How can I solve the following problem?

Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\workplace\index.php on line 29





I'm using php 5, Dev-PHP and SQLite 3_3_8.

How can I solve the following problem?
Some sql data object class definition is not being found.


So check for a typo if none then


check your access rights and path to the data object on line 29





You know dictionary or schema paths depending on your site


implementation. When checking your paths be sure to follow access rights across any pipes (internodal channels).
Reply:you did not defined PDO class functions in page

How do I explain to my mother that I will not allow her to have my children with out my husband or I present?

I had a very rough childhood. My mother had a drinking problem%26amp; was often verbally and mentally abusive. Despite her failure as a mother, she seems to love my DD %26amp; DS very much. However, she has VERY outdated ideas and info on child-rearing and often questions my decisions(even though I have a degree in Child Dev). We feel very strongly about our children's routine and nutrition, but she seems to think we are too rigid. My mother lives several states away, so we only have to be around her once or twice a year. She thinks I'm "anal" b/c I don't allow her to babysit or take my children on outings w/o my DH or I present, especially b/c I allow my in-laws to have them often. I have explained that my in-law respects our wishes so she gets to have the kids, but mom still argues about it. We let her spend time with them, just supervised. I know mom wouldn't treat my kids like she did me, but she cant even go a day w/o having several drinks. How do I let mom know my feelings w/o hurting her

How do I explain to my mother that I will not allow her to have my children with out my husband or I present?
I think you've answered your own question: you just be very up front and honest with her. You can still be compassionate, but you must be firm - they are your children.





PS - what the hell is a DD, DS, and DH??
Reply:Your mom knows that you want your routines and rules followed, but she is still arguing with you.


She refuses to respect you as a mother. Whether or not she is "hurt" by the fact that you are trying


to be a good mother - something she clearly wasn't - really doesn't matter. What matters is that


you keep your kids SAFE, and you are doing that. I really wouldn't try to "explain" anything to


her. She knows the rules, and she argues about it all, so there's nothing to explain. Just tell her no!


If she doesn't like it, oh well. Quite frankly, I'm not so sure I would even allow the kids around her


*with* supervision, since she still drinks every day.





Good Luck

What is the name of my motherboard?
go to www.belarc.com and download it, run it, it will then tell you what board you have in
Reply:Motherboard.
Reply:Your motherboard is not identified in your post. Don't know where you got that info from, but in case it isn't from BELARC, check the link, download and run it for system info.





*IF* that fails to ID your motherboard your only other option is to contact your computer's manufacturer
Reply:CPU-Z is an application that will show you lots of info about your CPU, memory and motherboard, including the name of your motherboard.

Download, install, and it will tell you *everything* about your system, including motherboard manufacturer and model number. It's spyware free as well :)
Reply:motherboard do as the other suggested www.belarc.com
Reply:The simple way to find what type of motherboard you have is to remove the side case of your computer. Look at the motherboard and see if you can see a name. if not then look for a set of numbers. Some model numbers start with letters and end in numbers. Then after you have found that you can do a google search which will provide you with what type of a motherboard you have.

Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) in Hindus Scriptures (Only for my Hindu brothers)?

I) Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in Bhavishya Purana


1. According to Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 5 to 8.


"A malecha(belonging to a foreign country and speaking a foreign language)spiritual teacher will appear with his companions.His name will be Mohammad.Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Maha Dev Arab(of angelic disposition)a bath in the Panchgavya and the Ganga water(i.e.purifying him of all sins)offered him the present of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said,"I make obeisance to thee.O ye!The pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia, Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malecha opponents"


The Prophecy clearly states:(i) The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.


(ii)He will belong to Arabia.The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.


(iii)Special mention is made of the companions of the Prophet, i.e. the Sahabas.No other Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).


(iv)He is referred as the pride of mankind (Parbatis nath).The Glorious Qur’an reconfirms this


"And thou(standest)on an exalted standard of character"


[Al-Qur'an 68:4]


"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah,a beautiful pattern (of conduct)"


[Al-Qur'an 33:21]


(v)He will kill the devil, i.e.abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices


(vi)The Prophet will be given protection against his enemy


Some people may argue that Raja Bhoj mentioned in the prophecy lived in the 11th century C.E. 500 years after the advent of Prophet Muhammad(pbuh)and was the descendant in the 10th generation of Raja Shalivahan. These people fail to realise that there was not only one Raja of the name Bhoj.The Egyptian Monarchs were called as Pharaoh and the Roman Kings were known as Caesar, similarly the Indian Rajas were given the title of Bhoj.There were several Raj Bhoj who came before the one in 11th Century C.E.


The Prophet did not physically take a bath in the Panchgavya and the water of Ganges.Since the water of Ganges is considered holy, taking bath in the Ganges is an idiom,which means washing away sins or immunity from all sorts of sins.Here the prophecy implies that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sinless, i.e. Maasoom.


2.According to Bhavishya Purana in the Pratisarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 10 to 27 Maharishi Vyas has prophesised:


"The Malecha have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in the country.Before also there appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed; he has now again appeared being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance, the well-known Muhammad (pbuh),is busy in bringing the Pishachas to the right path.O Raja, You need not go to the land of the foolish Pishachas,you will be purified through my kindness even where you are.At night, he of the angelic disposition,the shrewd man,in the guise of Pishacha said to Raja Bhoj,"O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions,but according to the commandments of Ishwar Parmatma,I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat eaters.My followers will be men circumcised,without a tail (on his head),keeping beard, creating a revolution announcing the Aadhaan(the Muslim call for prayer)and will be eating all lawful things.He will eat all sorts of animals except swine.They will not seek purification from the holy shrubs,but will be purified through warfare.On account of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmaans.I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nations"


The Prophecy states that:


(i)The evil doers have corrupted the Arab land.


(ii)Arya Dharma is not found in that land.


(iii)The Indian Raja need not go the Arab land since his purification will take place in India after the musalmaan will arrive in India.


(iv)The coming Prophet will attest the truth of the Aryan faith, i.e.Monotheism and will reform the misguided people.


(v) he Prophet’s followers will be circumcised.They will be without a tail on the head and bear a beard and will create a great revolution.


