Grammar question: where do the commas go?
Here's the sentence (without any commas):
Buses picked up kids for school but other than that there were no buses.
I originally wrote: Buses picked up kids for school, but other than that there were no buses.
My prof. corrected: Buses picked up kids for school but, other than that, there were no buses.
I think it should be: Buses picked up kids for school, but other than that, there were no buses.
Which is it? Or is it something else?

1 AnswerProgramming & Design10 years agoWhat's the movie where sniper(s) shoot 2 holes in podium & they use a straw to trace bullet paths?
So there's a movie where the president or somebody gets sniped at...they think it's just one guy, but one of the main characters puts a straw or something through the lecturn/podium and traces the bullet paths, noticing that the shots came from two distinct locations.
What movie is this? Anyone know what I'm talking about?
2 AnswersMovies1 decade agoNeed a Javascript that will reverse the horizontal and vertical of a div...any ideas?
So I'm letting users build their own HTML page within a template I provide...when it's done I want to mirror that upside down and backwards...basically flip the horizontal and vertical axis. I don't think CSS can do this, but can Javascript? I know almost nothing about the language, but does anyone know 1) if it's possible and 2) if perhaps someone's already done it or something like it, to use as a code starting point?

3 AnswersDental1 decade agoIs it normal to be untrusting as a guy?
Even though I love her a ton and we're about to be engaged, I'm still very untrusting sometimes. It seems like I'm always asking about where she's been and who she's been talking to...even though she's always shown me nothing but love and 100% affection. Even though I don't always tell her, I just seethe inside anytime another guy even looks at her or she even talks to another guy.
Is it just part of being a guy and being protective/defensive of something/someone you really really love? Or is this abnormal and I just need to chill?

2 AnswersOther - Internet1 decade agoJust wiped my hard drive and installed XP---now my networking doesn't work?
My computer was messed up so I wiped the hard drive and installed XP...first time re-doing an OS.
Pretty sure I did it right--everything's nice and clean, but when I go to network places all I see is some 1394 connection. My wireless card doesn't show up...or even my hard drive LAN connection.
How do I get these back?
2 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoI turn on my Mac & it doesn't load--just goes to the grey screen and apple and the little spinning circle?
Ok so I was on my Apple Powerbook G4 1.67ghz gig and a half of RAM (older, I know) surfing the internet when all of a sudden the little color pinwheel started spinning....it locked up like that (first time it's ever done that)....
I held the power button and it turned off...turned back on and all I get is the grey screen with the grey apple logo....the little circle thing just spins and spins and spins and nothing happens.
What's up with my computer? I'm new to the Mac world so I have no idea where to start. Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?

4 AnswersBMW1 decade agoChristians/Charismatics/Whoever: What's with the "gold dust" experience?
Just talked to a friend who went to a "praise and worship conference" where "healings" occurred.....and with it came a lot of gold dust. I've heard of this before....my friend reports a man covered head and shoulders with gold dust.....he "prophesied" and all that good stuff.
What's with this? Don't think this happens anywhere in the Bible. Where did this idea come from? Is it whack? Legit? or what?

1 AnswerSoftware1 decade agoWhat would the ramifications be if Jesus had not risen from the dead?
Jesus lived a perfect life and died for the forgiveness of everyone's sins should they repent and put their faith and trust in him. He offers us everlasting life.
But, theologically, what was the significance of Him raising back to life? What if the human Jesus would have just stayed in the grave? What would the implications be?
It was his death and perfect sacrifice that atones believers, so what was the significance of Jesus being raised back to life?
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoChristians--If an Indian Chief, who is a polygamist, wants to "get saved," what does he do with his wives?
So I'm reading about this history of Marcus and Narcissa Whitman, and they ran into the issue of Indians that were polygamists. The Whitmans argued that the Indians, once saved, had the duty to get rid of all wives but one.
That leads me to the question--what is the proper response of the Christian to a polygamist who wants to repent and trust in Jesus? Does the polygamist divorce all his wives but one, kicking them to the proverbial curb? Or does he continue living as a polygamist, which is something that's also frowned upon by Scripture?
