All files have extensions.

If there is a file being streamed on a website that does not provide the file name within it's URL, you have to use a streaming video capture program to capture the video file first (unless you know how to locate it in the temp files for the web browsers cache). Once you've captured the video, then you can convert it.

What is the one important factor when buying a motherboard when speed is most important to a buyer?
Hi Zack,
I usually decide what CPU I want to use first, and I've always been partial to AMD in the past.
Once I know the processor I'm going to build the machine around, I start searching for motherboards that are compatible with it.
Once I've got a couple of motherboards picked out, I start going to motherboard review sites, which are often run by serious gamers....

A lot of Gun collectors deal with WWII paraphernalia. You can contact gun dealers for recommendations of people who collect Nazi materials.
eBay is always available, but I would do a bit of observing before placing anything for sale on eBay, otherwise you risk putting it up for sale at too low a price and possibly giving away something that should have demanded a better price.

Those who do not allow others their differences can be quite vocal, belligerent, and abusive.

I just caught a 6ft black rat snake and stuck it in with my igauana (lizard) will the snake eat my pet lizard?
This species is a constrictor, meaning it suffocates its prey, coiling around small animals and tightening its grip until they can no longer draw breath, before eating them. Though they do consume mice and rats, the Black Rat Snakes also willingly consume other snakes, chipmunks, squirrels, birds, and bird eggs.

Can anyone please enlighten me as to whether the Jews form not just a faith but a race, a sub-race or a collection of people who really don't form a race but an ethnicity that has certain common physical and genetic characteristics overall?

Think creatively: What links the Statue of Liberty and the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus?
Actually, nothing...
The design, posture and dimensions of the Statue of Liberty are based on what the tallest statue of the ancient world (107 ft tall), the Colossus of Rhodes was thought by engineers to have looked like.
However, like the Colossus, the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world.

Answer to:
Does a guys "size" matter when trying to get pregnant? if he is smaller then average? would this make it harder to get pregnant?
Sperm is sperm, and that's what gets you pregnant, not the size of the organ that delivers it. So, as far as getting pregnant, no, size does not matter.
Answer to:
Is it big-headed to relate most of your answers to yourself, either in "real life" or here on AB?
No, generally, the only point of reference, opinion, or experience one has is their own... so, it's not "big-headed"... it can, however, be narrow minded to only consider ones opinion when answering, and never actually doing any research to actually ascertain the truth of a matter before answering.

Well, lets reason it out -
From the info you've provided here's what we're looking at -
37% = 13% of 50% right? (test = percent of overall total)
and we want to know
90% = 13% of X
So,
13% * 50% = 6.5% (.13 * .50 = .065)
50% - 6.5% = 43.5% your grade without this test
.37 * x = .065 (x is the factor we're looking for)
.37 * .1765 = .065
