Answer to:
I have a Sony PS3 and a Samsung HD TV. My PS3 has a high pitched humming sound - when I play games or watch Blu Ray. I have tried two different HDMI cables. Does anyone know how to fix that hum? Is the hum coming from the TV speakers or the PS3 itself? If the latter, try turning it on its side. If the hum goes away or changes pitch, then I suspect what you're hearing is simply the motor spinning. The only way to "fix" it would be to move the PS3 further away from your ears. If it's coming through the TV speakers, I don't know what might be going on. My...

Answer to:
If printing more money is the cause of inflation, why can't governments stop hyperinflation by removing money from their money supply? Overprinting is only one contributor to inflation. The hyperinflation being seen in Zimbabwe is the result of several things operating in a spiral. Goods become scarce, and the price rises according to the principles of supply and demand. This causes the cost of living to increase, which forces employers to raise salaries to compensate. Those businesses must then raise the price of their goods...

Living together is a part of that, but there are other things that also indicate marriage: sharing the same last name, holding joint accounts, filing joint...

Spray your second color and then add masking to all the areas you do want to remain that second color. Spray the third color. Remove all the tape. Making precise cuts in the masking...

That should cost about $15. *Don't* use a "Y" cable to connect two RCA sources to one RCA input. That risks damaging the outputs on your source equipment because the impedance of the input drops when you do that. It's relatively rare for it to happen,...

Why do people fall out of love is it a mental thing Love is something that needs to be rehearsed. You can't assume that just because you're in love now you'll always be that way. If you do not take action to keep your love alive, it *will* die. Sometimes even taking such action isn't enough. One person or the other might change to an extent where they or their partner no longer identifies with them as they once did....

Identify a counterexample for the conjuncture If the sum of two integers is even, then both integers are even. "14 + 9 = 23" "6 + 10 = 16 " 3 + 9 = 12" " none of these" I think you mean "conjecture." Break it down: you want a "counterexample," meaning an example of a circumstance that disproves the rule that has been proposed. The rule is: If the sum of two integers is even, then both of those integers are even. A counterexample would be any sum where either or both of two integers is not even, but the sum is. Now, examine each...

What's the difference between relativity and special relativity? (The two theories proposed by Einstein.) Special relativity is a particular application of the general theory of relativity. It describes motion within a certain inertial frame of reference, but it cannot describe an accelerating frame of reference, so it has no way of accounting for gravitation. Special relativity is experimentally demonstrable and has proved useful in the implementation of a variety of modern technologies (GPS,...

I've got a Presario 7360 with Windows 98 SE. I bought a HP Deskjet D1415 printer. HP's tech support says HP no longer has drivers for 98. Anyone have any suggestions. They also said I will have this problem with any new printer I buy. Unfortunately, they're probably correct. Win98 drivers for newer devices are getting harder to find. It's possible that someone out there has written one, but most of the hackers (and I mean that in the non-pejorative sense) have abandoned 98 at this point. Google doesn't turn up anything at all, and I'm really good at getting what I want from it.

There has been some research lately into retroviruses that will seek out cancerous cells and kill them.

The viruses will probably need to be engineered for each patient and each cancer, though, so I don't think we'll be seeing a miracle pill (or injection) any time soon.

Why are rainbows seen after every after rain? The residual moisture hanging around in the air scatters the light that hits it. If there is mist between you and the sun, the light coming from the sun will strike the mist, and the water droplets will act like tiny prisms, splitting the light into bands of color. The mist also makes the light visible, much like smoke will make a laser beam visible, by scattering it toward your eyes.

Usually a computer will enter Safe Mode if it failed to load properly last time. Either it encountered a problem while loading Windows or it lost power. Try restarting the computer and see if it reaches Windows normally. If it doesn't, then there's something wrong; you'll need to have someone look at it.

Answer to:
Being a person of better than average verbal skills-what is the difference between verbal abuse and a big ole fight(verbally, never physically)? isnt it just a fair fight where someone wins? Verbal abuse is the deliberate act of undermining a person's self-worth by belittling them or scolding them incessantly. A fight ends and hopefully the parties involved make up and apologize. Verbal abuse does not end, and the abuser will never apologize. It is a method of domination and control that denies the victim dignity.

