i have to write a research paper on oil and i'm only allowed to use books or journals and i don't have access to a library. is there a website or any place where i can get a journal with alot of information about oil? thanks.
You can use Google Scholar to search for scholarly sources:
http://scholar.google.com/
Also, check the "references" section on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petroleum#References
You can't use Wikipedia itself, but you can use the references.

how do i get my myspace profile (about me section)
to have a picture and then directly to the right of it have text.?
i nkow that was confusing
but thanks in advance!!
"Direct image URL" must end in .png, .gif, .jpg, .bmp, or some other image format. You can get these here:
http://hotlinkfiles.com
http://imageshack.us
http://tinypic.com
They must also start with http://
If you want the image on the right instead, change it to "float:right".

ok so i am doing this paper on racism in cartoons before 1955 and i am looking for pictures... actually a specific picture.
since this is such a wide topic i chose tom & jerry as my main cartoon and i remember as a kid when they use to put reruns there was this episode where jerry (or tom!) had a dynamite stick that blew up and made his face burn and the artist referenced "black people" by making the lips bigger and "swollen" and added ribbons all over jerry (or tom's) head....
there was also a merry melodies cartoon that had a girl with a fruit basket over her head and another with the ribbons and both with the swollen lips...
can anyone help me pleaseeeeeeeee to find these picture i tried google but i am not that good a searching! :S:S:S:S thank you so much in advance!
Here is Jerry in blackface, but it's not exactly what you wanted:

I'm thinking about getting this MP3 player. I was wondering if it was compatible with Windows XP? And how would I put music/videos/pics on it? Also, for those of you that have it, would it be a good one to get? Feedback on it? Thanks ^_^
Yes, but you must update windows first. Go here in Internet Explorer:
http://update.microsoft.com
When it asks, click "express". It will then download the necessary updates for you. After updates are finished, you should restart windows and run the updates again(go to that site and click express). Continue doing that until it tells you there are no more updates. It will take a maximum of 7 restarts to be finished.

Could it be possible to buy a country? I mean not like so if you have it, you're king, but could you buy all the land in some place like Africa? Like think of the most poverty-stricken low-quality of living country in the world. If some person had like trillions of dollars/euros could they go and buy the land in the country and just make it a better place? Could someone explain this to me?
Yes, but land is very expensive. By my calculations, which are certainly very off, all the land in Africa is worth $18,209,734,800,000*. That's 18 trillion dollars. The US makes $13 trillion per year, not including expenses. No individual has even $1 trillion.
Add to that the cost of living, which I estimate to be $7000 per person**, absolute minium. For every poverty-stricken person in Africa, that would be $4,410,000,000,000($4 trillion)*** per year.
So you can see that it is beyond any one person, or even any one rich nation to help the people in Africa. Many nations would have to come together and devote an extreme amount of resources to help Africa. And at this point Africa might not even accept help, their political situation is very messed up.
(*Assumes $80,000 per acre, an arbitrary guess)
(**Based on IRS national living standards)
(***Calculated with 70% poverty level)

When I download videos, the sound plays & the visual doesn't.. This is the second time it's happened to me. At first when I try to play it, it says "Aquiring Codec" & then it plays just the sound. Last time it happened, someone told me to download this codec pack, but I dont know where to get it now :[ Does anyone know where I can download it for free?
Here is a codec pack with nearly every codec in existence:
http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm
You want the "full" version, at the top. Direct download link:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/24mpfp
Depending on which media player you use now, you might have to use the included Media Player Classic for some of the codecs to work.
Alternatively, you could use VLC media player:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
VLC is easier to install, but it includes less codecs than the K-Lite codec pack I mentioned above, and I don't like its interface. Direct download link:

what kind of SPF sunscreen would i have to wear in the summer to become tan...but not be at risk for cancer??
Tans are caused by damage to your skin. If you have a natural tan, then you are at risk for skin cancer. The lighter the tan, the lower the risk.

why do you lose weight faster the heavier you are? is it because when youre skinnier your body would want to keep onto that weight whereas heavier there is excess weight that can be shed and the body doesnt need?
Bigger people burn more calories just by staying alive. A large person may burn 3000 calories a day just to keep their organs working. A small person, by comparison, may only burn 1500. If you eat more than that and don't exercise it off, you will gain weight; and vice-versa.
You can see, then, that large people have to do less to lose weight. They can eat more than small people and exercise less. If they go on diets designed for small people, they will lose weight much faster; maybe even faster than it would be healthy.

