how did new york city get the nickname gotham? Gotham was first used in reference to New York City by Washington Irving in the satirical piece Salmagundi (1807). Gotham was at that point already known to refer to a place with foolish inhabitants. Somehow the name stuck to NYC even though it had originally been a nickname for Nottinghamshire (a village in England where apparently wise men acted as fools in order to avoid paying for the king's upkeep). |
seismograph? The simplest explanation:\n\nA seismograph is just basically a pen on a spring (although now days this is replaced by a sensor) It measures ground motion. Earthquakes nuclear weapons tests the impact of waves striking the coast the rumble of trucks on a highway volcanoes and many other things can result in ground motion that a seismograph can measure. Seismologists looking for oil can use vibrating trucks or underground explosions to send waves into the ground that seismographs can measure and turn into pictures of what the earth looks like underground. \n\nOf course this can get far more complicated. Some seismographs can measure lower frequencies even using superconductivity etc. Seismographs really measure ground acceleration which is the second derivative of ground displacement. |
When i connect to dialup connection of a 52 kbps speed and download something the download speed is 4kbps? the computer connects to a speed of 52 kbps( wriiten in system tray ) then why when i download some thing the speed is onlyyyyyyyyy 4 or 5 kbps.....................??? the connection speed is 52kbps (b = bits). the download speed is 4-5 kBps (B = bytes) 1 byte = 8 bits you do the math... |

Do you ever feel like everything you ever thought was right could have been a mistake? Sometimes do you make a judgement just to find out that your whole perception was wrong? Good one kermit.\n\nNow everything is a learning process. I think it is important to have passion for your beliefs but at the same time always remain open for debate. If anything if you are on the wrong side of logic or common sense on something you're bound to discover it sooner.\nWe have to make judgements and decisions at fixed times in our lives. Rather than beat yourself up over the past try and flesh out a good process for how you analyze things and react to them then use that process and adjust as needed. Use the past to learn from and keep growing! Also really look into anything that contradicts deeply held beliefs and run it through a vigorous ringer before you assume you were wrong. You've made it this far on your wits and common sense there's a good chance you've been right more than you give yourself credit for. There are lots of contrarian views being floated out there that are nothing more than hot air so have confidence in yourself too! |
How should I approach open source software development? More specifically should I start from scratch on an idea? or contribute to a similar existing project? I suggest you to start with an existing open source project. you can find very good open source projects at www.sourceforge.net if you find a project you are interested just send email to the project admin they can add you in. Of course if you have a very good idea you can create your own sourceforge project and share it with the rest of the world. |
Is it a dilemma? There are 50 horses and 50 kings riding along an old dirt road. They came to a peach tree with 50 peaches. Each took one yet there were still 49 left. How is this possible? the mans name was Each. |
What the most messed up thing you ever saw in your life? This is hard to say even now. I was travelling in China about 10 years ago. I was in a city near the border where there were a lot of tourists and hence a lot of beggars on the street.\n\nThe beggars were mostly children - perhaps 8 to 12 years old. What made it worse was that they had babies with them - babies that they left lying on the sidewalk until they saw you coming then picked them up and ran after you asking for money.\n\nI never heard one of the babies cry and I still wonder how many of them were already dead and where their supply of them came from. There would be 2 to 4 children (with their babies) on each street I walked. I only went out the once; I couldn't take it any more. |
Should i go for the guy? There is this guy at the college I am going to next year and i live next to and go to all the time for basketball games. This guys plays basketball and plays guitar and is totally amazing. I also play basketball and sing in a band. He seems like the perfect guy for me and the funny thing is that i think he likes me too cause he stares at me all the time. The one problem is that he has a girlfriend. They don't seem very into each other though. Should I flirt with him? Or should i back off because he has a girlfriend? well if you really like this guy then you should wait for him!! never break up a relationship!! |
Is there a difference between PCI n AGP graphics card in terms of performance? Yes there is. Not only is the AGP bus technology more advanced than PCI the video cards available for AGP slots are generally alot faster/better than ones available for PCI slots. For example in the previous generation of video cards the most powerful nvidia PCI video card was the FX5500 while the most powerful nvidia AGP video card was the FX5900 (higher model numbers are better than lower ones). With the current generation of video cards I don't even think any PCI versions are available. |

