anyone here listen to jason mraz? i think he is one of the best new artist out there (new as in he's only been on mainstream radio for a couple years). his new album, "mr. a-z," is excellent and he definitely avoided the sophomore slump. i also love his first album, "waiting for my rocket to come." big mraz fan... there's also other cds that can be bought if you check out his online store, which is in the source(s) list, but they took off "jason mraz live", a cd i bought a couple months back, one of his early recordings. i love that album - doesn't feel commercial, its a live performance without the screaming fans that you'll find in his "tonight not again" album (not that i particularly minded that - great songs on it), and i absolutely love the "rand macnally" track which, my guess is, the precursor to his hit "the remedy". you can also find mraz singing "good old fashioned lover boy" on the new queen tribute album. "killer queen" i believe its called. looking forward to his next album!

how abs works? there is a computer that can tell, for each wheel, the speed the wheel is spinning, and also the rate at which the wheel is decellerating. the computer also controls a set of valves that regulate the brake fluid pressure to each tire. when the brakes are engaged, the computer monitors the wheels, and if any wheel begins to lock up, the computer releases the brakes on that wheel a little, until it speeds back up slightly, and the process repeats until all four wheels have stopped.

why did they say men are from mars and women are from venus? i really dont know the real meaning of that saying other than the fact that venus is a goddess and mars is a god, i think the main reason was a marketing decision. the book which coined the expression was originally titled: "the women are from venus, the men are from uranus" but then again, they thought it might be subject to some juvenile pranks. so they switched to mars. which is closer to earth, but not as close to the point as uranus.

what is the quantum time-travel theory? causality prevents information from traveling "backward" in time, and is the most sacred tenant in physics. relativistic time-dialiation (above) is certainly interesting, but there is no time-travel theory (quantum or otherwise) that won't be met with anything but snide remarks by a real physicist.

how are the mets gonna do in 2006? although it's no guarantee, it looks like the mets have a great shot at winning the nl east in 2006. the 2005 standings: atlanta: 90-72 philly: 88-74 mets: 83-79 florida: 83-79 wash: 81-81 now, washington performed well above what was expected of them, as they gave up 30 more runs than they scored. florida has traded all of their talent for prospects. therefore, those 2 teams are likely not going to win the division. atlanta lost their leadoff batter and sparkplug rafael furcal and replaced him with edgar renteria, who was great two years ago but does not provide the same offensive or defensive weapons that furcal does. atlanta also got a monster year out of andruw jones, who likely will not repeat that performance. also, the braves lost their closer, kyle farnsworth, to the yankees and will likely go with chris reitsma, who was good but not great last year in limited duty. however, the young players on the braves roster such as jeff francoeur, adam laroche, and ryan langerhans should develop further. also, a full season of former mvp chipper jones would be helpful. that leaves the braves with a good chance to win 90 games again. the phillies traded jim thome to the white sox for aaron rowand, which improves their team even though i feel they should have gotten more for thome. with a shot at first base for a full season, ryan howard should put up some incredible numbers. chase utley, their 2nd baseman, should also leap to stardom this year. however, the phillies other big star, bobby abreu, wants to be traded, and that most likely means that the phils will not get full value for him. lastly, they lost their elite closer, billy wagner, to the mets. tom gordon, though he's old, should be a serviceable replacement, but will not be as lights-out as wagner. unless brett myers becomes consistent and shows he can be an ace, the phillies pitching staff is comprised basically of a #2 starter, 3 #3 starters and a #4. many teams would be happy with that pitching staff, but it doesn't win the division for you. that leaves the mets. the mets record last year was worse than it should have been, as they scored many more runs than they gave up. trading for carlos delgado to replace the worst 1b positional output in the majors will be a big boost. signing wagner to close instead of the shaky braden looper will help a lot as well, as looper blew 8 of 36 save chances. add in the continued development of david wright, who exploded at the end of last season, and jose reyes, as well as a bounceback year for center fielder carlos beltran, and the mets look very good up and down. paul lo duca should provide similar numbers to last year's fading mike piazza, but should also stay healthy, as the mets backup, ramon castro, is solid and should play every fourth game or so. the mike cameron-xavier nady trade made a lot of people say "huh?", but it's actually good for the mets, as victor diaz has proven himself worthy of a shot to play in right field every day. if jae seo gets a chance to start for the full season and performs like he did at the end of last season, he will be a solid #2 pitcher. problems could include the aging of tom glavine and steve trachsel, the inconsistency of kris benson, and the lack of bullpen depth. i'm not convinced that uber-gm omar minaya won't get his team more help in the bullpen, with rumors abound that the mets wish to sign danys baez, the devil rays all-star closer, to set up for wagner. all in all, this mets team could win 100 games and take the nl east easily.

