  • Does Superman (or any true classic super hero) purposely commit murder on their enemies?

    I've been in an ongoing argument with a good friend about this. My belief is that a true super hero (I used Superman as an example because he is the stereotype for Super heroes) will never ever intentionally murder (that is to needlessly kill, or kill without reason) anyone for any reason. I understand that many heroes have killed in the past, but what I am talking about is cold blooded murder due to hate, and uninfluenced (another example: we all know that Superman will murder when exposed to red Kryptonite, but would he do the same without the red Kryptonite influencing him?). Has any classic hero ever done this? I do understand that irl, we humans need to kill before certain dangers are allowed to get into the hands of others, but what I am talking about is like, Spiderman going to Doc Octopus and stabbing him for no reason other than Doc Ock causing Spidy's life to be hell, or Superman killing Lex Luther because he's tired of Lex's BS and realizes that a prison won't hold him.

  • My computer has 4 RAM slots that support 1 Gig ram per slot, what would happen if I put 2Gig ram in each slot?

    I am currently running a Gigabyte EP45-UD3P mobo with 2-2Gig 1066 DDR 2 Muchkin RAM According to my software, the RAM slots only support 1Gig RAM each. Everything seems to be running properly, BIOS timing is correct, and Windows is running it as 4 Gigs of RAM. I've been running this computer for a couple of years now. What kind of damage will this do to my computer in the long run? And would it damage my computer if I get more RAM for it?

  • what are the lights on my mouse for?

    I got a mouse that I do not fully understand. Its the CM Storm Sentinal Zero G Mouse. What are the lights on the top of it for? The colors can be changed, but I can't figure out if its just for show (and added expense) or for what? It was my stupidity to get something I don't understand, so I might as well learn it so I know the next time.

  • Can Cloud be implemented in an internet cafe?

    I hope to start an internet cafe, so I have been watching computer tech info, and right now Cloud seems to be very popular among IT and large businesses. Would it work for an internet cafe to use the service for storage of its customers computer usage? For example, instead of keeping World of Warcraft on our hard drives, we run it from Cloud instead, thus saving space on the Cafe's computers, and not needing larger HD disks?

  • Can I mount my TV into a wall that is made of plywood?

    I am in a very small room and have a 32" TV that I would like to mount on the wall along with my XBox 360. The problem is that this house was cheaply made so it has Plywood under the wall paper and no drywall. If I were to use a normal swivel mount and mounted shelves underneath... would I still have to search for the studs to mount the TV and would the plywood support the TV + light weight shelves? The TV in question is a Vizio 32" Flat Panel HDTV.

  • Is it wrong to put ketchup on steak?

    I have been having this argument with a friend of mine for a while. He says it is not polite to put ketchup on a steak. I have been to several 4 star restaurants in my lifetime, and at every restaurant I have been asked if I want ketchup with my order of steak. He likes chain steak houses, and they usually have ketchup on the table. So I am curious, is it wrong for me to put ketchup on my steak, even if I think the steak is perfect? I will admit a perfectly cooked steak doesn't need it, but sometimes I just want the ketchupy flavor with the steak.

  • How come conservatives are always quick to insult liberals?

    It just that I have noticed that the Right wing is always quick to insult or call left wingers stupid. I am staying nuetral, but it seems to me from a nuetral point of view that the Conservatives are quick to call anyone whom does not agree with their point stupid or any other insulting term they can think up. Yet, they do not seem to be willing to admit their own wrongs, or admit that they can affect the world they live in. Why is this? To me, this is stupid.

  • My car fan is not shutting off after I turn off the car?

    I drive a 1984 Lincoln Towncar (V6 engine). Recently I have been having trouble with my car battery draining. I was told by the clerks at autozone that it was most likely my solonoid. So I replaced it. My car started and seemed to work. When I then had to leave for work, I found my car without power. So I took my battery out and had it recharged...I also replaced my battery clamps. Well, my car starts like new, but this time, when I shut it off, my fan kept going until my battery was completely drained. I do not know much about cars, but I do not have the money to take the car into a mechanic. What are suggestions that could cause this? And how can I fix this without spending more than $300? Any link that can help me would be great.

