  • How long will a unopened still sealed container of cottage cheese last?

    AE. In the US (Iowa to be specific so pretty close to where it is 'made', not sure if that has any effect, but I thought it was worth mentioning). I bought it last night at about 10PM planned on eating some, then if ell asleep on the couch watching a show. I woke up at about 7:15 am and realized my mistake. I really want some of that cottage cheese. I've found I have a strong immune system, but my mom always made me worry when something was out of the fridge for 2 secs which has always left me a bit paranoid. If you are going to quote the food safety recommendations, I encourage you not to (2:30 I believe it said). I think we all know that those standards are a bit insane and are made to group a 100 year old and a 20 year old in the same category. So 25 yo here, probably going to eat it no matter what unless smell/taste is funky. Just wanted to hear some input before I'm possibly throwing up for a couple of days. A little more info: my apartment is set at 70 degrees F, the item was on a tv tray about a foot away from a sliding glass door that isn't that great at keeping out wind but okay, and last night was probably around 40 maybe give derees.

  • Which PS3 game should I get?

    I want a new game, I find myself playing way too much Nazi Zombies. I am thinking of either Crysis 2 or Dead Space 2. If someone has played both please give me some direction. I have CoD:BO, Killone3, Dragon Age 2, LBP2, etc. Please just recommend newer games. I love FPS, but I also like RPG, RTS ... pretty much any genre.

  • Question about Killzone 3 on Elite?

    So I beat Killzone 3 on easy to unlock elite mode (which I do on all games where the hardest mode has to be unlocked by beating the game). Now I went back to beat it on elite and I beat the first couple of chapters. I just went to "choose a chapter" or whatever it is called then I picked the first chapter so it displayed all of the sub-chapters and it says highest level complete is still easy even though I have passed all of the levels in the first two chapters ... hang on let me see what they are called ... I beat all of "A NEW BEGINNING" and "EVACUATION ORDERS" but they are showing up as only beat on easy. My question is do you have to beat these all in sequence? I played a chapter in between on easy for a friend, but it was at the end of a sub-chapter and I started back up right where I left off even though it was not from a save point. 25 minutes of my life wasted?? I will pick a best answer for advice. They have a good system of telling you what you have accomplished through each chapter(and subchapters within the chapter). When I played it on easy I re-picked chapters multiple times to get trophies that I missed and then would pick the latest chapter and I ended up with all of the tropthies. But there is really no "Completed the Game" trophy for easy. There is only trophies for completing chapters.

    So there is the background. Question:

    When beating Killzone 3 on elite (whatever the hardest mode is called) do you have to play through without interruption or can you, for example; beat the first chapter completely, start a new game play blah blah blah, come back and start from the very beginning of the second chapter and finish the game?

    Sorry for the long question, but I figured typing this out wastes hours of less time than finishing the game and seeing if I get the trophy.

  • So, I need a little help with force of interest.?

    I thought I got it but ...

    here is the problem

    A savings account uses the simple interest method for accrual of interest with an annual interest

    rate of i. In its eleventh year the fund earns an annual effective interest rate of 2.3%. Find the force of

    interest at the end of 1.5 year

    This question just seems like it needs more to me. If I could even just get some advice, I do not necessarily need the answer.

  • I need help with my dog learning tricks?

    Okay I have a pomeranian/papillon mix. I have had him for about two weeks, and he learns tricks pretty fast. So far I can have him sit, lay, and stand. My only problem is that when i pull out a treat and say "sit". He sits then one second later he goes and lays down before i even have a chance to say it.

    I am now trying to switch off. I will pull out a treat and say "lay" before having him sit, and it seems to be kind of working. Also, if i do the sit command first I won't give him the treat and we will do it over and over until he just sits.

    I bet in time he will learn, but I figured there are some experts that know more than me about the subject on Ask. So, should I just keep doing what I am doing or does someone know a better way?

  • Please help with vector calculus?

