» SPHI300 & MacOSX compatability
Is the Samsung SPH I300with Palm OS v3.5.2 compatable with Mac OSX? ˆcan't get them to synch.Hi nancyannmarie!! Well, the short answer to your question is yes, you can sync your Samsung SPH I300 with a Mac computer with OS X. Follows to answer how you can do that: You can read at the SPH I300's manual the following (pay special attention to the NOTE): "Macintosh System Requirements for the Palm Desktop Software Any Palm™ handheld and HotSync cradle Apple Macintosh or compatible with a Power PC processor Mac OS 7.5.3 or later One open serial (printer/modem) port (USB-equipped computers, such as the Apple iMac, require the Palm Connect USB adapter.) ----------------------------------- NOTE: You ca...... - 2009-07-04
» How long does the pain last?
I had a miscarriage on Wednesday nigh, I am no longer bleeding too much, like a light period. I have a lot of pain though in my pelvic are. Mainly when I sit down and when I use the restroom. How long do you think this pain will last? I also have a dr. apt. Monday. Thanks for your answers!Depending on how far along you were, it can last a few days. A misscarriage is a miserable thing to have to go through hon. I have been there and thought I would die. Your body has to sluff off all of the endomitrium, or the lining in your uterus and it messes with your hormones and your bowels as well. Try taking a good fiber supplement or a stool softener. I remember feeling like my insides were falling out my bum, but that wasn't the case. Tak...... - 2009-07-04
» Need Flash Help - Which one to get?
I am buying a flash this week and I'm trying to figure out which is the right one. I have a canon xti and i am considering the 430 and 580, is the 580 that much better for the extra money. Also What is the advantage of a Flash Bracket over just attaching it to the camera? I see the bracket doesn't cost that much more and from what I read the benefits seem to be worth it.If you think you want a bracket, go for it. As for the flashes, if you have the extra money to throw around go for the 580. However the 430 is a better value, if youre on a budget.580EX II - Slightly increased GN (more power), metal foot, weather sealed, can act as a master for other Canon flashes that operate with the wireless E-TTL system.

» C++ Polymorphism Question
ParentType* A = new ChildType(); myMethod(*A); ... void myMethod(ParentType& x); void myMethod(ChildType& x); If ChildType extends ParentType, which function gets called?The first one. Polymorphism occurs at runtime and the compiler only knows that the pointer A is a ParentType at compile time. I got a question too. I've never gotten the references in C++. So when you say void myMethod(ParentType& x), then x is a pointer that is automatically dereferenced when used? It's just weird that the basis of everything is pointers (e.g. new returns a pointer) and references just seem to add another level of indirection and confusion.The first one. Polymorphism occurs at runtime and the compiler only knows that the pointer A is a ParentType at ...... - 2009-07-04
» Please explain the difference between the NASDAQ and NASDAQ 100?
So the NASDAQ is composed of technology and growth companies but the NASDAQ 100 is composed of large caps and non financial companies. How are these two highly correlated? This seems to be the best ETF to invest in if you want NASDAQ performance. Why? What risk is not eliminated if you want to hedge against NASDAQ volitility by shorting the NASDAQ 100?Wow. Such a complicated question for so early in the morning. The first responder has given you a concise answer that is exact. I will elaborate just a little.

» Why are so many people who claim to be non-believers attracted to questions in religion and spirituality?
I don't care much about pets. Therefore, I don't ask or answer questions in the pet category. Could it be that atheists, and/or non believers are hungry for the Truth aka Jesus Christ?I've asked this same question before. You get the same tired answers from the same tired atheists. I have to agree with you, they have a longing for Christ and the gospel but don't realize it. They are here on earth to glorify God, although they don't do it. I also think it scares them at times, and they like to come here to get relief from other non-believers who think they can determine what God says in His word, when in truth they have no idea.

