Will the world end in 2012 just because the maiyan calander ends? Actually the maiyan (sic) calender doesn't end in 2012. The Mesoamerican Long Count Calender ends on 21st of Dec 2012 or 23rd Dec 2012 (depending on which scholar you favour). The Mayans were only one of several peoples that used that calender. It is rather silly to ascribe some sort of religious apocalypse to the last day of this calender just because it's far more accurate than...

Who thought Star Trek was really a fun movie!? As someone who has watched (and loved) Star Trek since the airing of the second original episode, I had extreme misgivings over this "re-boot".

I am curious do you know that many singers today use a computer program to enhance their voice quality on recordings? Does this annoy you? Maybe we should all try?

First used for famous effect in "Believe" by Cher, it is now used by a large part of the music industry. The Rap and Country segments are worst offenders.

You see somebody you know who is drowning. This person has discriminated against you because of your race, gender, sexuality, etc. As a result you despise this person. Would you help him. I wouldn't see someone I know, I wouldn't see a bigot, I wouldn't see an a-hole, I would just see a person in need of help. And I would help them. Of course later, being human, I might regret it.

What effect does sunlight have on DNA? It makes it easier to see. Having said that... sunlight is a form of electro-magnetic radiation (and by no means the only one). And electro-magnetic radiation affects many of the chemical processes that assist in the replication of DNA. So while there is no affect on DNA itself, sunlight will cause minor "glitches" while DNA is making "copies" of itself. Hope this helps.

In my opinion, the Stewart movie doesn't need a remake... it's perfect just the way it is. However, if a remake just HAS to be made, the Downey/Spielberg combo is a hard one to argue against.

J'ever notice that, when Xmas is on a Sunday (if you're in a Christian church) that the congregation NEVER sings "Happy Birthday to You," to Jesus Christ? Why not? If it is his birthday anniversary, shouldn't that be sung to him in church? Actually, X-Mas is celebrated as Christ's birthday, but most scholars agree he was born closer to summer than that. The RC Church moved X-Mas to Dec 25th in order to de-conflict it with other holidays and to use it to co-op the winter solstice celebrations of various pagan religions. So as you can see, singing happy birthday wouldn't be appropriate. Hope this helps.

When a music album goes out-of-print, then how do you buy the rights to get it reprinted? You can't. Publishing rights are a one way thing. Once a Record Company has the rights, they never relinquish them. There have been instances of songs that are sought for TV and/or movies that have become popular many years after going out of print. If they become popular enough the company will re-release the album. This practice can lead to some amusing outcomes... In 1982 the...

Wouldn't the headline have been sufficient, so the newspaper with that headline could have been found in the archives at a public library? As it probably was in the real life incident for which the movie was taken. The problem with basing a movie on a true incident is that most "true incidents" are boring and nobody will pay to see a boring movie. The filmmakers and writers most likely included the whole "blowing up the photo" bit in order to draw out the suspense. Hope this helps.

Politicians can't let this happen as the Doctors might design a system that works (and doesn't include huge profits for HMOs and Insurance Companies). And gosh knows we can't have that. (please forgive the sarcasm... I couldn't resist) Hope this helps.

Have you seen what the Democrat have in mind for our new health care bill? Check out this link and let us know what you think. What I think... Universal Healthcare in the US cannot possibly work until someone in power decides to stop catering to the Insurance companies and HMOs. This requires a touch of "cutting one's own throat" as those in power receive big bucks from these orgs in return for legislation that ensures a continuance of their massive profit margin. But then again what do I know......

Does a "dual-core processor running at 2.3 GHz" mean that the mother board has two processors connected in tandem, and each running at 2.3 GHz for a total speed of 4.6 GHz? What has a dual core to do with multitasking? The "running at 2.3 GHz" part means that the base clock of your processor is 2.3 GHz. The "dual-core" part means that the physical processor chip contains two separate execution cores. This allows the processor to perform two operations during the same clock cycle. Unless your software is written to take advantage of this (and Windows is somewhat), this won't double...

On average, 70 Americans die from terrorist attacks each year so we spend $161.9 billion to prevent it.

If DVDs came out the same day as Movies appeared in the theaters, would it affect your decision to go to a theater? Personally, I like the theatre a lot of the time, but I prefer the convenience of owning in the long run. This is a big question and the MPAA have been trying many different things over the years to make sure people continue to go to the theatre rather than wait for home viewing (TV/VHS/DVD/Blu-Ray). Steven Soderbergh released his movie "Bubble" (2005) to DVD and the theatres...

