whats the best way to defend ourself?

can you suggest any home made instrument?

The best defense is your mind. Stay out of situations where the temper would escalate to violence. If you use words and your brain, you can get out of almost any bad situation without coming to blows. \n\nIf you absolutely *have* to defend yourself from imminent physical assault, remember that the law favors even-handed responses, meaning don't defend yourself with a deadly weapon unless you're threatened with one.

who invented sudoku?

The puzzle was designed by Howard Garns, a retired architect and freelance puzzle constructor, and first published in 1979. Most likely inspired by the Latin square invention of Leonhard Euler, Garns added a third dimension (the regional restriction) to the mathematical construct and (unlike Euler) presented the creation as a puzzle, providing a partially-completed grid and requiring the solver to fill in the rest. The puzzle was first published in New York by the specialist puzzle publisher Dell Magazines in its magazine Dell Pencil Puzzles and Word Games, under the title Number Place (which we can only assume Garns named it).\n\nIt was popularized by Nikoli in Japan, who gave it the current name of "Sudoku.

Looking for Incremental Backup Software + bootable images + networkable (?)?

I'm basically looking for incremental backup software that will be able to take an image of the HD, update the backup as necessary as on a set schedule - incrementally of course, can sync this over the network to a NAS device, annnd when finally coming to a restore, it should be bootable such that Windows/Dos/Linux does not have to be preinstalled if 'forbid' there is a severe crash on the physical drive that is being imaged. \n\n\nAny help or guidance would be highly appreciated!

PARTIAL ANSWER: We use Connected TLM as an incremental backup to sql for 700+ user desktops.. it doesn't restore the total PC image as you asked, yet it's darn good at what it does file by file restore.. based on helpdesk monitoring of 700+ users over 3 years. .. Perhaps you could use PXE to boot to a RIS server, install the image, then use connected to restore the files.. ?

what good laptop can recommend a college student ?

i'm a freshman and i study business administration/Marketing

I would check with your school to see if they have a existing relationship with a PC manufacturer. Many times colleges get a killer deal when you consider they also include insurance and maintenance for the whole time you are in school. \n\nIf they have no deals or you don't like their deal, then I can recommend a ThinkPad. They are not the latest and greatest technology, but they are solid and easy to get serviced. We have had a few ThinkPads go down, but the local service companies handled the warranty repair without me having to ship the thing in, usually within a day or so. \n\nBut again, I know some Universities that handle repairs in house as well, even giving out loaners while the repair happens, so it's worth it to find out what your school offers.

What is RSS?

"RSS" stands for Really Simple Syndication, Rich Site Summary, and/or Rockdale, Sandow, and Southern (Railroad) (if you trust the good folks at AcronymFinder.com). Really Simple Syndication is probably the most widely agreed-upon choice. As far as we are concerned, all three acronyms do an inadequate job of describing what RSS actually is: RSS is a standard for publishing regular updates to web-based content. Using this standard, Web publishers provide updates, such as the latest news headlines or weblog postings. Meanwhile, consumers use RSS reader applications (or one of a growing number of online services) to collect and monitor their favorite feeds in one place (RSS content from a publisher, viewed in one of these readers, is often called a "feed").\n\nIf you want to collect and browse feeds you have many choices, but there are two primary categories of feed reading applications: installable desktop programs and online services. There are many desktop applications for Windows and Mac OS system users, but two of our favorites are FeedDemon (Windows) and NetNewsWire (Mac OS X). Both require a small purchase price but are tops for ease of use and ship with dozens of feeds pre-loaded so you can explore the syndication "universe" right away. Free readers are available as well; a search for "RSS Reader" at popular search sites will yield many results.\n\nIf you would prefer to use an online service to track and manage your feeds, you have the advantage of being able to access your feed updates anywhere you use a web browser (and in some cases, on mobile devices). Also, any upgrades or new features are added automatically. The trade-off comes in different (some would say fewer) features and slightly slower performance versus desktop systems. NewsGator, Bloglines, and new RSS content capabilities in My Yahoo! are probably the three best-known examples of web-based feed reading services.

Any help for aging thin cancerous skin that's sensitive to almost everything?

He's a white thin-skinned 83-yr-old man who's skin is now sensitive to sun, heat, light, TV, etc., so it even hurts to lay on the sheets in the bed. He gets cancer eruptions burnt off as they flair up but wants relief from continual ouchiness. He cant even wear his sun hat nor sun glasses anymore 'cause it hurts wherever they touch his skin. He tries to get his mind off of problems but he cant do anything without being irritated. (He already tried noxzema, uses zinc oxide, tries various skin products & soaps ...) Any answers?? Thanks!