» Graphing an inequality. help?
why is it usually only necessary to test one point when graphing an inequality?Testing a point of an inequality tells you which area to shade as a solution if you were to pick two points to test, you would still get the same area to shade. let's say y>2x+1 let's pick two test points on opposite sides of the line (-2,2) 2 > 2(-2)+1 2 > -3 this is true, so we shade towards the test point. in other words, the area to the left of the line gets shaded (1,-1) -1 > 2(1)+1 -1 > 3 this is not true, so we shade away from the test point. in other words, the area to the left of the line gets shaded this is why it's only necessary to test one point! you're are going to obtain the same answer. hope this...... - 2009-07-04

Hi folks. Just bought the program yesterday, and after figuring out that I had to turn off my Norton virus protection to get the software to fully scan, Zoom is now working smashingly! My only problem so far is that it's not reading all my international characters as they appear on the site. We're a movie and music review site, and while the program is picking up mentions of, say, Buñuel and Almodóvar just fine, it's not recognizing others. For example, if someone searches for "Bjork," no mentions of "Björk" will show up (I've made sure to check off umlauts and ligatures). Of course, since the program is not reading other Sweedish/Dutch/Danish accented names (like, say, Jørgensen), I'm assuming the solution lies there somewhere. Any help wo...... - 2009-07-04

The outbreak occurred on a commercial farm 25 km (15 miles) south of Vientiane where about 2,500 chickens died last week, according to state media reports.

Some of us half to kill daily to stay alive then we forget them they were nothing to us. Maybe you should change your genre.yesDeath is a good motivator, someone dying can drive a film about love, war, a horror, mystery. It's just something that deeply effects people so it's easier for an audience to sypathize with the character who lost the loved one since most of us have lost someone ourselves. It's the easiest way to get people to identify with a film, because loss is something we can all relate to.

Thanks, DarkArrowOk I've been sat here for3 hours now and still can't find the damn thing..._alpha is a property of a MovieClip, Graphic, etc. that controls the opacity level.

Hi all! I'm looking for a new lens. :) I would like to upgrade a bit, which means that I want to buy a better quality lens than I have at the moment. I'm using: Canon EOS 400D (http://www.canon.nl/eos400d/) Tamron 55-200mm f/4-5.6 LD Macro Di ll Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6I'm looking for a good macro lens and a good zoom lens.

» Why are so many people who claim to be non-believers attracted to questions in religion and spirituality?
I don't care much about pets. Therefore, I don't ask or answer questions in the pet category. Could it be that atheists, and/or non believers are hungry for the Truth aka Jesus Christ?I've asked this same question before. You get the same tired answers from the same tired atheists. I have to agree with you, they have a longing for Christ and the gospel but don't realize it. They are here on earth to glorify God, although they don't do it. I also think it scares them at times, and they like to come here to get relief from other non-believers who think they can determine what God says in His word, when in truth they have no idea.

» Graphing an inequality. help?
why is it usually only necessary to test one point when graphing an inequality?Testing a point of an inequality tells you which area to shade as a solution if you were to pick two points to test, you would still get the same area to shade. let's say y>2x+1 let's pick two test points on opposite sides of the line (-2,2) 2 > 2(-2)+1 2 > -3 this is true, so we shade towards the test point. in other words, the area to the left of the line gets shaded (1,-1) -1 > 2(1)+1 -1 > 3 this is not true, so we shade away from the test point. in other words, the area to the left of the line gets shaded this is why it's only necessary to test one point! you're are going to obtain the same answer. hope this...... - 2009-07-04

Hi folks. Just bought the program yesterday, and after figuring out that I had to turn off my Norton virus protection to get the software to fully scan, Zoom is now working smashingly! My only problem so far is that it's not reading all my international characters as they appear on the site. We're a movie and music review site, and while the program is picking up mentions of, say, Buñuel and Almodóvar just fine, it's not recognizing others. For example, if someone searches for "Bjork," no mentions of "Björk" will show up (I've made sure to check off umlauts and ligatures). Of course, since the program is not reading other Sweedish/Dutch/Danish accented names (like, say, Jørgensen), I'm assuming the solution lies there somewhere. Any help wo...... - 2009-07-04

Maybe you should change your genre.yesDeath is a good motivator, someone dying can drive a film about love, war, a horror, mystery. It's just something that deeply effects people so it's easier for an audience to sypathize with the character who lost the loved one since most of us have lost someone ourselves.

Or we split the quote and he has half of it on him and i have the other half on me or the other ways around.. -We been together for a year + -We have a baby boy -we met in the summer.. that is a little about us.. Does any one know a nice little poem or quote.. and do you think we should both get the whole thing or do the half half thing..?Aww that is so cute! "I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine." And this old love quote that has it's origin in Hebrew: "He is my friend, he, who dwells among the lillies"I like this but you might want to shorten it up a bit Its actually song ...... - 2009-07-04

