Resolved Question: Do some supporters of illegal aliens think twisting the truth helps their argument?

Earlier, I asked why some supporters of illegal aliens claim illegal aliens don't receive free medical care, when they do. I supplied a link to support my information from a story printed in the New York Times. To my utter amazement, someone actually claimed the Times is a Conservative newspaper! Whaaaatttt???? So, are the Rasmussen Reports also Conservative biased? Rasmussen poll: 25% of libs see liberal bias/ only 17% conservative bias (in the New York Times) http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geu15t1HtMEa… "Start with the editorial page, so thoroughly saturated in liberal theology that when it occasionally strays from that point of view the shocked yelps from the left overwhelm even the ceaseless rumble of disapproval from the right." This is a quote from the New York Times. (http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0oG77VFOXxM1AQBSJ9XNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEzNnJrazZxBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMwRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkA0Y2NTRfMTMy/SIG=13a8m1du3/EXP=1283295941/**http%3a//www.nytimes.com/2004/07/25/weekinreview/25bott.html%3fpagewanted=all%26position) Then, they love to argue that crime in the border cities are lower than other cities, adding that illegals engage in less crime than citizens. Here's a link from an ABC News interview that suggests the crime is lower in those cities because the illegals don't stay in the border cities, they move across the country: “One reason is that illegals aren’t staying here anymore,” said Valley resident Joann Budziszewski. “They are moving to other parts of the country. They come through and they leave.” http://rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0geuw4p.ntMlxwBq6BXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTByMTNuNTZzBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDMgRjb2xvA2FjMgR2dGlkAw--/SIG=13o7oitf1/EXP=1283279785/**http%3a//www.abc15.com/dpp/news/state/fbi-report-on-crime-in-border-states-shows-surprising-statistics No, don't tell me- ABC News also is biased toward Conservatives! Yeah, they provide their links, too; but somehow, their links are always to some liberal or pro-illegal alien site. Yet, if someone who opposes illegal immigration provide links from liberal sources, watch them denounce those sources as unreliable. Unbelievable! So, are the supporters of illegal immigration delusional, or do they only believe facts when it suits their cause? more

Resolved Question: Why did my 2003 server disappeared from my workgroup?

I recently installed windows server 2003 R2 on a computer. Using the add server role wizard I was able to install a print server and a Active Directory Server. During the AD installation process it did complain that my ip wasn't static, but I ignored. When everything was done, I was able to connect to the printer via my network places or by searching. I soon then stared sharing file which were drive roots so I could access a SD card from a computer with no SD slot. I could see the server in Windows Explorer and brows the SD card Then I installed Windows Streaming Media Services. I left it on there since I didn't need it. After that I installed Terminal Services with really screwed with the server. I had no internet access and I couldn't see it on the network! I removed TS and got internet access back. But now I can't see my server on the workgroup! If i go on the server and check my network places, I can't even see it there! However I can though ping it and I get this: (fake ip address btw) Pinging 1.1.1.1 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 1.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=3ms TTL=128 Reply from 1.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Reply from 1.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Reply from 1.1.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=128 Ping statistics for 1.1.1.1: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 3ms, Average = 1ms So I can access it by pinging it but I can't see it ANYWHERE I checked my other PC and I am in the same work group.

Resolved Question: Need Python Programming Help?

The program is a Battle Bot program. I'm having trouble getting my turn counter and opponent's health (AIhealth) to actually work. The values are staying the same when they are supposed to change. Can someone possibly give me a hand in resolving this issue? Ran program: -------------------- Turn: 1.0 Opponent's Health: 5.0 Your Health: 5 Ammo: 5 Fuel: 200.0 1 - Fire Weapon 2 - Move Forward 3 - Move Backward 4 - Exit Enter your choice: 1 How far is the opponent Battle Bot?30 Opponent was partially disabled -------------------- Turn: 1.0 Opponent's Health: 5.0 Your Health: 5 Ammo: 4 Fuel: 200.0 1 - Fire Weapon 2 - Move Forward 3 - Move Backward 4 - Exit Enter your choice: 4 Goodbye >>> As you can see the opponent health and turn counter stays the same instead of changing to their new value.

Voting Question: can anyone help w/ fixing my grammar? im a international student...?

