since i already know the answer to this question, i might as well answer my own question.

1) so the writer and the director got together for a sleep over and played Doom 3, Halo, and Half Life and watched War Of The Worlds, Silent Hill, Dawn Of The Dead. and the next morning they woke up and wrote a storyline and developed the script....and guess what? it turns out to be similar to the games they played and movies they watched.

2)if you really want to go watch this movie, go ahead i can't stop you. but let me tell you that you save 4 bucks if you just go to your local blockbuster and rent War Of The Worlds since it is the same exact movie and Silent Hill

oh yeah...that Shelby GT500 came out of nowhere and disappeared into thin air

so have fun watching the movie guys and gals

I just stumbled upon this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rc7mkHtuLOs
It seems to be old NASA footage of a moon fly-over, eventually showing what appears to be some kind of spacecraft which seems to have been there for aeons.
Could that be real?
Whatever you think, can you also give reasons, please?
Thanks.

I used to sing really good and belt when I was younger.. I could hit the notes of Whitney Houston and Celine Dion. I was even Eponine for Les Mis during my senior year. I stopped singing once I got out of high school to focus on college.. Now I cant even sing the easiest notes and I feel like I dont even know how to sing anymore.. Its so tragic and frustrating at the same time.. I tried singing O Holy Night and I cant even belt the easy parts.. What am I doing wrong?

A previous question asked about a root of:
f(x) = 4x^7 +6x^6 +3x^5 +250x^4 +1000x^3 +75x^2 -20x +17

Can you estimate or generalize approximately about the roots, using only, pencil and paper, factorizations or approximations? (no calculators, computers, solvers or Newton-Raphson. See how far you can get using your head!).
Can you at least bound the regions in which each root lies, by identifying the zero-crossings of f?

Two ideas: a) since all terms other than "-20x" are positive, most roots will be negative.
Hence it might make it algebraically easier to substitute u→(-x) and consider
f(u) = -4u^7 +6u^6 -3u^5 +250u^4 -1000u^3 +75u^2 +20u +17

b) I'm thinking one promising way might be to regard it as the superposition of two (or more) polynomials, a high-order one and a lower-order one.

Your thoughts?

I need to know this again, I learned this in middle school when i was in 6th grade. I forgot the reasons for it and it was approximately 5 yrs ago...

If the holy bible did not exist, would Abraham Lincoln's life be different? i mean really he does believe in God and in the bible, he reads the bible too. So how did it come up? Why was the phrase "One nation under one God" added to the pledge of allegiance of america?

i work with this guy that i really like. I'm with him pretty much every day, and often spend my entire day working closely with him. we talk and joke. he's really cool, and he seems to prefer MY company to that of our other coworkers. he has contacted me outside of work via online social network, and once asked if i'd like to get a bite to eat after work. though he has a ginuine interest in me, im sure its only as a FRIEND and not a potential GF. How can i make him take a second look?
also
he doesnt have a GF.

I am just feeling too sad and I have no one to talk to because it's late at night.

I just got dumped. This always hurts, but it hurts more because I am always dumped for the same reason. Because I am not confident.

No matter how much people tell me to believe in myself, that I am pretty, smart, attractive, etc etc, I just don't FEEL confident. And my being insecure with myself always makes other reject me.

I was crazy about my boyfriend...just crazy about him. And he liked me too until I think he decided I wasn't quite right for him...and surprise surprise...he says, "You care too much about other people and should think more about yourself and about making yourself happy." I've heard that one before.

The thing is, being with him made me happy. It's being rejected that hurts. It's hard to feel confident when people don't seem to accept you as you are, flaws and all.

I've been posting a lot tonight b/c I am upset. Thanks for listening...

my friend gave me his old yamaha 50cc scooter, unfortunately the model(name) of the scooter was scraped off on the front part of the bike, how can i determine the model of the scooter, is there some sort of tag or label hidden inside the body or embossed in the metal(body) frame for me to determine. I checked the yamaha websites and i can't get to see a similiar design compared to that of mine, i need the exact model so i can register it our licensing bereau since it doesn't a license plate yet.

I'm a Catholic. I've always learned that with Judaism, the goal is not to convert all of humanity to Judaism; instead, to be righteous, gentiles should adhere to the Seven Laws given by God to Noah.

Is this true? Is there more to it? Thanks!

For Christians that believe in an old earth, & that in Genesis 1 day is like 1000 years , how come everywhere eles in the bible it refers to a 24 hr. period?

And

For the Christians that beieve in a young earth, how come science shows earth older then many of you believe it is?

Midnight Thinker


It’s Twelve o’clock at night,
Wishing I could sleep.
I lay here, thinking of the day.
And while each day passes,
I long even more to hold you forever.
