More resources, bigger island...more fun? How's the balance?

I've been doing this since the dawn of my memory and have never questioned it, until now. Considering the plethora number of body soap bars and other bath accessories out there, which is more efficient in getting the day's dirt off me? Soap or rubbing? And when I mean rubbing, I mean rubbing the skin to get those invisible grey "flakes" or "sweat balls" off.

The guy had already paid for his parking space and I managed to grab his spot when he was leaving at around noon. Would I still need to pay for parking?

Just to wave off a couple of red flags:

1. I don't have ADHD.

2. I rarely drink coffee (in fact, only a grand total of 3 times in my life)

3. I drink in the morning

4. Home-brewed twice and decaf once

5. Never felt dehydrated and have pretty stable health

Any ideas? o.o

Using paper towels or gloves for example (non standard treatments). If improperly done, is there likely a chance the air would be filled with even more spores? More specifically, mode type: Aspergillus & Penicillium. If you know the answer, a reliable internet source would be highly appreciated.

Found one in my backyard but doesn't seem to be a black widow since the "hourglass" isn't red. The rest of the body is black. Does anybody happen to know what kind of spider it is?

I have thousands of websites in A1 to An but all unfortunately do not have http or www. as typically required to have excel automatically turn them into hyperlinks. However, is there a quick way to turn them all into hyperlinks without them?

For Example:

A1:

abc.com

def.org

ghi.net

The links are already in the column, I just need a way to turn all of them blue:)

Thanks!

I have a bunch of mirror sites with different names that are mirroring an original site. Is there a way to easily determine if a website is a mirror? If not easily, detailed explanations would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

I know I won't be able to see their's, but I just want to make sure the reverse is true too. Thanks

Or is there a good idiom?

Is there a short, quick idiom of some kind like "fingering invisible keys" or something? Thanks

Sometimes I would wash out my floss midway and then floss again with the "clean" floss. Does that reduce its effectiveness? Or better yet, is "floss" just an ordinary piece of string?

I clicked the "x" button accidentally when one of my friends contacted me via gmail chat. Ever since then, I've never been getting notifications from him. All of my other friends, though, have me notified.

Any ideas? Thanks

I'm starting a local, nonprofit organization whose budget will not exceed $1000. I was taking a look at Form 1023 for applying for a 501(c)3 nonprofit status and it says that I might need to fill out form 990. The question is, do I? Or do I need to supply a bit more information?

Thanks

I recently checked my settings and I noticed that the minimum amount of virtual memory for all pages was 16mb. Is this an appropriate amount? I have 6gbs installed on my computer.

(currently allocated amount is 5882mb with a recommended amount at 8823mb)

Do I need to readjust?

In other words, where does the word come from? Who came up with it? I understand what it is, but not where it came from.

Just answer plz

Is it possible to turn simulation into actual web application?

I'll try to be as comprehensive as I can:D

I have both AE and Vegas installed on my computer that has around 6gbs of RAM.

I had Vegas installed a few months before AE and Vegas was running smoothly (normal previews = good speed, RAM previews = lightning fast), even with a moderate amount of fx and transitions.

Installed AE after I had learned Vegas enough.

Played around with AE and it ran as smoothly as Vegas.

Opened both AE and Vegas simultaneously one day and decided to render out a clip from AE and immediately transfer to Vegas. The render went horribly wrong (a simple side-to-side white text animation had all sorts of rainbow colors sprinkled around the text as it played). Dropped the clip on to Vegas anyways and saw the same color problem. But what really stood out was a MAJOR slow down in preview speed in Vegas (not during AE render, but after AE render). AE was still open so I decided to close that. Vegas was still running very very slowly. Decided to close Vegas and restart computer. Restart went fine and I opened Vegas again (without AE) and decided to make the same side-to-side white text animation but in Vegas. I succeeded so I started dropping .wmv/avi clips and started doing some basic editing (splitting, cropping, adding transitions, adding fx). When I tried to preview what I had (around 3-4 clips on the timeline only), I noticed a small amount of lag. When I tried a RAM preview, though, it played smoothly. I kept adding more clips for a 3-4 day project I was doing (in total about 80ish small video clips) and kept on noticing the regular preview speed slowly decreasing (not enough to hinder my work). One day I decided to open AE again (making sure to close Vegas) and do a 2nd render for a simple animation. This went smoothly and the video played out really well. But, after closing AE and opening Vegas again, I saw that the preview speed for Vegas had decreased down a notch (lagged every time it passes a fade transition or with two clips on top of each other and does not show the transition or anything really during this lag until the preview line was about 5 sec. away from what triggered the lag in the first place). At this moment I was pretty sure AE seemed very suspicious. More recently, I gave AE a third run, did some rotoscoping, but did not render out anything. I closed AE and opened Vegas. This time Vegas would lag practically every few seconds, completely hindering my work. The only method I can now preview with is with RAM preview, but even then, while the preview is loading, it takes about 3-4 min. to ram preview a 5 sec. portion with fx/transitions and about 10 sec. for a normal clip with nothing done to it. I'm pretty sure AE is the culprit but I'm not tech savvy nor an expert in video editing.

Additional details:

My computer is an HP laptop about 1 year old.

I run virus scans almost daily.

So the question is: does AE negatively impact Vegas and what can I do to fix it?