Please help... im a international student. Hewlett-Packard Company is known as world’s largest maker of personal computers and also one of the world's largest information technology companies operates in nearly every country. William R. Hewlett and David Packard found this company in 1939. HP’s Major product lines include personal computing devices, enterprise servers, related storage devices, as well as a diverse range of printers and other imaging products. They are targeting in variety of fields; households, small to medium sized businesses and as well as online distribution, consumer-electronics and office-supply retailers, software partners and major technology vendors. As a world’s largest information technology company, there are still few problems that company is facing. Few of the problems that HP is facing are drop in sales, decline in imaging and printing group avenue, and decline in software revenue. One of the major problem that HP is facing is that drop in sales. HP saw its sales dropped 19 percent to $8.19 billion: PCs, Printers, Servers, and Software. There are some possible reasons why the sale has declined due to possible economic crisis, quality of products, trend of new technologies, and other competitors in the market. By looking at an evidence of constant drops of HP’s sales, there are some possibilities that HP’s sales wouldn’t improve in anytime soon. At this point, serious action must be taken to solve this problem. There are many ways to solve the issues starting from switching the locations/territories, and plan a better advertisement/marketing strategy. But my recommendation to this solution is to improve products and sales by managing the relationship between development and sales team, and catch up with the new trend of the technologies and hit the market with the new product that has same benefit, much more convenient, and more affective compared to PC products. To support my thought of recommendation, besides looking at the formal graph of statistics, we can easily find the mobile phone that has same function as computer. According to Forrester Researcher Report, they have researched and has clearly announced with their back up evidence that PC sales will continue to decline, much as they have for the past several years. Just by planning or making a first step into this industry will have a huge impact of HP’s future. more

Resolved Question: Your opinion on The Truth About Illegal Aliens With FBI Stats!?

FBI STATS With all the negative reports being printed in the news media here are the statistics they fail to report. •83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens. •86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens. •75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles , Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens •24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals •40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals •48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals •29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and Federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually •53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens. •50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens •71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or ”transport coyotes”. •47% of cited/stopped drivers in California have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 47%, 92% are illegal aliens. •63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 63%, 97% are illegal aliens •66% of cited/stopped drivers in New Mexico have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 66% 98% are illegal aliens. •380,000 plus “anchor babies” were born in the US to illegal alien parents in just one year, making 380,000 babies automatically US citizens (which is UN-Constitutional; illegal). •97.2% of all costs incurred from those illegal births were paid by the American taxpayers. And remember YOU are supporting ALL of these illegals no matter where they are now. Every time another illegal runs the border breaking our laws, your pocket just gets lighter and robbed more. AND, they all are potential voters for the “progressives” — I’d guess that’s why the politicians are sitting on their fingers doing nothing to secure the border!! http://beforeitsnews.com/story/109/538/Get_The_Truth_About_Illegal_Aliens_With_Fbi_Stats.html more

Resolved Question: Why are people believing that Obama is not a US citizen? The grandmother thing was bullsh*t.?