Please listen to me as I am only here to help. You have to do exactly as I say. Go to the website and look up CESIUM CHLORIDE AND OXYGEN DROPS. The other ones could be green algae and paw paw, etc etc. These medicines are known in the medical field, but they dont talk about it. Because these are natural remedies with no toxic chemicals in it. So, thats why they cant profit from it. If they cant profit, they dont sell. I mean, some are even made of mushrooms that you can grow anywhere. Why would they promote this? These doctors will never make money. So, the FDA has put a restriction on these remedies. They cannot say anything about cancer on their labels. They have to be sold as vitamins or health products. But, the website can tell you how to use it, and what cancers it can cure. See how they are suppressing the world? In fact these treatments can cure up to 90% of patients that doctors have already given up on. Chemo therapy is not a therapy. I would rather die then go through with that. They try to kill your cancer with chemicals and radiation. If they kill all your cancer before they kill all your body cells, then they consider you cured. But, what about after that? Your body is damaged and your health deteriorated. There is almost no recovery to this. How many people you know live past 5 years after chemo therapy? Not much if any at all. And compared to the masses, its almost nothing. What do you have to live with after chemo? Your body is not sunburned, its practically microwaved. CESIUM CHLORIDE can be taken with OXYGEN DROPS. Go to the websites. You can go to these websites and they will give a whole package for you to buy. You can take these medicines over the course of 3 months, a year, or whatever they prescribe. After your mom is feeling well, taking it for about 2 months or more, you can almost garauntee that you are cured. But, you have to listen to them and take it till they tell you to stop. They even cure certain 3rd stage cancers with a 90% success rate. But, time is of the essence so I urge you to buy it as soon as possible and take next day delivery or something. I wish you the best of luck in the future. But, heed my warning, do not go into chemo. They always tell you something fuzzy like, oh..you might live another 2 years, or you might die right away..etc etc....Then how do you decide? But, they always say that people who have been on chemo will only live a maximum of X years after that. So, if you do exactly what I say, not only will you have a chance to survive, but all your friends that may get cancer...

'Intelligent Design' should be better named 'Malevolent Design'. Do you agree ?

Intelligent design embodies a theology that features a god who is malicious toward people. \n\n1. When you look below the surface, the world is filled with evidence that leads open minded people to conclude that evolution has occurred. This evidence comes from the fields of paleontology, paleogeography, biogeography, molecular biology, genetics, embryology, and probably lots of others. The god of intelligent design would have had to rig this evidence in favor of misleading us.\n\n2. If the god of intelligent design violates the natural laws he created to create living organisms and to create false evidence, how often does he do this? For example, maybe two seconds ago, he created the us and the entire universe, including this message up to this point, my memory of having written it, and your memory of having read it thus far. If god violates natural law, anything is possible.\n\n3. If the intelligent design god is going to create the world in any whimsical way, then he created all the suffering that we endure when he could have created a world without suffering. Either he willfuly created our suffering, or he is an inept creator.\n\n4. If the existence of complex organisms proves the existence of an intelligent designer, then the existence of the intelligent designer proves the existence of a more intelligent designer who created him. ...and an even more intelligent designer who created the second one. ...and an even more than more intelligent designer who created the thrid one. ...and so on, ad infinitum. Which one should be worshiped? What will happen to our souls if we worship the wrong one?\n\n5. I'm sure that people better versed in philosophy and theology could add many more reasons to believe that the god of intelligent design is malicious.

what is global warming?

Global warming is the theory that the Earth's atmosphere and oceans are getting warmer due to pollution and other environmental factors induced by humans.\n\nSome of the factors include burning fossil fuels (oil) and deforrestation (trees remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere).\n\nThere's discussion that if the effects of global warming aren't counteracted, ice caps will melt, sea levels will rise, and weather patterns could be altered. \n\nLow-lying coastal cities such as Bangladesh or New Orleans could be wiped out within the next 100 years as sea levels rise. Weather patterns could be altered, bringing drought to areas that used to have lots of rain, and rain to areas that used to be arid.\n\nRead any of the sources below, and you'll find more information about the causes and potential effects. It's definitely something that shouldn't be ignored.

how is a digital camera work ?

