guys hope yall look at this sirously plz i just found this bird egg at my lawn and is little bit craky by phiscaly dmg and i think the bird is dead but not sure i can see tho the light w/ little bit blood veins and i hope is alive do yall guys konw what should i do with it
should i give to my science teacher or some thing else plz help i dont want it to die,.............. (link)

Supaiku is right about the cracking, and if it was laying there for any ammount of time (more than an hour or so) then it's probably dead anyway due to heat loss. If it was still warm when you found it and you've kept it warm since then there's a chance, but not much of one.
As for heat, body temperature is good. My sister once kept incubating chicken eggs alive through an overnight power outage by holding them. If you have a heat lamp (or /maybe/ a bright desk lamp that you can bend over far enough to give off significant heat), wrapping the egg in cloth and putting it beneath the lamp might work. There's also something about humidity which is important to incubating eggs, but I'd say that at this point we're pretty much grasping at straws.
In all practicality, the egg was probably there because it had died in the nest and the birds got rid of it. Note that they have been known to carry egg fragments far from the nest so as not to give away its' position to predators.

okay so i spilt some soup on my dad's laptop keyboard! now some keys will not work and i dont know how to fix it! can someone please tell me what to do.. please dont delete this (link)
|
As a suppliment to mrs radcliffe's advice, note that most (all that I've ever seen, anyway) keyboards have detachable keys which can be easily be pried off with a pen or screwdriver and reattached with no harm done. Removing the affected keys for cleaning may help.
Worst case scenario it'll need keyboard replacement, which will take shop time but most laptop components are modular so it shouldn't be a major issue. For a temporary fix, you can probably plug a keyboard from a different computer into the laptop's ps/2 or usb port.

I have a question about dating/love.
I mean, whats the point? You date, you "fall in love", you break up, your heart is broken. I don't believe that love exists among teens. They all go around saying I love you to the first person they meet without ever actaully knowing what it feels like. I've done it, I admit and when I said "I love you" I knew I didn't mean it. I only said so because he said it first. I always told myself that I would never say those 3 words unless I really thought I was "In Love". I broke the promise that I had with myself and i'm starting to think that love is just a word that everyone throws around. I mean IS there really true love? Everyone is so wrapped up in having a boy/girl friend do they ever see the pattern they make? All the tears and confusion. Is it worth it when your only 15? Why can't all the hormones be turned off until were considered a adult? Seriously.
-------------------------------------------------
Feedback is all I desire but do try to sound just bit intelligent in your answers. Don't make me wonder if the schooling system is failing too.

Love. True love, to be specific. Horay.
It seems possible to me that there is no such thing and that it's merely a concept created by stories; "they were boinking like bunnies" has less narrative power than "theirs was a love deep and true". I believe that I have never seen or felt it. I can imagine such a feeling, but I feel doubt that it exists in practice.
Now, my perspective on this is weighted. I don't /like/ people. I feel best when I'm alone, and I am never lonely or bored when alone. I've had two girlfriends, one of which was a great girl. Could hardly have been better, in fact. They both cause/d me unparralelled misery; they "fall in love" and I don't, and I can't stand to be around them after a while, and I'm to wussy to hurt them by breaking up. And sex sucks. Not only does it waste time, but they want to cuddle and talk and **** after. Ugh. I've sworn off permanently. Unless someone panders to one of my many fetishes and there's an understanding that it's a one time thing, but the chances of that ever happening are negligible. :p
[/rant] Been needing to say that for a long time.

for AIM buddy icons.. i downloaded animation shop and paint shop pro.. but my free trials expired. i`ve tried removing the program but when i download again it says it`s already present on my computer. it`s driving me crazy not being able to make icons. is there any way i can download free trials or different programs? or is there any way to completely erase them from my computer so i can get the free trial again? please help! (link)

Three options. There's also such things as free paint programs. I'd recommend that you try The Gimp (http://www.gimp.org/windows/) or, failing that, Dogwaffle. Dogwaffle seems more oriented toward a tablet type drawing system, so you'll probably have more luck with the gimp.

