Hii... This might seem to be weird.. but everytime i get a feeling of deja-vu... i get a nauseating feeling in my stomach and my head spins a little.... it only lasts for a second or two.... and then i feel completely fine again.... i've had this for years... and when i was a kid i actually used to vomit from the nausea... even though now its not much of a problem anymore i still wonder why it happens to me... i've asked a lot of people but even though they told me about their deja-vu expiriences...none of them have ever reported the sickness acompanying it.... just wondered if you can help me find an answer......i checked the article too..nothing in it... Thanks a lot

Hi, I would like to know what does some sites gain by telling u that when u register then send an invitation to this site to a number of people u'd win a certain prize? Do they really give these prizes? It sound weird because this site doesn't contain any other material than the winning subject. Thx Yasmeen
Some are no doubt completely fraudulent offers. The company that makes the offer is in some country with lax law enforcement, so they get away with it. In other cases the offer is legit, but you must do something to get the prize, like fill out a lengthy survey. If they say you "could" win a prize, that means you have only a slight chance of winning, in addition to having to do crap. StuRat 00:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

The list of special forces units article state that the Nighthawks Force ( Taiwan) is a counter-decapitation unit. What exactly does it mean?
This appears to be a very Taiwanese term (on Google) as in: "Decapitation strategies short-circuit command and control systems, wipe out nationwide nerve centers and leave the opponent hopelessly immobilized. Many military observers say China is very likely to use this strategy to invade Taiwan by seizing its center of power, Taipei and its top leaders." -- Zeizmic 02:45, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Whenever I take my dog (a bichon frise) for a drive, he sticks his head out of the car window. I immediately close the windows, but I'm wondering why he does this? Does he like the wind in his ears, is he trying to see something, or is he delightfully quirky?

Please note that the above statement is incorrect. RUOK®, Are You OK?®, Are YOu Okay?®, etc is a registered trademark of Bruce L Johnson for a compterized telephone reassurance system and not a "common name" sor such a service.
Please remove or amend your article to reflect this legal infringement on my Registered Trademark.

Please not your own statement below that "Content must not vilate any copyright" (ruok® is copyrighted as well) "and must be verifiable."

Dear Sir, We at Wikipedia realize that you have a serious problem. It seems that a simple Google search turns out all sorts of sites that use RUOK in a generic manner, including the name of a music band. As you are aware, the common use of a term weakens any claim of trademark (not copyright). We suggest that you have a lawyer send registered letters to all of these people.

When I was born in England in 1935 my mother contracted Puerperal fever. I would like to know what medical treatment was given to patients suffering from Puerperal fever at that time. My mother was ill for 5 years and part of this time she was confined in a facility for the mentally ill. I cannot understand why this was done to her. I hope you can find something in your archives that will shed some light on this subject -- Diana1 20:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Puerperal fever is a bacterial infection contracted during childbirth due to tearing and disruption of membranes and normal immune defenses. There were no effective antibiotics in the 1930s. Women would either run a fever for a few days and then recover gradually (typically days to weeks), or die. It was a leading cause of maternal death in the days following childbirth. If you want to find out what the standard treatment was, look up puerperal fever in a British obstetric textbook from the 1930s. If you live in England you should have little trouble finding a hospital or medical school library that still has one you could look at. You can also find them in old book stores. I cannot think of any way that it could result in 5 years of illness culminating with involuntary confinement in a mental institution. Your family understandably dates the trouble to her childbirth, but the long term problems are likely not attributable to the puerperal fever. alteripse 20:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps yopur mother had some kind of mental problem as well as puerperal fever, like post-partum depression or something? (Not to say she was nuts or anything.)

I have four questions to ask you about homosexuality:
1.Christians say that homosexuality is morally wrong.By that, are they saying or do they mean that it is wrong for a person to fall in love with someone of his or her same gender?
2.What do Christians(and other religious believers against homosexuality) believe causes homosexuality?
3.I've heard some people say that homosexuality is probably caused by one's genes.But have biologists actually discovered any genes that causes homosexuality?
4.If homosexuality is caused by one's genes, then that raises the question of why some people have those genes.It is unlikely that homosexuality is inherited, and even if it is, there still remains the question of what had caused those 'gay genes' in the first place.So this raises an interesting question: Could it be possible that homosexuality is caused by some kind of genetic mutation?
Bowei 23:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
The life goal of every species on this planet is to reproduce. Two males cannot reproduce by themselves, neither can females, therefore homosexuality is not wat was intended for the human species; it is wrong. A shoe isnt intended to go on another shoe, that would be just wrong, it doesn't fulfil anything. Rather it is meant to go on a foot, where is can serve its purpose. I know this is a terrible example, its all i can be bothered thinking of right now as i looked at my feet for inspiration. But the same goes for people. A male and a female go together to serve a purpose. Two people of the same gender have no purpose. This doesn't tell u that homosexuality is morally wrong, all i am implying that there is no need for it. from a Christian persective it is morally wrong. but then let me remind u that the sin of homosexuality isnt any worse than say stealing candy. They are both equally as bad as each other and will both result in the person spending eternity in hell if they do not ask for forgiveness from God. And if any Christian or church claims that homosexuality is acceptable they are not truly Christians, rather they have created a new religion separate from Christianity.

Are there any search engines that allow one to include/exclude punctuation such as hyphens? I would, for example, like to be able to search for "hip hop" -"hip-hop"
or "hip-hop" -"hip hop"
, to determine which use is prevalent. Google says that "Because some people spell hyphenated words with a hyphen and others with a space, Google searches for variations on any hyphenated terms."
[3] The
Open Directory Project search does differentiate between the two; although it returns no results for "hip hop" NOT "hip-hop"
or "hip-hop" NOT "hip hop"
, it gives 1165 pages for
hip hop
and 913 for
hip-hop
. Even this differentiation would be useful, if a web-wide engine had it.

Sometime in the past month or so, I came across a wikipedia user page containing a nice rant about use of words like "popular" and "widely held" in wikipedia articles, as in "Brad Pitt is widely held to be one of the most popular actors." Anybody know who that user might have been? I think I wanna join their quest. (I'm hardly the first to point this out, but: statements asserting popularity are exquisitely unencyclopedic and vacuous. If the statement is true and the subject is popular, the reader probably already knows this and doesn't need to be told. If the reader doesn't know that the subject is popular, they should be learning this fact in e.g. People magazine, not an encyclopedia; encyclopedias are not arbiters of popularity.) — Steve Summit ( talk) 15:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

page_random
) which is a random number between 0 and 1. When you ask for a random page, another random number between 0 and 1 is generated and the page with a page_random
value above the chosen value and nearest it is selected. This causes a bias due to the distribution of the page_random
field on the database; if there's a relatively large gap on the numbers, the page with the value just above the gap has a greater chance to get selected. If two pages have close numbers, the one with the greater number has a smaller chance to get selected. Thus, each page has a probability of being chosen which is equal to the difference between its page_random
value and the next lowest page_random
value.page_random
values were equally spaced, this would be the same as a uniform distribution; however, to maintain them equally spaced would require the whole table to be updated every time a page is created or removed. Instead, the number is randomly chosen (with a uniform distribution). Some pages end up having a greater chance of being returned than others. --
cesarb 19:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)Thanks, cesarb, for the clarification in response to my earlier comment. I see what you mean now. It didn't occur to me that a random real number would be used to decide between a fixed set of choices. I imagine instead that the server could maintain an "indexed sequential" type of data structure -- equivalent to a sequential list of all N articles now existing, but with a way to quickly find the Kth entry. A simple sequential list might also do, depending on performance issues; I have no idea how often this function is used. Anyway, the algorithm then would be to simply use the PRNG to select a random integer K from 1 to N (or 0 to N-1), then display article number K -- and if it didn't exist (because it was deleted since the list was updated), just try again. At convenient intervals (perhaps hourly), the list and associated data structure would be updated to add new articles and delete deleted ones, based on logs kept of these events. Seems simple enough to me, and better than the non-uniform method described above, but then I'm not the one who would be implementing it.--Anonymous, 01:16 UTC, March 8, 2006.

I recently perchased what the pet store called a halloween crab. They told me he eats hermit crab food and he's just like a hermit crab. After several days of living in my terrarium set-up he hasn't eaten anything. I have 2 dishes of water, one with salt water and one with fresh. It appears that he is drinking the salt water almost dry and not really paying any attention to the fresh. I should have researched his species further, but the pet store owner convinced me that he was just like a hermit crab and did not require a lot of water. I have him in a 10-gallon tank now, but if necessary, I could move him to a 20-gallon with more water. I need to know what kind of food he will eat, raw fish, raw prawns, cooked prawns, cooked fish??? He's not even interested in the hermit crab food.

A friend of mine always has his radio, CD player, TV and DVD player “on”. When he is not using the appliance he just turn the volume down. He says that every time you turn them on and off you damage them more than keeping them “on” all the time. As an example he says that the video stores never turn off the TV‘s off.
So my question is: Is better for a house appliance to turn it “on” and “off” every time is going to be used or is better to leave it “on” all the time? per LG.
Leaving aside the ecological view point that is highly appreciated and valued, can someone answer the original question: Is better for a house appliance (i.e. tv, dvd player, stereo) to turn it “on” and “off” every time is going to be used or is better to leave it “on” all the time? Lg

You're not asking about this, but it seems useful info here. An international signalling standard (for search planes overhead) is to raise both hands for a 'yes', in this case meaning "yes, I need assistance". Raising one hand means 'no' ("I don't need assistance", in other words "I'm ok"). This coincides nicely with how people would normally react; waving frantically with both hands when they're in trouble and casually waving with one hand when everything's fine. And another way to remember this is that standing still and straight (the way you're supposed to signal) with both hands raised your body forms a 'y' for 'yes. DirkvdM 09:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
In Japan, the money sign is the reverse of the OK sign, so your palm is facing up and your three loose fingers point to the side (or close to the side). Most young people would understand the regular OK sign as OK, although it's more common to make a giant O with your arms (just imagine if the song was called YMCO). If you made the regular OK sign to an old person they'd probably try to correct you, or pretend to understand but instead just ignore you. freshgavin ΓΛĿЌ 06:05, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia.
I note that there are EXTERNAL LINKS in various articles; for example in the Paris Travel section 'Nightlife' there are external links to the web sites of various bars and other commercial entertainment establishments.
I provide rental apartment accommodation for visitors to Paris and other European cities and I would like to place an external link to my web site in an appropriate place in the articles. I would like to know how to do this.
I would be very happy to provide related articles and co-related links to Wikipedia from my own website. Please advise. Thank you.

Am I correct in my understanding that provided that there is an intellectually valuable contribution to the content, it is up to the contributor to insert links if they wish in Wikitravel pieces? I was intrigued to note that following my original enquiry yesterday which used for example the presence of external links to the web sites of some bars and other commercial establishments, that the entire section 'Nightlife' seems to have been removed. Could this be a prudish reaction to the subject matter?

In the early 20th Century, when were fantasy films popular and why were they?
This isn't homework, I'm just curious. If a nuclear war wiped out all life, land and nations north of the equator, what would be the political and social effects to the inhabitants and nations south of the equator? I know we can only speculate but I think it's interesting. I'm especially curious as to which country would become the new superpower, Australia or Brazil.
Assuming that some weird other cause would totally wipe out humanity in the Northern Hemispere and leave the Southern hemisphere totally intact, with the equator being a sharp 'cut-off line' (or what should I call that?). Then Indonesia (or rather Java) would have something like 1/3 of the remaining population. Since much of the wealth countries have depends on international trade and most of that will be lost with the major economies lost, these southern economies would collapse and they would all have to start from scratch (well, not entirely of course, but there will be a strong effect along those lines). And then the population numbers will become a decisive factor. So my bet would be on Indonesia. Or would indigenous natural resources be decisive? In that case Congo would be a strong contender (no, not South Africa - who needs gold and diamonds in a survival situation?). Of course we can come up with all sorts of variations on this. What if all 'rich' countries would cease to exist? Or all land below 1 km would be flooded? DirkvdM 09:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
In a survival situation any country which can't feed its own population is pretty much fucked. In that scenario Brazil seems quite strong. The question remains unanswerable though - too many variables. Celcius 03:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Growning up in the 1950 I was told that you could have milk and fish at the same time I am from Ohio and a Friend that is in Texas said the same thing wanted to know why
Some Jewish religious authorities forbid the eating of fish together with milk, on the grounds that it is a danger to health. (Bet Yosef on Tur, Yoreh Deah chapter 87). Others however say that this ruling arose as a result of a scribal error and it is therefore permitted to eat the two together. (Shach on Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah chapter 87 paragraph 5).

I think it focused on pointing out flaws in arguments and where people get the facts wrong or something.