Optical

Most of the camera works exactly the same as any other... there's a lens that focuses and a shutter that is normally closed, blocking light from passing through the camera, but opens when you want to take a picture. In a film camera, the light that gets through the shutter while it is open hits film, which is chemically sensitive to light. Digital cameras use a charged-couple device instead. This is a photosensitive (sensitive to light) computer chip, which converts the light energy into information that can be read by a computer.

What is Linux?

Okay, I'm pretty sure linux is an operating system, but whats the deal about it? I mean i've heard that joke about, "use the best. apples for graphics, linux for servers and windows for solitaire". I understand the joke but what is linux, who really uses it?

Linux Pronounced lee-nucks or lih-nucks. A freely-distributable open source operating system that runs on a number of hardware platforms. The Linux kernel was developed mainly by Linus Torvalds. Because it's free, and because it runs on many platforms, including PCs and Macintoshes, Linux has become an extremely popular alternative to proprietary operating systems.\n\nLinux is a computer operating system and its kernel. It is one of the most prominent examples of free software and of open-source development: unlike proprietary operating systems such as Windows and Mac OS, all of its underlying source code is available to the public and anyone can freely use, modify, and redistribute it.\n\nIn the narrowest sense, the term Linux refers to the Linux kernel, but it is commonly used to describe entire Unix-like operating systems (also known as GNU/Linux) that are based on the Linux kernel combined with libraries and tools from the GNU Project and other sources. Most broadly, a Linux distribution bundles large quantities of application software with the core system, and provides more user-friendly installation and upgrades.\n\nInitially, Linux was primarily developed and used by individual enthusiasts. Since then, Linux has gained the support of major corporations such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Hewlett-Packard, and Novell for use in servers and is gaining popularity in the desktop market. Proponents and analysts attribute this success to its vendor independence (the opposite of vendor lock-in), low cost, security, and reliability.\n\nLinux was originally developed for Intel 386 microprocessors and now supports all popular computer architectures (and several obscure ones). It is deployed in applications ranging from embedded systems (such as mobile phones and personal video recorders) to personal computers to supercomputers.\n\n\nTo know much more about linux Read the very good article\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINUX

Were there any Marines that saw service in the European theater during WW II?

Were they exclusive to the Pacific and the war against Japan?

Shortly after the United States entered World War II, the Allies agreed that the European Theater would have priority in the war over the Pacific Theater. The Marine Corps' war was in the Pacific and all war plans regarding the employment of Marines reflected that. Nevertheless, because the Marine Corps was part of the naval establishment, it had responsibility also for furnishing men to parts of the Navy assigned to the European and Mediterranean theaters and to the operations conducted there.\n\nThese were not large Marine formations, but were, for the most part, individual Marines and small detachments assigned to guard duty at the barracks and naval operating bases established in the United Kingdom, or men assigned as "sea-going" Marines in the detachments of the large fighting ships. Another category was filled by those intrepid Marines who volunteered for duty with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), to undertake covert operations with the underground against the Nazis in the occupied countries of Europe and North Africa.

why the movie brokeback mountain, hasn't been shown in all movie theaters?

Cowboys have become an American icon, the very essence of manhood. The idea that cowboys could be just normal everyday people with everyday problems is disturbing to a lot of the general public. The thought that for example "the Marlboro Man", could be homosexual or bisexual ruins the mystique and romantic ideology of the whole post civil war era, Go West Young Man theme that our culture has come to take as the honest to God truth. The fact that homosexuality has been around since before the Ancient Greco-Roman eras and was commonly accepted, even encouraged has been forgotten or buried under our more "MORALISTIC" current society. The premise of this movie is totally realistic, and i look forward to seeing it, even though i am a happily married cowgirl to a most-definitely heterosexual equally happy cowboy. Grow up people, accept and embrace the differences in our society or at the very least keep your fire and brimstone speeches and attitudes out of the theatres and in the church houses where they belong!

do i have the right to be mad?

my guy said he was going to be back at noon it is past noon by almost 3 hrs. he went to his x's house to be with his kids last night and he hasnt come back. i am stressing it so bad. what do i do?

It's all a matter of trust. Obviously if you are freaking out about this, there is something about him or about your relationship with him that is making you suspicious in this situation. \nGetting obviously angry with him when there is no proof of wrongdoing will only make him angry and defensive in return, and nothing positive can be accomplished when that happens. \nExpress to him (calmly) how this made you feel-- if he is at all worth your time and energy, he will totally understand how uncomfortable this must have made you, and be willing to discuss the reasons why.

what is the pre-n router?