(vi)They will announce the Aadhaan, i.e.‘the Muslim call for prayer’


(vii)He will only eat lawful things and animals but will not eat pork.The Qur’an confirms this in no less than 4 different places:


In Surah Al-Baqarah chapter 2 verse 173


In Surah Al-Maidah chapter 5 verse 3


"Forbidden to you for food are dead meat, blood, flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah"


(viii)They will not purify with grass like the Hindus but by means of sword they will fight their irreligious people.


(ix)They will be called musalmaan.


(x)They will be a meat-eating nation.


The eating of herbivorous animals is confirmed by the Qur’an in Surah Maidah,chapter 5 verse 1 and in Surah Muminun chapter 23 verse 21


3.According to Bhavishya Purana, Parv - III Khand 1 Adhay 3 Shloka 21-23:


"Corruption and persecution are found in seven sacred cities of Kashi, etc.India is inhabited by Rakshas, Shabor, Bhil and other foolish people.In the land of Malechhas,the followers of the Malechha dharma (Islam) are wise and brave people.All good qualities are found in Musalmaans and all sorts of vices have accumulated in the land of the Aryas.Islam will rule in India and its islands.Having known these facts, O Muni, glorify the name of thy lord"


The Qur’an confirms this in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 33 and in Surah Al Saff chapter 61 verse 9:


"It is He who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth,to proclaim it over all religion,even though the Pagans may detest (it)"


A similar message is given in Surah Fatah chapter 48 verses 28 ending with, "and enough is Allah as a witness”

Prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him) in Hindus Scriptures (Only for my Hindu brothers)?
I humbly request my brothers and sisters who has Hindu faith kindly visit following:





By: Prof. Pundit Vaid Parkash


Translated: Mir Abdul Majeed





***** The Last Kalki Autar (Messenger) that the Veda has foretold and who is waited on by Hindus is the Prophet Muhammed ibn Abdullah (saw) *****

I assure you you will be more closure to your faith Insha Allah.
Reply:At Propehts time there was one guy in Makkah who always come immediately after Propephet (pbuh) said something to someone. The guy wanted to say just the opposite. His name was Abu Lahab translated father of flame. He died a horrible natural death suffering....... Now we have the guy above named 'muhamaddlust...'. Expect his fate to be same unless he repent. What they have benifitted is nothing but their own doom..
Reply:It is quit unfortunate that majority of people who has Hindu faith have no access to real Hindu scriptures.


Same with our Christian brothers and sisters, they do not have access to original version of real Injeel (Bible) revealed to Prophet Jesus. Jesus (pbuh) used to speak Aramaic.


Now days there are no original Injeel available for their reference.

Reply:This only shows that Hinduism is more ancient than Islam. Don't try to convince us about your religon. It has 'indeed' purified the world by its acts of terror.





And for your kind information, malechas, according to the Bhagavata Purana are rascals who introduce and follow a so- called religon for the sake of satisfying their lusty material desires.





And no where in the Hindu scriptures is non - veg accepted proper food. The cow is most scared to the Hindus and never can any TRUE scripture say that eating cow meat is ok. It is infact one of the most greatest sins a person can commit.
Reply:hog wash.
Reply:Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)


--------------------------------------


I have read some verses in Veid, sacred book of Hindus. One of the key personality in them is "MOHAN MADDAN".





In sanskirat the extension of the letter "Noon" at the end of word is used sometimes without meaning or give the importance, or written in extended form, or making it proper e.g. in english "The" is used, say "The Man", so even if you exclude word "The", meaning of "Man" remains.





Similarly and by the grammitical rule and keep the history together, if exclude "Noon" from the word, (above it is written as "AN" for pronounciation, and equivilant to "Noon" in sansikarat)





Including "Noon" or "AN"





MOHAN MADDAN








Exluding "Noon" or "AN"





MOH MADD





Which is equivilant to the word in Arabic, "Mohamadd", saw.





However there are other names also which resembles with the name of Prophet Muhammad when literal gramatical convert is done, and secondly also mention there in the quality of Prophet Muhammad saw.


--------------------------------------...





Muslim Scholars Veiw of Respect


--------------------------------------...





Thats why Muslim scholars (in there law books) agrees not to remember the personalities of Veidas or mentioned in other sacred books of Hindus, with bad names, just a silence is better then to express any type of hatred.





Future Or Past


------------------------


Most interestingly about the question then why they dont understand! Simple answer is as most of the muslims, christians, jews and hindus etc. have forget the language and research of there own sacred books, therefore this a crisis which is seen in ordinary or civil levels. Among the intellectuals we all know what truth is, just some hides them, some manupulates and some deliver as it is.





--------------------------------------...





Prophet Nooh (Nuh) and Mosses (Musa) pbuh


--------------------------------------...





The main problem what we have seen is that they thought the prophesies of future as the fairy tales of past, in many instances. And made a perfect dream world.





For instance there is a personality of "Manu or Man'noo", and there is same history associated with as it is appeared in Quran or from other sources, "The Massive Storm" which some times called "Tufan-e-Nuh". Gramitically and Historically this is the same personality in sanskirat you call him Manu (Mannoo) or Nooh (Nuh), those who know sanskirat and arabic understand well what i am saying, but historical identity and story can be verified easily.





Same is the case with Prophet Musa (Mosses) pbuh, that he was thrown in the river by His real Mother, this whole incident is identical as mentioned in Quran. Please check.





--------------------------------------...





Most Interesting "Kaaba-The House Of Allah"


--------------------------------------...





The square building "Kaaba" is considered Holy in Islam. And all Muslims whenever and wherever they may be, when they use to pray they turn there face in the direction of "Kaaba", and to show the unity.





It is quite interesting that all hindu worship houses "Mandirs" are in the same direction of "Holy Kaaba". Question is why they keep this direction and what is history of this "Holy House" in common, never disclosed by the "Pundits".





--------------------------------------...





Hopefully I have not hurt anyone's religion, but this is what comparitive study of religions reveals, even to the beginner readrs as myself. There are other facts too which are common, but that would be too heavy, least is enough to investigate, either truth or not.





Please dont hesitate to correct.





Thnks
Reply:KEYUR, Hindu accepts mohd as one of the messanger, and Jesus too.





We believe then and there God will send his messanger to make people right.





There are so many messengers like this.





As u believe that mohd is the last messenger, we dont believe that and we expect more messengers to come.





Hinduism says that every one come from the god, part of god and god himself.





This is the major different between Hinduism and other religions.





We never say ours is the only path, though there is only one truth.





Hinduism is not adament or against any system or worship.





