So far how many people died due to HIV AIDS in sub sahara Africa? How many people are also infected with HIV AIDS virus in sub sahara africa? I want also to know, in the whole africa, the first three countries which have more HIV AIDS infected persons & less HIV AIDS infected persons?
Intersetingly, though this may not make scence to you,(do some research if not) No one has ever died of aids in africa. An ex girlfriend of mine has it and is dying, but because aids affects the imune system and thus stops ones body from fighting desease, it is the desease that kills you. For example, you get hiv, a few years later it develops into Aids, then you get a cold, that cold does not go away, and you get neumonia, that neumonia kills you. Therefore most peolpe who die of aids in africa, have thier deaths recorded as either unknown cause or other. this is also because of the stigma attached to aids in africa.

Hi,
I have been looking for this movie for ten years. It could also be a tv movie or even a mini series.
The language was English
I remember some kids (I think three), two of them about the same age, and a third little one, arriving in a camp (they could have been siblings, and orphans just as well). The camp could have been in Australia. There were Asians among the caretakers. There was one mean Asian caretaker and he was allergic to bees. The kids actually caught a bee and tried to get it to bite him when he was under the shower. The little kid thought that some nearby pond was a pool and insisted on swimming in it. When it was raining a lot , he actually does it, and I think the mean Asian guy actually went out wondering if anyone was in there. The little kid eventually drowns. Then there was a funeral (of the little kid) and the older boy is looking at the grave with a priest (old man) or something, and it is raining, and all of a sudden the priest puts his hand between the boy's legs!(So there was child abuse going on there as well...) Now maybe child abuse was the whole point of it all, but I missed parts so is quite surprised to see that happen...
Trust me, I really saw this on TV! Anyone who can help me find it will have my undying gratitude!!

Yeah that is probably it. Can you please explain some more? I still don't get why the kids were taken there?
How many child abusers where in the film.
Why did they do that with the bee????
They tried to get the person stung by a bee because he had been stung before and was allergic. They had been told if he was stung again that he'd probably die. They did this because he was a bully and was thought to be the one abusing one of the boys although it turned out to be someone else.

Yet again, we see how the academics have drummed into his poor little absorbent head all the tools of political, economic, social and technological analysis techniques, whilst at the same time have patronisingly tacked Procurement onto the end as an inconvenient afterthought. You buy something, you process it into something more valuable, you do all your other analysis techniques to work out how desirable it is , and what it costs to manufacture it and merchandise and market it and distribute it, and then you decide what to charge for it, and in doing so remain highly competitive, innovative and profitable. But never lose sight of the first principle - YOU BUY SOMETHING. Doesn't that suggest that Procurement should be much higher up the food chain????? MCIPS.
I am gonna tear my hair out! I seriously cant login, create an account or more importantly create an article on Ishmael Lo. Every time i try it says there is an error of one sort or another. Pease oh pretty please will someone create an article, it is done, and just needs to be cut and pasted. He is a truelly phenomenal artist.
Ismael Lo, originally from the Senegal/Gambie region in Africa, is the Baladeer of africa, often called the African Bob Dylan for his use of harmonica and acoustic guitar. Having lived in both Spain and Africa. He paints sings and acts.
His greatest hit to date is called Dibi dibi Rek.
He is not scared to tackle serious issues in his music, known as Mbalek, in which he discusses topics as varied as HIV/AIDS famine warfare, and the superficial/materialistic attetude of African woman to thier men.
One of the greatest figures of the modern African renaisance. He has recored with artists such as Marian Faithful among others.
The spelling of his name is Ishmael with an : on its side above the e, Lo with a ^ above the O.

According to Wikipedia "Uncyclopedia, "the content-free encyclopedia that anyone can edit,"[1] is a parody of Wikipedia, though Uncyclopedia claims the reverse (and correctly claims that Wikipedia claims the reverse, and vice versa ad infinitum)." But, Uncyclopedia, claims the same thing. How do I know which is the true encyclopedia, and which one is filled with nonsense?
If I'm in a room with doors "A" & "B", with the knowledge that one door leads to eternal paridise, and the other leads down into the dephts of dispair & misery, and a computer with two browsers open, one going to Wikipedia, and one going to Uncyclopedia (both with entries on each door), how do I know which door to take? 199.201.168.100 19:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I once read in some Scottish Statistical Report that when the toll booths operated on both the northbound and southbound carriageways, there were some 10,000 cars fewer returned South than had crossed to the North in the previous year. Given that the bridge was opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1963, that shortfall would amount to some 430,000 cars, and their occupants, up to the present day, not taking account of the increased traffic on the bridge. The question is, where did they all disappear to? As far as I am aware, the population census returns for Scotland, consistently record that the Scottish population has fallen dramatically over that intervening period. Of course nowadays it would seem impossible to measure the difference between the number of cars travelling in both directions as the tolls now operate on the northbound lanes only.

What's the difference between a horse, a donkey, a pony, and a jackass? -- 67.185.129.168 04:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
The difference between a horse and a pony is basically size.Ponies are 14.2 hands(a hand is 4 inches) and under,a horse is anything over.HOWEVER Arabs are sometimes under 14.2 but are always horses.Falabellas are minature horses and are measured in inches,they are the size of large dogs.Dales ponies and Welsh cobs may be a little over 14.2 but they are still ponies.True wild American mustangs may be under 14.2 but they decreased in size through harsh conditions from full sized horses so they are horses.The rule of thumb however is under 14.2 pony,over a horse.There are some differences in temperament and stuff but I won't go into that.The donkey is a totally different animal,but comes from a common ancestor so close the two can interbreed and produce mules,which though sexually capable are infertile.Jackass is an American word for a male donkey(Ass is another word for donkey) The Brits use "donkey stallion"instead.Donkey Kong--well you've beaten me there!Hope this helps...hotclaws**==( 81.136.163.210 09:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC))

The question about the film with the drowning kid above, brought to mind another film. In it, a boy is talked into jumping of (I think) a railway bridge by his older brother and his brother's friend, but when he jumps, a log comes from under the bridge and he lands on it on his back.
He would've drowned if it wasn't for the kids saving him, but he ends up paralyzed in a wheelchair. The rest of the story involves the older brother's feelings of guilt, a doctor who examines the kid for the possibility of a risky operation falling in love with his mother.
I think the older brother may have been played by Brendan Fletcher or Kevin Zegers, but it could be someone else entirely. Has anyone got an idea which film I'm talking about? - Mgm| (talk) 09:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I know that when poland did it money became toilet paper, but I stil don't understand the practical dyanamics of it:
If some government department head wants a castle for an office, why can't he just go down to the federal mint (assuming he has the authority of course) and tell them to print him up a big roll of money? How does that make the price of a soda go up? It seems to me that if everyone had more money, there's no reason for the value of money to drop. Just make a law to make it so you can't charge more for goods just because people have more money.. basically I don't understand why inflation happens, and specifically why the government can't just print up more money to pay off its debt, and just not tell anyone so inflation doesn't go up.
Public knowledge seems to be the problem; in one of the Odyssey books by arthur c clarke, there was a conspiracy to secretly recover the solid-diamond mountain on europa and sell it off slowly on earth.. this gradual increase in the diamond supply of old ladies and collectors would hardly change its monetary value... so why does the gradual increase in money supply change its goods value? If there really wasn't any gold in fort knox - if america secretly used it to pay britain to print a zillion dollars of paper money for the US government's use - and nobody knew about it, would it make any difference?
When looking around wikipedia, instead of seeing a straight answer, I see words like "phenomenon" and vague ideas of gold being money not currency, and "according to some financial theories" .. can somebody just lay it out for me? -- Froth 19:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm no economist (thank God), but is it not the case that all capitalist economies have to maintain a balance between their circulated currency, and their reserves (as in gold bullion or other tradeable currencies)? If some governmental official decides to print loads of paper that cannot be underwritten by an equivalent amount of equity, does not the international tradeable value of the prime currency devalue, as happened in pre-war Germany and post-war Britain?
OK Golbez. It may not be gold bars, but if as you suggest there is no system of collateralising the issued currency in a typical capitalist economy, are we in the western world not exposing ourselves to the vagaries of political whims and thus the possibility of a repetition of say, the Wall Street Crash, when people bought paper on the basis of greed, and faith in an ever increasing market value of their stocks and shares? And that per se being the case, would I not be wise to liquidate my investment assets and buy a cellar full of canned food and beer against the day when the inevitable chickens come home to roost - again? I cannot believe that the World Bank does not regulate the issuance of spurious paper currency without some internal and external controls of that particular govenment's ability to honour any debts held in that particular currency.
I'm not an economist either, but perhaps I can help explain the phenomenon with a little fable.
Aelfrid the peasant was quite happy. The duke of the island estate had, by discarding gold and silver for fiat money, found a way to buy whatever he wanted. The duke decided to build a castle of amazing grandeur. Aelfrid was hired at an unheard-of wage of 10 thalers a day to work on the new residence. He decided he would use his earnings to build a new house of his own.
First he went to the quarryman to buy the stone for his new house. He was shocked to find the price for stone had shot up from 1 thaler a ton to 30 thalers a ton almost overnight. The problem, the quarryman said, was that the castle contractor needed far more stone than the quarry had available. The quarry could only mine a few tons a day, so to buy any stone, Aelfrid would have to outbid the castle and everyone else looking for stone.
Aelfrid decided instead to build his house out of wood. So he went to see the lumberjack, who told Aelfrid a cord of wood was now 20 thalers, up from 1 thaler last week. Seems the duke has already bought half of the timber in the forest for his new castle, and some has to be left standing for the future. So there's hardly any timber left for anything else.
Aelfrid managed to scrounge up enough materials to put together a house, reserving 15 thalers to pay other villagers to help put it together. That should be enough for 30 man-days of work, he thought. But then he realized -- with the castle paying 10 thalers a day, who is going to work for 1/2 a thaler? Even labor was now impossible to buy at a reasonable price!
Aelfrid finally figured it out. The duke was not a genius but a trickster. Printing more money without an increase in productivity or resources did not mean more wealth. It was a way to transfer more of the island's wealth to himself! He got a castle, but no one else benefitted. Sure, Aelfrid got a job, but the increase in prices meant it wasn't worth his while.

Can someone make it clear what the actual mechanism of inflation is? Don't tell me wages; everyone's a tiny bit richer so everyone can afford to pay a tiny bit more for services and goods. Why is there anything wrong with such inflation (it's basically just changing every price and money unit the same tiny bit)? Why do the price and money units have to change at different rates; since the market is so interconnected, the money flows around fast enough to keep up with demand. You can give me big examples, and it seems to make sense, but I still don't understand why it has to be that way. If you have $100 in a system and $100 worth of goods, then add $20, so the money and goods are unbalanced, why does the price of the goods have to rise to meet the amount of money?! Why can't some guy just walk around with an extra twenty in his wallet? Or the construction workers get their rich break by working for a suspiciously wealthy senator? That's the core of my question: why does the maxim "the value of the goods must always match the money supply" have to be true (what's keeping it from being false?) and why exactly does inflation occur?
I'm still fishing for that satisfying answer that I can go "ohhhhhhhhh" to instead of going "well I guess :/" to. Or at least enough somewhat-satisfactory answers to build a coherent picture of what's going on.

I'm trying to find two old Disney comics featuring Scrooge McDuck. I read both of them as a a kid, so my memory is a bit hazy on both stories, and I don't remember by whom they were drawn. I'd love to read these stories again, so any help would be appreciated. Both stories were released (or re-released) in the early-to-mid seventies, so they must be at least that old...here's what I remember:

An interesting proposal is being discussed at [9]. It's getting long, and really should be discussed elsewhere. I'm happy to move the discussion (and tidy it up), but I'm not sure where to move it. At the Village Pump there is a description of what goes where, but the language tag proposal falls into several categories at once, seems to me: it's technical, policy-related, etc. My guess is that it should be considered a "Proposal," but I'd like someone less new than I to confirm that. Also, because the proposal is very complicated, it seems like it should probably have its own page, since the discussion has already gotten quite lengthy, and many people still aren't even aware of the proposal. Is it possible and kosher simply to introduce the proposal at WP:VPR (if, indeed, that's the right place for it), and then point people to a separate page, say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Language_Tags?

When a post contains just the word "Bump," what does it mean? Is it just to "bump" the thread to the top of the forum? I have seen this mainly on Runescape, But i have noticed it elsewhere.
I find it frustrating that some people misuse the the "contribs" feature to cast aspersions on POV. When I edit controversial subjects, I have been drug into debates about my POV based solely on the fact that I edit a number of articles on a particular topic. A couple of editors have assumed (incorrectly -- ironically) that if I edit on a topic, I must therefore have some affiliation with, or affinity for, that topic, and that my further edits are therefore suspect.
Edits should be discussed on their own merits, and not on suspicions about the affiliations of the editor. So I wonder whether this problem can be resolved by blocking from the view of the hoi-polloi my list of contributions? Is such a thing even possible? Thanks!

