Definitely check out my source. |
I have been feeling this way for a year now. It's the result of a very bad decision that I had made for myself. One that I can't seem to forgive myself for. | Live with your choice. That is what life is all about. If you feel like you need additional time to kick yourself in the butt, do so. Learn to express your regret, write it if you cannot speak to anyone about it.\nYou do not have to go through this alone. Pay attention to those around you and you can find help.\nTime will pass. This is not the end of the world, it just may seem that way now. |
You are crossing the 'blue' Danube, in a city where many great composers lived, among them Johann Strauss, jr., Beethoven and Mozart. Where are you? | The Danube goes from Germany to the Black Sea, but clearly you're referring to Vienna, Austria. |

im currently using shareaza to download torrents. do u think there is a better client to do that?\n\nthx guys! | There is no critial answer for the word "BEST".\nIn my opinion, it is depends on the user-experienced,\nand the functions user needs.\n\nFor beginner, I guess the best is BitComet which\nis fully functional BT clients\n(such as BT download, create)\n\nFor more experienced user, the Azaureus would be the best\nchoice because user can modify the source code to \nsuit their need. Also, it is OS independent which\ncan be use in most OS.\n\nHowever, for me, I choose BitSpirit, because it \nprovides a unique ADSL anti-freeze function as I use ADSL\nfor internet connection. I experienced a connection\nslow down when I start BT from other BT clients.\n\nOther BT programs such as BitTorrent, Bittornado \nprovides different user interface which might be\na choice of other BT user. |

A bear is on top of a cliff 200 meters tall. It trips and falls down and hits the ground in 20 seconds. What is the color of the bear? | If it falls down from the top of the cliff to the ground 200 meters below, it'll hit the ground in 6.413696282 seconds if it doesn't strike any object on the way down. If all it did was to trip and hit the ground still on top of the cliff and took 20 seconds to do so, it probably struggled to remain up (on either 2 or 4 paws) and probably will remain its original color.\n\nHowever, since the bear spent 20 seconds falling a distance that should have taken it < 7 seconds, then it probably fought its way down, bouncing from boulder to boulder, treee to tree, as it fell. Therefore I expect the bear to be colored some brown (from dirt), some green (from brush), and some red (from torn skin & fur). |

Should you tip servers when you get carry out from a restaurant? For example, picking up from an Applebee's-type place or Chinese restaurant. How much should you tip? | Tipping is typically related to service, picking up food from a restaurant hardly qualifies as such.\n\nThere is no hard-set rule to tip for carry-out, but it's not customary.\n\nThat said, it's also your preference, if you feel you should or you visit the place often you might want to consider it. I still tip my favorite buritto place as it's a token of appreciation and I know how little they make.. I do tip less than if I ate there. |
Ok. This is absolutely retarded. I have a network cable, see? I plug it into my iMac and the internet connection works fine. I take out the cable and plug it into an ethernet card which is connected to a laptop with a fresh install of XP, and the internet connection on the laptop automagically doesn't work. Windows keeps telling me that the network cable is unplugged. This, of course, is total BS, as the cable is in there snugly. I know that the computer recognizes the card (I checked; the drivers are installed), but for some reason, it doesn't detect the cable which is plugged in. Strangely enough, not only does the cable work with the iMac, but it also worked on the same exact laptop with the same exact ethernet card when Ubuntu was installed. \n\nIf anyone could help, I'd be much obliged. | When you use an Ethernet cable to connect your computer to a hub, switch or router, you use what's called an MDI (straight through) cable.\n\nIn order to connect one computer to another directly, you must use an Ehternet cable with a different pinout called an MDI-X (cross over) cable.\n\nThe reason for this is because your computer is a "terminal" device. It transmits data on a specific wire and expects to receive data on a specific other wire. Then you connect it to a "host" device and it expects same thing, but on the opposite wires.\n\nFor more information, see the article on Ehternet on howstuffworks.com\n\nhttp://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet.htm |
I am so tired of looking at message boards hoping to learn something and finding it filled with disgusting comments from kids and young adults with twisted minds and too much time on there hands, can't these message boards be watched and that kind of statements and comments taken off. | i'm sure it is being watched but there's lots of questions to be dealt with, so some stuff might slip. just ignore the bad stuff and don't let it bother you.\nthere's also a "report abuse" button under each poster's name, so you can try that if you really care that much. |
I cannot seem to understand this... | The following is a partial response to a woman who asked basically this same question..why she was having these fantasies...\n\n "Being raped is an experience in which a woman is completely overpowered and totally helpless ‑- the complete opposite of being in control. It sounds like there's a part of you that would occasionally like to be able to lie back, let go, and let somebody else take over. \n\nRape fantasies are also common among women who have sexual shame or inhibitions from their childhood or past relationships. These women often enjoy the rape fantasy because they are not choosing to have sex and therefore are not accountable for any "sins." \n\nFurthermore, the fantasy centers on a man who is so caught up in his passion and desire that he has to take you now. The idea of that level of passion is very exciting for many women." |
What would be the major fixed and variable cost items/drivers for a small art gallery? Some might seem obvious, like cost of space but I have no knowledge of some specific, unique items. | I have worked with 5 galleries in the 10 years and find that having something for everyone is important, but also that you find your market and stick with it.\n\nIf you having an artist show up to sign his or hers work, go all out on promoting this person. They will remember you, good or bad.\n\nAnd as with everything, Location, location and location are key to your success.\n\nJerry |