What does everyone think about a 21 year old girl dating an 18 year old guy? Nothing wrong with that! I am 7 years my husband's senior! We are very happy and for the most part he looks older than me until he shaves his beard off then he looks younger but b/c I like beards he rarely ever shaves it off! Also my 19 year old son is seeing a 28 year old lass with a child and he seems to be pretty happy with her and her with him. |

What is antimatter? when an electron and its anti particle meet what happens to the mass? does it disappear? wouldnt that violate the law of conservation of matter? Antimatter or contra-terrene matter is matter that is composed of the antiparticles of those that constitute normal matter. If a particle and its antiparticle come in contact with each other the two annihilate and produce a burst of energy which results in the production of other particles and antiparticles or electromagnetic radiation. In these reactions rest mass is not conserved although (as in any other reaction) energy (E=mc²) is conserved.\n\n\nIn 1928 Paul Dirac developed a relativistic equation for the electron now known as the Dirac equation. Curiously the equation was found to have negative energy solutions in addition to the normal positive ones. This presented a problem as electrons tend toward the lowest possible energy level; energies of negative infinity are nonsensical. As a way of getting around this Dirac proposed that the vacuum can be considered a sea of negative energy the Dirac sea. Any electrons would therefore have to sit on top of the sea.\n\nThinking further Dirac found that a hole in the sea would have a positive charge. At first he thought that this was the proton but Hermann Weyl pointed out the hole should have the same mass as the electron. The existence of this particle the positron was confirmed experimentally in 1932 by Carl D. Anderson.\n\nToday's standard model shows that every particle has an antiparticle for which each additive quantum number has the negative of the value it has for the normal matter particle. The sign reversal applies only to quantum numbers (properties) which are additive such as charge but not to mass for example. The positron has the opposite charge but the same mass as the electron. An atom of antihydrogen is composed of a negatively-charged antiproton being orbited by a positively-charged positron .\nNotation\nPhysicists need a notation to distinguish particles from antiparticles. One way is to denote an antiparticle by adding a bar (or macron) over the symbol for the particle. For example the proton and antiproton are denoted as and respectively.\n\nAnother convention is to distinguish particles by their electric charge. Thus the electron and positron are denoted simply as e− and e+. Adding a bar over the e+ symbol would be redundant and is not done.\n\nAntimatter as fuel\nIn antimatter-matter collisions the entire rest mass of the particles is converted to energy. The energy per unit mass is about 10 orders of magnitude greater than chemical energy and about 2 orders of magnitude greater than nuclear energy that can be liberated today using chemical reactions or nuclear fission/fusion. The reaction of 1 kg of antimatter with 1 kg of matter would produce 1.8×1017 J (180 petajoules) of energy (by the equation E=mc²). In contrast burning a kilogram of gasoline produces 4.2×107 J and nuclear fusion of a kilogram of hydrogen would produce 2.6×1015 J. Not all of that energy can be utilized by any realistic technology because as much as 50% of energy produced in reactions between nucleons and antinucleons is carried away by neutrinos so for all intents and purposes it can be considered lost.[2]\n\nThe scarcity of antimatter means that it is not readily available to be used as fuel although it could be used in antimatter catalyzed nuclear pulse propulsion. Generating a single antiproton is immensely difficult and requires particle accelerators and vast amounts of energy—millions of times more than is released after it is annihilated with ordinary matter due to inefficiencies in the process. Known methods of producing antimatter from energy also produce an equal amount of normal matter so the theoretical limit is that half of the input energy is converted to antimatter. Counterbalancing this when antimatter annihilates with ordinary matter energy equal to twice the mass of the antimatter is liberated—so energy storage in the form of antimatter could (in theory) be 100% efficient. Antimatter production |