The Associated Press quoted Chiyome Fukino as saying that both she and the registrar of vital statistics, Alvin Onaka, have personally verified that the health department holds Obama's original birth certificate. Fukino also was quoted by several other news organizations. The Honolulu Advertiser quoted Fukino as saying the agency had been bombarded by requests, and that the registrar of statistics had even been called in at home in the middle of the night. Honolulu Advertiser, Nov. 1 2008: "This has gotten ridiculous," state health director Dr. Chiyome Fukino said yesterday. "There are plenty of other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy." . . . Will this be enough to quiet the doubters? "I hope so," Fukino said. "We need to get some work done." Fukino said she has “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen. Obama’s original birth certificate on record in accordance with state policies and procedures." Since we first wrote about Obama's birth certificate on June 16, speculation on his citizenship has continued apace. Some claim that Obama posted a fake birth certificate to his Web page. That charge leaped from the blogosphere to the mainstream media earlier this week when Jerome Corsi, author of a book attacking Obama, repeated the claim in an Aug. 15 interview with Steve Doocy on Fox News. Corsi: Well, what would be really helpful is if Senator Obama would release primary documents like his birth certificate. The campaign has a false, fake birth certificate posted on their website. How is anybody supposed to really piece together his life? Doocy: What do you mean they have a "false birth certificate" on their Web site? Corsi: The original birth certificate of Obama has never been released, and the campaign refuses to release it. Doocy: Well, couldn't it just be a State of Hawaii-produced duplicate? Corsi: No, it's a -- there's been good analysis of it on the Internet, and it's been shown to have watermarks from Photoshop. It's a fake document that's on the Web site right now, and the original birth certificate the campaign refuses to produce. Corsi isn't the only skeptic claiming that the document is a forgery. Among the most frequent objections we saw on forums, blogs and e-mails are: * The birth certificate doesn't have a raised seal. * It isn't signed. * No creases from folding are evident in the scanned version. * In the zoomed-in view, there's a strange halo around the letters. * The certificate number is blacked out. * The date bleeding through from the back seems to say "2007," but the document wasn't released until 2008. * The document is a "certification of birth," not a "certificate of birth." But here are the images of it: http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_3.jpg http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_9.jpg http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_1.jpg http://www.factcheck.org/UploadedFiles/birth_certificate_5.jpg The certificate has all the elements the State Department requires for proving citizenship to obtain a U.S. passport: "your full name, the full name of your parent(s), date and place of birth, sex, date the birth record was filed, and the seal or other certification of the official custodian of such records." The names, date and place of birth, and filing date are all evident on the scanned version, and you can see the seal above. The document is a "certification of birth," also known as a short-form birth certificate. The long form is drawn up by the hospital and includes additional information such as birth weight and parents' hometowns. The short form is printed by the state and draws from a database with fewer details. The Hawaii Department of Health's birth record request form does not give the option to request a photocopy of your long-form birth certificate, but their short form has enough information to be acceptable to the State Department. We tried to ask the Hawaii DOH why they only offer the short form, among other questions, but they have not given a response. The scan released by the campaign shows halos around the black text, making it look (to some) as though the text might have been pasted on top of an image of security paper. But the document itself has no such halos, nor do the close-up photos we took of it. We conclude that the halo seen in the image produced by the campaign is a digital artifact from the scanning process. The certificate is stamped June 2007, because that's when Hawaii officials produced it for the campaign, which requested that document and "all the records we could get our hands on" according to spokesperson Shauna Daly. The campaign didn&# more

Resolved Question: L!berals: Don't you guys want another recession, to justify wasting MORE tax payer money with another Stimulus?

Even Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman is worried about a double-dip recession. Recently, in a New York Times Op-Ed column, Krugman said, “…it will be important to remember, first of all, that blips — occasional good numbers, signifying nothing — are common even when the economy is, in fact, mired in a prolonged slump.” Krugman thinks there is a “30 to 40 percent” chance of a double-dip recession. The Nobel Prize winner also thinks the economy will run out of gas by the middle of 2010 and, if that happens, he will surely want more spending or stimulus. To me, that really means more money printing to continue the bailout for the rich. Krugman is not alone in his fear of a double-dip recession. Economist John Williams of Shadow Government Statistics is also talking about a double-dip in a recent commentary. Unlike Krugman, Williams says, another nasty downturn is practically unavoidable. In essence, his analysis is showing a nose dive in what he calls the “real money supply.” A contracting money supply almost always precedes economic downturns. Williams, like Krugman, also thinks that the double-dip will be “obvious by mid 2010.” Williams paints a much direr picture of the coming economy than Krugman. He says that the “tumbling real money supply promises an intensified depression.” more

Voting Question: Baruch college and Stony brook university for becoming an actuary?