I get a message that says the song is not an "audio file" supported by Windows DVD Maker; in fact 90% of my Itunes music is not recognized. Most tunes from iTunes use AAC (Apple Audio Codec). This is a proprietary codec owned by Apple, therefore Windows cannot use it. There is the ability, built into iTunes, to "Convert to MP3". This will result in a files of slightly lesser audio quality, but the file will be usable by MS Windows programs such as DVD Maker. Hope this helps.

Why are British television actors so popular for US television series? Because the Hollywood machine is starved for new faces.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, star of the now cancelled "New Amsterdam" and co-star of the new possible series "Virtuality" is Danish (and I'm not...

Her hair, once long and luscious, got stringy, brittle and started to fall out in clumps. It got so that I was afraid for her. Then she disappeared. I found out...

Does any one make a single color, light color pack of disks. Thanks! No. Lightscribe currently does not come in lighter colors (like white). The reason for this has to do with the technology that LS uses. When you "burn" a cover on a LS disc, what you are doing is using a high power laser to alter the reflective properties of a layer buried within the disc. Lighter colors reflect too much light to allow the laser to do this. So LS discs have to use...

But as a rule of thumb... don't try to measure your child and your expectations of them against any other child....

Recent studies have shown some raindrops fall faster than terminal velocity, which is the measure of ultimate speed according to our understanding of gravity. (Basically: they fall faster than what we thought possible.) What do you think about this? Just another of life's little mysteries. Like the propogation of magnetic flux along a waveguide which, according to the math, can actually travel faster than light. Hope this helps.

How come we bailed out the rich bankers and we don't bail out the people being bankrupted by the hospitals and the doctors and the drug companies? As much as I hate to admit it, its because bailing out the rich bankers will allow the country to go on operating without a "crash" in the American economy. Bailing out ordinary people won't do a thing toward saving the country's financial ass. "People who go broke in a big way never miss any meals. It is the poor jerk who is shy half a slug who must tighten his...

Why are so many Americans obessed with homosexuality? From my experience in countries like England, France, Germany and the Netherlands people do not talk about it much and are more layed back about it. What makes it an important issue for America? It's not really an important issue for America. But... it is an issue with a high visibility quotient. So therefore if you are blowing the horn of rampant anti-gayness... you get more attention. And of course more attention is good. I would hazard a guess that many of these horn tooters have little or no true anti-gay feelings, but use it as a mechanism to gain support and/or publicity....

And why do they act like good-paying jobs are there for the asking and assume people who don't make $50K+/yr are lazy? Because the "American Dream" that is burned into your brain in school implies that anyone who works hard can become rich and successful. The downside of this is that there is an unstated implication that those who aren't successful must not have worked hard enough. So if you are poor, it's your own fault.

Create a folder on the drive and label it "Porn" (or Whatever) and dump all your pictures into that folder. Whenever...

Why do rechargeable battery's die? Rechargeable batteries use chemical means to store excess electrons in their negative "poles" and as any good chemistry student knows; chemical reactions eventually end when the interactions between all the chemicals present finally end. Thus, when the chemicals wear out, the battery stops holding a charge. This is different than a non-rechargeable battery. In a non-rechargeable,...

I don't get putting batteries in parrell direction.... wouldent the second betterys connection make the first battery short curcuit? Need info fast because project is due tomarrow and i need to see if i can get it to be more powerful! Batteries are not connected internally. There is a substance called a dielectric (or insulator) that keeps the positive and negative sides of a battery from being in contact. Therefore you can hook up as many batteries as you want in parallel and you will never short your circuit. Hope this helps.

Answer to:
A battery has two poles+ and - so when you connect the two with a wire the battery heats up and eventually explodes... but what i dont get is that the battery poles are connected from the inside so why doesnt it overheat naturally? They aren't connected inside, that's why. The two internal sections of a battery are held apart from one another by a barrier, called a dielectric (or insulator) which will prevent the passage of electrons between the two sections. When you connect up a battery you provide a path for the electrons from the negative side (where there is far too many) to get to the positive side...

They subsided, and I went back to sleep. The next morning when I awoke I still felt a bit funny, so I decided to go to the Base Hospital to get it checked out. Two ambulances and several hours later... I was staring up from the operating table, watching my heart beat on a monitor as...

Answer to:
How long until you feel dvds will be a thing of the past and Blu-Ray is the new "standard"? Never. It's all about compatibility. Every single Blu-Ray player out there will also play standard DVDs. This eliminates the need for Blu-Ray to replace DVD as a standard. When VHS gave way to DVD, it was because, try as you might, it was impossible to get your VHS to play in your DVD player (discounting the small niche of combo players). So the collection had to be rebuilt. The...