Many organizations utilize wireless local area networks (WLAN) because of their convenience. The trade-off made is convenience for speed. Today’s most advanced wireless standard, IEEE 802.11g, operates at roughly half the speed of the most common 100 Mbit/s wired LAN. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) began to address this speed differential in the middle of 2003. Their vision was IEEE 802.11n, which would provide speeds equal to or greater than 100 Mbit/s LANs. Their work has yet to be completed. The lack of approval has led some to release so-called Pre-N equipment, which seeks to give the benefits of the 802.11n standard without an official standard. Because there is no official standard, implementing these products has future implications to customers.\n\n\nStandards\n\nStandards are made for very specific reasons. Foremost, they ensure that devices can operate with devices made by other manufacturers. Essentially, when a company releases a product before the ratification of the standard, they must infer what the IEEE is going to set. These inferences mean that the product may be incompatible with the final standard. If this does occur, an organization may be locked in to purchasing only identical hardware to that which they own. This would ensure compatibility.\n\n\nImplications\n\nAnother possibility if incompatibility exists is the release of an upgrade. The company would not be required to release updates, but if it did, there would be considerable work for the support groups. This may include individually upgrading each device, a very time consuming proposition. Despite the time commitment, an upgrade would be the most responsible course of action for the company because the customers would be able to choose any 802.11n solution for their purposes.\n\n\nImplementation\n\nIf an organization chooses to implement the Pre-N technology, the theory is the same as previous wireless network implementations. The setup would most likely begin with a router. This would be hard-wired to the Internet connection. There are also wired ports on the rear of the router. These allow any wired device to be included on the network. The router would then provide access to any device in its range with a compatible network interface card (NIC.) Currently, NICs exist for both desktop computers and notebook computers.\n\n\nAdvantages/Conclusions\n\nThe advantages to using this technology are clear. It will allow computers to connect easily to wireless networks, without sacrificing the speed possible with a wired connection. Another concern that comes up is that gigabit Ethernet is also available. If an organization were to implement this, 802.11n would again be just one-tenth of the speed. The implementation of any wireless network must be carefully considered. Regardless of which standard is followed, the security threats are common. Data is still being broadcast over radio frequencies. Before deciding whether to use Pre-N technology, one must first decide whether wireless is appropriate for their application. Only then should 802.11n be considered.

Is DNA the real map from where we come from and where we go to????

Interestingly phrased.\n\nYes, I would say that DNA is the map from where we are coming from. Researchers are using DNA and the relative similarities of certain sequences to deduce just how long ago we diverged from previous forms.\n\nWhat I mean by that: evolutionarily speaking, everything living on earth today can be traced back to a common ancestor (LUCA - Last Universal Common Ancestor). The bigger the difference in the sequences of two species DNA, the longer ago we diverged from that common ancestor and the less related the two organims are to one another -- meaning there are more intermediate organisms between their current status and the ancient ancestor shard by the two.\n\nWe can use DNA not just to illucidate species broad histories, but individual histories too. We have a very unique piece of DNA in our cells. It is contained in our mitochandria. Mitochandria are little energy plants in our cells. The DNA in mitochandria, unlike the rest of our DNA, as we know it, is passed down only from our mothers. So, based on that, this DNA is less diverse. Any differences in this DNA has to come from mutations. Because the mutation rate is relatively slow, there are key "markers" that have appeared from time to time in specific subgroups of humans over time. So the markers you contain in your mitochandrial DNA are indicative of where which subgroup you are a decenent of. These subrgroups can be indicative of races, but as the more information we collect on the various markers from around the world, we'll be able to determine specific regions from which your ancestors lived and migrated to throughout history.\n\nAs far as a map to where we are going, I would say that DNA is that too, but that is less able to be predicted. Our DNA will definitely determine how our species continues to evolve. Let me give you an example. Let's say that this bird flu pandemic that the media has been stressing over the past 6 months actually does happen sometime in the future. An individuals ability to survive such a pandemic will be directly linked to their specific genetic sequence. Some will be innately immune to infection and thus will probably survive the pandemic. Others will not be so lucky. If the speculation is true and hundreds of millions of people do die, their genetic makeup will be eliminated -- thus those genes that make up those people will be removed from the general gene pool. The remainder of people will determine the fate of humankind. If another pandemic was to follow years down the road and the genes that were left over were succeptble to that infection, it could mean the end of the human race. More than likely though, there will always be some subset of the population whose genes allow for survival. From there, the future of humans depends on how overall fit those genes are.

8Family & Relationships

Why do girls try to have sex with you then expect you to want a relaitonship or feel its the next step.?