Personally I feel mohd Nabi is great master even ready to follow his words but not quiran. Because those things based on old period and environment.





I have so much interest in knowling more about sufism.





Why cant u be yourself.





From your quote they have played with the language.





There is no truth in it.





If u feel that Islam is better religion, fine.





Dont take support from other beliefs.





Please this is not to hurt you.





But trying to explain every hindu's mentality.





Most of people say that their religion is this, and never follow what it really says.


and they understand according their mind and not the truth.





Even though there is not much diffierence regarding the truth between Hinduism and Islam,





Still I want to be Hindu because It never force me to follow certain systems and ceremony.





I have got liberty to understand truth in my own way.





Neither I want to be converted or to convert others.





Thank you

a. .4586 b. .0526 c. .0170





I have a solutions manual but it doesn't include this question. Please give a step by step instruction how to get to the answer and I'll give you 10 pts. Thanks.

6.21. Help on statistical normal probability distribution problem?
Let X be the CBF, X ~ Normal(μ =74, σ = 16)


Let Z be the standard normal, Z ~ N(0 , 1)





To solve these questions you have to translate the values to standard units. My numbers are a little different because I did not round up or down any the z-scores and used software, MINITAB, to get the values for the probabilities.





a) find P[60 %26lt; X %26lt; 80]


= P[ (60 - 74)/16 %26lt; Z %26lt; (80 - 74)/16]


= P[-0.875 %26lt; Z %26lt; 0.375]


= P[Z %26lt; 0.375] - P[Z %26lt; -0.875]


= 0.646170 - 0.190787


= 0.455383





b) find P[ X %26gt; 100]


= P[ Z %26gt; (100 - 74)/16 = 1.625] = 0.052081





c) P[X %26lt; 40] = P[Z %26lt; -2.125] = 0.0167933


Game Development?

I am interested in Game Development.Very Comfortable with C/C++, graphics algos.Basics of Win32. Can do simple object Models in 3dsMax, Texture mapping, lighting etc. Started of with OpenGL. Doing Eng, 3rd year. How should i proceed so i can see myself in the Industry ??





Is it seriously neccessary to do a Masters in Game Dev??





Right now, what could i look into to get my first games up and running ??





For DirectX, should i be using VB .NET or VC++ ???

Game Development?
Others have pointed you to some good resources, so I'll address other issues.





Getting a degree from a video game school often has the opposite result than what you'd expect -- companies are often wary of hiring such graduates. Part of the problem comes from the reputation of some older video game schools, but the main issue is that companies want somebody more rounded. Getting a full Computer Science bachelor's degree provides with all of the intellectual horsepower you need to do games, but also to do much more, making you a more attractive prospect (similarly, a traditional art degree is better than a video game-specific art degree, because it shows that you're more well-rounded and learned the theory behind the art rather than just how to use Photoshop and 3dsMax). A degree is not strictly required, but if you have one or can get one it's a great help.





The biggest thing that companies will look at is your portfolio. That means you need to have several games under your belt and presentable (or many different pieces of art, for an artist). Even if companies didn't care about your portfolio, it's still a good idea to build one because there are a lot of things you'll only learn by doing rather than just reading about.





It sounds like you already have the basics under your belt. If you know or are learning OpenGL, I'd stick with that for now. You'll still need to pick up some DirectX for non-graphic bits (or another similar platform, like SDL), since OpenGL just does graphics (not input, networking, audio, etc). I'd start out with building simple games. Write clones of minesweeper, solitaire, pac-man, tetris, break-out, etc. While you're learning, don't worry about making your own unique games. You'll get there soon enough.





As for DirectX, you should definitely use VC++. If you want to try your hand at Managed DirectX, I'd recommend you learn C# and try out the new XNA Game Studio Express from Microsoft.
Reply:It sounds like you already know everything you need to know? You sure as heck don't need a college degree to tell you what you already know. I learned that the hard way. Just write some games man!! I hate DirectX. I write everything using OpenGL and SDL. Screw Microsoft.

6.25 Help on statistic normal probability distribution?

An experimenter publishing in the Annals of Botany investigated whether the stem diameters of the dicot sunflower would change depending on whether the plant was left to sway freely in the wind or was artificially supported. Suppose that the unsupported stem diameters at the base of a particular species of sunflower plant have a normal distribution with an average diameter of 35 mm and a standard dev of 3 mm.


a. What is the probability that a sunflower plant will have a basal diameter of more than 40 mm?


b. If two sunflower plants are randomly selected, what is the probability that both plants will have a basal diameter of more than 40 mm?


c. Within what limits would you expect the basal diameters to lie, with probability .95?


d. What diameter represents the 90 percentile of the distribution of diameters?





Answers at the back of the book:


1. .0475 b. .00226 c. 29.12 to 40.88 d. 38.84





Please show how you derived at the answer step-by-step.

6.25 Help on statistic normal probability distribution?
D ~ Normal(μ = 35, σ = 3)


Z ~ Normal(0,1) (the standard normal)





to solve these problems you have to convert all the statements to standard units. My answers will be a little different because I did not round my answers to use the standard normal CDF tables that I bet your book is using. I used software, MINITAB, to get exact values.





a) P(D %26gt; 40) = P(Z %26gt; (40-35)/3) = P(Z %26gt; 5/3) = 0.04779





b) the two flowers are independent so you simply multiply the probabilities together. For my work that would be 0.04779 * 0.04779 = 0.00228


based on the answers you provided you have 0.0475 * 0.0475 = 0.00225625





c)


From the standard normal tables we know that:


P(-1.96 %26lt; Z %26lt; 1.96) = 0.95





so....


P(μ - 1.96σ %26lt; D %26lt; μ + 1.96σ) = 0.95


P(35 - 1.96 * 3 %26lt; D %26lt; 35 + 1.96*3) = 0.95


P(29.12 %26lt; D %26lt; 40.88) = 0.95





the interval is 29.12 %26lt; D %26lt; 40.88





d) the 90th percentile is P[ Z %26lt; 1.28 ] = 0.90


P[ D %26lt; 35 + 1.28 * 3] = P[D %26lt; 38.84]


the 90th percentile for the diameters is 38.84 mm

Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in Bhavishya Purana











According to Bhavishya Purana in the Prati Sarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 5 to 8.