song lyrics or composer to "elvis is alive and playing santa at sears"...? i heard a song on the radio last week and i'm almost sure the name of it was "elvis is alive and playing santa at sears".. i wanted to know who sang or wrote the song and the lyrics .. i can't seem to find anything on the internet.. can you help? this may not be the song you were thinking of, but there is a song called "there's a santa who looks a lot like elvis," which is sung to the tune of "it's beginning to look a lot like christmas" and speaks of a santa at k-mart with blue suede shoes, and it is on the album "more twisted christmas" by bob rivers. hope i helped!

what do the eagles need to improve on in the offseason? the philadelphia eagles have had an extremly dissapointing season. what do they need to improve on and can you put all the blame on terrible owens? you cant blame mcnaab becaus eit takes a true man to play when injured. the eagles need to find a consistent wr in the draft. perhaps sinorice moss, the younger brother of santana moss would help. their defense also needs some help. i don't know what happened to them, but next year they shouldn't be all that bad. as for mcnabb, i'm sick of all this pressure being thrown on him by both owens and the media. as long as he stays healthy, the eagles could be a threat--provided andy reid keeps the offense balanced. as for owens, good luck finding a new team.

what is the smell after death? the smell of death. there's nothing else like it. and it's the hardest thing to deal with, especially when you make a living cleaning up after death. marshall mulloy, the owner of paul davis restoration in the philadelphia suburbs knows the smell well. "it's hard to cope with death and it's a depressing thing to have to go in after a suicide or homicide or even a natural death," he says. "the odor of the aftermath is something you don't forget." mulloy says his company has cleaned just about everything, including vehicles. "i've even done cars that were totaled after a deer went through the windshield," he says. "we've had guys that shot themselves in the head in their car and have cleaned it up for auction." http://www.officer.com/article/article.jsp?sitesection=18&id=26242

the main substrate for the secretion of ammonia in the kidney? the urea (or the krebs-hensliet) cycle outlines the mechanism by which ammonia is finally produced in the final reaction (involving arginine, if i am right) ammonia excretion can also be regarded as excretion of nitrogen from different intermediates in the body. all of these n containing intermediates converge into the tca cycle from where they become amino acids through enzymes known as deaminases or transminases. these amino acids converge to a common amino acid (alanine in humans, if i recollect well) which then travels to kidney and initiates the urea cycle to finally result in the production of ammonia

what is the worlds best mountain bike? i'm partial to turner frames. check out the 5 spot for an all around trail bike, the 6 pack if you want more travel for aggressive riding, or the flux for a lightweight trail bike that can hold its own on the race course. turners are known for a great balanced ride feel, stiff/solid construction, and great customer service. note: turner recently changed the design of the suspension linkage on all their bikes. reviews indicate no significant change to how the bikes ride, but if this is the sort of thing you care about, read through the reviews at mtbr.com.

how can i safely open a geode? i have gotten some unopened geodes for my dad for christmas. i want to include some instructions on how to safely crack them open while creating as few pieces as possible. they will vary in size from 3 - 5" across. one way to open a geode -- to reveal the crystals -- is with a chisel and hammer. score the geode completely around the outside where you want it to crack -- usually in two equal halves. keep going until it cracks and breaks apart. this will almost always work and won't damage the crystals.

