When you help someone do you ever think, "what's in it for me?"
Answers: 24 Views: 1722 Rating: 12 Posted: 12 years ago

No. The essence of good service is to provide it without any plus points in your favor, which is why I answer the foreign questions therefore not understood by most people here, therefore voted up only if the questioner knows what to do, and that too, only if the answer is satisfactory, and he likes to say thank you for the reply/answer. Otherwise not voted up or down by anyone. Happy with that. The element here is helping others. No ulterior motives, no karma points, just happy people!

how to find caller position and his location by using his mobile number
Answers: 1 Views: 343 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago

You cannot. Also given in another answer here. The mobile phones are ruled by the company policies about divulging information to third parties. Furthermore, the number is linked to the service provider example 077 dialog. The only way to find the caller is to report him or her to the police who will still not provide you with the address nor details, but they may then inform the caller that their service will be disconnected through the "Telecommunications Regulatory Commission" if such exists in your country. Violation of privacy arises. You can get your service provider to provide you "with a block message from caller" link which costs you so much per month. The callers on mobile phones are untraceable, which is a negative to the users of mobile phones for good reasons, and a positive for those who use mobiles for illicit purposes, i.e. drug dealers as well.

How am I delete my all information from a webpage?
Answers: 1 Views: 425 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago

You cannot unfortunately on a public webpage. If it is your own, you can always deactivate accounts or delete the profile which option is allowed within each application but subject to a 14 day to 3 month waiting period in case you change your mind.I find to my horror that every statement that I made on public websites is now recorded for posterity, even if you leave that specific site, and you have no more comments to make. Keeping silent is the most practical option because you would not know which web sites have their links connected with the web searches. One was Andrea "is trying to sleep!" which was made to a friend as a reply to his question!. :)

is it wrong to be gay at age 12
Answers: 10 Views: 1578 Rating: 7 Posted: 12 years ago

No it is not wrong, but I think you should keep your options open. Don;t take it for granted that you are gay at age 12, by doing so, you cut off all the other experiences that life may offer you in your choice of friendships with people of the other gender. You could turn out to be a bi-sexual? You are only just beginning your life, don't put name calling and decisions until you reach age 18 or more. I have heard of both sexes who turned straight because they found the love of their lives in the other gender.

what is priority mail and how does it work
Answers: 1 Views: 431 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago

Priority mail means it is sent on the first available service by air, or express over land,  and it costs three times the price of a regular mail delivery. Akin to a courier service therefore expensive, and confirms receipt at  the other end of the item sent by you. Also allegedly sent despite there being airline strikes and postal strikes :) etc..

HOW DO I GET A MUSIC CATALOG MAILED TO ME?
Answers: 2 Views: 472 Rating: 0 Posted: 12 years ago

Not in this day and age, its very expensive and to give you an example, there are over 2 million new singers on reverbnation.com for example, and zillions more on other websites globally. You could get your local music store to send you a particular artists' collection if you are an interested and frequent purchaser, but most info is now on the web. Global warming and all that, they are trying to reduce on the cutting down of trees = paper.

how is the time set?
Answers: 1 Views: 614 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago

Based on the Greenwich mean time which is the absolute reference.

Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was established in 1884 at the International Meridian Conference, when it was decided to the place the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England. And Why Greenwich?Per the web World Time Zones.

GMT is the mean solar time at the prime meridian (the line of longitude where east meets west), which runs through Greenwich in the UK. GMT is measured from midnight, so the new day begins at 0000 GMT and the time six hours later would be expressed as 0600 GMT. "Mean solar time" refers to the local time on the prime meridian, using the hypothetical rather than the actual position of the sun. The earth does not orbit the sun evenly, and its axis is tilted in relation to the sun. In the course of one solar day, the earth spins once on its axis and it takes 365 days to complete one full revolution of the sun. However, the relative position of the sun varies throughout the year. At particular times it apparently slows down or speeds up - shortening and lengthening the day by up to 16 minutes. That's why we need to use the average (mean) day length and a hypothetical mean sun when calculating GMT.

Prior to 1925, GMT for sailors and astronomers was measured from midday, while the "civil day" began at midnight. This civil time was also known as GMT, which made for much confusion! In 1925 it was agreed that the two GMTs should be synchronised. Time was thereafter measured from midnight to midnight.

what is parallelism in the sense of a paragraph?
Answers: 1 Views: 3037 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago

Parallelism is when the same idea is conveyed with different words in the same sentence.

Some examples of parallelisms

"He's quite a man with the girls. They say he's closed the eyes of many a man and opened the eyes of many a woman."
(telegraph operator to Penny Worth in Angel and the Badman, 1947)

"They are laughing at me, not with me."
(Bart Simpson, The Simpsons)

Donkey: I don't get it, Shrek. Why didn't you just pull some of that ogre stuff on him? You know, throttle him, lay siege to his fortress, grind his bones to make your bread? You know, the whole ogre trip.
Shrek: Oh, I know. Maybe I could have decapitated an entire village, put their heads on a pike, gotten a knife, cut open their spleens and drunk their fluids. Does that sound good to you?
Donkey: Uh, no, not really, no.
(Shrek, 2001)

  • "The sandwiches were stuffed with alfalfa sprouts and grated cheese, impaled with toothpicks with red, blue, and green cellophane ribbons on them, and there were two large, perfect, crunchy garlic pickles on the side. And a couple of cartons of strawberry Yoplait, two tubs of fruit salad with fresh whipped cream and little wooden spoons, and two large cardboard cups of aromatic, steaming, fresh black coffee."
    (Thom Jones, Cold Snap, 1995)
  • More on the web on faulty parallelism as well. I am glad you enjoy English. Express it :).

Jesus christ was born without father so He is called son of God while Adam was born without father and mother , why He has not been called son of God
Answers: 14 Views: 2053 Rating: 1 Posted: 12 years ago

Because he was an ass.. The man believed in Eve!. That does not make any man a God as long as they believe in anyone but God!. And if he believes that an apple can make him omnipotent, it proves that he was even more of an ass :).