"A malecha (belonging to a foreign country and speaking a foreign language) spiritual teacher will appear with his companions. His name will be Mohammad. Raja (Bhoj) after giving this Maha Dev Arab (of angelic disposition) a bath in the Panchgavya and the Ganga water (i.e. purifying him of all sins) offered him the present of his sincere devotion and showing him all reverence said, "I make obeisance to thee. O ye! The pride of mankind, the dweller in Arabia, Ye have collected a great force to kill the Devil and you yourself have been protected from the malecha opponents."





The Prophecy clearly states:








The name of the Prophet as Mohammad.








He will belong to Arabia. The Sanskrit word Marusthal means a sandy track of land or a desert.








Special mention is made of the companions of the Prophet, i.e. the Sahabas. No other Prophet had as many companions as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).








He is referred as the pride of mankind (Parbatis nath). The Glorious Qur’an reconfirms this





"And thou (standest) on an exalted standard of character"


[Al-Qur'an 68:4]|





"Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah, a beautiful pattern (of conduct)".


[Al-Qur'an 33:21]





He will kill the devil, i.e. abolish idol worship and all sorts of vices.





The Prophet will be given protection against his enemy.





Some people may argue that ‘Raja’ Bhoj mentioned in the prophecy lived in the 11th century C.E. 500 years after the advent of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and was the descendant in the 10th generation of Raja Shalivahan. These people fail to realise that there was not only one Raja of the name Bhoj. The Egyptian Monarchs were called as Pharaoh and the Roman Kings were known as Caesar, similarly the Indian Rajas were given the title of Bhoj. There were several Raja Bhoj who came before the one in 11th Century C.E.





The Prophet did not physically take a bath in the Panchgavya and the water of Ganges. Since the water of Ganges is considered holy, taking bath in the Ganges is an idiom, which means washing away sins or immunity from all sorts of sins. Here the prophecy implies that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was sinless, i.e. Maasoom.





According to Bhavishya Purana in the Pratisarag Parv III Khand 3 Adhay 3 Shloka 10 to 27 Maharishi Vyas has prophesised:





"The Malecha have spoiled the well-known land of the Arabs. Arya Dharma is not to be found in the country. Before also there appeared a misguided fiend whom I had killed; he has now again appeared being sent by a powerful enemy. To show these enemies the right path and to give them guidance, the well-known Muhammad (pbuh), is busy in bringing the Pishachas to the right path. O Raja, You need not go to the land of the foolish Pishachas, you will be purified through my kindness even where you are. At night, he of the angelic disposition, the shrewd man, in the guise of Pishacha said to Raja Bhoj, "O Raja! Your Arya Dharma has been made to prevail over all religions, but according to the commandments of Ishwar Parmatma, I shall enforce the strong creed of the meat eaters. My followers will be men circumcised, without a tail (on his head), keeping beard, creating a revolution announcing the Aadhaan (the Muslim call for prayer) and will be eating all lawful things. He will eat all sorts of animals except swine. They will not seek purification from the holy shrubs, but will be purified through warfare. On account of their fighting the irreligious nations, they will be known as Musalmaans. I shall be the originator of this religion of the meat-eating nations."





The Prophecy states that:





The evil doers have corrupted the Arab land.





Arya Dharma is not found in that land.





The Indian Raja need not go the Arab land since his purification will take place in India after the musalmaan will arrive in India.





The coming Prophet will attest the truth of the Aryan faith, i.e. Monotheism and will reform the misguided people.





The Prophet’s followers will be circumcised. They will be without a tail on the head and bear a beard and will create a great revolution.





They will announce the Aadhaan, i.e. ‘the Muslim call for prayer’.





He will only eat lawful things and animals but will not eat pork. The Qur’an confirms this in no less than 4 different places:





In Surah Al-Baqarah chapter 2 verse 173


In Surah Al-Maidah chapter 5 verse 3


In Surah Al-Anam chapter 6 verse 145


In Surah Al-Nahl chapter 16 verse 115





"Forbidden to you for food are dead meat, blood, flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah".





They will not purify with grass like the Hindus but by means of sword they will fight their irreligious people.





They will be called musalmaan.





They will be a meat-eating nation.





The eating of herbivorous animals is confirmed by the Qur’an in Surah Maidah, chapter 5 verse 1 and in Surah Muminun chapter 23 verse 21





According to Bhavishya Purana, Parv - III Khand 1 Adhay 3 Shloka 21-23:





"Corruption and persecution are found in seven sacred cities of Kashi, etc. India is inhabited by Rakshas, Shabor, Bhil and other foolish people. In the land of Malechhas, the followers of the Malechha dharma (Islam) are wise and brave people. All good qualities are found in Musalmaans and all sorts of vices have accumulated in the land of the Aryas. Islam will rule in India and its islands. Having known these facts, O Muni, glorify the name of thy lord".





The Qur’an confirms this in Surah Taubah chapter 9 verse 33 and in Surah Al Saff chapter 61 verse 9:





"It is He who hath sent His Messenger with Guidance and the Religion of Truth, to proclaim it over all religion, even though the Pagans may detest (it)".





A similar message is given in Surah Fatah chapter 48 verses 28 ending with, "and enough is Allah as a witness".

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Prophesised in Atharvaveda





In the 20th book of Atharvaveda Hymn 127 Some Suktas (chapters) are known as Kuntap Sukta. Kuntap means the consumer of misery and troubles. Thus meaning the message of peace and safety and if translated in Arabic means Islam.





Kuntap also means hidden glands in the abdomen. These mantras are called so probably because their true meaning was hidden and was to be revealed in future. Its hidden meaning is also connected with the navel or the middle point of this earth. Makkah is called the Ummul Qur’a the mother of the towns or the naval of the earth. In many revealed books it was the first house of Divine worship where God Almighty gave spiritual nourishment to the world. The Qur’an says in Surah Ali-Imran chapter 3, verse 96:





"The first house (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakkah (Makkah) full of blessings and of guidance and for all kinds of beings". Thus Kuntap stands for Makkah or Bakkah.





Several people have translated these Kuntap Suktas like M. Bloomfield, Prof. Ralph Griffith, Pandit Rajaram, Pandit Khem Karan, etc.





The main points mentioned in the Kuntap Suktas i.e. in Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 127 verses 1-13 are:





Mantra 1


He is Narashansah or the praised one (Muhammad). He is Kaurama: the prince of peace or the emigrant, who is safe, even amongst a host of 60,090 enemies.