as someone who knows nothing about networking, how do i network my pcs with a wireless router? i have a netgear wireless router that all the pcs in my house use to gain access to the internet, but i have absolutely no idea how i can network the computers so that files can be shared between them. that's assuming the main drive is labled c. this also only works for a windows computer. what you failed to mention is how she will access information that has been set to be shared. first off, you want to set a password when your sharing a folder or drive. you should see a prompt when your setting share settings. to access a computer that has a shared drive, simply go to network neighborhood, find the computer by clicking on it, and you should be prompted to enter the password you earlier gave, then you have access to the files, you can drag/drop and even save files to other computers.

what is the best way to stop smoking?? i have smoked for 20 years & need to stop...? i myself am trying to quit, as of the day after christmas. you'd think seeing my mom die from lung cancer when i was 29 years old would have been motivation enough. it is sooo hard, especially around your "triggers". for me, it's at home after work. my dad told me when he quit he would go for a walk or take a drink of water. i have tried them as well. i have not had luck with the patch nor the gum. i am trying cold turkey again. i have a straw i "inhale" at home .. just a straw. it seems to be working. then i think about how gross it is and why i don't want to do it anymore. there's a great commercial out there that shows a dr saying he doesn't think he can operate and then a smoker saying i dont' think i can quit. i think the clincher for me is that my best friends kids are 13 and 14 and are both smoking. i was a little bit younger than that so i am trying to be a good example to them. i have to quit. i wish you success in the new year to quit smoking.

what can't kick your left leg? your left foot.

did tookie get a fair deal? yes. he murdered four people in cold blood. volumes of evidence were presented proving his guilt. even the 9th federal circuit court of appeals, proven to be the most liberal, anti-death-penalty court in the nation, could not find sufficient cause to nullify the verdict. he received his fair trial, his fair appeals process. he continuously professed his innocence to delay (for nearly 30 years) his sentence, nothing more. he capitalized on the fact that american society, with it's extremely short attention span, would forget the horrific crimes he committed. he gambled on the possibility that we would forget what he did, become desensitized to it, and dismiss the jury's decision overly harsh. some arguing in his defense tried to portray the jury as a bunch of racist white rich folks intent on "murdering another innocent black man" (it wasn't all-white, check the record). fortunately, all of the right people saw through his charade, and ended his shennanigans, permanently.

what is a keyloid and is it cancerous? a keyloid is a scar that has gone wild... it is usually caused by a bad wound on your body... i had one on my ear from a piercing and i have known other people to get them after they have had an surgery. mine looks like a peanut hanging off my ear but the ones on the skin look like raise skin. no it is not cancerous and can be treated if you see a doctor with injections or removal all together

which should i join, the navy or the air force? please give specific details and reasons why i should join either of them. thanks. being a navy wife for 30 years, i would say the air force. the brances go by reading levels. air force, navy, marine, army are the levels. then you want the pay. same levels. education, medical, dental is offered by all branches no difference. you want to get a job that pays good and one that advancement is in. it is all about time in and money. when the recuritor tells you you will be getting your medical "free" that used to make me laugh, because it comes out of your taxes you are paying for it. not the president. no there is no money transpired, but you are still paying for it. if you want to go into the service, go to college first, go in as an officer not a civilian. money money money. that is what you want to get. your rate and rank has to go up.you will always be tested to achive a better rate. now, it is a big commetment. you are going to get married to the service. there is no way out until your tour is up and then they ask you if you want to stay in. will you be educated enough from the military to go out into the world and get a good paying job? suppose you fall in love and get married, you cannot live on base unless you are a certain rate. base living is very nice, but you are not making a lot of money. so now you have to live off base. rent is high. so no marriage until your first tour is up get your education and your money. better still, go to college before you go into any branch of the service. please go to college first.

do you love soccer? yeah. soccer is awesome!!

