i keep getting the "network cable unplugged" error with windows xp!? 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. if 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. in 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. the 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. for more information, see the article on ehternet on howstuffworks.com http://computer.howstuffworks.com/ethernet.htm

what if person w/ legal custody dont give permission for me to claim dep.even though he lived w/ me for 1 yr.? they don't have to. if you have a divorce decree that gives you rights to claim a dependant (sometimes annually or every other year, or not at all) then the custodial parent must honor that. in fact you can file with the deduction by providing copies of the signature page and the tax portion of the decree. if you do not have a divorce decree stating you have rights to claim....you have no right to claim without the permission of the custodial parent who will have to provide form 8332. *** i'll qualify that, by saying the other person has legal custody, that is an indication that the child lived with the custodial parent as well for half or more of the year and that that parent paid for at least half of the support of said child...or that the parent has sole custody of the child....that all being true...you cannot claim the child without permission of the custodial parent. check out the 2nd link for all the rules regarding dependants.

as usual disgusting kids with too much time on their hands are intruding on a logical site.? 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. there's also a "report abuse" button under each poster's name, so you can try that if you really care that much.

why do some women have rape fantasies? 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... "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. rape 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." furthermore, 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."

how does the iraq war compare to the vietnam war? you just can't compare the iraq war to the vietnam war, those that say they are similar are ignorant. we went to vietnam for little reason and in the iraq war we had our reasons to attack. there were far more people killed in vietnam then there have been in the iraq war now and there will ever be. people want to be free in iraq and that was not true in vietnam.

which is better for your body: orange or milk? people's digestive system is not actually set up to process milk very well. although you get a good dose of calcium and vitamin d from milk, you can get these things from other sources, without running your system down. milk and milk products can enhance allergies and intolerances to food and other outside stimuli, and increase mucus production. i don't know if orange juice is 'better' per se, because the vitamins it provides are completely different. i can say your body processes it easier, it gives you a bunch of vitamins, if the juice doesn't have sugary additives it isn't as fattening, and it doesn't have all the nasty side effects that milk can have, (whether you notice them or not... in fact you probably wouldn't notice them unless you cut milk out of your diet and then tried putting it back in). so i guess my vote is orange juice.

how do fire act in 'zero gravity'? if you start a fire in zero gravity then (as long as it is not against the wall of the space craft) it will burn as a sphere. the fire needs oxygen so will expand, however, as it expands more heat is lost, and the fire may go out. so it would be a hot, glowing sphere that expands and then goes out. of course if it is contact with the wall or something then the nature of the fire depend on the fuels available, etc.

does god exist? why? difficult to say. there are many possibilities, none really holding an edge to the next. it is certainly possible that there exists a supreme god as found in religions such as christianity, islam, and judaism. it is also possible that there are numerous gods, such as those found in hinduism. it is also quite possible that no supernatural beings exist. this debate will rage on for years to come, but don't expect a clear resolution any time soon.

why space has exactly three dimensions and not more or less ? space might have more than three dimensions; we don't know. edwin abbott wrote a very famous book called "flatland" about people who were confined to life in a two-dimemsional world, and what it was like to live there. it was part geometry, part philosophy about the nature of the universe, and part statement about the social behavior of humans. it's excellent and you can read the whole thing online at the link below.

there are traces of joint stars in milky way galaxy. are there any traces of joint planets ever detected? yes -- in fact you are living on one. the earth and moon is quite unusual in being relatively the same size to earth other compared to other moons around other planets in the solar system. in that respect you can consider the earth and moon as being twin planets. as to how often this happens outside the solar system, you would probably have to wait a few years as we have only just started to be able to detect planets around nearby stars but currently have no real means of actually observing them.

should people stay at a job where the supervisors make you stand up for long periods of time? 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

what is the best medication to fight multiple sclerosis? 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. i was diagnosed in 1999. i didn't start taking medications until 2004 (had a bit of denial there)... i got a flare-up that forced me to think harder about my future (and a great fiance to boot!). a 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... then 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. i 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. i 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). result? 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. now, 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. good luck to you!

why is the sky blue? 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.

what is the slowest possible internet speed? to the best of my knowledge, there's no theoretical bottom limit to the speed of an internet connection, although individual programs may give up after a period of time, and assume that the message they were trying to send has been lost in transit. to illustrate this, i've linked the (as far as i know, unused) proposal for transmitting ip packets (one of the fundamental units of data on the internet) via trained pigeons. while the attached proposal is certainly geek-humor, i hope it illustrates my point - as slow as your net is, it could always get even slower.

why is my favorite color red? why is mine purple?

has an organ been cloned as of yet? 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?! does 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. it 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. the 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).

use ur heart or brain?? i too am in love and struggle with this same question. i can offer my solution. use both. enjoy the endorphine rush of the feeling of love ( which is the heart so to speak.) but realize why you ask the question. there is obviously a reason for your aprehension of completely letting go. use your brain and decide to what degree you should allow your heart to pilot your emotions then deal with this person as so you conclude. do not sell yourself short. could the problem be one that you should resolve within yourself or is there an actual problem?