Mantra 2


He is a camel-riding Rishi, whose chariot touches the heaven.





Mantra 3


He is Mamah Rishi who is given a hundred gold coins, ten chaplets (necklaces), three hundred good steeds and ten thousand cows.





Mantra 4


Vachyesv rebh. ‘Oh! ye who glorifies’.





The Sanskrit word Narashansah means ‘the praised one’, which is the literal translation of the Arabic word Muhammad (pbuh).





The Sanskrit word Kaurama means ‘one who spreads and promotes peace’. The holy Prophet was the ‘Prince of Peace’ and he preached equality of human kind and universal brotherhood. Kaurama also means an emigrant. The Prophet migrated from Makkah to Madinah and was thus also an Emigrant.





He will be protected from 60,090 enemies, which was the population of Makkah. The Prophet would ride a camel. This clearly indicates that it cannot be an Indian Rishi, since it is forbidden for a Brahman to ride a camel according to the Sacred Books of the East, volume 25, Laws of Manu pg. 472. According to Manu Smirti chapter 11 verse 202, "A Brahman is prohibited from riding a camel or an *** and to bathe naked. He should purify himself by suppressing his breath".





This mantra gave the Rishi's name as Mamah. No rishi in India or another Prophet had this name Mamah which is derived from Mah which means to esteem highly, or to revere, to exalt, etc. Some Sanskrit books give the Prophet’s name as ‘Mohammad’, but this word according to Sanskrit grammar can also be used in the bad sense. It is incorrect to apply grammar to an Arabic word. Actually shas the same meaning and somewhat similar pronunciation as the word Muhammad (pbuh).





He is given 100 gold coins, which refers to the believers and the earlier companions of the Prophet during his turbulent Makkan life. Later on due to persecution they migrated from Makkah to Abysinia. Later when Prophet migrated to Madinah all of them joined him in Madinah.





The 10 chaplets or necklaces were the 10 best companions of the Holy Prophet (pbuh) known as Ashra-Mubbashshira (10 bestowed with good news). These were foretold in this world of their salvation in the hereafter i.e. they were given the good news of entering paradise by the Prophet’s own lips and after naming each one he said "in Paradise". They were Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, Ali, Talha, Zubair, Abdur Rahman Ibn Auf, Saad bin Abi Waqqas, Saad bin Zaid and Abu Ubaidah (May Allah be well-pleased with all of them).





The Sanskrit word Go is derived from Gaw which means ‘to go to war’. A cow is also called Go and is a symbol of war as well as peace. The 10,000 cows refer to the 10,000 companions who accompanied the Prophet (pbuh) when he entered Makkah during Fateh Makkah which was a unique victory in the history of mankind in which there was no blood shed. The 10,000 companions were pious and compassionate like cows and were at the same time strong and fierce and are described in the Holy Quran in Surah Fatah:


"Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other."


[Al-Qur'an 48:29]





This mantra calls the Prophet as Rebh which means one who praises, which when translated into Arabic is Ahmed, which is another name for the Holy Prophet (pbuh).








Battle of the Allies described in the Vedas.





It is mentioned in Atharvaveda Book XX Hymn 21 verse 6, "Lord of the truthful! These liberators drink these feats of bravery and the inspiring songs gladdened thee in the field of battle. When thou renders vanquished without fight the ten thousand opponents of the praying one, the adoring one."








This Prophecy of the Veda describes the well-known battle of Ahzab or the battle of the Allies during the time of Prophet Muhammed. The Prophet was victorious without an actual conflict which is mentioned in the Qur’an in Surah Ahzab:





"When the believers saw the confederate forces they said, "This is what Allah and His Messenger had promised us and Allah and His Messenger told us what was true." And it only added to their faith and their zeal in obedience."


[Al-Qur'an 33:22]





The Sanskrit word karo in the Mantra means the ‘praying one’ which when translated into Arabic means ‘Ahmed’, the second name of Prophet Muhammed (pbuh).





The 10,000 opponents mentioned in the Mantra were the enemies of the Prophet and the Muslims were only 3000 in number.





The last words of the Mantra aprati ni bashayah means the defeat was given to the enemies without an actual fight.





The enemies’ defeat in the conquest of Makkah is mentioned in Atharvaveda book 20 Hymn 21 verse no 9:





"You have O Indra, overthrown 20 kings and 60,099 men with an outstripping Chariot wheel who came to fight the praised one or far famed (Muhammad) orphan."








The population of Makkah at the time of Prophet’s advent was nearly 60,000





There were several clans in Makkah each having its own chief. Totally there were about 20 chiefs to rule the population of Makkah.





An Abandhu meaning a helpless man who was far-famed and ‘praised one’. Muhammad (pbuh) overcame his enemies with the help of God.








III





Muhammad (pbuh) prophesised in the Rigveda





A similar prophecy is also found in Rigveda Book I, Hymn 53 verse 9:





The Sanskrit word used is Sushrama, which means praiseworthy or well praised which in Arabic means Muhammad (pbuh).








IV





Muhummad (pbuh) is also prophesised in the Samveda





Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is also prophesised in the Samveda Book II Hymn 6 verse 8:





"Ahmed acquired from his Lord the knowledge of eternal law. I received light from him just as from the sun." The Prophecy confirms:





The name of the Prophet as Ahmed since Ahmed is an Arabic name. Many translators misunderstood it to be Ahm at hi and translated the mantra as "I alone have acquired the real wisdom of my father".





Prophet was given eternal law, i.e. the Shariah.





The Rishi was enlightened by the Shariah of Prophet Muhammad. The Qur’an says in Surah Saba chapter 34 verse 28





"We have not sent thee but as a universal (Messenger) to men, giving them glad tidings and warning them (against sin), but most men understand not."


[Al-Qur'an 34:28]

If Mohammad saw is a false prophet then..........?
He is indeed a true prophet of God. I found this interesting too: http://www.alinaam.org.za/library/hindu....





(Peace and blessings of God be upon him)





Edit - yes I agree, God has sent down so many signs but some people still ignore them and refuse to believe. May God open their eyes and guide everyone to the straight path InshaAllah.
Reply:Phrophesies are not all about good things, you know. Biblical prophets were always predicting disasters. Which Muhammed definitely was.
Reply:I am a Hindu, if you he is in my scriptures and you believe him to be true, then you along with other muslims must accept our other holy figures and prophets also in our scriptures such as Sri Krishna.


Stats-random samples?

