» Why did they change from Bombay to Mumbai?
Bombay was the name of the city when India was a colony of Great Britain. Now that they are an independent country, they are allowed to express their own culture and such and call it by the real name. Actually, I've just read about it, because I was interested in this question too. The city was never called Mumbai before, nor the location was called Mumbai. The place was called Bom Bahia - Good bay by Portuguese, then the English came and practically built the city and called it Bombay (that's how they changed Portuguese name). Then contemporary activists group decided that it should be called Mumbai in honour of goddess Mumba. They claimed that it was original name, where in reality it never was. And the author even mentions that...... - 2010-03-16

Hi I have read a few threads about this issue, but I haven't been able to find a clear response, so here goes... I recently moved all of my video files off of my Windows Vista PC onto a Terastation NAS. I can connect to the NAS via SMB and browse files, but many of the files simply wont play. They can't even be selected from the list of files ie I try to click on them and nothing happens at all - the file doesn't even start to open. Strangely, some files seem to work. It's not a file size issue. I think it might be something to do with file permissions, but not sure. Any help most appreciated.

The first time it happened I was 15 and it would happen every once in a great while when I was kneeling or squatting down, or even just sitting down on the floor, a great amount of pain would shoot through my right knee and I couldn't move it.

» Microsoft Office 12 will be Office 2007
Thanks to Steven Bink for this news update on Office 12. Well I saw Office 12 demo's at IT Forum where the apps were named Office 2007, also as mentioned earlier on Bink.nu, the name change of all office apps now have the name Office in them. So "Microsoft Office Word" and not "Microsoft Word" Now with Office Online Beta the name Office 2007 appears again, so we can expect to launch as Office 2007. I also saw Exchange 12 as Exchange 2007, this might change to Exchange 2008 cause it will be released in Q1 2007. On the other hand marketing would like to see the names in sync. Nice detail is that the binaries for Exchange 12 are 8.0 while Exchange 2003 are 6.5. 7.0 had codename Kodiak and was cancelled. Source:http://neowin.net/ind...... - 2010-03-16
» Why is the sky/ocean blue?
Why is the sky blue? if it is a reflection of the ocean, then why is the ocean blue? it cant be reflecting the sky because the sky reflects the ocean. What about if the oceans are polluted, how come it is still blue??The water and sky both absorb all colors except for blue. The blue is reflected from the particles that make up the sky. This reflection enters your eye and is translated as blue. It's just a bunch of particles reflecting color!Most of the time the ocean appears to be blue because this is the color our eyes see. But the ocean can be many other colors depending upon particles in the water, the depth of the water, and the amount of skylight. The colors we see depend upon the reflection of the visible wavelengths of light ...... - 2010-03-16

hell... a new one :lol: (fake pic of ps3 or ....) http://www.gizmodo.com/gadgets/images/ps3-pdfsm.jpg For a start, the use of the phrase "PlayStation 3" on the slide is unusual, since Sony has been carefully avoiding using that phrase in association with its next-generation console, and sources close to the company - including graphics chip manufacturer NVIDIA - have stated that the system will not be called that. The presence of a UMD bay is also peculiar; it's labelled as "PS3 / PSP UMD MediaMove" in the picture, which suggests that it would be a drive for writing UMDs as well as reading them, but Sony has so far been hugely resistant to that concept. Indeed, the company is so determined not to allow people to write to UMD dis...... - 2010-03-16

Sometimes I use it! :DI don't think MySQL deals with file associations, and it uses it own's files, so I doubt there will be sharing conflicts. The only thing to look for is the ports used.

If so, is the trend the same for countries in both the northern and southern hemispheres, or is it the opposite, i.e. seasonal?I think that the rate increases during Winter months in some countries as elderly people succumb to the cold with hypothermia.Well, it depends on what death rate...suicide? murder? natural causes? disease? In winter, with inclement weather (car accidents, slips-and-falls), depression (around holidays); flu and pnuemonias; fires due to faulty wiring in heating sources, christmas trees and lighting; drinking and driving (to-and-from holiday parties), I would guess that the overall death rate in the US is most likely higher in the colder climes than in the warmer climes, for the reasons stated above...

» Is it normal for a two week year old to have a whitish discharge from the vagina?
My two week year old daughter is having a discharge come out of her vagina, like women have before they start their period. Is this normal or should I be worried?do you mean 2 week old or 2 year old? Edit: ah yes, Ella had that at about 2/3 weeks old too. Just happened once, never again!Totally normal. She's still got hormones in her body that came from you during pregnancy/birth, so it's perfectly okay. I'm surprised the L&D nurse didn't tell you this so you wouldn't worry.2 week old or 2 year old? IF 2 week old yes. I thought the same thing when I had my daughter. The nurse told me in a nutshell it is your hormones being excreted through your daughter. It is normal, it will go away. You can also use a q-tip...... - 2010-03-16

I am 5'9", 295 lbs and I am trying to lose weight. I plan on limiting my caloric intake to about 1400 a day. Is this too little? I plan on doing cardio 3 times a week, and strength training 5 times a week.Most diets reccomend at least 1200 calories a day to lose weight..Once you lose the weight a few more calories is necessary to sustain the weight. Depends on the diet. If you do heavy workouts a few more calories will be needed. For women it's 1200 calories a day and for men it is 1800 calories a day. On strength training, do it only 3 days a week. That is if you are using weights.You people are undereating. With that amount of exercise, something like 2500 - 3000 would be maintenance.

