Open Question: Wrong colors on the LG E2050T monitor?

Hi, if anyone knows this monitor or have a similar from the E50 LED LG series, please can you tell me if the blue color is really blue in your monitor? Most blue tones here on my E2050T are purple or almost purple. That's pretty annoying. Especially because I don't know if that is the regular monitor behavior. For example, the Google logo blue letters and the usual text from the search results all look purple. Is that right for this monitor or did I got a dud? What about the shocking vibrant colors they advertise? Or should I be shocked because the colors look really wrong on this one? Thanks for any help. more

Open Question: A stupid R&P challenge: Use the song that you're currently listening to in an ad to sell a product?

This is my new idea (and you can't steal it, or I'll get my Mum on to you). It's pretty much giving you all a pointless music related challenge purely for the purposes of fulfillment, humour and exercise of unused braincells. Okay, you're an advertising agent, and you need to make an ad to sell something, the catch is the only song you have access to, is the one you're currently listening to. So what product (be it a real life brand, or something you've just come up with that will make you millions) would you use to sell your product? An example for those who still don't get it: At the moment I am listing to "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?" by Dusty Springfield, which I would use to advertise a divorce lawyer... MQ: Favourite song about breaking up/divorce? MQ2: Favourite old school Diva singer? MQ3: Favourite Dusty Springfield song?Mark: You had a perfect grasp of the question... more

Voting Question: Wordpress design capabilities - is this design possible?

I'm toying with the idea of creating an affiliate marketing website/blog using wordpress. I really like some of the magazine style themes, especially the MagPress theme. What I would like to know is whether or not it is possible to create half static/half blog pages within Wordpress? I know you can do both individually, but can you do both on the same page. I'll give an example of what I am looking for. I want a homepage in which the top half is "static" in that it never changes, while about midway down its sectioned off into different categories of blog posts showing new posts and featured posts. I would also like a menu bar that had about 5-7 different items (5-7 different products) and on each one of those pages have the same half static/half blog aspect as well. That way I could advertise the product at the top, then below use some type of autoblogging plugin that constantly changes the posts with new posts about the individual products, mainly so visitors can get different reviews of the products. Is this possible? more

Voting Question: Could you correct my English?

There are many different types of music　in the world today. Why do you need music ? Is the traditional music of a country more important than the International music that is heard everywhere nowadays? You should write at least 250 words. Use your own ideas, knowledge and experience and support your arguments with examples and relevant evidence. There are so many different types of music like country music, folk Music, rock 、opera and so on.. Some music are disappearing despite being famous and well worth inheriting next generations. Traditional music admittedly has problems. Not only young people but also old ones consider them to be too boring or unattractive to listen and out of date. They are not frequently as advertised as pop-music and Rock on the market as well . As s result, the tickets of posh opera concerts charge audiences a lot. It makes young people who cannot afford not go to opera concerts quite often. Some traditional music have become a kind of social status. In my country which is Japan, traditional music are organized by the certain people who take over by succession. Only their descendants are allowed to play the specific ones , others like me have not paid any attentions since they were children at all. , On the other hand, Japanese have been preferring Western cultures to our own culture for sixty years. Personally, contemporary music seem to have more feelings ,sympathies and empathies to me, if they are my cup of tea.. The problem with modern music is that they have become industrial and do not have enough music spirituals, which make listeners moved or excited. Personally, it is essential to any kinds of music. I think traditional music are still important and should be distinguished　from commercial　markets to be maintained in the further future . The most obvious　reason is they remind me of our roots. Nowadays, Japanese are too westernized and have been losing the nationality. Keeping traditional music as well as sports, literatures and poetries is so benefit that we can ensure the identity and introduce the cultures to foreigners who are interested in them. We still have been able to be moved by these things. In conclusion, traditional music are as important as International music. more

Resolved Question: Do you guys hate it when a commercial/program uses a model and she has nothing to do with it?

