Does anyone know of a piece of music called something like "Vides Descarta"? Google returns nothing so spelling is probably incorrect - phonetically it's along the lines of "vee-dus day-car-ta". It was chosen as music for a funeral, if that gives any clue (tone, mood etc).

My ipod cable and XM radio were both stolen out of my car a month ago, and since then I've been listening almost exclusively to NPR during my commute. And I can't help but notice and wonder... Why do all men on NPR sound like Ira Glass?

I recently update Firefox, and now my address bar doesn't seem to do anything. Like, if I hit Enter or click on the blue arrow that signifies "go this loving website", nothing happens. The Google search bar works fine, and so do my bookmarks. How do I fix this obnoxious problem?

I'm releasing a World War 2 themed Android game in about an hour. I just realized that I might have to exclude Germany as a country since there are swastikas on some of the space ships (that's right, space Nazis). Do I really need to exclude Germany? Google is failing me.

Google is failing me. You're going to be extradited and sentenced to life in prison in Germany. But really, yeah your game would be illegal there with swastikas intact and you can't sell it in Germany.

How would I contact the film marketing department? It's intentionally very difficult to get in touch with them because they pretty much don't want to talk to you about this. Your best bet is to look up what advertising/marketing firm they've hired to market the film and get in touch with them. Either way, they are not going to give a poo poo if there's going to be less than a thousand people at your parties.

Before the advent of communication satellites, how did TV stations all over the country play live content? Like how would a TV station in Denver broadcast a presidential speech live?

And you should mention, that for the most part they just plain avoided it. It was quite common to only simulcast a program east of the Mississippi, and then have stations west of that receive the programs pre-recorded. Also you're incorrect there. They didn't use broadcast-frequency broadcast relays to get cross country, there was nowhere near enough coverage. Instead, television networks had leased lines and microwave-frequency relays from AT&T to pipe live television content through, quite expensive too. The article you linked refers to the practice of having two or more individual towers in the same general are carrrying the same feed. att posted:Broadband begins

In some old-timey restaurants or bars, you'll see a painting on the wall that'll have a streetlamp or a car in it, and there'll be a tiny lightbulb embedded in the artwork that'll actually light up the lamp or car light or whatever. What's this type of artwork/decoration called? Do they sell those online anywhere?

I have been absolutely scouring the Internet for whatever this amazing music is in this particular Immortals spot that aired during last week's episode of South Park. If anyone can figure it out I'd love to know, it sounds like a dark electonic, NIN type band if you have knowledge in that area. Here is a link to the miserable quality video I recorded of the spot with my phone. I'm really hoping this isn't an in house work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J53UZcefI1M EDIT: And yeah, cross-posting and searching AdTunes as well...

How medically likely is it for a young lady to gain 4-5" in height after age 17? I just about swear I bumped into someone from my past earlier, she'd be my age, about 33 now but she was 5'2" and who I saw tonight was 5'6-7 (no heels).

I found an iPod (the mp3 kind, not the phone kind) and I want to return it to the owner. My friend tells me that you can contact apple for help with that but from looking around on the site they seem to go through a lot of trouble not to list an email address anywhere and the phone numbers listed seem to be very specifically for either pre-order or technical support. Plus I don't want to be put on hold for 15 minutes and pay phone costs. Anyone know what I should do? The gadget subforum didn't seem to have a thread for questions like this so I thought I'd post it here.

Make sure you tell it not to sync, check that, and run it through Facebook. Or put up fliers, as Mister Kingdom suggested.

I write the schedule for some delivery drivers at work and since we can never get all of them in the same place at once to discuss who works when it was coordinated through a facebook group, things were going fine until two of them started fighting about having thanksgiving weekend off and who's time off is more important. I want to know if there is another easy online solution for posting a schedule and handling time off requests where I am the only one that see's them, some one mentioned google docs to me when I told them about it but im not exactly sure how that works

Apparently you can only send emails to Apple if you have a registered Apple product (which I don't) so a goon kindly offered to contact them (ended up calling anyway) and they send me the original owner's email address.

I have a question about a story. I think I may have first read about it here on the forums. It was a story about a house, it was told through a series of email correspondence. Then it evolved into message board postings, or something like that, you kind of had to hunt down the information yourself at some point. It was a horror story, or supernatural at least. The house changed on the inside and weird things happened. I remember at some point someone went searching to learn more and located the same house at different geographical location. Itis NOT house of leaves. But it was kind of similar. I remember the story was never concluded. Supposedly the guy who wrote it was trying to sell it as a screenplay or something, but it never materialized. For some reason I think the name was daneis, or something similar, but can't find it again. Anybody know what I'm talking about?

John Redcorn posted:How medically likely is it for a young lady to gain 4-5" in height after age 17? I guess it's not impossible, but it's pretty unlikely. Most girls finish puberty (and the growth spurts that go with it) by around the age of 15-17 or so. Even if she managed to keep growing later, I doubt she'd gain as much as 4-5". This is of course assuming she doesn't have some kind of growth disorder or something.

It was not a person I really want to make any sort of contact with, anyone else and I'm just non-goony enough to actually speak and "hey are you so and so..".

Is there any convention in English or other languages that is the female analog to Junior? Like if Sam's son is also named Sam, he'd be Sam Jr. What if Sam and and his wife Leah had a daughter named Leah? Is there any suffix that can be used like Junior? Would it still be Junior? Juniora?  The momentum of Western culture seem generally patriarchal enough that there probably isn't anything, but I was curious.

I've always thought girls would get embellishments to their name, in the way you would make a masculine name into a feminine one: Julia -> Juliette -> Julietta Etc.