So i want to become an actuary. Im a junior in highschool and its june. so im pretty much a "senior". i never get good grades in math. I can do algebra and geometry but then trigonometry is my biggest downfall. My grades through out 3 years of math have been in the upper 70's in regents classes. I am not in any AP or honors classes for my math classes. I'm not taking AP calc or Statistics in my senior year because my guidance counselor thinks i wouldnt be able to do the work -.- I know i want to become an actuary and these 2 schools are in my sights. Since im not taking any calculus or statistics in high school (as of now) what courses do i take at Baruch College as an Actuarial Science Major? there is a list on their website for courses to take along with the major but i dont know what is what here it is "Track I: credits MTH 2610 Calculus I 4 credits MTH 3010 Calculus II 4 credits MTH 3020 Intermediate Calculus 4 credits or Track II: MTH 2630 Analytic Geometry and Calculus I 5 credits MTH 3030 Analytic Geometry and Calculus II 5 credits or Track III: MTH 2205 Applied Calculus 3 credits or MTH 2207 Applied Calculus with Matrix Applications 4 credits and MTH 3006 Integral Calculus 4 credits MTH 3030 Analytic Geometry and Calculus II 5 credits In addition to the courses above, the following two prerequisite course: ECO 1001 Micro-Economics 3 credits ECO 1002 Macro-Economics 3 credits Required Courses MTH 3020 Intermediate Calculus 4 credits or MTH 3030 Analytic Geometry and Calculus II 5 credits MTH 4120 Introduction to Probability 4 credits MTH 4410 Theory of Interest 3 credits MTH 4500 Mathematical Finance 4 Credits FIN 3000 Principles of Finance 3 credits FIN 3610 Corporate Finance 3 credits In addition, two courses must be chosen from the following list of electives: Electives MTH 3300 Algorithms, Computers, and Programming I 3 credits MTH 4125* Stochastic Processes 4 credits MTH 4130 Mathematics of Statistics 4 credits MTH 4135* Methods of Monte Carlo Simulation 3 credits MTH 4420 Actuarial Mathematics 4 credits MTH 4421 Actuarial Mathematics II 4 credits MTH 4451 Risk Theory 4 credits ECO 3100* Intermediate Micro-Economics 3 credits ECO 3200 Intermediate Macro-Economics 3 credits * Actuarial science majors are encouraged to select this course." --------------------------------- i have no idea what to choose. If i have no background in calculus or statistics what should i take according to this list? track 1,2,or 3? i guess i would have to take the 6 required courses along with what ever "track" and 2 electives. How does this work though Would i take different classes each year? this is very confusing. how long does it take to become an actuary if you never took any calculus or statistic classes in highschool. i would be so thankful of anyone that could pretty much make a blue print for my Actuarial Science major, like what courses to take every year. ----- the case with stony brook univ. is easier i think but still confusing. It says i need to get into the Applied Math Major program with pre-requisites of single-variable calculus and linear algebra.

Resolved Question: Why is correcting my birth certificate such a hassle?

About a year ago, I went to get a copy of my birth certificate. They printed it out and all that good stuff, but upon my review, my first name was spelled wrong. It was a simple one letter off, and I figured it'd be an easy fix; just take it back and tell them it was spelled wrong, and I could get another. Of course, it's not that easy. So I had to go Vital Statistics, which told me to go to some other place, who told me I had to get my parents to sign some paper in front of a notary and mail it in, and they would mail me my birth certificate. The birth certificate however, never arrived in the mail, ( I've waited 12 weeks so far.) Is there anywhere I can go, or someone I can call who can just give me a simple fix to all of this? I'm getting pretty desperate here.I should probably also add that I was adopted into a different last name through the court. My old birth certificate shows the correct spelling of my first name, as does the court papers from the adoption. more

I have just finished my third semester, in the course of which I became deeply interested in Financial Management. I’ve done research about CPAs and I decided to be an accountant. I am preparing for CPA exam and I have very high arithmetic skill and have an analytical & systematic way of thinking. I am also multi-cultural and can easily adapt with people from different culture. I have been stuck to academic environment for a long time and I am very excited to taste the professionalism in real life. I am willing to work hard and work as a team in any environment. I will be leaving for LA next week and would be ready for an interview. I will respond promptly with any additional materials you may need and would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications. Please feel free to contact me through email at annietabio@yahoo.com Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Annie Han Okay. I have never done this kind of thing and this is my very first resume & cover letter. If you want to rephrase any grammer error, misplacement or awkward sentence, you are more than welcome! But most importantly, since I leave next week, I can't send this to America. It would take weeks. Anyway I got the Big4's E-mail and career website. But, don't I need to send them a high school diploma or the evidence that I am attending college? Also, typical cover letter includes signature. So should I 'print->sign->scan->signed cover letter'? Thank you in advance. :) more

Resolved Question: Do we comprehend the disasters of the moment???????????