Do you think it's right for supervisors to make you do things like stand up at your desk or sit in a cold room just because you are not making enough bonus money like they expect? | If that wasn't in the job description then I think u have reason to sue ur bosses for cruel & unusual punishment |
I have MS, beem diagnoised 11-2002, I am 56 years old, and have been taking LDN and doing just fine, concedering, so far. | Holy christmas (literally!)... the last poster, be careful.\n\nI was diagnosed in 1999. I didn't start taking medications until 2004 (had a bit of denial there)...\nI got a flare-up that forced me to think harder about my future (and a great fiance to boot!).\n\nA lot of people go on the interferons, and Glatiramer acetate, which is what I'm on. When I decided what to go on, I thought about what I'd have to do for it. I was a bit worried about giving myself a shot, and I figured that I would need to have the least intrusive method of medication delivery... so I decided subcutaneous (just under the skin). That cut down the list of interferons... \n\nThen I thought about side effects, a lot of the interferons have flu like symptoms. When I started the meds, I was feeling weak, pins and needly, and limpy. I said, do I want to have a cold on top of that. No siree.\n\nI mean, you really have to talk to your NEURO, and what (s)he recommends. It just so happened that the first NEURO in 1999, recommended Avonex as he was drinking out of an Avonex branded mug (no foolin!). That is what turned me off from the med idea in the first place. My SECOND neuro, he asked me my concerns, and we decided on Copaxone. Yes, it's daily, but it's under the skin, and it just has local reactions for me as a side effect.\n\nI WAS PETRIFIED of giving myself these shots. Many of the companies (my drugs, included) have autojectors, so you don't even have to see the needle. Copaxone (or my doctor, I can't remember, it was so long ago!)... required me to have a home care nurse there the first time to show me how to administer the drugs. I gave it to myself without hesitation the first time! I am a little wary of someone else doing it (though she had recommended that my fiance learn how, too).\n\nResult? Well, there's not much to say! (that's a good thing)... my original symptoms had faded, and I don't know if that was the copaxone or what. I've been on it since 2/2004 (wow! going on 2 years soon!), and I have NO NEW LESIONS! boy, that's more exciting than I thought it was going to be.\n\nNow, your milage WILL vary, and unlike my first time experience, you will LIKELY have to go through a few drugs to find one you like.\n\nGood luck to you! |
it's the age old question.... | The sky appears blue because the gases(mainly nitrogen and oxygen) present in our atmosphere vibrate at a specific frequency. From the light that we can see, ie.. blue, green, red, yellow...etc, the the higher frequency colors are absorbed more by the atmosphere than the lower frequency(actually they're scattered, they still make it to us but indirectly whereas the yellowish color of the sun is more direct). So blue, green, and violet(violet having the shortest wavelength) are absorbed by the atmosphere, while red, yellow and orange are allowed through. The color of blue that we perceive the sky varies from day to day based on the content of gases present and the frequency that they vibrate. It works the same way as light passing through a blue balloon, except in this case the balloon is our atmosphere. |
I awas having a debate with my husband over whether or not scientists have cloned an organ. I say they have, he says they have not. I thought, however, with the stem cell research, this was the whole point...to get the stem cells to grow into whatever organ was needed?!\n\nDoes anyone have any answers to clarify this debate? | At this point, it isn't possible to grow organs, but at some point this may be possible. The idea would be to take some cells and "instruct" them, by giving the right amounts of certain molecules, to grow into certain types of cells that would form an organ.\n\nIt will be easier to make replacement cells of a certain type, such as bone marrow, or nerve cells, than to make a whole organ that has many types of cells and a complex architecture. We're still trying to learn all the signals that go into telling cells how to become one type versus another, so there is still a ways to go.\n\nThe stem cell issue comes in because most cells in the adult have already decided what they will be when they grow up, and they can't go back and become anything different. Stem cells haven't decided yet, so they could be "told" what to be, when we know all the instructions. The research is very slow now in the United States, because of limitations from the government, but other countries are pulling ahead nicely (and some of our best scientists are leaving to go to those places). |

