This is a question in my computer programming class's homework. I'm not asking for the answer, as that wouldn't really help me other than getting this one question right. I don't understand what it's asking (I've in fact been considering dropping the class because I feel like I'm missing a lot of basic stuff) and I don't know how to go about answering it. Can anyone help me?

A friend of mine has gone under a lot of stress recently. His parents are kicking him out short notice and his job is completely overworking him. Just this morning he was called in early at a moment's notice.

While he's at work, he asked me to do some research on electric cigarettes. He made a promise to me that he wouldn't pick up smoking cigarettes again, but he wants something to help with his stress. Right now he's smoking the occasional cigar, and he had an electric cigarette from a convenient store, which was supposed to last for two packs but didn't last one day (he doesn't smoke that much, he used to go through a pack in about a week).

What would be a good replacement cigarette he could get?

Posted this the other day but got no feedback. Hopefully today will be more productive.

*My original lineup was pretty fiend heavy so this seemed like a good tech choice that I could pull out randomly. However, if I drop the Wall of Illusions and/or Greater Maju Garzetts, she doesn't seem as useful.

**Not a main focus of the deck, but if I'm going to be running a 2500 that I typically just set, GMG seemed like a good idea if I could stall my opponent the set turn and I didn't have anything to swap GK over.

Suggestions are welcomed, but please don't just comment that cards are bad or useless without explanations or recommendations. My main concern is whether I should keep the Kozaky build, or should I drop Kozaky and focus more heavily on Giant Kozaky burning as soon as possible.

I had an idea to build a deck based around burning my opponent through Giant Kozaky. Can I get some feedback and opinions on it? Ratings and fixes are more than welcome!

Cards I may add in to replace drops:

More Compulsory Evacuation Devices

Scrap Iron Scarecrow

Magic Cylinder

Mirror Force

Ceasefire

Great Maju Garzett

Give and Take

Monster Reborn (though it doesn't seem like it helps the deck much)

It's mainly focused on burn and control, though if I keep Kozaky or drop them for three Great Maju Garzetts I could still theoretically beat down pretty well.

Let's say, my opponent has a clear field (at least for monsters). I have a card along the lines of Enishi, Shien's Chancellor or Chaos Sorcerer - cards that can only activate their effects if they don't attack. If I attack with that monster, and they activate A Hero Emerges - or any sort of effect that resets an attack to allow it to attack again/differently/not at all. Does this still count as that card attacking? To my understanding, the rulings state that I can choose, say, not to attack with that monster, I can attack with a different monster, and then again with the first monster. So, could I theoretically attack with Enishi, and my opponent successfully Emerges a stronger monster, call off the attack, go to Main Phase 2, and activate Enishi's effect? Or does the reset declaration still count as an attack? If the former is true, could this extend to things such as Swift Scarecrow, Battle Fader, negate Attack, etc? In this situation, I do not think it wold apply, since the attack is negated rather than undone. Are there any official rulings, or do we just have to use the sheer force of logic to argue which ruling applies?

I'm interested in getting a copy of Thus Spoke Zarathusta, and I want an edition that's truest to Nietzsche's meaning. Since I don't know German, I wanted to know which translation would be best. I know Kaufmann is the most famous and widely accepted, but I've read (albeit in Wikipedia) that Clancy Martin had a few criticisms of Kaufmann's work, like "changing punctuation, altering literal and philosophical meanings, and dampening some of Nietzsche's more controversial metaphors." Is Kaufmann's version still the superior, or should I consider getting Martin's?

I've got Magic Work Station to play MtG online. I was wondering if there is anything similar for YGO online? I don't want to use Konami as they charge you to get the cards. I've tried BYOND (complicated, doesn't seem to have all the cards) And YGO Virtual Desktop (seemed promising, but then because I had a router it seemed impossible to get to work)

I've heard that MWS is working on a YGO expansion. How complete is this, and where can I get this? Or is there a better way/place to play online? Or a simple way to get Virtual Desktop to work?

