does anyone know what the japanese word for *peace* is? ive tried google...it didnt work. thanks! (link)
|
I'm going to vote for 'heiwa.' Although, wahei is very similar; they're identical except that the order of the kanji is reversed, which is confusing to my little (non-japanese-speaking ;p) mind.
和 わ (n) (1) sum; (2) harmony; peace; 'wa' (probably not this one)
平和 へいわ (adj-na,n) peace; harmony; 'heiwa'
和平 わへい (n,vs) peace; 'wahei'
I also found that 和平プロセス 'wahei purosesu' means 'peace process,' which combined with the fact that it has a one-word definition makes me want to lean toward 'wahei,' but the first person to reply may very well have greater knowledge of the language. Kyuui can also mean 'peace, tranquility' but it has several hominyms with different kanji:
球威 きゅうい (n) (pitcher's) stuff; 'kiyuui'
旧衣 きゅうい (n) worn-out clothes 'kiyuui'
休意 きゅうい (n,vs) peace; tranquility; 'kiyuui'
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html is a handy japaneseenglish dictionary. It seems to work best with the 'exact word match' box checked.

hey,
I was wondering if anyone could either
a) tell me where to find the code for the song "whats this?" from the nightmare before christmas.
or
b) tell me a site where I can upload a song and they will give me a code.
I'll rate 5's for good answers. Thanks lots. (link)
| |
What is an mp3 code? Are you referring to changing a song from a different format into .mp3 format? Something about the id3 tags (which contain information such as artist, album, etc.)? Lyrics? Some sort of song reference code similar to ISBN numbers?

my teacher is makin everyone do an extemporaneous speech which is just a regular speech but u only git 24 hours to prepare for it and you have to answer a question. my question is which sex is more responsible for birth control. i need everyones opinions so tell me what you think and why you think that. i rate high cuz this is obviously easy. thnx in advance. (link)

Hah, good one. It's mock-controvercial, which makes it a good topic of debate that won't overtly offend anyone. If you argue that it's the boy, boys will be offended but not say anything because they think it'll make them look like chauvanistic pigs, and if you argue that it's the girl, almost everyone will think that it's slightly feminist but logical. This is going to be a borderline, rant, but maybe you can get something out of it. ;p
Honestly, I'd have to say girls. As I mentioned, that viewpoint is generally looked down on as chauvanistic - it's the girl who will get pregnant, after all - but it seems more logical no matter how I look at it.
1) Girls have more and easier birth control options. Most of them are outmoded, but both the pill and implants (time release, not IUD) are easy and effective.
2) It's the girl that gets pregnant, so she should be the one that worries about it. This is the stickler, but I can't think of anything illogical about it.
I would recommend that you start off explaining the traditional view (it should be men because...), but I can't really think of an objective "because." Maybe "because they're getting a free ride," but with mandatory child support that's not true at all. I suspect that the old view exists in large part to the fact that the only birth control device available for many years was condoms, and because as a result of that the woman in an accidental pregnancy is thought of as a victim.
It may also be worth mentioning that even if the 'women should be the ones who use birth control' view is right, it's still irresponsible for men to not use it. There are women who lie about being on birth control, have a baby so that they can get the child support, and spend it on completely unrelated things. And there's *nothing* that the man can do about it (except prevent it from happening in the first place).

Here's a passage that's apparently from the Christian Bible.
I cannot, for the life of me, tell if it's a real passage. I've searched all over Google, but to no avail.
"Wherefore I say to all those who desire to be disciples, keep your hands from bloodshed and let no flesh meat enter your mouths; for the Lord is just and bountiful; who ordains that man shall live by the fruits and seeds of the earth alone. I am in all creatures and all creatures are in me. In all their joys, I rejoice. In all their afflictions, I am afflicted." 38:1-6
I just need to know what book of the Bible this is.
(Blank 38:1) Just like that.
Thanks a lot in advance (link)
|
I'm with Danger. A search of some 19 English version of the bible returned no results for the (consecutive) words 'flesh meat,' which seemed like a fairly unique word pair.

