» What did the terrorist dude mean when he called Barack a house *****?
is it because he doesn't work outside or is there more to it?It means "uncle tom" an expression used for american blacks who were lackeys or bending the knee to whites. It refers to the slaves who used to work in the slave owner's house and were like servants in the mansion, like pets, who had it easy because they were servants to the white people. It is an insult because the terrorist hates everything about America including Barack Obama.The expression means that he is a black person who works closely with whites and has a more comfortable life and more privileges than the average black. The expression derives from slavery times, when the slaves who worked in the house had a higher status and easier life than those who worke...... - 2010-03-12

G'day, One of my Video sources has a custom thumbnail, which I'd like to remove.

» Negativity About Rap/ Hip-Hop?
It seems that a lot of people have a lot of comments and negativity about rap and hip-hop. I really want to know what's the issue with hip-hop music. Those who listen to hip-hop as me do the same of those who listen to pop, rock, country etc. I enjoy relaxing back and hearinng 50 on a track and relating to some things. It even relaxes me after a situation. As a female I even enjoy writing because that's my preference and I like certain things that I write that I don't find so offensive. Yeah some hip-hop may contain raw lyrics and may have to do with violent activity but what's the difference from hearing it in a song than hearing violent activities taking place on the news? It happens everyday. Rappers may talk about ho...... - 2010-03-12

Do you mean what makes a used car maintain a high value. -miles -condition -durability -mpg... if you are talking about the same car like lets say a 99 honda civic si.. okay so suppose average goes for like 7k you could get more if your has low miles is completely stock or has upgrades that improve the vehicle.

» Physics question help?
A skier is at an altitude of 41m up a mountain. How fast will he be going in ms-1 when he reaches the bottom? (g is 10ms-2)Use conservation of energy (and assuming no frictin loss as he goes down the mountain), Potential energy at mountain top = Kinetic energy at bottom mgh = (1/2)mV^2 where m = mass of the skier g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/sec^2 (given) h = altitude = 41 m (given) V = skier's velocity at bottom of mountain Since "m" appears on both sides of the equation, it will cancel out and the above becomes gh = (1/2)V^2 and substituting appropriate values, (10)(41) = (1/2)V^2 and solving for V, V = 28.64 m/sec.

» Why are libertarians seen as crazy?
Everytime I tell people I'm a libertarian they usually say "well thats great, but you know your beliefs could never work in the real world!". I say "Why the hell not?" We as libertarians don't believe we need to be told by the government what's morally right and wrong. And we believe the government doesn't have the right to take our money away either (aka taxes). Some of us don't even think we need a leader (me). Personally, I don't need to be lead. I could survive just fine with no government. I'd sit on my front porch with my 30 odd 6 all day long. I doubt i'd have any problems. The only problem I have with libertarians is they tend to think we should not have moral principles to our laws...... - 2010-03-12

I don't think that there is an all around rule of thumb for night exposures because you'll run into so many different lighting situations.

» Better gas mileage - who is right?
Here's a question that has been passed back an forth in the lunch room that causes a lot of contention: Slow down to get better gas mileage or drive really fast. It's contended that driving very fast gets better mileage because the engine simply isn't running as long.I knew there was a reason i didnt go to the lunch room There is a threshold of efficiency with every vehicle. Up to a certain point, just dumping fuel in an engine is often not nearly as efficient as driving at a more conservative pace. It depends on the car. No it is not running as long as the slower driving car, but you're also opening the throttle open. There is also the issue of resistance. At or up to certain speeds, cars drive through the a...... - 2010-03-12

A skier is at an altitude of 41m up a mountain. How fast will he be going in ms-1 when he reaches the bottom? (g is 10ms-2)Use conservation of energy (and assuming no frictin loss as he goes down the mountain), Potential energy at mountain top = Kinetic energy at bottom mgh = (1/2)mV^2 where m = mass of the skier g = acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/sec^2 (given) h = altitude = 41 m (given) V = skier's velocity at bottom of mountain Since "m" appears on both sides of the equation, it will cancel out and the above becomes gh = (1/2)V^2 and substituting appropriate values, (10)(41) = (1/2)V^2 and solving for V, V = 28.64 m/sec.