I've been thinking about trying to create a paper model (no restrictions on construction, though made from a sheet of standard paper -- cutting, glueing, taping, etc. allowed). But the project in question would require a number of hollowed hemispheres. The best way to visualize the shape would be to imagine a sphere with another, smaller sphere inside it that was hollow, bisected in half.
I'm somewhat at odds for how one would do this by just folding paper. I know how one can make cones by cutting a slice out of a circle and then connecting the exposed edges. Is there any way to do half of a sphere? Any suggestions? -- Fastfission 02:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It's me again! I'm trying to make a map, and the borders of West Florida have perplexed me. This is what I've come up with:
However, the Republic of West Florida, and the subsequent US annexation of West Florida, only mention a region west of the Perdido. Likewise, we have several maps in the article, and both the Perdido and the Apalachicola are cited as borders. So, question: Is this simply a confusion in borders, or did the border between W and E Florida shift westward at some point? I'd really like to know this. Further confusing things - when Florida Territory was organized in 1822, articles I've seen say that it combined East Florida and part of West Florida, meaning that West Florida still extended to the Apalachicola. (the Perdido is the modern western boundary of Florida; if West Florida only went to the Perdido, then it could not be part of Florida Territory. The remainder of West Florida went to Mississippi and Orleans Territories).

Umm...interesting question above mine lol. But anyways, considering the whole Mexico-US immmigration issue, I pondered a situation. Let's say an American rancher down in Texas owns land that borders Mexico. If he wanted to, could he sell the land to the Mexican government or are there laws prohibiting this? Now what if that's alright, and Mexico decides to change the border, as this land is now "rightfully" theirs. Would this be legit?

What is need to know is, how to measure the returns(benefits) without any prior data knowledge, ie, before the actual investment is made. I have to collect the data regarding what are the factors which can be taken into consideration for formulating the basics for quantifying the benefits.
I know what I have written above is quite difficult to understand. Not much of you will find this interesting, nonetheless im in desperate need. I cant collect much data by Googling…
I would be much happier if you can provide me with some hard facts and data, material, links,… anything which may help me…
Thanks again for helping me…hoping to see a reply soon.

How can we increase our IQ? Thanks.
google iq test. bear in mind that i scored 3 different scores on 3 seperate occasions. To increase your score, eat well and healthy for a few days, get enough sleep, and eat something sweet right before. dont drink or smoke either. this will seriously increase your score, and keep it secret. 193.115.175.247 09:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Anton
Well sam blanning, interesting theory there, i think it has been tried though, by a strange little man called hitler, had some success, but if your iq is 0, kill all you like, it aint gonna help further more, different countries have different iq statistics, eg the average iq of areas. Also, below 95 is below average, and over 110 is above average, however if you score about 120, (it think)then you qualify as a genius, in which case whatch out for those slimy MENSA types. 193.115.175.247 13:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Anton

Dear Sir,
I am a non-US citizen civilian interested in the subject of military organization and, to that efect, I have been analizing information about the Tables of Organization and Equipment of the diferent United States Army units.
There are good a number of TOEs published in the web, both in military and non-military webs, among the later in www.fas.org and www.globalsecurity.org. Nonetheless, I haven’t been able to find many other TOEs because, as a special note in those pages informs, their list “includes only combat and direct related major support units”, and does not include “numerous headquarters, maintenance ans other support units which are normally attached to or associated with the listed combat units”.
Althoug TOEs (or at least almost all of them) are nor “restricted” information, I do not know of a web site (or publication source) where all of them are available. Could you informe me of any I could have overlloked?
As a (very) second best, it could be useful to have access to a list of allt TOEs (including the respective TOE number and unit title).
Yours most sincerely,
(Mr) Jorge Navarrete M.

I was just wondering if there was a special name for the "weird" episode previews at the end of episodes in some Japanse anime. I would also like to know why exactly they do that? Or is it just weird translation?
They show images and give comments, usually just short sentences. They are very emotional (sometimes weird compared to the tone of the series) and aren't very specific.
Here is an example of the subtitles during such a preview. Spoilers ahead!
Well "spoilers" : at the end of episode 5 of
Elfen lied :
Anxiety and relief.
Suffering and gentleness.
Uncessant overflowing of mixed feelings.
A contradiction in quality, only one thing can have that meaning,
Comprising of past memories that are... washed by the pouring rain.
Memories that before long, will be quietly washed away.
at the end of the first Kenshin ova, about the second part :
Blue spirit flowers disperse. Blood waves billow. A shadow sighs behind the paper door. Memories of those holding hands, an illusion.
Evilbu 18:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if there's a special name for it but I do know exactly what you're talking about. And no, it's not a mistranslation. As for why they do it ... it's just for something different. Also, this way avoids spoilers ... as it's sufficiently vague to not spoil any of the events of the upcoming episode while still informing you about it. I don't watch previews on American TV because they give away half of the damn upcoming episode. -- Cyde↔Weys 20:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks,I guess it's a cultural thing. I have become so used to Western films and series... Watching anime is nice, you learn little differences in culture (like sleeping on the floor). Well about the spoilers, they do show images which spoil a little bit. Still I find it weird, when you watch Elfen lied, it can end spectacularly, an ending song...and then ..so weird, so poetic, it seems like it doesn't fit the tone? Evilbu 20:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
How do I link to an image without the image actually appearing?
The example in question is on the Nelson's_Column#Other_monuments_to_Nelson page, where I want to include a link to the picture of one of the other Nelson monuments (and there is no article).
* In the [[Bull Ring, Birmingham]], [[England]], there is a Grade II* [[listed building|listed]] bronze '''[[image:Nelson_Statue_in_Birmingham.jpg|statue of Nelson]]''' by [[Richard Westmacott]], dating from [[1809]].
2. I tried removing "image" from the link, but it just pushes me into an edit of a non-existant page 3. I tried searching the help under "links" but I couldn't find it there (maybe Help needs a link in the "Links" section to the detail.

I have found a math code of more than 60 patterns that form symbols, starting in english, but written in math. I was wondering if anybody has any idea how it could have got there. The math code is at http://inthemath.com but the question is:
one tWo tHree fOur five six Seven Eight Nine Ten
As I understand it languages grew sought of haphazardly, but someone would have had to be skilled in math to get it there.
Road wizard, that would be your first instinct, the second should be to look. Did you see the site? It's free. Try and move the math around, like you moved the letters. And if you noticed, I did not pick letters to suit myself, those words are there.
You answered the question. If there is a code there,the evolution of the language would not account for it. So either I put it there, or it is a coincidende. What other option is there?

I remember playing a board game in which you start off w/ a few pieces, and would either be able to place a new piece in a square adjacent to one of you pieces, or you could jump a space. Any of your opponent's pieces that were adjacent to the new/jumped piece would be turned into your pieces. The main goal is to either completely annihilate your opponents army or trap them so they wouldn't be able to jump over your pieces. On neopets I believe this game is called Armada. Does anyone know the actual name of this game?

This is a question that has been preying on my mind all day. I'll put it as delicately as I can. Usually, when a person of the male gender urinates, he will begin by pointing his appendage towards the toilet, and yet sometimes when the urine emerges, it flies off into a completely different direction (at a very strange angle) and goes on the floor of the bathroom, thus embarrassing himself and infuriating his girlfriend. The strangely-directioned stream lasts barely a second before the piss rights itself, thus following the path originally intended by said male. Why does this happen? What could possibly cause a well aimed stream to fly outward at an angle totally out of sync with its proposed direction? Is it too late to claim that a friend asked me to ask on their behalf?

The system of post codes in the UK is very precise. One post code can, I think, apply to no more than a few houses in a street. It is therefore possible to write just [house number] [post code] on an envelope and the letter will be delivered to the correct address. This is very different from most other countries, where a four- or five-digit post (zip) code covering a much wider area is the norm. (Canada may be similar to the UK.) Why is the UK system so different? In other words, why did the British feel the need for such a precise system when few other countries did? I checked postal code and UK postcodes and there is plenty of detail there, but nothing to answer my specific question. -- Richardrj 12:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

In the past few months someone suggested (at least twice) a converter for sound and/or video files called something like "media encoder" (I'm only sure about the media part) to people who needed something converted, but now I forgot the link and I can't find it in the archives. Can someone remind me of the program and its location? - Mgm| (talk) 18:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
There are hundreds of formats (digital file type specifications) for audio and video, and dozens of programs to "convert" from format to format. Some formats can be decoded and re-encoded into the destination format, while others actually have to be played and simultaneously recorded and encoded by the converter program.
Sound formats range from MIDI (like a GIF is to images; best for sustained frequencies and not much level of deatail) to MP3 (the PNG of sound) which is very well-compressed and is good for all types of sound.
Video formats are more varied, and range from Windows AVI (completely uncompressed; enormous filesize) to WMV (windows's video format). Video formats, like audio, can typically be encoded at different framerates and resolutions, and with different video compression codecs (DivX, XviD).
You can get more specific help by providing the file extension of the media you're trying to convert (if the extension is AVI, give the compression codec if possible).

Recently, I visited urbandictionary.com and when I was looking at the defintion of Goth chick, they were showing a picture of a goth chick kissing a punk chick. Can anyone tell me the difference between a goth and a punk?
Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) .
Goths are generally depressed, stay indoors, come out at night, hat the world and dress in black, most importantly, they listen tio goth rock music such as Type O Negative, Sisters of mercy, ect. A Punk is a rebel, they hate organizations such as government, and anything that is pretty and nice. more importantly they listen to Punk music such as Offspring, Sexpistols. Sorry to steriotype people so, but it had to be done in the context of the question. And listen to more Slayer! Black metal will rule the world! Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir.
that was so well put, richardrj, goth women are beautiful what with the dark hair, and the pale skin and green eyes and the oh my god(simpsons?)
Hello,
I'm doing research on the war, and I was wondering if anyone could point me to a reference that gives the statistics to Iraqi civilian casualties as a result of a) Insurgency, b) Criminal, c) Genocide related, d) & other general murders due to related type of injustice BEFORE the US invasion in 2003. Particularly in the city of Baghdad, as a response to May's record-setting 1300 or so deaths in the capital. I'm basically just trying to see on a very superficial level the before and afters of the war. Also, if anyone has a detailed account of general social development in Iraq (or just Baghdad) as a result of US or coalition intervention (increase in technology, international trade, medical availability, civil liberties, education, housing, etc.)

Anyway : I am looking for a movie (could be a tv series but I doubt it) where at one point a lot of people are sitting around a table (I think in a bar) and it appeared they were held hostage by one guy, in any case he seems to be the boss there. He is not really threatening them at that point, but forces them to tell things. They pass a cigarette around, everyone smokes, and when it burns up, and stuff falls off, that guy has to tell something.
One guy started to admit he had impotence problems.
Then the 'boss' orders a young woman (I think he called her Candy) to light another cigarette up, and this time a man has to speak up, and I think he has a suitcase of which he refuses to reveal the content.

Can I have the text of the "tell the truth" oaths in a UK court, both the "almighty God" one and the affirmation. Thanks-- Keycard ( talk) 12:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
An interesting potential future development from [23] Judges at the Crown Court:
We are wholly in favour of replacing the current oaths for witnesses and jurors with a simple formula that can be used by everybody whatever their religious persuasion or lack of it. Its form must nevertheless be sufficiently solemn to drive home the necessity to abide the promise. This is particularly true in a criminal court where there should be no dilution of the undertaking.
We suggest a witness's oath as follows
"I will tell the truth and I understand that I am liable to prosecution for perjury if I state anything that I know to be false or do not believe to be true."
Jurors oath
"I solemnly undertake to try the defendant and to return a true verdict according to the directions of law that am given and to the evidence that I receive."
[LCD ref: 401]
Interesting that it suggests only telling the truth out of fear of prosecution, not because you 'promise'. More of an acknowledgment than an oath.

I have had sex a number of times with numerous partners, but, not recently: When woman comes up to me and asks me for my phone number or starts touching me, telling me i am sexy ect, i feak. I either just cant think of anything to say, and i end up just running away, this does not help my sex life whatsoever. could some one please tell me how to over come this fear.
Could it be a case of "better latent than never" ? That is, latent homosexuality may cause you to react with fear or disgust towards women. This is most likely if you live in an environment where homosexuality is considered taboo. StuRat 20:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I concur with StuRat. That is the most likely reason.

