What came first the chicken or the egg? This is actually very easy to answer based on evolution the egg had to come first. Evolution works like this: There are slight changes in the genetic information of the sex cells (i.e. eggs and sperm) of individuals that are passed on to the offspring of any two parents. These changes in the genetic makeup are called mutations. Mutations can either have: 1) A deleterious effect on the offspring (genetic disorders may arise many times these are lethal); 2) sometimes these mutations may be advantageous making an individual more fit than its neighbors (this is sometimes referred to as conferring an advantage); or 3) these mutations can have no effect making no change from parent to progeny.\n\nIn the case of the chicken it must have evolved from something else that became less fit than the chicken and eventually becoming extinct. The chicken became a chicken from this other organism through mutations that built up over time in subsequent generations. However whatever the genetic makeup that finally became defined as a chicken that individual was first conceived and developed in an egg before being hatched. The egg and sperm that fused to produce the chicken didn't bypass the period of gestation within an egg that had developed in the bird family millions of years before the chicken came along.\n\nSo the simple answer to this question is the egg came first -- unless you believe in fairy tales?

where can I find affordable smow gear in san francisco? It depends on what exactly you are looking for. I don't know of many places in the city that are cheap (I have found some good deals at Lombaridi's on Polk but not cheap) but if you have a car or can borrow one go to Tri-City at 40900 Grimmer Blvd in Fremont. There I have found some of the best deals on all types of new gear; clothing skis and snowboards. The later you go in the season the cheaper things get (of course).\n\nIf you do not mind buying used or surplus gear try the Wilderness Exchange in Berkeley (1407 San Pablo Ave) the store is great. I have found some good deals there on winter clothing and camping gear.

Why doesn't Yahoo! let u change ur ID? I am getting tired of my old Y! ID and would like a new one but that means I would have to get a new account. Kind of like your SSN Y!

For example what would the site do with emails sent to your older-ID@yahoo.com?\n\nTry to change your SSN and you will see similar problem though with greater magnitude of complexity due to the data size.

Is the A note the only note with a rational frequency? I am working a project and I stated that A is the only note with a rational frequency. Am I correct in saying that? I have seen the other frequences represented as numbers and assumed they were all rounded but I want to verify.\n\nA4 (standard tuning frequency) = 440 Hz Yes. Because the frequency of the notes are a geometric sequence with a factor of 2^(1/12) between each note and 2^(n/12) is irrational except for when n is divisible by 12. There are 12 half-steps in an octave.\n\nThe frequency of A (just below middle C) is 220 Hz. So the frequency of a note that is one half-step above A is 220*(2^(1/12)). Two half-steps up is 220*(2^(2/12)).

I hate exercising fruits n veg.What dn is d fastest way 2 lose weight? exercise and eat more fruits and vegetables. there is no easy way. if you put it on you have to work it off. fruits and veggies give you low fat and high vitamins a perfect way to fill you up with low calories. other wise cut your intake of fat and calories. you have to cut 3500 a week to lose a pound a week. and dont skip meals this will make you gorge when you can and will keep you from learning good eating habits that can last a lifetime.

Do internet service provider's browser always cause a problem? I was just wondering if it was true or not because I seem to be having a lot of problems with mine. I'd avoid using it in general there is no need to. Usually they are all different flavors of Internet Explorer with modified code in favor of the service provider. I recommend using an non-Internet Explorer browser. I strongly reccommend downloading and installing Mozilla Firefox 1.5. It's free and available for download at www.getfirefox.com.

How do you cure TMS? teeth grinding night guard cures relief. Temporal mandibular joint syndrome?\n\nDepends on what is causing it and how bad it is. Some people will have the problem go away with some tooth straightening. \nThere's a (something I don't remember what it's called) that puts your teeth into their proper position. You have to eat with it on. \nI had to have a couple years of braces and 12 hour surgery where my jaw was cut in 8 different places and screwed/wired back together. And I still had to have a chin implant to give me a chin.\n\nYour teeth should fit together this way: molars should lock together and top incisors should overlap the lower incisors just like er scissors. This should be your natural position - where your teeth automatically go when you close your mouth and put your teeth touching. \n\nYou should see a dentist but keep this in mind - my first dentist said there was nothing wrong with my bite. My incisors had a 1/8 inch gap between them! If you have doubts about your dentist's diagnosis go to an orthodontist for a second opinion.