Answer to:
The other day I was at a toy store and my two little girls wanted me to buy them a couple of dolls. They love dolls and acting like good mommies to them. Yet when we were lining up at the cashier, some woman told me that dolls are sexist. Your opinion? Your daughters asked for the dolls, so if anyone in these circumstances, it must be them, right? So you need to test it. Ask them which is better: girls or boys? If they don't say they're the same, then your suspicions are compeltely confirmed, and your girls are sexists. They should be reeducated immediately, so break out the electrodes, leather straps, and buckets of water.

Renting a car if you're below age 25 is way way more expensive. Would having a CDL help, or is that not even something they'd take into consideration? I doubt the rental company would care. Unless you're renting a bus, of course. The rates are higher simply due to statistics. Drivers under 25 cost more to insure because they are more prone to accidents. The rental company will pass that cost on to the customer.

Can Christians enjoy certainty of Biblical truth, or do they merely have the assurance of their faith that the Bible is factual?

Philosophers have been arguing matters of epistemology for millenia, and all they've really managed to do is to undermine the bases for their own arguments. I think we have to first operate on the assumption that objective truth exists and that it can be known. That may not actually *be* true, but...

If your man told you he had made plans to go out on a date with someone else, but didn't end up going because he got sick, what would you do? Are you sure he thinks of it as a date? I might say, "I'm going to have dinner with so-and-so tomorrow night." but that doesn't mean that it's a date. I have a few friends who are women that I might occasionally meet if I'm going to otherwise be home alone. There's nothing romantic there; just friends grabbing dinner and catching up.

I just flexed my calf and then squeezed and it instantly locked up into a charlie horse-- has this ever happened to anybody else on any muscle? I every once in a while get a horrible cramp in my toe after flexing it at night. It pulls the toe to the side and feels like it's going to dislocate it. Best I can do is to just grab all my toes and pull them toward my knee until the muscle relaxes. It usually takes a couple of minutes of tension before I can let go.

Ok, battery (AA), brand new. After just 30 secs it became red hot and melted the device that it was powering. I thought it might be faulty and I heard that they can explode. I panicked and hid it in the garden. What should I do? Once it's cooled down, it will not be dangerous. However, you should not handle it with your hands in case it is leaking. Use a disposable cloth or something. Contact the manufacturer and ask if they have a policy on replacing devices destroyed by a faulty battery. They'll probably ask you to send both the battery and the device to them so they can determine the cause of the...

I have a cousin that likes to disassemble things but cant remember how to put them together. My goal is to find a similar hobby not on the lines of destorying electronics. What could replace that "hobby"? I used to do that when I was a kid. For me, it stemmed from a desire to find out what made the gadgets work. I'd say start out with one of those electronic experiments labs--the kind where you have a bread board and a lot of wire jumpers and some other pieces of circuitry. It doesn't require any soldering, and you can do quite a bit with it, especially if you add components later...

Today, in the produce aisle of a newly opened supermarket, some clerk asked my husband if he was finding everything alright. Is a supermarket the kind of place where you need directions?

The practice of having clerks make contact with customers as they browse attempts to meet two needs: It tries to create a sense that the store's employees care about the customers, and it alerts potential shoplifters that the store's personnel are aware of their presence. Personally, I'd rather be left alone to wander aimlessly until I either find what...

The same punishment is declared for having sex with a close relative outside of wedlock. Take note that...

It is very similar to English, and it's nearly as well organized as Latin or Japanese. That rigid structure makes it a bit easier to learn.

How is the meander of a river helpful to that certain location? A meandering river is very good for farmland. If the river is taking a lot of turns, that means it is in the region for more of its length. It also means that the region is relatively flat, which is conducive to irrigation. However, meandering rivers make navigation a bit more problematic--they make it harder to keep roads on an easy grid, and a meandering river on flat land is likely to...

Now, "A house and lot cost $89,000 together." "and" usually means addition, so: H +...

