What is "Rimme' ya such a shmeg 'ed!!" a quote from?"Smeg head" (pronounced "smeg 'ed" by those with a certain variety of British accent) is a term of derision used on the UK science fiction comedy show "Red Dwarf." A major character on the show is a hologram named Arnold Judas Rimmer. Rimmer is considered an insufferable git by a spaceship technician named Lister. Hence, "Rimmer, you're such a smeg head." As for the origins and meaning of "smeg," the word was created by the show's writers: "Red Dwarf is famous for innovating the word 'smeg' in order to remove swearwords from the show and to add to a futuristic terminology. Some examples of the word in context are 'smeg head', 'smeg off', &#...... - 2009-07-04

THANKS15.between 24th and 25th year.15) Your equation will be: Value=10,000(1-.20)^t, where t is the number of years. Because you seek for Value=10: 10=10,000(1-.2)^t=10,000(.8^t) Which means: 1=1,000(.8^t) (1/1000)=(.8^t) Take the natural log of ...... - 2009-07-04

I had stomach cramps on Sunday and a little vomiting. Yesterday I started having diarrhea and I've had it 5 times today during the last few hours. It only occurs when I try to eat, or drink anything. Immodium AD does not help at all. I don't want to rush to the doctor because I have no fever. Is there anything else I can try?immodium is the best in my opinion, so if its not working it's gotta be something more serious. waiting a couple days is a good idea because it should run its course. it seems like a viral infection for sure. what you need to do is drink lots of fluids and eat light things like toast, and soup.. if it doesn't go away in 2 or 3 more days go get it checked out. feel better!Call the doctors office...... - 2009-07-04

» What do u think of heidi newfield?
just wonderinIt's a mixed bag... I think she was more in her element when she was with Trick Pony... She still seems a bit inconsistent and shaky as a solo artist. But her voice is unique and her song choices are carefully made to show off her strengths and reach a younger audience which works in her favor. Wait till the next album if you want to really judge her. ~WC~I like her, I've seen her in concert and she put on a good show. However, it seemed more people were into the trick pony songs she sang then just her own. I do like Johnny & June though, and she has a song called knocked up that is good. She Rocks!!

» Should we rename the British Empire to Factorytown?
It's a sound ideaYou know what...You could be one to something. Factorytown sounds so much less oppressive and colonialist than British Empire. Rather, I think we should commend the British for being the only empire in history to gracefully decline and still have a country to speak of. Empires are an obsolete form of government, and most of them have long ago either been overthrown or collapsed under their own weight.Why? They are a combined government that has survived it all, and thanks to the USA who continues to bail them out and help them in all their dilemas, and that they are never grateful enough! However they are not yet a bunch of machines, they still rate the dignity. Long live the Queen!...... - 2009-07-04

What amount of jewelry was purchased for the last 3 years by Hispanics living in the US and in Latin America broken down by country both on-line and retail?Dear JM Castle, I have noted that your question hasn't been answered yet. There are several problems that might contribute to that. It could be, that the reason is lack of definition what is "hispanics": - People from Hispaniola, that is of Puerto-Riccan ancestry in the United States (the official definition)? - Any people of "Latin" heritage in the United States (also Mexican, Peruvian, Chilean, etc.)? - People who define themsleves as "Hispanics"? This requires that there had been a survey asking people for ethnicity when buying jewelry. Adding Latin America adds much mor...... - 2009-07-04

» Why don't more police officers use lasers on their guns? i would think that would be really helpful?
Lasers can be very helpful in some circumstances. But if you use them enough, you get dependent on them. If you are used to using a laser to help you aim, and there is a malfunction in combat, you will probably die. LOL! Cops aren't hunting, or doing assassination for hire. They're trained in using the gun to protect themselves, pointing it in the air until it's necessary. When a cop needs to use his gun, he doesn't have time to aim carefully. Besides, you could temporarily blind someone with one of those things. 8^)My agency allows it. However, they can turn into a crutch and Officers can grow to depend on them to much.

» Problem with components and focus
Hi everyone, I have a problem with Flash 8. Whenever I have a component either on stage, or in the library, there is a problem with the focus. For example, I have a text field on the stage. If you click the text field, focus is set to it. And when you click anywhere outside the text field, it should lose focus. But this doesn't happen when the component is there. This causes a big problem if you use onKillFocus on the text field. Now of course, there's no problem when the component is gone from the stage and library. To test this out, make a new movie with a text field. Create an onEnterFrame function to trace Selection.getFocus(). When you click on the text field you'll see that it traces out the instance name of the text field. And when ...... - 2009-07-04

» Looking into a Sigma 200mm
So I got the chance to play with my professor's 70-200mm f/2.8 EX macro lens today, and have to admit I'm in love. I have been looking and researching for a long while now into a long telephoto of some variety, and was curious about getting your thoughts on this idea. My thought was to start with this lens. The lens as it is is a quite useful length, and the LL capacity of f2.8 would certainly be a nice thing to have trying to photograph moths at night(which is one of my new favorite things to do I have to admit). The problem with this lens is, it's shorter than what I wanted (I was looking for ~400mm). However, with a good quality 2X tele-converter, I'll have the zoom I wanted, and keep it at about F5.6.