i dont no why,but i cant sleep at night anymore! i get so tired in the day! Could anyone help me with this? (link)
|
One thing to do would be to exercise during the day. Significant exertion, sort of thing, and you'll be able to sleep much better. According to the media, you will not only sleep better but feel better and happier, live longer, and be able to fly if you flap your arms hard enough.
A marginally less healthy option would be sleeping pills.
Finally, a really bad idea would be to adopt a 36-12-12-12 sleep pattern - say awake for 36 (wake up at 7 AM or whatever, and go to bed 7 PM the following day), sleep for twelve hours, be awake for twelve, and sleep for twelve. At the end of the 36 you'll be tired enough to sleep at night, and during the 12 hour waking period you'll still be screwed up from staying awake so long and should be able to sleep that night. It's a bad idea, but it worked for me. :p

OK heres the dealio
i HATE showers...they just seem like a waste of time for me. Does anyone know any ways that will make showering fun?? no sarcastic answers please. Thanks (link)
|
A wise man once said: "Febreeze r0xors! I haven't had to take a shower in two weeks!"
I personally rather like showers because of the warm water. Mmmmmm.... Anyway, given that electronics are out, you're pretty much stuck with what you've got, which consists of you (I'm going to leave out the obvious suggestion ;\ ), some soaps and things, and a shower stall. I find that soaps are not inherently interesting but that if one has a shower stall with small tiles of different shades or colors, one can spend hours finding shapes in it. However, this is not everybody's idea of a good time.

I think there should be a requirement on this website saying "PEOPLE SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH A TOPIC BEFORE SUBMITTING THEIR PERSONAL OPINIONS". Frankly, I feel this is a helpful and useful site. But far to often, people are excercising their "freedom of speech" rights, and disguising their opinions as bonifide advice.
What set me off was a question asked by a friend of a gay male teen. A large majority of the answers were hateful diatribes delivered by self-righteous homophobes. From the advice you would of thought that her friend had leaprosy. Life is too short to HATE.
I had a good friend in high school that was the son of a youth pastor. The son, my friend, was gay. He chose to kill himself rather than live a life hating himself because he was gay. I did not know he was gay until after he died. I have so many woulda-coulda-shoulda's. Much of my advice on this website is given to those that are gay or know someone who is gay. To me, this is common sense. How can someone who is not gay, does not associate with anyone who is gay, has never associated with anyone who is gay, HOW CAN THEY give advice on a subject dealing with being GAY. I cannot give advice to someone about what it is like to give birth to a baby!! I cannot even attempt anything as such for I do not understand what mothers go through. Its silly. Now imagine if I was trained by others to believe that giving birth to a baby is disgusting and I hated mothers. This analogy is outlandish, but this is how I feel about the "advice" many people give.
Now throughout this "STATEMENT" I do have a question. What do you think? Help me to understand. Am I judging the judgemental, making me just as bad? Or do I have a point? This is the one time that I'd like to hear the opinions. (link)
|
Well, I haven't actually observed much anti-gay sentiment here. A little is unavoidable, but I haven't even seen as much as normal here. In one topic, three out of twelve replies indicated that the replee wasn't much in favor of gays, and none of which were over the top. If you'd like to link to the topic to which you refer, that could give me a better idea of what happened.
re: judging the judgemental, that's getting into philosophy... and if an issue has philosopical value, that just means there isn't a straight (ein pun! Mein Gott!) answer. I take the view that there may be some true homophobes (like arachnaphobes, not just people who have been indoctronated against gays), and that the rest are idiots because they feel strongly about an issue about which they are uninformed. I don't have any problems with taking this (judgemental) position because I'm not concerned about hypocracy or moral high ground. Anyway, they judgementalised first, so judging them is about equivalent to hitting someone in self defence.

Many religions believe that the world is going to end soon, and we are living our last days because of all the crime, hate, and everyone being open about their sexuality, what are your opinions on this? (link)
|
Crime (i.e. violence etc.) probably peaked during WW II, so chances are we're safe from that. Same with hate, though it might have peaked during the cold war instead. I don't know about sexuality, but the birth rate is finally looking to fall again.
I'd have to say we're safe from those. Now, the Mayans predicted that the world will end in 2012, and to the best of my severaly limited knoweledge they've never revised that date which lends them more credibility than other religions and/or prophets. Ask me again in 2013, eh?

