1 AnswerYahoo Answers4 weeks agoEarth's magnetic change?
Earth's magnetic fields are changing again, I know we're past due for it to flip again. However, I was thinking that perhaps our electricity generation, radio waves, etc. might have an influence on Earth's field, core, etc.

Do you know of any web site designed for smaller kids that shows a picture so kids know what to wear? Like a picture of a jacket when it's cold, long sleeve shirt when cool, a short sleeved shirt when warm. .

1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoRetirement from divorce - now split?
To split CA estate equally, one party kept the house and loan, while the other party was awarded an equal amount in retirement fund that gives a monthly income.
Now the spousal support needs to be recalculated, and one party says the retirement is income and should be listed, the other party says it should be excluded as income as it was awarded in the divorce.
What do you think? I have not listed which party chose what to minimize bias, it might not be who you think. Both parties have some other fairly equivalent income.
What do you think??

9 AnswersPeople with Disabilities1 decade agoHave you tried the new Apple Safari Browser for Windows?
I downloaded the new Apple browser for Windows today, and my first impression is "very fast"!!!!
It feels very smooth, but of course, options and controls are in the wrong place (until we get used to them).
So......., what do you think, is it good enough to take major share from Microsoft? Is this the first of a far reaching effort?

4 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoDSLR with remote pc viewing?
I have limitied mobility and need a digital SLR that I can place in unusual positions (like near the ground). But I need rig to view what the camera is seeing at all times on my remote pc. I might have to stay there for quite a while, and then I want to trigger the shot from the remote pc. By remote pc, I simply mean the short distance to a chair where I can sit and watch.
Any brands, rigs or ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

2 AnswersCameras1 decade agoDoes Mac software run on other Linux OS?
I've been experimenting with some of the free linux OS's, like Ubuntu. Especially Ubuntu with Beryl is very fun, and seems very PC/Mac like.
But what about installing other software?
Can I install "Office for Mac", or any other "for Mac" software (since Mac uses linux now).