i have limewire and sometimes when i download songs i get some popups and my computer gets slower, so what are some things i have to watch out for when i download songs ..any hints?
ps. i know that after i download the song i right click it and click on unshare file, what else? (link)
|
Last time I checked, Limewire doesn't have popups.
I am going to recommend that you get adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and avg (http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1), which are free antivirus programs, and so a full scan of your computer.
Then, I'm going to recommend that you not download files which are in dangerous formats, such as .wmv and .asx.
Edit: I feel compelled to append this after all the bad answers given.
Limewire is not an unstable program. It has very, very rarely crashed any of the three computers I have used it on except in exceptional circumstances.
I know that was a joke, but you do not recieve a virus for every song downloaded.
Limewire is not illegal. Downloading or uploading copyright content with it is.
Turning off sharing will not do anything at all to stop you from getting viruses.
|
I don't think anyone will really know the answer to this, but it's worth a shot.
Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies of all time. *stop reading if you don't want any spoilers, but considering it's 12 years old I think I'm on the safe side* Anyway... at the end Jenny dies, presumably of AIDS. It seems like the symptoms point to it. That said, wouldn't that mean that Forrest and Forrest Jr. end up dying? The end does not imply that at all but that's the only thing that makes any sense. If she had AIDS and then gave birth, she passed it onto Junior. Having sex with Forrest to conceive Junior would have passed it on as well.
Sorry. This has just been bothering me for a long time because even though it's just a movie I'd be sad if they had to die too. :( heh. (link)
|
It's entirely possible that she did get it after having Jr., but she seemed like the breakup fling type....
Also, people who have AIDS can give birth to children who do not. I forget what sort of circumstances are and are not necessary, it's just something I remember from health class... like six years ago.
|
okay. since i cant let my computer have any viruses.
what will happen if i download limewire, download 10 songs or so and then uninstall it. then just install it whenever i need it.
im willing to do anything not to get a virus. because my mom said if i crash my computer one more time then i cant get it fixed anymore..
and walmart.com has nothing to chose from!
thanks.. (link)
|
Having it installed won't cause problems. What you have to do is be careful what you download. DO NOT download .wmv or .asx formats; DO NOT download files which are the wrong size (mp3 usually comes out to around one to two megabytes per minute); DO NOT download files from a computer which returns too many or many very similar results.
Install antivir (http://www.free-av.com/), adaware (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/) and the zonelabs firewall (http://www.zonelabs.com). They all have a free personal version for download.
As for crashes, if worst comes to worst, just reinstall the system software. Backing up important files might be a good idea.

Ever since my parents have said no games and no music the internet is boring. Starting my own website is boring. The only thing I can do online that I know of is update my blog so what can people do online besides gaming, chatting, and listening to music? (link)

is it possible to receive different digital codes, at the same frequency, sent by different transmitters, in a very short (or the same) time period? won't the codes cause distortion for each other? the receiver
will be connected to a circuit that will decode the codes and segregate further.
if yes,how can this be achieved? (link)
|
I'm no expert in the subject, but my father (an electronics engineer) was working with a similar problem a few months ago, where he had a number of devices which needed to transmit data to a receiver (via radio) on the same frequency after receiving a single activation code. I don't know how the problem was eventually resolved* (and probably wouldn't understand it if I did), but the problem itself was that the data was corrupted if two of the devices transmitted at the same time.
I think it just might be possible that you could do some fancy amplitude math or somesuch if the signals were out of phase with one another, but I wouldn't bet my success on something like that actually working and it doesn't sound like you have the equipment for it.
*One idea was for each device to randomize the time between receiving the signal and transmitting data to where the probability of two transmitters sending data at the same time was very small... I can't think of a very good solution for this problem.

I am looking for a religion but I want one thats right for me. Can someone tell me every religion out there and what its about? Also for religions that require you to go to church is it possible to just stay home and do what you would at a church and still have it not be a sin? (link)

Wicca is just a system of beliefs; you don't have to practice magic to be Wiccan.
Satanism is fuzzier, but sacrificing animals is not required. There are three basic types of Satanists:
The first type aren't necessarily religious; they have a humanistic, materialistic, self-serving philosophy, and use "Satanism" to describe it.
The second type worship the Christian Satan, and typically have the same type of life philosophy as the first type.
The third type is the one that sacrifices animals and so forth. They are a very small fraction of the people who call themselves Satanists, and may have the same characteristics as one, both, or (rarely) none of the first two types.

is limewire illegal? (link)
|
http://www.limewire.com/english/content/ftc.shtml#8f
Far's I can make out, it comes down to this: having Limewire is not illegal. Running Limewire is not illegal. Downloading copyright material with Limewire is illegal. Distributing copyright material with Limewire is illegal.

ok. i feel really stupid but, what is a noob? a lot of my friends say it on the computer and i'll feel really dumb if i ask. thanks :P (link)
|
If you don't know what it means, you are one. Nice near-circular definition, eh? :)
Last I heard it was short for 'newbie,' a British-origin slang word which is, itself, short for "new boy." The definition has evolved slightly since then, as evidenced by the other posts. Note that it's non-gender-specific now.

how do you get on myspace on a school computer ? (link)
|
I assume that the school computer is blocking myspace. More detail in a question is nice.
There are apparently a variety of methods, but the only (effective) one I understand is Circumventor. To use it, you'll need a home computer with an active internet connection and either no NAT or port-forwarding. If you have either of these and don't understand them, ask the person who set up your home network.
The web site for it is here: http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor/simple-circumventor-instructions.html Follow the instruction on that page. When you start the program, you can get an address from it; at school, enter that address in a web browser. It will send you to the proxy you have installed on your home computer, and you can browse that way. Of course, your home computer will have to be on and connected to the internet.