how to link an access database to a c++ application? there are a variety of ways to connect to an access database from within a c++ app. the oldest and most widely compatible is odbc. it's not as fully featured as some other technologies, but it's the standard minimum compliance of pretty much everything. if you're running on windows, i'd suggest using ado or ado.net. they're virtually the same interface, ado.net has some features that ado doesn't have, but i'm not sure it's completely compatible with c++.

why would there be a difference in content from the same site with different browsers? 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 posting 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.

should golf be called a sport or a game? sport! golf requires physical skill, which is the definition of "sport". checkers is a "game", which requires no physical skill. and for those who don't think golf requires physical skill, go try to hit a ball longer than 180 yards to a landing area no wider than 20 yards sometime. most would be lucky to get 1 in 10 in the zone.

who invented football? name, date walter camp, 1879

why is marijuana illegal and alcohol still legal? 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.

modern education? 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. why would a highly qualified mathematician want to teach? yet that's what we say we want in our public schools. why would a highly qualified scientist want to teach? yet that's what we say we want in our public schools. we 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? this is only one point, and it is this. we're not willing to pay for what we want.

would you rather be with? 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. so, it pays to have someone who loves u and cares deeply but with limited means than a loveless marriage that will only make u do two things, cheat, or leave.

this one is really a tough one. can you solve this one? a "wise king" devised a contest to see who would receive the princess hand in marriage. the 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. the 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). one 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!

how do you choose the best math algorithm to solve a problem? 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.

how big is the moon? how big is the moon? the moon is about 2,000 miles across. how far is it from earth to the moon? it is about 250,000 miles from earth to the moon. how old is the moon? the moon is the same age as the earth and the rest of the solar system — about 4.5 billion years. our solar system was all formed at that time. how did the moon form? we think that the moon and earth formed at about the same time, back when our whole solar system was formed. earth was forming from many chunks of rock and icy material. possibly a big chunk hit the new earth and knocked loose a big piece, which became the moon. how hot and cold does it get on the moon? as you may have learned, the moon doesn't have any air around it. the air that surrounds our earth acts as a nice blanket to keep us warm and comfy! but the moon, since it doesn't have this blanket, gets much colder than the earth — and much hotter than the earth. on the side of the moon that the sun is shining on, the temperature reaches 260°fahrenheit! that is hotter than boiling. on the dark side of the moon, it gets very cold, -280° fahrenheit. what is the surface of the moon like? the surface of the moon has about two inches of dust. much of this dust has fallen to the moon from the spaces between the planets over the last several billions years. it probably feels pretty soft. you can see this in some pictures taken by the astronauts of their footprints on the moon. how many holes are in the moon? we call those holes "craters." they are the places where many years ago meteors hit the surface of the moon and put dents into it. there are thousands of big craters, but even more little ones. there are probably millions of little craters on the moon! some are only an inch or so across. why does the moon have big rocks? the moon is made up of various kinds of rocks. these rocks are fairly similar to the rocks on earth. but on earth, we have wind and rain that help wear the rocks down into sand and dirt. there is no air or wind on the moon, so the rocks don't get worn down as they do on the earth. how many moons are there all together? earth has only one moon. if you count all the moons around all the planets in our solar system, there are 61 (earth has one, mars has two, jupiter has 16, saturn has 18, uranus has 15, neptune has 8, and pluto has one). there may be more that we haven't discovered yet! why does the moon change its shape (as in full, half, and quarter moon)? the bright part of the moon is the part that the sun is shining on. this is like daytime on earth. the dark part is in shadow, like night on earth. now the moon goes around the earth once every 29 days (approximately). at new moon, the moon and the sun are on the same side of earth. we see the part of the moon that is in shadow, so the moon is dark. then the moon moves around in its orbit. at first quarter, it has gone one-fourth of the way around earth. now we can see part of the moon that is sunlit, but part still in shadow. note that if the sun is setting in the west, the bright part of the moon is on the side toward the sun and the dark part is away. about a week later, the moon has moved halfway around its orbit. now it is on the opposite side of earth, away from the sun. now we see only the sunlit side — that is the full moon. note that if the sun is setting in the west, the moon is just rising in the east. about a week later, the moon has moved now three-fourths of the way around in its circle around earth. once again only part of the moon is sunlit and part is dark. now you can see the moon in the morning, and note that once again the sunlit side is on the side towards the sun, and the shadow side away. another week and we are back to the new moon. it's easier to demonstrate if you have a ball to represent the moon and a flashlight for the sun. have someone stand several feet away, holding the flashlight so it shines on the bal

what is the best football team? on paper i would say chelsea. they have the best and most expensive players. they bring 20 million dollar subs off the bench. they have dominated premier league. but the best team on paper, and the best players don't always mean the best team as we saw with real madrid the past few years.

where did the dollar go?!? 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. they ending up paying $27, $25 for the room and $2 to the bellhop. that $27 plus the $3 refund is the original $30

when an aeroplane is flying on a place which is facing earthquake, will the plane feel the tremors? unless the quake causes several metres of vertical movement while the aeroplane is flying low, it won't. air distributes replacement rapidly in all directions. for an experiment, light a candle, stretch out your arm so that your fist is a few centimetres from the flame. draw back and strike with your fist back to the original position. the flame will flicker a bit, but most likely won't go out.