  • Why won't my keyboard or mouse recover when I go out of standby mode with Windows 7 RC?

    My problem with Windows 7 is that I do not turn off my computer. I do however put it into standby.

  • Need advice on how to proceed about stolen vehicle?

    I sold a car to a "friend". She agreed to pay $800 in 16 payments of $50 a week. This started on the 21st of Jan. After the first week of her paying for the car, her husband got fired. How one gets fired from a church, I do not understand. Then a week later, she tells me she is going to Florida for a week, but she tells our boss (we worked at the same place) that she was moving permantly. I asked her what was going on, and she said she was comming back after a week. Well, she got fired the following week. She still paid that week. The following week she did not pay, but she ended up trying to by jewelry from a friend of mine for $50. Well, she then went to Florida, but now she is back, she came back about the last week of Feb. She has made several promises to pay, and we made arrangements agreeable to her that she can leave the money where I work. I have not seen or heard from her since. I still have the Lien, a copy of the registration, and a copy of the title, as well as copies of all of the receipts on the payments she has made, and a copy of the contract. Unfortunately, I did not put a begin or end date for the payments on the contract. I would take her to court, but I cannot afford the court costs or time from work unless there is no other choice for me. She still owes $600. What can I do to either get the money from her or get the car back? The biggest risk is that the car is in Florida with her husband, and I am Kansas.

  • I need some clarification from those who do not believe in God.?

    How do you explain Jesus, or the Dead Sea Scrolls? How do you explain that his birth was predicted in the Old Testament? And also, how do you explain that the Bible is fiction, when archeologists can trace the exact steps of Jesus, 2000 years later, and how other documents tend to confirm the things Jesus did in his life? I would really like to understand the thinking on this.

  • first time overclocking?

    I put together my first gaming computer. It was very cheaply done, but a lot of the components were designed for overclocking. I have never overclocked before, and never seen the tempature of a computer. after experimenting with the overclocking with FOX one, my cpu temp went up from 60 to 105. It is currently steady at 105 and is still stable. Will this hurt my computer, and what is the tempature that my cpu should be averaging? Here are my computer specs:

    Motherboard: Foxconn M6IPMV

    Memory: 4 Gigs. DDR2 RAM

    Graphics: EVGA NVidia Geforce 9400GT

    Processor: AMD Athlon X2 7750 @ 2.7, 2.7Ghz L2+L3 Cache

  • Can someone tell me an unbiased news company?

    It seems to me that every news company is biased in some way. Fox news is Conservative and will trash anyone who does not agree to their views, (don't believe me, watch O'Riely factor, or Hanity and Colmes), and any news station that just states the facts are liberal because they show stuff that is not really good for our country (unbiased news), CNN is to liberal (they seem to always favor the Democrats). Is there anyone out there that can just state the facts of what is going on in the world and politics without being plunged into this ridiculous media war?

  • A possible religious statement from a dream?

    I had a dream where the city I was living in was burning to the ground. People were still in the city being burned alive. I could even hear their screams. I was outside the city, safe from the flames. There was a wide ditch between me and the fire. there was a very narrow bridge, and somehow I knew it was the only way out of the city. Standing next to me was a very bright person. He told me that the path was narrow and very few would make it out. Some people did try to get out, they made it to the ditch, but instead of crossing the bridge, they jumped off and fell down, I never heard or saw them hit the bottom. I wanted to help the people in the city, but I knew that it was up to them to help themselves. I have an idea of what this dream could be, but it would be nice to have opinions on it, cause it was very freaky.

  • Is this legal, and what can I do?

    Recently I think my boss has been violating labor laws. My boss refuses to pay overtime and has gone as far as editing my time punches so it does not show over 40 hours worked. I work overnights, and the place I work's computers are not set up for overnights, so I have to clock out on the main computer to end the day, then clock back in 30 min. later after the computer finishes the work. When I punch out in the mornings the time-punches read xx xx-600. I sometimes still have to work through that 30 min. and was told to just throw it on the previous nights time-punch, or add it at the end of the day's punch (at 6am). Is this legal? If it isn't, what can I do about it? cause there is no proof.