Rayovac type D batteries "have a continuous use life" that is approximately normally distributed with mean 21 hrs. and standard dev 1.38 hrs. Duracell type D batteries have a "continuous use life" that is approximately normally distributed with mean 24 hrs and standard dev 2.13 hrs.





FIND THE PROBABILITY (to four places after the decimal) THAT:


[a]...a randomly selected rayovac lasts longer than a randomly selected duracell.





[b]...given simple random samples of four each, the rayovak batteries have a longer mean "continuous use life"





[c]...a single rayovak lasts under 22 hrs





[d]...the mean "continuous use life" of 4 randomly selected rayovak batteries is less than 22 hrs





[e]...the mean "continuous use life" of 16 randomly selected rayovak batteries is less than 22 hrs

Stats-random samples?
x=Rayovac :mu1=21 sd1=1.38


y=Duracell: mu2=24 sd2=2.13


a) p(x %26gt; y) = p(x-y %26gt; 0)


u=x-y has a normal distribution with mean -3, variance=(1.38)^2+(2.13)^2=1.9044+4.5369... or sd=2.5378


p( u %26gt; 0) = p(z %26gt; (0+3)/2.5378)=p(z %26gt; 1.1821)=0.119


b)n1=4 n2=4


H0: mu1=mu2


H1: mu1 %26gt; mu2


compute sd as


sqrt[s1^2/n1+s2^2/n2] -- (1)


same as (a) but use sd from (1)


We do not have the sample means here.


c)p( x %26gt; 22)=p( z %26gt; (22-21)/1.38)=p(z %26gt;0.7246)=0.2358


d)sd=1.38/sqrt(4)=0.69


p(x %26lt; 22)= p( z %26lt; (22-21)/0.69)=p(z %26lt; 1.449)=0.9265


e)sd=1.38/sqrt(16)=1.38/4=0.345


p( x %26lt; 22)= p( z %26lt; (22-21)/0.345)=p(z %26lt; 2.1)=0.9821

Stats questions PLease help?

Assume the heights if high school basketball players are normally distributed, For boys the mean is 74 inches with a std. dev. of 4.5 in., while for the girls the mean in 70 in. w/ a std. dev. of 3 in. At a mixed 2 - on - 2 tournament teams are formed by randomly pairing boys with girls as teammates.





On what fraction of teams would you expect the girl to be taller than the boy?








Which of the following has a Binomial model?





A. The # of people we survey untill we find someone who has taken Stats.


B. the # of people we survey untill we find 2 people who have taken Stats.


C. The # of people in a class who have taken Stats.


D. The # of aces in a five card poker hand.


E. The # of sodas students drink per day.

Stats questions PLease help?
Always set up problems like this by identifying your R.V.


Let X = height of guy and Y = height of girl such that:


X ~ N(74, 4.5)


Y ~ N(70, 3)


You need to find P(X %26lt; Y) = P(X - Y %26lt; 0)


So you also need to find the difference of Expectation and Variance.


E[X-Y] = E[X] - E[Y] = 74 - 70 = 4


Var[X - Y] = Var[X] + Var[Y] = 4.5^2 + 3^2 = 11.25


so the Standard Deviation is 3.354...


No that's not a typo, it's PLUS. The formula is actually Var[X - Y] = Var[X] + Var[Y] +2abCov(X,Y) but since we can assume that X and Y is independent (DUH!) then Cov(X,Y) = 0.





Using the formula for Normal Distribution:


P((X-Y-E[X-Y] ) / sqrt(Var[X - Y]) %26lt; 0 -E[X-Y] / sqrt(Var[X - Y]) )


= Phi(Z %26lt; -1.19)


= 1 - Phi(1.19)


= 1 - .8830 using the Normal Distribution table


= .117





So what does this mean?


.117 is the probability that in a team of a boy and a girl, there is a 11.7% that the girl will be taller than the boy. Put that in fraction form and you're done.








Which of the following has a Binomial model?


Answer:


C. The # of people in a class who have taken Stats.


Because a binomial model requires only 2 possibility/outcome, i.e. success or failure. Here, it's people who have taken Stats and those who haven't.





A. is geometric


B. is Negative Binomial


D. is Hypergeometric


E. is just silly...


9.73 Statistics on Large Sample Tests of Hypotheses?

How do California H.S. students compare to students nationwide in their college readiness, as measured by their SAT scores? The national average scores for the class of 2003 were 507 on the verbal portion and 519 on the math portion. Suppose that 100 California students from the class of 2003 were randomly selected and their SAT scores recorded as:





Verbal: Sample average = 499, Sample standard dev = 98





Math: Sample average = 516, Sample standard dev = 96





a. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the average verbal score for all California students in the class of 2003 is different from the national average? Test using alpha = .05.


b. Do the data provide sufficient evidence to indicate that the average math score for all California students in the class of 2003 is different from the national average? Test using alpha = .05.


c. Could you use this data to determine if there is a difference between the average math and verbal scores for all California

Reply:The second Question is easy. Binomial is looked at this way. You either are something or your not. so C and D are examples of this you either have taken stats or you havent. You either are an Ace or your not an Ace.





The first question is not worded very well. But your Null statement would be x1=x2 and your alternate would be x1%26lt;x2 this is where x1 would be the boys and x2 girls.


Unfortuantly this is where your stats book deviates from normal stats. It should ask for either a Confidence interval in which you would find (whatever data they want) or that just the plain question of can if be concluded that the boys team is taller than the girls with a (given confidence, usually .05) If your familiar with P values your p value is .00041308955. wish i could help more but the question is odd.

Linux [Ubuntu] Boot Problem?

ok not too long ago i finished the download and burning process of ubuntu for my laptop.


i decided to make the switch from windows to Linux.


i downloaded the iso and burned it to a CD using InfraRecorder


i put the CD in and it botted fine


a Ubuntu loading screen showed up and than the


Start/Install menu came up.


so i press enter to install it.


i get a error message that reads:





/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control tunned off


(initramfs)





i typed tty and it said /dev/console


im pretty sure its suppose to be /dev/tty


right? correct me if im wrong.


and if it is suppose to be tty how do i change it.





and i tried typing Break=top at the end of the boot options


at the install screen.


and than typing





modprobe piix


exit





i tried pressing CTRL + C did nothing.


any help would be great thanks.