What is the importance of learning Computer networking. ??? Anyone that uses the web or other internet technologies can benefit from learning at least the very basics of networking for example the difference between a telephone cable and a Cat5 ethernet cable and the places they plug into on the back of your computer. \n\nKnowing the difference between public and private networks how data travels from one computer to another and how to troubleshoot problems can save you money and frustration but for many people it's easier to pay someone like me $80 an hour to fix it for them (fast).\n\nIf you work in IT or use networks on a regular basis it would be very beneficial to study up on TCP/IP and Ethernet basics. Once you understand how things work it makes it much easier to figure out why it's not doing what you want it to do.\n\nHere's a good quick tutorial on TCP/IP:\nhttp://www.w3schools.com/tcpip/default.asp

What is P2P Actually? What is P2P actually? Is it legal? how Does it work? Is it free or any fees is required.Is Warez any good? If any of them Helps\nDefinitions of P2P on the Web:\n\nA sharing and delivery of user specified files among groups of people who are logged on to a file sharing network. Napster was the first mainstream P2P software that enabled large scale file sharing.\nwww.mp3-cdburner.com/MP3-glossary.shtml\n\nPeer-to-peer is a type of Internet network allowing a group of computer users with the same networking program to connect with each other for the purposes of directly accessing files from one another's hard drives.\nwww.usr.com/education/broadbandglossary.asp\n\nProcess whereby computers can trade information between each other directly without the assistance of a third party network.\nwww.hostqueue.com/ecommerce/glossary.html\n\n(Peer to Peer) a term used to describe an end user sending a message to another end user via their wireless devices where each device has equivalent capabilities and responsibilities.\nusamobility.com/customercare/faqs/glossary.htm\n\nPeer-to-peer networking (P2P) is an application that runs on a personal computer and shares files with other users across the Internet. P2P networks work by connecting individual computers together to share files instead of having to go through a central server.\nwww.netalert.net.au/01990-Glossary.asp\n\nPeer-to-peer exchanges in which products or services are openly shared (for example Napster).\nwww.metromemetics.com/thelexicon/p.asp\n\nA method of file sharing over a network in which individual computers are linked via the Internet or a private network to share programs/files often illegally. Users download files directly from other users' computers rather than from a central server.\nspyware.remove-spyware.com/definitions2.htm\n\nAt Peer to Peer networks several hubs communicate directly for using conjointly resources. PACS Picture Archiving and communication system makes the archiving of the image material possible as well as the image communication between the modalities the digital archive and the information system based on the DICOM standards.\nwww.vepro.com/USA/glossar_n-r.asp\n\nPeer to Peer. Instead of one single computer P2P utilizes the computing power of thousands of computers together to do one thing speeding up the time required to perform the job. Napster was the originator of P2P for sharing music files between millions of computer users worldwide. SETI@home uses P2P with just under 4 million computers and has since it started in July 1999 (to August 2002) done 1 009 000 hrs of computation time or the equivalent of 1 248 years work on one computer! ...\nwww.techdirectcomputers.com/Encyclopedia.htm\n\nA programme which will allow the MOD to trade electronically with its suppliers via the Defence Electronic Commerce Service (DECS).\nwww.ams.mod.uk/ams/content/docs/ils/ils_web/ils_gide/chaptr14.htm\n\nPeer to Peer. Term used by file sharing networks such as Kazaa Limewire etc.\nwww.100best-web-hosting.com/termp.html\n\nP2P technically stands for peer-to-peer. A peer-to-peer architecture allows hardware or software to function on a network without the need for central servers. Peer-to-peer is commonly used in configuring home computer networks where the cost of a server can be difficult to justify. The approach has also been popularized by some Net software applications such as Groove and Napster. The P2P acronym has acquired a non-technical meaning as well. ...\nwww.envisionnetwork.net/library/glossary.html\n\nA peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies on computing power at the edges (ends) of a connection rather than in the network itself. P2P networks are used for sharing content like audio video data or anything in digital format. P2P network can also mean grid computing. \nen.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2P