» Help me choose a film camera
So..I'm looking for a film camera..pref canon or nikon that is less than $100 (im looking on ebay..used is fine). It needs to be a 35mm SLR and have a decent continous shooting speed (~2.5+ fps)....or if the camera accepts a motor drive that can boost the speed up thanksContinuous shooting for less than $100? Have fun!You can get Nikon N80's on craigslist for $80-$110. they go 3fps. I got one and use it with my 24-120 VR, it's a brilliant combination. It's basically a plastic, little slower F100. just put a posting WTB nikon N80 on there and you'll get a flood of results. also check pawn shops, they're loaded with 35mm cameras.Why on Earth do you want to shoot film that fast? It wouldn't take you long to pay for a DSLR at 3fps.Im doing ...... - 2009-07-04
» Duffer Menswear Preston Lancs rude staff?
We bought some Jeans from Duffer Menswear in Preston and were not told of a no return policy only to discover that on wanting to return an item. The explanation by the extremely rude store assistant at the time of returning to the shop was that it is stated on the receipt after purchase!!! Well HELLO!!. But you get the receipt after purchase...duh! Well they still insist it is on the receipt and that is enough as far as they are concerned. They have no notice in the shop stating a No Return policy and they fail to say that they have a no return policy at the time of purchase. Furthermore, on asking to speak to the manager, who was on the other end of a phone line to the said assistant, the phone was then rudely snatched from our grasp. Th...... - 2009-07-04
» 720p @ 50Hz
Is there any way to set the resolution to 720p @ 50Hz rather than the standard 720p @ 60Hz. Currently, when I play NTSC material, everything looks fine. When I play PAL material (25Hz) I get lots of juddering. If I use Enigma to switch the video mode back to PAL, I can play 576i @ 50HZ with no juddering. So, can I get a BIOS or tweak a setting which will set the output resolution to 720p but the refresh rate to 50Hz? I have a PAL 1.1 Xbox running the latest version of XMBC. I've hard modded it with a Xenium and used Enigma to set the video output to NTSC. In the Xbox dash, I've enabled 720p mode. Xbmc is set to use 720p. I've done a search of this forum, but I couldn't find anything...As far as I know no. As you're already...... - 2009-07-04
» Domain/License Question
I own one license for vbulletin, and use it to power a site for writers. We'd like to set up an ezine in one section of our forums, where the writers can display their work. This ezine would have a slightly different style and a variation of our logo, to differentiate this section from the regular forums. Obviously, all this would be one installation and database, same server, with the same members, etc. We don't want to hide the ezine is part of our main site; we just want to make it more friendly to visitors who come to read the ezine, but have no interest in the mechanics or discussion of the writing profession itself. Here's where it gets sticky: Ideally, I'd like to point a second domain to that ezine subsection. This is mainly f...... - 2009-07-04

Ok on Tuesday this guy in my technology education class... Was making the hand sign to me that he wanted me to come over and talk to him... So I went over there and he said to me 'Whats your number" so I told him that my phone was taken away because that is true. and he said "just give it me" and then I got a note from an office aid like two seconds after this saying i needed to go to the office because my mom was picking me up early... So I told my best friend in that class to ask Eric (thats him) if he liked me. Later that night she told me that she asked him if he liked me and he said "no" super fast...

» Re-opening a misdemeanor Speedy Trial 30.30 motion in Manhattan, NY
My question is specific to misdemanor court in New York City, Manhattan especially, and most especially at 100 Centre Street. I would like case citations (Lexis Nexis would be fine, I can get the full versions with a credit card) and any other pertinent information concerning the re-opening of a 30.30 Speedy Trial motion that has been rejected twice. This would be the third attempt to get a 30.30 Speedy Trial on a misdemanor that requires 90 days total. So far 55 days have been conceded. The situation is as follows. I want citations that would justify a new 30.30 motion that adds additional days because of the following: On the date the trial was set for, the defendant was in court on time with both his parents. ...... - 2009-07-04

» I was momentarily deaf when a cockroach jumped on me?
im talking about a BIG fat cockroach. it must have been on the underside of my desk and it then ended up on my lap. when i saw it, i can't really describe what happened but I was absolutely freaked, and it was like all sound stopped for 2 seconds. I've never experienced a kind of deafness like that. is that normal? is it a bad sign? It was just the first few seconds of seeing the cockroach. I jumped up and flicked it off me, but i just couldn't hear initially. was pretty scary experience and suddenly losing hearing for a second made it worse! yeah its normal, it was just 2 seconds. you ever notice how everything gets cut out from sound when you yawn. its just the air blocking as it rushes out hitting the ear drums. o...... - 2009-07-04
