Im backpacking around world for a year. Do i take my digital SLR or a decent point and shoot camera? My travel priority is fantastic photos, but will the SLR be too big, get in the way, or temp theft from locals crooks around the world?
Crooks are just as tempted by P&S cameras. In fact, the traditional body design of dSLRs makes them look like film cameras (and thus less attractive).
If you have enough experience with the sSLR to take great photos, use that. Make sure to buy a battery grip (if it's Canon, I don't know if Nikon has those), or something that will allow you to have enough battery life to last...

There are two ways. Sometimes, one would write something like -A to be -10. Other times, one uses the bit sequence for the number.
For example, we know 5 is 101 as an unsigned integer, so it's 0101 as a signed integer, so -5 is 1011 as a signed integer, which is 11 as an unsigned integer. Thus, the hex code would be "b". If we're using 32-bit integers, the hex code would...

Note: it'll output a float, not an integer if you give it an integer. It *should* work for floating point numbers, too, but I haven't tested it.

And just screwing is a lot better than a real, serious relationship.

If you smoke a lot, the THC will build up in your fat. It takes about 30 days without smoking for it to dissipate. Assuming they perform a urine test, you can smoke all you want up to a month before the test.
I recommend taking a break, though. It's good to flush out your system completely every once in a while.

There are four distinct, equally likely outcomes:
Job one hires, job two hires
Job one hires, job two doesn't
Job one doesn't, job two hires
Job one doesn't, job two doesn't
As you can see, in three of the four outcomes, you have a job. Therefore, there's a .75 probability that you'll have a job if you applied to two places with 50/50 chances.

Don't know how to set out or answer. Thanks
Q1. Let's use point-slope form: y - 9 = 3 * (x-1). Then, put in y=mx+b form: y = 3x + 6.
Q2. Put into y=mx+b form, we get:
y = 5x+7
y = (ax-11)/-2 = (a/-2) * x + 5.5.
So, we want the slope to be 5 so (a/-2) = 5, so a = 5/-2 = -2.5

Projectile math problem?
If you shoot a golf ball (46g) at a 45 degree angle and it travels 300ft how fast is it going on average in feet per second?
(Disregard environmental conditions and assume the golf ball was shot at ground level)
By "travels 300ft", you mean it hits the ground 300 ft from where it was hit?
Let's first get everything into metric. 300ft = 91.44m.
Some helpful formulas:
d = v*v/g
t = sqrt(2) * v / g
So: 91.44 = d = v*v/9.81
v = 3.05m/s
t = sqrt(2) * 3.05 / g = 4.31s
So we know it took 4.31s to travel 91.44m, and speed is in m/s, so it was averaging 21.22m/s in horizontal...

Well I am bisexual, but my family makes me go to church and be religious and stuff... well am i being a bad christian/person? My parents don't know, should i tell them or should i not, they might try to change how i am though?! Can you please help!?
No, you're not a bad person. Anyone who tells you otherwise is intolerant.
If you decide to tell them, you could jeopardize your relationship with them. While I personally would not want to be associated with bigots, it could be very difficult for you to thrive without parental support.

Purer ingredients.
More accurate and precise equipment.
(Plus a bunch of context-dependent things.)
Sources of nonhuman error:
Purity of ingredients.
Accuracy and precision of measuring equipment.
External disturbances, like humidity of air.

Unless you think there's a chance of a threesome with him and your boss, I wouldn't tell him.

I am a counting number. All three of my digits are even but different. I am divisible by 4. The sum of my digits is 12. The sum of my units and tens digits equals my hundreds digit. What number am I ? (You must show your work)
Counting number = integer?
The number is in the form abc
a=b+c
a+b+c = 12
------------
a+a = 12
a = 6
So our number is 6bc.
Our options are now 642 and 624. 624 / 4 = 156. 642 isn't evenly divided by 4. So the number must be 624.

I'd probably abort them both, though. I have no desire to have children at this stage of life.

Warren Buffett, once the third richest man in the world, pays a lower tax rate than his secretary. And that's, according to him, without even trying dirty tricks to lower his tax rate. With skillful donations and moving money around in just the right ways, he could have further reduced his tax rate. Our laws that deal with giving money to charities also allow the...

Have you tried to get a girlfriend? It's not something that just magically happens. You need to actually make an effort to impress some lady enough to make her want to spend time with you.
You should identify the bottleneck. Are you getting first dates? Are you having trouble asking women out on dates? What's the hitch?

