A. Day after day on this forum, we are subjected to the following labels: Selfish Greedy Baby Buyers Ethically marginal Infertile (as though it were criminal) Adopters Abusive/Child Molesters/Murderers If we express the negative feelings generated by these words we are asking to have more negativity thrown at us. As for me, I let the negativity roll off and look for where the learning and insight can be found.

How do you convert negative decimal value to binary representation?
Q. What is the 6-bit signed binary value of the decimal number -31? Can someone show me how to do this. I know how to covert positive decimal value to binary, but I don't know how to do negative numbers. Would I just put a negative sign in front of the answer ?
Asked by SpongeBob - Tue Jan 13 16:07:24 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. In computer systems, obviously putting a negative sign in front of it won't mean anything. Afterall, computers understand 0 and 1, not -. In order to get around this little issue, number of encoding schemes were created. The one used in modern computers is called "two's compliment". in a 6 bit signed binary number using two's compliment: 1 1 1 1 1 1 = -1 1 1 1 1 1 0 = -2 1 1 1 1 0 1 = -3 1 1 1 1 0 0 = -4 1 1 1 0 1 1 = -5 1 1 1 0 1 0 = -6 ... and so on An easy way to quickly convert a postive binary number to a negative using two's compliment is to subtract one, then flip all the bits: 0 1 1 1 1 1 = 31 Substract 1: 0 1 1 1 1 0 = 30 Flip all the bits: 1 0 0 0 0 1 = -31 (NOTE: You can also flip all the bits then ADD 1.)

How do I dispute negative items on my credit report?
Q. I have one negative item on my credit report. How do I dispute this item? I have heard that if you dispute an item and that particular company does not acknowledge it can be removed from the report all together. Is this true, and how do I go about doing this? The negative item is from Mac Tools Distribution, if that will help. There is an address on my report although there is no phone number. Do i need to call them, or a different source?

A. Big O... You have to write or type ( I cant remember which one)the credit reporting agency a formal letter and it has to be done in a certain way... They have books at the book store on how to do it.. If the negative item is legit. I can tell you through experience they are not going to remove it... Make sure you check all three credit reports . Experian, Trans Union, and Equafax.. Also while you are at it make sure you have them correct any mistakes on it to clean it up so it looks nice and neat when creditors pull it up.. Mistakes can be taken care of over the phone once you actually have the credit reports by all three . Hope this helped you...God bless you !

How does negative and positive feedback keep a hockey skater alive if he fell through the ice?
Q. Two hockey players aer skating on a frozen pond. One skater falls through the ice into the water. Explain how negative feedback can keep the skater who fell in alive. Explain how positive feedback can provide physical assistance to the friend trying to save him.
Asked by Erica O - Sun Apr 27 15:25:19 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Two kinds of system protect the skater who went through the ice. The first kind involves the body's homeostatic system, an array of negative-feedback loops that regulate the internal environment, including core temperature. A reduction in temperature will trigger increased metabolic activity to maintain a healthy temperature. The second kind, vasoconstriction, is not a feedback system but rather open-loop. This reduces heat loss by constricting the blood vessels at the body's surface. It is triggered by sensed external-environment coldness rather than core temperature reduction. As for the rescuer, this is more difficult. I suppose you could consider the use of an ice awl a kind of positive feedback. You jam it into the ice in such an… [cont.]

Symptoms include: moodiness, headaches, light cramping. I took two home pregnancy tests which came back negative and just came from the doctor where they gave me a third urine test, also negative. They are sending my blood to the lab for testing, and I was just wondering if this has happened to other people? Or should I stop hoping and start crying?

A. I took a HPT with my first morning urine & got a very light positive. Went to the doctor 4 hours later, to confirm & got negative. Went straight to hospital for blood work because I was so excited and wanted to know if I was pregnant. I got an HCG level of 12, which means pregnant but about "2 seconds pregnant" as my doctor told me! Sadly, it ended in miscarriage--but until the blood work comes back negative, you won't really know! Best of luck to you!

It is similar to this: which I'm sure is outstanding. For $1,000, it SHOULD be though! See: for a set of 12 images scanned from slides on the Coolscan V ED.

All your vehicle electrics and engine components need an Earth return path to the alternator or battery (for when the engine isn't running) Your vehicle body/chassis provides the main earthing "bus" - and most components will earth to this via a tag and a special earthing bolt (that removes the paint and give you a good earth connection) You NEED an earth conection from the battery to the body and ANOTHER to the engine.

Asked by Bruce - Tue Dec 23 02:46:41 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. While it is all right to be alone a considerable amount of the time, if we don't go out and socialize sometimes (weekends, or at least once a month), we become practically hermits. This can lead to some mental disorders such as: Depression, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder (when we have no choice but to be around people), etc. Sometimes we must just get up and go. If we have no one to go with us, we still need to get out and do things where people are. I hope that you are working, in school, or doing something where you interact with other people. When we don't, for any length of time, we can deprive ourselves of friendships, love, and what might be termed by some as 'a life'.
