What song is this that I heard on the radio?
Hey,
I just heard this song on some radio station...
It was some African song which was by a band that was something like Junk and the boo boo gang and was called something like Nureongi (I'm only speculating.. It sounded something like NOO-ROONG-EEE)... It had references to the BBC, CNN, Al Jazeera and so on....!
1 AnswerRadio8 years agoWhich Laptop Should I buy?
Hey,
I posted similar threads before. I'm buying a laptop for grad school in the US and need a laptop that "may" be used for High Graphics Rendering, sifting through huge image databases etc. I will play skyrim on it (at a high resolution I hope) and some other stuff as well and oh yes, need to read books on it too. I suffer from early onset glaucoma and would like a good screen that wont make me blind too quickly. I mainly need it to replace my current desktop which has an i5 2400, an ATI 6670, 8 GB RAM and a behemoth 24 inch screen.
My current finally decided options with pricing are:
An HP Dv7t customized with a 650M GDDR5 Card, a 9 cell and a 1920x1080 screen (comes pre-built with a 1600x900) for approx $1200.

An HP Dv6T with a 650M GDDR5, 1920x1080 and a 9 cell for $1100.

A Lenovo Y580 with a 660M, 1920x1080 and a 6 cell for $1111

An Acer Aspire V3-771G-9875 with a 650M, 1600x900 and a 6 cell for $900
http://gaminglaptopsunder1000.net/acer-aspire-v3-7...
And a few from Medion Erazer and Asus and MSI which are beyond my budget which barely touches 1000 but I can extend it by starving for a few days to 1100 or so.
What do you'll think I should buy??? I'm purchasing it when I go to the US for my studies so if you know any offers there, please help me as well...

4 AnswersOther - Society & Culture10 years agoI need a databank of retina scan images...?
Hello,
I'm an undergraduate student at Mumbai University. I'm writing a paper on retinal scanning techniques using dct, fft techniques etc. I'm currently in a big mess because I do not seem to have a comprehensive amount of images on whom I can test my programs. If you could possibly provide me with a set of retinal scans corresponding to a group of people, I would be most indebted. Also, I would most certainly credit you in my paper. If you can provide me with something of the sort, please do reply. Thank You very much.
1 AnswerScanners10 years agoMy Dad Is Sick. Please Help me!?
My dad has been a drinker for most of his life. He has had diabetes for the past fifteen odd years and high blood pressure. Recently, he became quite oddly obese and had to go to the doctor who told him he had liver problems that had lead to liquid being accumulated in his stomach that was making him obese.
My dad would often talk incoherently when drunk. Two days ago he was admitted into a hospital and the medicines dried up the liquid in a mere day or so. However, hesuddenly started talkin more incoherently even though he wasnt drunk when he would lie down. The doctors said it was because oxygen wasnt reaching his head and they put him on oxygen.
However, it didnt get any better coz he would try n pull out the cords. Today, they admitted him into a hospital and put him on artificial respiration. They say it is because of ammonia building up and withdrawal symptoms and they are trying to clean the gases out.
My dad is my only friend in this world. I can't imagine living my life without him. Can someone tell me is he going to die because of this... or is there a good chance of recovery. I'm very scared right now and I want some guidance.

2 AnswersHigher Education (University +)1 decade agoWas this Chick rude to me? Or was I the one being rude? Or is every White person like this?
I live in Mumbai, India.....
So I was going home after this really boring dinner at around 1 a.m. and stopped for some cigarettes.
And there was this white lady ahead of me and she was buying some too. And I was standing right behind her because there was only one window.
So she's done and she wants to go. THere's one guy ahead of me and she said excuse me and he moved n I was right behind him and she said excuse me too. Now I (as I usually do) moved away and said "Go Onn".........
Now she walked ahead and after a second or so turned around and said "Piss Off Buddy".......
Now was there some kind of weird custom or something that I didn't follow or was it the "Go On" part............but what on earth seems wrong here to warrant that invective?
<i'm not a rude or abusive guy and infact most of my friends consider me rather calm....and I'm coming to study in the US after some time and I;m wondering.......are all white people like this?