I keep noticing that girls will make the first move or try to get in your bed. After that they begin to like you more and pay no attention to the way you act towards them. If someone isn't that into you to begin with why do you think it would change? Furthermore, when there are no signs of anything changing why act surprised or angered?

Alot of females lack an amount of respect for themselves. So they deem the amount of sex or the intensity of the act as a means of actually being with someone. Rather than establishing the relationship first and allowing the loving to be the icing on the cake. It's kind of like when we were kids and played make believe. However,the difference would be that we adventually snapped back to reality. As mentioned previously, woman are emotional creatures and once a guy hitz it the right way or tells us something we like to hear. Woman pretty much lose their minds...so sorry fellas but that's just the way it is...

Who is nicolaus copernicus?

"Mikołaj Kopernik (February 19, 1473–May 24, 1543), more commonly known by the Latin form Nicolaus Copernicus, was a Polish astronomer, mathematician and economist, mainly remembered for developing a scientifically useful heliocentric (Sun-centered) theory of the solar system. His main occupations and services rendered were in Royal Prussia, as church canon, governor and administrator, economist, jurist, physician, astrologer and military leader (conducting defense against the Teutonic Order). Amid all his responsibilities, he treated astronomy as a hobby. His theory about the Sun as the center of the Universe, opposed to the traditional geocentric theory that placed Earth at the center, is considered one of the most important discoveries ever, and is the fundamental starting point of modern astronomy and modern science itself (it inaugurated a scientific revolution). His theory affected many aspects of human life, opening the door for young astronomers, scientists and scholars to take a skeptical attitude toward established dogma."

What are the chances that Israel launches an attack to prevent Iranian nuclear ambitions?

Israel will launch an attack on Iran only if it feels that it is the only way to prevent an attack. I could see Israel bombing a vehicle that was to supply enriched Uranium if they felt that bombing this vehicle would delay Iran's Nuclear plans by some significant aount of time.\n\nNote that when Israel launched an attack in Iraq's Nuclear plant (condemned by the world at the time) they made sure to do so when they knew there would be minimal casualties on the ground.

How can I get very rich quickly and easily?

29 year old father of three who lives paycheck to paycheck in Oklahoma.

Send me $1,000 and I'll get back to you (just kidding). There are no successful get rich quick schemes. What works for one person will not work for most others. The best and most successful way to get rich is through a successful budget plan, realistic and thoughtful goals, hard work, diversification and sacrifice. At the age of 29 you should first learn to save some between those paychecks. Find out what you spend your money on and spend less of it. Do not use credit except for home mortgage, and prepare for regular maintenance. Once you are able to save you will be able to invest in inovative minimal risk investments that will grow over time. These are and always will be the only sure fire road to wealth.

Do you think you have scientific proof of evolution? I know someone who will pay you if you really do!?

Ok, so you think that evolution is true. You think it's scientific. Let me tell you, it's so wrong! You've probably never heard of Kent Hovind, but he's a creationist who can prove that evolution is wrong. He has put up a challenge that if you can give him scientific proof that evolution is true, then he'll pay you $250,000! I'm serious! \n\nCheck this website: http://www.drdino.com/articles.php?spec=67\n\n(He has had this challenge for at least 10 years, and still no one has found scientific proof for evolution!)\n\nSo do you really think there is evidence for evolution???

I happen to agree that evolution may not be the way god chose to create the world. There must be an intelligent designer - the more I learn science the more I see that must be true. I've watched dr dinos vids and as a scientist I see a lot of cool stuff, but also a bunch of flaws - I loved his work on dinosaurs though.\nThe only scientific evidence for evolution that really leaves me hanging is radioisotope degradation (I can see around C14, but what about the others)\nAnyone want to explain a way around that...I'd be interested!

if my credit is bad how do i get a loan to get on the right track and pay all my debts?

If you have past due accounts with collection agencies your best bet is to try and settle the debt with them for a portion of what you owe. Your credit report will reflect the account as a paid settlement. If you have medical bills you should make a payment to them every month, even if it is only ten dollars. Most hospitals and doctors offices will not send your account to collections if you are still making small payments each month. If you owe a credit card company they usually agree to drop interest charges or late payments in return for a lump sum payment to pay off your account. If you still want a loan to pay your debts you should consider a secured loan from a bank or credit union. They use your house or automobile as collateral until you pay off the loan. Your other choice is to have a credit worthy friend or relative who has good credit co-sign the loan with you. The only down side is that if you are late making loan payments or stop paying on it the co-signer gets his or her credit hurt as well as yours.
