Why are internships always for college credit only? I'm out of school now and I've seen some internships I'd like to apply for, but I can't because I can't get credit for them.

They are?

I'm told to go for the experience, not for the credit.
 
I'm looking for a movie that I saw back when I was a kid.

It was three of four brother that got trained by a old master and then became ninja or something. At first they got warrior names and got psyched and the father said that's it's all crap from the insane old man. They also play all night Mario Bros in their room and when the parents arrive home, they got this alarm system with red light going on and they switch everything off to go to bed. I can hardly remember anything else.

Say you have the intentions of giving someone HIV. So say you draw some blood and you inject it into someone. Or say you already have aids but you sleep with ex or something to pass it off. If you get prosecuted, what degree of crime is that? Assault? Attempted murder?
 
That's .... scary.
Guess it's an attempted murder.
And, of course, you go to the fucking hell where hell's demons go when they behave like this.

There was a big case about that a couple years ago, where people were Injected with HIV blood at sex party's. This is what i found.

According to quantum mechanics, energy randomly appears in false vacuums. This energy quickly vanishes after a short time. The theory is that the universe is a giant long-lasting false vacuum that could vanish at any time.

Sounds like a load of paranoia to me, though. I:

Still not quite sure about how false vacuum works, but oh well. I've always figured that if there was the possibility of some universe destroying phenomenon out there, surely it would have already occurred and destroyed us by now. Just like if our LHC was going to destroy the universe, surely some other species elsewhere in the universe would have arisen and destroyed it already?

I was reading on Wikipedia that there is evidently a movement in the US to decriminalize such things. The administration claims that criminal law shouldn't apply unless the infected individual attempts to intentionally transmit the disease and succeeds in doing so. Personally, I can't agree with this attitude, except perhaps if the infected person did not know they were infected. If you show me a person who knows they are infected and engages in unprotected intercourse with a person who did not know about their infection, that just shows a completely reckless disregard for their well-being.

I think it's assault with a deadly weapon
 
Heat lamp in my apartment burned out the other day, is this something a tenant usually need to manually replace myself or something the landlord needs to do?

Quick google search took me to a 13-step checklist that involved some dirty work I'd rather not do :lol
 
Can someone tell me what the deal with 24hz playback with Blu Rays is? Does it have something to do with why movies look like they're running unnaturally smoothly on my PS3?

Sounds like something for the landlord.
 
I never use emoticons on my iPhone, so when people send them to me I have no idea what they mean unless it's a simple smiley face..

What is the first one in the second horizontal row, and the sixth one in that same row...

With the impending NFL draft, I keep hearing stuff like "Cam Newton is the next Jamarcus Russell".

I'm white, but this sounds racist to me. Why, other than being a QB and black, would be he like Jamarcus Russell?
 
I'm trying to remember the name of this animated cartoon series about college. It's right on the tip of my tongue and driving me nuts! I watched it probably 8-9 years ago and I want to say it was on either mtv or comedy central. The main guy was a pretty boring normal guy, there was a jock guy and a super nerdy guy. Loved the show and would love to watch it again!

JaMarcus Russell sucked, and so will Cam.

The first one is a kiss, although not a sexy kiss like (7,-1). This is more the type of kiss one would give to a family member.

The sixth one is an XP.

Hope this helps.
 
My friend has been receiving spam drug emails from my Yahoo account, and I'm suspecting everyone else in my contacts list is receiving the same. How did this happen and is there anything I can do to stop it?

Because Jamarcus Russell was picked #1 and sucked. And I guess people Cam Newton will suck too.
 
if i plug an RCA audio input into a mic line in using a y adapter, can i play sound through my laptops speakers from an external source?

Run a virus scan, change your password. Somebody got the password to your account, possibly via malware. Or possibly they guessed it, etc.

But it's blushing though. Seems more like a shy but potentially romantic kiss? I dunno, I only use basic smileys.
 
I have a weird problem with my laptop/PS3

I use PS3 Media server to stream .mkv files on my PS3, i do this from my laptop who has 2 HDD's inside, one for the OS and the other for data, i have a media folder on my 2nd where i place the files in

However when i use PS3 media server and try to acces that folder it shows nothing inside, i made a copy to my other HDD the one with my OS on it and there it does recognize it...

halp :(


So in short, why does my PS3 read files on one hdd but not on the other?
 
I'm writing a horror screenplay and I feel as though I'm finished, but it's only 25 pages...The normal screenplay length apparently is 120 pages. Am I delusional in thinking that I have at least 90 minutes worth of material?

Edit: I hope Gary is somewhere close by

Depends. A horror film could have a lot of scenes with people slowly walking down or something and contain very little dialog. So you wouldn't know until filming starts. And you could always add filler if needed.

So what? Eric Leaf sucked. Why not say he'll be the next Eric Leaf? They're making a comparison based off of skin color.

Ryan Leaf sucked and was psychotic. You'll never hear someone compare a potential draft pick to him. Jamarcus Russel was very impressive physically, which lead to his high draft, despite him having some glaring mechanical problems, and he wasn't/hasn't been able to achieve any success. Cam Newton could potentially have the same problems. What made him impressive in college are things that don't translate well to professional football.
 
Why is it that mild alcohol consumption makes me unable to sleep? I had two beers last night and couldn't fall asleep for more than 20 minutes or so.