This question is about Delirium (DC Comics) and The Dalemark Quartet by Diana Wynne Jones.
So I was reading The Sandman Companion by Hy Bender, and in the bit about Delirium's origins, Gaiman mentions someone named Tanaqui C Weaver. The name hit a huge OMG ote with me - I'm a fan of Gaiman and DWJ, and I've followed the endless connections in-between their works (Nichothodes in Deep Secret, Eight Days of Luke/American Gods, Stardust/Half of DWJ's stuff, Hexwood), and now I see a new one - Tanaqui the weaver/witch from The Spellcoats, and this real-life person.
So, my question(s) is(are), does anyone know anything about who this person is? A writer, or an aquantiance? And was the book-Tanaqui named after the real-Tanaqui, or was it the other way 'round? Or is Tanaqui a real name?
(Apologies for the giant muddled fannish paragraph of doom.) Ductape Daredevil 04:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, she is a real person. Tanaqui C. Weaver named herself after the Diana Wynne Jones character. She has a long history of being an active member of the Oxford University Science Fiction Club. She is also the Tanaqui credited by Philip Pullman for bringing supplies of the right sort of paper, enabling him to finish writing The Amber Spyglass.

Hi,
I was at my colleague's place for dinner and we were discussing lot of things. I was asked the following question during the discussion. In America, everything is measured in English units (e.g. ounces, pounds, etc) but we see bottles of soda (e.g. coca-cola) marked in "liter (or litre)". Why just the soda bottles are marked in litre, which is metric system? Could you please let me know?
Thanks in advance,
GS
My guess is because Coca-Cola is produced and sold worldwide, and more countries use the metric system, so they can use the same label.--anonymuck
The above guess is just wrong. Different countries have different labeling laws, which are likely to require things like nutritional information and ingredient lists in the local language or languages.
I think the actual explanation is that there was a program to introduce metric measure into general use in the US around 1975, the same as in Canada; but it lost political support and not much was done. If the Coca-Cola company (or one of its competitors) was introducing a new size of large bottle around that time, they may have decided to make it metric because if they didn't then they'd only have to change it when the conversion process was complete. When the new size caught on, the industry stayed with metric for other large sizes. This also is only a guess, but it makes sense. --Anonymous, 07:49 UTC [or in metric: 28.14 ks :-)], March 12, 2006.

Isn't it stupid to practice refund theft?
You may get some goods but you leave a highly visible trail that can come back to haunt you. If you're a Target executive, you have a list of stolen goods (you check your stocked items quarterly, don't you?) from all shops, a list of refund records from all shops, you can easily create a list of suspects. And then you keep an eye on them if they come again.
Let's say if Allen buys an expensive DVD recorder today and he's on the watchlist, you can ask your guys to mark the other DVD recorders (one dirt cheap RFID tag would be good enough). If Allen takes a marked DVD recorder to the counter and asks for refund, call the police.

[After above five edit conflicts!] According to the Daily Mail a few days ago (a very Conservative and pro-George W.

I accidentally ran into this mixture of views, and I really don’t want to alter the opinion people have about US Government Affairs. I am an eight year USMC Vet including half of my enlistment in the thick of things overseas in Iraq. I have had duty handling detainees, and I agree that some of them do not deserve to be there. Generally they are treated well, and I am not allowed to disclose any specific techniques for "Information Extraction" But I have never seen anything quite that cruel. Unfortunately when trying to get any information from some of these people; being nice doesn’t really work all that well. For that matter just keeping them well behaved you have to show them there are consequences to acting out. They are not imprisoned (Innocent or otherwise) to be hugged, and well loved. I can hardly see myself condoning torture, or abuse to someone who is imprisoned. I was appalled by the actions of that demented Army girl who built naked Iraqi Pyramids, and there is no doubt in my mind that other similar incidents have happened numerous times by individual service members. People do abuse their power when they are ignorant. To say that George Bush is directly involved with torture techniques is all a bit ridiculous in my mind. I am not a pro or a con when it comes to our commander and chief, he disappoints me half the time and impresses me the other half. He gets blamed for everything from terrorist attacks to hurricanes which almost makes it seem as if people believe he has some God like ability to snap his fingers and fix the world if he wants to, but chooses not to. When he waited a month to declare official war the world screamed, “What’s taking you so long?” Many of those same people seem to have forgotten the thousands of American lives Jihads (Whatever you want to call them) have ended since the late seventies and now they are asking, “Why are we there?” The fact is unless you are involved you simply can’t wrap your brain around the intangibles. The Media can expose so many ulterior motives from oil, to torture, but the Media also has ulterior motives; namely sales, and political agenda. I see both sides of the fence on all of these issues, and I have been directly involved. Incidentally the old "I am only a chicken farmer!" trick has been the default story for enemy soldiers, terrorists and insurgents since everything started, what do chicken farmers use 155mm Artillery shells for? All this talk about polar bears, cheese and chicken made me hungry!

How does memory recall work or how does our brains recall stored images, memories, etc.? What does that involve and how do neurotransmitters play a role in this?
I used to know the answer, but my memory recall fails me at the moment. StuRat 00:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
From memory (mine is still somewhat functional) and some 'original research': Neurons connect due to stimuli caused by incoming currents from the senses, forming patterns that grow stronger as the same thing is observed more often. Thus, the logic is formed that 'if I see this, then that must be there too, because that has regularly been the case before '. You can also conjure up these images by thinking about them. Those are called memories. Neurotransmitters pass on the stimuli between the neurons (the name sort of gives that away). DirkvdM 07:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

As Finnish social security numbers include the date of birth (and are not recycled when the century changes, even that has been taken into account), someone else getting your social security number would involve that person travelling back in time and getting born at a different time.

The Canadian sandwich chain Mr. Sub has been running a couple of really odd commercials. I'm wondering if anyone else can enlighten me with the proper interpretation.
In the first, a man of about 30 is sitting in a basement, slowly turning a light bulb on and off with a pullchain. He then presses play on a cassette player, and the Lone Ranger theme ( William Tell Overture) begins to play. For a few seconds, he furiously turns the light on and off, before stopping and sitting in the dark for a couple of seconds. The screen then changes to a big graphic that reads "TRY NEW THINGS," and an announcer introduces a new sandwich.
In the second ad, we see another man of about 30 in a room that is completely bare except for a dresser, two paintings -- perhaps the man's parents -- and two objects on the floor: a trumpet and a doll, I think. The man silently picks up those two objects, looks up at the ceiling for a second, then climbs into the open bottom drawer of the dresser. We see that he appears to have a black-and-white picture of a man (perhaps his father) attached to his lapel. He curls up and then closes the drawer from the inside. We then get the "TRY NEW THINGS" graphic.
Maybe it's just me, but these ads seem a little arcane for a chain of sandwich shops. What the heck is going on? Is the first ad supposed to show that the guy in the basement has such a pathetic life that he turns a light bulb on and off for fun? Or is turning the light on and off to the Lone Ranger theme supposed to be his idea of "trying new things?" And I have absolutely no handle on the second ad at all. Perhaps the guy hasn't gotten over the deaths of his parents and is stuck in his childhood, but that wouldn't explain why the room is bare or, for that matter, how sandwiches come into play.
Mwalcoff 04:34, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
I think the point is to catch your attention and make you aware of the brand and remember it, which worked for you. As for a simple explanation of the contents of the ads, I think the point that yes, the man has such a pathetic life that going to eat at a different restaurant would be a good and welcome change.

I would be very surprised if it was illegal to build a radio receiver, as opposed to transmitter, in any reasonably free jurisdiction. However you would have to be careful that you built it properly, as a badly-built receiver can emit radio signals and if these cause interference with another user you may get into trouble. Obviously if you live in a country which doesn't like it's citizens receiving outside radio broadcasts you may get into trouble. Also if you are using the receiver to eavesdrop, or intend to use it for criminal activity you will get into trouble too.

Can a libertarian be considered a good Catholic?
Is there a conflict between the message of love of Catholicism and the pure hate which is racism? Can a good Catholic be a racist?
Thank you,
--anon.
There are libertarians of all manner of religions, including Catholicism. Libertarianism is a political position which holds that the government should only protect people's rights; it shouldn't interfere in people's private lives or try to control the economy. Libertarians believe that people should be allowed to practice whatever religion they choose, as long as they don't hurt others in so doing. (If your religion teaches you to steal, to attack your neighbors, or to commit human sacrifice, that's not OK to a libertarian.)
Most libertarians are not opposed to the existence of taxes, although they would prefer taxes to be much lower than they are today! Most libertarians are "minarchists" (minimal government) rather than "anarchists" (no government).
There is no consensus among libertarians on abortion. Some believe that a fetus is a human being and therefore has rights which should be protected. Others believe that a fetus is part of the mother and that she should not be forced to carry it to term against her will. The abortion issue (in the U.S.) is not usually as divisive or doctrinaire among libertarians as it is in mainstream politics.
However, there are other issues on which libertarian and Catholic thought might come into conflict. For instance, there are a number of other topics on which the Catholic Church advocates restrictive laws, such as on sexual matters -- homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, contraception, and so forth. Libertarians generally consider sexual matters to be private and outside of the ambit of government. -- FOo 23:05, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

What are the differences between robots,androids and cyborgs?
A cyborg is half-man, half-machine. An android is an independant, intelligent machine that is close to people in behaviour. A robot is any machine that is capable of movement and has some degree of autonomousness.
The first definition is accurate with the exception of androids. Androids have no biological components whatsoever. The dividing line between androids and robots is however difficult to define. I would say that androids (having the Greek prefix andro meaning "man") are those robots that are most humanlike. In other words, an android is a subset of the wider set of robots.

Why do maps of the world show North as being "up" and South as being "down"? Who decided that maps should be shown in this way and not the other way around or even on their side?
I don't see how it much matters which direction is up, as long as everyone does it the same way. Otherwise, you would always have to find the key to figure out which way to hold up (whichever direction you are used to being up), and then you couldn't always read the possibly upside-down text. StuRat 16:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
OK, the answer is that north is easiest to determine astronomically, for those in the northern hemisphere, by using the North Star. So, when looking up at the North Star ( Polaris), it would be convenient to have a map which also had north in the up direction. StuRat 03:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

My two year old brother has this instrument that I don't know is. It is wooden and circular with a wooden handle. On the side of the circle, there is a ball attached with a piece of string; also the smae opposite this side of the circle. It works by twsiting your wrist back and forth and the wooden balls hit this unusual piece of plastic. It then makes the noise. Does anybody know what instrument this is, or is it just made up? Thanks! K ilo-Lima| (talk) 19:39, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I know the legal age around here to buy alcohol is usually 21 but it's not illegal to drink before then? right? only to buy it, like during probibition?-- Beers 23:02, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
It's also illegal to drink alcohol if you're under 21 everywhere I've been in the U.S. I think there are exceptions for religious observances like Holy Eucharist and Passover. I've known a couple of people who have been arrested for possessing alcohol while under the age of 21. Brian G. Crawford 23:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The players guess which one it the real answer.

I was reading in the "reliable source" section that court transcripts pass the verifiablity test. The only source I could find for an alternative viewpoint for one of the Wiki pages was documentation for a Montana court case containing the briefs for the plaintiff (alternative viewpoint), the respondent (primary viewpoint) and the state supreme court’s ruling. My question is: Do court briefs and rulings like these pass the verifiability test or are they considered to be too opinionated? Can they be used as a reference? Thanks.

Dear All,
My company is a CRM solutions provider company. We are looking for software that can be integrated with ours. This will be beneficial for both the companies.
For example we have integrated our Defect Tracking System with Perforce SCM. So as a result if a Perforce software is sold and people asks for a Defect Tracking software, our Defect Tracking Software will be a natural choice(along with some other vendors). The opposite also holds true.
Another example is whenever our software is sold a third party HTML editor gets sold because it's embedded in our solution.
We have other modules like Sales Force Automation, Marketing Automation, Customer Helpdesk, Employee Helpdesk, CRM Portals, Knowledge Management System, Asset Management, Mobile CRM etc.
It will be of great help if anybody can suggest me other possible integrations/embedding which will result in sales enquiries for the above modules whenever the other software is sold. Call Center,ERP are some of the common integration possibilities. Apart from these two please suggest other applications which are very popular and will result in adding value to our eCRM suite.
Thanks is advance for your time and help.

I wanted to ask how heavy weights should I buy at the start for arms if I weight 60KG and second what are the advantages and disadvantages of using/wearing Weights all day, and taking them off at night. And how long would it take for me to get used to the new weight and be able to buy heavier weights and what would be the limit for a human body to build up from weights. I mean, I think it's not possible to wear about 3KG at start and then add 3 more, and more, I mean there has to be a limit, and what would it be?

