Is it legal to charge for a "Charge for Boiler Service" on top of existing water charge?
Q. Lanlord charging tennant new utility charge for a Boiler Fee? Is the legal in Bay Area CA? No meter here. We have lived here for three years without this charge and today we received a posting on my front door stating that this new charge would be added to our water bill. We have no individual meters for water in any of these buildings within the complex and all water charges are "Based on occupancy and square footage" I asked when I signed my lease if there was a meter that I could check for accuracy, and the lady I signed with had no information. "It is just a standard charge." is all she could tell me and that it would only cost around 50 dollars each month. I expressed my concern that I was paying for somehting I… [cont.]

A. From what I know of FL law, a landlord is required to provide water and heat (not hot water, although this is the general assumption). In locations where meters are available for individual units, my tenants had to open their own water accounts with the utility dept. In locations where there is only 1 meter for a building w/ multiple residences, typically the burden of paying for the water is shared amongst all tenants as part of the rent (as opposed to a side item). A landlord can charge maintenance fees (for instance, "boiler fee"). However, if the change and increase is added within the term of your lease, you can either agree to the change, and pay the fee, or terminate the lease, w/ no termination penalties (since it wasn't… [cont.]

Why "other information" part of MSDS(Material Safety Data sheet) of raw material mention like this?
Q. Most of time when we consider the MSDS (Material Safety data Sheet) of some product, we give all product information relavent to product. But finally under " others information" catagary we can see following statement "This Informations are correct & accurate according to our knowledge , But we don't take any guaranty or Responsibility regarding above information & damages regarding use of such article" So please let me know why it is mention such a way?

A. well with raw materials there will always be Variables and they may not always match exactly with the Safety Sheet. It is a legal issue, basically they're saying "This is as correct as it can possibly be, but there may be some discrepancies"

What does "biographical information" in a cover letter for a poetry submission mean?
Q. I would like to submit to a poetry magazine and one of the requirements for submission is to include "biographical information" in the cover letter. What does this mean? Is it my name, address, phone, email, and et cetera or do they want to know my life story or something? Forgot to mention, I already have a copy of Poet's Market (that's how I found the magazine I wanted to submit to) and couldn't find any suggestions about it in there.

How do creationists define "information" in the context of evolution?
Q. Posted a few minutes ago: "Evolution (now called macro evolution) cannot be observed. It requires the addition of genetic information that results in new traits, something that we've never seen." How do they define "information" in this context? Is it... * increased genetic variety in a population? We have observed it. * increased genetic material? We have observed it. * novel genetic material? We have observed it. * novel genetically-regulated abilities? We have observed it. * another definition? Let's have it.

A. I think Dr. Bob missed the exact point that was opened up with his own wording. When he originally claimed that evolution "requires the addition of genetic information that results in new traits" ... the question glares ... what does 'information' mean in a GENETIC sense? Simply saying "Information is exactly that: something meaningful" is an absolutely useless definition ... it does nothing to clarify what information is in a GENETIC sense! In other words, *how does one measure information as a *GENETIC* quantity?* If you can't explain that, then claiming that evolution "requires the addition of genetic information" is utterly meaningless! It is an attempt to say that evolution "requires" something,… [cont.]

why do creationists stick to the "law of conservation of information" as a problem to the theory of evolution?
Q. in science, information is loosely defined as "that which distinguishes one thing from another" and it's associated with causality (the action of one part of the system on another). So, having this in mind, it is true that information cannot be created or destroyed, but let's review what information means to science: if it is associated with causality, then the way of transmitting information between two systems or two parts of a system would be by an interaction. Interactions in physics mean forces, and if you apply a force on something, you can accelerate it, you can deform it, you can cause a chemical or nuclear reaction, you can tap potential energy... so what is information then? it's energy! information is just a form of… [cont.]

A. "Reciting information" has been a problem for thousands of years. Think back to the Greeks and their views on writing. Some felt that writing was a way to stunt the mind (instead of actually knowing the information). Plenty of Greek philosophers complained that too many philosophical amateurs would "recite" information as apposed to actually knowing/understanding it. And seeing as how the Greeks were NOT feminized, I think I just debunked your theory.

A. System Volume Information cannot be defragmented and there is no need or reason to do so, it contains restore points, the fact it is fragmented means nothing and has no effect on performance period. The files in it are only used if you run system restore. It is nothing to be concerned about. Also the physical location of System Volume Information is towards the inner part of your drive, away from the rest of your OS and program files. I don't know of a way to move it, but I don't see any reason to need to do so.

Rather than go through the frustration of troubleshooting all that, buy a USB card reader (under $10) and use it to copy your image files to your computer. Using a card reader will also prevent corruption which can happen when the battery fails in the middle of a download.

Can a person "reason" effectively without "time" and "information"?
Q. I propose that reasoning and critical thinking requires time and information. Reasoning is not effective without them. As an example You're a soldier in the heat of battle. Your commanding officer issues you orders that you do not agree with. If you hesitate, by asking questions and taking the time to reason, several people will die immediately before your eyes. Therefore, you must have "faith" in your commanding officer. That is why reasoning is not effective without time and information. In these situations, "faith" is more valuable than "reason".