Hi I've been looking all over the net and have found many conflicting articles. Some say that young children watching over 2 hours of TV will have reduced performance at school, others say that TV is a vital learning resource. Apparently the effects of TV watching on adults is unresearched, though it would seem that the efects would be less than those of children's developing minds. Does anyone know what effects TV has on mental health?
South africa got tv in 1976, before this, most families had at least one musician, as entertainment. People also played ALOT more sport.
I don't see how television would be a vital learning resource. Either they are at an early age before they can read or they can read. At a very early level, gosh, maybe the parents could have the kids play with blocks or teach them basic words like chair and up and down and one and two. Even without this, in this case, it is not television shows that would be good, but educational videos that happen to be played on a television. Or, they are at a more advanced level and are going to learn a lot more by reading. They can read faster or slower depending on their level or their understanding of a particular part, and it expands their vocabulary, quickens the mind, and provides a more sophisticated understanding than that offered in television shows.
The problem with television shows is that the viewer is totally or mostly passive. They are not imagining/picturing or considering what they read; the picture is provided for their and there is no time for consideration when right away the next shot is up on the screen. They are not engaging with other persons, interacting dynamically and learning about people; they are getting a fake impression of what is normal by the caricatured, exaggerated, and simplified emotions and actions of the people on screen. They are not exercising their body; they are sitting, and they are not experiencing life. It's not that the viewer is exposed to dangerous influences, it's that part of their life is spent not in thought or experience or community, it is spent being the receiver of second-hand scenes, somewhat dumbed down to appeal to the average relaxing person sitting after work yes, but more importantly it simply not possible to fit as much thought or experience into a show put together in a couple of weeks and created not as one of many texts spanning a thousand years to stand the test of time, but to gain the highest ratings this month. In no situation is plopping a child in front of the television going to result in an intelligent, strong, focused person. — Centrx→ talk 10:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I just watched On the Waterfront yesterday. For those who don't know, it concerns longshoremen in New York City and the union that they're in. Near the beginning of the movie there's a scene where a boss is picking workers out to unload a ship. While he's picking men, he hands them what looked like a coin or possibly a button. I thought I heard the characters in the movie refer to them as tabs. The men then show these to another man with a clipboard as they enter the warehouse. This man then appears to be writing down what is on this "tab". So my question... What were these little things? What were they for? And what was written on them?

Skittle, why aren't you deleting this entire question, as it is nothing more than a simple expression of misogyny, posed with rather foul language to boot? I'm only asking because I was involved in a rather interesting political debate, which you apparently took it upon yourself to remove, with an admonition something along the lines of: "this discussion seems to have no relation to the original question, and so, as for whatever political debate may spontaneously develop, the RD is not a soapbox...I have therefore removed the entire discussion".
Should I therefore take it that honest, good natured political debate is off limits, (despite that it may have spontaneously developed independent of the original question), yet openly foul-mouthed misogynistic questions are perfectly acceptable?

my friend asked me to ask this. If there is a cloudless sky, why is it that it can be colder or hotter today than it was yesterday, even though yesterdays sky was as clear as todays? in theory, the weather should get progressivly hotter until the summer solstice then colder until the winter equinox.

These commercials run in the US. I notice the gecko talked in the earlier commercials, then went silent (as in the ads with him in a car), then started talking again recently. I suspect this means they had a contract negotiation problem with the original voice actor and either got him back or replaced him with a sound-alike for the later ads.

lsdjbtsrdhq3#' says: What type of government is there in Belarus? - SmarterChild - says: The type of government of Belarus is republic in name, although in fact a dictatorship.

Dear sir/madam, I'm an accountant/student from Sydney. I've been looking for names of Accounting firms in Norway for past few weeks, but have been unsuccessful.
Before I started working in the accounting firm I did google search which returned a list of top 100 accounting firms in Sydney. Then I managed to find the home pages of those companies by doing a name search. I wanted to do the same for Norwegian accouting firms. I've tried Wikipedia and it gave me plenty of information on Norway, but nothing on the names or lists of accounting firms there.
It would be a great if you could help me with this search as I need to look at the profiles of the Norwegian accounting firms in order to apply for jobs there.
Regards, Andrea
Google is your friend. A search of the .no domain for "accounting" yields several sites. Perhaps some of these pages will serve as a starting point.
As an alternative, try contacting the Norwegian embassy. If you tell them you're looking to spend a few years working in Norway, they may give you a list of accountancy firms who take on qualified accountants from other countries. Another possible starting point. -- Howard Train 04:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I have two questions to ask you:
1.In Star Trek, do most of the individual planets(including United Earth) have their own a or do they have a space agency similar to Starfleet or NASA?
2.In most science fictions that talk about world government,space exploration, or aliens, do most of the planets with their own central government have an army or do they have a space agency similar to Starfleet or NASA? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.241.147.187 ( talk • contribs) 00:48, June 11, 2006 (UTC)
If aliens existed, I'm sure NASA and other space agencies(or an International Space Agency if one existed) would have fighting against aliens in times of war as one of their duties, though space exploration would continue to be their main mission.But a space navy would have global defence as their main mission, not exploration and research.
I'm not quite sure about Star Trek, but I've read a lot of science fiction and planets (or groups of planets in an empire, federation, whatever) usually have a space navy and space marine and (less often mentioned) army (for occupation of planets). Obviously, it's very common for individual planets in an empire to have their own defense force - usually an army for ground defense and sometimes a wet navy and/or air force (though these are often left out in favor of simply deploying atmosphere capable space forces).

Some Christians in the world not only claim that creation is right and evolution is wrong, but they also claim that the earth is not billions of years old but only 6,000 years old.Those Christians are called the young-earth creationists.I have three questions to ask you about young-earth creationism:
1.The young-earth creationists claim that for some reasons, the six days of Genesis Chapter 1 can only mean six literal 24-hour days.Is that true?
2.They also claim that radio-carbon dating is not very accurate.They claim that it can be contaminated with samples that can distort the result.Is that true?If it is, then how accurate is it?Is it accurate enough to prove that the earth is billions of years old?
3.Many people have criticized the advocates of Intelligent Design for proposing a theory that is not really science.If so, than whether you're creationist or evolutionist,Christian or not; what do you think about these more radical creationists?

.1 no, they relate to God-years, In hinduism (if one is willing to look at the correlation between our differing rligions) one will notice that one day for God or the Brahma relates to many thousands of years for us, this is better explained in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire by Alice Bailey, i will see if i can dig up the relative passage for you....hence, ill be back. oh, and carbondating is pretty accurate, it can be contaminated, but if 100 000 samples all say the same thing, are they all wrong, i think not. 193.115.175.247 13:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I have left my book at home, but will answer the first part of tour question fully tomorow. 1 year of the brahma equals 432000 years of man. 193.115.175.247 15:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
While radiocarbon dating cannot prove the age of the Earth beyond aprox. 60,000 years, using other elements, scientists can prove the Earth is far older than 60,000 years; closer to 4.5 billion years, in fact. See Age of the Earth. zafiroblue05 | Talk 00:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
the days in the bible are correlatted as follows. The various eastern philisophical deities correspond to varios hirachies of angels and demonds all the way up to the supreme being which is the same in most monothiestic religions: 360 days of a human egauls 1 year krita yuga contains 1,728,000 years tetra yuga contains 1,296,000 years dwarpa yuga contains 864,000 years kali yuga contains 432,000 years the total of the said four yugas constitute a maha yuga 4,320,000 years 71 of such maha yugas form the period of the reign of 1 manu 306,720,000 intervals between the reign of each manu which is equal to 6 manu yugas is 25,920,000 the total of the reigns and the interrgnums of 14 manus is 1000 mahu yugas which constitute a kalpa or one day of the brahma 4,320,000,000 But the Brahmas night is of equal duration (the rotation of the sun with its binary dual) there fore one day and night of the Brahma is equal to 4,640,000,000 years 360 of such days constitute one year of the brahma or 3,110,400,000,000 human/mortal years
I hope this will help you in answering your question concerning the 6 days of creation if this does not make scence to you, read A treatise on sosmic fire by alic bailey. Futher more, thanks for asking, i really enjoyed answering. Anton 10:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to hog the answers, but if one reads Darwins' Origin of Species, it is quite clear that evolution is fact. One only needs to look at your dog, and ask why it is not a wolf. Then fibally to answer the last part of your question. While being brought up christian myself, though not stick. It is clear that if one looks at various aspects of the neo-christian evangelist movement currently sweeping the united states, Evangelistic Christianity is much more akin to a cult than to Christianity, this may offend some, i realise, but more importantly, it should scare most, as due to the USA's foreign policy... I have heard them referred to as Gods New Army.
Miscellaneous seems to fit my question(s). I'm not sure if it's technologic or computer science related.
I've been planning my reinstallation of Windows XP, but I am still a bit nervous that I may mess up. I've never reinstalled it, and it has been two years since I've bought my computer. The reason for the reinstallation is that I want to see if there is an improvement in overall computer quality. I've been reading TweakingCompanion 3.1 and downloaded the recommended software to ensure proper installation. But I have some questions concerning the process. (They are after the specifications, so you can just scroll down then reference the specs as needed.) Here are my computer specifications:
I have a new maxtor 200 gb 2.0 usb hard drive that I plan on using. I am going to make a backup of my current hard drive onto the hard drive in case I mess up. I have the sound blaster audigy drivers, the monitor drivers, and two other cds with drivers.
Do you know of any good software (freeware) that I can use to create backup drivers of the drivers I already have installed on the computer, for further caution? I also downloaded ERUNT to create registry backups. I have the Dell MS Windows XP Pro SP 1a Operating System on a CD to reinstall. One concern that I have is that I do not have a floppy for the RAID 0 volume that I plan to keep when I reinstall. Is there a guide to making one of these floppies? (82801ER SATA RAID Controller)
Also, does a computer that is around two years old need a BIOS update?
So my overall plan is that I will reinstall windows with the RAID 0 volume configured, then transfer some of the files from the external maxtor drive back to the computer for my normal use.
If I decide later on, will I still be able to install another operating system (perhaps Linux) so that it will be a dual booting computer? This is because I heard it is bad to reinstall windows many times especially in a short time period. I'm not sure why though.
Finally, do you see any flaws in my thinking? Will my reinstallation process be successful? If you know of any freeware that will provide me with necessary software for backing up drivers, or making my reinstallation easier, or that will provide me with a more detailed checklist, I will be eternally grateful.
I've been searching on google for guides and have come across some good ones, but before I potentially mess up my computer, I would like advice from fellow Wikipedians. ;o
Thanks for your help. (Anecdotes of your past XP reinstallions might help if you can't specifically answer any one of my questions.)
I have my computer specifications if you need them. This is somewhat the "universal" method of relaying your computer specifications for computer help:

My girlfriend is majoring in Psychology and is considering going to either Med School to get an M.D. or graduate school to get a Ph.D (or just getting her B.S. degree). She's leaning toward Med School, but is uncertain that's what she wants to do. I would like to give her some advice, but I don't know much about the difference in career opportunities from a Ph.D & MD degrees. Also, how much should she be able to expect to make, and will she have difficulty finding a job due to over-saturation in the marketplace? It seems like a lot of people major in psychology, so I am tempted to advise her to change her major to business or something more practical. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am an engineer and my fiancee is going to be a physcologist/physcritrist shrink. To me it seems very hard to find a job in a specified area--It seems like every time I have changed or have had an opportunity to change jobs, I have had to re-locate. In a situation where two people are living together, their career search must be limited to the same area as their companion--this seems highly restrictive. What can a couple do to deal with this, especially if they expect to change jobs/ presue opportunities rather frequently?

There's an old story about a group of students who were all goven a barometer and told to work out the height of a particular tall building using it. The geography student found the difference in atmospheric pressure between the top and the bottom of the building and calculated it from that. The geometry student measured the barometer's height, the length of its shadow and the length of the building's shadow, and calculated it from that. The physics student dropped the barometer off the top of the building and timed its fall, and calculated it from that. And the commerce student visited the building's caretaker and said "I'll give you this nice barometer if you tell me how tall the building is!" Grutness... wha? 01:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I am concerned about the effeciency caused by the abundance of articles deleted every day due to ambiguity about what is an acceptable article, particularly the notion of non-notability. Such articles should either never be created in the first place (saving editors time) or not be deleted (improving content). Regardless of what this might be, WP needs a better, comprehensive policy addressing notability. How can I contribute/start to this process? -- Ephilei 01:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Let me rephrase this: I'm not so concerned about users making absurd articles that are deleted; I am concerned with users, like myself, who have read all the pertinent policies and guidelines, put time into an article, and then editors of one 'opinion decide the article isn't worthy because it's nn. this article, for example. The article is on a non-notable subject but does not violate any official policy. (It does violate Wikipedia:Notability, but that's not a policy or even a guideline.) I am not on a quest to undelete this article; but as the whole process was frustrating and seems inconsistent with Jimbo's philosophy of inclusion, I'd like help improve the lack of policy about non-notability. I've spent some time searching AfD and voicing my opinion in order to change individual outcomes and set precedence (or rather, try to reverse the deletionist precedence) but this has seemed an inefficient use of time and helps nothing in the long run. I'm not looking for a debate here, I'm looking to help create policy. Even if the created policy ends up being the opposite of my own inclusionist opinion, it is better to have an inclusive, logical, and thorough discussion that we can agree was conducted properly instead of working thru the unofficial nn precedents. Where/how can this take place? -- Ephilei 00:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to find the meaning of the word "entoleted", it is some process or treatment applied to wheat flour before distribution.
I have searched the net, online dicionaries etc. but can not discover what it actually means.
I would be grateful if you could find an answer.
Thanks, Bill
The Infestation Destroyer (EID®) was designed by Entoleter and tested in conjuction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thousands of Entoleter Infestation Destroyers in mills worldwide confirm the efficiency of the unique EID centrifugal impact machine to destroy eggs, larvae, and mature infestation in flour and other grain products with a 100% effective kill rate. The importance of the EID in the flour milling industry is clear – “entoleting the flour” has long been a generic term that originated with the use of Entoleter’s Infestation Destroyer over several generations. Principle of Operation: A high-speed rotor is the only moving part in the processing zone of the Entoleter mill. Feed materials enter the rotor from the inlet(s) located at the top of the mill.As material enters the rotor, it is thrown outward due to the centrifugal force of the spinning rotor. The processed material then spirals to the bottom of the conical discharge hopper and out to conveyors or bins. [29]
"At this point, the wheat may be processed in an Entoleter, a trade name for a device with rapidly spinning disks which hurl the grains of wheat against small metal pins. Those grains which crack are considered to be unsuitable for grinding and are removed." [30]
I've been working a bit on modifying and editing the List of Portable Applications article, though it is no where near complete and have come to the conclusion that it may need a number of changes to ensure the it's accuracy, usability, and precision. The word "applications" in the title of the article is too general in that while it refers to software in its most general sense, other definitions include a wide range of topics. The term "Applications Software' is more specific and less open to interpretation which I believe would allow users seeking information on the subject an easier time finding it since both the terms "applications" and "software would come up in search. Additionally the article has become extremely unwieldly, topping 50kb with only minimal new additions. It would seem appropriate that the article be split into several categories along the lines of the Application Software article. How would I go about implementing this and who if anyone do I need to ask permission before going ahead with the above actions? -- WalksWithGrizzlies 15:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