A friend of mine runs a copy of Far Cry on his PC. The graphics card is quite good and modern; it runs Unreal Tournament 2004 at 50fps and above, runs Photoshop just fine, etc. However, in Far Cry, there are often large patches of black replacing textures -- at some points, the green ground will be replaced by a large square of black, and stays there during movement, even though the blades of grass, dead bodies, etc appear above it normally.
A separate question: his PC also randomly turns itself off quite suddenly. There's just the PC and monitor plugged into the powerpoint, the house is new and can handle the electricity recquired, and the case and components are room temperature or cooler when it happens. Aside from a bad power supply unit, what could be wrong?
Thanks to any who respond.
Make sure all drivers are updated. I was gonna say it might be an overheating issue, but if it's just happening in that one game, it's probably just a game-specific bug. Some games just don't work well with certain graphics cards :-P Cyde Weys 08:01, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

In researching my great uncle, Rev. William Alvin Bartlett, who was Pastor of Plymouth Church in Chicago during the great fire, one of his church members was Joseph Armour. He was called from Chicago to Washington D.C.
In his final sermon,November 11, 1894 from The New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C. Dr. Bartlett spoke:
"With Joseph Armour I spied out the ground and laid the foundation for what is today the great Armour Institute. We selected the site on the prarie, as it then was, for a mission of Plymouth Church; but Mr. Armour delayed deeding the property until he began to get other conceptions; and at his death, he committed the work to his brother, who has carried it on to its present magnificent proportions.
Could this appear anywhere in Wikipedia? The web sites give credit another minister.

This is a question that has been bugging me for a while: are congenitally completely blind people capable of successfully jumping horizontally, for example across a stream? It seems to me that visual-spatial coordination would be vital to such a task, and so I don't know if a blind person would possess the ability to do make the jump. -- jp3z 00:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Of course they are capable of jumping. They might not have the accuracy of a seeing person, but they can do it. The only cases where a blind person wouldn't be able to jump would be if they couldn't use their legs or something like that.
In short, the ability to see is independent of the ability to use your legs, and vice versa, so the blind people that retain control of their legs can jump.-- Aleph1.0 00:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
The question was if they could "successfully" jump. It would seem that anyone could perform some quick and very inexpensive experiments by simply trying to jump across some small innocuous obstacles with one's eyes closed (or wearing blindfolds). Obviously gauging distance and landing surface would be difficult (or impossible) and it's possible that maintaining balance on landing might also pose additional challenges. Of course a congenitally blinding person might be able to fare better than a sighted person who was blindfolded. They have considerably more experience maintaining their balance without visual cues which most of us take for granted. JimD 01:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

I recently linked to a page on the Wikipedia iPod page. The link was extremely relevant and has very high quality information, even if it is my own site. I recently got a letter from a user and had the link deleted saying that I can't use Wikipedia to post commercial links. In no way is my site for commercial purposes. The goal of the site is to help iPod users, especially in converting DVDs. The site functions well and is updated almost constantly. It is perfectly relevant and has very high-quality content, so I encourage you to take a look and see if the claim I make is true (I am very confident).

Please answer these questions only if you are a Christian, or if you're not, then answer them in the Christian point of view.
1.When you Christians say that homosexuality is morally wrong, are you saying or do you mean that it is wrong for a person to fall in love with someone of his or her same gender?
2.If homosexuality is wrong and a person is homosexual(whether that person knows Jesus or not), then what should he or she do about it?
3.What causes homosexuality?
4.I've heard that homosexuality is(probably) caused by one's genes and/or by chemicals in one's brain called hormones or pheromones.If homosexuality really is bad and it is determined by one's personal choice, then what do you have to say about that?
5.I've heard that homosexuality exists not only in humans but also in animals.(If you don't believe, then see Homosexuality_in_animals#Homosexual_behaviour.)If homosexuality is just like what Christinas believe, then what do you have to say about that?

May I suggest you read the Bible? Leviticus, chapter 18, verse 22, clearly answers the question of right or wrong. Cynics will suggest the Bible is outdated and lacks the understanding of todays problems. I take the view that it is a guidebook to lifes questions and you must apply what you learn. Prayer, meditation and seeking the consul of a minister help you interpret what may seem confusing advice. Many people attempt to twist or deliberately misinterpret the writings of the Good Book to meet their individual goals or agenda. On this question though, it is clearly written and unmistakable...homosexuality is wrong and is an abomination in the Lord's eyes. We should not shun or deliberately harm these people, but neither should we encourage or approve of their lifestyle. The media seems to love this subject. The controversial and taboo subjects arouse curiosity from the straight and gay population, attracting more viewers and increasing ad rates. The more we fall prey to this, the more we encourage them to put this garbage on TV. The answers to this and other problems can be found in the Bible. When one takes the time to read, one can learn a great deal about life.
In answer to question 3, conservative Christians might point to Romans 1:18-27, which suggests that God "gave [people] over to shameful lusts", because they "neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him", and that they engaged in idolatry. — Matt Crypto 16:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

"Isnt the goal of every species to keep on reproducing in order to keep their species alive?" The Bible says to "go forth and multiply and fill the Earth".

Tom Willhite was born on January 10, 1940 in Oklahoma. His parents were Jim Willhite and Lorene Wakefield Willhite of Oklahoma. His sons are Thomas Dale Willhite Jr., born in 1958 currently from Eureka CA and Kevin Dewayne Willhite of Broken Arrow OK. Tomas D. Willhite Jr. is married to Jennifer K. Willhite. Kevin D. Willhite is now a single dad, divorced from Lorinda. Tom's daughter is Valerie Ruth Willhite House, from Gilbert /Tucson AZ. Valerie Ruth Willhite House is married to Terry House. These adult children are from his first wife Betha Ruth Willhite of Broken Arrow OK. Jenessa Helene Willhite Meyers is the daughter from his second wife, Jane Corwin Willhite. Jenessa was married to Jeff Widdecombe Meyers (a vinter family) on May 31,2004, by a Catholic priest, at High Valley Ranch in Clearlake Oaks CA, and they now have a little girl named Jenevieve, and two twin toddler girls. Jenessa went to Terra Linda High School in San Rafael CA and then onto USC where she majored in theater. Jenessa is an essential executive with her mom Jane in the PSI Siminars, PSI World organizations. Other exectives are Shirley Hunt, of Syrian descent, a life-long friend of Jane's from Boston MA, along with a 1988 grad, now PSI executive Kathy Quinlan-Perez. Ron Newman owner of defunct Red Onion Restaurant which had numerous racial discriminatory offenses and now owns new restaurant Sharkeez restaurant, is on the PSI World Board. Bob Sikora, owner of Bobby McGees restaurant, is on the PSI World board. Tom's brother Ron Willhite, is a pentecostal minister in Roswell GA. Ron is now retired. Tom grew up fairly poor in the Redondo Beach-Torrance CA area and rode with the Hells Angles as a young man. His life turned around when he met his tutor, William Penn Patrick, the owner of Holiday Magic Cosmetics. Tom met and married Jane Corwin from Boston MA at Holiday Magic company. Jane is a Roman Catholic and Tom became a Catholic when he married Jane. Tom studied under Alexander Everett, who was a Unity ministerial student and Jose Silva student became a facilitator of Alexander Everett's Mind Dynamics Seminars. William Penn Patrick bought Mind Dynamics in 1970 to add to his Leadership Dynamics sales training courses. Mind Dynamics was created by Alexander Everett in 1968. Tom and Jane attended the MD courses plus the instructors’ course. Personal success could be achieved through the conscious use of the subconscious mind. Everett came from the UK for study to become a Unity minister after growing up in the Unity Movement in England. Tom would implement subconscious mind techniques along with WPP’s philosophy as a sales trainer for Holiday Magic. The budding seeds of PSI World began here.
Tom admits in his manuscripts that his tutor, William Penn Patrick, of the Leadership Dynamics Institute's seminars contained acts of humiliation, verbal abuse, physical assault, and sleep deprivation. Tom told those of us in the early days about WPP physically assaulting LDI seminar participants. WPP even physically slapped his wife Marie until she couldn't stand it any longer and divorced him. Marie then physically slapped her female Leadership Dynamics students during the Leadership Dynamics Women's Seminar. WPP studied the Bible every day. WPP’s reaction to the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of Holiday Magic in late 1969 resulted in a screaming and table pounding match while he espoused the fact that he would never compromise with the F.T.C. An executive tried to persuade WPP to make the changes the F.T.C. wanted stating that he was trying to build a company that would be here 20 years from now. WPP said, “Let’s get something straight; I can steal more money in the next two years than you can make building an organization. It is going to take the Federal Trade Commission at least two years to get us and we are going to proceed on that line.” Salesmen were not paid commissions on plan enrollments and garages were loaded up with unsaleable-nonrefundable Holiday Magic products. Tom understated it when he said, "He did a lot of wrong things," in his manuscripts. Eventually Holiday Magic was found to be a pyramid scheme by the F.T.C and filed for bankrupcy. Tom's tutor, William Penn Patrick, was killed on Saturday, June 9, 1973 at 43 years old on a steep ridge near his Clearlake Oaks Ranch House (High Valley Ranch). Also killed in the plane was Christian Hagert, 30, of Helsinki, Finland, the director of Holiday Magic. Soil samples taken at the crash site and an intensive investigation indicated that the P 51 Mustang plane ran out of gas, which cleared a mechanic of allegedly performing faulty repair work before the flight. High Valley Ranch was auctioned off by the government and was bought by Thomas and Jane Willhite in 1973. The seminars have ebbed and flowed throughout the years with PSI 1 for Kids, PSI 3 for Teens, PSI 4, PSI 7, PLD, PSI 9 (Women’s Leadership Seminar), PSI 10 (Men’s Leadership Seminar), and Principia. PSI 5 is no longer held and has been incorporated into PSI 4 and PSI 7. PSI 2 (Communications) and PSI 6 (Business) Seminars are no longer held. They also have been incorporated into PSI 4 and PSI 7. Front and Center has been added to teach the art of giving presentations and to reap a new crop of seminar facilitators. Tom’s vision, which came to him from a sound sleep as recorded in the Book of Visions, is straight out of Hermetic philosophy which can be summarized by seven basic principles: mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender. See The Kybalion ~ Hermetic Philosophy by Three Initiates. Sadly Tom was taken from us on a Wednesday morning, at 9:19 a.m. September 21, 1983 when he was 43 years old. He crashed his Kecskes Der Jager D-1X plane at High Valley Ranch in Clearlake Oaks, CA while performing aerobatics before a group of PSI 7 students. About 40 students witnessed this tragic event. After performing rolls, loops, pull-ups and a final wing over, he crashed into the ground.
He transitioned from this life by way of an intrathoracic hemorrhage, laceration of the heart, and a crushing injury of the chest. The Jones & Lewis Clear Lake Memorial Chapel mortuary in Lower Lake CA handled the transition. Tom was buried on Tuesday, September 27, 1983 in the Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery at 270 Los Ranchitos Road, San Rafael CA 94903. May he rest in peace.

Well, that's the first part answered (thanks!). Now all I've got to do is find out who the cover of the theme is by, because it was definitely a male vocalist and 80s-ish soft-pop-rock version I heard with male vocals, and the original theme music was a folky female vocal version.

Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask but...
On this page below... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Lilith_%28John_Collier_painting%29.jpg
There's a picture I would like to use, and at the bottom it says...
"This image is in the public domain because its copyright has expired in the United States and those countries with a copyright term of life of the author plus 70 years or less. Subject to disclaimers."
Does that mean I can use it as the art for my band's demo? It won't be for commercial purposes. I'm just giving the demos out to specific record companies and a few people for free. I would like to have that on the cover and maybe the back too. Is this illegal? Or can I go ahead and do it?
Again, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask.

I have shoulder length hair which I tie back with a plain hair band (that's a common commercially manufactured rubber band in a cloth sheath to keep it from snagging on the hair). My wife usually uses a couple of these spaced a few inches apart; her hair is longer and straighter, but tends more towards tangling. We both move around a bit in our sleep (more so for me). Unbound hair tends to get trapped under one another which is rather uncomfortable during any subsequent movement. 216.240.40.182 19:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

How do I change it? I believe the person who did this is Earl Pike of Cleveland, who has major current disagreements with my organization's viewpoint, and is generally making a nuisance of himself.
I'd appreciate the opportunity to write about this organization myself. Thanks!

The proper answer depends on your definition of famous and whether by ‘is’ you mean living. Power too is difficult to measure, consider Pol Pot or Mao. I guess until recently, Saddam Hussein might have been the answer.
Thomas Edison had three months of formal education. Joseph Stalin had no formal education. Harland David Sanders, the Colonel, had no formal education.