what is python 1.5, and can i delete it from my computer? python is a computer language, much like basic or c or cobol is a language. it's an interpretive language, and so often when you install other software, python is installed with it. perhaps some program that you installed also installed python. several bittorrent programs were written in python. it's an open source language, so consider what programs you have installed recently. can you delete it? most likely. but there's a good chance that something won't run - probably just a software package that you picked up along the way. but if something stops running, you can always re-install python. see http://www.python.org

what are good sound reasons for getting a divorce? my father told me to set what would make me divorce my husband and just deal with whatever did not fall in those reasons. watch for the red flags prior to marriage. but when in love, we often miss the red flags, so if that happens, here are what i consider serious and justifiable grounds: adultery -- many people can't move past this. it's a physical betrayal, but also tears at you emotionally. i personally think it's one of the most difficult ones to resolve. abuse -- physical or verbal. verbal often gets overlooked, but it's namecalling, screaming at you rather than holding a normal conversation, talked down to, and did i mention yelling and screaming? if you ask the person a normal question, like "do you have any change for the toll?" and they start screaming that "all you do is harp about money," you've got a problem. physical is obvious, but don't overlook punching walls, breaking dishes, etc. watch out for signs of roughness or meanness to your children and pets too. control freaks: this is also a form of abuse, but these men want to know your every move, monitor your phone calls, read your email and voice mails, won't let you go to the mall alone, etc. insist that if you get a new hairdo or buy a new dress, it must be because you're cheating with someone. this is usually disguised as jealousy which women may think lattering -- at first. don't be fooled. control freaks also don't want you to hold a job or have any money of your own. you must beg for an "allowance." financial: there are a lot of men who live off women. they have jobs when you meet them. then, something happens, and it's always the company or bosses fault. they tell you they're out job hunting, but nothing is happening. next comes laying around on the couch all day, sleeping, watching tv or guzzling beer. weeks turn into months and it's just you working. or, the person flits from job to job and can't hold a job. this man will plunge you right into financial ruin and guess what -- you can't get them out of the house all that easy, if it happens to be your house and not a joint home. keep an eye out that they don't dip into your wallet. a dollar or two missing, here and there, usually becomes much more. you'll get behind on bills, your credit will suffer. don't stand for this. addictive behavior: drugs, alchoholism, gambling. will cause you nothing but stress, pain and financial hardship. don't try to be the hero and "help" the person out of despair. unless you are rich enough to get them into very good rehab, like the movie stars do, it probably won't work. addicts can only be helped if they want to be and you'll be surprised how many enjoy the behavior and have no desire to give it up. i've seen men go to aa or a counseling session, come right out and stop at a bar. it is almost a joke with them. you may keep gamblers out of casinos, but they'll spend a whole paycheck on lottery tickets or the football pool. illegal behavior: selling drugs, stealing, pulls insurance scams, (or any scams), etc., run. he'll eventually get caught and you might get implicated too! do you want his record to become yours? good luck.

when your boyfriend and you don't talk much yet how do you figure out how he feels about you.? i'm generally a quiet person, and i was very quiet around my now-girlfriend when i first met her. i think that likely drove her crazy... because she couldn't tell how i felt about her. after we hooked up and started seeing each other more often, my feelings just came through. i couldn't hold them to myself. there was a need to share them with her that i just couldn't imagine keeping inside. but that's me - and not everyone is the same. some people are emotionally sheltered and prefer to keep their feelings hidden away. body language, gestures, and general mood and disposition toward you can give you clues as to how your significant other really feels. the question you need to ask, when you're finding yourself actively looking for attention like this, is whether or not you can be happy in the long term under these circumstances. people are tough to change, and if this is something you need, and your significant other is having a hard time dealing with that... you may need to re-evaluate your situation, or have a long and frank discussion with them regarding this.