Its really annoying. Like for example, a commercial could be selling a product for lawnmowers and they show a girl in a bikini with big breasts using it and she walks sort of slutty. Another example, a company advertising a burger and the model is dressed skanky and she's licking the grease off of her skin and so on. I seriously hate this, its so annoying. Not only does this make women look bad and turn them into sex objects, but a lot of men find this annoying because it is over done and the men feel like they are cattle and the women are bait for the product. I cant explain how much I hate commercials and TV programs that do this. Some of this has followed me to the internet as I've stopped watching TV. more

Resolved Question: Truth in Dog Food Advertising....or not?

Ever notice how when a dog food brand sets up a "compare your dog food to ours" "challenge" on their websites ... the only choices are inferior foods that aren't even the brands' peers? I just noticed the Blue Buff challenge. For a brand that positions itself as a premium dog food -they're comparing themselves only against the Benefuls and Bill-Jacs of the world, not against a single one of their peers/competitors. Most disingenuous of all is that they include two Nutro lines - but not Nutro's Ultra line - which would compare favorably to Blue. I have nuthin against Blue's food - they're just one example of marketing that tries to play you for a fool. Iams does it too. LEGIT: what dog food marketing hype bugs you?Aphro - it is amusing watching you trip over yourself trying to refute my posts, to the point of taking nonsensical positions. Keep up the good work.Ava - good insight, about Blue Buff using their 'challenge' tool to get the users of the targeted foods to upgrade. They're not about picking a fair fight ... but in marketing that's not the point. I think you're right - they're looking to steal market share, and since they can't steal it from the Orijens, Wellness of the world on quality OR price - where else do you look? It still irks me: "take the challenge" ... is it really a challenge? Or is it a stacked game? more

Resolved Question: Should schools teach about the perils of trusting professionals?

For example, I learned through experience that: - Your financial adviser may receive greater compensation if you choose one investment over another. High risk means high profits for them. - Loan companies are by law required to optimize profits. These companies target less educated populations who are easy to sell. We used to call this usury, but that word seems to be missing from our vocabulary. - A doctor may either do surgery himself or herself rather than refer to a more competent specialist. (Surgeon's Dilemma) - Your congressional representative may face huge opposition and dwindling donations in the next race if he or she opposes a bail out of the banks. (conflict of interest) - Your car salesman may suggest that one car is better than another based upon his bonus plan. - Your local media executive may decide to block reporting of cancer effects of aspartame (artificial sweetener) and dairy based upon likely law suits and withdrawal of advertising dollars from his stations. Monsanto is notorious for attacking any media that challenges their efforts. Can you start teaching these concepts? more

We all know people here on Yahoo could be more involved with making a better, more fun virtual community, and if you join, you will have alot of fun putting together the projects.Here is how it works.... I, the head of the committee, will email everyone in the group about what project we are putting together for the week. We have a long list of projects, everything from fun polls and surveys to Yahoo Avatar fashion shows. After I announce the project, we will work simply via email and sometimes SMS chat to put the projects together, for example, if the project is an Avatar fashion show, we will each design our own avatar's oufits, post the update, and then we are done. Then, on Fridays, we hold the event, and its completly open to the Yahoo public. We get weekends off, and then I will email everyone again on Monday. Sounds like fun, huh! Something we do thats even more fun, an open SMS chat after the event! People who attend the event will be invited to join in our SMS chat to comment on the project.

We don't really have any tech projects.....this is kinda a chick thingNo it doesn't pay, its more like a volunteer thing. more

Resolved Question: Politically, is FTC regulation of false advertising an illegitimate use of State coercion?

As most people here probably know, the Federal Trade Commission regulates certain kinds of advertising in the United States, and is charged with enforcing rules against deceptive statements in advertising, as well as some other abusive kinds of advertising. For example, there is an FTC rule against "bait" advertising -- as in "bait and switch" - advertising that a company uses to lure customers into a store or a web site in search of some item that the advertiser doesn't really plan to sell. In "bait" advertising, a company only uses the promise of having a particular item as "bait" to attract people who then will be presented with a pitch for other stuff -- for example, other consumer goods offered at much higher prices. From a "free market," "laissez-faire" standpoint, do you think that it's wrong for the FTC to impose rules on the advertising business in this way? Or is it okay? If you're a pure libertarian believer in free-market forces, for example, should the Federal Government just butt out of the advertising world completely, and allow advertisers to say whatever they want? Or not? more

Resolved Question: Would a law that sets tax rates based on amounts of spam work (see details)?

