Do 1968 Dodge Chargers have a reputation for timing gear failures? (link)
|
Not that I am aware of.
It would be helpful to know which engine you are talking about if you require further info.
Typically, when you have a gear failure in a chain driven system, something is seriously amiss.
A chain failure, sure... but a gear failure? I have never seen it happen under normal conditions.
If you need further assistance, please create an account, so you can get answers from other people as well.
Good luck.

There is no user here by that name.
Could you be a bit more specific as to what you are talking about?
Thank you,

Are there any really good web sites out there for helping people who can't write a cover letter for their resume to save their working life??? I need to get my resume faxed as soon as possible and need help. Thanks! (link)
|
Hi there,
Yes, there are a great many sites out there which can help you.
Here is one I found, which has advice examples for specific fields, such as health care:
http://resume.monster.com/archives/coverletter/
Soyouwanna has a great overview guide:
http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/coverletter/coverletter.html
... just make sure your pop-up blocker is working.
The Internet is awash in free advice on job-seeking, resume building and cover letter creation, much of which is high in quality... but sorting through it all can be a mess when you are already stressed out.
Writing a resume, and more specifically a cover letter can seem like the end of the world. You just sit there and stare at the paper (or computer screen) as every thought you thought was good enough suddenly runs away and hides.
I just wanted to say all that so that you know you aren't the only one this ever happened to. :-)
If you leave feedback telling me more about your needs, I might be able to find something which precisely fits you.
Good luck,
DN.

Is it just me? Or questions on this site getting stupider and stupider? I mean, you should come to this site and talk about your problems, and try to get them worked out. More and more I'm seeing people talk about Myspace and things that they could really find else where. Is it just me? Or dose someone else out there agree that this needs to be cut down jus a bit (link)

Hello there,
You have NO idea what it was like here before. There are now more good questions posted than there ever have been, but people only look at the first page of questions.
If they were smart, they would look through the topics that interest them, all 10 pages, and answer everything to which they could add wisdom.
As for the myspace questions... yes, they could find it elsewhere. Some aren't smart enough to use Google, so they ask here.
Let me ask you this, if it weren't for questions like that, what would the people here who have VERY little life experience answer?
So far all they have experienced is wondering if a boy likes them, having miscellaneous goop issue forth from their vagina, shopping, hating people, being jealous, along with all the other things that typically happen with 13 year old girls.
Now why would that be? Because the median age of this site is 14.
Most all the people are in the same age/experience bracket, so most questions are identical.
If you want better questions, you ask some. That is what needs to happen.
The site also needs to be promoted outside of Jr. High schools.
If you are up for a read, check out the rant in response to another question like yours:
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=434882
... Since I wrote that, I have come to this conclusion:
Nothing will change. The same questions will need to be answered by each successive wave of 13 year old girls.
The 14 year olds will answer them.
What I am working on now is a way that you, and anybody else that really doesn't want to see the oft repeated questions, can opt-out of them.
Now that I have the log-in problem fixed, it is time to move on to this project.
In all fairness, the questions that people who have been here more than a week are tired of, are being asked by people who do legitimately need help.
Many of them really don't know how the Internet works, so they find this site, and ask all their questions.
The same people asking the annoying questions, will answer other people's annoying questions eventually... then start to complain that they have already answered the questions before.
The irony, of course, is that they are now typically complaining about the same questions that they themselves asked when they first arrived here!
At this point, since "how-to" questions are so common, maybe I can create a way for you to check a box in your profile which would detail what type of questions you wish to see.
Myself, I don't have the slightest problem with an intelligent "how-to" question.
Advice is opinion, and I wish people would get that through their collective heads.
If someone asks what mix of cement/sand/rock they should use for pouring stairs in front of their home because they live in a cold climate and do not wish it to crack...
... they are ASKING FOR ADVICE.
If they are asking how do do something at myspace... they are still asking for advice. Advice on how to do X at myspace.
Fact is, the documentation for myspace absolutely sucks and I understand why so many don't find what they need.
Yes, they could have googled it, no they probably don't know how to sort through the crap sites clogging up google's results these days.
Some of the myspace questions we get... you should type them into Google and see how you would do actually finding the info.
I did, and was utterly amazed how hard some of it was.
In short, too late, things aren't as bad as they appear.
You can fix it by asking and answering questions of a different caliber.
I can fix it by changing the site programming to allow people to say they only wish to see X categories, or only questions that have naught to do with the physical plane, such as the love-life questions.
If you have suggestions, after reading my other rant, please use the make suggestions link.
I hope this helps you to know that you aren't alone, and YOU have the power to fix things. So does everyone else.
DN.