...the nurding home fire, the river in flood pouring over the sandbag levee, the airplane crash with fragments of burnt bodies scattered among the hunks of twisted metal, the grenade in the marketplace, the sinking ship. But how to grasp a thing that does not kill you today or tomorrow but slowly from the inside in twenty years. How to feel that a corporate or governmental choice means we bear twisted genes and our grandchildren will be stillborn if our children are very lucky. Slow death can not be photographed for the six oclock news. Its all statistical, the gross national product or the prime lending rate. Yet if our eyes saw in the right spectrum, how it would shine, lurid as magenta neon. If we could smell radiation like seeping gas, if we could sense it as heat, if we could hear it as a low ominous roar of the earth shifting, then we would not sit and be poisoned while industry spokesmen talk of acceptable millirems and ~O2 cancer per population thousand. We acquiesce at murder so long as it is slow, murder from asbestos dust, from tobacco, from lead in the water, from sulphur in the air, and fourteen years later statistics are printed on the rise in leukemia among children. We never see their faces. They never stand, those poisoned children together in a courtyard, and are gunned down by men in three-piece suits. The shipyard workers who built nuclear submarines, the soldiers who were marched into the Nevada desert to be tested by the H- bomb, the people who work in power plants, they die quietly years after in hospital wards- and not on the evening news. The soft spring rain floats down and the air is perfumed with pine and earth. Seedlings drink it in, robins sip it in puddles, you run in it and feel clean and strong, the spring rain blowing from the irradiated cloud Over the power plant. Radiation is oppression, the daily average kind, the kind youre almost used to and live with as the years abrade you, high blood pressure, ulcers, cramps, migraine, a hacking cough you take it inside and it becomes pain and you say, not They are killing me but I am sick now.

I see this question asked, and I'm disgusted! It really shocks me. I guess living in Canada, where there is very little racism, and this site being used mainly by Americans, this question must be normal for you guys?? 92% of Canadians are okay with it, but it jumps to 99% when Canadians under 35 are considered.

Resolved Question: FL Vital Statistics won't accept my court order for a Delayed Birth Certificate because it was issued in CA?

I am 21 years old and have no birth certificate, social security card, ID of any type because my parents never applied for them.They would not when I asked them to once I came of age to realize it affected me. Since I have turned 18 I have been doing everything possible to obtain these but it's almost impossible it seems.. I desperately need these documents in order to work, go to school, drive, you know all the basic rights citizens are granted. Step 1 is a birth certificate, I can get everything else no prob once I have that. I was born in Florida so I applied for a 'No Record Found' statement form FL Vital Statistics showing that I have no records. They sent it to me with an application for a Delayed Birth Certificate. I filled it out, got the money order, included every document I had to show I existed ( 2 notarized affidavits with eye witness statements from my sister and mother, an Immunization record from when I was 5, High school transcripts from a charter school that accepted me despite the fact I didn't have ID, the no record found statement and a school ID card with picture) and sent it back to FL V.S. They denied me because they needed 2 documents stating my 'place of birth' and the second one I had (the notarized affidavits) they don't accept anymore after 9/11 happened. So they sent me a petition for a Court Ordered Delayed Birth Certificate from a circuit court. The petition they sent me was specific for Florida and the problem is I live in California and I am broke and I don't have ID for travel anyways. So I was stumped! I contacted a legal aid lady who had no clue what to do and sent me on a wild goose chase for a year, suggested I file a birth cert in California so after I finally contacted CA V.S after many attempts and got the docs, sent it to them and got denied because I wasn't born in California I realized the legal adviser was an idiot, so my boyfriend and I did our own research. He found out that according to Health and Safety code of FL and CA all we had to do was petition for a court order in a court of my county of residency OR my county of birth and send that to FL V.S. So we petitioned our county court and basically had to explain to the people at the County Clerks office how to do they're jobs and showed them the health and safety code. I got a court hearing, stood in front of the judge and he signed my petition with minimal questions. (amazingly, California excepts Notarized Affidavits still...) So the court told me to send the signed petition to FL vital statistics, I sent it to them and have been calling them every week for the past 6 weeks. Finally got a call back today, the lady told me she decide my documents were not acceptable because it was from a California court and not Florida court. I told her it didn't matter and read her Florida's Health and Safety code and she said that it didn't matter because my documents weren't 'domesticated' and they needed to because California is 'foreign'. I asked her to explain what she meant by 'domesticated' and she was very evasive, the only thing she said is the document didn't fit their policy and said something about finger printing. I was very angry so she told me to stop yelling and that her attorney would contact me. She hasn't yet.... So my boyfriend was saying maybe I need to send the court order to FL County clerk and that's what she meant by 'domesticated'? Am I left with no other option but to go through a Florida court even though I'm not sure they will accept my Notarized Affidavits? I have no clue how I'm going to get to Florida, my family is broke, my boyfriend can't take any time off or we will fall very far behind so he can't drive me. Has anyone dealt with this kind of case before? BTW, it's under Probate law not Family law, I found that out in court. What do I do? Any help, insights or suggestions would be appreciated, you can pm me too. Thanks!@ Hi, Ya it was a lot of reading, and that was the short version! When I leave some of that info out most people don't understand my situation and ask a lot of questions. Y!A doesn't really provide a space for that so I had to get it all out in one breath. :( I might add that you don't exactly have short questions your self Hi.... No I can't not get ID because I can't get a job without id which means I can't get money! They can't send me to a different country, I was born in America, where are they ganna send me??? If I was born else where this wouldn't be an issue, Id have a birth cert to prove I was born and I could get a citizenship no prob! I can't prove I was born! I don't exist anywhere! Immigrants are having an easier time than I am getting ID! Besides, I'm entitled to my rights I was born here! I've never even left the US, I can't without ID!!!! I'm being forced by the Government to live illegally because I can't even pay taxes! more