Linux [Ubuntu] Boot Problem?
I would suggest to ask this question in forum http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-... People there would know better how to address this issue.
Reply:I have a hunch... there shouldn't be any problem in the installing period. Especially like this. I think, that the Linux Cd was damaged at the downloading, converting, or burning sequence. I think you should borrow an install cd, witch has been used before, and I'm allmost sure, that there will be no problem
Reply:Sounds like a video card issue, what are the specs of your system? You may need to go with Xubuntu instead.

I plan to develop graphical mathematical applications for simulations and calculation. Is C# on .NET 2.0 a good choice? I'm interested in Windows dev only and I wonder if performances are good enough for this type of applications. Also, what are my alternatives?

Programming language for mathematical applications?
I know of someone who wrote a labtools type program in C# and had great success - from that anecdotal evidence I'd say it's an excellent choice!

Multiple boot - XP, Server 2003, Linux Fedora Core 6 issue Please Help!?

I have XP, Server 2003, Linux FC6 installed. The problem is I don't want to use the grub boot loader, I want to use the windows boot.ini. When I installed Linux I did not want to write over the MBR for windows. Well I can't get into Linux to create a floppy and copy the boot sector to it like this:


$ dd if=/dev/hdb1 of=/bootsect.lnx bs=512 count=1


So I can point my boot.ini file to the linux boot loader which looks like this:


C:%26gt; attrib -s -r c:\boot.ini


C:\bootsect.lnx="Linux"


I have read thousands of articles and they all say the same thing. They say "Use the grub or get into linux and copy the boot sector". If anyone can help me do this I would really appreciate it. Again the problem is using windows boot loader and direct it to linux boot loader. Thanks

Multiple boot - XP, Server 2003, Linux Fedora Core 6 issue Please Help!?
Its a general preference that if there is a windows and a linux os installed in your machine, people generally try to configure /boot/grub/grub.conf file.





The very reason behind is that linux takes care of both the os carefully compared to the booting file of any other os.





in your case its boot.ini for windows.





If your grub.conf file is not working, then you wont be able to enter the linux os.





you will get a prompt showing :





grub%26gt;





Read the manaul of grub properly and then you will be able configure the grub to enter the linux os which will be followed by the editing of the grub.conf file in a proper sequence





To get the boot loader configured using the windows, simply boot your computer with the windows cd and you will find the option to configure for the dual booting which will change the settings at boot.ini after getting your feedback.











Happy Dual Booting !!

Are my grade good enough for UCI?
Your freshman grades will not be included in your UC GPA calculation. The improving grade trend will be taken into consideration. Good job taking community college courses, continue to do that to help boost your GPA. Commit to couple of clubs and community services, don't switch (long term commitment is favored). Apply to as many UCs as you can afford to optimize your choices.
Reply:Your grades are pretty good. I'm pretty sure you can get into Davis and Irvine, and maybe even LA. All that depends on what your SAT's are and if you have any extracurricular activities. Also, it is imperative that you write a strong personal statement. Good luck!
Reply:UCLA good luck on that!
Reply:UC's only take your 10th and 11th grade into consideration. I don't think they look at your freshmen classes but dont you need to repeat them?
Reply:UCR is guaranteed in my opinion





But I think your sat scores might sway the admissions decisioins as well, but if they are alright..





I think you have a good chance for UCI and UCD. UCLA though is unpredictable so you won't know until admission decisions in March!





But i have to ask, did you repeat the Fs %26amp; Ds from freshman year? Because you need to... to have enough units to transfer I believe. lol

Getting into a selective school with the class you got a A+ in high school...?

Hi :)


I'm interested in getting into a University that is located just 30 mins from me. It is a pretty selective school which is why I'm a little scared to apply to it because I don't know if I have a chance. I only have a couple of C's on my transcript and all the others are A's and B's. I want to major in Human Dev at UVM and turns out I did the Human Dev class last year in High School and I got a A+ in it (That is what it says on my Transcript).


Since I may not have the exact grades as a lot of people who go to UVM, do I have a good advantage since I got a A+ in that Human Dev class? OH! And I'm also going to a local career center for my Senior year next year for Human Services. Will that help also?





Thank you so much :)

Getting into a selective school with the class you got a A+ in high school...?
An A is an A to college admission people. It usually dose not matter what class it was in as long as it not an AP class or an easy class like art.

I need help with my statistics homework! Can anyone help? Not just answers, please explain!?

1. There is a 0.39 prob. that John will buy a car, a 0.73 prob. that Mary will buy a car, and a 0.36 prob. that both will buy a car. Find the prob. that neither will buy a car.





2. Find the prob. using the std. normal distribution.


P(1.12%26lt;z%26lt;1.43)





3. During October, the avg temp of Whitman Lake is 53.2 and the std. dev. is 2.3. Assume the variable is normally distributed. For a randomly selected day in October, find the prob. that the temperature will be as follows:


a. Above 54


b. Below 60


c. Between 49 and 55


d. If the lake temperature were above 60, would you call it very warm?





4. To qualify for officers' training, recruits are tested for stress tolerance. Scores are normally distributed, with a mean of 62 and a std. dev. of 8. If only the top 15% of recruits are selected, find the cutoff score.





5. The avg public school has 458 kids. Assume the std dev is 97. If a random sample of 36 schools is selected, find the prob. that the # of kids enrolled is between 450 %26amp; 465.

I need help with my statistics homework! Can anyone help? Not just answers, please explain!?
1.P(John) + P(Mary) - P(John)P(Mary) = 0.39 + 0.73 - (0.39)(0.73) = 0.8353 is the probability that at least one of them will buy a car. So the probability that neither will by a car is 1 - 0.8353 = 0.1647


2. P(z %26gt; 1.12) = 0.8686; P(z %26lt; 1.43) =0.9236, so


P(1.12 %26lt; z %26lt; 1.43) = 0.9236 - 0.8686 = 0.0550


3.a. P(x %26gt; 54) = 1 - P(x %26lt; 54) Calculate the z-value for P(x %26lt; 54):


Z = (x - µ) /σ = (54 - 53.2)/2.3 = 0.3478


The probability associated with z = 0.3478 is 0.636


So P(x %26gt; 54) = 1 - 0.636 = 0.364


3.b The z-value associated with P(x %26lt; 60) is Z = (60 - 53.2)/2.3


=2.96 and from the standard normal table P(x %26lt; 60) = 0.998


c. You do this using 2 and 3a and 3b as models.


d. The P(x %26gt; 60) = 1 - P(x %26lt; 60) = 1 - 0.998 = 0.002 This is a ver small probability, so you can conclude that the lake is exceptionlly warm.


