Strange problem. I bought an external hard drive for backup last month.  When I connected my external drive, it did show up. However, when I work for sometime, I found the light of the external drive turned off by itself, then it did not show up any more. I then disconnected it and plugged it to my laptop again, the light was on again and it showed up again! What was happening?????

I found that there are a pair of numerical superscript at the IPA, such as 33, 21, 22 etc. What do these superscripts represent?

I tried to download photos from my Samsung to my PC. However, when I connected them together, nothing happen, no folder pop-up and I could not find any cell phone folder in my PC. What happen and how to get the photos.

I am planning a reading group for non-fiction (history, economic, philosophy etc.). But hard questions always stop me: How do we know that we have a correction understanding of the book if no expert around? Will our discussion still be worthy, and in what way?

I am planning to buy a telescope. I would like to know if the following one can see clearly the planet such as Saturn:

Magnification = 23x - 62x

objective = 50mm

focal length = 600mm

eyepieces 26mm and 9.7mm

For all Catholic: If someone wants to be single, does he or she has less blessing through the sacrement? What other sacrement does he or she can go through?

What is the name of the cartoon movie that all the animal cartoon characters wear blue uniform with the logo 'P'?

In evolution, we all know that it is not a linear path such as:

single cell -> fish -> reptile -> monkey -> human

It is rather a kind of branching tree of life to show common ancestor such as A evolved B and C, then B evolved D and E etc..

However, this kind of tree of life is still nothing more than a multiple linear process, we can still identify a single path from the tree, e.g. A -> B -> D or A -> B ->E in the above example.

So, my question is what exactly the difference between evolutionary tree of life and linear path BY THEIR VERY NATURES?

Thanks

Did/can scientists test the DNA of human bones and skull.

If not, how can they so sure that one is the ancestor of the other by simply measuring the physical appearance and dating?

is it just a matter of interpretation by placing the skulls in chronicle order? For example placing A, B and C in such chronicle order and interpret that A evolved B and C simply because they have something in common and something different?

Thanks.

Is there a kind of biological evolution neither macro nor micro?

Please give example with explanation.

Thanks.

How to become an expert of any subject (history, mathematics, philosophy etc.) by self-taught?

Evangelical Churches today always understand Karl Barth as a neo-orthodox theologian.

However, if I remember correctly, he himself reject this term. My questions are:

1. Did Barth formally separate himself from Neo-orthodox?

2. For what reason(s) did he reject ne-orthodox?

Thanks

I have just created my second yahoo email account. However it is so strange:

When I use my old email account to communicate, sometime the reply button is locked and I am not able to send message. Then when I logout and login again, I am able to send message.

Then, when I logout and login again, I am not able to send message again.

So, I have to login and logout several times in order to make my old email account work for normal communication.

I am quite tired with that I really want to delete the new account and use the old account normally again.

1. What might be the cause of this strange thing?

2. How can I delete the new account and keep the old one?

Thanks!

For those Catholics, can you give me a link for a document in Vatican Council II known as

"On Holy Communion and the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery Outside of Mass"

I have a hardcopy of VC II the basic 16 documents, but I did not find the above article in there.

Thanks.

My friend gave me 2 turtles with the same container and food. He said that he feed the turtles every morning. But this is the second day at my home and the turtles still refuse to eat even in water with similar temperature.

How to make the turtles eat again?

Thanks
