Why did you decide to become a chiropractor?

Pettibon System - proven spine and posture correction | FAQ
quot;While playing football in high school, I suffered a compression fracture and was in a coma. After one week, I began coming out of the coma and overheard doctors talk about someone 'who might not make it'. When I fully regained consciousness, I found out that the talk was about me. As a result of the accident, my hands, feet, and knees were painful yet numb. Our family doctor said that I was lucky to be alive and would have to learn to live with the pain and numbness.

edit] How did Inkscape start?

FAQ - Inkscape Wiki
Inkscape was started as a fork of Sodipodi, in late 2003, by four Sodipodi developers: Bryce Harrington, MenTaLguY, Nathan Hurst, and Ted Gould. Our mission was creating a fully compliant Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) drawing tool written in C++ with a new, more user friendly (Gnome HIG compliant) interface and an open, community-oriented development process.

Why did you have a C-Section?

Anastasia Elise: Her Story
My doctor was not eager to do a C-section. As many of you know, there can be serious consequences to having a section, including the risk that every pregnancy thereafter may have to end in a slightly early birth. When it was obvious I was going into labor, my doctor asked me what I wanted to do: a vaginal birth, or a C-section? He was leaning toward a vaginal birth. However, I knew from previous conversations with doctors that a C-section would up Anastasia's chances of survival.

C. How Did They Form?

silverchair.nu - Frequently Asked Questions
silverchair was originally called Innocent Criminals and also had a fourth member, Tobin Finnane. The group met at Ben's garage to play covers of Deep Purple, Led Zepplin, Black Sabbath and others. However, Tobin moved overseas, and the band became a trio. According to Daniel, the first time they practiced, it sounded really bad: "...but we thought it was good. It was really loud. Everything we had was on ten, and Ben was just smashing the shit out of his drums. I was just screaming.

VII-C. Where did the name Alcor come from ?

CRYONICS − FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
The name came from Fred and Linda Chamberlain who co-founded Alcor in 1972. Alcor is a star in the handle of the Big Dipper which is paired with the larger, brighter star system known as Mizar. In ancient times the ability to distinguish Alcor from Mizar was a sign of great visual acuity. The Chamberlains wanted to convey the idea that persons who chose to use cryonics for life-extension are those who are very perceptive.

Jasper Littman Savile Row bespoke tailors
This will give you an indication of how busy he is. A respectable tailor with a number of clients will not be able to operate using public transport, as they would not be able to carry the suits, swatches etc. If he has invested in a car you can take him seriously. If he is using a helicopter he may be over charging!

When did you "decide" you were TS?

Frequently Asked Questions
I hate this one, as it implies a certain spirit of arbitrariness or whimsy, though I suppose the question is natural since a lot of people suddenly appear in the transgender community, announce they are TS, maybe even live full time for a while, and then disappear. Personally, I have always known that this was what I needed to do, but until late 1997 had been overwhelmed first by lack of knowledge about how to go about it and then by my sheer physical unsuitability.

What is No Room for Contraception purpose? Why and how did you decide to start it?

No Room for Contraception -- frequently asked questions, faq...
The purpose of No Room for Contraception is to expose the harms of contraception on marriage, society and women's health. Both pro-choice and pro-life forces know that the end to legal abortion is coming soon, and many think that we should turn to contraception to decrease the need for abortion; the widespread availability and use of contraception, however, is what created the need for abortion in the first place.

Why did Steve decide to go?

Genesis Frequently Asked Questions - Version 2.6
quot;Once we'd shown that we can do it as a four piece, it all became too easy. We just played one 20,000 after another. I started to ask myself "What is it I really want?" I was suddenly writing more and more but the band incorporated less and less. I had an abundance of ideas, but it didn't affect the overall ratio of Hackett songs to - let's be quite candid - Tony Banks songs.

New Page 1
Our approach is not to subject ourselves to a marathon of seeing every country in every continent on the globe. We don't want an "If this is Tuesday, it must be Belgium" travel experience. Instead, one of the reasons that we are embarking on this adventure is to slow down and simplify our lives. So we have picked a few places that we have always wanted to see, and we are spending longer periods of time exploring them. Our goal is to see how the local people live.

Not Workin'
We had a few ideas going in, as well as a couple of must do's like Barcelona and Australia, but mostly we read a lot of books and looked at other travel websites like this one. Then it came down to fitting our ideas into what the around-the-world tickets allowed. That said, we still only have a rough sketch of our trip. We know what countries we're going to if only because we needed to book airline tickets.

Why did you use C++ instead of C, Java or whatever?

Frequently Asked Questions
ANSI C is a rather nasty choice because it lacks nice generic containers, clean stream abstractions, and even a basic string class. It seems that there are some who "ewww" at libferris because its coded in C++ but they can always just use gnome-vfs if language choice is their primary decision point. If you use a different library to access it then your best bet is to copy the existing plugin into a new dir and modify it to use your favourate library.

edit] Why did Inkscape split from Sodipodi?

FAQ - Inkscape Wiki
Inkscape started as a code fork of Sodipodi. The main reasons were differences in objectives and in development approach. Inkscape's objective is to be a fully compliant SVG editor, whereas for Sodipodi SVG is more a means-to-an-end of being a vector illustration tool. Inkscape's development approach emphasizes open developer access to the codebase, as well as using and contributing back to 3rd party libraries and standards such as HIG, CSS, etc. in preference to custom solutions.

edit] Do I have to use C?

Fluent FAQ -- CFD-Wiki, the free CFD reference
Yes and no. To hook your UDF into Fluent, you'll probably have to use one of the DEFINE_* macros that Fluent provides, and this is most easily done using C. However, you can write routines that are used in the routines that are defined with the DEFINE_* macros in other languages and then link them together. This requires some knowledge of mixed language programming, Makefiles, the text user interface (TUI), and is not necessarily very portable. An example using Fortran is given in Section 5.4.

How did I get infected with hepatitis C?

Hepatitis C Web Portal: Frequently Asked Questions
Many people don't know how they became infected with hepatitis C. Since many people do not experience any symptoms, several years can pass between when a person is infected and when a person is diagnosed with hepatitis C. The hepatitis C virus is only spread through direct contact with infected blood. In the past, this most frequently occurred when people received 'tainted' blood or blood products.