Can you help me with my daughters homework?
DOG +
CAT =
TOAD
Each different letter stands for a different digit. Find an addition problem that works on a 7th grade level?
.DOG
+CAT
--------
TOAD
We know O must be zero because O+A=A.
T must be 1 because C+D cannot be greater than 18.
So we have:
.D0G
+CA1
---------
10AD
We also know that:
D + C = 10
G + 1 = D
Rearrange:
D = 10 - C
D = 1 + G
So C + G = 9
C could be two, in which case D = 8 and G = 7. A could be 3, 4, 5, or 6.
So we could have:
807 + 231 = 1038.

Why not select high quality to buy less rather than poor quality to buy more?
It's a simple cost analysis:
Dr. Thunder, Walmart's imitation Dr. Pepper, costs $2.25 per 12 pack. Dr. Pepper costs $3.50 per 12 pack.
So, to switch to buying Dr. Thunder costs me $1.25 per 12 pack. The added utility that I get from Dr. Pepper over Dr. Thunder is less than the utility I could get from spending the $1.25 on more Dr. Thunder.
This generalizes in many scenarios...

First of all, eating that few calories is NOT healthy! I strongly suggest you consult your doctor.
If you are an 18 year old female, 5 feet tall, and 100 pounds, you should eat at least 1900 calories. Hopefully, you're more than 100 pounds, in which case your recommended daily caloric intake should be higher.

Nope. If you do it correctly, the eggs will not be runny at all. Heat up the bowl in which the pasta will be served. Then, as soon as the pasta is strained, put it in the bowl, and add the eggs and other parts of the sauce. Use a rubber spatula so ensure that the eggs stay away from the edges of the bowl and get onto the pasta.

Well, here's a chance for you to show your potential as a salesperson. If a customer asks you a question whose answer you do not know, you have to answer in terms of something you do know.
For example, you could talk about similar activities to sales (like customer service), the attributes that are required in sales and how you got them, etc. Just remember, do not lie.

If could could design a climate what would it be like?
It would be extremely hot and very rainy at once. The rain would evaporate as soon as it hits the ground. Because there is so much evaporation and rain, the visibility is limited to about ten feet. There is no wind.

Answer to:
What type of font suits you best?
For any school assignment, Times New Roman is required. When I type code, I prefer to view it in Monaco. My website uses Verdana. I think Adventure and Belch are fun fonts but I rarely have uses for them. Garamond is my favorite font with serifs. Helvetica is an awesome font, too.

Answer to:
Suppose you have a loaded coin that lands with probability 2/3 on each flip. Suppose you flip the coin 8 times. What is the probability that in those 8 flips you get an even number of heads? 1
Let P(x) be the probability of getting x heads.
Then it's P(0) + P(2) + P(4) + P(6) + P(8).
Since it's a binomial distribution, we know P(x) = n! / (k! * (n-k)!) * p^k * (1-p)^(n-k)
Plug things in:
P(0) = 8! / (0! * 8!) * (2/3)^0 * (1/3)^8 = 1 * 1 * (1/3)^8 = 1 / 6561
I think you can do the rest.

Answer to:
It appears that Ashlee Simpson's fiance Peter Wentz is a bit on the "bisexual" side. Do you think they will ever get married and if they do that it will last more than six months?
I don't think that his bisexuality would be the factor that causes their marriage to fall apart quickly. Celebrities have a tendency to get into short-lived marriages.

Answer to:
Do you think Gears of War is fun?
It's fun for about an hour, for me. It doesn't hold my attention as well as many other games.
If I am playing an intense FPS, nothing is better than Counter-Strike: Source. For a ton of fun, Team Fortress 2 is fabulous. If I'm with friends, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, and Brawl are better than Gears.

Im in a stagecraft class, and was forced into a play. In turn i got stuck in the adv.drama (i cant act) next year and forced out of the phycology class i spent all year trying to get into. How do i get out of this class and back into phycology?
You could start by learning how to spell "psychology". Next, I would arrange to have a meeting with an advisor or vice principal.

Answer to:
Is it wrong to flirt if you have a boyfriend or girlfriend? what is conciderd flirting?
Every couple has its own guidelines about what's acceptable and what's not. Some people are naturally more flirty than others. Some people put up with their significant others flirting more.
In general, if you wouldn't do it with your boyfriend around or knowing about it, you shouldn't do it.
Answer to:
Would you rather lose your ability to shut up, and live forced to talk and chatter endlessly as long as you're awake, or your ability to speak, and lose completely your voice?
I don't think that losing my voice would be too big of a deal. I know some sign language and I communicate a lot by typing, anyway.

Answer to:
Is it true that few women admit their age and few men act theirs?
Most of the women I hang around readily discuss their ages. That's because they're mostly 18 and 19, though.
I think older women tend not to discuss their ages, as if they're ashamed of them. Seems silly to me.
I think that many people don't act their ages. I know plenty of immature men and women. Proportionately, I feel there are more immature men, though.