Voting Question: Why Is My Computer Suddenly Not Defragging?

I've had a lot of computer problems over the years, but this one is just plain weird, to me. Up until yesterday, I NEVER had any problem with defragging my disk. Then I do my defragging yesterday and it simply will not defrag, not a single file! I thought it may be a problem with the defrag utility I use, Defraggler, so I downloaded two others to check it out. I DL Auslogics defrag, and the O&O defragger. Same thing, will not defrag. One thing I did notice on the report afterward. It says "List of LOCKED FILES". Maybe that's the reason. I don't know much about defragging, but maybe because these files are 'locked', the utility cannot defrag them. The question in my mind is HOW did these files come to be locked. I certainly haven't done anything different lately to make them so. And if this is the problem, how do I go about UNLOCKING these files? I do use a System Restore(I don't like System Restore) utility called Rollback RX, which locks the snapshots it takes of my disk, and I made sure the disk was unlocked before I did the defrag. So I decided to print here the report generated by O&O for your review. Maybe you can see what the problem may be and how to cure it. Thanks very much. Here is the report(notice it says the defrag files and degree of fragmentation are the SAME, before and after the defrag attempt): Report for volume © Action carried out:SPACE Status:Successful Start:4/23/2010 717 PM Finish:4/23/2010 7:10:45 PM Time taken (hh:mm:ss):00:04:28 Volume data Serial number:F058-8487 Device name:\Device\HarddiskVolume1 File system:NTFS Total space:106.08 GB (113,911,869,440 bytes) Free space:83.33 GB (89,482,248,192 bytes) Total clusters:27,810,515 Free clusters:21,846,252 Sectors / cluster:8 Bytes / sector:512 MFT length:109969408 bytes MFT mirror start:13,905,257 Start of MFT reserved area:17,067,264 End of MFT reserved area:17,118,496 Volume statistics Total no. of files:75,709 Total no. of directories:17,079 Analyzed files:92,788 Moved files:0 Fragmented filesbefore:1,019 after:1,019 Degree of fragmentation:before:5.407 after:5.407 List of fragmented files FragmentsNo. of clustersFile name 426,848C:\$MFT List of locked files FragmentsNo. of clustersFile name 1,1491,156C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download\c91af43e301542f65a88d59517636d32\ 5418,601C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\Safari\SafeBrowsing.db 2744,402C:\ProgramData\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\INFECTED\4f084388.qua 23812,950C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\FLVService\Sign In(18).bin 21013,668C:\Program Files\Shield\ShdDsk.sdi 1841,392C:\$Secure:$SDS:$DATA 1734,402C:\ProgramData\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\INFECTED\579f6c28.qua 153447C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\f_000051 1356,677C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\FLVService\Sign In(6).bin 1332,069C:\Users\John\Documents\Freecorder 4\the way we were (lala-good SS).mp3 129554C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Cache\f_00005d 12826,390C:\ProgramData\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\TEMP\avguard.tmp 11013,668C:\Program Files\Shield\shdinit.sdi 1005,237C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\FLVService\Sign In(5).bin 892,420C:\Users\John\Documents\Freecorder 4\Jackie Blue-jango.mp3 793,266C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Temp\O&O Defrag Professional\O&O Defrag Professional Edition.msi 699,264C:\$Extend\$UsnJrnl:$J:$DATA 602,591C:\Users\John\Downloads\nexusradio.exe 602,169C:\Users\John\Documents\Freecorder 4\Hot Stuff(play audio video.com.mp3 54216C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\index.dat 542,205C:\Users\John\Documents\Downloads\lrecordeva(195-1)_setup.exe 525,083C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\FLVService\Sign In(3).bin 46686C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\Safari\Cache.db 451,778C:\Users\John\Documents\Downloads\aimp_2.61.560.zip 441,696C:\Users\John\Downloads\EasyMP3DownloaderSetup.exe 44203C:\Users\John\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Recovery\High\Last Active\{73325B1D-4EE3-11DF-B8D3-00142A16DB12}.dat 421,807C:\Users\John\Documents\Downloads\winamp5572_lite_all.exe 391,461C:\Users\John\Downloads\Manic Monday.mp3 36908C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application SupThanks for your responses.