Flammable vs. Inflammable? Why do we say things that can catch on fire are inflammable? In means not for example INdescribable INdecent INjustice INappropriate etc. Remove the IN from the examples and you have the opposite meaning. Inflammable means can be INFLAMED. The in does not mean not in this case.\n\nIt's one of those exceptions like not pronouncing the k in knife. |
Favorite sport and team to watch? Me--I love to watch any Baseball but my absolute favorite is the Chicago Cubs. My national league favorite is the Cubs. Probably because they have such a similar history to my real favorite the Red Sox. I'm a fanatic and either watch the games on TV with the MLB package because I live in Florida or XM radio and even sink to watching the play by play on Gameday. I don't think I've missed a pitch in 3 years. Oh yeah I go to St. Petersburg whenever they come to play the Devil Rays.\n\nBut I'd love to see the Cubs win the world series. With the way things are going the past few years it's only right. Better yet play the Red Sox in the world series. They can win that one if they promise to go 7 games but if they end up playing the Yankees I want the Cubs to sweep with a 4 game shutout. |

Is there any professional hockey in Orlando or nearby area? excluding Tampa & Sunrise.? The Florida Seals are a minor-league ice hockey team currently a member of the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL). Originally based in Orlando Florida they are now based in Kissimmee Florida a suburb south of Orlando in Osceola County. The ownership group of the Seals is led by David Waronker.\n\nThe team was formed as the Orlando Seals and played its first season beginning in October 2002 with the Atlantic Coast Hockey League (ACHL). It was the winner of that league's first and only President's Cup in 2003. When the ACHL folded they and two other teams the Jacksonville Barracudas and the Macon Trax merged into the new World Hockey Association 2 (WHA2) founded by Waronker himself. After the 2003-2004 season the World Hockey Association served a cease-and-desist order on the WHA2 and it merged with the South East Hockey League (SEHL) to form the Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL).\n\nThe Orlando Seals were scheduled to play in the 2004-2005 SPHL season but on August 22 2004 the City of Orlando revoked its lease at the TD Waterhouse Centre causing them to miss the season. On October 19 2004 the ownership group announced a new three-year lease with the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee. The team resumed play in the 2005-2006 season hosting their first home game against the Jacksonville Barracudas on October 29 2005.\n\nThe mascot of the Florida Seals is Sealvester. He wears a jersey emblazoned with the number 02. |
Why are more people right-handed than left-handed? No one knows for certain why the human population is right-handed-dominant but a number of theories have been proposed.\n\nBrain hemisphere division of labor is the most commonly accepted theory of handedness. The premise of this theory is that since both speaking and handiwork require fine motor skills having one hemisphere of the brain do both would be more efficient than having it divided up. And since in most people the left side of the brain controls speaking right-handedness would prevail. It also predicts that left-handed people would have a reversed brain division of labor. Lastly since other primates do not have a spoken language (at least of the type we have) there would be no stimulus for right-handed preference among them and that is true.\n\nObjections to this theory claim that it does not explain why the left hemisphere would always be the one controlling language. Why not 50% of the population left and 50% right? While 95% of right-handers do indeed use the left side of the brain for speaking it is more variable for left-handers. Some do use the right for linguistic skills some use the left hemisphere and others use both. On the balance it appears that this theory could well explain some left-handedness but it has too many gaps to explain all left-handedness.\n\nThere are more than genetics involved in determining if a person is right- or left-handed Even when both parents are left-handed there is only a 26% chance of their child being left-handed. Thus it is clear that genetics is not the only cause. Handedness must also be influenced by some other causes.\n\nBirth stress is theory that states disturbs certain left-handed people because its basic premise is that left-handedness is due to brain damage during the birth process. Nevertheless some statistics do back this theory up.\n\nParental pressure theory explains right-handed dominance by claiming that since the parents who raised us are mostly right-handed we came to be mostly right-handed and so on. |
I anyone against homework? everyone hates homework... except those truely sickminded academics in this world {wink}.\n\nHowever I can tell you that homework is actually the most important part of school work and self-learning skills to do.\n\nIn almost any career and field ongoing study is necessary to keep competitive in your field of work. Those who do not get lost at the sides and get the lower paying jobs.\n\nYou need to make the choice about what you want to do in life and that includes being being proactive in learning and studying your lessons. |
want to get what we earned last year for taxes where do you go to get this and will a tax refund accept this? have moved around so much so many jobs. unable to remember them all. want to file taxes . will a rapid refund place accept this with out w-4s once i find out where to get earnings statement? No one is keeping track of your income. Even if it was correctly reported by your employers to the IRS the IRS won't have this information at hand for several months and by that time they will be more than willing to charge you interest and penalties if you have not paid taxes on that income. |
What is the best english acent for to learn? American British Canadian or Australian.? Help Me Please\nThanks In my opinion it would be American.\nAt one time it was British.