what is web 2.0? hi !!! "the term "web 2.0" refers to what some people see as a second phase of development of the world wide web, including its architecture and its applications. as used by its proponents, the phrase allegedly refers to one or more of the following: > a transition of websites from isolated information silos to sources of content and functionality, thus becoming a computing platform serving web applications to end users > a social phenomenon referring to an approach to creating and distributing web content itself, characterised by open communication, decentralization of authority, freedom to share and re-use, and "the market as a conversation" > a more organized and categorized content, with a far more developed deeplinking web architecture. > a shift in economic value of the web, up past a trillion dollars surpassing that of the dot com boom of the late 1990s." go through the full article here >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/web_2.0 this article will be of interest "what is web 2.0 -by tim o'reilly" http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/oreilly/tim/news/2005/09/30/what-is-web-20.html >>> naveen kumar

over hundreds of years, the glass in glass windows sinks down to the bottem. so is glass a liquid or a solid? this is pretty much a question of the definition you are using. in a strict definition, conventional solids have a crystalline structure. under this definition, glass is a supercooled, highly viscous liquid rather than a conventional (crystalline) solid. in many ways, glass acts like a solid. using that behaviour as a criterion, glass is a solid.

where did the phrase "this too shall pass" originate? "this too shall pass" is the title of a poem by helen steiner rice. the almost identical phrase: "and this, too, shall pass away" has been traced to an abraham lincoln speech. it could just be a deliberate reference to the bible: "heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away." (matthew 24:35 and elsewhere). apparently it was old persian proverb and a hebrew parable: ... written three hebrew letters on the gold band: gimel, zayin, yud, which began the words "gam zeh ya'avor" -- "this too shall pass."

has anyone ever read the book "to kill a mockingbird?"? yes. to kill a mockingbird is a 1960 novel by harper lee, which won the pulitzer prize for fiction in 1961. it was made into an academy award-winning motion picture starring gregory peck by director robert mulligan in 1962. a coming-of-age story, it is told from the point of view of jean louise "scout" finch, the young daughter of atticus finch, an educated lawyer in maycomb, alabama, a small town in the deep south of the united states. she is accompanied by her brother jem and their mutual friend dill. truman capote was a lifelong friend of childhood neighbor lee, and allegedly was the inspiration for dill's character in her best-seller. capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of her novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. at least one person—pearl kazin bell, an editor at harper's— has gone on record as believing his assertions were true. the title of the book is taken from atticus's advice to his children about firing their air rifles at birds: "shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". the blue jay is a very common bird, and is often perceived as a bully and a pest, whereas mockingbirds do nothing but "sing their hearts out for us". metaphorically, several of the book's characters can be seen as "mockingbirds", attacked despite doing nothing but good. the mockingbird represents innocence, and to kill one is to metaphorically kill innocence. note that the protagonists are also named after birds: tom robinson and the finch family. however, "finch" was also lee's mother's maiden name. harper lee stated, "to get the ideas for the book i used recent events in my time like the scottsboro trials." (harper lee, book review, 1964) the events of this book's publication and the following film are also subjects of the 2005 film capote starring phillip seymour hoffman as truman capote and catherine keener as harper lee. it is also an excellent film and will likely be considered in one category or another for an academy award.

what is the meaning of immanuel? immanuel means "god with us." it was used in the biblical prophets to predict the coming of jesus (isaiah 7 and 8) and is referred to in matthew 1, when the angel gabrial announces the birth of jesus to joseph. here's an excerpt from matthew: this is how the birth of jesus christ came about: his mother mary was pledged to be married to joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the holy spirit. because joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. but after he had considered this, an angel of the lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "joseph son of david, do not be afraid to take mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the holy spirit. she will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name jesus,[c] because he will save his people from their sins." all this took place to fulfill what the lord had said through the prophet: "the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him immanuel"[d]—which means, "god with us." when joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the lord had commanded him and took mary home as his wife. but he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. and he gave him the name jesus.

do you generally care about other people, or simply live life for yourself? relationships with others enrich one's own life. while living for one's self can be rewarding in a more immediate sense, helping others give a sense of gratification that can't be matched by egoistic tendencies.