I have an idea for a law that would require online sellers to collect/pay tax, even when selling to customers in other states, but at a rate that is determined by how much spam there is advertising the business. For example, the law could be that for every 10,000 pieces of spam that advertise a website, there is an additional 1% tax on its sales or income. This would bring in money to the government without affected business that do not use spam. As an added benefit, (a) if the company had to pay the tax, it would send less spam, to keep down its tax cost, and (b) if the customers paid the tax, then they would avoid buying from the websites that were forced to charge high sales tax rates, so sending spam would result in fewer customers, not more, and websites would stop. Because this would official be a tax on the transaction between the customer and the website, not a fine or even a tax on the spam, it would not be necessary to prove that the company was responsible for the spam. The tax would simply be a tax on income/sales of any website that was advertised through spam, whether sent by e-mail or posted on Yahoo! Answers.It seems appropriate that the first answer to this question is spam that would subject a company to this tax. An example of a company to which this tax would apply is the company to which http://infobusiness.notlong.com/7AAWKxW links. Morton, thank you for providing an example of the type of spam that this tax measure is intended to fight. Please do not click "report abuse" on Morton's answer. I do not want it deleted, because I am using it to illustrate a point.Disregard the previous "additional details", such as the link to a notlong.com site. They refer to an answer that has been deleted. more

Resolved Question: What do you think of Feelings” about crime numbers?

“Feelings” about crime numbers El Universal (Mexico City) 6/21/10 [Editorial from El Universal:] The federal government has said on various occasions that the thousands of executions recorded every year in the country are mostly the product of fights among organized crime killers. How can they be so sure? In reality, they aren’t. They have investigated less than 5% of the assassinations occurring during this administration. To date, it is not known which of the executed victims may have really been innocent civilians sent to oblivion with the recurrent phrase: “it was a settling of accounts.” For all the money allotted to TV advertising and other displays, no government policy will gain highly sought popular support if there is no coherence. Even President Calderon has mentioned numbers about this issue without any documented reference. From February 2009 to date he has said that more than 90% of the homicides and executions related to organized crime belong to mafia members. He repeated this assertion just last April. The problem is that something as important as the re-named “struggle for security” ought not to be carried out under subjective criteria and personal perceptions. The cost in lives during an armed struggle increases when light diagnostics are carried out. It’s understood that the PGR (Department of Justice equiv.) may not have the capacity to thoroughly investigate the 22 thousand deaths associated with organized crime during this administration. One must assume, therefore, that the rest of the one thousand 200 previous investigations – more than 20 thousand – are in the hands of the state attorneys’ offices. Unfortunately, the situation in those agencies is the same or worse than in the PGR, not only because they refuse to get involved in crimes which – they say to justify themselves – are under federal jurisdiction, but because they lack the capacity for a serious, methodical and scientific investigation. Faced with that deficit, the first thing the federal government should be doing is to set the example. In order to obtain the backing of public opinion on this issue, and to have society see how necessary the “struggle for security” is, the federal government must begin with coherence. Instead of trying to convince people that the dead are insignificant because they’re hired killers, the President could show that at least matters of public relevance are really investigated in an objective fashion. The cases of the Tec students (making reference to a number of Monterrey Tech Institute students killed in a crossfire) and the murdered children – according to indications – at a military checkpoint in Tamaulipas were a perfect opportunity to show this coherence. By continuing to explain beforehand every execution as a “settling of accounts” among criminals a mantle of impunity is given to the aggressors and the credibility of the necessary fight against insecurity is eroded. —— Crimes go unreported Of the 12 million crimes committed annually in Mexico, only 1.5 million are reported due to the distrust of the judicial system, according to the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH). The lack of confidence is based on failure of the judges to give jail sentences, evidenced by the fact that the number of inmates in the prison system has not increased in the past five years. more

Resolved Question: How do I get CRB checked?