For example, I have been following The Rolling Stones current tour on a couple of sites which post reviews & set lists just after the concerts. I had noticed that one of the postings on Stones Planet had duplicated a\nposting for a Miami concert on 10/17 where it should have been a posting for a Dallas concert on 11/29. I e-mailed the web site and within a half-hour, I received an apology stating the problem had been corrected. Sure enough, when I accessed the site using Internet Explorer, the error had been corrected but when I accessed it using Netscape 7.2, it still had the incorrect posting and remains so nearly 24-hours later. When the tour, currently on break, was posting it's updates after each show, there was almost always a lag of a couple of hours before the same update could be viewed through both browsers. Why should there be any difference at all, once the update has posted, just because a different browser is used? | Because every browser has its own memory of what pages looked like, and its own policies (set by you in the Preferences) for when to use that memory. Go back to rolling stones, (the exact page), hold down the shift key and press F5. This should fix it. |
It seems that marijuana has less negative effects than alcohol. Why was marijuana outlawed in the U.S. and not alcohol? | Because alcohol contains only alcohol. The effects upon the brain are well known and documented. Marijuana, on the other hand, has hundreds of chemicals, each possibly interacting with the other(s) in ways not yet researched. For instance, a well-known drug test involves snipping off a bit of your hair. if you smoked pot even six months ago, traces of it remain detectible as part of the hair itself, vs. the kidneys elimination if all traces of alcohol from the body within 48 hours. Also, it is suspected that pot may alter the body's DNA, so long-term chronic effects are still unknown. |
opinion about today's education | Who would want to teach? The slogan "Teacher is soo rewarding" isn't going to cut it. It's a job. Teachers teach to earn a living, to pay a mortgage, to make car payments, etc.\n\nWhy would a highly qualified mathematician want to teach? Yet that's what we say we want in our public schools. \n\nWhy would a highly qualified scientist want to teach? Yet that's what we say we want in our public schools.\n\nWe say we want HIGHLY QUALIFIED teachers in EVERY classroom, but what HIGHLY QUALIFIED person would want to fill the job, when they're so qualified for positions that pay them so much more?\n\nThis is only ONE point, and it is this. We're not willing to pay for what we want. |
a rich man that buys you whatever your heart desires, but does not love you (or) a poor man, yet he works, that pampers, adores and loves you? | the one that adores u. I agree with the young lady's answer money isn't everything and eventually having everything u want won't satisfy your need for companionship.