This is my current fiend deck:

Monsters:

Spear Cretin

Dark Mimic LV 1 x2

Dark Mimic LV 3

Giant Germ x3

Night Assailant

Spirit Reaper

Archfiend Soldier

La Jinn the Mystical Genie of the Lamp x2

I have a few other cards like Tribute to the Doomed, another Necrofear, the rest of a full set of Dark Mimics... If my other cards that I've considered putting in my deck are important, I'll add them in extra details.

Other cards I've recently ordered and am waiting for them to arrive:

2 Newdoria

1 Gorz the Emissary of Darkness

1 Dark Ruler Ha Des

1 Bottomless Trap Hole

2 Hate Buster

2 Grave Squirmer

2 Enemy Controller

3 Double Summon

1 Slate Warrior

I'm not averse to getting more cards, but I would MUCH prefer to either limit them to commons or cheap rares or ideally just use what I have.

Okay, so, I'm technically still in high school (right now is the end of my Junior year) but my school has a dual credit program, so I'm also enrolled in a local community college. Last summer I took Psych 2301, and this year I took English 1301 and 1302. These classes also counted as high school Psych and English 4 (dual credit). This summer, I'm planning on taking Government and Economics at said college for dual credit, as well as in the fall, I plan on signing up for Bowling and Anatomy & Physiology dual credit. However, in addition to these, I'm trying to get approval to take ENGL 2307 (Creative writing) and PHIL 2303 (Logic) as college credit only classes, as my district doesn't accept these for high school credit. Between the four, it's going to cost upwards of $400, as well as similar pricing of classes in the spring. I hadn't thought it was so bad, but when I told my mom she started freaking out.

I'm (currently) Valedictorian of my class of 560 (again, only a Junior, not locked in) and my GPAs are 3.98/5.28 unweighted/weighted. My most recent SAT scores came out 2040 (trying to improve that some) and I'm in the running for a National Merit Scholarship, but that won't kick in until I get to the college I plan on attending after high school. If it's of any relevance, I'm Asian and live in Houston, TX.

I wanted to know if there were any scholarships that I could get for the classes I plan to take so my mom would relax and just let me take what I want. It doesn't need to be the full thing. It would be nice, but anything to lower the price to something my mom could handle would be great. Though, I'm also concerned if taking scholarships/grants right now would negatively affect my chances/abilities of getting scholarships when I attend college full time.

My friend is 19 years old. His (ex)girlfriend is 17 years old. The only reason they stopped dating was because her parents didn't want him to see her anymore. They've threatened that if he attempts to contact her, they will file a restraining order.

From the research I've done, the age of consent in Texas (where we all live) is 17, the age of majority (adulthood) is 18, and you need to be able to prove abuse in order to file a restraining order. He has neither abused no stalked her while they were dating or after they broke up.

Is it within her parents rights to say he is not allowed to see or speak to her? Would they really be able to file a restraining order if they made contact?

Okay, so, I'm in a South Asian family (born, blood related). My dad was born in India, my mom in Bangladesh. However, because of a joke my dad said that the nurse took quite seriously, my birth certificate reads "Human" under race. Is there any sort of scholarship for me because of this? Am I still able to apply as an Asian for grants and stuff? Did my dad screw me out of money for college?

I've got a Netgear WGR614v6 router that I need to reset because I cannot figure out what my parents set as the password. I need either a way to find the password, or, from what I've read online, before resetting a router, there's certain information from my ISP I need to have. I want to know, what information is this that I need, and where can I get it from?

Does anyone have much actual, reliable, referenced information on the fear of long words? At the moment, I'm not even sure of the proper term for it.

sesquipedalophobia

This seems like it would be the more likely term for it, literally meaning "a foot and a half long words fear."