Answer to:
A train is slowing down with an average acceleration of – 5.0 m/s2 (negative sign shows deceleration). If its initial velocity is 50. m/s, how far does it travel in 6.0 seconds? What is the formula needed so that I may answer that question? Since you can take acceleration to be constant (it's averaged, which amounts to the same thing), you can calculate the average velocity as the initial velocity plus the final velocity divided by two. For instance, if a car decelerates from 40 to 30 mph, you can get its average velocity with (40 + 30)/2 = 35 mph. Now, knowing that, you can figure out its final velocity easily...

Was the Star of David used in Judaism originally an Occult symbol(the Hexagram)? The hexagram apparently became associated with Judaism sometime after the fall of Rome.

The meaning of the term "occult" is simply "hidden." Since Kabbalah is a mystery sect, it qualifies as occult....

Unfortunately, not everyone is as fair-minded as they should be, and putting a bad situation in the past is sometimes worth suffering some financial hardship.

My laptop was stolen. Someone told me it is possible to trace the IP address of its current location if connected to the Internet by using the serial number. Is this true and how would one go about doing this? Purely theoretically, you could try to trace the MAC address of the ethernet adapter if you had it written down somewhere. The only way that would work, though, is if you are on the same LAN as the laptop. Even then, you'd have to have access to the network switch's software and some scary hacking skills to trace its physical location. I suppose it's possible the Internet...

Do you buy used electronics or computer equipment? (yard sales, Goodwill, etc.) Sometimes. I bought a microwave from a yard sale, but I was destitute at the time. Generally speaking, I would only buy computer gear from a trusted source. I picked up a workstation-class PC from a company that was upgrading. And I occasionally buy peripherals or upgrades from a local recycle and refurbish shop. They're a great source for things like network cards and RAM.

Mexicans are created from what races? When the Spanish invaded Mexico and South America, they did so with conquistadors and Catholic missionaries.

The Spanish did eventually start sending over colonist families, but not in nearly the same quantity as the English and French had been...

Wikipedia states that Fred Phelps does not permit members of the Westboro Baptist Church to marry persons outside the church. In your opinion, does that make this group a cult? Although I hesistate to use the word "cult" due to its significant cultural baggage, Phelps certainly meets many of the criteria that cults usually have. That one detail by itself isn't enough for me, though--after all, a lot of religions require both wife and groom to be converts before marriage. Having talked to some of the Westboro congregants, though, I have to say that...

Why don't tears freeze when it's below zero outside? The salt content in tears reduces their freezing point considerably.

It is not a pleasant experience, by the way.

93 F150. Engine isn't overheating, but defrost does nothing but fog the windshield up. When the heater is initially turned on, it blows a smoky substance out of the vents that smells like antifreeze. It *is* antifreeze. You have a hole in your heater core. It's not usually an expensive part, but replacing it typically involves removing the dashboard, which is labor-intensive, so it could cost a bit if you have a mechanic do it. I am given to understand that it is not difficult to replace it yourself if you're comfortable dismantling your dash. I'm no mechanic, though,...

The discomfort she is feeling is temporary, but "temporary" in this case...

The worship of Egyptian deities has not been continuous over the centuries, but at least a couple of the old cults have seen a semi-revival in the last 200 years. Most notably, the Cult of Isis picked up a few New Age feminists in the late 1900's. If I recall correctly, there were worshippers of Horus and Osiris in various places in Europe during the 18th & 19th centuries.

On my credit report I have 2 accounts closed from unpaid Credit Cards. It says $0 balance and account has been transfer/sold. Last payment 04/02. It now lies in the hands of a junk debt collector. Should I pay? How can I get if off my credit report? The only way to repair your credit is to pay those debts. Even once they're paid, though, it will probably take several years before they fall off the reports.

Answer to:
My step-son didn't get a high enough gpa 2 terms in a row in college to stay in the program he's in. He can switch majors, but would have to pay his own way instead of military paying. He wants us to co-sign. I don't think it's a good idea. Am I wrong? It depends on how responsible you think your stepson is, what his earning power is (with or without the degree), how capable you would be of paying it back if he defaults, how capable he is of paying for his own schooling without the loan or at a higher interest rate, and probably a few other things. It is perfectly possible for a student to earn a degree without financial assistance, but it...