I need to write a one act play for school (4 cast members). I've been given little advice on how to go about doing this, so I'll ask here.
A one-act play is generally a half hour to an hour in length. A page of dialogue generally takes a minute to act out, so you're looking at 30 to 60 pages. That's including a lot of spacing. A plot almost always has a conflict and a resolution. Characterization is also very important. One of the big mistakes made by novice writers and bad writers is to neglect to give each character an individual voice. You don't want all your characters to sound the same like those overly verbose kids in Dawson's Creek.
Make sure you write each page carefully with all dialouge and props and characters written correctly. Note that if you need any sort of scenery to have that written out too. 40 pages would take approximately 45 minutes to act out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.154.9 ( talk • contribs)

Well, I was watching a huge collection of random Anime Music Video clips, and twice during this collection, several scenes from a very intreguing-seeming anime came up. The best I can describe it as — AMV, after all — is an anime with a red-haired boy who wears tiny little round glasses and has magic powers(?), lots and lots of girls around, and he has a stick thing that's all wrapped up in white strips of cloth. There's also a white chibi weasle in one shot.

Some 15 or 20 years ago there was a program on PBS of British origin that was most unusual. I think it was shown twice . It consisted entirely of shots where the camera was the eyes of the protagonist. It was otherwise silent. The protagonist simply traveled from place to place through places of business such as factories and warehouses traveling from locale to locale, room to room, and at the end of each of the travels of the protagonist he would come upon someone by surprise, and without so much as a word he would shoot him dead. There were many such scenarios in this movie. It might have occurred during the bad IRA British troubles. I have never been able to find that program. Has anybody ever seen this or know what it is? Please tell me. —This unsigned comment was added by Moebius00 (talk • contribs) . I think it was "Rhinoceros"(not sure of spelling,sorry) or "Elephant" , a large mammal anyway and if so it was brilliant.It refers to a statement about a large animal in a room that is unmissable but no-one mentions.This was a comment on the "executions" going on in Ireland which everyone knew about but wer'nt talked about.Fear being the motivation of the general public and fear of bad publicity by whoever was the ruling party at the time.It was a tremendous and influential film at the time.If it was by the BBC it may be available through them somewhere. hotclaws**==

At our school, we have an administration program that blocks certain sites, e.g. for instances of the word 'pornography' etc. Wikipedia has never been blocked before but now it is being blocked due to "dangerous files". Does anyone know to what this may refer so that I can approach the school technicians and get it unblocked as it is a fantastic educational resource.
Aah but when a site is blocked, the block log appears with for example "triggered ten counts of the word nudity" or somethnig like that. This is due to "dangerous files" Perhaps an ambiguous signal is being sent out that may be interpreted as malicious? Cdmstewart 00:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

that's only if its a static address, which i doubt. it looks like a basic class c subnetted addy, which can run from a few thousand addys, to alot more, and being dynamic, once he's logged off, its given away to another, so your traceroute is a moot point. have the guy type "ipconfig" in his command prompt and see what the addy is now. If the guy owns the static addy, he can simply call his ISP and ask where the routing station is. easy stuff. egas

I want to make a Spongebob Squarepants fanstuff wiki, and a type of Homestar Runner wiki. Do I have to ask the creator for permission? Cheesia
Well, Cheesemail is my own version of Strong Bad Email. I'm trying to get more messages from everyone so I can keep answering them in public. It's like a hobby of mine, and it's very fun. I'm also going to make an online DVD. (No disk, just when I post something acting like a DVD.) It's not really a Homestar Runner fansite, but a Cheesemail fansite inspired by Homestar Runner. So I need permission to do a Cheesemail wiki? If I answer these on the HRWiki, there are rules to put characters in the email shows. It's no fun. This has nothing to do with Homestar Runner. I don't even answer these by getting emails. On this forum I go to, I must be PMed a message. Also, do I have to ask The Brother Chaps, creators of Homestar Runner, for permission? The wiki maker already got permission from TBC, does that mean everyone's allowed to make fansites? Cheesia
Ok, I guess I'm never going to make this wiki. No one's answering. Come on, I really want more messages. I'm waiting and waiting. Cheesia
It's almost been a day. Still no answer. Cheesia

I know when there is a reference to a particular book used as reference by posters i must, but is the Wiki open end public domain? I have reserched "Public Domain" in Wiki, and read that "for all practical purposes the public domain comprises copyright free work"., yet, "there is no such thing as public domain on the internet" Web pages have protection, as do copyrighted materials. non-copyrighted materials and expired copyrights are accessible to me notwithstanding. US Copyright Office and Wiki defines "Uncreative works", as works not of original idea. thus, unprotectable by copyright. and by the Berne Convention, pre 1923 is public domain, so im my case, the bible for one, is usuable fully and with no infrindgment. Still, I would ask that any authors who may be of service, and willing to take the time perchance allow me your knowledge or expeirence. Any help is very much appreciated...

Africans were miscontrued as having colloborated with Eurepeans on eve colonisation,is it really correct tosay say so?
Often after tribal wars the victors would sell the losers as slaves to the Europeans, who paid whatever the specific Africans were interested in(mostly glamerous things), but at that time there wasn't any nationalism movement or for that matter they didn't care about 'races'. It was also a fairly easy way to get rid of people not fond of you (for the Africans). Logically you can also deduct that at least a minimum of collaboration had to have been done, since at that time Europeans mostly had coastal colonies, which meant if no one worked with them they would have eventually have to moved inland to find more slaves.- Joneleth

I was wondering what people of high society, aristocracy, royalty and the such would do when in similair formal company when they needed to fart or burb? Do they hold it in? or for a fart do they go to the toilet, in that case if you have flatuence you would have to be going very often and might appear impolite or something. Weird question I know but who ever thinks about these things? Kingstonjr 21:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
=: The key is not to hold it in, the key is to avoid it in the first place. If you are going to an elegant gathering tomorrow night, avoid substances tonite and tomorrow morning that tend to give you gas. Discipline yourself. Do not pick your nose at a stop light. Only do so when the vehicle is in motion. But only between the speeds of 35-45. Below 35 and other drivers do not have to concentrate as much and will notice you. Above 45 requires two hands on the wheel. Burping? Avoid too much carbonated beverages and overeating. If a burp is inevitable ease it out quietly and carefully into your napkin. If someone is paying so much attention to you that they are taken aback by your mannerless behavior it is they with the problem not you. Just be discreet. Taktiks 11:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to play laser tag in a couple days, and I'm considering going "all out" in terms of camouflage and such. The playing environment is indoors, with mostly black walls with small light colored strips of paint in places. What would be the most effective way for me to (without breaking the game rules, like covering targets) camouflage myself? This is the site for the place I'm going to http://www.planetlazer.net/ Flea110 02:18, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Stand perfectly still.The eyes recognize movement in the dark more quickly than anything else..........hotclaws**=
Ok, this is original research but this might help future people who want to play at Planet Lazer (I've played there multiple times). The arena is fairly large, a smoke machine is used fairly extensively. I would suggest a very dark grey, and possibly a toque. The strobe lighting makes it a little hard to maneuver while hiding and the audio effects on your vest will give you away. Hiding spots on the upper deck are the best, just be sure to keep moving around and find a good barrier. Games get a little nuts and you might get hit a few times.
Your gun has a bomb option, it is your friend, find a group of people all together and bam, stats padding :)
Anyways, enjoy your game, its a great place. (thinking about it, I have a couple free play tickets sitting on my desk, I really should go and play :) -- Tawker 06:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Having managed a Planet Lazer all through HS + College, camouflage really is the least important factor (I've worn white and glowed like a sore thumb and still got the highest score). With the lights on your vest and the sounds it makes, standing still and trying to 'blend in' and sniping people makes 'YOU' the perfect target. While it is true that dark colors will help you, the best strategy (and this is after literally *THOUSANDS* of games I've played (with the highest score ever recorded)), is to calmly walk around and stalk individuals, bomb groups as you come on them (make sure they are the other team first!!!) and be aware. I can not stress how important being calm is... people that are amp'd up (I've seen so many people chug energy drinks before playing and ALWAYS come out with poor scores), since a calm person needs one shot to hit the most valuable target while the juiced players will shoot aimlessly and miss enough times for you to get the money shot off. Always be in motion, walking calmly, and scope out how your score increases by a large factor (people who stand still are the *BEST* targets).
Think of the scene in RoboCop when he is calmly walking through a field of bad guys shooting them once and onto the next target... the Zen of violence. Be RoboCop and you will always win.

I am not sure if you can help me with this but I feel I should ask before puting anything into my Fictional book that I am working on.
In the book the children of their dead Mother and Father who went to Peru to check out a story they heard about a virus that only Kill certain people and not others. So they went to Peru to fine out what it is. They found it and brough it back to the states. It has now gotten out of hand. Both mother and father are dead so the children have to fine a a way to destroy the virus and must go back to where they frist found it.
Ok, so what I want to know is where would one go in Peru to fine something like this. What would the people be like. and how would they get there.
I do not want to write in my book anything that would sound dumb and say something that isn't so. Even though my book is only fictional I would like some parts of it to be as close as possible to reality as I can without getting to far off.
I hope I made myself clear. And with hopes someone can give me some idea as to what, where and whom I can use in my fictional book I am now working on.
If you can not I understand and will have to try my best to get some info what I can for the book.
I thank you for your time. Katherine M G

Hi:
I am somewhat confused as to the punctuation for lists. I see list with no punctuation, some with periods, some with semi-colons. Myself, I would have used semi-colons or none at all...Periods, if they were sentences.
My example is with the article entitled: "List of educational institutions in Karachi"
Monotechnics, Polytechnics & Technology Institutes / College Affiliated with Sindh Board of Technical Education SBTE for DAE courses:
Then I see on down further, items with no periods. On another article, I saw semi-colons. Others, I saw punctuation on every other list item.
Question: What is the rule?
Another question: Should I have to remove the period from a list item that is a link, would I not ruin the linking if it is part of the link?
Hope that I did not ask for too much, or this might be a silly question.

Can someone help me acquire this information. Philc 0780 17:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
And also the exact date of founding, as i cant find anything more specific than the year, and other parks using that infobox have the exact date, and the visitor numbers, as the best i can get is a guestimate of the web. thanks! Philc 0780 17:53, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Ok, cool, thanks for that. Anyone have any resources on visitor numbers or dates of foundation for parks of this kind? Philc 0780 19:43, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I note that, in "my watchlist," not every edit to watched pages is listed. Very frequently, a page appears as having been edited and, when I go to the page, I find that the prior edit that occurred did *not* show up on my watchlist. Why is this?

This survey is conducted amongst Wpians. One million people in the world did contribute to one million articles in the English WP. I should like to collect more precise facts about that event that took place around Feb. 2006.
The survey is launched simultaneously in Reference Desk/Misc and Village Pump/Misc.Please only give an answer here ; results, if of any help, can become a [ [Wikipedia:million survey] ] entry.
Reference deskers should only be allowed to guess and Village pumpers should try to give accurate numbers. Then we’ll mix results.
1) How many words did each user write in WP (main) ?
2) How many are left by user after refactoring, &c. ?
3) In which countries are located those users ?
4) What kind of curve depicts the distribution of contributions per user ?
5) How many hits reach the most accessed pages in WP ( our statistics are as old as 2004) ?
6) What are the fact numbers and comparisons that could be exploited in paper, broadcast or web media to promote WP (like "The population of Fiji, or Estonia, or one quarter of Toronto ... contributed ..." or "This project compares only to the Pyramids for the number of people involved.")
Thank you for your answers. -- DLL 20:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
One million people is simply not correct. A large number of contributions are done by anonymous users - some of these were unique numbers but many others were IP numbers which have been used by multiple users. A fairly large number of the "one million registered users" have no edits because they were either never used, registered to prevent fradulent use of names similar to established users or known trolls, or only used by vandals whose every edit has been deleted. How would we count users whose every edit was reverted but not deleted? - they haven't actually contributed to the encyclopedia. We really have no way of knowing how many people have edited Wikipedia. Rmhermen 04:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
To Quantum - an article which name begins like "Wikipedia: " does not belong to the main namespace. It is for further discussion about promotion based upon remarkable facts.
To Rmhermen & Larry - simplification is not my goal. A panel of article histories may be analysed and help better understanding of the true making of WP.

I am the great grand daughter of Gaspar Acosta from Puerto Rico.
Recently, I was told a story about my great grandfather and his involvement in the capture of a criminal by the name of Correa Coto (I did find some information on the criminal).
The story that I was told was that Coto was very much feared, so much that even police officers would avoid him. However, my great grandfather was the exception and pursued Coto (and I am assuming killed him). I was also told that there may some sort of dedication to my great grandfather for his accomplishment, although I do not know which town in Puerto Rico would have such a dedication. The only information I was able to obtain from my mother (the granddaughter of Gaspar Acosta and the only person in her family to have met the man - she was a child at the time) was that he was from a town called Juana Dias.
My grandfather (Angel Luis Rodriguez), the son of Gaspar Acosta, died in October of 2005. My understanding was that they had been estranged for many years prior to Acosta's death.
My question is: Is this true? Is there anyway to confirm this family "legend"? I would very much like to find out as much as I can about Gaspar Acosta and his role in the capture of Correa Coto. I have just started my search and any help that you may be able to provide would certainly be appreciated. If you have any suggestions as to where I may be able to obtain additional information, that would be great too.
Thank you for your time and attention, Lori Simmons

An actress was playing a role of a fake dumb but not deaf lawyer in a movie I'd watched 10-15 years ago, and in the court she was communicating with her assistant by gestures, so he was speaking to the judge what she was saying.