When a batter hits the ball and it ends in an out, whether it is a ground out, force out, pop up or line drive out, regarding the pitcher, is the pitch added to his pitch count as a strike or a ball?
Alternatively, if the batter hits the ball and reaches safely due a clean hit or an error, does the pitch count get recorded as a ball or a strike?
Thanks!

Thanks ESKOG...that's the answer I was looking for to record an accurate ball and strike count for a pitcher's statistics. I hadn't thought about the wild pitch or HBP so thanks for that extra piece of information too.*

Of course, nothing about the color itself affects the crash rate, but some color has to be on top. And it's not really random; that's just the way all the nonrandom events turned out. So what is this called? Is there an article on this? -- Froth 00:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I think you might fail to realize that when the Reader says "statistically less probable" it means just that -- it doesn't mean "it just so happens that over the past x years, out of x million crashes, this color comes up a few dozen (but statistically insignifacant) times more often". I think you assumption Of course, nothing about the color itself affects the crash rate, but some color has to be on top is mistaken: no color "has" to come up on top by a statistically significant margin, as the Reader stated. (Btw as a rough approximation the square root of the sample size is what would be significant. So, while we would expect a given set of 10,000 coin tosses (starting now, for instance) not to result in exactly 5,000 heads and 5,000 tails (we "expect" one to come up on top), we do not expect this happen by a statistically significant margin. In order for one side to be "statistically less probable" [the phrase you copied from the Reader] one would have to come out on top by 100 out of the 10,000. So if you go ahead and toss a coin 100 times now, then 47 to 53 isn't an unusual result, but 42 to 58 is very unusual and implies you don't have a fair coin. If you toss your coin 100 times twice in a row, and heads wins 58 to 42 one time and 57 to 43 the next, you can be pretty darned sure the coin isn't being random enough. However, 54 to 46 and again 57 to 43 do not imply the same result [since the deviation is less than about the square root of 100, which is 10]. Indeed, this isn't unexpected: I guarantee you $1,000,000 to $10 that if you throw any "fair" coin 5 times it won't come up 50% heads and 50% tails. :)
A separate issue is that people don't get a random color car, so the color not only might effect accidents (not just because of visibility reasons, but the effect could be psychological on the driver -- driving a red car makes you more daring or something), it could also reflect something else, like safer drivers prefer psychologically safer colors, and therefore buy them. For example, if Ford introduced a color scheme almost identical to a black they have now, with the difference that it clearly shows a pirate (skullbones, etc) overlay, I would expect less safe people to prefer buying them. In this case, it isnt the color that causes accidents, rather the accident rate is reflected in the choice of color, which wouldnt happen if people were given a random color car (the color would still affect visibility, psychology of driver and oncoming drivers, etc). So statistically significant isn't enough to show causality one way or another, but if people got randomized colors it sure would be, and poring over accident statistics when Ford went from "any color as long as it's black" to real color choice should prove interesting, especially if somehow some people randomly got a non-black color (werent self-chosen into the new colors pool).
etc etc. any other questions? [Recap: "statistically significant" means something, and it's not that "one color HAS to come up on top" -- it doesn't have to: it could be about even for each color.]

---As an ex-new Wikipedian myself, (can you believe that such a creature can be allowed to exist?), I would caution you not to be too offended by respondents to any questions you might pose, using non-English expressions such as "suitly emphasi" or similar, which clearly serves only to emphasi their natural superiority over your own understandable ignorance of Wikipedia, and doesn't fulfil the commonly accepted purpose of an encyclopaedia, which is of course, to harvest, store, and disseminate information to those seeking enlightenment. Otherwise, you will, I feel sure, discover many extremely helpful respondents who don't behave in such a high handed and crass manner, but who instead, bend over backwards to either answer your questions directly, or else direct you to other sources of reliable reference. To that latter group, let me say how reassuring it is to know that you by far exceed in number, those sad and unfortunate members of the former group, who should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for attempting to belittle the efforts of others who are openly and honestly attempting to avail themselves of knowledge and information from a (new to them)previously undiscovered and rich seam of such material.

Why do Korean people use so many stainless steel eating utensils? Other than spoons and forks, many Koreans use steel bowls and chopsticks. In most Asian countries, these items are made of earthware, porcelain, wood, bamboo or plastics -- anything but metal because it's much easier to manufacture non-metal bowls and chopsticks. Some Korean chopsticks are nothing but two pieces of flat stainless steel. I don't think it's Korean tradition because stainless steel was only invented less than 100 years ago. Did the South Korean government encourage people to use stanless steel utensils as a way to strengthen national metal industry? -- Toytoy 07:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if I am really meaning Misery, but my English studies teacher was talking about it. The book is, to cut a long story short, about a woman who murders her husband with some meat (a large piece of lamb, I think). She then, after murdering her husband, goes down to the shops etc and when she returns acts as though she doesn't know what has happened. She then cooks the lamb (or whatever animal it was) and phones the police. The police come to investigate, but serves the lamb to the police officer, and thus gets rid of the murder weapon. Does anybody know what book this is? Thanks, K ilo-Lima| (talk) 15:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

1) What are some reasons football (soccer) does not have much popularity in America? 2) Why is it the most popular sport for kids, but much lower in the sport rankings for adults? Reywas92 16:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Has it occured to anyone that soccer is very popular with kids because its such an incredibly simple sport? The basics of soccer are so incredibly easy to understand. Think about it, what's easier for your little 5 year old munchkin to understand, the basics of soccer: "Run after the ball, kick the ball, and try to kick it inside that square thing with the net behind it. If you do then yay!!!!! your team gets a point. Oh, and don't use your hands" -- or the basics of baseball: "Stand in the batter's box and try to swing the bat and hit the ball whenever it's thrown inside a little imaginary box that stretches from your armpits to your knees in height, and is the width of that odd shaped five sided flat thing on the ground. If you hit the ball and it lands between the two white lines drawn on the field that form a 90 degree angle, the hit is considered "fair", whereas if it falls outside, it's foul. If the ball is caught by a player of the opposing team, whether fair or foul, before touching the ground, you're "out", with the exception of when it's caught by that very heavily padded guy behind you, in which case it must have flown in the air at least six feet after your bat touched it for it to be considered an out. The exception to that exception is that if you happen to have two strikes agianst you (a whole other topic), and the heavily padded guy behind you catches it, if your bat has only slightly touched the ball and it hasn't flown over six feet into the air, you're still out." And what I've just gone through is probably just about 2% of the rules of baseball! Young kids love soccer because it's fun and simple. It's American adults that prefer more complicated sports. In fact soccer is EXTREMELY popular among American children. What's more North American than a good old soccer-mom using her mini-van to drive her kid to soccer-practice? Loomis51 20:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure you're not confusing cricket with baseball? I'm not saying complicated=good and simple=bad. That would imply that I like American/Canadian football, which in fact I cannot stand, while I would tend to dislike hockey, a significantly simpler sport than American football, which I in fact like. But to say that baseball is a simple sport, love it or hate it, is extremely innacurate. The "official rules of baseball" are practically as thick as the telephone book of a small town, whilst there simply aren't enough details and rules to football to require the sacrifice of a good part of a tree. In any case, say what you will about baseball. It's my sport and I love it. But you mention boring: How else would you describe watching a couple of dozen grown men kick around a ball, for what seems like hours, with the score often remaining nil-nil?
Ah, yes, the great question of our time. Why do Americans and Brits listen to the same music and watch the same movies but play different sports?
Actually, it's a fairly easy question. Most American sports fans think soccer is boring. The real question is why do American sports fans think soccer is boring when Brazilians and Mexicans and Italians think it's the most exciting thing in the world?
My own personal opinion is that Americans are used to sports where people run at full speed for short periods of time. Soccer appears to Americans to be a much slower game. There appears to be a lot of kicking the ball around midfield, jogging and looping crosses that seem to hang in the air forever. To a British person, American football might seem boring because the players spend a lot of time standing around in huddles. An American-football fan would say that the time in between plays doesn't count, but what's important is that whenever the ball is in play, players are running at full speed. Basically, soccer is more like watching a marathon, while American sports are more like watching a series of 100-meter dashes.
The other thing that differentiates American sports from soccer (and rugby) is that American sports, especially football and baseball, are divided into dozens of individual "plays" rather than spread out over 90 minutes. This creates several games-within-games. In American football, for example, you only get four chances to move the ball 10 yards, so every few plays, there is either a victory for the offense or the defense. From an American's perspective, something is always happening in a football or baseball game, while all that happens in soccer is about one goal every for 45 minutes of game play.
Finally, the fragmented nature of American sports allow for far more strategizing than soccer appears to have. Before each play of an American-football game, each team will choose one of dozens of plays from its playbook. The coach factors in things like the down, distance, field position, time remaining, score, etc., in choosing which play to run. This strategizing is what makes football football. A fake field goal that goes for a touchdown isn't a particularly amazing athletic feat, but the surprise factor and the chutzpah of the play call make it really exciting to fans. Soccer is a very different sport. Americans aren't used to watching athletics for sheer athleticism.
I don't think it's a coincidence that when you rank the "big four" American sports by popularity -- football, baseball, basketball, hockey -- you're also ranking them by increasing levels of spontaneity. It's also no surprise that basketball and hockey, the most spontaneous of the American sports, are also the ones popular in parts of Europe. -- Mwalcoff 01:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
The reason football is so widely played across the world is almost undoubtedly because all you require is a ball. The 'pitch' can be any size, it needn't necessarily be square, and jumpers can be used for goalposts - assuming you even bother with goals. Kids in America have far less time on their own than elsewhere in the world - their so-called "free time" is more regimented and timetabled by their parents than in other countries, and they are far less likely to be allowed to play in the street or in a park unsupervised than in Brazil or England. So they have less experience of the simple joy of a kickabout. What soccer they do play is tightly controlled by adults, with all the pressure that implies, and when you're doing that you might as well play rugby/American football or baseball/cricket. -- Sam Blanning (talk) 11:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

What would be the correct way to wire a 3 prong 1/8" stereo phone plug (like what you use for many headphones) to two RCA plugs (left and right). Obviously you've got 4 wires among the two RCA plugs and they need to be wired to the 3 prongs of the 1/8" phone plug. (I'm using Radio Shack phone plugs). There are two solder terminals across from each other and then the longer shank (which I believe is the ground). Do you take the left + of the RCA to the respective left teminal on the phone and likewise with the right +, and then finally connect BOTH left and right - (grounds) to the shaft? Will you still get stereo? Thanks in advance.

My friend had a game where one could place a bowling ball, then below place bellows, then in front place an arrow and then a baloon, then place a lever that holds a cage, then place a mouse. You then press play and hey presto! the bowling ball falls onto the bellows which blow the arrow into the string of the balloon which then floats up and switches the lever to drop the cage on the mouse. This is only one of many man combinations that could be done, one could use any of the devises in a cartoon type situation to do just about anything from catching mice to blowing up the dynamite to ect ect ect. does any one know what this game was and where i can get a copy, it was really small and was able to fit one a stiffy disk. thanks

I was using partition magic to partition my files. I decided on a clean install of windows xp and had previously made a backup of my files on a 200gb maxtor drive.

My backup is technically not my backup anymore since it contains everything I have. It was made using the Windows backup utility. So it is a .bkf file.

