Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:48:40 -0800

What are the studying methods that some one should follow in order to score good marks?

Understand rather than memorise. What's happening behind the scenes, why something is so, how the answer is derived is so much more important than the answer itself. Memorising is only good for funky words or things that don't have a pattern. Knowing how something works enables...

Answer to Do you prefer old time's cartoon or today's cartoon ..?

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 03:24:57 -0800

Do you prefer old time's cartoon or today's cartoon ..?

Old school Looney Toons hold a special place for me. They were not at all PC, but not because they were daring, but because they showed society as it was. Smoking and drinking in saloons, guns and bombs in the war. There were elements of literature and classical music living alongside racism,...

Answer to What's the difference between String.valueOf(i) and i.toString(), i being an integer?

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 18:53:49 -0700

What's the difference between String.valueOf(i) and i.toString(), i being an integer?

If i is an int, it is a primitive value, and does not have the toString() method available. Hence, if it requires translation into a String, it needs someone to do the work for it. The Integer class (not primitive) has several Stringifier methods: There's the toString(), inherited by...

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:57:16 -0700

Besides wake up, what's one thing, YOU often dread doing in the morning?

Stepping on the cat. She's usually on the bed, but sometimes she's on the rug thingy next to the bed. And I go and plant my big ape feet on her and "RWROWR!", a flurry of fur, two or three choice words and a neat set of bleeding pin pricks in my shin.

Are werewolves real? How can they be real? Humans changing into wolf beast like creatures, hmmm Humans are primates how can they turn into canines? This guy keeps telling me they are real, but I don't believe him sure wolves are real but werewolves?

Sure, why not? If you can be real, and the world you live in is real, why can't they be real? Who said humans were primates? Your science teacher? He read that from a book. Your friend read about Werewolves from a book. If your science teacher is correct, why isn't your friend...

Answer to Why does my screen wink at me as if it is taking a picture?

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:32:27 -0700

Why does my screen wink at me as if it is taking a picture?

It *is* taking a picture. And distributing it all over the net, stealing your credit card details and sleeping with your best friend's friend behind your back. If it's during startup, it could be the video card and drivers initialising, that's pretty normal. If it's while...

Do you love money?

That stuff? It rules my life. I can't do anything without it, and apparently I'm no one if I don't have it, yet it's only good when I give it away. I bust a hump for some guy to give me some, only for a whole bunch of other guys to come and take it away. Money sucks.

Mon, 21 Sep 2009 05:01:26 -0700

Is Java hard to learn?

Goodness, no! No harder than painting. Of course, anyone can paint, but painting a master piece, well... that takes a while to perfect. Mistakes, learning, techniques, it's all a rich topic. The fundamentals, however, are quite easy to understand. My advice would be to practice examples,...

Answer to I get tiny white chunks in the back of the mouth that have a vulgar taste and odor, but I don't think it is from my tonsils, I think it is from my sinuses. Is there a term for this condition?

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 22:35:16 -0700

I get tiny white chunks in the back of the mouth that have a vulgar taste and odor, but I don't think it is from my tonsils, I think it is from my sinuses. Is there a term for this condition?

They appear to be right at the back of the mouth. I used to use a tube and literally suck them out for a friend of mine. I think it's just food particles or something getting stuck in the cavities. Most of the time they'd pop out by themselves, but every so often they'd get stuck...

Thu, 10 Sep 2009 02:34:50 -0700

We all do it. But why is generalising about a distinct group (Jews, Moslems, Gays, Germans, Blacks, Whites, etc etc) wrong? This is a categorical question to clarify my thoughts. I hope it will serve you as well, so I am giving my own answer directly.

It's not wrong. Generalising is what gets us by in a world full of incomplete information. Why don't I go wandering down that dark alley while whistling a merry tune and jingling my spare change? Why do I instantly distrust a man with a tweed jacket, yellow teeth and an overly friendly...

I need a place in melbourne that can replace a laptop screen, also how much dose it cost?

How old is the laptop? In many cases, it's a whole lot better to buy a new one that have to fork out dosh for a potential fix. That said, there's a decent repair place in Richmond, I think it's called MLN or something. I went there a few years back for a friend's notebook,...

It can be said that when it comes to humour, timing is paramount. What is a screamingly funny situation in one context, is tasteless or even off putting in another. Which leads to an interesting notion: Humour can be seen as an indicator of a relaxed setting, of rapport between people, of...

This so-called "world" is filled with cruelty and violence and thats why we come into it crying...

No, I came into it crying because as a baby I couldn't do much else. Apparently the doctor also gave me a good slap as well, just to ensure I was breathing. I wouldn't really put that down as cruel or violent. Besides, there's a lot more than just cruelty and violence in this...

Sun, 05 Jul 2009 02:41:16 -0700

If you're of any religion, how do you feel about there being so many religions and sub religions, meaning that there is a high chance that what you're devoted is wrong and you wasted so much of your life on nonsense?

I don't consider religion to be based upon numbers and odds of getting it "right". Religion is more than just belonging to a denomination, or wearing a particular item, or saying a particular saying in the hope that you'll go somewhere cool after you keel over. In many ways...

Sat, 04 Jul 2009 00:05:54 -0700

Which special forces unit, do you think is the best in the world? The Americans Navy Seal or the British SAS?

It's kind of hard to say. The Special Forces of various countries tend to be shrouded in a veil of secrecy (and rightly so) so it's a tough to say exactly who did what and how and where and when, until quite some time after the fact. That said, I know that if I was going up against...

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 23:59:10 -0700

Its cruel n saddening for me but why do certain people in some countries eat dogs for their meals?

It's convenient, protein rich food, probably taste meaty. I know of many areas where roaming dogs are pests, and eating them would be a suitable solution to reduce the population, so long as they were checked for disease first. As with any meat, if the slaughter is performed quickly and...

Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:27:45 -0700

Have you ever seen blood in the moonlight? It appears quite black.

Yes. It's not that rich, red colour one would normally associate with blood. I think it comes down to the dark conditions whereby the colour perception within our eyes diminishes. I remember one time I was at a party. I was quite young, maybe ten or eleven, and we were mucking about in...

Tue, 30 Jun 2009 01:56:21 -0700

When I was younger I found too mini "dynamite sticks"; about two and half inches long and one or so inches thick. I was too scared to light them and see how big an explosion they would make. They stayed unlit until i lost them. Should I have lit them?

By not lighting them you've kept yourself, and your fingers, out of danger. Handling explosives by young children is a serious concern. Even small firecrackers can take off fingers and hideously deform limbs. Consider yourself a smart cookie (an intact).

I was then scolded, turned around and ordered to trudge back an retrieve said shoe. I finally found it waterlogged...

Answer to If we could scientifically prove God exists, what would happen to faith?

Thu, 18 Jun 2009 01:57:16 -0700

If we could scientifically prove God exists, what would happen to faith?

What an interesting question. The immediate answer would be that faith, as it stands, would be lost. However, the scientific concept is itself built on faith, and its proofs are only "proven" if the fundamentals are taken to be fact, in other words believed in. So, in a roundabout way,...