Do they really give these prizes? It sound weird because this site doesn't contain any other material than the winning subject. Thx Yasmeen
Some are no doubt completely fraudulent offers. The company that makes the offer is in some country with lax law enforcement, so they get away with it. In other cases the offer is legit, but you must do something to get the prize, like fill out a lengthy survey. If they say you "could" win a prize, that means you have only a slight chance of winning, in addition to having to do crap. StuRat 00:31, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Please note that the above statement is incorrect. RUOK®, Are You OK?®, Are YOu Okay?®, etc is a registered trademark of Bruce L Johnson for a compterized telephone reassurance system and not a "common name" sor such a service.
Please remove or amend your article to reflect this legal infringement on my Registered Trademark.

Dear Sir, We at Wikipedia realize that you have a serious problem. It seems that a simple Google search turns out all sorts of sites that use RUOK in a generic manner, including the name of a music band. As you are aware, the common use of a term weakens any claim of trademark (not copyright). We suggest that you have a lawyer send registered letters to all of these people.

When I was born in England in 1935 my mother contracted Puerperal fever. I would like to know what medical treatment was given to patients suffering from Puerperal fever at that time. My mother was ill for 5 years and part of this time she was confined in a facility for the mentally ill. I cannot understand why this was done to her. I hope you can find something in your archives that will shed some light on this subject -- Diana1 20:29, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Puerperal fever is a bacterial infection contracted during childbirth due to tearing and disruption of membranes and normal immune defenses. There were no effective antibiotics in the 1930s. Women would either run a fever for a few days and then recover gradually (typically days to weeks), or die. It was a leading cause of maternal death in the days following childbirth. If you want to find out what the standard treatment was, look up puerperal fever in a British obstetric textbook from the 1930s. If you live in England you should have little trouble finding a hospital or medical school library that still has one you could look at. You can also find them in old book stores. I cannot think of any way that it could result in 5 years of illness culminating with involuntary confinement in a mental institution. Your family understandably dates the trouble to her childbirth, but the long term problems are likely not attributable to the puerperal fever. alteripse 20:57, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Perhaps yopur mother had some kind of mental problem as well as puerperal fever, like post-partum depression or something? (Not to say she was nuts or anything.)

I have four questions to ask you about homosexuality:
1.Christians say that homosexuality is morally wrong.By that, are they saying or do they mean that it is wrong for a person to fall in love with someone of his or her same gender?
2.What do Christians(and other religious believers against homosexuality) believe causes homosexuality?
3.I've heard some people say that homosexuality is probably caused by one's genes.But have biologists actually discovered any genes that causes homosexuality?
4.If homosexuality is caused by one's genes, then that raises the question of why some people have those genes.It is unlikely that homosexuality is inherited, and even if it is, there still remains the question of what had caused those 'gay genes' in the first place.So this raises an interesting question: Could it be possible that homosexuality is caused by some kind of genetic mutation?
Bowei 23:47, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
The life goal of every species on this planet is to reproduce. Two males cannot reproduce by themselves, neither can females, therefore homosexuality is not wat was intended for the human species; it is wrong. A shoe isnt intended to go on another shoe, that would be just wrong, it doesn't fulfil anything. Rather it is meant to go on a foot, where is can serve its purpose. I know this is a terrible example, its all i can be bothered thinking of right now as i looked at my feet for inspiration. But the same goes for people. A male and a female go together to serve a purpose. Two people of the same gender have no purpose. This doesn't tell u that homosexuality is morally wrong, all i am implying that there is no need for it. from a Christian persective it is morally wrong. but then let me remind u that the sin of homosexuality isnt any worse than say stealing candy. They are both equally as bad as each other and will both result in the person spending eternity in hell if they do not ask for forgiveness from God. And if any Christian or church claims that homosexuality is acceptable they are not truly Christians, rather they have created a new religion separate from Christianity.

Are there any search engines that allow one to include/exclude punctuation such as hyphens? I would, for example, like to be able to search for "hip hop" -"hip-hop"
or "hip-hop" -"hip hop"
, to determine which use is prevalent. Google says that "Because some people spell hyphenated words with a hyphen and others with a space, Google searches for variations on any hyphenated terms."

Sometime in the past month or so, I came across a wikipedia user page containing a nice rant about use of words like "popular" and "widely held" in wikipedia articles, as in "Brad Pitt is widely held to be one of the most popular actors." Anybody know who that user might have been? I think I wanna join their quest. (I'm hardly the first to point this out, but: statements asserting popularity are exquisitely unencyclopedic and vacuous. If the statement is true and the subject is popular, the reader probably already knows this and doesn't need to be told. If the reader doesn't know that the subject is popular, they should be learning this fact in e.g. People magazine, not an encyclopedia; encyclopedias are not arbiters of popularity.) — Steve Summit ( talk) 15:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

page_random
) which is a random number between 0 and 1. When you ask for a random page, another random number between 0 and 1 is generated and the page with a page_random
value above the chosen value and nearest it is selected. This causes a bias due to the distribution of the page_random
field on the database; if there's a relatively large gap on the numbers, the page with the value just above the gap has a greater chance to get selected. If two pages have close numbers, the one with the greater number has a smaller chance to get selected. Thus, each page has a probability of being chosen which is equal to the difference between its page_random
value and the next lowest page_random
value.page_random
values were equally spaced, this would be the same as a uniform distribution; however, to maintain them equally spaced would require the whole table to be updated every time a page is created or removed. Instead, the number is randomly chosen (with a uniform distribution). Some pages end up having a greater chance of being returned than others. --
cesarb 19:54, 5 March 2006 (UTC)Thanks, cesarb, for the clarification in response to my earlier comment. I see what you mean now. It didn't occur to me that a random real number would be used to decide between a fixed set of choices. I imagine instead that the server could maintain an "indexed sequential" type of data structure -- equivalent to a sequential list of all N articles now existing, but with a way to quickly find the Kth entry. A simple sequential list might also do, depending on performance issues; I have no idea how often this function is used. Anyway, the algorithm then would be to simply use the PRNG to select a random integer K from 1 to N (or 0 to N-1), then display article number K -- and if it didn't exist (because it was deleted since the list was updated), just try again. At convenient intervals (perhaps hourly), the list and associated data structure would be updated to add new articles and delete deleted ones, based on logs kept of these events. Seems simple enough to me, and better than the non-uniform method described above, but then I'm not the one who would be implementing it.--Anonymous, 01:16 UTC, March 8, 2006.

I recently perchased what the pet store called a halloween crab. They told me he eats hermit crab food and he's just like a hermit crab. After several days of living in my terrarium set-up he hasn't eaten anything. I have 2 dishes of water, one with salt water and one with fresh. It appears that he is drinking the salt water almost dry and not really paying any attention to the fresh. I should have researched his species further, but the pet store owner convinced me that he was just like a hermit crab and did not require a lot of water. I have him in a 10-gallon tank now, but if necessary, I could move him to a 20-gallon with more water. I need to know what kind of food he will eat, raw fish, raw prawns, cooked prawns, cooked fish??? He's not even interested in the hermit crab food.

A friend of mine always has his radio, CD player, TV and DVD player “on”. When he is not using the appliance he just turn the volume down. He says that every time you turn them on and off you damage them more than keeping them “on” all the time. As an example he says that the video stores never turn off the TV‘s off.
So my question is: Is better for a house appliance to turn it “on” and “off” every time is going to be used or is better to leave it “on” all the time? per LG.
Leaving aside the ecological view point that is highly appreciated and valued, can someone answer the original question: Is better for a house appliance (i.e. tv, dvd player, stereo) to turn it “on” and “off” every time is going to be used or is better to leave it “on” all the time? Lg

According to The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Travel ( ISBN 0-8118-3131-0), "The OK sign" (touching your thumb and index finger to suggest a circle, with the other fingers on the hand fanned out), indicates that everything is okay in the US. I agree with this.

You're not asking about this, but it seems useful info here. An international signalling standard (for search planes overhead) is to raise both hands for a 'yes', in this case meaning "yes, I need assistance". Raising one hand means 'no' ("I don't need assistance", in other words "I'm ok"). This coincides nicely with how people would normally react; waving frantically with both hands when they're in trouble and casually waving with one hand when everything's fine. And another way to remember this is that standing still and straight (the way you're supposed to signal) with both hands raised your body forms a 'y' for 'yes. DirkvdM 09:24, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
In Japan, the money sign is the reverse of the OK sign, so your palm is facing up and your three loose fingers point to the side (or close to the side). Most young people would understand the regular OK sign as OK, although it's more common to make a giant O with your arms (just imagine if the song was called YMCO). If you made the regular OK sign to an old person they'd probably try to correct you, or pretend to understand but instead just ignore you. freshgavin ΓΛĿЌ 06:05, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

In the early 20th Century, when were fantasy films popular and why were they?
This isn't homework, I'm just curious. If a nuclear war wiped out all life, land and nations north of the equator, what would be the political and social effects to the inhabitants and nations south of the equator? I know we can only speculate but I think it's interesting. I'm especially curious as to which country would become the new superpower, Australia or Brazil.
Assuming that some weird other cause would totally wipe out humanity in the Northern Hemispere and leave the Southern hemisphere totally intact, with the equator being a sharp 'cut-off line' (or what should I call that?). Then Indonesia (or rather Java) would have something like 1/3 of the remaining population. Since much of the wealth countries have depends on international trade and most of that will be lost with the major economies lost, these southern economies would collapse and they would all have to start from scratch (well, not entirely of course, but there will be a strong effect along those lines). And then the population numbers will become a decisive factor. So my bet would be on Indonesia. Or would indigenous natural resources be decisive? In that case Congo would be a strong contender (no, not South Africa - who needs gold and diamonds in a survival situation?). Of course we can come up with all sorts of variations on this. What if all 'rich' countries would cease to exist? Or all land below 1 km would be flooded? DirkvdM 09:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
In a survival situation any country which can't feed its own population is pretty much fucked. In that scenario Brazil seems quite strong. The question remains unanswerable though - too many variables. Celcius 03:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Some Jewish religious authorities forbid the eating of fish together with milk, on the grounds that it is a danger to health. (Bet Yosef on Tur, Yoreh Deah chapter 87). Others however say that this ruling arose as a result of a scribal error and it is therefore permitted to eat the two together. (Shach on Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh Deah chapter 87 paragraph 5).

For the U.S., I know that Boeing, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman are the top aircraft manufacturer. However, while I was in a discussion with my friends about ships, I couldn't come up with a single company that produces ships -- let alone the one with the largest revenue. This is "an idle curiosity question," and I am looking for the manufacturer of ships with the highest revenue in (1) the world and (2) United States.

I've noticed there are no articles or links to the late 70s/early 80s PBS (United States) show "Soccer Made In Germany". I've spoken with many people who've discovered European football thru watching this show, not to mention the game Subbuteo, which was often plugged at the end of the program. The host was Toby Charles, who was also the play by play announcer in the movie "Victory", which was called "Escape to Victory" overseas.
I would love to have more information on this seminal show that brought so many Americans to the beautiful game of Soccer. The history, how it came to be, episodes, matches played, results, etc?
What is the correct name of the device that is a model of the planets and their positions as they rotate about the sun. I've seen them in antique stores.
This question is about Delirium (DC Comics) and The Dalemark Quartet by Diana Wynne Jones.
So I was reading The Sandman Companion by Hy Bender, and in the bit about Delirium's origins, Gaiman mentions someone named Tanaqui C Weaver. The name hit a huge OMG ote with me - I'm a fan of Gaiman and DWJ, and I've followed the endless connections in-between their works (Nichothodes in Deep Secret, Eight Days of Luke/American Gods, Stardust/Half of DWJ's stuff, Hexwood), and now I see a new one - Tanaqui the weaver/witch from The Spellcoats, and this real-life person.
So, my question(s) is(are), does anyone know anything about who this person is? A writer, or an aquantiance? And was the book-Tanaqui named after the real-Tanaqui, or was it the other way 'round? Or is Tanaqui a real name?
(Apologies for the giant muddled fannish paragraph of doom.) Ductape Daredevil 04:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes, she is a real person. Tanaqui C. Weaver named herself after the Diana Wynne Jones character. She has a long history of being an active member of the Oxford University Science Fiction Club. She is also the Tanaqui credited by Philip Pullman for bringing supplies of the right sort of paper, enabling him to finish writing The Amber Spyglass.

hello... i ran across your information site here, and i was wondering if there was any information you could give me on a poster i had found many years ago folded in the back of an old clock. it is a poster of a grand baseball match (its words not mine),between the diamond baseball club, and the concord baseball club of concord. on the concord grounds, at the rear of the fitchburg depot. it states that baseball not being "officially" an athletic sport is not announced by the executive committee. the time of the game is 8:30, and crossed out and penciled in at 9:00. apparently im not much of a researcher because i haven't been able to find any information on it, although i did find another poster like it in the library of congress, they didn't really give any information about it. and denied my request for information. you can see their copy of the poster online in the library of congress, Washington d.c. i was hoping you could tell me something about this day, and this game, i would be extremely interested in anything you could tell me. thank you for considering my question.