...I was just sitting here on my computer, and I get this dark feeling inside of me really randomly, and then I turn my head and I blink and while I blink the feeling gets even worse and I see something torn up when I close my eyes. (i dont know what it was but it made my brain feel like it was rattling) omfg its creeping me out..it makes me feel suicidal. It makes me want to rip my skin apart. I sound completely psycho but I dont fucking know whats wrong with me and why the fuck this is happening!
I have no clue why this just happened..and I dont know why Im thinking this but now I just want to cut the back of my neck and down the middle of my back...I didnt even think this on my own I just got the feeling..and its not going away and I still want tocut the back of my neck. I dont wanna kill myself..I just have an urge to hurt myself and I have no fucking clue why...ive done it before but nowhere besides my arms and legs..
Im really scared of myself its not like I WANTED TO HAVE THESE THOUGHTS!!!!!!!!!!

Two things: One, you might have some sort of reaction to the light or screen refresh. Some people whose eyes/glasses/contacts are too good will get a headache from looking at a computer monitor, and it may be something like that. Also, monitor flicker has been known to cause depression and suicidal thoughts (among other things).
Second, is it dark in your room? And/or, have you been looking at something with significantly nonconstant colors? Anything flashing or blinking or changing brightness suddenly? If you have epilepsy or something similar (even if you don't know it), seeing something like that might set it off. There have been cases where people have keeled over dead from playing Diablo II in a dark room.
Finally, have you gotten a lot of sleep lately? If one sleeps too much (generally after staying awake for a long time... 40+ hours, like), after waking up watching something constant like a computer monitor or a book can cause interesting sensations, although I haven't encountered anything like you've described. Although, combined with one of the other things I mentioned and maybe a cold or flu onset, something like that could result, maybe.
Of course, you could be schitzophrenic or have a brain tumor or any number of other things... but for now I'm going to recommend avoiding the computer and talking to a councillor or therapist... anyone with education in the area.

If you can get the image to open in Dogwaffle, (I downloaded it yesterday, and it seems to only open .bmp and .tga), go buffer->greyscale->average.

My question is, why does it seem like an overwhelming amount of the advisors on this web site are teenage girls? I'm serious about this. Is it because they have more time on their hands, have a stronger feeling of needing to give advice, need more advice.etc.etc? What do you think the reason is? (link)
|
I'm with Missa, but I'd shorten it to "Men don't ask for directions." Also, females tend to be more social and so forth... and let's face it, giving advice on personal problems isn't really very manly.
I (18/m, antisocial) am here because I identify with some of the questions and would like to think that I can help.

how do you turn color pictures into black and white?? i will rate!! (link)
|
Photographs, or computer pictures?
With a photograph, you could take a picture of the first photo using black and white film (if you set it up right there shouldn't be much quality loss), or you could go to a copy place and they should be able to make a B&W version on decent quality paper, or you can scan it into a computer, convert it to black and white, and print it (preferably on photo paper). It's possible that one could develop the film in such a way that the resulting photograph was B&W... but I don't know anything about photography.
If it's a computer image, you'll have to use some sort of image editing program. Photoshop is best, if you've got access to a copy, or the free version of Project Dogwaffle should be able to do it. There must also be a thousand less well known programs which you could find and use for the job. Alternatively, send it to me and I'll do it and send the B&W version back, though I'm going to bed in maybe half an hour. uc_asc at yahoo.com

Im sorry to say that most of the time , when I sleep I dream about killing people or I die in my dreams, me and my grilfriend are really worried about this, does anyone have and advice for me? (link)
|
The fact that you're worried about it means that it's not a problem. Neat, eh? Since dreams don't necessarily affect your actions, the only way to predict whether you're going to, say, go on a killing spree is other factors. You're worried, which indicates that you have something along the lines of a conscience or morals or whatever, and don't want to. So you won't. Me and my B in psychology 101 agree that there's a pretty good chance that it's a result of worry or stress or somesuch, and probably isn't a mental problem.
The next paragraph is the 'just in case', which I know is probably irrelevant but which I can't really fail to mention for my, your, and other people who might have a vested interest in this question's peace of mind.
*If* you were a necrophiliac, algolagniac or hematolagniac, (one who derives pleasure from death/bodies, pain, and blood, respectively), it might be a different story. Even then, though, the fact that you're worried would probably mean you're not a danger; paraphilias don't magically make one a bad person and/or make one try to indulge in them. On the other knuckle, if you're experiencing strong homicidal feelings when awake, you probably ought to talk to a councillor.