I have a mac, how can i run an .exe file on my computer. all that opens up is text edit. it works on pc computers but not macs. any ideas? .exe files are a hold-over from the CPM Operating System and were primarily used in MS-DOS. Now they are used exclusively in the Windows OS. On a Mac, to run an .exe (Windows executable) file you need to have an installed version of Windows on your machine's hard drive. You can do this with the "Boot Camp" software that comes with Leopard, which will allow you to install a...

It's always possible that your sound card is busted or that you have a virus that has corrupted your driver, but the most possible reason is that Windows XP is a crappy OS (better than Vista, but still crap).

My Apex DVD Player has started acting like the vertical hold is broken, but the TV is fine...there are no adjustments that I can see. Is it totalled, or how can I fix it? There is a possibility (if you are using cable or composite outputs) that your player is not including a proper horizontal sync pulse in its output. Try using a component or HDMI output (if your player is capable of such) and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't, you have no recourse but replace the player. A good replacement is the Philips DVP642/37 (can sometimes be found at...

Why would a homemade double layer DVD quit working at 16th song on both a computer and a TV? The same DVD works fine on my computer and TV, but not on my friends. Thanks. Many possible reasons. 1.

If the Six Million Dollar Man has only one bionic eye, how come he doesn't get a serious headache all the time? Duh! 'Cause it's a TV show, of course. Their only concession to "reality" was that during a long hard run, the arm-pit on his bionic arm's side wouldn't sweat.

Answer to:
What genre of books do you prefer reading? Hard Science Fiction is my preference. Although I will dip into sociological and fantasy type as well. Outside of that, I'll read anything... and I do mean anything. I've been known to pick up a historic recounting of the Boer War and I've also been seen with a Harlequin romance. Hope this helps.

Answer to:
What do you think is the primary reason for divorce? I already used several different search engines and got a bunch of different results. Lack of interest. In a marriage, as in most things, there has to be a desire to succeed for the chance of success. In other words, marriages work when both parties want them to work. And don't get me wrong, marriage is hard work. Love is needed, desire is needed, but most of all commitment is needed. Marriages now-a-days fail because nobody can be bothered to work at them. After...

Answer to:
Why is it that it seems acceptable for a woman to be bi/lesbian, but when a guy is, he is seriously looked down upon?Is this because men like to watch two women or is it something else? This is a recent cultural bias, brought about by the male dominated Christian religions over the last 2 thousand years. In ancient Greece and alot of the Roman dominated period, it was considered acceptable for men to take pleasure with other men and were not looked down upon for that reason. With the rise of the Judeo-Christian faiths, sex was looked at as a means of reproduction only and...

Has Hollywood and Madison Avenue skewed our vision of the "perfect woman" so much, that they are not found attractive, anymore, and only the skinny can be stars?

What was it about Star Trek that made William Shatner into such an . . . unusual actor? I've seen him in pre-Star Trek roles and he was pretty good. What changed? In Trek he had the opportunity to grow along with his character and this gave him little chance to explore other roles. By the time "Barbary Coast" and "T.J. Hooker" came along he had solidified his style and saw no need to change it. You can't say he was wrong as it has stood him in good stead for a long and remarkable career. Hope this helps.

What are your thoughts on the relationship between gun control and crime rates? I think that there is very little correlation between the two.

The exception to this would be the "crime...

My friend has a DVD disc with her digital camera pictures on it. The disc is cracked. Is there a software program (hopefully freeware!) that will run a DVD drive very slowly for file recovery so that the disk won't shatter? No. There are professional services with very expensive equipment that will do this. These are very good and as a consequence are very expensive. As far as I know that is your only option. We had to use them once where I worked and it cost us $2000 to recover the data on two cracked CDs. Hope this helps.

I am looking to buy an xbox for Christmas, My question is which one should i buy i have a TV with HDMI and want to buy a unit that will give me high definition while playing the game and while watching a movie ? Do i need to buy the optional dvd player? This may be moot as X-Mas has come and gone... The current fab of X-Box 360s have a new motherboard called a Jasper. This motherboard requires much less power and is most likely immune to the over-heating that plagued earlier models (Red Ring of Death). To ensure you get a Jasper, check the date of manufacture in the serial number window before purchasing. If it was built in December...

Answer to:
How do you record a high definition movie on a standard dvd or do I need to buy a special HD DVD this type of recording. I need to play the disk on my Samsung Home Theatre which is HD ready. Somebody please help The only way to do this is to convert the movie to a wmv file on your HD. Then burn it to a DVD and use a player that will play wmv files and output an HD signal (ie. PS3 or X-Box 360). You will only be able to output a 720p signal to your HD TV because of DRM issues. Hope this helps.