However, it's more commonly called:

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Hippopoto- is claimed to mean "big" due to its allusion to the Greek-derived word hippopotamus (though this is derived as hippo- "horse" compounded with potam-os "river", so originally meaning "river horse"); -monstr- is from Latin words meaning "monstrous", -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel; -sesquipedali- comes from "sesquipedalian" meaning a long word (literally "a foot and a half long" in Latin), -o- is a pseudo-Greek noun-compounding vowel, and -phobia means "fear".

I have to do a presentation, and I was hoping to do this phobia. However, I need accurate, dependable information that I can reference - which means no wikipedia (by teachers orders). Can anyone help me out?

I use Avast! anti-virus, the home edition. I just a minute ago updated, but the problem still persists. Whenever I plug anything in like an MP3 player, a flash drive, my cell phone (in Mass Storage mode) my Anti-Virus pops up, telling me there's a worm. At first, I thought it actually was a virus on my old USB drive, so I tride deleting the "virus", moving it to the chest, renaming it, etc. However, a few seconds later, it would just pop up again. The same for when I hit no action.

I was pretty sure something was wrong when the same thing happened to my phone (a Samsung Beat) and now I'm certain, as I just ordered a micro SD card in the mail that came with a USB attachment, all still in its original package, and the warnings still persist.

Right now, the virus it's telling me is this:

File Name: F:/autorun.inf

Malware name: BV:AutoRun-G [Wrm]

Malware Type: Virus/Worm

(And if it's of any relevance)

VPS version: 090505-0, 05/05/2009

Lately I've just been hiding the message in the corner so to not deal with it, but is there any way I can fix this from coming up? Or am I completely wrong and are all my items somehow infected (I believe with the same "worm")?

My computer tells me that my USB ports are all 1.1, and that my transfers will be slow. I thought I had to buy a set of hubs and have those installed, but when I went to talk to my regular computer-guy, he told me that I just had to install a Service Pack to get it updated.

Is this true? If so, where can I get this update? I tried downloading the Service Pack I was pretty sure I needed from Microsoft, but I'm a Mozilla Firefox user, and they want me to have a new, updated version of IE to get it.

Do I have to buy more hardware, or can I get an update from somewhere to make it work?

I tried the site m3adapter.com and all it gave me were several links to various websites which I'm not familiar with. A few of them even came up as closed down.

Where is a good, reliable place where I can find this for a decent price? I may order the SD chip separately or with it, depending on how much it is. I'm not entirely sure what the rumble pack or rumble-RAM pack does, so I'm not very interested in paying extra for that.

Can anyone help?

I have other cards, if those would be much help at all. Though most of those aren't that great (I think) or are illegal. I'd rather have a legal deck, if possible. I also don't use Syncro monsters.

I'm trying to make the best Six Samurai deck I can, but if you're willing to help make a decent second throw-together deck as well, I thank you all the more. All help is appreciated!

I have an older TV, brand Sanya, do not know the model. The remote control it comes with has "FXVF" on the bottom, under the name.

Both on the front and in the back of the TV are A/V IN ports. However, when I plug anything into them, it doesn't come up on the television - am I doing something wrong, or can this be fixed?

I have an older television, probably about seven years old or so. For the most part, it works perfectly fine. However, the A/V in slots, one set in the front and the other in the back, don't seem to work. I'm trying to see if I'm doing something wrong or if it can be fixed at home, or if I'd have to do something else to get it to work. I don't know what the model of the TV is, or whatever, but it's a Sanyo, and on the remote it came with, under the brand name, it says "FXVF" if that means anything to anyone. It has an older A/V cable set up, not an S-Video. The main reason I'm asking this is because I've recently purchased a Gamecube after my old one, as well as my old DVD player, got stolen. I've still got the A/V cord for it, though, but before I had it hooked up to the DVD player. I'm not sure - as I'm not the one who set it up - but I believe the DVD player was connected to the television with a cable cord, and the Gamecube, as well as our Comcast DVR, were hooked up to that. Now, we've got the DVR hooked up to the TV with the cable cord, and there's a space for AV in the front of the DVR, but those aren't working either, or at the very least I don't know how to get them to work.

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