I think that would get rid of some of those outlandish questions. How many more people can ask if they are really in love, or if their question is a weird question, etc? | I agree with you but it may not be practicable. When you ask a question and you get say five answers you can judge the best answer. How would you lump and rate say five questions? Perhaps you could get one point for rating any question as "Good Question" giving the author a point too. Please suggest that to Yahoo (see bottom of point page that invites suggestions). You deserve the credit. Good luck. |

A "Wise King" devised a contest to see who would receive the Princess hand in marriage.\nThe Princess was put in a 50x50 foot carpeted room. Each of her four suitors were put in one corner of the room with a small box to stand on. The first one to touch the Princess hand would be the winner and become the new King.\nThe rules of the test were that the contestants could not walk over the carpet, cross the plane of the carpet, or hang from anything; nor could they use anything but their body and wits (i.e. no magic or telepathy, nor any items such as ladders, block and tackles etc).\nOne suitor figured out a way and married the Princess and became the new King. How did he figure it out? | The successful suitor simply asked the Princess to walk over to where he stood, and to touch his hand! |
Is there a method, or is it simply understanding the type of answer needed and knowing, through study and exposure, which algorithms to try? | I studied serious math for 8 years now, even though I'm only a high school student. I even competed in IMO and have won a medal, yet I cannot give you the best algorithm to solve a problem. To solve a problem, you need experience. To reach the international level, you need to solve millions of problems(literally!). Only practice will give you the ability to solve any problems easily. |

Three friends check into a motel for the night and the clerk tells them the bill is $30, payable in advance. So, they each pay the clerk $10 and go to their room. A few minutes later, the clerk realizes he has made an error and overcharged the trio by $5. He asks the bellhop to return $5 to the 3 friends who had just checked in. The bellhop sees this as an opportunity to make $2 as he reasons that the three friends would have a tough time dividing $5 evenly among them; so he decides to tell them that the clerk made a mistake of only $3, giving a dollar back to each of the friends. He pockets the leftover $2 and goes home for the day! Now, each of the three friends gets a dollar back, thus they each paid $9 for the room which is a total of $27 for the night. We know the bellhop pocketed $2 and adding that to the $27, you get $29, not $30 which was originally spent. Where did the other dollar go???? | The $2 should be subtracted from the $27, not added to it -- since they were overcharged by $5, the room actually cost $25.\n\nThey ending up paying $27, $25 for the room and $2 to the bellhop. That $27 plus the $3 refund is the original $30 |

I am trying to figure out which birthcontrol would be the best contraceptive to use other than condoms because condoms really take alot of pleasure out of sex. We were planting on using the pull-out method no matter which other we choose, but whats agood idea to go with?? | There are a lot of options these days- cervical cap, diaphragm, sponge, birth control pill, IUD, female condom, Depo-Provera, inplant, Ortho Evra, an NuvaRing. It would be best to talk to your doctor about which choice is right for you and your body. I would not recommend withdrawl as it has a very high rate of failure, and is like not using anything at all. |

And do you believe in them? If you do which one do you have? | 1 Corinthians 12:7-11\nBut the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.\n\nYes. I most definitely believe them. I have witnessed them. I have the gift of speaking in tongues. And you can have more than one by the way. I wish you the best on your path to God. I will be praying for you. Merry Christmas. :) |
A while ago my grandma called with htis question and I haven't been able to find anything on it. Does anyone know thename of the presdient whjo took money gtrom the social security fund?

It's a tax that goes into the general fund |
It seems like all the airlines have gone bankrupt at one point or another, and FlyI just announced that they would be selling the company next week. We obviously use the services of the airline, and you certainly pay for the seats, but why does it seem that none of the companies make any money? And if they don't, why would you even start an airline in the first place? | Lots of prestige in owning your own airline.\n\nYou may discover a profitable route that is available for you to service. (Your can run an airline with only one plane and only one route)\n\nOn the other hand,\n\nCrafts are EXTREMELY expensive to run/maintain/service\n\nFuel is extremely EXPENSIVE.\n\nPilots wages are EXTREMEMLY expensive.\n\nPolitics and newspaper headlines can SEVERELY DAMAGE your airline business. eg 9/11. \n\nThe industry is EXTREMELY competitive.\n\n\nMajority of your business is from holiday makers/vaccationers every summer and is NEVER guaranteed. |
give me code if u can plz | Doing this in SQL server 2000 is a bit too difficult. You should rather consider upgrading to SQL Server 2005.\n\nIn SQL Server 2005, new datatypes have been introduced with a suffix MAX which allow you to store data upto 2 GB (which would probably be sufficient for storing a movie clip).\n\nTypically, you would use varbinary(MAX) as the datatype for the column that you want to store the movie in. |
I would like to branch out and make new friends of different cultures and backgrounds. I would love to meet new people and swap stories and events just for fun (no romance, I am married). Is there a site where I can go? | Some may disagree, but I would run the risk of chat rooms, i.e. Yahoo's. It's kind of a crap shoot though; you have to wade through a lot of jerks IMing you for sexually-related reasons to find the good ones. But you can. I have many many times. I have friends all over the world from chat.\n\nHi5 is a pretty good social site. Some others you might try are OKcupid.com and myspace.com All 3 of these sites are free. |