What is Numerology? Is it essential for Life? Numerology is the study of the purported mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and the character or action of physical objects and living things.\n\nNumerology and numerological divination were popular among early mathematicians such as Pythagoras but are no longer considered to be part of mathematics and are now regarded as pseudomathematics by most mathematicians. This is similar to the historical development of astronomy from astrology and that of chemistry from alchemy. |
Is Cindy Sheehan going too far? A far better question would be..Who is funding her? Someone has to be supporting her paying her house note or rent putting food in her mouth printing those tshirts and banners and signs putting gas in her car paying her insurance.....Where is all that money coming from? She's not going to a job everyday so where's the money source? Who is the money source? What terrorist group is paying her to harass the US government?\n\nDon't forget that her son was killed AFTER he RE-enlisted. He would be angry over her actions. He believed he was doing good. |
why Abhyudaya with >5000 points not featured in top 5? Hi Rams \nThanks for the concern. I had asked the question before to Yahoo! Answers Team & I got the answer that most of my questions were identical. It might have happened because I asked most of them with a format like - A Riddle Another Riddle & Yet another Riddle etc. So they might have diagnosed that all these questions are identical which they were not.\nAlso another reason might be that most of my questions were in the Jokes & Riddles sub-category & thus were not Knowledge-based. I am now trying to ask diverse questions to get into the leaderboard. \nThanks & Take Care |
diffrence between hardwired & microprogrammed control? computer organisation & architecture Hardwired systems are made to perform in a set manner implemented with logic switches etc. between any input and output in the system. Once the manner in which the control is executed you can not change the behavior of the system.\n\nMicroprogrammed systems are centered around a computer of some sort often a microcontroller in small systems that controls the system using a program. Input is sent to the computer and the program determines what should be done with the input to come up with an output. So the processor is between the input and the output rather than a direct link between the input and output.\n\nThe vesatility of the microprogrammed system far exceeds the hardwired system. The systems can also be considerably smaller. The size of a complex microcontroller can be quite a bit smaller that a bunch of logic and switches for the same functionality.\n\nThis what you were looking for? |
do you have ashtrays out even if you don't smoke? The only ashtrays I have out are outside No smoking in my house. I am a smoker but don't want my children exposed to the second hand smoke. I would not think poorly of anyone whom did not have ashtrays out if they did not smoke and there have been many times when visiting someone that even though they permitted smoking in their house I still went outside. |
Does anyone still use nota bene in papers? Or N.B.? I haven't seen it in anything published in English for a while... I'm an Undergrad Lit. student and to be honest every single one of my professors uses either Nota Bene or NB. Some use both which is rather redundant but alas they have doctorates and I don't. Over the last 3 years I'm simply accepted it. So yes people still do use the term. Granted this is scholarly writing but it's still writing. And English is based on Latin to some degree so by using Latin in English writing you're speaking English. |

Is there a federal law that prohibits states from requiring factory parts for auto repairs? i think i remember hearing about a federal regulation that prohibits individual states from requiring the use of original (OE) parts for automotive repairs. can anybody point me in the right direction as to where i can find this?\nthanks. I haven't been able to find anything like that by searching the US Code and it doesn't sound like something that is even within Congress' powers. That is clearly something that each state should be able to decide for itself. They would have to make an extremely hard case for it being an interstate commerce issue and without that it's definitely unconstitutional. |
If Barbie is so popular then why do you have to buy her friends? Barbie doll represents an imagination of young girl's all over the world. Barbie friends represent the Barbie world's community.