» VBulletin and Web Hosting Requirements
I'm currently looking at buying VBulletin but have some questions regarding the web hosting requirements. I'm looking at getting a dedicated server at www.rackspace.com which would be a 650 AMD processor with 512mb of ram. I did a search on here and noticed that some people that had hosted with rackspace.com said they had some problems with VBulletin. My question is 512 mb of ram enough? Is it ok to host VBulletin on an AMD processor? I believe that the Pentium III or above processor is supposed to be better for mySQL but on a windows server. Does anyone know if that applies on a linux server as well? The people at Rackspace said they werent familiar with VBulletin so they couldn't offer me any help other than saying that...... - 2009-07-04

» What are the most peaceful african cichlids and what types get along with each other?
I agree that "peaceful" is a relative term in the African cichlid world. None are really non-aggressive. Probably the most gentle would be the Electric yellow Labs (Labidochromis caeruleus ), Rusty Cichlids (Iodotropheus sprengerae), or Aceis (Pseudotropheus sp.). All 3 normally get along well with each other, but you will still need to adjust the number of fish based on male to female ratio (you want more females than males) and tank size. This isn't exactly the kind of thing you can answer directly really. Peaceful is a very relative term when it comes to Africans. More peaceful then others is probably better put. Labidochromis Careleus is probably the most peaceful I've seen or kept personally, but there are 1000's o...... - 2009-07-04

» Issues with .php4 files and templates
We've been using Zoom Search 4.2 Professional Edition for sometime now, and its been working fine mostly. However, there are a few issues that we've come up against. 1) It appears you can't have a different 'search.php' file for each Configuration. Some of our clients web servers use the .php extension for PHP files. Some use the .php4 extension. This means we have to change the $SETTINGSFILE variable manually when switching between servers before indexing. 2) The $TemplateFilename variable in the 'settings.php' file can't be changed from within the Zoom program. Although it says we shouldn't edit the 'settings.php' file, we need to - because our clients server expects .php4 files, not .php. Also, our search results page has other PHP ...... - 2009-07-04

I have had my jointer in use for several months now. No doubt that it is the best value in it's price range. Dead on out of the box. Fence was simple and quick to attach and adjust. Attaching the unit to the stand takes a little doing though, as on of the bolts must be passed up into the dust chute area. Tad tight! Adjusting the belt is best done by using good old gravity.

Lasers can be very helpful in some circumstances. But if you use them enough, you get dependent on them. If you are used to using a laser to help you aim, and there is a malfunction in combat, you will probably die. LOL! Cops aren't hunting, or doing assassination for hire. They're trained in using the gun to protect themselves, pointing it in the air until it's necessary. When a cop needs to use his gun, he doesn't have time to aim carefully.

» Problem with components and focus
Hi everyone, I have a problem with Flash 8. Whenever I have a component either on stage, or in the library, there is a problem with the focus. For example, I have a text field on the stage. If you click the text field, focus is set to it. And when you click anywhere outside the text field, it should lose focus. But this doesn't happen when the component is there. This causes a big problem if you use onKillFocus on the text field. Now of course, there's no problem when the component is gone from the stage and library. To test this out, make a new movie with a text field. Create an onEnterFrame function to trace Selection.getFocus(). When you click on the text field you'll see that it traces out the instance name of the text field. And when ...... - 2009-07-04

I went to a special needs college and leaned how to be independent. Now i'm in a main stream college with lots of friends and I have a boyfriend too. My suggestion is to just be yourself and if people treat you different because of your disability then there not really friend material are they.

PEOPLE BEFORE THESE IMAMS ALSO FOLLOWED IMAMS! We need to understand who can be Imam... Imam is such person who have full understand of Quran and Hadith. Thus All Sahabas were Imams and Mujtahid.

» Looking into a Sigma 200mm
So I got the chance to play with my professor's 70-200mm f/2.8 EX macro lens today, and have to admit I'm in love. I have been looking and researching for a long while now into a long telephoto of some variety, and was curious about getting your thoughts on this idea. My thought was to start with this lens. The lens as it is is a quite useful length, and the LL capacity of f2.8 would certainly be a nice thing to have trying to photograph moths at night(which is one of my new favorite things to do I have to admit). The problem with this lens is, it's shorter than what I wanted (I was looking for ~400mm). However, with a good quality 2X tele-converter, I'll have the zoom I wanted, and keep it at about F5.6. I realize sigma has a nice 80-4...... - 2009-07-04

» What are the most peaceful african cichlids and what types get along with each other?
I agree that "peaceful" is a relative term in the African cichlid world. None are really non-aggressive. Probably the most gentle would be the Electric yellow Labs (Labidochromis caeruleus ), Rusty Cichlids (Iodotropheus sprengerae), or Aceis (Pseudotropheus sp.). All 3 normally get along well with each other, but you will still need to adjust the number of fish based on male to female ratio (you want more females than males) and tank size. This isn't exactly the kind of thing you can answer directly really. Peaceful is a very relative term when it comes to Africans. More peaceful then others is probably better put. Labidochromis Careleus is probably the most peaceful I've seen or kept personally, but there are 1000's o...... - 2009-07-04

» Issues with .php4 files and templates
We've been using Zoom Search 4.2 Professional Edition for sometime now, and its been working fine mostly. However, there are a few issues that we've come up against. 1) It appears you can't have a different 'search.php' file for each Configuration. Some of our clients web servers use the .php extension for PHP files. Some use the .php4 extension. This means we have to change the $SETTINGSFILE variable manually when switching between servers before indexing. 2) The $TemplateFilename variable in the 'settings.php' file can't be changed from within the Zoom program. Although it says we shouldn't edit the 'settings.php' file, we need to - because our clients server expects .php4 files, not .php. Also, our search results page has other PHP ...... - 2009-07-04

I have had my jointer in use for several months now. No doubt that it is the best value in it's price range. Dead on out of the box. Fence was simple and quick to attach and adjust. Attaching the unit to the stand takes a little doing though, as on of the bolts must be passed up into the dust chute area. Tad tight! Adjusting the belt is best done by using good old gravity. Just leave the bolts loose, and when you turn the unit upright it will tighten by itself. So far I have run Pine, Cherry, Walnut, Red Oak and White Oak into it and it does not miss a beat.