Follow this guide:

If that guide doesn't work, then you have dead pixels, not just stuck. You will need to replace the laptop to fix that.

if you can only get STDs from another person transmitting it to someone else.. how did the first STD start? like, why only through intercourse does it get passed? how did the first person somehow get this and it kept on going on and spreading throughout the ages?
They are passed by chance. They just happen to reside in certain bodily fluids. When these fluids enter someone else's body, they also become infected. The virus doesn't do anything to help propagate itself other than existing.
The STDs came about by evolution, like everything else. They mutated from other viruses.
Human HIV specifically came from blood-to-blood contact with apes. By a hunter who was hunting the apes.
Regarding xxlilreddivaxx's answer(which should reappear here in a few days):
-STDs can be spread even with protected sex
-Many STDs can survive for hours or days without a host
-The type of herpes spread from kissing and lip gloss is not an STD. It will only affect your lip area, and might not be permanent.

If I smoke weed and tell my school counselor .. can they tell my parents?
Counselors can tell your parents whatever they want. They are not bound to confidentiality like a psychiatrist is. They are also required by law to report something illegal or dangerous.
So don't tell them anything. Go to a proper psychiatrist if you want to speak freely.

allright. so i signed up a form once on a website months ago. recently i found out that they used my full name as a username for a 'profile' on their site with all my information (height, WEIGHT, LOCATION, ethnicity, full name!!)
i came to know about this profile when i searched my name on google.
i called the website service and asked them to cancel my profile, and they did that.
but on google, its still the first thing that comes up and you can easily see everything in CACHED. =(
there is a form on google in which u can ask them to not include a site on their search engine, but the site either has to be a dead site (404 error) or your own site.
does anyone have any idea what to do? i feel SO uncomfortable with all this information out under my name, and god knows who is 'google-ing' me!!
should I call the website service again and ask if THEY can do anything in the matter? Or should I wait a century for google to update its cached? And will it?
Thanks soo much guys
Use this:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removals
It will be updated within 5 days.
Most other search engines cache pages, too. You might want to investigate removing the caches from them.
In any case, almost all caches are deleted after three weeks. Archive.org, as mentioned above, is kept forever, but their crawler is very slow, so I doubt they caught your page.

Is it possible to die in your dream? My brother told me that in his psychology class, his teacher said that it's impossible to die in your own dream, and if you do, it means you are dead. My friends are all "No way I've died in my dream before," but I don't believe them because I don't think you can be alive and dream about being dead and actually know what it feels like. Every time that I've had a dream where I was going to die, I would wake up the split second before I died. In one dream, I was in a car, and it went off a cliff, and right before I hit the bottom, I was crying and then I woke up with tears in my eyes. Also, how come I woke up with tears in my eyes from that dream?
**This is my 2000th answer!!!**
Yes, I have died in my dreams. Many times. My dreams are usually from a third person perspective(I look down on myself), so when I die I see myself die. The dream usually ends soon after that, but sometimes my perspective starts following a different character in my dream for a while.
I've never died in a first-person perspective, so maybe that is rare. I doubt it's impossible.

how do i do it
The URL must be direct. In other words, it must end in .mp3 or .wma. Other formats will probably not work. It also must start with http://
The total length of the entire caption has to be less than 60 characters. So you pretty much have to own your own web server to get a direct URL small enough to fit.
This only works on Internet Explorer. There is no way to fit code small enough to work in firefox.
Also, this is incredibly annoying. I will immediately leave any website that automatically plays music.

As a rough percentage.. what are the chances of getting pregnant by pre-cum when there was no penetration, no penis/vagina touching.. just fingers touching lips which didnt enter either
My guess is 1 in 20,000.

is there any way to change an
MPEG-4 file to an
.avi
.mpg
.m1v
.mp2
or
.mp2v
file?
so it can be edited with Windows Movie Maker
if not what is a good video editing program ?
MPEG-4 is .mpg, and usually .avi. It's the most common video format. Media player should be able to edit it. If not, convert it to windows media with mediacoder:

Okay. My current screen res is 800x600, which I don't like. I'd prefer to have 1024x768 (that's the next option) BUT then everything is slightly too long for me to view. (My start bar is too long, etc.)
What can I do to fix this? I really hate 800x600, lol.
Please and thank you.
Get a new monitor. That's the only solution.

How come all the text on sites are like all in bold writing?
And to me, the text seems to "blur" my vision..
And sometimes some of the text is bigger than on "Internet Explorer"
Is there a way to "unbold" all the text or does it stay like that?
Please help!!
Thanks in advance

That is Apple's text rendering. It's different than Microsoft's, and designed to look better (at the expense of readability). There's no way to turn it off.

So is the iPhone worth getting or no?
Thanks :]
No. The iPhone looks pretty, but it has less features than many other phones. It isn't worth the money.