Where is the best place to find a roomate without posting my phone # all over campus or the internet? Call your campus housing office and see if they keep a list of persons who want roommates and you can list your name/number there to advertise without posting all over campus. If your housing office doesn't do this see if you have an office of commuter students or adult students that is for students who live off campus and chances are they will have some type of roommate list.\n\nAlso you can list an email address to respond to although I'm not sure as many people will respond to an email as to a phone number. Get a non-crazy sounding Yahoo email account name just for this process and then cancel the account when you have a roommate. \n\nHope this helps. |
does hot water dry faster then cold water? yes it does. \n\nhere's how evaporation works: the molecules of the water are bouncing around and colliding with each other randomly changing direction and speed all the time. when one molecule near the surface randomly gets a kick towards the surface (if it's moving fast enough to overcome the strength of hydrogen bonding) it will exit the condensed water and literally come shooting out of the liquid and into the air. \n\nthe reverse process (condensation) happens at the same time - water molecules in the atmosphere will randomly go shooting into the surface of the liquid where they are captured by water's hydrogen bonds. if the air is humid enough this will happen at the same rate as evaporation and the result will be called a dynamic equilibrium - water is evaporating and condensing in equal amounts and the water level will appear static.\n\nanyway if you turn the temperature of the water up the molecules move faster. this is how we interpret the meaning of temperature on the microscopic level. so faster-moving molecules are more likely to overcome the hydrogen bonding and therefore more often escape the water's surface which results in faster evaporation. |

what's your opinion about Iran banning CNN all over their country? the decision was taken after this incident:\nDuring CNN's simultaneous translation of a press conference by Ahmadinejad Saturday the president was quoted as saying that we believe all nations are allowed to have nuclear weapons and that the West should not deprive us to have nuclear weapons.\n\nThe president was however using a Farsi word that meant technology and not weapons in line with Iran's assertion that it only wants to generate atomic energy and not build bombs as alleged by the United Sates \nYou can read the full article at http://www.iranmania.com/News/ArticleView/Default.asp?NewsCode=39666&NewsKind=Current%20Affairs Hi I'm from Iran and I don't like their idea. What kind of reason is to band CNN because they mistakenly said that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad wanted Nuclear Weapons. And knowing that I'm from Iran no they don't want nuclear weapons. But CNN made a mistake and it is no reason to be banned. Iran has turned to a very strict country after the revolution 27 years ago. Since the revolution people can't wear shorts t-shirts sandals or anything. Women have to have their head covered. And must be always be covered. \nSince Mahmoud Ahmadinejad became president he has banned music. I read recently that bands have moved in the basement and that they must play illigally. |

How dooes everybody feel about legalizing WEED? Marijuana is an extremely useful plant that should be cultivated legally. The drug aspect of it should be decriminalized and treated as cigarettes and alcohol are with age limits and extreme taxation. We could pull this country half way out of debt simply by taxing the marijuana market. The effects of the drug are no more imparing than that of alcohol and the idea that this is a gateway to harsher drugs is ridiculous. If it were as legal as alcohol and cigarettes it would be no more a gateway to smoking or injesting illegal things than they are also. Our tax dollars are better spent enforcing and punishing violent crimes and not looking for a college kids smoking a joint. |
Do you understand why we have all these laws? We have all sorts of laws that when they are broken we go to jail. I understand many of the laws like laws against violent crimes theft hate crimes and why one needs a license for SOME things but now adays you even have to have a license to own a pet. We have to have a license to get married fish drive fly a plane and who knows what all else we need a license for I just do not get these laws. What laws do YOU not understand? In every day life its difficult to be 100% honest the wrong economics makes it that way so the law is there to pretend that we are moving in right direction and do the large scale befooling |
How does a streams velocity affect erosion? the faster the streams velocity is the quicker the erosion takes place. this is caused by increased friction as velocity increases.\n\nit's sort of like falling from a plane. you go faster and faster and as your velocity increases so does the friction. soon you'll hit terminal velocity or the point where you are no longer accelerating. the force of friction with the air eventually will equal out with the force of you falling but still as you get going faster there is more friction.\n\nthis friction causes the erosion and so the faster the velocity the more the rocks soil etc. erodes. |