There's a good 20% chance that anything will work, if you believe it. This is the placebo effect. Sometimes, it's a good last ditch effort.

Hi,
I was at my colleague's place for dinner and we were discussing lot of things. I was asked the following question during the discussion. In America, everything is measured in English units (e.g. ounces, pounds, etc) but we see bottles of soda (e.g. coca-cola) marked in "liter (or litre)". Why just the soda bottles are marked in litre, which is metric system? Could you please let me know?
Thanks in advance,
GS
My guess is because Coca-Cola is produced and sold worldwide, and more countries use the metric system, so they can use the same label.--anonymuck
The above guess is just wrong. Different countries have different labeling laws, which are likely to require things like nutritional information and ingredient lists in the local language or languages.
I think the actual explanation is that there was a program to introduce metric measure into general use in the US around 1975, the same as in Canada; but it lost political support and not much was done. If the Coca-Cola company (or one of its competitors) was introducing a new size of large bottle around that time, they may have decided to make it metric because if they didn't then they'd only have to change it when the conversion process was complete. When the new size caught on, the industry stayed with metric for other large sizes. This also is only a guess, but it makes sense. --Anonymous, 07:49 UTC [or in metric: 28.14 ks :-)], March 12, 2006.

Isn't it stupid to practice refund theft?
You may get some goods but you leave a highly visible trail that can come back to haunt you. If you're a Target executive, you have a list of stolen goods (you check your stocked items quarterly, don't you?) from all shops, a list of refund records from all shops, you can easily create a list of suspects. And then you keep an eye on them if they come again.
Let's say if Allen buys an expensive DVD recorder today and he's on the watchlist, you can ask your guys to mark the other DVD recorders (one dirt cheap RFID tag would be good enough). If Allen takes a marked DVD recorder to the counter and asks for refund, call the police.

I accidentally ran into this mixture of views, and I really don’t want to alter the opinion people have about US Government Affairs. I am an eight year USMC Vet including half of my enlistment in the thick of things overseas in Iraq. I have had duty handling detainees, and I agree that some of them do not deserve to be there. Generally they are treated well, and I am not allowed to disclose any specific techniques for "Information Extraction" But I have never seen anything quite that cruel. Unfortunately when trying to get any information from some of these people; being nice doesn’t really work all that well. For that matter just keeping them well behaved you have to show them there are consequences to acting out. They are not imprisoned (Innocent or otherwise) to be hugged, and well loved. I can hardly see myself condoning torture, or abuse to someone who is imprisoned. I was appalled by the actions of that demented Army girl who built naked Iraqi Pyramids, and there is no doubt in my mind that other similar incidents have happened numerous times by individual service members. People do abuse their power when they are ignorant. To say that George Bush is directly involved with torture techniques is all a bit ridiculous in my mind. I am not a pro or a con when it comes to our commander and chief, he disappoints me half the time and impresses me the other half. He gets blamed for everything from terrorist attacks to hurricanes which almost makes it seem as if people believe he has some God like ability to snap his fingers and fix the world if he wants to, but chooses not to. When he waited a month to declare official war the world screamed, “What’s taking you so long?” Many of those same people seem to have forgotten the thousands of American lives Jihads (Whatever you want to call them) have ended since the late seventies and now they are asking, “Why are we there?” The fact is unless you are involved you simply can’t wrap your brain around the intangibles. The Media can expose so many ulterior motives from oil, to torture, but the Media also has ulterior motives; namely sales, and political agenda. I see both sides of the fence on all of these issues, and I have been directly involved. Incidentally the old "I am only a chicken farmer!" trick has been the default story for enemy soldiers, terrorists and insurgents since everything started, what do chicken farmers use 155mm Artillery shells for?

How does memory recall work or how does our brains recall stored images, memories, etc.? What does that involve and how do neurotransmitters play a role in this?
I used to know the answer, but my memory recall fails me at the moment. StuRat 00:10, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
From memory (mine is still somewhat functional) and some 'original research': Neurons connect due to stimuli caused by incoming currents from the senses, forming patterns that grow stronger as the same thing is observed more often. Thus, the logic is formed that 'if I see this, then that must be there too, because that has regularly been the case before '. You can also conjure up these images by thinking about them. Those are called memories. Neurotransmitters pass on the stimuli between the neurons (the name sort of gives that away). DirkvdM 07:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

As Finnish social security numbers include the date of birth (and are not recycled when the century changes, even that has been taken into account), someone else getting your social security number would involve that person travelling back in time and getting born at a different time.

The Canadian sandwich chain Mr. Sub has been running a couple of really odd commercials. I'm wondering if anyone else can enlighten me with the proper interpretation.
In the first, a man of about 30 is sitting in a basement, slowly turning a light bulb on and off with a pullchain. He then presses play on a cassette player, and the Lone Ranger theme ( William Tell Overture) begins to play. For a few seconds, he furiously turns the light on and off, before stopping and sitting in the dark for a couple of seconds. The screen then changes to a big graphic that reads "TRY NEW THINGS," and an announcer introduces a new sandwich.
In the second ad, we see another man of about 30 in a room that is completely bare except for a dresser, two paintings -- perhaps the man's parents -- and two objects on the floor: a trumpet and a doll, I think. The man silently picks up those two objects, looks up at the ceiling for a second, then climbs into the open bottom drawer of the dresser. We see that he appears to have a black-and-white picture of a man (perhaps his father) attached to his lapel. He curls up and then closes the drawer from the inside. We then get the "TRY NEW THINGS" graphic.
Maybe it's just me, but these ads seem a little arcane for a chain of sandwich shops. What the heck is going on? Is the first ad supposed to show that the guy in the basement has such a pathetic life that he turns a light bulb on and off for fun? Or is turning the light on and off to the Lone Ranger theme supposed to be his idea of "trying new things?" And I have absolutely no handle on the second ad at all. Perhaps the guy hasn't gotten over the deaths of his parents and is stuck in his childhood, but that wouldn't explain why the room is bare or, for that matter, how sandwiches come into play.

I think the point is to catch your attention and make you aware of the brand and remember it, which worked for you.

Can anybody explain why Britain and France called their battlefront against the Germans in WW1 The Western Front and not the Eastern Front? I appreciate that they had an ally, Russia, who fought on the German's Eastern Front (was that therefore the Russians Western Front?) but there was no British or French forces on that front. A British expression for death in the war was "going West" (homewards?) so they knew they were going East to fight. Hardly an earth-shattering puzzle but it has bothered me for ages, and despite extensive searching have not found anything.

May be this is overuse of Wikipedia:Reference desk but can someone tell which are good CD-R to buy in US? Good means: cheap, lasting long (don't scratch easily and whatever else that makes it good), able to be written without going bad. Thanks. AshishG talk02:45, June 2, 2024 ( UTC).
Personally, I think RW discs may last longer because these discs are inorganic. -- Toytoy 06:55, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Cheap CD-Rs are not as reflective as pressed discs, which has two results: A, the laser has to work harder to read them and B, scratches and marks will have a greater effect. Ritek are the best (they are about 80% as good as a storebought CD), and Ridata and Sony are good too.

A friend of mine asked me to help locate Father Gene Grolmous. Father Grolmous was associated with St. Louis University's National Conference held in 1982, dealing with "Lessons to be Learned from the Hyatt Hotel Disastor in Kansas City". It is believed that Father Grolmous was Assistant Professor of Speech. He did have some poetry published. Prior to joining the faculty there, he was at Rockhurst College.
The friend who would like to locate him is named Chuck Hayes. Father Grolmus was often a visitor in his home. Chuck was also involved in the conference, having been a survivor of the Hyatt disaster.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I would be very surprised if it was illegal to build a radio receiver, as opposed to transmitter, in any reasonably free jurisdiction. However you would have to be careful that you built it properly, as a badly-built receiver can emit radio signals and if these cause interference with another user you may get into trouble. Obviously if you live in a country which doesn't like it's citizens receiving outside radio broadcasts you may get into trouble. Also if you are using the receiver to eavesdrop, or intend to use it for criminal activity you will get into trouble too.

It seems that due to the mechanics alone, that the routine rooting of ones anus by an plunger type device such as a engorged penis, would loosen ones anus,and it's surrounding muscle and tissue mass thus preventing it from being ever able to fart again.

Can a libertarian be considered a good Catholic?
Is there a conflict between the message of love of Catholicism and the pure hate which is racism? Can a good Catholic be a racist?
Thank you,
--anon.
There are libertarians of all manner of religions, including Catholicism. Libertarianism is a political position which holds that the government should only protect people's rights; it shouldn't interfere in people's private lives or try to control the economy. Libertarians believe that people should be allowed to practice whatever religion they choose, as long as they don't hurt others in so doing. (If your religion teaches you to steal, to attack your neighbors, or to commit human sacrifice, that's not OK to a libertarian.)
Most libertarians are not opposed to the existence of taxes, although they would prefer taxes to be much lower than they are today! Most libertarians are "minarchists" (minimal government) rather than "anarchists" (no government).
There is no consensus among libertarians on abortion. Some believe that a fetus is a human being and therefore has rights which should be protected. Others believe that a fetus is part of the mother and that she should not be forced to carry it to term against her will. The abortion issue (in the U.S.) is not usually as divisive or doctrinaire among libertarians as it is in mainstream politics.
However, there are other issues on which libertarian and Catholic thought might come into conflict. For instance, there are a number of other topics on which the Catholic Church advocates restrictive laws, such as on sexual matters -- homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, contraception, and so forth. Libertarians generally consider sexual matters to be private and outside of the ambit of government. -- FOo 23:05, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

What are the differences between robots,androids and cyborgs?
A cyborg is half-man, half-machine. An android is an independant, intelligent machine that is close to people in behaviour. A robot is any machine that is capable of movement and has some degree of autonomousness.
The first definition is accurate with the exception of androids. Androids have no biological components whatsoever. The dividing line between androids and robots is however difficult to define. I would say that androids (having the Greek prefix andro meaning "man") are those robots that are most humanlike. In other words, an android is a subset of the wider set of robots.

Why do maps of the world show North as being "up" and South as being "down"? Who decided that maps should be shown in this way and not the other way around or even on their side?
I don't see how it much matters which direction is up, as long as everyone does it the same way. Otherwise, you would always have to find the key to figure out which way to hold up (whichever direction you are used to being up), and then you couldn't always read the possibly upside-down text. StuRat 16:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
OK, the answer is that north is easiest to determine astronomically, for those in the northern hemisphere, by using the North Star. So, when looking up at the North Star ( Polaris), it would be convenient to have a map which also had north in the up direction. StuRat 03:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Dear All,
My company is a CRM solutions provider company. We are looking for software that can be integrated with ours. This will be beneficial for both the companies.
For example we have integrated our Defect Tracking System with Perforce SCM. So as a result if a Perforce software is sold and people asks for a Defect Tracking software, our Defect Tracking Software will be a natural choice(along with some other vendors). The opposite also holds true.
Another example is whenever our software is sold a third party HTML editor gets sold because it's embedded in our solution.
We have other modules like Sales Force Automation, Marketing Automation, Customer Helpdesk, Employee Helpdesk, CRM Portals, Knowledge Management System, Asset Management, Mobile CRM etc.
It will be of great help if anybody can suggest me other possible integrations/embedding which will result in sales enquiries for the above modules whenever the other software is sold. Call Center,ERP are some of the common integration possibilities. Apart from these two please suggest other applications which are very popular and will result in adding value to our eCRM suite.
Thanks is advance for your time and help.

A friend of mine runs a copy of Far Cry on his PC. The graphics card is quite good and modern; it runs Unreal Tournament 2004 at 50fps and above, runs Photoshop just fine, etc. However, in Far Cry, there are often large patches of black replacing textures -- at some points, the green ground will be replaced by a large square of black, and stays there during movement, even though the blades of grass, dead bodies, etc appear above it normally.
A separate question: his PC also randomly turns itself off quite suddenly. There's just the PC and monitor plugged into the powerpoint, the house is new and can handle the electricity recquired, and the case and components are room temperature or cooler when it happens. Aside from a bad power supply unit, what could be wrong?
Thanks to any who respond.