do you really spend over a hundred dollars on this site a month? (link)
|
No, no, you misunderstood. The way the servers, rackspace and support are now, we need $100 dollars a DAY to break even.
$3,172 per month
Thanks for asking,

P.S. Where did you get the idea it was $100 per month? Don't I wish!

How do I "copy & paste" a google search for people that ask advice of me and the best answer I can give them is to direct to another website or tell them to google it. I see people on here have the google search bar attached to there answer. How do you do it? Obviously not copy & paste because I've tried that. Forgive me for sounding dumb if it's something so simple. My way for doing everything is copy & paste lol. (link)
|
I think I understand what you mean.
If you are talking about the Google search box, it works like this:
[ search]good search terms[/search ]
Take the spaces away from the interior of the brackets. If I pasted it in normally, without the spaces, it would be turned into a search box:
Have fun,

Hi there,
Judging by the misspellings in what you wrote, I am guessing you might have typed your password or user name wrong.
If that isn't the case, I will need more information on what EXACTLY is happening.
Tell me exactly what happens when you try to log in, what is on the screen after you try, everything.
Thanks,

Hi, I asked a question to Advicenators and somebody told me to tell you this! This girl is fake, she's faking a girl named ShannonBond, and this is not her! She's faking this girl I've met a couple times, and when I asked the REAL Shannon Bond she said shes never had an Advicenators account. Can you please delete this FAKE GIRLS account? This should not be acceptable!
This fake girl has 2 sites on Advicenators!
http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=Shannon
http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=shannonbond
Thank You! (link)
|
Hello there,
Thanks for the report. According to one user here Miss. Bond, does indeed have an account on this site.
I have e-mailed the offending accounts and given them a chance to provide a salute.
If nothing comes of it, they will be removed.
I wish people would stop pretending to be other people. It isn't like it does anything for them in the long run. They are ALWAYS found out eventually.
Pathetic and sad.
Anyway, at least it isn't another Staci Cole... we have had probably 50 of those.
Thanks again,
DN.

At my local theater, the next play is going to be The Butler Did It.
I have tried searching everywhere on the Internet, using Google, Dogpile and Yahoo search engines to find something - anything - about this play. I want to audition, but I don't want to waste my time if there are no roles for my age. I'm fifteen, I'm a female.
If anyone knows anything about The Butler Did It, please share. It's very frustrating because I can't find anything at all about it.
Thanks. (link)
|
Hi there,
This is one of those cases where you have to know a little about the play to get anything useful from the search engines.
The author of the play is Tim Kelly, so try this:
... and you will find out all you need to know.
As for your age and gender... if I recall correctly there are 5 female and 5 male roles in the play. The ages will depend on your cast.
If you are doing this at school, then the rest of the cast will be close to your age.
If you are auditioning at the local senior center, well that would be different. :-)
Have fun,
DN

how come advicenators has changed so much? a while ago.. people could ask anyone question they had. now there are all these rules and they really restrict what i am curious about. a lot of serious questions i have, have all been deleted. i dont understand this and i think it should change. (link)