I am playing Crash Bandicoot Warped on my playstation 2. I have the 8 meg memory card inserted into slot 1. When I go to save the game it says that the memory card is not inserted in slot 1. Why and how do I fix this? Some third party cards (non-Sony) will crap out after a few uses. Your only solution is to get another card. Even Sony cards will eventually crap out, but they tend to use better flash memory and will last longer (typically 500-1000 saves). Hope this helps.

Hi, When I hooked up my PS3 with my Sharp 37" LCD (LC-37GB5U) with the regular AV cable, it worked fine. But today when I tried to use the HDMI cable I just bought, I can only hear the sound, but no picture shown on the screen. Does anyone know why? Without a game or disc in the machine, turn it on and continue to hold the power switch until the menu appears on your TV. This resets the output to the default values. In this mode the system should detect your TV resolution and adjust accordingly. Hope this helps.

Answer to:
Why was America named after Amerigo Vespucci? Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann produced a map of the world in 1507 called the Universalis Cosmographia. Because Waldseemüller was a fan of the Italian explorer's written works, in which he described his two voyages to South America, the new continent was labeled "America". By the time the outcry over this labeling had time to build, the map had already been...

What would you do if you found out your girlfriend lied about her sexual past? If she told you she was a virgin, but then you found out she was very experienced. I'd have to think about the reason she felt she had to lie to me. As far as I'm concerned her experience (or lack of) before we were together is not an issue. The issue for me would be "why?" she lied. Ask yourself if you were unintentionally giving off signals that she would not be acceptable to you if she weren't a virgin. Did she do it to spare you possible hurt...

Why can't diabetic cats use the same insulin that people do? Insulin is a species specific hormone and therefore there are problems with giving insulin from one animal to another. When insulin was first extracted for humans, oxen were used and problems resulted from allergic reactions. Further refinement and the switch to pigs and sheep allowed "natural" insulin to be used. However now using Recombinant DNA, human insulin can be synthesized and...

Okay, going to write a book, but, how do i get it into book / ebook / dvd form from my own out of pocket expenses and my home computer? As for E-Books... Overdrive Readerworks will covert a word/text/html file into .lit format for use with Microsoft Reader software. The standard version (free) will allow you to create e-books, but will not let you set up many types of internal links and/or formating and will not allow you to use a cover image. For that functionality you have to pay for the Publisher version. ...

If the debate over stem cell research is the destroying of embroys for research as a moral issue why is not fertility clinics that throw these away by the thousands also not a question that should be addressed? It all comes down to a question of publicity. That fertility clinics "throw out" (actually most are donated to stem cell research) fertilized eggs (called "zygotes") isn't as well known as the "fact" that nasty scientists want to chop up unborn babies so that rich people can get cures for what ails them (that's sarcasm, in case you were wondering).

Answer to:
My sister's car died and she jump started it and drove it home and then her boyfriends dad looked at the car and told her the motor is shot. The car is dead indefinitely. I find this hard to believe since she drove it home that day. Could he be right? I doubt it. Unless the motor seized up when she got home, the chances are it can be saved. Check out the battery, alternator and starter before pronouncing it DOA. However, depending on age, care and actual problem... the engine may cost more to fix than it's worth. Hope this helps.

I need to write a sonnet for english class, and have, but left the packet on rhyme and meter at school...so, are there any problems with this sonnet (first posted answer)? criticism is welcome, but no blazing please. It conforms to the typical Shakespearean form. However, the meter isn't right for the form, as the Shakespearean form uses lines of ten syllables, written in iambic pentameter. Having said that, 20th and 21st century poets have been writing non-metered sonnets and getting away with it, so you should be safe. I'd try to find a better rhyme for lines five and seven as rhyming...

Answer to:
Can people locate you from your computor even if you dont tell them your address? Not using "off-the-shelf" software they can't. However it is possible to track down the switch and the IP address that that switch is using. So theoretically, someone could narrow you down to the neighbourhood and if they had the ability to access your ISPs database (by hacking or as an employee), they could determine your address quite easily. Hope this helps.

What is the fundamental particle for optics ????? (i know its not photons,i am looking for an higgs boson of optics) The answer is "photon".

If the massive Higgs Boson does exist, that would go a long way towards confirming...

Do you think that the media in the UK is biased towards London and the South of England? That is quite a definite possibility. Media tends to go where the population (ie. money) is and the South is where the most of it is. Having said that, my perception (that of a Canuck, living in Canada) is that although a lot of shows I watch are made in the south (London/Cardiff/Brighton), some of my favs come from elsewhere. Both "Life on Mars" and "Drop Dead Gorgeous"...

What TV shows do you think were unjustifiably canceled? Are there any on now that should have been a long time ago?

While your at it... get rid of all the spin-offs. "Law and Order" and all it's spawn can take a hike too. Just how many spin-offs does it have now... twenty? thirty? Heck, it even has a spin-in!...