when me and my ex were together we faught a lot but i think it mainly due to my unwillingness to compromise. but i broke it off. And now here it is 4 months later and i realize that i screwed up and am still deeply in love with her. i waited 2 months to just get another lay she waited a month and is now in another relationship. with somone that she says she loves. but she also says she still loves me. And she torn equally between the two of us. the new guy goes to collage with her every day and is in a position where he can make her life a living hell if they were to break up. this is an excrusiating experiance for me as far as emotions go. i get 1 hour of sleep pre night. Because i stay up thinking about her. i know there is no possible way this guy loves her more than me. but he is more finacially stable and is heading the right direction in life. wich of corse makes it that much harder. plus many other things i don't have room to type. so how can i win her back? Or should i not try? | It kind of depends on what you were not able to compromise on and if you are willing to give it a try her way. As far as try to get her back start doing little things for her. It sounds like you still talk and you must have some idea what kind of things she like. Surprise her make her feel like she is the best part of your life. Good luck... |

How would one save an array in MySQL using PHP? | If you are using the native mysql drivers in PHP, then there are no MySQL arrays, you are creating an object that you iterate over. The idea is to iterate over the object's results and put those results into an array. Observe:\n\n<?php\n// Connecting, selecting database\n$link = mysql_connect('mysql_host', 'mysql_user', 'mysql_password')\n or die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());\necho 'Connected successfully';\nmysql_select_db('my_database') or die('Could not select database');\n\n// Performing SQL query\n$query = 'SELECT * FROM my_table';\n$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed: ' . mysql_error());\n\n// Printing results in HTML\necho "<table>\n";\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {\n echo "\t<tr>\n";\n foreach ($line as $col_value) {\n echo "\t\t<td>$col_value</td>\n";\n }\n echo "\t</tr>\n";\n}\necho "</table>\n";\n\n// Free resultset\nmysql_free_result($result);\n\n// Closing connection\nmysql_close($link);\n?> \n\nThe line you are looking for is:\nwhile ($line = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_ASSOC))\n\nBasically, mysql_fetch_array will return an associtive array containing the column name as the key, and the data for that column into $line. Then you can further push that into an array container.\n\nvar $data = array();\n...\n$data[] = $line;\n...\n\nYou cannot otherwise take a mysql result and make it an array, you must iterate over the object.\n\nFYI - I do not reccomend using the native PHP drivers. Using an abstraction library makes your code so much more portable. Using native drivers may make for quick coding, but you loose so much more in the end. \n\nI've included links to Pear::DB, ADODB, and PDO as possible libraries to look at. There are more, these are just examples.\n\nHope that helps. |

Is anyone up to level 5 yet? 4? 3? | i've yet to see anything in the UI that shows the "ladder" so to speak. i know of about 3 people that have reached level 3 and if you choose me as the right answer, i'll be closer :-) at this time, i don't think there's anyone at 4 or 5 given the daily limits. |
I can see the two partitions on the drive with fdisk. Partition Magic says the drive has a non-standard geometry. I am unable to install even DOS.\nAny ideas how I can get data from the second (extended) partition? | There are various procedures to recover data from standard ATA Hard Disks. If you are relatively unexperienced with computers, I would suggest going to a professional in your area to restore the data. If you're willing to take the time try stellarinfo, it's highly recommended. I've left a couple of links for you as well. Also, you may try Norton Ghost, ghost the partition or disk and then go back in through Ghost Explorer and extract the files that way. |