is a window a viscous fluid? The answer to that is no. The old glass is a slow moving liquid bit is an old wives tale. Or in this case an old professors tale.\n\nThe essential reason is that in a fluid all the molecules are disordered and only loosely bound. While in glass the molecues are strongly bound although disordered. \n\nThere is some wiggle room in the definition of solid and liquid but it probably doesn't matter in this instance. The main evidence for glass being a liquid is the claim that glass in say old buildings has slowly settled and made the bottom thinker has never been shown to be due to glass being a liquid. In fact the existence of perfectly fine glass from the time of the Roman Empire makes it unlikely.\n\nThe second link I've included is an extensive discussion of the whole windows are flowing down bit - the conclusion being that it is more likely the panes were made with uneven thickness and the glass was inserted with the thicker end down - which is the logical thing to do in that circumstance. |

Went to Harvard obtained a degree in Theology. Observed that they do notrecognise the power of God there why? Many men are well learned of Gods words yet they do not understand them...WHY?\nIn my opinion the power of his words come from doing as they suggest. Man can learn well anything but true knowledge only comes from applying the teachings to an application. Harvard only teaches words not with spirit. When men learn using the holy spirit of God the Holy Ghost testifies to him of the truthfulness of those words. One must be living and serving those words in order to have his spirit with them. I notice that you didn't say you went to Harvard or have a degree in Theology - you didn't say who though there have been many....\n\nIt's probably the business of religion. An impressive degree can demand more mammon. |

how to know whether someone loves u or not?what is true love? and how can one know whether they r in true love Last question first: and how can one know whether they r in true love \n\nBeing in love is like an orgasm--when it happens you'll know. If you're not sure it's probably some similar features but not the real thing. If by true love you mean the love that's deeper than an exciting infatuation then you can tell that by the feelings that come in as the excitement ebbs. If the excitement dies down and you feel empty used bored disinterested then true love isn't on the way and you can't force it. If comfort and satisfaction fill in as excitement ebbs then you've got a keeper. That kind of true love is so good for me I don't miss the excitement that much (I've been married forever). It sounds weird but it really does feel deep like a river while infatuation feels like a rushing mountain stream. If you're willing to give up the pleasures of the stream for the pleasures of the river I'd say that's true love. It might sound like a bad trade-off but with the right person it feels like a natural change not a loss. I know I thank my lucky stars every day for getting to the point we're at now.\n\n\n>how to know whether someone loves u or not?\n\nIf the other person is hiding it and doing a good job you may never know. If the other person is faking it I don't think they could pull it off for long unless they're a psychopath or something in which case there would be other symptoms like excessive controlling and maybe abuse. Between total faking and total compatibility there's lots of room for innocent ignorance and ineptitude. If I had to pick one acid test I guess it would be how the other person handles situations where not everybody's needs get met. For a love relationship to work both people have to graciously put themselves second a reasonable percentage of the time. That doesn't mean being a doormat but it does mean thinking beyond themselves. Someone who can't do that or won't learn how isn't capable of loving someone even if they have strong feelings that they call love. |
Why is it that so many people who post a question or answer cannot put together a simple sentence? Is the education system in America so bad or do people that post here just not care about whether their spelling or grammar is correct? Alot of it has to do with the shorthand used for text messages and IMing. Because of the rapidness of the conversation a generally accepted form of shorthand developed to increase the rate of conversation. If you could look at the people who demonstrate these forms of bad grammar on message boards like this one I would be willing to bet they are high school/early college aged who grew up conversing on the computer. To them the commonly accepted rules of syntax are loosened for convience. Therefore they are following a commonly agreed upon set of rules which in a way make this a unique language while derived from english follow different rules. Check out the source for examples. |