So far how many people died due to HIV AIDS in sub sahara Africa? How many people are also infected with HIV AIDS virus in sub sahara africa? I want also to know, in the whole africa, the first three countries which have more HIV AIDS infected persons & less HIV AIDS infected persons?
Intersetingly, though this may not make scence to you,(do some research if not) No one has ever died of aids in africa. An ex girlfriend of mine has it and is dying, but because aids affects the imune system and thus stops ones body from fighting desease, it is the desease that kills you. For example, you get hiv, a few years later it develops into Aids, then you get a cold, that cold does not go away, and you get neumonia, that neumonia kills you. Therefore most peolpe who die of aids in africa, have thier deaths recorded as either unknown cause or other. this is also because of the stigma attached to aids in africa.

Hi,
I have been looking for this movie for ten years. It could also be a tv movie or even a mini series.
The language was English
I remember some kids (I think three), two of them about the same age, and a third little one, arriving in a camp (they could have been siblings, and orphans just as well). The camp could have been in Australia. There were Asians among the caretakers. There was one mean Asian caretaker and he was allergic to bees. The kids actually caught a bee and tried to get it to bite him when he was under the shower. The little kid thought that some nearby pond was a pool and insisted on swimming in it. When it was raining a lot , he actually does it, and I think the mean Asian guy actually went out wondering if anyone was in there. The little kid eventually drowns. Then there was a funeral (of the little kid) and the older boy is looking at the grave with a priest (old man) or something, and it is raining, and all of a sudden the priest puts his hand between the boy's legs!(So there was child abuse going on there as well...) Now maybe child abuse was the whole point of it all, but I missed parts so is quite surprised to see that happen...
Trust me, I really saw this on TV! Anyone who can help me find it will have my undying gratitude!!

Yeah that is probably it. Can you please explain some more? I still don't get why the kids were taken there?
How many child abusers where in the film.
Why did they do that with the bee????
They tried to get the person stung by a bee because he had been stung before and was allergic. They had been told if he was stung again that he'd probably die. They did this because he was a bully and was thought to be the one abusing one of the boys although it turned out to be someone else.

Yet again, we see how the academics have drummed into his poor little absorbent head all the tools of political, economic, social and technological analysis techniques, whilst at the same time have patronisingly tacked Procurement onto the end as an inconvenient afterthought. You buy something, you process it into something more valuable, you do all your other analysis techniques to work out how desirable it is , and what it costs to manufacture it and merchandise and market it and distribute it, and then you decide what to charge for it, and in doing so remain highly competitive, innovative and profitable. But never lose sight of the first principle - YOU BUY SOMETHING. Doesn't that suggest that Procurement should be much higher up the food chain????? MCIPS.

Pease oh pretty please will someone create an article, it is done, and just needs to be cut and pasted. He is a truelly phenomenal artist.
Ismael Lo, originally from the Senegal/Gambie region in Africa, is the Baladeer of africa, often called the African Bob Dylan for his use of harmonica and acoustic guitar. Having lived in both Spain and Africa. He paints sings and acts.
His greatest hit to date is called Dibi dibi Rek.
He is not scared to tackle serious issues in his music, known as Mbalek, in which he discusses topics as varied as HIV/AIDS famine warfare, and the superficial/materialistic attetude of African woman to thier men.
One of the greatest figures of the modern African renaisance. He has recored with artists such as Marian Faithful among others.
The spelling of his name is Ishmael with an : on its side above the e, Lo with a ^ above the O.

I once read in some Scottish Statistical Report that when the toll booths operated on both the northbound and southbound carriageways, there were some 10,000 cars fewer returned South than had crossed to the North in the previous year. Given that the bridge was opened by Queen Elizabeth in 1963, that shortfall would amount to some 430,000 cars, and their occupants, up to the present day, not taking account of the increased traffic on the bridge. The question is, where did they all disappear to? As far as I am aware, the population census returns for Scotland, consistently record that the Scottish population has fallen dramatically over that intervening period. Of course nowadays it would seem impossible to measure the difference between the number of cars travelling in both directions as the tolls now operate on the northbound lanes only.

What's the difference between a horse, a donkey, a pony, and a jackass? -- 67.185.129.168 04:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
The difference between a horse and a pony is basically size.Ponies are 14.2 hands(a hand is 4 inches) and under,a horse is anything over.HOWEVER Arabs are sometimes under 14.2 but are always horses.Falabellas are minature horses and are measured in inches,they are the size of large dogs.Dales ponies and Welsh cobs may be a little over 14.2 but they are still ponies.True wild American mustangs may be under 14.2 but they decreased in size through harsh conditions from full sized horses so they are horses.The rule of thumb however is under 14.2 pony,over a horse.There are some differences in temperament and stuff but I won't go into that.The donkey is a totally different animal,but comes from a common ancestor so close the two can interbreed and produce mules,which though sexually capable are infertile.Jackass is an American word for a male donkey(Ass is another word for donkey) The Brits use "donkey stallion"instead.Donkey Kong--well you've beaten me there!Hope this helps...hotclaws**==( 81.136.163.210 09:12, 2 June 2006 (UTC))

The question about the film with the drowning kid above, brought to mind another film. In it, a boy is talked into jumping of (I think) a railway bridge by his older brother and his brother's friend, but when he jumps, a log comes from under the bridge and he lands on it on his back.
He would've drowned if it wasn't for the kids saving him, but he ends up paralyzed in a wheelchair. The rest of the story involves the older brother's feelings of guilt, a doctor who examines the kid for the possibility of a risky operation falling in love with his mother.
I think the older brother may have been played by Brendan Fletcher or Kevin Zegers, but it could be someone else entirely. Has anyone got an idea which film I'm talking about? - Mgm| (talk) 09:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I know that when poland did it money became toilet paper, but I stil don't understand the practical dyanamics of it:
If some government department head wants a castle for an office, why can't he just go down to the federal mint (assuming he has the authority of course) and tell them to print him up a big roll of money? How does that make the price of a soda go up? It seems to me that if everyone had more money, there's no reason for the value of money to drop. Just make a law to make it so you can't charge more for goods just because people have more money.. basically I don't understand why inflation happens, and specifically why the government can't just print up more money to pay off its debt, and just not tell anyone so inflation doesn't go up.
Public knowledge seems to be the problem; in one of the Odyssey books by arthur c clarke, there was a conspiracy to secretly recover the solid-diamond mountain on europa and sell it off slowly on earth.. this gradual increase in the diamond supply of old ladies and collectors would hardly change its monetary value... so why does the gradual increase in money supply change its goods value? If there really wasn't any gold in fort knox - if america secretly used it to pay britain to print a zillion dollars of paper money for the US government's use - and nobody knew about it, would it make any difference?
When looking around wikipedia, instead of seeing a straight answer, I see words like "phenomenon" and vague ideas of gold being money not currency, and "according to some financial theories" .. can somebody just lay it out for me? -- Froth 19:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I'm no economist (thank God), but is it not the case that all capitalist economies have to maintain a balance between their circulated currency, and their reserves (as in gold bullion or other tradeable currencies)? If some governmental official decides to print loads of paper that cannot be underwritten by an equivalent amount of equity, does not the international tradeable value of the prime currency devalue, as happened in pre-war Germany and post-war Britain?
OK Golbez. It may not be gold bars, but if as you suggest there is no system of collateralising the issued currency in a typical capitalist economy, are we in the western world not exposing ourselves to the vagaries of political whims and thus the possibility of a repetition of say, the Wall Street Crash, when people bought paper on the basis of greed, and faith in an ever increasing market value of their stocks and shares? And that per se being the case, would I not be wise to liquidate my investment assets and buy a cellar full of canned food and beer against the day when the inevitable chickens come home to roost - again? I cannot believe that the World Bank does not regulate the issuance of spurious paper currency without some internal and external controls of that particular govenment's ability to honour any debts held in that particular currency.
I'm not an economist either, but perhaps I can help explain the phenomenon with a little fable.
Aelfrid the peasant was quite happy. The duke of the island estate had, by discarding gold and silver for fiat money, found a way to buy whatever he wanted. The duke decided to build a castle of amazing grandeur. Aelfrid was hired at an unheard-of wage of 10 thalers a day to work on the new residence. He decided he would use his earnings to build a new house of his own.
First he went to the quarryman to buy the stone for his new house. He was shocked to find the price for stone had shot up from 1 thaler a ton to 30 thalers a ton almost overnight. The problem, the quarryman said, was that the castle contractor needed far more stone than the quarry had available. The quarry could only mine a few tons a day, so to buy any stone, Aelfrid would have to outbid the castle and everyone else looking for stone.
Aelfrid decided instead to build his house out of wood. So he went to see the lumberjack, who told Aelfrid a cord of wood was now 20 thalers, up from 1 thaler last week. Seems the duke has already bought half of the timber in the forest for his new castle, and some has to be left standing for the future. So there's hardly any timber left for anything else.
Aelfrid managed to scrounge up enough materials to put together a house, reserving 15 thalers to pay other villagers to help put it together. That should be enough for 30 man-days of work, he thought. But then he realized -- with the castle paying 10 thalers a day, who is going to work for 1/2 a thaler? Even labor was now impossible to buy at a reasonable price!
Aelfrid finally figured it out. The duke was not a genius but a trickster. Printing more money without an increase in productivity or resources did not mean more wealth. It was a way to transfer more of the island's wealth to himself! He got a castle, but no one else benefitted. Sure, Aelfrid got a job, but the increase in prices meant it wasn't worth his while.

Can someone make it clear what the actual mechanism of inflation is? Don't tell me wages; everyone's a tiny bit richer so everyone can afford to pay a tiny bit more for services and goods. Why is there anything wrong with such inflation (it's basically just changing every price and money unit the same tiny bit)? Why do the price and money units have to change at different rates; since the market is so interconnected, the money flows around fast enough to keep up with demand. You can give me big examples, and it seems to make sense, but I still don't understand why it has to be that way. If you have $100 in a system and $100 worth of goods, then add $20, so the money and goods are unbalanced, why does the price of the goods have to rise to meet the amount of money?! Why can't some guy just walk around with an extra twenty in his wallet? Or the construction workers get their rich break by working for a suspiciously wealthy senator? That's the core of my question: why does the maxim "the value of the goods must always match the money supply" have to be true (what's keeping it from being false?) and why exactly does inflation occur?
I'm still fishing for that satisfying answer that I can go "ohhhhhhhhh" to instead of going "well I guess :/" to. Or at least enough somewhat-satisfactory answers to build a coherent picture of what's going on.

I'm trying to find two old Disney comics featuring Scrooge McDuck. I read both of them as a a kid, so my memory is a bit hazy on both stories, and I don't remember by whom they were drawn. I'd love to read these stories again, so any help would be appreciated. Both stories were released (or re-released) in the early-to-mid seventies, so they must be at least that old...here's what I remember:
If anyone can tell me how to get copies of these stories (from what I remember of the visuals, they might have been done by Barks, but I'm far from sure), I'll be a very happy boy for a weekend :) -- Ferkelparade π 18:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

An interesting proposal is being discussed at [9]. It's getting long, and really should be discussed elsewhere. I'm happy to move the discussion (and tidy it up), but I'm not sure where to move it. At the Village Pump there is a description of what goes where, but the language tag proposal falls into several categories at once, seems to me: it's technical, policy-related, etc. My guess is that it should be considered a "Proposal," but I'd like someone less new than I to confirm that. Also, because the proposal is very complicated, it seems like it should probably have its own page, since the discussion has already gotten quite lengthy, and many people still aren't even aware of the proposal. Is it possible and kosher simply to introduce the proposal at WP:VPR (if, indeed, that's the right place for it), and then point people to a separate page, say: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proposal:Language_Tags?

When a post contains just the word "Bump," what does it mean? Is it just to "bump" the thread to the top of the forum? I have seen this mainly on Runescape, But i have noticed it elsewhere.
I find it frustrating that some people misuse the the "contribs" feature to cast aspersions on POV. When I edit controversial subjects, I have been drug into debates about my POV based solely on the fact that I edit a number of articles on a particular topic. A couple of editors have assumed (incorrectly -- ironically) that if I edit on a topic, I must therefore have some affiliation with, or affinity for, that topic, and that my further edits are therefore suspect.
Edits should be discussed on their own merits, and not on suspicions about the affiliations of the editor. So I wonder whether this problem can be resolved by blocking from the view of the hoi-polloi my list of contributions? Is such a thing even possible? Thanks!

I'm the sort of person who tends to look at passers-by frequently, and when I see a group of people, although I don't stare directly at anyone, I look at the people a bit, and notice what they are wearing etc. When I do it to passers-by, they almost always notice, because they return the eye contact, then we both look away.