Looking at your account makes this pretty clear:
"How do I know I am having an orgasm?" -- Asked hundreds of times, answered thousands of times.
The answer: If you are, you will know.
"How do I give a better handjob?"
Groan. Asked probably 5,000 times.
Then, as if there was any question left, you have not one, not two... but THREE questions asking if you should shave your vagina.
That question has been asked thousands of times.
Of all the answers, the real one is: Why the heck are you asking us? We aren't having sex with you... your boyfriend is: Ask HIM!
Only HE knows if HE likes a hairy girl or a shaved one.
I don't understand why you, or anyone else asks questions that are only important between you and the other person involved.
Want to know how to give a better (whatever?) Ask the person getting it from you!
Only THEY know what THEY like, and it will be different from everyone else here.
Every one is different, and the majority of the advice you will get will be wrong for your boyfriend anyway.
The short version is: You do NOT have a lot of serious questions.
You have a lot of questions you should know the answers to before even THINKING about being sexually active like you are.
You have questions that only your boyfriend can answer, yet you ask them here. Why?
Stop complaining until such time as you ask a question that hasn't been asked before, and actually belongs on this site, get deleted.
Then you should complain directly to the site administrator, me, since I am the only one who can bring a dead question back to life.
I hope this clears things up for you.

does anyone know what a scanning/ printing cord looks like?
i need to scan something but i can't find the cord that goes to the scanner... i don't even know what it's supposed to look like.
i found a cord that's coming off it, but the thing your (supposedly) supposed to use doesnt fit anywhere in my computer! (link)
|
Hello there,
If you supply the brand and model number of the scanner, we can figure out what connector it has, and what port it should connect to.
Will check back for additional info.

my mom caught me mastubating and watching porn and now i'm crying and i'm mad and i don't know what to do.... i feel awful... i cant stop crying i think i'm gonna cut myself... dammit i dont know what else to do!!! please help me i'm not some emo kid but im considering killing myself... (link)

Hello there,
Please don't harm yourself... there is no need.
I can give you my word, from experience that walking in on someone you do not think of sexually while they are getting busy with themselves... is FAR worse than being walked in on.
I have had both experiences, and I am here to tell you, for a fact, that, unless your mom is a sexual predator, she is AT LEAST as weirded out about this as you are.
I know it seems odd to suggest, but you really should talk to her about it. She knows you are growing up.
Explain to her that, at least you aren't doing what others are: Risking their future having sex at your age.
As bizarre as it is to think of your parents as sexual creatures... there is one fact that should make you realize they aren't in a position to come off high and mighty on this:
They didn't get YOU by rubbing elbows. :-)
Hopefully that made you cringe and smile at the same time.
You will be fine, honestly. Welcome to growing up.
Now remember... in the future, like oh, say, in college: LOCK THE DOOR.
Better to learn these important lessons now, since your mom isn't going to come in, take a picture, and post it on the Internet as a "priceless" picture... but your college roommates will. ;-)
Please feel better soon, the weird feeling wears off. Trust me.

My 1992 Legend won't pass DEQ because black smoke is coming out of the exhaust. By any chance do you know what is causing this? (link)
|
Hello there,
Black smoke typically indicates a rich mixture, meaning too much fuel to too little air.
With fuel injection, there are a few different possible causes:
Ignition computer keeping the injector open too long.
Oxygen sensor needs to be replaced. (Most likely cause, and cheapest fix)
Timing off, so fuel isn't completely burned.
If there is a turbo, or super-charger that complicates things.
Now if you have blue smoke... (look carefully while it is light out) there is oil in the fuel. That indicates a mechanical malfunction which is allowing oil to be burned with the fuel.
I hope you will sign up for an account here, and give advice to others.
Let me know how you make out.

my dogs is throwing up blood and I can't afford to go to the vet, Please give me advice on what this could be . I feel really bad as I love my and she is not an out door pet, and is only fed good dog food. She is part husky and collie. (link)
|
I am sorry to tell you, but you MUST take her to the vet.
This is a bad sign when blood is involved. If you want to keep your dog alive, you must take her to the vet right now... not later. NOW!
Almost any vet will let you make small payments.
We have made payments of as little as $13 to our old vet.
If this was you throwing up blood, would you want someone else saying: "Well, I lover her, but that would be expensive... so I will just let her bleed to death." ... would you?
Of course not.
Pick up the phone, call the vet. You will be glad you did.