I just had a box pop up that said "Hash check failed", after I uprated a question. What the heck does that mean? That probably means there has been a "collision" in the database. A collision occurs when the algorithm that assigns a unique ID to an entry tries to assign an ID that already exists. The process of assigning that ID is called hashing, and it's an inexact procedure. Try giving the question a different rating: +3 instead of +4. I don't know what the hash is based on,...

When downloading a file at an average of 450 kb/sec, is that what you would call "fast" internet? If that's an average, then yes, that's reasonably fast.

I typically get about 300 - 400 kbps on my 512 kbps ADSL service, and I'm pretty close to the phone company's servers.

Run the string from the top of the meter stick to the end of the stick's shadow and measure the angle between the stick and the string. edit: whoops! Forgot a step. Subtract your resulting angle from 90, and that is the angle you want. It's easier to use a calculator to get it from measuring the length of the shadow, though....

Can you block certain keywords (i.e. an email, username in a forum) from being searched on Google altogether? can you make the info on the forum 'private' if not? It is possible for a forum owner to prevent Google from indexing the forum, but there is no way for a user of that forum to do so. The only way to maintain anonymity on a forum is to use a web proxy and a username that you do not use elsewhere.

This should be included in the cost of having the piano tuned.

When I load them into my computer they seem to be way too big, like 800kb rather than 20 or 30 I see in other photos. Can this be done? There are two ways to go about it. The simplest is to take the pictures at the size you want them to be. Look for a setting on the camera that lets you reduce the quality. All this does is reduce the number of pixels in the image, so it will come out at a smaller size. The better way is to modify the picture once its on your computer.

What type of cord do i need for a Mercury Cyber pix s-555v digital camera?> The only cord required for your camera is a USB cable.

If you don't have the cable that came with the camera, take it with you to Radio Shack and ask them to sell you a cable that will fit it.

The Russians then took that word *back* to Russia, and it is now a...

In your opinion, does Religion complement spirituality, or does it simply devalue and deindividualize the spiritual experience and stand in the way of the individual relationship with "God"? I think religion is a critical component of an individual's spirituality.

However, religion *is* man-made, and most religions are hierarchical structures. Such structures tend to discourage independent thought and personal...

Why do anti-virus software companies allow home users to download their softwares for free? Do they do that out of the kindness of their hearts, or is this just a marketing ploy?

The second is because more private computers with anti-virus means less activity by the viruses themselves.

Answer to:
On the topic of God, some demand to know the answers before they believe, others accept that this is beyond knowing and accept the mystery. Which type are you? I require a sensible faith, but I accept that there are mysteries. I wouldn't believe if my religion failed to stand up to intellectual testing, but the existence of conundrums does not upset me.

Answer to:
Why has illegal drugs use in the united states continued to escalate even though billions of dollars have been spent to curb its use Because enforcement has no effect upon culture. The education campaigns haven't been as visible lately as they used to be; perhaps if more of the money were being spent on informing people instead of punishing them, that might make more of a difference.

What does liberal mean too you, does it mean freedom? To me, "liberty" means freedom. Liberal can either mean lacking restraint (as in, spreading peanut butter liberally on my bread) or represent a political and/or social position of advocating change for any of a variety of reasons.

Answer to:
Is Revenge ever justified? Within the moral framework I accept, no. Forgiveness is a great virtue and should be practiced. There are moral systems, though, in which revenge is not only justified but demanded. Among some societies, a failure to avenge the murder of a parent is almost as bad as killing that parent yourself.

Answer to:
If Paul was an apostle of Christ, is his counsel on spiritual matters accurate? *If* he was an apostle, then yes. If he wasn't, then maybe. The brightest minds of the first millenium generally seem to have agreed that Paul was a genuine apostle, and I have not personally seen any evidence that the other apostles disagreed with him. As persuasive as tradition is, though, I personally believe that the Bible can stand up to textual criticism, and nothing should...

Answer to:
Why can't I find anything on the actor Paul Walker? Possibly because you aren't looking in the right place. Try the Internet Movie Database: http://www.imdb.com If you register, you can ask questions on the forums, which generate an awful lot of garbage, but you will find there plenty of fans for just about everybody.