does anybody know what program allows you to use the satellite to discover another places? i already have "google earth" but i cannot see some places. do you know any other program? if so, where can i download it. thanks a lot. i would say that at this time google earth is pretty much as good as it gets. it is an amazing program. any other program would probably utilize the same satellite imagery.

what are best general purpose binoculars for astronomy? it depends. just about any binoculars provide good view. make certain you stay away from very strong magnifications, otherwise you will need a tripod to keep them steady and may get dizzy without it. the larger magnifications also limit your field of view. i have some 8x42 nikons that are great. just in case you are not aware: the first number given in the binocular is the magnification. stick with 7 or 8. the 10s you will need the stabilization electronics or a mono/tripod. the second number provides information on how much light comes through the lens. for example...if you were to compare the same brand and model with the exception of the number difference: 8x25 vs 8x42: the 8x25 will provide the same size image but the 8x42 will provide a brighter image. if you are thinking about purchasing online...before you do find a camera store or a sporting goods store to see how they feel and get a better feel for what you really want. hope that helps...happy star viewing! also another possible source for help would be to see if there is a local star party group in your area. drop by one night; it can be fun to meet some experienced viewers with telescopes already setup as well as some people who have the really large expensive scopes which you may not be able to afford.

what search engine would you use to gather information? there are many search engines available for your use. yahoo! search - http://search.yahoo.com google search - http://www.google.com msn search - http://search.msn.com aol search - http://search.aol.com (same as google) there is one comprehensive guide for the information http://www.about.com if you want to know how certain things work use http://www.howstuffworks.com just to be funny.. there is one search engine which call itself the "mother of all search engines". as per the motto that search engine is called mama. http://www.mama.com if you want to search for the opinion of people about certain subjects visit http://www.technorati.com or http://www.feedster.com

is there anything one can do to "spice" up what appears to be a dull relationship (marriage)? we love each other, but, i don't know... it seems to have lost that magic after 14 years. we are more roommates now. here's a hint: men like women to show initiative with romance and eroticsm--too often in relationships it's considered the "man's job" to get things moving! this will sound corny, but give it a shot: first, if you've got kids, send them to the grandparents for the night in advance without him knowing (say on a friday). next, turn off all the lights in the house and place scented candles in the bedroom and run a hot bubble bath just before he normally arives home. have some wine and two wine glasses at the ready on the coffee table, and rose petals on the floor leading a trail to the bedroom--or whereever you're most memorable encounter that you can remember occurred. personally, i like david sanborn or some other smooth jazz playing in the background. music is important to setting the mood, and if you've got cable or a dish, you can tune it to the music of your choice. just before he gets home, slip into a nice satin & lace nightie and cover it with a heavy robe. when he gets to the door, be there waiting to flash him and let him know what you've got in store for the evening. not in a crude way, mind you. most importantly, take your time...don't rush. the anticipation of that which is to come will be as intense as the act itself. hope that helps! peace, jayz

what's it like, being in a relationship? anyone willing to share their experiences? not to complicate things or anything but it really depends on how each persons acts within a relationship. as long as each person asks like themselves and is not trying to put on an act to ipress the other person it can be great. seeing that each one of you accept one another for who you are. on the other side if you feel like you have to be soembody you are not simply to get the other person to like you then the relationship is doomed to fail, because you will eventually get tired of not being yourself. the relationship will be horrible. being in a relationship can be the greatest thing ever. all you have to do is comunicate and be yourself and you will be happy

how are materials exchanged through capillaries? capillaries are thin-walled blood vessels in which gas exchange occurs. in the capillary, the wall is only one cell layer thick. capillaries are concentrated into capillary beds. some capillaries have small pores between the cells of the capillary wall, allowing materials to flow in and out of capillaries as well as the passage of white blood cells. nutrients, wastes, and hormones are exchanged across the thin walls of capillaries. capillaries are microscopic in size, although blushing is one manifestation of blood flow into capillaries. control of blood flow into capillary beds is done by nerve-controlled sphincters. changes in blood pressure, velocity, and the area of the arteries, capillaries, and veins of the circulatory system. image from purves et al., life: the science of biology, 4th edition, by sinauer associates (www.sinauer.com) and wh freeman (www.whfreeman.com), used with permission. the circulatory system functions in the delivery of oxygen, nutrient molecules, and hormones and the removal of carbon dioxide, ammonia and other metabolic wastes. capillaries are the points of exchange between the blood and surrounding tissues. materials cross in and out of the capillaries by passing through or between the cells that line the capillary.