I am getting frustrated, because I have made a user name/password and when I try to log in it says that it's an invalid user name/password. I know it isn't invalid! So I created another one, and I get the same thing. This time I wrote down the password, so I know it's not me! Now everytime I try to login, I have to say I forgot my password. Then I get an email with a new password...quite annoying...why is it doing this??? Thanks for your help! (link)

Hello there,
Make sure nothing is blocking your browser from being able to accept cookies.
A firewall, or your browser settings may be blocking cookies.
Without the ability to store the log-in info in a cookie, you will constantly be logged out.
Things like Norton Internet Security, NetGuard, etc, can play hell with your ability to use websites if they are configured incorrectly.
Also make sure that you are using a standard browser such as FireFox or Internet Explorer.
The fastest way to find out if it is a browser issue, is to install another browser and try accessing the site that way.
The default AOL browser is pretty terrible for most things, so if you happen to be using that, you should change to a better browser anyway.
If you try this in multiple browsers and you still have trouble, turn off your firewall or security software and see if you can log-in.
If, after that, you cannot log-in, then e-mail me at: dangernerd@gmail.com and we will go from there.

Hi, its me again. Sorry to bug you again but this is the last time. And I really appreciate what youve done for me so far! I think the file is deleted but if my Mom goes to clean out the computer, is there a chance she can find it accidently? I went through the procedure and I dont see the file anywhere in my computer/hidden files. If she gets it all cleaned out and sees all the history, will she see it even if its very hidden? (link)
|
I don't think you understand... Let me try this a different way:
Unless your mom knows the file is there and is going to buy special software to recover the deleted file, or send the computer to the FBI... the file will not be found.
You really should set up an account here.
DN.
|
I got your answer. I have another question.
Is there a simpler way to wipe the file off my computer? My mom is pretty skilled at computers so Im having a lot of trouble covering my tracks since Im not good with computers at all. Im not supposed to download programs either. And it might make her suspicious? If I use the program you suggested, how can I cover my tracks of using it? Is it free and will it mess up my computer? I dont want to wipe off everything from my PC. That is the problem. I just want to get rid of a picture file. (link)
|
Hi there,
I don't think you read my answer. I stated that it was a free download.
Let me save you some trouble since this isn't even your PC...
Ask yourself this question:
Is a government agency going to be looking for this picture? How about the police?
If it is only your mom you are worried about, I would pass on the whole thing.
She would have to specifically be looking for that exact file in order to even have a chance of recovering it.
Whatever this picture is... I wouldn't put any more like it on your mother's computer. I hope you learned your lesson... :-)
DN.
|
|
Im SO glad you are good at computers because I definitely need help. I deleted a picture off my computer and it said "sent to recycle bin." So, I deleted it from my recycle bin. Is there anything I can do to ensure no one will find it on my PC? Is that possible to find or is it permanently gone. (link)
|
Hello there,
A skilled computer technician, or neighborhood nerd could recover it... but they would have to be looking for it.
If you have a tool like Norton Utilities or Norton Systemworks there is a tool with that called "WipeInfo" which will allow you to overwrite all free space on the drive.
That will write a pattern of characters onto the area currently occupied by the hidden remains of that picture.
Once that is done, only a government agency would have the tools to recover that data.
There is a tool called "eraser" which you can download for free. It has an "overwrite free-space" option which will also do what you need.
Here is the download link:
http://www.heidi.ie/eraser/download.php
... Read the instructions carefully, as you can completely overwrite your drive if you do the wrong thing.
It will ask you to confirm before you do anything, so pay attention to the messages and only do what you intended to do.
Once you have eraser or one of the Symantec(Norton) tools... you will be able to completely wipe an individual file, rather that the complete free-space of the drive.
The free-space wipe can take a very long time, so in the future you will want to wipe the files directly through the tool you choose.
DN.
P.S. If you had signed up for an account, you would have had an e-mail when I answered you... Why not sign up? Maybe you can give advice to someone else. :-)