I've been thinking about trying to create a paper model (no restrictions on construction, though made from a sheet of standard paper -- cutting, glueing, taping, etc. allowed). But the project in question would require a number of hollowed hemispheres. The best way to visualize the shape would be to imagine a sphere with another, smaller sphere inside it that was hollow, bisected in half.
I'm somewhat at odds for how one would do this by just folding paper. I know how one can make cones by cutting a slice out of a circle and then connecting the exposed edges. Is there any way to do half of a sphere? Any suggestions? -- Fastfission 02:40, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

It's me again! I'm trying to make a map, and the borders of West Florida have perplexed me. This is what I've come up with:
However, the Republic of West Florida, and the subsequent US annexation of West Florida, only mention a region west of the Perdido. Likewise, we have several maps in the article, and both the Perdido and the Apalachicola are cited as borders. So, question: Is this simply a confusion in borders, or did the border between W and E Florida shift westward at some point? I'd really like to know this. Further confusing things - when Florida Territory was organized in 1822, articles I've seen say that it combined East Florida and part of West Florida, meaning that West Florida still extended to the Apalachicola. (the Perdido is the modern western boundary of Florida; if West Florida only went to the Perdido, then it could not be part of Florida Territory. The remainder of West Florida went to Mississippi and Orleans Territories).

Umm...interesting question above mine lol. But anyways, considering the whole Mexico-US immmigration issue, I pondered a situation. Let's say an American rancher down in Texas owns land that borders Mexico. If he wanted to, could he sell the land to the Mexican government or are there laws prohibiting this? Now what if that's alright, and Mexico decides to change the border, as this land is now "rightfully" theirs. Would this be legit?

What is need to know is, how to measure the returns(benefits) without any prior data knowledge, ie, before the actual investment is made. I have to collect the data regarding what are the factors which can be taken into consideration for formulating the basics for quantifying the benefits.
I know what I have written above is quite difficult to understand. Not much of you will find this interesting, nonetheless im in desperate need. I cant collect much data by Googling…
I would be much happier if you can provide me with some hard facts and data, material, links,… anything which may help me…
Thanks again for helping me…hoping to see a reply soon.

How can we increase our IQ? Thanks.
google iq test. bear in mind that i scored 3 different scores on 3 seperate occasions. To increase your score, eat well and healthy for a few days, get enough sleep, and eat something sweet right before. dont drink or smoke either. this will seriously increase your score, and keep it secret. 193.115.175.247 09:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Anton
Well sam blanning, interesting theory there, i think it has been tried though, by a strange little man called hitler, had some success, but if your iq is 0, kill all you like, it aint gonna help further more, different countries have different iq statistics, eg the average iq of areas. Also, below 95 is below average, and over 110 is above average, however if you score about 120, (it think)then you qualify as a genius, in which case whatch out for those slimy MENSA types. 193.115.175.247 13:53, 6 June 2006 (UTC)Anton

Dear Sir,
I am a non-US citizen civilian interested in the subject of military organization and, to that efect, I have been analizing information about the Tables of Organization and Equipment of the diferent United States Army units.
There are good a number of TOEs published in the web, both in military and non-military webs, among the later in www.fas.org and www.globalsecurity.org. Nonetheless, I haven’t been able to find many other TOEs because, as a special note in those pages informs, their list “includes only combat and direct related major support units”, and does not include “numerous headquarters, maintenance ans other support units which are normally attached to or associated with the listed combat units”.
Althoug TOEs (or at least almost all of them) are nor “restricted” information, I do not know of a web site (or publication source) where all of them are available. Could you informe me of any I could have overlloked?
As a (very) second best, it could be useful to have access to a list of allt TOEs (including the respective TOE number and unit title).
Yours most sincerely,
(Mr) Jorge Navarrete M.

I was just wondering if there was a special name for the "weird" episode previews at the end of episodes in some Japanse anime. I would also like to know why exactly they do that? Or is it just weird translation?
They show images and give comments, usually just short sentences. They are very emotional (sometimes weird compared to the tone of the series) and aren't very specific.
Here is an example of the subtitles during such a preview. Spoilers ahead!
Well "spoilers" : at the end of episode 5 of
Elfen lied :
Anxiety and relief.
Suffering and gentleness.
Uncessant overflowing of mixed feelings.
A contradiction in quality, only one thing can have that meaning,
Comprising of past memories that are... washed by the pouring rain.
Memories that before long, will be quietly washed away.
at the end of the first Kenshin ova, about the second part :
Blue spirit flowers disperse. Blood waves billow. A shadow sighs behind the paper door. Memories of those holding hands, an illusion.
Evilbu 18:36, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I don't know if there's a special name for it but I do know exactly what you're talking about. And no, it's not a mistranslation. As for why they do it ... it's just for something different. Also, this way avoids spoilers ... as it's sufficiently vague to not spoil any of the events of the upcoming episode while still informing you about it. I don't watch previews on American TV because they give away half of the damn upcoming episode. -- Cyde↔Weys 20:27, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks,I guess it's a cultural thing. I have become so used to Western films and series... Watching anime is nice, you learn little differences in culture (like sleeping on the floor). Well about the spoilers, they do show images which spoil a little bit. Still I find it weird, when you watch Elfen lied, it can end spectacularly, an ending song...and then ..so weird, so poetic, it seems like it doesn't fit the tone? Evilbu 20:37, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
How do I link to an image without the image actually appearing?
The example in question is on the Nelson's_Column#Other_monuments_to_Nelson page, where I want to include a link to the picture of one of the other Nelson monuments (and there is no article).
* In the [[Bull Ring, Birmingham]], [[England]], there is a Grade II* [[listed building|listed]] bronze '''[[image:Nelson_Statue_in_Birmingham.jpg|statue of Nelson]]''' by [[Richard Westmacott]], dating from [[1809]].
2. I tried removing "image" from the link, but it just pushes me into an edit of a non-existant page 3. I tried searching the help under "links" but I couldn't find it there (maybe Help needs a link in the "Links" section to the detail.

I have found a math code of more than 60 patterns that form symbols, starting in english, but written in math. I was wondering if anybody has any idea how it could have got there. The math code is at http://inthemath.com but the question is:
one tWo tHree fOur five six Seven Eight Nine Ten
As I understand it languages grew sought of haphazardly, but someone would have had to be skilled in math to get it there.
Road wizard, that would be your first instinct, the second should be to look. Did you see the site? It's free. Try and move the math around, like you moved the letters. And if you noticed, I did not pick letters to suit myself, those words are there.
You answered the question. If there is a code there,the evolution of the language would not account for it. So either I put it there, or it is a coincidende. What other option is there?

I remember playing a board game in which you start off w/ a few pieces, and would either be able to place a new piece in a square adjacent to one of you pieces, or you could jump a space. Any of your opponent's pieces that were adjacent to the new/jumped piece would be turned into your pieces. The main goal is to either completely annihilate your opponents army or trap them so they wouldn't be able to jump over your pieces. On neopets I believe this game is called Armada. Does anyone know the actual name of this game?

This is a question that has been preying on my mind all day. I'll put it as delicately as I can. Usually, when a person of the male gender urinates, he will begin by pointing his appendage towards the toilet, and yet sometimes when the urine emerges, it flies off into a completely different direction (at a very strange angle) and goes on the floor of the bathroom, thus embarrassing himself and infuriating his girlfriend. The strangely-directioned stream lasts barely a second before the piss rights itself, thus following the path originally intended by said male. Why does this happen? What could possibly cause a well aimed stream to fly outward at an angle totally out of sync with its proposed direction? Is it too late to claim that a friend asked me to ask on their behalf?

The system of post codes in the UK is very precise. One post code can, I think, apply to no more than a few houses in a street. It is therefore possible to write just [house number] [post code] on an envelope and the letter will be delivered to the correct address. This is very different from most other countries, where a four- or five-digit post (zip) code covering a much wider area is the norm. (Canada may be similar to the UK.) Why is the UK system so different? In other words, why did the British feel the need for such a precise system when few other countries did? I checked postal code and UK postcodes and there is plenty of detail there, but nothing to answer my specific question. -- Richardrj 12:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

In the past few months someone suggested (at least twice) a converter for sound and/or video files called something like "media encoder" (I'm only sure about the media part) to people who needed something converted, but now I forgot the link and I can't find it in the archives. Can someone remind me of the program and its location? - Mgm| (talk) 18:10, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
There are hundreds of formats (digital file type specifications) for audio and video, and dozens of programs to "convert" from format to format. Some formats can be decoded and re-encoded into the destination format, while others actually have to be played and simultaneously recorded and encoded by the converter program.
Sound formats range from MIDI (like a GIF is to images; best for sustained frequencies and not much level of deatail) to MP3 (the PNG of sound) which is very well-compressed and is good for all types of sound.
Video formats are more varied, and range from Windows AVI (completely uncompressed; enormous filesize) to WMV (windows's video format). Video formats, like audio, can typically be encoded at different framerates and resolutions, and with different video compression codecs (DivX, XviD).
You can get more specific help by providing the file extension of the media you're trying to convert (if the extension is AVI, give the compression codec if possible).

Recently, I visited urbandictionary.com and when I was looking at the defintion of Goth chick, they were showing a picture of a goth chick kissing a punk chick. Can anyone tell me the difference between a goth and a punk?
Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]]) .
Goths are generally depressed, stay indoors, come out at night, hat the world and dress in black, most importantly, they listen tio goth rock music such as Type O Negative, Sisters of mercy, ect. A Punk is a rebel, they hate organizations such as government, and anything that is pretty and nice. more importantly they listen to Punk music such as Offspring, Sexpistols. Sorry to steriotype people so, but it had to be done in the context of the question. And listen to more Slayer! Black metal will rule the world! Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir.
that was so well put, richardrj, goth women are beautiful what with the dark hair, and the pale skin and green eyes and the oh my god(simpsons?)
Hello,
I'm doing research on the war, and I was wondering if anyone could point me to a reference that gives the statistics to Iraqi civilian casualties as a result of a) Insurgency, b) Criminal, c) Genocide related, d) & other general murders due to related type of injustice BEFORE the US invasion in 2003. Particularly in the city of Baghdad, as a response to May's record-setting 1300 or so deaths in the capital. I'm basically just trying to see on a very superficial level the before and afters of the war. Also, if anyone has a detailed account of general social development in Iraq (or just Baghdad) as a result of US or coalition intervention (increase in technology, international trade, medical availability, civil liberties, education, housing, etc.)

Anyway : I am looking for a movie (could be a tv series but I doubt it) where at one point a lot of people are sitting around a table (I think in a bar) and it appeared they were held hostage by one guy, in any case he seems to be the boss there. He is not really threatening them at that point, but forces them to tell things. They pass a cigarette around, everyone smokes, and when it burns up, and stuff falls off, that guy has to tell something.
One guy started to admit he had impotence problems.
Then the 'boss' orders a young woman (I think he called her Candy) to light another cigarette up, and this time a man has to speak up, and I think he has a suitcase of which he refuses to reveal the content.

Can I have the text of the "tell the truth" oaths in a UK court, both the "almighty God" one and the affirmation. Thanks-- Keycard ( talk) 12:05, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
An interesting potential future development from [23] Judges at the Crown Court:
We are wholly in favour of replacing the current oaths for witnesses and jurors with a simple formula that can be used by everybody whatever their religious persuasion or lack of it. Its form must nevertheless be sufficiently solemn to drive home the necessity to abide the promise. This is particularly true in a criminal court where there should be no dilution of the undertaking.
We suggest a witness's oath as follows
"I will tell the truth and I understand that I am liable to prosecution for perjury if I state anything that I know to be false or do not believe to be true."
Jurors oath
"I solemnly undertake to try the defendant and to return a true verdict according to the directions of law that am given and to the evidence that I receive."
[LCD ref: 401]
Interesting that it suggests only telling the truth out of fear of prosecution, not because you 'promise'. More of an acknowledgment than an oath.

I have had sex a number of times with numerous partners, but, not recently: When woman comes up to me and asks me for my phone number or starts touching me, telling me i am sexy ect, i feak. I either just cant think of anything to say, and i end up just running away, this does not help my sex life whatsoever. could some one please tell me how to over come this fear.
Could it be a case of "better latent than never" ? That is, latent homosexuality may cause you to react with fear or disgust towards women. This is most likely if you live in an environment where homosexuality is considered taboo. StuRat 20:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I concur with StuRat. That is the most likely reason.