as a freshmen starting college, is it better to go away for school or stay home in this day and age? it is my personal opionion and personal observation that people who separate themselves from their parents at an early age do better in the long run. people who stayed home never grew up emotionally or became financially independant. parents tend to enable kids staying kids for as long as personal. i am being honest about this knowing my kids will be ready to leave home soon enough and i will not want to see them go.

where does berilum come from? roito.. i'm no scientist, but the way i see it, since so many of our other elements have been hypothesized to be formed in a solar furnace, i'd take berilium to be no exception. it's probably just left over from the nebula that produced our solar system. however, astral bodies that collide with the earth also carry with them certain chemicals, so the source of berilium on this planet can also be attributed to some degree to those, as well. here's a neat factoid for ye.. protein strains that are slammed into the earth at those fantastic speeds known to meteors, upon impact, form amino acids... if i can recall that episode of nova i saw on m'local pbs station correctly. ;)

what percent of americans celebrate christmas? this war on christmas is ridiculous- what percent of americans celebrate this holiday? i do- and i am proud to :-) great question, and i am with you...here are some stats based on a 2003 fox news national poll conducted december 3-4 by opinion dynamics corporation. polling was conducted by telephone december 3-4, 2003 in the evenings. the sample is 900 registered voters nationwide with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points. 1. which of these late december holidays do you celebrate? (multiple responses allowed) 1. christmas - 96% 2. hanukkah - 5% 3. kwanzaa - 2% 4. (other/refused) - 1% 5. (none) - 1% so, i say if the majority celebrates it...why let the minority get us down...

what's your favorite programming language? well, i just fell in love with ruby, when i began to learn it a week ago... i've been programming for 15 years and had been seriously hoping to make my own language one of these days, because all the languages i was used to had severe limitations at every turn. i don't know how to explain all the reasons why i hate conventional languages, but let it suffice to say that ruby lets you do virtually anything you want to do; it supports a wide variety of programming styles, and can do many things that are difficult or impossible in other languages, such as metaprogramming (the possibilities with this seem endless), arbitrarily changing existing classes (including built-in classes), coroutines (although you'll have to implement them yourself, since ruby only has continuations built in), lightweight (non-os) threads, closures, multiple inheritance (well, not exactly, but ruby's "mixins" are just as good), "freezing" objects, and on and on. also, after reading through the online book programming ruby, i got the feeling that the designer and developer ("matz") really knew what he was doing. the parts of the language fit together well and on the whole, the language is well rounded, with a feature for everyone. finally, ruby is easy to play with, because (1) you don't have do define a class and a method and write a ton of import/include/using statements (as in java/c#/c++) -- code at the top level automatically runs (in a hidden method called "main", i think.) (2) you get the interactive interpreter called irb, with which you can type statements and get immediate results. multi-line statements (such as method and class definitions) are also allowed. the one big problem with ruby is that it is dynamically typed and interpreted, and thus very slow, although i've heard it is not much slower than python or perl. my second favorite language is c# 2.0, which has most of the features i would want in a statically-typed language. (although there's certainly enough missing that i still wish i had time to develop my own language.)

switch to mac? i've had to have my computer cleaned of viruses twice this year. is mac the answer? antivirus software is the answer. there are several free programs (avg and avast are two examples) that can help protect you from viruses. keep them up-to-date, and you should have no worries. macs are the target of viruses as well, though admitedly fewer than windows systems. also, be a "safe surfer"--don't visit websites of questionable reputation, and don't open every attachment your friends send you, as it may have been a virus that sent it in the first place!