In researching my great uncle, Rev. William Alvin Bartlett, who was Pastor of Plymouth Church in Chicago during the great fire, one of his church members was Joseph Armour. He was called from Chicago to Washington D.C.
In his final sermon,November 11, 1894 from The New York Avenue Presbyterian Church in Washington D.C. Dr. Bartlett spoke:
"With Joseph Armour I spied out the ground and laid the foundation for what is today the great Armour Institute. We selected the site on the prarie, as it then was, for a mission of Plymouth Church; but Mr. Armour delayed deeding the property until he began to get other conceptions; and at his death, he committed the work to his brother, who has carried it on to its present magnificent proportions.

It seems to me that visual-spatial coordination would be vital to such a task, and so I don't know if a blind person would possess the ability to do make the jump. -- jp3z 00:28, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Of course they are capable of jumping. They might not have the accuracy of a seeing person, but they can do it. The only cases where a blind person wouldn't be able to jump would be if they couldn't use their legs or something like that.
In short, the ability to see is independent of the ability to use your legs, and vice versa, so the blind people that retain control of their legs can jump.-- Aleph1.0 00:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
The question was if they could "successfully" jump. It would seem that anyone could perform some quick and very inexpensive experiments by simply trying to jump across some small innocuous obstacles with one's eyes closed (or wearing blindfolds). Obviously gauging distance and landing surface would be difficult (or impossible) and it's possible that maintaining balance on landing might also pose additional challenges. Of course a congenitally blinding person might be able to fare better than a sighted person who was blindfolded. They have considerably more experience maintaining their balance without visual cues which most of us take for granted. JimD 01:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
An animal that is reputed to commit mass suicide by running headlong off cliffs (minglem)
Why would they run headlong off cliffs? I think that only suicidal humans, flying squirrels, birds, and other animals that can fly would run off cliffs.
Disney made one of their nature documentaries about them and when they found out lemmings don't jump off cliffs they pushed!hotclaws**==

Hello, I was wondering if it would be possible to get information on specific college tuition fees since 1996 (what the average student was paying each year).

It would be great if you could provide me with that information. Thank you for your time.
What was the origial meaning of the letter E in ESPN??
I recently linked to a page on the Wikipedia iPod page. The link was extremely relevant and has very high quality information, even if it is my own site. I recently got a letter from a user and had the link deleted saying that I can't use Wikipedia to post commercial links. In no way is my site for commercial purposes. The goal of the site is to help iPod users, especially in converting DVDs. The site functions well and is updated almost constantly. It is perfectly relevant and has very high-quality content, so I encourage you to take a look and see if the claim I make is true (I am very confident). I just want to know whether I should re-post the link or keep it off. Thank you, andsorry for the rambling.

Note that being a good player is not the only factor that goes into scoring lots of points. Other important factors include an opposing team incapable of mounting any true opposition and the player's teammates willingness to pass him the ball for each shot rather than take the shot themselves.

Please answer these questions only if you are a Christian, or if you're not, then answer them in the Christian point of view.
1.When you Christians say that homosexuality is morally wrong, are you saying or do you mean that it is wrong for a person to fall in love with someone of his or her same gender?
2.If homosexuality is wrong and a person is homosexual(whether that person knows Jesus or not), then what should he or she do about it?
3.What causes homosexuality?
4.I've heard that homosexuality is(probably) caused by one's genes and/or by chemicals in one's brain called hormones or pheromones.If homosexuality really is bad and it is determined by one's personal choice, then what do you have to say about that?
5.I've heard that homosexuality exists not only in humans but also in animals.(If you don't believe, then see Homosexuality_in_animals#Homosexual_behaviour.)If homosexuality is just like what Christinas believe, then what do you have to say about that?
User:Bowei 07:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
May I suggest you read the Bible? Leviticus, chapter 18, verse 22, clearly answers the question of right or wrong. Cynics will suggest the Bible is outdated and lacks the understanding of todays problems. I take the view that it is a guidebook to lifes questions and you must apply what you learn. Prayer, meditation and seeking the consul of a minister help you interpret what may seem confusing advice. Many people attempt to twist or deliberately misinterpret the writings of the Good Book to meet their individual goals or agenda. On this question though, it is clearly written and unmistakable...homosexuality is wrong and is an abomination in the Lord's eyes. We should not shun or deliberately harm these people, but neither should we encourage or approve of their lifestyle. The media seems to love this subject. The controversial and taboo subjects arouse curiosity from the straight and gay population, attracting more viewers and increasing ad rates. The more we fall prey to this, the more we encourage them to put this garbage on TV. The answers to this and other problems can be found in the Bible. When one takes the time to read, one can learn a great deal about life.
In answer to question 3, conservative Christians might point to Romans 1:18-27, which suggests that God "gave [people] over to shameful lusts", because they "neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him", and that they engaged in idolatry. — Matt Crypto 16:46, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

"Isnt the goal of every species to keep on reproducing in order to keep their species alive?" The Bible says to "go forth and multiply and fill the Earth". Of course, by now, with six billion of us roaming this planet, the Earth is quite full, thank you very much, and it is overpopulation that threatens our ability to keep our species alive, not failure to reproduce.

I've taken numerous PSI Seminars and would like to find more than just the company line on Thomas Willhite, the starter of PSI Seminars.

thanks -- 146.137.57.34 20:04, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
Tom Willhite was born on January 10, 1940 in Oklahoma. His parents were Jim Willhite and Lorene Wakefield Willhite of Oklahoma. His sons are Thomas Dale Willhite Jr., born in 1958 currently from Eureka CA and Kevin Dewayne Willhite of Broken Arrow OK. Tomas D. Willhite Jr. is married to Jennifer K. Willhite. Kevin D. Willhite is now a single dad, divorced from Lorinda. Tom's daughter is Valerie Ruth Willhite House, from Gilbert /Tucson AZ. Valerie Ruth Willhite House is married to Terry House. These adult children are from his first wife Betha Ruth Willhite of Broken Arrow OK. Jenessa Helene Willhite Meyers is the daughter from his second wife, Jane Corwin Willhite. Jenessa was married to Jeff Widdecombe Meyers (a vinter family) on May 31,2004, by a Catholic priest, at High Valley Ranch in Clearlake Oaks CA, and they now have a little girl named Jenevieve, and two twin toddler girls. Jenessa went to Terra Linda High School in San Rafael CA and then onto USC where she majored in theater. Jenessa is an essential executive with her mom Jane in the PSI Siminars, PSI World organizations. Other exectives are Shirley Hunt, of Syrian descent, a life-long friend of Jane's from Boston MA, along with a 1988 grad, now PSI executive Kathy Quinlan-Perez. Ron Newman owner of defunct Red Onion Restaurant which had numerous racial discriminatory offenses and now owns new restaurant Sharkeez restaurant, is on the PSI World Board. Bob Sikora, owner of Bobby McGees restaurant, is on the PSI World board. Tom's brother Ron Willhite, is a pentecostal minister in Roswell GA. Ron is now retired. Tom grew up fairly poor in the Redondo Beach-Torrance CA area and rode with the Hells Angles as a young man. His life turned around when he met his tutor, William Penn Patrick, the owner of Holiday Magic Cosmetics. Tom met and married Jane Corwin from Boston MA at Holiday Magic company. Jane is a Roman Catholic and Tom became a Catholic when he married Jane. Tom studied under Alexander Everett, who was a Unity ministerial student and Jose Silva student became a facilitator of Alexander Everett's Mind Dynamics Seminars. William Penn Patrick bought Mind Dynamics in 1970 to add to his Leadership Dynamics sales training courses. Mind Dynamics was created by Alexander Everett in 1968. Tom and Jane attended the MD courses plus the instructors’ course. Personal success could be achieved through the conscious use of the subconscious mind. Everett came from the UK for study to become a Unity minister after growing up in the Unity Movement in England. Tom would implement subconscious mind techniques along with WPP’s philosophy as a sales trainer for Holiday Magic. The budding seeds of PSI World began here.
Tom admits in his manuscripts that his tutor, William Penn Patrick, of the Leadership Dynamics Institute's seminars contained acts of humiliation, verbal abuse, physical assault, and sleep deprivation. Tom told those of us in the early days about WPP physically assaulting LDI seminar participants. WPP even physically slapped his wife Marie until she couldn't stand it any longer and divorced him. Marie then physically slapped her female Leadership Dynamics students during the Leadership Dynamics Women's Seminar. WPP studied the Bible every day. WPP’s reaction to the Federal Trade Commission’s investigation of Holiday Magic in late 1969 resulted in a screaming and table pounding match while he espoused the fact that he would never compromise with the F.T.C. An executive tried to persuade WPP to make the changes the F.T.C. wanted stating that he was trying to build a company that would be here 20 years from now. WPP said, “Let’s get something straight; I can steal more money in the next two years than you can make building an organization. It is going to take the Federal Trade Commission at least two years to get us and we are going to proceed on that line.” Salesmen were not paid commissions on plan enrollments and garages were loaded up with unsaleable-nonrefundable Holiday Magic products. Tom understated it when he said, "He did a lot of wrong things," in his manuscripts. Eventually Holiday Magic was found to be a pyramid scheme by the F.T.C and filed for bankrupcy. Tom's tutor, William Penn Patrick, was killed on Saturday, June 9, 1973 at 43 years old on a steep ridge near his Clearlake Oaks Ranch House (High Valley Ranch). Also killed in the plane was Christian Hagert, 30, of Helsinki, Finland, the director of Holiday Magic. Soil samples taken at the crash site and an intensive investigation indicated that the P 51 Mustang plane ran out of gas, which cleared a mechanic of allegedly performing faulty repair work before the flight. High Valley Ranch was auctioned off by the government and was bought by Thomas and Jane Willhite in 1973. The seminars have ebbed and flowed throughout the years with PSI 1 for Kids, PSI 3 for Teens, PSI 4, PSI 7, PLD, PSI 9 (Women’s Leadership Seminar), PSI 10 (Men’s Leadership Seminar), and Principia. PSI 5 is no longer held and has been incorporated into PSI 4 and PSI 7. PSI 2 (Communications) and PSI 6 (Business) Seminars are no longer held. They also have been incorporated into PSI 4 and PSI 7. Front and Center has been added to teach the art of giving presentations and to reap a new crop of seminar facilitators. Tom’s vision, which came to him from a sound sleep as recorded in the Book of Visions, is straight out of Hermetic philosophy which can be summarized by seven basic principles: mentalism, correspondence, vibration, polarity, rhythm, cause and effect, and gender. See The Kybalion ~ Hermetic Philosophy by Three Initiates. Sadly Tom was taken from us on a Wednesday morning, at 9:19 a.m. September 21, 1983 when he was 43 years old. He crashed his Kecskes Der Jager D-1X plane at High Valley Ranch in Clearlake Oaks, CA while performing aerobatics before a group of PSI 7 students. About 40 students witnessed this tragic event. After performing rolls, loops, pull-ups and a final wing over, he crashed into the ground.
He transitioned from this life by way of an intrathoracic hemorrhage, laceration of the heart, and a crushing injury of the chest. The Jones & Lewis Clear Lake Memorial Chapel mortuary in Lower Lake CA handled the transition. Tom was buried on Tuesday, September 27, 1983 in the Mount Olivet Catholic Cemetery at 270 Los Ranchitos Road, San Rafael CA 94903. May he rest in peace.

I have shoulder length hair which I tie back with a plain hair band (that's a common commercially manufactured rubber band in a cloth sheath to keep it from snagging on the hair). My wife usually uses a couple of these spaced a few inches apart; her hair is longer and straighter, but tends more towards tangling. We both move around a bit in our sleep (more so for me). Unbound hair tends to get trapped under one another which is rather uncomfortable during any subsequent movement. 216.240.40.182 19:32, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi I got a letter which was written in Vigenere code and I can't decipher it. I dont know who the sender is, but I managed to decode some paragraphs by the use of a key included in the letter. However I can not decode the other paragraphs and the key works not with these, so I want to ask if anybody can help me with this. The other question is that the key for the other paragraphs is "kqaiyawikqeqc" and seems not to be the name of a person or place or thing. Can anybody help with this? Many thanks.

i saw here ( http://dcu.smartmemes.com/) that in The End of Time in dc universe, the dc universe will be "destroyed" (i don't remember what comic shows this) and after this the Time will loops around to its own beginning. (Flash v2 #141). So my question is, if the dc universe will loops backs, after looping back for the first time, what will occur in the year of the marvel versus dc things [since only dc universe will loops back, so the marvel universe will be in a very far future, and since that ultramega-gods that created dc and marvel are friends now (since the multiverse where those gods are didin't looped back) they will not try to make a war between those 2 universes]

If they did have the child, were the mothers allowed to work and if so where would they typically work and how much would they get paid? After they had a child out of wedlock, would they be able to get married?

The proper answer depends on your definition of famous and whether by ‘is’ you mean living. Power too is difficult to measure, consider Pol Pot or Mao. I guess until recently, Saddam Hussein might have been the answer.