Thanks to Steven Bink for this news update on Office 12.

So "Microsoft Office Word" and not "Microsoft Word" Now with Office Online Beta the name Office 2007 appears again, so we can expect to launch as Office 2007. I also saw Exchange 12 as Exchange 2007, this might change to Exchange 2008 cause it will be released in Q1 2007. On the other hand marketing would like to see the names in sync.

The presence of a UMD bay is also peculiar; it's labelled as "PS3 / PSP UMD MediaMove" in the picture, which suggests that it would be a drive for writing UMDs as well as reading them, but Sony has so far been hugely resistant to that concept.

I get really angry at certain times, even if it's not a big deal at all. I also have problems emotionally. Not mentally, emotionally. You know, like I feel sad/depressed alot and it just causes a bunch of stress for me. But I've also from time to time, felt pains in the area of my heart, also shortness of breath alot. I just need to know, at the age of only 20, can these things still cause a heart attack?Yes. I had a big arguement with my boss. I had been biting my tongue for about 8 years with him. One day i just couldn't hold it in any longer. years of anger came pouring out ove...... - 2010-03-16
» Word in MS Office XP
The labelling function is not working correctly. One page Avery and other labels spill over to a second page. I've tried adjusting the standard document template - this does not solve the misfunction. Can anyone help ?petert12-ga: For a problem such as this, the most likely culprit is a difference between the printer's non-printable areas, and the non-printable areas recognized by Word (as supplied to it by the printer driver). Adjusting the document template can often fix this, but the best thing to do is to start with your printer's manual, look up the non-printable areas, and ensure that the margins used by both Word and the printer driver are at least as large as the non-printable areas.

Hi All, This is my 1st post on the forum and I am new to the whole XBMC community. I am wrapped with the xbox that I softmodded myself (Krayzies Endure) and then FTP'ed XBMC to the xbox. I am running XBMC as my default dashboard (T3CH XBMC 2008-04-20 SVN rev12746-REPACK). I am sharing my movies over LAN via SMB.

» The Digit Story
Hi Billboardhunk Thanks for the history. But we are not criticizing Digit because it's an Indian brand. Whatever happened to CHIP is history. What we want is that the standard of Digit should be improved. For a long time people have been demanding indiviual review of the items rather than clubbing everything together. Then there issues like having models on the cover page. I guess that having models on the cover page would increase the price which could have been used for some articles. What do you think companies here are for. ICICI or whatever they are here to make money. What about an Indian brand. What do you think had an Indian brand done had it been in the same shoes.

» I am thinking about remodeling and designing my room any tips....expecially on furniture,not too expensive!!!!?
thanx. and not too fancy either just for a teenIf you're near any Ikea, head there for furniture. It is much better quality than what they sell at target and wal-mart for the same price.Some tips to remember when buying furniture. One: for a bed, get a bed that is also a desk, it looks like a bunk bed with a desk underneath. Very affordable and very space cautious. Two: by a versatile color that will match with everything. My furniture is a dark dark dark blackish brown. It matches with practically every color I've seen it with. Three: Check ALL stores. Sad to say, Ikea may be a little pricey but it's worth the money because it lasts for a while. Depending on your style preferences you will choose the color on your own. I ch...... - 2010-03-16
» Is the death rate higher in certain months or seasons than others?
If so, is the trend the same for countries in both the northern and southern hemispheres, or is it the opposite, i.e. seasonal?I think that the rate increases during Winter months in some countries as elderly people succumb to the cold with hypothermia.Well, it depends on what death rate...suicide? murder? natural causes? disease? In winter, with inclement weather (car accidents, slips-and-falls), depression (around holidays); flu and pnuemonias; fires due to faulty wiring in heating sources, christmas trees and lighting; drinking and driving (to-and-from holiday parties), I would guess that the overall death rate in the US is most likely higher in the colder climes than in the warmer climes, for the reasons stated above...

What are the problems and benefits from an employee's point of view if a company is going to implement a just in time manufacturing program?Transitioning from a traditional manufacturing approach to a just-in-time manufacturing approach has a number of problems and benefits for employees. First, there is usually a need to change policies and procedures. Because many people do not like to change, this can be stressful to employees. Second, in many respects, just-in-time manufacturing is far more demanding of employees than the conventional approach.

I plan on doing cardio 3 times a week, and strength training 5 times a week.Most diets reccomend at least 1200 calories a day to lose weight..Once you lose the weight a few more calories is necessary to sustain the weight. Depends on the diet. If you do heavy workouts a few more calories will be needed. For women it's 1200 calories a day and for men it is 1800 calories a day. On strength training, do it only 3 days a week. That is if you are using weights.You people are undereating. With that amount of exercise, something like 2500 - 3000 would be maintenance.