nonlinear programming? A Nonlinear Program (NLP) is a problem that can be put into the form\n\n minimize F(x)\n\n subject to gi(x) = 0 for i = 1 ... m1 where m1 >= 0\n hj(x) >= 0 for j = m1+1 ... m where m >= m1\n\nThat is there is one scalar-valued function F of several variables (x here is a vector) that we seek to minimize subject (perhaps) to one or more other such functions that serve to limit or define the values of these variables. F is called the objective function while the various other functions are called the constraints. (If maximization is sought it is trivial to do so by multiplying F by -1.)\n\nBecause NLP is a difficult field researchers have identified special cases for study. A particularly well studied case is the one where all the constraints g and h are linear. The name for such a problem unsurprisingly is linearly constrained optimization. If as well the objective function is quadratic at most this problem is called Quadratic Programming (QP). An even more special case of great importance is where the objective function and the constraints are entirely linear; this is called Linear Programming (LP) and is discussed in a separate FAQ list. Another important special case called unconstrained optimization is where there are no constraints at all.\n\nOne of the greatest challenges in NLP is that some problems exhibit local optima; that is spurious solutions that merely satisfy the requirements on the derivatives of the functions. Think of a near-sighted mountain climber in a terrain with multiple peaks and you'll see the difficulty posed for an algorithm that tries to move from point to point only by climbing uphill. Algorithms that propose to overcome this difficulty are termed Global Optimization.\n\nThe word Programming is used here in the sense of planning; the necessary relationship to computer programming was incidental to the choice of name. Hence the phrase NLP program to refer to a piece of software is not a redundancy although I tend to use the term code instead of program to avoid the possible ambiguity. \n\nThe sites below are quite good. If you want a career in Operations Research or Retailing Management NLP is a gr8 plus to learn

How to record Internet steaming audio broadcast? Many of these are using embeded Real Player or MS Media Player. Try with Audacity which is free and can record soundcard outpout.\n\nHere is an how-to from Audacity wiki\nWith most Windows and Linux audio devices it is possible to record whatever sound the computer is currently playing including internet radio streams.\n\nIn the drop-down menu on Audacity's mixer toolbar choose “Wave Out” or “Stereo Mix” as the input source. (The exact name may be different depending on your computer's sound drivers.) When you press the Record button Audacity will capture whatever sound is playing on your computer's speakers.\n\nIf this doesn't work on your computer you can instead use a cable to connect your computer's “Line Out” (speaker) port to its “Line In” port and use Audacity to record from Line In.

I keep geting popups saying that my registry is corrupted or windows have problems. Is this legit? These popups are blue and white boxes. I have up to date Norton it says that everything is ok No they are not legit. They are pop up ads.

For good measure you could run spyware/malware removal tools such as Adaware or Spybot among others.

i pay child support to my ex girl friend for our daughter legally can i claim her on my taxes? Only one person may claim a child as a deduction and only the parent who provides 51% or more of the child's support can claim him/her. The exception is if the custodial parent allows you to claim them by signing Form 8332. The top source below is a guide for non-custodial parents and the second one is Form 8332.

What is a good franchise to invest in for about 170k or lower? Any franchise owners? I was thinking about Subway Quiznos.. etc.. Before you decide to get into franchising you should go onto Entrepreneur Magazine's website and read the great articles about franchising. They have an excellent resource for free and also recommend some other websites such as the Small Business Association. The best advice I got when researching different franchises was to call and speak with as many current franchise owners as well as those that have left the franchise. I was at the end of a 4-month process with a franchise very close to sending my deposit when I spoke with an owner that changed my mind. I had spoken with over 20 owners and this person made it all clear. Point is this franchise was ranked in the top 100 of Entrepreneur Magazines Franchises and my personal research saved me from making a huge mistake.\n\nGood luck!