Hi I've been looking all over the net and have found many conflicting articles. Some say that young children watching over 2 hours of TV will have reduced performance at school, others say that TV is a vital learning resource. Apparently the effects of TV watching on adults is unresearched, though it would seem that the efects would be less than those of children's developing minds. Does anyone know what effects TV has on mental health?
South africa got tv in 1976, before this, most families had at least one musician, as entertainment. People also played ALOT more sport.
I don't see how television would be a vital learning resource. Either they are at an early age before they can read or they can read. At a very early level, gosh, maybe the parents could have the kids play with blocks or teach them basic words like chair and up and down and one and two. Even without this, in this case, it is not television shows that would be good, but educational videos that happen to be played on a television. Or, they are at a more advanced level and are going to learn a lot more by reading. They can read faster or slower depending on their level or their understanding of a particular part, and it expands their vocabulary, quickens the mind, and provides a more sophisticated understanding than that offered in television shows.
The problem with television shows is that the viewer is totally or mostly passive. They are not imagining/picturing or considering what they read; the picture is provided for their and there is no time for consideration when right away the next shot is up on the screen. They are not engaging with other persons, interacting dynamically and learning about people; they are getting a fake impression of what is normal by the caricatured, exaggerated, and simplified emotions and actions of the people on screen. They are not exercising their body; they are sitting, and they are not experiencing life. It's not that the viewer is exposed to dangerous influences, it's that part of their life is spent not in thought or experience or community, it is spent being the receiver of second-hand scenes, somewhat dumbed down to appeal to the average relaxing person sitting after work yes, but more importantly it simply not possible to fit as much thought or experience into a show put together in a couple of weeks and created not as one of many texts spanning a thousand years to stand the test of time, but to gain the highest ratings this month. In no situation is plopping a child in front of the television going to result in an intelligent, strong, focused person. — Centrx→ talk 10:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I just watched On the Waterfront yesterday. For those who don't know, it concerns longshoremen in New York City and the union that they're in. Near the beginning of the movie there's a scene where a boss is picking workers out to unload a ship. While he's picking men, he hands them what looked like a coin or possibly a button. I thought I heard the characters in the movie refer to them as tabs. The men then show these to another man with a clipboard as they enter the warehouse. This man then appears to be writing down what is on this "tab". So my question... What were these little things? What were they for? And what was written on them?

Skittle, why aren't you deleting this entire question, as it is nothing more than a simple expression of misogyny, posed with rather foul language to boot? I'm only asking because I was involved in a rather interesting political debate, which you apparently took it upon yourself to remove, with an admonition something along the lines of: "this discussion seems to have no relation to the original question, and so, as for whatever political debate may spontaneously develop, the RD is not a soapbox...I have therefore removed the entire discussion".
Should I therefore take it that honest, good natured political debate is off limits, (despite that it may have spontaneously developed independent of the original question), yet openly foul-mouthed misogynistic questions are perfectly acceptable?

my friend asked me to ask this. If there is a cloudless sky, why is it that it can be colder or hotter today than it was yesterday, even though yesterdays sky was as clear as todays? in theory, the weather should get progressivly hotter until the summer solstice then colder until the winter equinox.

These commercials run in the US. I notice the gecko talked in the earlier commercials, then went silent (as in the ads with him in a car), then started talking again recently. I suspect this means they had a contract negotiation problem with the original voice actor and either got him back or replaced him with a sound-alike for the later ads.

lsdjbtsrdhq3#' says: What type of government is there in Belarus? - SmarterChild - says: The type of government of Belarus is republic in name, although in fact a dictatorship.

Dear sir/madam, I'm an accountant/student from Sydney. I've been looking for names of Accounting firms in Norway for past few weeks, but have been unsuccessful.
Before I started working in the accounting firm I did google search which returned a list of top 100 accounting firms in Sydney. Then I managed to find the home pages of those companies by doing a name search. I wanted to do the same for Norwegian accouting firms. I've tried Wikipedia and it gave me plenty of information on Norway, but nothing on the names or lists of accounting firms there.
It would be a great if you could help me with this search as I need to look at the profiles of the Norwegian accounting firms in order to apply for jobs there.
Regards, Andrea
Google is your friend. A search of the .no domain for "accounting" yields several sites. Perhaps some of these pages will serve as a starting point.
As an alternative, try contacting the Norwegian embassy. If you tell them you're looking to spend a few years working in Norway, they may give you a list of accountancy firms who take on qualified accountants from other countries. Another possible starting point. -- Howard Train 04:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I have two questions to ask you:
1.In Star Trek, do most of the individual planets(including United Earth) have their own a or do they have a space agency similar to Starfleet or NASA?
2.In most science fictions that talk about world government,space exploration, or aliens, do most of the planets with their own central government have an army or do they have a space agency similar to Starfleet or NASA? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 60.241.147.187 ( talk • contribs) 00:48, June 11, 2006 (UTC)
If aliens existed, I'm sure NASA and other space agencies(or an International Space Agency if one existed) would have fighting against aliens in times of war as one of their duties, though space exploration would continue to be their main mission.But a space navy would have global defence as their main mission, not exploration and research.
I'm not quite sure about Star Trek, but I've read a lot of science fiction and planets (or groups of planets in an empire, federation, whatever) usually have a space navy and space marine and (less often mentioned) army (for occupation of planets). Obviously, it's very common for individual planets in an empire to have their own defense force - usually an army for ground defense and sometimes a wet navy and/or air force (though these are often left out in favor of simply deploying atmosphere capable space forces).

Some Christians in the world not only claim that creation is right and evolution is wrong, but they also claim that the earth is not billions of years old but only 6,000 years old.Those Christians are called the young-earth creationists.I have three questions to ask you about young-earth creationism:
1.The young-earth creationists claim that for some reasons, the six days of Genesis Chapter 1 can only mean six literal 24-hour days.Is that true?
2.They also claim that radio-carbon dating is not very accurate.They claim that it can be contaminated with samples that can distort the result.Is that true?If it is, then how accurate is it?Is it accurate enough to prove that the earth is billions of years old?
3.Many people have criticized the advocates of Intelligent Design for proposing a theory that is not really science.If so, than whether you're creationist or evolutionist,Christian or not; what do you think about these more radical creationists?

.1 no, they relate to God-years, In hinduism (if one is willing to look at the correlation between our differing rligions) one will notice that one day for God or the Brahma relates to many thousands of years for us, this is better explained in A Treatise on Cosmic Fire by Alice Bailey, i will see if i can dig up the relative passage for you....hence, ill be back. oh, and carbondating is pretty accurate, it can be contaminated, but if 100 000 samples all say the same thing, are they all wrong, i think not. 193.115.175.247 13:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I have left my book at home, but will answer the first part of tour question fully tomorow. 1 year of the brahma equals 432000 years of man. 193.115.175.247 15:08, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
While radiocarbon dating cannot prove the age of the Earth beyond aprox. 60,000 years, using other elements, scientists can prove the Earth is far older than 60,000 years; closer to 4.5 billion years, in fact. See Age of the Earth. zafiroblue05 | Talk 00:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
the days in the bible are correlatted as follows. The various eastern philisophical deities correspond to varios hirachies of angels and demonds all the way up to the supreme being which is the same in most monothiestic religions: 360 days of a human egauls 1 year krita yuga contains 1,728,000 years tetra yuga contains 1,296,000 years dwarpa yuga contains 864,000 years kali yuga contains 432,000 years the total of the said four yugas constitute a maha yuga 4,320,000 years 71 of such maha yugas form the period of the reign of 1 manu 306,720,000 intervals between the reign of each manu which is equal to 6 manu yugas is 25,920,000 the total of the reigns and the interrgnums of 14 manus is 1000 mahu yugas which constitute a kalpa or one day of the brahma 4,320,000,000 But the Brahmas night is of equal duration (the rotation of the sun with its binary dual) there fore one day and night of the Brahma is equal to 4,640,000,000 years 360 of such days constitute one year of the brahma or 3,110,400,000,000 human/mortal years
I hope this will help you in answering your question concerning the 6 days of creation if this does not make scence to you, read A treatise on sosmic fire by alic bailey. Futher more, thanks for asking, i really enjoyed answering. Anton 10:15, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to hog the answers, but if one reads Darwins' Origin of Species, it is quite clear that evolution is fact. One only needs to look at your dog, and ask why it is not a wolf. Then fibally to answer the last part of your question. While being brought up christian myself, though not stick. It is clear that if one looks at various aspects of the neo-christian evangelist movement currently sweeping the united states, Evangelistic Christianity is much more akin to a cult than to Christianity, this may offend some, i realise, but more importantly, it should scare most, as due to the USA's foreign policy... I have heard them referred to as Gods New Army.
Miscellaneous seems to fit my question(s). I'm not sure if it's technologic or computer science related.
I've been planning my reinstallation of Windows XP, but I am still a bit nervous that I may mess up. I've never reinstalled it, and it has been two years since I've bought my computer. The reason for the reinstallation is that I want to see if there is an improvement in overall computer quality. I've been reading TweakingCompanion 3.1 and downloaded the recommended software to ensure proper installation. But I have some questions concerning the process. (They are after the specifications, so you can just scroll down then reference the specs as needed.) Here are my computer specifications:
I have a new maxtor 200 gb 2.0 usb hard drive that I plan on using. I am going to make a backup of my current hard drive onto the hard drive in case I mess up. I have the sound blaster audigy drivers, the monitor drivers, and two other cds with drivers.
Do you know of any good software (freeware) that I can use to create backup drivers of the drivers I already have installed on the computer, for further caution? I also downloaded ERUNT to create registry backups. I have the Dell MS Windows XP Pro SP 1a Operating System on a CD to reinstall. One concern that I have is that I do not have a floppy for the RAID 0 volume that I plan to keep when I reinstall. Is there a guide to making one of these floppies? (82801ER SATA RAID Controller)
Also, does a computer that is around two years old need a BIOS update?
So my overall plan is that I will reinstall windows with the RAID 0 volume configured, then transfer some of the files from the external maxtor drive back to the computer for my normal use.
If I decide later on, will I still be able to install another operating system (perhaps Linux) so that it will be a dual booting computer? This is because I heard it is bad to reinstall windows many times especially in a short time period. I'm not sure why though.
Finally, do you see any flaws in my thinking? Will my reinstallation process be successful? If you know of any freeware that will provide me with necessary software for backing up drivers, or making my reinstallation easier, or that will provide me with a more detailed checklist, I will be eternally grateful.
I've been searching on google for guides and have come across some good ones, but before I potentially mess up my computer, I would like advice from fellow Wikipedians. ;o
Thanks for your help. (Anecdotes of your past XP reinstallions might help if you can't specifically answer any one of my questions.)
I have my computer specifications if you need them. This is somewhat the "universal" method of relaying your computer specifications for computer help:

My girlfriend is majoring in Psychology and is considering going to either Med School to get an M.D. or graduate school to get a Ph.D (or just getting her B.S. degree). She's leaning toward Med School, but is uncertain that's what she wants to do. I would like to give her some advice, but I don't know much about the difference in career opportunities from a Ph.D & MD degrees. Also, how much should she be able to expect to make, and will she have difficulty finding a job due to over-saturation in the marketplace? It seems like a lot of people major in psychology, so I am tempted to advise her to change her major to business or something more practical. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am an engineer and my fiancee is going to be a physcologist/physcritrist shrink. To me it seems very hard to find a job in a specified area--It seems like every time I have changed or have had an opportunity to change jobs, I have had to re-locate. In a situation where two people are living together, their career search must be limited to the same area as their companion--this seems highly restrictive. What can a couple do to deal with this, especially if they expect to change jobs/ presue opportunities rather frequently?

There's an old story about a group of students who were all goven a barometer and told to work out the height of a particular tall building using it. The geography student found the difference in atmospheric pressure between the top and the bottom of the building and calculated it from that. The geometry student measured the barometer's height, the length of its shadow and the length of the building's shadow, and calculated it from that. The physics student dropped the barometer off the top of the building and timed its fall, and calculated it from that. And the commerce student visited the building's caretaker and said "I'll give you this nice barometer if you tell me how tall the building is!" Grutness... wha? 01:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I am concerned about the effeciency caused by the abundance of articles deleted every day due to ambiguity about what is an acceptable article, particularly the notion of non-notability. Such articles should either never be created in the first place (saving editors time) or not be deleted (improving content). Regardless of what this might be, WP needs a better, comprehensive policy addressing notability. How can I contribute/start to this process? -- Ephilei 01:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Let me rephrase this: I'm not so concerned about users making absurd articles that are deleted; I am concerned with users, like myself, who have read all the pertinent policies and guidelines, put time into an article, and then editors of one 'opinion decide the article isn't worthy because it's nn. this article, for example. The article is on a non-notable subject but does not violate any official policy. (It does violate Wikipedia:Notability, but that's not a policy or even a guideline.) I am not on a quest to undelete this article; but as the whole process was frustrating and seems inconsistent with Jimbo's philosophy of inclusion, I'd like help improve the lack of policy about non-notability. I've spent some time searching AfD and voicing my opinion in order to change individual outcomes and set precedence (or rather, try to reverse the deletionist precedence) but this has seemed an inefficient use of time and helps nothing in the long run. I'm not looking for a debate here, I'm looking to help create policy. Even if the created policy ends up being the opposite of my own inclusionist opinion, it is better to have an inclusive, logical, and thorough discussion that we can agree was conducted properly instead of working thru the unofficial nn precedents. Where/how can this take place? -- Ephilei 00:39, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I am trying to find the meaning of the word "entoleted", it is some process or treatment applied to wheat flour before distribution.
I have searched the net, online dicionaries etc. but can not discover what it actually means.
I would be grateful if you could find an answer.
Thanks, Bill
The Infestation Destroyer (EID®) was designed by Entoleter and tested in conjuction with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Thousands of Entoleter Infestation Destroyers in mills worldwide confirm the efficiency of the unique EID centrifugal impact machine to destroy eggs, larvae, and mature infestation in flour and other grain products with a 100% effective kill rate. The importance of the EID in the flour milling industry is clear – “entoleting the flour” has long been a generic term that originated with the use of Entoleter’s Infestation Destroyer over several generations. Principle of Operation: A high-speed rotor is the only moving part in the processing zone of the Entoleter mill. Feed materials enter the rotor from the inlet(s) located at the top of the mill.As material enters the rotor, it is thrown outward due to the centrifugal force of the spinning rotor. The processed material then spirals to the bottom of the conical discharge hopper and out to conveyors or bins. [29]
"At this point, the wheat may be processed in an Entoleter, a trade name for a device with rapidly spinning disks which hurl the grains of wheat against small metal pins. Those grains which crack are considered to be unsuitable for grinding and are removed." [30]
I've been working a bit on modifying and editing the List of Portable Applications article, though it is no where near complete and have come to the conclusion that it may need a number of changes to ensure the it's accuracy, usability, and precision. The word "applications" in the title of the article is too general in that while it refers to software in its most general sense, other definitions include a wide range of topics. The term "Applications Software' is more specific and less open to interpretation which I believe would allow users seeking information on the subject an easier time finding it since both the terms "applications" and "software would come up in search. Additionally the article has become extremely unwieldly, topping 50kb with only minimal new additions. It would seem appropriate that the article be split into several categories along the lines of the Application Software article. How would I go about implementing this and who if anyone do I need to ask permission before going ahead with the above actions? -- WalksWithGrizzlies 15:52, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