I need to write a one act play for school (4 cast members). I've been given little advice on how to go about doing this, so I'll ask here.
A one-act play is generally a half hour to an hour in length. A page of dialogue generally takes a minute to act out, so you're looking at 30 to 60 pages. That's including a lot of spacing. A plot almost always has a conflict and a resolution. Characterization is also very important. One of the big mistakes made by novice writers and bad writers is to neglect to give each character an individual voice. You don't want all your characters to sound the same like those overly verbose kids in Dawson's Creek.
Make sure you write each page carefully with all dialouge and props and characters written correctly. Note that if you need any sort of scenery to have that written out too. 40 pages would take approximately 45 minutes to act out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.154.9 ( talk • contribs)

The best I can describe it as — AMV, after all — is an anime with a red-haired boy who wears tiny little round glasses and has magic powers(?), lots and lots of girls around, and he has a stick thing that's all wrapped up in white strips of cloth. There's also a white chibi weasle in one shot.

Some 15 or 20 years ago there was a program on PBS of British origin that was most unusual. I think it was shown twice . It consisted entirely of shots where the camera was the eyes of the protagonist. It was otherwise silent. The protagonist simply traveled from place to place through places of business such as factories and warehouses traveling from locale to locale, room to room, and at the end of each of the travels of the protagonist he would come upon someone by surprise, and without so much as a word he would shoot him dead. There were many such scenarios in this movie. It might have occurred during the bad IRA British troubles. I have never been able to find that program. Has anybody ever seen this or know what it is? Please tell me. —This unsigned comment was added by Moebius00 (talk • contribs) .

At our school, we have an administration program that blocks certain sites, e.g. for instances of the word 'pornography' etc. Wikipedia has never been blocked before but now it is being blocked due to "dangerous files".

Aah but when a site is blocked, the block log appears with for example "triggered ten counts of the word nudity" or somethnig like that. This is due to "dangerous files" Perhaps an ambiguous signal is being sent out that may be interpreted as malicious? Cdmstewart 00:01, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

that's only if its a static address, which i doubt. it looks like a basic class c subnetted addy, which can run from a few thousand addys, to alot more, and being dynamic, once he's logged off, its given away to another, so your traceroute is a moot point. have the guy type "ipconfig" in his command prompt and see what the addy is now. If the guy owns the static addy, he can simply call his ISP and ask where the routing station is. easy stuff. egas

I want to make a Spongebob Squarepants fanstuff wiki, and a type of Homestar Runner wiki. Do I have to ask the creator for permission? Cheesia
Well, Cheesemail is my own version of Strong Bad Email. I'm trying to get more messages from everyone so I can keep answering them in public. It's like a hobby of mine, and it's very fun. I'm also going to make an online DVD. (No disk, just when I post something acting like a DVD.) It's not really a Homestar Runner fansite, but a Cheesemail fansite inspired by Homestar Runner. So I need permission to do a Cheesemail wiki? If I answer these on the HRWiki, there are rules to put characters in the email shows. It's no fun. This has nothing to do with Homestar Runner. I don't even answer these by getting emails. On this forum I go to, I must be PMed a message. Also, do I have to ask The Brother Chaps, creators of Homestar Runner, for permission? The wiki maker already got permission from TBC, does that mean everyone's allowed to make fansites? Cheesia
Ok, I guess I'm never going to make this wiki. No one's answering. Come on, I really want more messages. I'm waiting and waiting. Cheesia
It's almost been a day. Still no answer. Cheesia
But Joey Day asked them. Besides, TBC have never answered me before. Cheesia

I am an author writing a novel, and find reference material in the Wiki not only useful, but informative. my question is may i use information here without violating copyrighted material. I know when there is a reference to a particular book used as reference by posters i must, but is the Wiki open end public domain? I have reserched "Public Domain" in Wiki, and read that "for all practical purposes the public domain comprises copyright free work"., yet, "there is no such thing as public domain on the internet" Web pages have protection, as do copyrighted materials. non-copyrighted materials and expired copyrights are accessible to me notwithstanding. US Copyright Office and Wiki defines "Uncreative works", as works not of original idea. thus, unprotectable by copyright. and by the Berne Convention, pre 1923 is public domain, so im my case, the bible for one, is usuable fully and with no infrindgment. Still, I would ask that any authors who may be of service, and willing to take the time perchance allow me your knowledge or expeirence. Any help is very much appreciated...

Africans were miscontrued as having colloborated with Eurepeans on eve colonisation,is it really correct tosay say so?
Often after tribal wars the victors would sell the losers as slaves to the Europeans, who paid whatever the specific Africans were interested in(mostly glamerous things), but at that time there wasn't any nationalism movement or for that matter they didn't care about 'races'. It was also a fairly easy way to get rid of people not fond of you (for the Africans). Logically you can also deduct that at least a minimum of collaboration had to have been done, since at that time Europeans mostly had coastal colonies, which meant if no one worked with them they would have eventually have to moved inland to find more slaves.- Joneleth
Hello My name is Bharti Patel
I have a question for my sister, I hope you can answer it for me. My sister 's name is Sheela, she has a greencard but when her visa call came through her daughter was over 21 so her file cancelled. Her daughter is handicapped and has a mind level of under 10, but is almost 25 years old. She is not able to take care of herself, and Sheela cannot do so while residing in the US. How can she have her daughter come stay in US legally so her mom can take care of her. Please advise me if you can. Thank You Bharti Patel

I was wondering what people of high society, aristocracy, royalty and the such would do when in similair formal company when they needed to fart or burb? Do they hold it in? or for a fart do they go to the toilet, in that case if you have flatuence you would have to be going very often and might appear impolite or something. Weird question I know but who ever thinks about these things? Kingstonjr 21:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
=: The key is not to hold it in, the key is to avoid it in the first place. If you are going to an elegant gathering tomorrow night, avoid substances tonite and tomorrow morning that tend to give you gas. Discipline yourself. Do not pick your nose at a stop light. Only do so when the vehicle is in motion. But only between the speeds of 35-45. Below 35 and other drivers do not have to concentrate as much and will notice you. Above 45 requires two hands on the wheel. Burping? Avoid too much carbonated beverages and overeating. If a burp is inevitable ease it out quietly and carefully into your napkin. If someone is paying so much attention to you that they are taken aback by your mannerless behavior it is they with the problem not you. Just be discreet. Taktiks 11:36, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to play laser tag in a couple days, and I'm considering going "all out" in terms of camouflage and such. The playing environment is indoors, with mostly black walls with small light colored strips of paint in places. What would be the most effective way for me to (without breaking the game rules, like covering targets) camouflage myself? This is the site for the place I'm going to http://www.planetlazer.net/ Flea110 02:18, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
Stand perfectly still.The eyes recognize movement in the dark more quickly than anything else..........hotclaws**=
Ok, this is original research but this might help future people who want to play at Planet Lazer (I've played there multiple times). The arena is fairly large, a smoke machine is used fairly extensively. I would suggest a very dark grey, and possibly a toque. The strobe lighting makes it a little hard to maneuver while hiding and the audio effects on your vest will give you away. Hiding spots on the upper deck are the best, just be sure to keep moving around and find a good barrier. Games get a little nuts and you might get hit a few times.
Your gun has a bomb option, it is your friend, find a group of people all together and bam, stats padding :)
Anyways, enjoy your game, its a great place. (thinking about it, I have a couple free play tickets sitting on my desk, I really should go and play :) -- Tawker 06:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Having managed a Planet Lazer all through HS + College, camouflage really is the least important factor (I've worn white and glowed like a sore thumb and still got the highest score). With the lights on your vest and the sounds it makes, standing still and trying to 'blend in' and sniping people makes 'YOU' the perfect target. While it is true that dark colors will help you, the best strategy (and this is after literally *THOUSANDS* of games I've played (with the highest score ever recorded)), is to calmly walk around and stalk individuals, bomb groups as you come on them (make sure they are the other team first!!!) and be aware. I can not stress how important being calm is... people that are amp'd up (I've seen so many people chug energy drinks before playing and ALWAYS come out with poor scores), since a calm person needs one shot to hit the most valuable target while the juiced players will shoot aimlessly and miss enough times for you to get the money shot off. Always be in motion, walking calmly, and scope out how your score increases by a large factor (people who stand still are the *BEST* targets).
Think of the scene in RoboCop when he is calmly walking through a field of bad guys shooting them once and onto the next target... the Zen of violence. Be RoboCop and you will always win.

I am not sure if you can help me with this but I feel I should ask before puting anything into my Fictional book that I am working on.
In the book the children of their dead Mother and Father who went to Peru to check out a story they heard about a virus that only Kill certain people and not others. So they went to Peru to fine out what it is. They found it and brough it back to the states. It has now gotten out of hand. Both mother and father are dead so the children have to fine a a way to destroy the virus and must go back to where they frist found it.
Ok, so what I want to know is where would one go in Peru to fine something like this. What would the people be like. and how would they get there.
I do not want to write in my book anything that would sound dumb and say something that isn't so. Even though my book is only fictional I would like some parts of it to be as close as possible to reality as I can without getting to far off.
I hope I made myself clear. And with hopes someone can give me some idea as to what, where and whom I can use in my fictional book I am now working on.
If you can not I understand and will have to try my best to get some info what I can for the book.
I thank you for your time. Katherine M G

Hi:
I am somewhat confused as to the punctuation for lists. I see list with no punctuation, some with periods, some with semi-colons. Myself, I would have used semi-colons or none at all...Periods, if they were sentences.
My example is with the article entitled: "List of educational institutions in Karachi"
Monotechnics, Polytechnics & Technology Institutes / College Affiliated with Sindh Board of Technical Education SBTE for DAE courses:
Then I see on down further, items with no periods. On another article, I saw semi-colons. Others, I saw punctuation on every other list item.
Question: What is the rule?
Another question: Should I have to remove the period from a list item that is a link, would I not ruin the linking if it is part of the link?
Hope that I did not ask for too much, or this might be a silly question.

This survey is conducted amongst Wpians. One million people in the world did contribute to one million articles in the English WP. I should like to collect more precise facts about that event that took place around Feb. 2006.
The survey is launched simultaneously in Reference Desk/Misc and Village Pump/Misc.Please only give an answer here ; results, if of any help, can become a [ [Wikipedia:million survey] ] entry.
Reference deskers should only be allowed to guess and Village pumpers should try to give accurate numbers. Then we’ll mix results.
1) How many words did each user write in WP (main) ?
2) How many are left by user after refactoring, &c. ?
3) In which countries are located those users ?
4) What kind of curve depicts the distribution of contributions per user ?
5) How many hits reach the most accessed pages in WP ( our statistics are as old as 2004) ?
6) What are the fact numbers and comparisons that could be exploited in paper, broadcast or web media to promote WP (like "The population of Fiji, or Estonia, or one quarter of Toronto ... contributed ..." or "This project compares only to the Pyramids for the number of people involved.")
Thank you for your answers. -- DLL 20:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
One million people is simply not correct. A large number of contributions are done by anonymous users - some of these were unique numbers but many others were IP numbers which have been used by multiple users. A fairly large number of the "one million registered users" have no edits because they were either never used, registered to prevent fradulent use of names similar to established users or known trolls, or only used by vandals whose every edit has been deleted. How would we count users whose every edit was reverted but not deleted? - they haven't actually contributed to the encyclopedia. We really have no way of knowing how many people have edited Wikipedia. Rmhermen 04:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I am the great grand daughter of Gaspar Acosta from Puerto Rico.
Recently, I was told a story about my great grandfather and his involvement in the capture of a criminal by the name of Correa Coto (I did find some information on the criminal).
The story that I was told was that Coto was very much feared, so much that even police officers would avoid him. However, my great grandfather was the exception and pursued Coto (and I am assuming killed him). I was also told that there may some sort of dedication to my great grandfather for his accomplishment, although I do not know which town in Puerto Rico would have such a dedication. The only information I was able to obtain from my mother (the granddaughter of Gaspar Acosta and the only person in her family to have met the man - she was a child at the time) was that he was from a town called Juana Dias.
My grandfather (Angel Luis Rodriguez), the son of Gaspar Acosta, died in October of 2005. My understanding was that they had been estranged for many years prior to Acosta's death.
My question is: Is this true? Is there anyway to confirm this family "legend"? I would very much like to find out as much as I can about Gaspar Acosta and his role in the capture of Correa Coto. I have just started my search and any help that you may be able to provide would certainly be appreciated. If you have any suggestions as to where I may be able to obtain additional information, that would be great too.
Thank you for your time and attention, Lori Simmons

hello, my uncle james and i were talking of the game i have played like 3 or 4 times in school and he hasn't and what the deal was is you had like a bunch of people a doctor a scientist a pregnant lady a child a mechanic a priest a therapist etc right an the escape pod only holds half of them and you have to decide who stays and who goes do you know where i could find a copy of that type of game to show my uncle james?
the other reason i am fascinated by that game is that i realized, recently after all these years that there is no right answer because of course we would save all of them sean anderson