Voting Question: What % of people pay NO Federal taxes?

Not 47%, as rich guy Rush Limbaugh wants you to think. It's TEN PERCENT. "The 47 percent number is not wrong. The stimulus programs of the last two years — the first one signed by President George W. Bush, the second and larger one by President Obama — have increased the number of households that receive enough of a tax credit to wipe out their federal income tax liability. "But the modifiers here — federal and income — are important. Income taxes aren’t the only kind of federal taxes that people pay. There are also payroll taxes and capital gains taxes, among others. And, of course, people pay state and local taxes, too. "Even if the discussion is restricted to federal taxes (for which the statistics are better), a vast majority of households end up paying federal taxes. Congressional Budget Office data suggests that, at most, about 10 percent of all households pay no net federal taxes. The number 10 is obviously a lot smaller than 47. .. "State and local taxes, meanwhile, may actually be regressive. That is, middle-class and poor families may face higher tax rates than the wealthy. As Kim Rueben of the Tax Policy Center notes, state and local income taxes and property taxes are less progressive than federal taxes, while sales taxes end up being regressive. The typical family pays a lot of state and local taxes, too — almost half as much as in federal taxes." http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/14/business/economy/14leonhardt.html?ref=business&pagewanted=print more

Hi guys I have an assignment due pretty soon. For some reason I don't seem to be able to understand it. If you guys can figure something out please let me know. Code would be best but if not a right direction would work too. Write a C program that reads text from stdin and writes a word frequency table to stdout.

The instructor's solution has 11 source files. -> Impose no arbitrary limits (e.g., line length, word length, or number of words). -> Use strtok(), scanf() and malloc(). -> Implement a chained hashtable for quick access. Resize and rehash the table whenever a chan has more than a certain number of entries. Use the Dictionary interface below. Demonstrate that automatic resizing works.

Resolved Question: How should I interpret this interview comment?

I had an interview yesterday with a mental health care agency that went very well and lasted about an hour and 40 minutes. Everything was going great. I asked my interviewer if they did much statistical analysis in-house and we talked about that for a few minutes because I tutor graduate level statistics. It's certainly one of my strengths. Based on this she said that she thought there may be other positions available in other offices within the same organization that I may be better qualified for. She then printed out the organization's list of job postings and gave it to me. I don't know if I should be pleased that the interview went well, pleased that I now (apparently) have some help with my job search, or upset because there's no way I'm getting that job. What would you think? She obviously thinks I would be a benefit to the organization or she wouldn't have given me the list. If it wasn't going well, she had no reason to tell me anything, and yet I left her office with a job description for the position I was interviewing for, a benefits summary, business card, and the number for human resources..... I don't get it. more

Voting Question: Help with C++ program?

