How do I get rid of Green worms in basil?
I am struggling with the same problem. So far I am resorting to carefully inspecting my plants (indoors in pots since it is November in Ohio) each day, but have found the worms very difficult to see, even when large. This morning I gave the plant a vigorous shake and 2 worms fell out, so I plan on shaking every day. Does anyone know if the worms are hatching from the soil? Next I plan on scraping out the top layer of soil and replacing.

There are many possible answers, depending whether the card worked before or not. If the card worked before: - if the computer has been opened in the meantime, maybe the card was moved - the drivers might need reinstallation - the card might be defective following a power surge, or something similar If the card did not work before: - make sure that the card is at its place - make sure the appropriate drivers are installed
Where do you put antifreeze in a 2002 Lincoln ls?
Here's a general answer to all makes and models. Antifreeze is kept in the radiator (the metal zig zag tubing thing with fins in front of the engine block.) and a plastic reservoir (the one with marking of Max and Min markers. Not the one for windshield wiper fluid.) for extra holding. You can fill through the cap on top or some models on the side of the radiator WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. When you need to refill (if the antifreeze is lower than the mini mark on the reservoir,) you can fill it through the opening of the reservoir. Do not over fill. Because you need the head space on top of the Max mark to let the heated antifreeze to expand and siphoned back to he radiator when the engine is cooled.

How old is the John McAfee of Computer Virus Fame?
John McAfee has never divulged his age or his birthday, although March 17 is frequently discussed as his birthday. However, some people believe that he is supernaturally old. A photograph, taken in 1893 in Virginia purports to show John McAfee as an army lieutenant. The face in the photograph is identical to John McAfee as he appears today - someone in his late forties or early fifties, yet the photo was taken nearly 120 years ago. This is clearly impossible, yet the face in the photo is identical to Mr. McAfee's appearance today. KGB operative Viktor Kusnetzov claims that Mr. McAfee was born in 1763 in Russia and that Mr. McAfee is the last living vampire.

Why do people feel the need to ask useless questions and why do people even bother to answer them?
People ask useless questions because they're too lazy to do the research themselves. People answer useless questions by lazy people because they do not have anything else to do and answering questions makes them feel superior. Most of the time, just for time pass, secondly it depends on the forum in which they are, if they are earning points for asking questions or some times just like people who answer, the questions keep on coming.
Some times it so happens that the questioner thinks them self as if they have found something interest of nothing, and it has been foundout very interesting and funny.
It may also happens, ones knowledge or the i.q that one may be trying to learn the things or has just started.
The reason to pick such questions for answering is people tend to go on negative side, so it happens.
yes but it's usually the other (graphics) card which has separate memory.
What are the different memory management techniques used in different operating systems?
Unix system memory management based on swapping . swappin is the process of transferring a block of data from secondary sorage to main memory and vice versa. This done to accommodate larger size of the program, to be executed, in a small sized main memory of the computer. Movement between memory and disk was handled by the upper level of the two-level scheduler, known as the swapper. Swapping from memory to disk was initiated when the kernel ran out of free memory on account of one of the following events :
1. a fork system call needed memory for a child process.
2. A brk system call needed to expand a data segment.
3. A stack became larger and ran out of the space allocated to it.
Why weren't viruses discovered until about 1935?
The very small size of virus particles was a major limiting factor of the discovery of viruses.
Who is the first filipino who discovered the computer virus?
A computer virus is not something necessarily something you discover like human viruses. It is actually a small computer program one takes the time to create and design in order to penetrate the normal functionality of another computer program.
The idea of developing a virus usually doesn't surface until a large number of computers become available to people. The first computer available to consumers was in 1974 in the U.S. by IBM. Philippines was still a developing country and the understanding, need, and cost for computers were not very popular during this time.
However, some Filipinos working for IBM or institutions that had the budget for computers in the U.S. may have had an opportunity to recognize the vulnerability in computers through the development of a virus or a computer program designed to bypass a computer's security functions.
The first Filipino who discovers a computer virus is most likely the first Filipino who created it - and because of the malicious intent and risky consequences for building any virus, it is unlikely that any creator will ever reveal themselves including a Filipino computer programmer.
So an answer to your question will never be accurate.

Innumerable examples of internet as an entertainment source can be quoted. Now with Microsoft and Google promising to built the complete virtual structures of any city in the world on the internet, people would not have to travel to those people on holidays in order to explore and enjoy the city. They just have to log on to the Google World or the Microsoft site and explore the city online where they can walk down the streets enter buildings and even make purchase while they are gossiping about the prices with the other customers in the shops. Now can there be any doubt that computers are a main source of entertainment and amusement in this generation?
