In your opinion what value do Christian schools add to our educational system overall?

What is the main reason to send my kid to a public school?

O rwhat would be the main reason to send my kid to a Christian School?

Is it within fair use to use an image that say I scanned from National Geographic as the background image on my computer?

For example, if I have a range of 1-100, how can I find the number of combinations for a certain set of numbers that only are ordered smallest to greatest IE 2,4,6,7 would be okay, but the same number reversed 7,6,4,2 would not be.

For instance how many combinations of 5 numbers are there within a range of 1-100 where the five numbers ascend from least to greatest?

Does anyone know a link to some info on how to use C++ or another language to unencode a file back to it's full binary?

i'm really interested in learning how compressed files are read and rebuilt to their full binary. Not just generically that it happens, but exactly how it is accomplished. Thanks!

I've found equations that find the number of ALL possible paths, but I only need to find possible paths that have the same number of steps as the sum of the x and y values.

So if I have a point at [2,3], I want to find the number of possible paths from [0,0] that have five steps.

For example, the path over 2 up 3 is a possibility with five steps. As is up1, over1, up 1, over 1, up 1.

Does anyone know an equation for this type of path finding ?

Rock is not "created." It is assembled. The minerals and stuff existed in other forms in the environment before they were all massed together. So shouldn't they all read about the same age? Or can the dating methods know specificaly when the minerals were put together in rock form as opposed to being in various other environmental places? Or do they not date rock at all except by the bones and evidence of living organisms they find?

What the heck? A movie where the protagonist has his baby die, has his wife die just before her dreams can come true, has his neighborhood ripped to pieces and is threatened with lawsuits and nursing homes, and who makes it to his adventureland only to have to kill his childhood hero who was the reason he wanted to go to south america in the first place. And everybody thought it was great. What a prozac sponsored message. Don't worry about your dreams kid, they will only give way to disappointing and melancholy realities.

Admittedly I am not a legal scholar, but it seems like if he would have robbed a bank of some cool billions he would NOT have gotten 150 year sentence. And there are murders who get sentences of like 50 years with the possibility of early parole. Plus, the prosecutor argued for 150 years based on what Madoff spent his money on, as if Madoff would have been somehow justified in stealing if he shuffeled it to overseas refugee camps or something. I guess I don't understand why they really wanted to pile on the years for a guy whose going to die in twenty, unless it was just to send a political message that the feds got their man, which is funny considering it was their pathetc oversight that failed to catch this scheme for YEARS.

Yahoos front page has a link to a new Gallop poll showing 51% of Americans are pro-life, while pro-choice supporters shrank to 44%.

If this trend continues will dem reps start shifting their stances on abortion, or do you think they will stick to what they call "principle"

Is it the raw materials? The labor?

If it is the raw materials, what specifically? Is the lumber the majority of the cost or is it the utilities like wiring and piping?

Who gets the least taxed? People who are US residents but not citizens, or US citizens who live over seas?

So a couple months ago Obama triedd to convince us that bailing out the auto industry was the way to go- bankruptcy was not an option.

Now he's telling us that a chapter 11 is a good thing, that this IS the way to go.

What's changed from then to now is that after the governent bailout, the auto union stands to benefit a TON more in the bankruptcy procedings, and they may end up owning over half the company.

I'm suggesting that Obama and his staff knew bankruptcy was virtually inevitable, but sold the American people on a bailout to disguise handing the auto industry to the union on a platter. I think we are getting the deceitful politics as usual, and that hope for change is all but despair.

What do you think?

All the political talk is just that- talk. Why don't we put the apporaches of the left and right in a real world experiment:

Why don't we set aside a few states and make them virtually tax free-

besides a little for defense, roads ect. Cut them off from Social security , medicare and medicaid and let them use their own resources

to solve those problems. They would still be able to use the federal justice system and be under federal protection- the social programs

would just be independent. The rest of the US could function under the leftist agenda Obama is advancing- socialized health care, government intervention of business, ect, ect.

Then we could compare the two in terms of actual results and not just

"IF we di this, or IF we did that." We could settle which is better once and for all.

Argggggggggggg. I have a smoothscroll with mootools library. It smooth scrolls between anchor tags.

I want to be able to smooth scroll beteen the anchor tags of an iframe page from the parent page. With simple html you can move the iframe

from anchor to anchor with parent buttons/links BUT I CAN"T GET THE javascript smoothscroll to activate this way. For the love of all that is good, comeone please help. If I read one more forum link that doesn't

answer the question my head will explode!!!

Do you have to pay property taxes if you own land, but don't make any money.

(say a retired farmer or something)

I say 10 tp 1 he signs everything that comes across his desk.

I'm currently unemployed, and I got to thinking. If all this passes and Obama gives me healthcare, helps pay for my heating, gives me tax breaks to buy stuff, ect, ect, don't I pretty much have it made? I mean why should I work hard to move up in the world if I get all the perks at the bottom?

If someone took the position that money belongs to the government- as they print it, control it, ect- and that therefore the government could take it back as they wanted and in the amount they wanted, how would you argue against that?

There was an acient practice called the "year of jubilee" in which certain cultures would every now and then cancel all outstanding debts in order to allow their society to recharge and reboot.

what if we did that this once? If we could pull it off I think it might be an enormous jumpstart for the economy.

I saw this popping up on political forums. It's an article written by a voter who reasons his way to a picking a candidate purely from American principles in the Declaration of Independence.

I want to know what others think, especially about the writers views on the connection between God and government.