4. For this problem you have to find the z-value in the table associated with 0.85 (probability of not qualifying) and then solve for x using the equation: Z = (x -µ)/σ


5. We don't know if the distribution of enrolled kids is normally distributed, so the central limit theorem will help.


For this problem you use the equation Z = (x - µ)/(σ/√n).


Find the two z-values 450 and 465 for x and you're given µ = 458 and σ = 97. Then find the difference between the probabilities associated with the z-values. Solve similar to 3c.


Fedora Core 6?

I am Installing Fedora Core 6, and in the installation process, it shows me my drives,, i have C:/D:/E:/F:





I am supposed to install it on D: but in the Installation is shows me drives like





dev/had


Extended:


de/sd5


dev/sd6


dev/sd7





I am Not Sure Which one of them is my D: drive, and it does not also show Space left so that i can come to know that this is my D drive,, Any help ,, D:/ Drive is Ful Empty

Fedora Core 6?
First Question: Fedora Core 7 is released, with improvements, so you should use it!





Drive topography, in depth: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_(...





Simple and basic explanation:





Basically, the BIOS determines that there can be only four PRIMARY drives (or, partitions).





So, the trick was to make an Extended Partition, and have upto 23 Logical drives in that Extended Partition labeled "D through Z", minus what is assigned to primary partitions and/or DVD/CDroms.





The letters are similar across the Operating Systems, but, some are dropped in some OSes.





Not a good idea for power users. Example:





/dev/hda1 /dev is the usual mount point directory in the 'Nixes.





/dev/hd is an IDE hard drive


/dev/sd is a SCSI or removeable USB or Firewire drive. /dev/sda2 would be the second partition on the first recognized SCSI or USB or Firewire drive.





/dev/hda would be the master drive on the first or primary IDE channel /dev//hdb is the second drive on the primary IDE channel.





/dev/hdc is master or primary drive on the second IDE channel


/dev/hdd is slave or secondary drive on the IDE channel





For USB or SCSI or FireWire connected drives, it is by order of plug in sequence. First drive would be sda, second is sdb, then, sdc, etc.





Your /dev/sd5 is the first Extended Partition Logical SCSI or USB, or Firewire Drive, followed by partition SD6, then SD7. All partitions on a single plugged-in unit.

Answer this questions:


-are u familiar with linux?


As a user, yes.


-are u familiar with Windows?


Yes.


-are u familiar with Open Source?


Yes...my husband talks about it constantly.


-what operating system is installed on your PC?


Linux


-What operating system do u prefer?


Depends on the circumstance. I like that linux is FREE. I like the goofy little games. I LOVE mozilla except that it's not having flash right now and its bug with popping up new windows ou can't scroll down in is making me love it less. Love the GIMP (of course, Mozilla and Gimp work on Windows too). And I like worrying less about viruses.


-w/c is easy to use and manipulate?MWin/Linux/others


Neither and both. Both are easy until there is a problem. Windows has a lot more that is automatic, so I guess I'd say windows. But it also crashes more.


Windows is easier on peripherals. Making DVD rom drive is causing us LOTS of problems on Linux.


-w/c is better in Graphical user interface?


Linux is prettier.


-w/c is more practical to use?


Again, depends on what your doing. Just depends on what you're used to, too.


-in comp. servers w/c is much better to use? Why? LInux. Windows gets viruses.


-what MWin is installed on your PC? What is MWin?


-what Linux version/distribution is installed on your PC?


Not sure,,,oh, wait, the big f makes me think fedora.


-what application did you often use in your MWin? How about in Linux? Oh, Mwin is Microsoft Windows. Anyways, I liked being able to use MWin to watch things requiring flash, and to play Yahoo Games (can't in Mozilla...doh). Used Notepad. When I worked I used Word (for some non work things too).


On Linux I mainly use KWrite, Mozilla, and the Gimp.


-In terms of speed w/c is better? Don't KNow


-in terms of cost w/c is cheaper? LINUX. Can't beat free.


-if you are a linux user, will u transfer to MWin OS? why?


Um, well, probably not becase we are poor.

-w/c is easy to use and manipulate?MWin/Linux/others


Windows %26amp; Linux are both fairly easy to use in most cases. Most people are used to Windows, but that doesn't make Linux any harder, just different.





-w/c is better in Graphical user interface?


Linux. Linux has two graphical user interfaces, Gnome and KDE. Gnome is slick, clean, and streamlined. KDE is more Windows-like, but with far greater control over the eye candy (the appearance of the windows, buttons, etc).





-w/c is more practical to use?


Both are very practical to use in a desktop enviroment. It simply comes down to personal taste.





-in comp. servers w/c is much better to use? Why?


Linux - It's easier to manage as a server than Windows servers are, and its much more reliable.





-what MWin is installed on your PC?


I used to have Windows ME, but dumped it.





-what Linux version/distribution is installed on your PC?


Kubuntu Linux 6 (uses the KDE graphical user interface)





-what application did you often use in your MWin? How about in


Linux?


In Windows: MS Office or Firefox


In Linux: OpenOffice or Firefox





-In terms of speed w/c is better?


Linux





-in terms of cost w/c is cheaper?


Linux - It's free!





-if you are a linux user, will u transfer to MWin OS? why?


Never. I moved away from windows and I'm not moving back again.





-if you are a MSWIN user, will u transter to Linux? Why?


I already have moved to Linux. Why?


....- Because windows is unreliable,


....- Windows very rarely gets updated (3 years, compared to every few months for most Linux distros),


....- Linux and all its software is opensource, so bugs are located and fixed by developers much quicker,


....- Linux uses advanced security which makes it much MUCH harder for any viruses or trojans to do serious harm.


....- Far less viruses and trojans exist for Linux in the first place.


....- Linux uses a package manager, which means that thousands of software titles can be installed from the web simply by browsing a categorised list of available titles and ticking the ones you want to install.


....- Most Linux distros are available on live CD, which means you can put the CD into the CD/DVD drive when the computer is starting and Linux will run entirely from the CD, without requiring installing. You can then evaluate it to see if you like it before deciding to install.


....- Linux is completely FREE! You don't pay for software updates or new versions or anything! It's all completely legal.
