It&#039;s what you get by default in Windows XP, Vista, and their server products. It&#039;s primary distinguishing features relative to older Microsoft systems (FAT and FAT32) are that files can be secured...

When was the last time someone you know was arrested for criticizing the government? Of course, there are serious concerns. I don&#039;t know anybody who likes the Patriot act, but it&#039;s mainly about invasions of privacy, not freedom of speech. Every day, people post...

But it&#039;s hard to do either one well! There&#039;s a popular misconception that these ideas are incompatible, they are not. If you&#039;re planning your life well, you&#039;re doing the best you can with what you know NOW, and that includes appropriately...

(USA)<br /><br />As I understand it (I&#039;m not an attorney), the bankruptcy only affects those you owe money to -- I don&#039;t think the court forces all of your credit accounts to be closed. However, the BK will show up on your credit report and that may well affect how those banks treat your account. ...

Do you see the same thing I see?<br /><br />Lots of things have risks. It&#039;s a matter of balancing competing concerns... it&#039;s expensive to maintain and operate prison systems, and prisoners who are idle may well be likely to get into more trouble than those who are working. In addition, we generally believe that work is healthy...

I imagine the average is right about average for humans.

If you don&#039;t stand up for your own value in the face of that kind of attitude by your partner, you&#039;re likely to be a victim for a long time to come. I suggest you stay out of relationships for a while: get on your own...

I have known my boyfriend has cheated on me but have done nothing about it. is something wrong with me?<br /><br />Well it&#039;s likely that you&#039;re weak in the self-confidence and &quot;defending your boundaries&quot; area. That doesn&#039;t mean there&#039;s anything *wrong* with you, but it probably does indicate that some changes might be in order. It&#039;s possible that your desire to be wanted...

When a magnetic field *moves* relative to a conductor like wire, a voltage is generated. But if the magnet just sits there, nothing interesting...

The online study guide from Grauer is unavailable.<br /><br />No, actually. I&#039;ve been a programmer for 25 years, and last I heard nobody was even studying COBOL anymore, let alone creating online trainings! But have you tried Google.com? It&#039;s a new way to find information, even works with ancient history :) Fri, 02 May 2008 14:34:25 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2889346 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2889323 Why dis we forget to congratulate WIDE AWAKE PHOENIX on become our newest MAESTRO?<br /><br />Because we were sleeping, of course!

Could it be an illusion?<br /><br />The mind is a complicated animal, capable of generating many different states of consciousness. Normally when we speak of a &quot;higher&quot; state of consciousness (note the vertical metaphor is somewhat subjective), we&#039;re talking about &quot;more awareness than usual&quot;. This kind...

Any N-dimensional problem, when reduced artificially to 1 dimension (i.e....

There&#039;s only one type of human being, we&#039;re a single species. The Chinese are not fundamentally different from white heterosexual Americans, and neither are Muslims, or blacks,...

It&#039;s the consensus of thousands of scientists looking at an enormous mountain of data. There is also a significant &quot;disinformation&quot; campaign run by a relatively powerful and well-funded group of interests who have a lot at stake and are spreading misinformation to...

I consider that everyone needs some privacy, and having an intimate partnership makes that even more important, because trust and openness are dynamics that are...

Would you want to be held responsible for what someone else said?<br /><br />Nobody is holding Obama responsible for what his pastor said. The controversy is over Obama&#039;s apparent tolerance of his pastor&#039;s views... whether or not he should have spoken out, left the church, etc. Thu, 01 May 2008 07:48:49 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2879275 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2877536 Why are creationists opposed to evolutionary theory, when the vast majority of people who believe in evolution also believe in God, and the vast majority of people who believe in God also believe in evolution?<br /><br />Well I&#039;m not sure that your assertion about the correlation between God and evolution beliefs is accurate. But, the reason creationists try to undermine evolution is simple: the Bible says the Earth was created in 6 days by God, including all the animals and people. That disagrees...

One common approach is to buy a set -- the engagement ring has a matching wedding band (usually less fancy and expensive). He gives her the engagement ring, and then on the wedding day presents the band. The whole thing then often goes to a jeweler so they get soldered together...

Would you like to congratulate her for her useful contributions?<br /><br />Given that she&#039;s committed badgicide at least once, it does seem ironic to be congratulating her for being a Guru. But the fact is she&#039;s been around a long time and does great stuff, so probably we should just congratulate her for being a helpful, informative bagger and a good person.

Someone who is 14 is a minor, so Answerbag does accept minors, just not those under 14.

So I ask them where is the missing link? If it can not be found, isn't evolutionisim kinda like a fable....?<br /><br />I&#039;m not an atheist. But I must say, attitudes like this one do more to discredit religion than any army of scientists could do -- when the depth of ignorance of science is this severe, it gives the anti-religion camp enormous amounts of ammunition: &quot;Look at these dunces, they...

He should probably be trying to locate someone who deals in classic musical instruments to get it appraised. If nothing else, going on to eBay and trying to find similar items makes sense. Ask Darryl61, he makes guitars with his own hands. I bet he knows a lot about this.

I am going to be going to Egypt soon and we want to get married.What is the process that we need to go through to be able to get married and have him come with me to the US ?how long of a wait?<br /><br />Note that it may be quite a bit quicker to get a fiance visa and have him come to the U.S. and get married here, instead of marrying him in Egypt and then seeking a spouse visa.

So the mind can form many concepts, therefore it can have many fates -- they&#039;re just not objectively real.

We have faith when we don&#039;t know -- we fill in the gaps in our knowledge by choosing to believe. This simply isn&#039;t necessary if you know. Of course, one could make the case that &quot;filling in the gaps in knowledge&quot; is a dangerous...

People do it for a variety of reasons: some people want a &quot;trial period&quot; to see how they&#039;re likely to get along in close quarters for a long period, some people have a problem with marriage due to their prior experiences or...

Can't anyone just give her some breathing room?<br /><br />Because she&#039;s held as a role model for young girls, that puts her in a big fishbowl with bright lights. Really, what we should be training children is to think for themselves, and be themselves... rather than encouraging them to be like a superstar or other &quot;hero&quot;. Heroes...

Then your friend becomes insane from the fact that his girl is cheating on him and asks for his weapons back. Do you give him the weapons? Does that make you moral or immoral?<br /><br />No, I keep the weapons and perhaps try to arrange shelter or escape for the girlfriend and therapy for my friend. Of course, if he&#039;s uncooperative I build a dungeon in my basement and lock him up, feeding him only french fries and Barry Manilow CDs until he shapes up. I&#039;m not nuts.

When we're home, he's very loving and not mean anymore. I've told him about it and he denies it. What do I do?<br /><br />Sounds like time to make a scene! Next time you&#039;re with the family, and he&#039;s doing his thing, push back: challenge his behavior, right there in front of the family. Be fair, though -- you want to have the moral high ground.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't and isn't, but I'm just making sure.<br /><br />What you&#039;re complaining about is probably &quot;clinging&quot; -- yes, it&#039;s nice to have attention, but you probably sense that he&#039;s not quite comfortable with himself, and is somehow seeking validation from you.