You are to write a program to analyze weather statistics for Rochester. The file RocTempData.txt has the average monthly temperature for each month for years 1940 through 2008, inclusively. The user will enter a year between 1940 and 2008, inclusively. For that year, the user can ask for the following statistics: • Display of all monthly average temperatures After entering all desired options for one year, the user can enter another year. Validate all user input. If the input is invalid, print an appropriate error message and allow the user to re-enter any invalid input. You must write a function name readMonthlyTemps which read the 12 monthly temperatures for the specified year. The function has three parameters. The first is an ifstream object passed by reference. The second is the requested year as an integer passed by value. The third is the array of doubles to hold the 12 monthly temperatures. Remember the data in the array can be altered in a function. You will need to "rewind" the file in the function readMonthlyTemps. Rewinding means re-setting the file pointer back to the beginning of the file so that the data can read starting from the beginning. The method seekg in the ifstream class can be used to rewind an input file. This method has two parameters. The first parameter is the offset into the file. This is the number of the byte that you want to move to. The second parameter is called the mode and it designates where to calculate the offset from. The valid modes are: ios::beg – the offset is calculated from the beginning of the file ios::end – the offset is calculated from the end of the file ios::cur – the offset is calculated from the current position To rewind the file, use 0 for the first parameter and ios::beg for the second, that is, set the file pointer to 0 bytes from the beginning of the file. The file RocTempData.txt has the following format: year as integer followed by 12 double numbers with one decimal place. The 12 numbers represent the average monthly temperature of January through December. The file starts with 1940 through 2008, inclusively. To find a requested year, rewind the file. Then read the first year in the file, namely 1940. If this is not the requested year, then "skip over" the next 12 numbers by reading them. Since there is no need to save them, you can use a primitive double to read all 12 numbers. Then the next year can be read. Repeat this process until the requested year is found. Then read the following 12 numbers and store them into an array of doubles. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Or at least point me in a direction. I don't even know how to start this.. more

Voting Question: statistics question HELP PLEASE?

Resolved Question: Does anyone here along with me agree that 'Britain has 5x more violent crimes than the US' is not at all true?

apparently there are 2034 violent crimes per 100000 whereas the United States has 466 violent crimes per 100000 whereas South Africa has 1609 violent crimes per 100000. That makes out that in the UK you are 5 times more likely to be violently attacked than in the US. I know for a fact that is not true, because the UK's violent crime statistics criteria is far different than in the US therefore if the statistics are being compared just prints Britain an undeserved bad name. For instance, The UK classes even threats under the "violence against the person" whereas the United States counts violent crime as the actual violence itself. Also, we include violence within domestic abuse situations whereas in the US they consider domestic violence as family matters, so if we took away all the statistics relating to threats and domestic abuse problems, even if we DO have higher statistics, no way is it 5 times worse than US nor worse than South Africa. I think Britain should have the statistics criteria and work out the statistics exactly the same as the United States and the rest of the world, and THEN we can compare the statistics.ohhh by the way, the sources are here http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1196941/The-violent-country-Europe-Britain-worse-South-Africa-U-S.html https://www.osac.gov/Reports/report.cfm?contentID=113860all you have to do is higlight these addresses, copy, and paste them into the address barAnother point I would like to make is, is that how can the UK be worse than South Africa when South Africa has the worst record for rapes, 2nd-worst for robberies, one of the worst for homicides...is obvious that these statistics are wrong.and if our statistics criteria IS measured the same as that of the US, that would mean BY NATIONAL AVERAGE the UK is more than 3 times worse than Los Angeles California, twice as violent as New Orleans Louisiana, Slightly worse than Detroit Michigan and in level with St Louis Missouri ... and no way on this earth are we 21 times worse than Australia. Its a load of rubbish. more

Resolved Question: Obama says before he took over we were losing 700,000 jobs a month, Ok Prove it, When and Where.?

2008, US Dept. Of Labor stats. 2,600,000 Jobs lost. that's 216,000 per month. 2007. US Dept. Of Labor stats, 1,550,000 Jobs lost. that's 129,166 per month. 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003, All less than the above. So where did this 700,000 jobs lost per month number come from? This is nothing more than Obama lies and distortions of the facts. This man can't even be trusted to offer straight up statistics to back his BS claims. And you wonder why the Country is turning a deaf ear, and closing their eyes to what ever this man says or puts in print. Now at NO time are numbers like this acceptable on any level. But to distort and spin and lie about what the actual numbers are is just why this Nation does not trust Barack Obama.LTM. I honestly did not take that into consideration. Thank you, It all becomes very clear now.! more

Resolved Question: Which Media source do you believe is the most honest and accurate?

I personally trust NPR the most. I can't defend all their local programs during the day. But their national news in my opinion is 100% accurate as far as statistics. I distrust all cable news, and take network news with a grain of salt. And if it sounds like I'm leaning too far left, although I read the NY Times, and am not aware of any real misleading news they print. I also can't trust them entirely considering their sole source of revenue comes from advertisements. more