When a batter hits the ball and it ends in an out, whether it is a ground out, force out, pop up or line drive out, regarding the pitcher, is the pitch added to his pitch count as a strike or a ball?
Alternatively, if the batter hits the ball and reaches safely due a clean hit or an error, does the pitch count get recorded as a ball or a strike?
Thanks!

Thanks ESKOG...that's the answer I was looking for to record an accurate ball and strike count for a pitcher's statistics. I hadn't thought about the wild pitch or HBP so thanks for that extra piece of information too.*

Of course, nothing about the color itself affects the crash rate, but some color has to be on top. And it's not really random; that's just the way all the nonrandom events turned out. So what is this called? Is there an article on this? -- Froth 00:43, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I think you might fail to realize that when the Reader says "statistically less probable" it means just that -- it doesn't mean "it just so happens that over the past x years, out of x million crashes, this color comes up a few dozen (but statistically insignifacant) times more often". I think you assumption Of course, nothing about the color itself affects the crash rate, but some color has to be on top is mistaken: no color "has" to come up on top by a statistically significant margin, as the Reader stated. (Btw as a rough approximation the square root of the sample size is what would be significant. So, while we would expect a given set of 10,000 coin tosses (starting now, for instance) not to result in exactly 5,000 heads and 5,000 tails (we "expect" one to come up on top), we do not expect this happen by a statistically significant margin. In order for one side to be "statistically less probable" [the phrase you copied from the Reader] one would have to come out on top by 100 out of the 10,000. So if you go ahead and toss a coin 100 times now, then 47 to 53 isn't an unusual result, but 42 to 58 is very unusual and implies you don't have a fair coin. If you toss your coin 100 times twice in a row, and heads wins 58 to 42 one time and 57 to 43 the next, you can be pretty darned sure the coin isn't being random enough. However, 54 to 46 and again 57 to 43 do not imply the same result [since the deviation is less than about the square root of 100, which is 10]. Indeed, this isn't unexpected: I guarantee you $1,000,000 to $10 that if you throw any "fair" coin 5 times it won't come up 50% heads and 50% tails. :)
A separate issue is that people don't get a random color car, so the color not only might effect accidents (not just because of visibility reasons, but the effect could be psychological on the driver -- driving a red car makes you more daring or something), it could also reflect something else, like safer drivers prefer psychologically safer colors, and therefore buy them. For example, if Ford introduced a color scheme almost identical to a black they have now, with the difference that it clearly shows a pirate (skullbones, etc) overlay, I would expect less safe people to prefer buying them. In this case, it isnt the color that causes accidents, rather the accident rate is reflected in the choice of color, which wouldnt happen if people were given a random color car (the color would still affect visibility, psychology of driver and oncoming drivers, etc). So statistically significant isn't enough to show causality one way or another, but if people got randomized colors it sure would be, and poring over accident statistics when Ford went from "any color as long as it's black" to real color choice should prove interesting, especially if somehow some people randomly got a non-black color (werent self-chosen into the new colors pool).
etc etc. any other questions? [Recap: "statistically significant" means something, and it's not that "one color HAS to come up on top" -- it doesn't have to: it could be about even for each color.]

---As an ex-new Wikipedian myself, (can you believe that such a creature can be allowed to exist?), I would caution you not to be too offended by respondents to any questions you might pose, using non-English expressions such as "suitly emphasi" or similar, which clearly serves only to emphasi their natural superiority over your own understandable ignorance of Wikipedia, and doesn't fulfil the commonly accepted purpose of an encyclopaedia, which is of course, to harvest, store, and disseminate information to those seeking enlightenment. Otherwise, you will, I feel sure, discover many extremely helpful respondents who don't behave in such a high handed and crass manner, but who instead, bend over backwards to either answer your questions directly, or else direct you to other sources of reliable reference. To that latter group, let me say how reassuring it is to know that you by far exceed in number, those sad and unfortunate members of the former group, who should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves for attempting to belittle the efforts of others who are openly and honestly attempting to avail themselves of knowledge and information from a (new to them)previously undiscovered and rich seam of such material.

Why do Korean people use so many stainless steel eating utensils? Other than spoons and forks, many Koreans use steel bowls and chopsticks. In most Asian countries, these items are made of earthware, porcelain, wood, bamboo or plastics -- anything but metal because it's much easier to manufacture non-metal bowls and chopsticks. Some Korean chopsticks are nothing but two pieces of flat stainless steel. I don't think it's Korean tradition because stainless steel was only invented less than 100 years ago. Did the South Korean government encourage people to use stanless steel utensils as a way to strengthen national metal industry? -- Toytoy 07:01, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I don't know if I am really meaning Misery, but my English studies teacher was talking about it. The book is, to cut a long story short, about a woman who murders her husband with some meat (a large piece of lamb, I think). She then, after murdering her husband, goes down to the shops etc and when she returns acts as though she doesn't know what has happened. She then cooks the lamb (or whatever animal it was) and phones the police. The police come to investigate, but serves the lamb to the police officer, and thus gets rid of the murder weapon. Does anybody know what book this is? Thanks, K ilo-Lima| (talk) 15:51, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

1) What are some reasons football (soccer) does not have much popularity in America? 2) Why is it the most popular sport for kids, but much lower in the sport rankings for adults? Reywas92 16:15, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Has it occured to anyone that soccer is very popular with kids because its such an incredibly simple sport? The basics of soccer are so incredibly easy to understand. Think about it, what's easier for your little 5 year old munchkin to understand, the basics of soccer: "Run after the ball, kick the ball, and try to kick it inside that square thing with the net behind it. If you do then yay!!!!! your team gets a point. Oh, and don't use your hands" -- or the basics of baseball: "Stand in the batter's box and try to swing the bat and hit the ball whenever it's thrown inside a little imaginary box that stretches from your armpits to your knees in height, and is the width of that odd shaped five sided flat thing on the ground. If you hit the ball and it lands between the two white lines drawn on the field that form a 90 degree angle, the hit is considered "fair", whereas if it falls outside, it's foul. If the ball is caught by a player of the opposing team, whether fair or foul, before touching the ground, you're "out", with the exception of when it's caught by that very heavily padded guy behind you, in which case it must have flown in the air at least six feet after your bat touched it for it to be considered an out. The exception to that exception is that if you happen to have two strikes agianst you (a whole other topic), and the heavily padded guy behind you catches it, if your bat has only slightly touched the ball and it hasn't flown over six feet into the air, you're still out." And what I've just gone through is probably just about 2% of the rules of baseball! Young kids love soccer because it's fun and simple. It's American adults that prefer more complicated sports. In fact soccer is EXTREMELY popular among American children. What's more North American than a good old soccer-mom using her mini-van to drive her kid to soccer-practice? Loomis51 20:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Are you sure you're not confusing cricket with baseball? I'm not saying complicated=good and simple=bad. That would imply that I like American/Canadian football, which in fact I cannot stand, while I would tend to dislike hockey, a significantly simpler sport than American football, which I in fact like. But to say that baseball is a simple sport, love it or hate it, is extremely innacurate. The "official rules of baseball" are practically as thick as the telephone book of a small town, whilst there simply aren't enough details and rules to football to require the sacrifice of a good part of a tree. In any case, say what you will about baseball. It's my sport and I love it. But you mention boring: How else would you describe watching a couple of dozen grown men kick around a ball, for what seems like hours, with the score often remaining nil-nil?
Ah, yes, the great question of our time. Why do Americans and Brits listen to the same music and watch the same movies but play different sports?
Actually, it's a fairly easy question. Most American sports fans think soccer is boring. The real question is why do American sports fans think soccer is boring when Brazilians and Mexicans and Italians think it's the most exciting thing in the world?
My own personal opinion is that Americans are used to sports where people run at full speed for short periods of time. Soccer appears to Americans to be a much slower game. There appears to be a lot of kicking the ball around midfield, jogging and looping crosses that seem to hang in the air forever. To a British person, American football might seem boring because the players spend a lot of time standing around in huddles. An American-football fan would say that the time in between plays doesn't count, but what's important is that whenever the ball is in play, players are running at full speed. Basically, soccer is more like watching a marathon, while American sports are more like watching a series of 100-meter dashes.
The other thing that differentiates American sports from soccer (and rugby) is that American sports, especially football and baseball, are divided into dozens of individual "plays" rather than spread out over 90 minutes. This creates several games-within-games. In American football, for example, you only get four chances to move the ball 10 yards, so every few plays, there is either a victory for the offense or the defense. From an American's perspective, something is always happening in a football or baseball game, while all that happens in soccer is about one goal every for 45 minutes of game play.
Finally, the fragmented nature of American sports allow for far more strategizing than soccer appears to have. Before each play of an American-football game, each team will choose one of dozens of plays from its playbook. The coach factors in things like the down, distance, field position, time remaining, score, etc., in choosing which play to run. This strategizing is what makes football football. A fake field goal that goes for a touchdown isn't a particularly amazing athletic feat, but the surprise factor and the chutzpah of the play call make it really exciting to fans. Soccer is a very different sport. Americans aren't used to watching athletics for sheer athleticism.
I don't think it's a coincidence that when you rank the "big four" American sports by popularity -- football, baseball, basketball, hockey -- you're also ranking them by increasing levels of spontaneity. It's also no surprise that basketball and hockey, the most spontaneous of the American sports, are also the ones popular in parts of Europe. -- Mwalcoff 01:18, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
The reason football is so widely played across the world is almost undoubtedly because all you require is a ball. The 'pitch' can be any size, it needn't necessarily be square, and jumpers can be used for goalposts - assuming you even bother with goals. Kids in America have far less time on their own than elsewhere in the world - their so-called "free time" is more regimented and timetabled by their parents than in other countries, and they are far less likely to be allowed to play in the street or in a park unsupervised than in Brazil or England. So they have less experience of the simple joy of a kickabout. What soccer they do play is tightly controlled by adults, with all the pressure that implies, and when you're doing that you might as well play rugby/American football or baseball/cricket. -- Sam Blanning (talk) 11:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

What would be the correct way to wire a 3 prong 1/8" stereo phone plug (like what you use for many headphones) to two RCA plugs (left and right). Obviously you've got 4 wires among the two RCA plugs and they need to be wired to the 3 prongs of the 1/8" phone plug. (I'm using Radio Shack phone plugs). There are two solder terminals across from each other and then the longer shank (which I believe is the ground). Do you take the left + of the RCA to the respective left teminal on the phone and likewise with the right +, and then finally connect BOTH left and right - (grounds) to the shaft? Will you still get stereo? Thanks in advance.

My friend had a game where one could place a bowling ball, then below place bellows, then in front place an arrow and then a baloon, then place a lever that holds a cage, then place a mouse. You then press play and hey presto! the bowling ball falls onto the bellows which blow the arrow into the string of the balloon which then floats up and switches the lever to drop the cage on the mouse. This is only one of many man combinations that could be done, one could use any of the devises in a cartoon type situation to do just about anything from catching mice to blowing up the dynamite to ect ect ect. does any one know what this game was and where i can get a copy, it was really small and was able to fit one a stiffy disk. thanks

I was using partition magic to partition my files. I decided on a clean install of windows xp and had previously made a backup of my files on a 200gb maxtor drive.

My backup is technically not my backup anymore since it contains everything I have. It was made using the Windows backup utility. So it is a .bkf file.