He should just finish his 2 year contract with Brescia, and hopefully Trap will call him up for Euro 2004.Dreeeeeaming... dream dream dream.... dreaming.Trappatoni's the problem. I would have loved to have seen Baggio picked but the reason they didn't go far was the coach. He played not to lose as opposed to playing to win.

» Editing Tips
So I have been doing photography for a couple of years now and I am getting the hang of taking the pictures but when I compare them to others on, let's say Flickr I find that no mater what I do, my pictures' colours look like junk, all washed out and dull even when I take them in the sun. Now I know real photographers never just take a picture and that is it so I have been reading around and found that editing the pictures colours and such might be able to help. What I would like to know is what should I be doing to the pictures every time I off-load them to my computer? What types of thing should I fix and edit with my pictures to get them looking more professional. If you want to take a look at some of my pictures to give me a better ide...... - 2010-03-12

I am right now, and he's old enough to be my father, but I couldn't ask for a more wonderful man! We never meant for this to become a long-term relationship, but it's been five years and we're still going strong. I've never asked him to leave his wife and he's never asked me not to see other men, so it's not as if we're delusional about what we have, but we fell in love early on, and when this is finally over, we will both have broken hearts.oooo! oooo!

» Should I use Scope both before and after brushing? ?
From what I understand Scope can serve to both loosen plaque "before" brushing and clean newly exposed areas "after" plaque is brushed away. Supposedly the effectiveness of scope is reduced directly after brushing due to the residue of the toothpaste combining with some of the active ingredients in scope. Who knows...The one thing that is more important that brushing or mouthwashes is the flossing. Flossing is what you need to focus on. First I brush my teeth and follow with flossing and then I do the mouthwash....... - 2010-03-12
» exposure for b/w at night
when taking night pictures of like buildings and what not with black and white film a good rule of thumb is...30secs at f/16 is this correct? also, anybody use the book PHOTOGRAPHY 2nd ed. by Bruce Warren? -SeanIt would depend on film choice, and if buildings are lit or not. I don't think that there is an all around rule of thumb for night exposures because you'll run into so many different lighting situations. Bracket your shots extensively and take notes so later you can tell what worked and what didn't.Just be reminded of the reciprocity effect. The relationship between time and exposure breaks down after 1 second exposures. I generally use the meter reading from my camera and then bracket to the next two greater times.

» How do you pronounce coyote?
When I was living in CA it was cai-yo-tea. Now in the midwest it is cai-yote. ki o tay it is a Spanish word and should be pronounced as follows; Ko(long o) yo(long o) ta (long a)I've always noticed it to be an individual preference in how it's pro- nounced. I've used it both ways. Especially while living in Arizona and we'd see occasional packs of them. Then I referred to them as Cai yotes. But then I referred to them singularly as a cai yote also. I'd like to hear the Spanish prounouciation some time. As that is the Spanish name for the animal that we use in our language also.

This is a good and bad thread at the same time. The Fulham-Man City game next weekend is not on PPV as was originally thought.

» 2nd Body - New Rebel XT for $399 or Used 20D for $550
I currently shoot with a 40D. I am looking for a second camera to have around my neck to hold a 2nd lens. I really am considering going with a new XT, since Amazon has it (body only) for 399 and I LOVED my old XT. Are there any huge reasons I should go with a used 20D instead??I'm always really impressed with the images that the XT series bodies can create. For a second body that seems like a great way to go. Light and portable as well.I'd go with the 20D. The one thing people forget to consider when looking for a backup camera body is the controls. The controls/features for the XT is rather different than the 40D and the 20D is more or less similar.

» Better gas mileage - who is right?
Here's a question that has been passed back an forth in the lunch room that causes a lot of contention: Slow down to get better gas mileage or drive really fast. It's contended that driving very fast gets better mileage because the engine simply isn't running as long.I knew there was a reason i didnt go to the lunch room There is a threshold of efficiency with every vehicle. Up to a certain point, just dumping fuel in an engine is often not nearly as efficient as driving at a more conservative pace. It depends on the car. No it is not running as long as the slower driving car, but you're also opening the throttle open. There is also the issue of resistance.