Ok...im 14 and i have been made fun of since 4th grade....everyday i get called gay and it just makes me feel terrible...and i dont know why they do it ...i make good grades and im a good person... i jsut would like to know what to do... (link)
|
Fascinatingly enough, when one mocks another they reveal their own fears. Well, all that means is that the gay-callers are afraid of being gay, but it's kind of neat.
On a more relevant note, once I realised that nobody had a good reason to taunt me and that therefore those who did were idiots and could safely be ignored, I stopped caring so much. Mind you, I now, ah, exhibit antisocial tendencies, and I'm very much not a good person, so that might not be the way to go.
On the plus side, you're on the downhill now, kind of. Once you get to college it'll mostly (or completely) stop. And if you can get into the running start program*, you can go to a community or technical college for the last two years of high school. Look into that.
*This exists in the US. It may exist in other countries, possibly under a different name.

Is there anyway to get bigger boobs besides breast implants? I'm 14, and have no boobs what-so-ever. Please don't tell me to wait. Im desperate here. (link)
| |
If there was anything else that worked, it would be advertised somewhere other than spam sent from Uzbeckistan. I won't tell you to wait, but I might go so far as to say that no reasonable person cares.

i'm a senior in high school and i'm going to college next year. i'm a little confused on the whole hour consept, can somebody explain it to me? when they say that a class is three hours, does that mean three hours a day, three hours a week or what? and if you're taking 15 hours a semester, does that mean that you have 15 hours of class every week? i don't get it.
oh, and plese no "i dunno, i have never gone to college, but i think..." answers. (link)
| |
I don't know about hours, but the credit ammount is (in normal circumstances, in the US) equal to the number of hours per week spent in class. Since 15 credits is the average/recommended load, it's probably safe to say (if 15 was an example given) that hours are equal to the number of hours spent in class per week.

im having trouble with these stupid pop-ups on the computer...where can i get a pop-up blocker for free? (link)

If you use firefox, it has a popup blocking option under tools->options->web features. Otherwise, you can just turn off scripts/javascript in some browsers, and some others have a no-popups option hidden somewhere.

If god knows that we are gonna do something bad, like look up porn, why doesnt he try and stop us. I dont really understand it but, i am a porn addict and its getting harder and harder for me to stop. why would god let me do it if he knows its wrong? (link)
|
Maybe God doesn't care. In any case, he evidently has a strict non-involvement policy, so we're not likely to get a straight answer.
To me, the idea of a fairly neutral god seems much more likely than a fire-and-damnation type.

I was woundering if there was a way to get music into column.Im trying to make a neat looking column and i thought music could make it cooler and you could see what kind of music i like and stuff so if anyone can answer this for me thnx a bunch!!

One of the key rules for making a good web page is: never, ever, for any reason, put active content on the page. That means music(except in the form of a download link), video(except in the form of a special page for it), flash or shockwave(except for special pages for them), even animated .gifs(and for the love of god, never, ever, use an animated gif as a tiling background). And finally, never - ever - in any circumstances EVER use .wmv or .rm. Viewing .rm is okay sometimes, but... wait, I'm off topic.
That said, Pax Deorum by Enya would be pretty good, although it depends on what kind of collumn you're trying to make. It's not sudden/loud/obnoxious, so you'd likely only PO people with lower end machines. Also, you could get onto very tricky legal ground if you use a song from anyone who can take action against you, though at most you'd be looking at a demand that you take it down. If necessary, I've got a small collection of free music which I could send you if necessary, though it depends on what type of theme you're going for.
