The R's mean that you can write data only once, and from begining to end. That basically means that if you want to write data again on the cd, you will have to reformat it, which means that u will have to erase all the stuff on it first.\n\nThe Rw's mean that you can burn a disc, then go back and add or insert data in it without acutally having to delete evrything on their previously\n\nthe + and - symbols indicate the type of formatting, the most common supported form is the '-' symbol, however many programs (including microsoft, apple, nullsoft, and megapixis) support the '+' formatting. In all honestly the formatiing shouldnt even matter, as most if not companies try to support as many as possible.

Avec plaisir. RSVP is french for Respondez si vous plait, and it means, please answer. It's actually a little stronger in french than it is in english, and means that an answer is expected, not just please answer if you feel like it. \nYou often see this on formal invitations, for dinners, weddings etc. where an accurate head count is needed to be able to provide food and drink in sufficient quantities. A lot of people don't seem to know what it means, however, and don't both to respond. I wonder if it would be more effective to put AYT on the bottom, standing for 'Answer, you twit!'\nProbably Miss Manners wouldn't like that either...

that was my answer. it's a slang term for a s.l.u.t or a whore. sometimes it means she gives head(oral) to anyone.

Nickisbox answer is as correct as makes no difference. In fact it means 'socially correct behaviour'. Mind your manners; Mind your behaviour, etc.\n\nI've added this edit (26.01.06) because Puppyfred and MacMomma have referred to origins of the expressions and all of you might be interested in the following: \n\nThe phrase dates to the late 18th century. The pecise origin is not known, but several competing hypotheses seem to be the most likely.\n\n    * The first is that it derives from the phrase p and q which was an abbreviation for prime quality. This English dialectical term dates to the 17th century. So to mind your p's and q's would mean to be exacting in detail and ensure high quality.\n\n    * The second is that it refers to difficulty children had in learning to distinguish between the letters p and q, being mirror images of one another. To learn one's p's and q's is a phrase meaning to learn one's letters is first recorded around 1830--somewhat later but not impossible as the origin. Often this explanation is identified with printers and distinguish between a p and a q in type, but the early use exclusively deals with children, not printing.\n\n    * The third, first suggested by Farmer and Henley at the turn of the 20th century, is that the phrase comes from the practice of maintaining a tally in pubs and taverns. Marks under column P, for pint, or Q, for quart, would be made on a blackboard. To tell a bartender to mind his Ps and Qs would be to tell him to mind his own business and get back to work.\n\n    * Another commonly suggested explanation is that it is a variation on mind your pleases and thank yous, a plea for gentility and manners. There is no evidence to support this, nor does the please and thank you phrase appear anywhere except in explanations of the Ps and Qs origin.\n\n    * The last is from the world of printing. Typesetters had to be skilled in reading letters backward, as the blocks of type would have mirror images of the letters. The lower-case letters p and q were particularly difficult to distinguish because they are mirrors of one another and located in bins next to one another. Typesetters had to be particularly careful not to confuse the two.\n\nAny could be correct except perhaps the fourth which  has no foundation and seems false. I would go for the first as being the most plausible. \n\nThe third is interesting because the blackboard was normally made of slate (and still is in most English pubs although today used for other purposes) and leads to the origin of two other expressions: 'Put it on the slate' and 'Wipe the slate clean'. Workers used to be paid on Friday and by Monday had very little money left. So if they wanted to drink during the week they would ask the landlord to 'put it on the slate'. The landlord would put the customers initials on the board and by the side of it the number of drinks that had to be paid for. The following Friday the customer would pay his bill and the landlord would 'wipe the slate clean'. So, to put something on the slate means to get credit; to wipe the slate clean means to clear ones debts.

When people get something they want, they would "Yeahooooo! I like it."\nI think it stand for happy.

It's short for an explicit word that younger adults should not be concerned with. Probably a polite thing to do on the poster of the questions part.

Look on the back cover of the book.  Look for letters like: RL 3.2 --\nwhich usually means reading level third grade, second month.\nIf it's not on the back cover, look on the copyright page (back of the title page).\n\nIf this doesn't work type the title in amazon.com and read the reviews....... hope this helps!

RSVP is an abbreviation for the French phrase "Respondez S'il Vous Plait." In English, RSVP stands for "Reply Please!"\n\nIf you have received an invitation that includes an RSVP notation, you are being asked to respond and let your hosts know whether or not you are able to attend the event.\n\nIf you are sending an invitation with an RSVP notation, you are asking your guests to "Respond Please" so that you can plan appropriately.

It means you a wimp, a softie, a pushover, a pu$$y, a wuss.  It doesn't mean gay.  Why would people say that???  \n\nWhen it is used to refer directly to girl's butt (such as when a boy is using slang to flirt with a girl, like "let me get some of that candyass")--that's when it means nice booty, or sweet stuff (in a sexual and flirtatious way).\n\nhope this helps :)

The funny looking S thing is an integral sign, the p stands for pressure and the dV stands for a little change in volume.\nIt sounds like the work performed by something expanding at constant pressure.  The work is the amount of energy used.