I am a part time free lance photographer and have done some shoots at my daughters primary school in the past for the school. They have never asked for me to prove that I have been CRB checked - I guess as I was helping out on the PTA and was accompanied by a teacher at all times! Anyway I am thinking of advertising my services to other local schools and would like to know how, and if I need, to get CRB checked. Some time ago I looked into getting staff CRB checked for my full time job and I seem to recall that the only way to do it is to have a request made by an educational establishment. I also recall that the qualification is not transferable from one employer to another and as such all new staff (who come in contact with children) need to be re-checked regardless of when they were last checked... so how does this work if you are, as example, a self-employed photographer? I cant imagine every school would make independent checks. Also does anyone know what the costs are for CRB checking? Any advice gratefully received. more

Resolved Question: How does Sobe lifewater have 0 calories?

Sobe lifewater - black and blue berry for example. Per their website (http://pepsiproductfacts.com/infobyproduct.php) Serving of 8oz has 0 calories and 6g carbs Serving of 20oz has 5 calories and 15g carbs According to normal calculations there are 4 calories per 1g of carbohydrate. This is scientific fact. So it should be 24 calories (8oz) and 60 calories (20oz) 1+1+3? Fuzzy math which I feel is false advertising unless this is explained to me, especially the 20oz calulation as I know the USDA allows manufacturers adjust when under certain limits but this seems extreme. Lifewater is doing the same with their LifeWater zero products.the actual label states Dietary Fiber 0g more

Resolved Question: Is there any freeware to block URL's (sites/ads) with wildcards, system wide?

For Windows XP. So, not only filter for Firefox, but also for Opera, Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome, etc. Wildcards are not allowed in the hosts list. I know there are some solutions provided which require to use a DNS of a third party. But, i don't trust those 3rd parties - every URL i use, is send to such DNS-server. So, the ad-filter software must be local. For example: www.hostsfile.org offers a hosts file with this included in it's blocklist: 127.0.0.1m.de.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1m.fr.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1m.uk.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1m1.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1m1.au.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1m1.emea.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1m3.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1rmcdn.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1rmcdn.f.2mdn.net 127.0.0.1s0.2mdn.net So, what i want is to be able to block *.2mdn.net. I also want to be able to block *.ads*.*; *.*advertising*.*; etc. Preferably also use of ? as wildcard, would be nice. All filtering MUST be system wide. So: my question is NOT to get plugins for specific browsers. It must be system wide. more

Resolved Question: why does tna keep shoving this crap down are throats?

1 They bring in hogan and bischoff, the rating and ppv buyrates are down. #2 They keep rehashing storylines from the 90's that nobody cares about anymore because it is 2010 now. #3 There writing and booking is horrible. For example the Sting vs. Jarrett feud, Hogan making Abyss a hulkamaniac with the power of the WWE hall of fame ring that your advertising for the WWE on TNA programing how stupid is that, Flair turning A.J. into natch Jr. and creating a 4 horseman knockoff group called Fortune you might well call them the 4 horses asses. I can go on forever but you guys get my drift. I can list more things but I will just end it like this, with direction the company is going I am afraid they will be going out business by atleast spring of 2011 if not sooner maybe next year. TNA can have all the free ppv's on Spike T.V. they want but if nobody cares about what there trying to do then the ship will be sinking fast. TNA needs to stop pushing things from the past and start looking to the future like the next 10 years down the road. Please tell me your opinions. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: Are retail store return policies legally binding, esp. in Canada?

Hello, I've recently got in a debate about store policies in respect to returning purchased merchandise. I can understand that a store would have to take back something that isn't as up to par as advertised (spoiled milk, for example), but the situation I'm wondering about is if a child/teenager used his parent's money/card to purchase something expensive (eg, $200.00 shoes), could the mother come back in a fit demanding that she got the money back? Even then, what if the child used money given to them as a gift, but the parent wants to set a good example that they can't blow their money on such a thing... could the mother come in and demand they give their kid back the money - despite the return policy saying that they don't do refunds? mind you, this is if the shoes are not tried on... still in the box. thanks :) more