    If f is a continuously differentiable function, show how

    L(x) = integral(from a to b) : ||x'(t)|| dt

    may be used to establish the formula

    L = integral(from a to b) : sqrt(1 + [f '(x)]^2) dx

    for the length of the curve y = f(x) between (a , f(a)) and (b , f(b))

    Any help would be extremely helpful.

  • Can I get some advice on how to clean stitches?

    I got jumped this weekend and had to get stitches in my forehead and upper lip. They said I wasn't supposed to get it wet for 48 hours. It has been 48 hours now, and they are both covered with dried blood. I was wondering if someone has some advice for the least painful way to clean them up. My forhead hurts, but I feel like it will be easier than my lip. My lip is swollen to around three times its normal size, and it is super tender. I am supposed to get the stitched out on Wednesday, and I don't want to go in there with the wounds covered in old, dry blood.

  • Computer Programming in Python questions?

    I saw a similar question, and I am in the same boat. I am an actuarial science major, but I am forced to take the foreign language known as computer science. I actually find it pretty interesting, and I feel like I get it until I get these curve balls.

    So, I have 2 questions about how to write 2 programs:

    Question 1:

    Define the function pascnext(L)

    Function pascnext(L) returns a list made from L:

    1. L is a list of integers

    2. L is supposed to be a row from Pascal's Triangle

    3. The result should be a list of integers.

    4. The result should be the "next" row in Pascal's Triangle

    Hints:

    * Look up "Pascal's Triangle" on the web to see the

    pattern from one row to the next.

    * If L equals [], or L equals [1], then these are

    special cases (use an if statement to test for these

    cases an return the proper answer); see unit tests

    below for expected responses.

    >>> pascnext([])

    [1]

    >>> pascnext([1])

    [1, 1]

    >>> pascnext([1,1])

    [1, 2, 1]

    >>> pascnext([1,6,15,20,15,6,1])

    [1, 7, 21, 35, 35, 21, 7, 1]

    Question 2:

    Define a function pascrow(n)

    Function pascrow(n) returns a list:

    1. n is the "row number" for Pascal's Triangle

    2. Row 0 is the top of the triangle, which

    is represented as [1].

    Requirement:

    * Even though there is a mathematical formula

    to generate row k of Pascal's triangle, you

    MUST use pascnext to compute the answer for

    this problem.

    Hint:

    * in your function, put the line

    from pascnext import pascnext

    This will allow you to use pascnext(f)

    for some f in your definition of pascrow.

    >>> pascrow(0)

    [1]

    >>> pascrow(1)

    [1, 1]

    >>> pascrow(5)

    [1, 5, 10, 10, 5, 1]

    >>> pascrow(12)

    [1, 12, 66, 220, 495, 792, 924, 792, 495, 220, 66, 12, 1]

  • Did anyone go see the midnight showing of Bruno, and if so what did you think?

    I went and saw it, and I thought it hilarious. My face still hurts. I was expecting a very graphic movie, but ........ WOW, I mean WOW. I cannot believe this is only rated R. The graphic parts do not bother me, though, I think they are funny. The parts that I thought were the most disturbing were parts such as the one with the parents trying to get the acting gig for their children.

    I am just curious what people thought about it. Anything is fine.

    One more thing. I would recommend this to people, but if you thought Borat was graphic (wrestling scene) you might want to sit this one out. For anyone that isn't bothered by that stuff GO SEE IT!

  • How MUCH would someone pay for all of this on Ebay? (Xbox 360 and accessories)?

    27 games: Halo 2+3+wars, Gears of War 1+2, Madden 09, Fifa 09, Tiger Woods 08, Call of Duty 2+4+WaW, Battlefield BC+MC, Oblivion, Guitart Hero 2 and Rock Band and more

    Accessories: 2 controllers, 3 rechargable batteries (with one chord charger), 2 guitars, 1 microphone and 1 drumbset, HD cables, and A/C chord, Unreal Tournament 3 faceplate, headset, and an original Xbox wireless adaper (works fine)

    Console: there is something wrong with the console. Every 3rd time I turn it on it says play DVD instead of the game and won't start the game, so it is probable something wrong with the driver (fixable)

    I saw a similar post so someone please post some answers