All right, I'm a relatively healthy (physically and mentally, I hope) young woman. I've never been intimate with a man. However, I've realized more and more that violence turns me on. For instance, when I see rape on TV or in a movie, I feel myself becoming aroused. When I fantasize, I always have these dark fantasies where a man is hurting me and forcing himself on me. It's not like I don't appreciate or crave romance - I do! Why am I having these thoughts though? I don't want to be hurt or violated or anything, but it just turns me on. Is it all right? Would a man be freaked out if I shared this with him? Would he take advantage of me? I've always thought I was a "good girl". (link)
| |
Cspinoza1's answer is better than any I could make; I'd just like to add that it's a fairly common fantasy for women, not something horribly deviant. I'd hazard a guess that it's all right so long as you don't try to put yourself in a position to have the fantasy realized, which obviously you have no desire to do. As for men, it depends on the guy. Probably most people would take it in stride, a few it would freak out, and a very few might try to take advantage of you. Can't say as I see any reason to bring it up though.

Ohk i have a serious question.
And sorry its going to be kinda of long but i would really appreciate if you guys took the time to read this.
i Just watched True life the one about obessive Compulsive disorder. Well alot of the Things those People were doing kinda reminded myself of me. Like not what they would do like count and retouch things because it didnt feel right but heres some things i do.
Thourgh Out the day i make sure all the doors are locked all of them- i dont know why it just bothers me
-Before i go to bed i make sure the doors are locked and the closet on the first floor. When i go in my bedroom i check my closet and make sure my window is locked. Like two days ago i had to make sure my door was locked because i heard something out in the kitchen.
Im afraid of someone coming into my house and taking me. I watch alot of law and order and Csi.
But i dont think that would have any thing to do with it.
-im terrified of needles. When i go to get blood drawn or shots. I start to cry.
-When i see needles on the tv i have to cover my eyes or look the other way. My mom is diabetic and she has to use insulin with the needles i looking at her while she does it.
When i was little i had this dream of me and my friend getting kidnapped by a doctor and he shoved needles in us and i died.
-i Cant throw-up if i do by getting sick or something i won't eat nothing for like the next three days.
-At school with my lockers ill lock them and then check 5-6 times to make sure theres no way anyone can open the locker - I have had my purse stolen from me and my locker broke into before like 3 years ago.
-At work I have to sign off the register everytime i walk away form it. I constantly walk to make sure im off.
I dont really know if this could be ocd. or its just being a strange person. Im 17/f

I suspect that you do have OCD.
EDIT: one of the later posters brings up a good point. It isn't a disorder until it becomes a problem.
I am obsessive-compulsive, but of a different type (hand washing). We have different specific symptoms, but I think that I know - exactly - what you mean when you say that the possibility of the doors being unlocked bothers you. I get it after I've touched something I consider unclean, and the solution is washing, but I rather suspect it's the same feeling. It just won't go away until you check, sort of sits in the back of your mind and bugs the hell out of you...?
Hopefully it doesn't take up too much of your time - it sounds like those habits wouldn't take more than a minute or so per instance - so it shouldn't be much of a problem.
Handy linkage to the omgofficial OCD criteria: http://www.biologicalunhappiness.com/DSM-OCD.htm
The thing with the needles seems like an unrelated phobia. I had a girlfriend who would panic and faint every time she went in for shots, and she doesn't have any of the other symptoms you described.

i have only had 1 wet dream and i have pubic hair and sperm but is it normal for a guy to have only 1 wet dream? (link)

Never had one and I'm 19. Not that I'm normal, but.... :p
Most likely it just depends on how heavy a sleeper you are.

Please rephrase your question in English so that it does't hurt to read.

The guy that I like is about 25 pounds overweight and isnt athetlic at all. I asked him if he wanted to play tennis with me because I have been taking lessons. The whole time we played he critized me, saying mean things like "your stamina is terrible", what kind of lessons have you been taking", and " I thought you would have been way better". He was really upsetting me so finally I said that I was still learning and to give me a break. The thing was that he was a lot worse than me, and I was trying to say nice things to encourage me.
A couple days later he told me that he thought I should lose 15 pounds. I am average, not fat. He is way more overweight than me and I have never said anything to him because I know it would just hurt him. My feelings were very hurt with all his negativity. Should I move on? (link)
| |
Drop him. Drop him like a piece of rectangular construction material, or like a hot skillet-type pan which you picked up accidentally. Only truly exceptional people who would engage in such repugnant behavior in a situation such as described. You could do better if you were fifty years old and a hundred pounds overweight.

A deleted file is easily retrievable until it is overwritten with other data. Disk Investigator (http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/dskinv.html) would be able to show you the name of the file - even if you've deleted it and emptied the recycle bin - and recover it until it has been overwritten.
To overwrite the file (and all other deleted files which may be retrievable), download Eraser from http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/download.php. Install it and open 'my computer'. Right-click on the drive which had the file on it, and select 'erase unused space'. Click 'options', select 'pseudorandom data', click 'ok', and click 'yes'. It will proceed to overwrite the unused space on the drive, including the movie. No, this won't erase any files which haven't been deleted.
Eraser can be used to overwrite files that haven't been deleted, which saves you from having to overwrite all unused space every time you want to get rid of something. To do this, right click on the file or folder and select 'erase'. It's good practice to use it on any file you don't want people to see.
