Q 16. Why is it not right to break sila even as a joke?

Questions on Anapana
Ans. Why indulge in a sense of humour which prompts you to break your sila? There can be numerous jokes that do not require you to behave immorally. If you break your sila once, even as a joke, you will be tempted to do it again and again. Today you are breaking it as a joke and tomorrow it will become a permanent habit for you. You will find justification in doing it. Immorality under all circumstances is wrong, and so try not to ever indulge in it, even jokingly.

Q 20. If we happen to break our sila, how do we make amends for it?

Questions on Anapana
Ans. If you happen to break your sila, then admit it before someone older. Do not hide your mistakes. If you conceal your mistake, then you are liable to repeat it. It will start an endless process. If you confess to someone older and respectable that you have made a mistake, and also promise not to repeat the same mistake under any circumstance, you will see that your mind will gain strength. When you don't conceal any of your bad actions, you are not tempted to repeat them.

Q 19. How can one protect oneself without breaking one's sila?

Questions on Anapana
Ans. Just as you protect others by protecting your sila, similarly protect yourself without breaking your sila. On one hand, you may wish to protect yourself and on the other, you may speak of breaking your sila. By breaking sila, you act immorally, and your action will produce the fruit of misery for you in the future. So how can you claim to have protected yourself? How can you claim to have saved yourself? In fact, you have ruined your own security by not following the right code of conduct.

Q 15. How does the breath help in preserving our sila?

Questions on Anapana
Ans. As already explained, the irregularity in the respiration gives us a warning signal when morality is not being observed. At that time, by focusing our attention on the respiration, we will become alert and vigilant and not perform an unwholesome action.

Q 14. How can the observation of breath assist in practising the moral precepts (sila)?

Questions on Anapana
Ans. This is indeed a good question. If the observation of breath does not help us to preserve morality and establish ourselves in Dhamma, then it is a futile exercise. This technique will be very beneficial in living a good life. If we continue to observe the natural flow of respiration, we will find that it helps us to gain control over our mind. Our mind will not be as weak and restless as before. Its ability to concentrate will improve.

What is the right way to break-in my new skating boots?

FAQ
By far the best way to break-in new boots is to skate in them. First, start by spending a session or two just stroking forward, stroking backward and doing simple spinning. When the boots feel comfortable, add the basic jumps you can land consistently. You may find that when the boots are new, you may have to relace the boots during the session to allow the lace to stretch, leather stretching and foam tongues compression.

This question is a joke, right?

TINA [faq]
Probably the real answer...) In order to debug software effectively we need an environment which separates the operating system cleanly from the user software. We also require software longevity and do not wish to have to rewrite large quantities of software when compilers, graphics libraries or operating systems change. The UNIX model provides this. The UNIX model operating system allows us much greater freedom in choosing hardware on which to run TINA.

My mates say that condoms are dangerous to use, because they break. Are they right?

Frequently asked questions on contraception
No. Condoms do break occasionally, but this is unlikely if you handle them gently, and don’t snag them with your fingernails or jewellery. It’s recently become clear that a lot of females who ask for the morning after pill say the condom broke - because they don’t want to admit that they didn’t use one. Even if one in a thousand condoms breaks, that’s still far, far better than the risks of not using one at all.

Vote For Jesus .INFO - Jesus Christ for President
No, this is a serious attempt to elect Jesus Christ to the office of American president using the write-in vote. Impossible! Politics is the expression of religion. It is the outward working of the inward belief system. The myth that religion and politics are to be separated is a lie fostered to protect official government religions, which pretend that they aren't religions. Not at all. At least, not like others.

Where it is not the major symptom if you feel the oro-pharynx is the source of the current symptoms then the patient can still be eligible. For example, a patient with fever as the most prominent symptom with a sore throat as their main other symptom is eligible; those with prominent coryzal symptoms and a slightly scratchy throat, or a prominent cough with a mild sore throat are not eligible.

Q Is the viewfinder also 16:9?

Sony HDR-FX1 FAQ
A No, but the entire view is shown, "letterboxed" when appropriate in the viewfinder. The view and video recorded on the tape will not be letterboxed. A No. Like MiniDV, the actual bitrate is 25Mpbs to/from the tape and i.Link runs at the 100Mbps speed. Note that i.Link's standard speeds are 100, 200, and 400Mbps. With a data rate of 25Mbps, there is no advantage to running the interface faster. This can cause problems if hubbed with an external Firewire hard drive however.

What do you think about the right to vote at the age of 16?

K.R.?.T.Z.?. - Right to vote - FAQ
For us, matters of principle stand in the foreground. We don't regard it as legitimate that a person's age decides whether he may have a say in matters. On the one hand, we would be happy to see the age-limit lowered, because that would make the right to vote a subject of public discussion. But the argumentation for it isn't logical and could be used just as well for the age of 12 or 15, for example.