Why is it so hard to find a answer that you want on the internet?? I always want to find a answer on the internet but they give me something overboard i hate it and it gets on my nerves. Patience is a virtue...\nIf at first you don't succeed try try again...\n\nA pair of platitudes that may help you in the future. Sometimes it takes time to find the best answer. You often have to wade through sites and pages that really don't address your question. And sometimes you have to just try a different approach.\n\nAnd of course when all else fails there's all these great geniuses at Yahoo! Answers. :-)

What is an Erlang? The dimensionless unit named the erlang is a statistical measure of telecommunications traffic used in telephony. It is named after the Danish telephone engineer A. K. Erlang the originator of traffic engineering and queueing theory.\n\nIn the traffic calculation one Erlang implies a single resource in continuous use (or two channels at fifty percent use and so on pro rata). For example if a bank has two tellers and they are both busy the whole time that would represent two erlang of traffic.\n\nThe traffic measured in erlang is used to determine if a system is over- or under-provisioned (has too many or too few resources allocated).\n\nThe traffic measured over many busy hours might be used for a T1 or E1 circuit group to determine how many voice lines are in use at the busiest hours. For example if no more than 12 out of 24 channels are ever in use at any given time the other 12 might be made available as data channels.\n\nTraffic measured in erlang is used to calculate grade of service (GoS) or quality of service (QoS).\n\nThere are a range of different Erlang formulae including Erlang B Extended Erlang B Erlang C and a related Engset formula to calculate GoS

Are there any other half Black and Asian people who do not feel accepted by their Asian side?? I am half black and filipino. It seems that my filipino family members believe my mix is not as beautiful as a white and filipino mix. Can anyone relate to this? Sadly especially in my family I find that my older Filipino family members are prejudiced against black people or other non-white or Filipino people. I don't know the logic behind it. Maybe it was the way they were brought up a lack of understanding and tolerance. Don't despair. Keep in mind that it isn't you that is the problem. It's their ignorance that causes you to get that vibe from them. Nothing you can do about it. It won't change their minds.

What are some investment tips for a 401K account? I contribute 13% of my paycheck to my 401K. Is that enough if my salary continues to increase each year? I work in the IT industry. Go with the higher risk/higher reward investments offered by your employer early in your career and then go safer later in your career when you get closer to retirement. \n\nAnd open a Roth IRA every year!

Had posting deleted by Customer Care! Why? I named three singers followed with a question mark.\nObviously I wanted people's thoughts on the best. The replys were coming in but after about ten-minutes I received an e-mail from Customer Care stating Violation: Not a Question or Answer. What's up with this? Anyone else had things rejected for no good reason? This was the third such rejection in two days!\nAny ideas? Thanks much. I think it may have been a valid reason to the person that complained and Customer Care if not to you. The reason why is no one else had the background info that you did in your mind; you knew they where all singers and that by listing 3 similar people you where attempting to indicate a comparison but this is VERY vague to someone who doesnt know what you where thinking when you wrote it. Three names; who the heck are these people? Question mark; what does he want to know??? \n\nNo offence but I am sure I would have reported it as not a question or at least posted a response asking you to elaborate as well. The way to avoid this type of response from others it to take the time to ask a full question with detail...think of a quiz for school where they simply list three names of historic figures followed by a question mark...would you know that your teacher wanted you to compare their effect on the civilized world as it is today with no other information or would you fail miserably? My point is do as you did with this question; fill the reader in on all the important parts they need to come up with a good answer for you. Read it again before you post it to see if it will make sense to others.\n\nHope this helps to clarify the situation. Good luck with all your future questions!

if a car runs with a speed V for a period of time Twhat will be the run distance when V=0 i need equation if you plot it in graph form you are saying that the car has run with speed V for the period of time T.\nSo it has covered distance VT. (Newtons Laws Of Motion). So after running the distance VT if the V=0 then distance covered is VT\n\nYou have to use the formula s=ut+ 0.5at*t\n\ni agree with skinut's opinion BUT the qns can be interpreted in two different ways...\nthere might be circumstances when the initial speed might be V. and then the final speed in 0. if you know the laws motion the distance in this case will be VT. but i think skinut's answer is right for the current case. and i that case the asker really needs help.

what are sneakers made out of? They are called sneakers because they make far less noise when walking then do leather-soled shoes. You can sneak up on someone. Originally the soles were soft rubber and the uppers were canvas. Now leather may also be used in the uppers. Gymn sneakers were required by most schools to play on basketball courts because the rubber soles would not scratch the highly polished varnished floors.

Why is there Braille on drive up ATM's? Probably because all ATMs are made the same no matter where they are eventually installed. I would assume it's cheaper to build them all the same.
