A long time ago I made this stupid website on kidkountry.com and when you type my name into google that's what comes up and I really REALLY want to delete it, but I don't remember my password or "code name" or anything like that because it was such a long time ago. Is there anyway I can delete it? Or not make it come up when you type my name into google? Please it's so embarressing

Email the administration and ask them to remove it. If they won't, claim that you are under 13 years old; they'll freak out and remove your site.

You are stuck in a room with no windows or doors. a solid room. Only things in this room is a mirror and a table. how do you escape?

Break the mirror. The bad luck will make something smash the house open ;) . If this is a serious question, then you're out of luck, I doubt there is a way. If it's a riddle, I'd be interested to know the answer. Please include it in you feedback, or email me when you find out.

hey!
Well it seems like everytime I come on this site I find another person using another slang word or symbol I don't understand lmao. So I was just wondering what the percent symbol means or if it even means anything. I know, it's a stupid question but I was just wondering lol. Thanks

I'm not completely sure of my eye color. I'm "iffy" on the classification of it. Is there an eye color chart someone could link me to? I think it's a bluish-green, but I want to be accurate. Thank you for those who respond!

Can someone help me how to type properly? There was this program like Mavis Becan at school to help me type properly but I still didn't get it.

I don't type properly but I don't type in like a weird way or anything but my cousin was in high school and he's like if you don't type properly the teacher can give you a low mark in computer class.

I'm going to high school next year and I'm worried

Left hand on ASDF(index finger on F). Right hand on JKL;(index finger on J, little finger on semicolon). You'll notice there are bumps on F and J, so you know where to put your index fingers. Some free software:

It's very important to learn how to type. If you plan on working any kind of desk job, you will be tested for it.

I don't know why but recently my computer at the corner with the time, has been giving out the wrong date and other users on the computer including me are tired of keep changing it.

We shouldn't be checking the calendar for the time, that's what that part in the ocmputer is for!

Does anyone know how to make sure it stays at the right time for sure? Like the date today said the date yesterday (april 21) and we changed it but later it might change to a diff date

Double click the time in the lower right. Go to the "internet time" tab. UNcheck "automatically synchronize with internet time server". It should be fixed.

does coffee stunt ur growth?

No. Stunted growth comes from malnutrition, and coffee doesn't cause that. If you drink coffee instead of eating, then it would stunt your growth.

I just tried smoking tea for an experiment and not getting much out of it.I started to actually feel something significant so I hopped online to do some research...and I read that tea contains LSA (a natural,less powerful form of LSD).Is this true?

I wasn't able to find anything saying tea contains LSA or gets you high. I was able to find a few articles that say it will not get you high. It could be a placebo effect you're feeling.

I need a way to bypass the routers security so i can still access the internet even though my computer will be blocked from it. My stepdad plans on doing this at 12 tonight..so i need a program to do this.. so any help would be grateful

There's a small switch on most routers that resets it. This will unblock everything. There's no software way of disabling a router, since there's no communication from the computer to the router(except for the web interface). If you send me a personal question with the router brand and model number, I might be able to help you further(I won't notice if you add "extra info" to this question).

my friend gave me his ps2 that i know worked at his house but wen i hooked it up on my tv for every disk i put it kept saying disk read error... and i tried like 10 disks... can anyone tell me whats wrong with the ps2 or how i could fix it

Use Gas Duster and a damp lint-free cloth to clean out the inside of the disk tray. If that doesn't work, you can follow this guide:
http://arstechnica.com/articles/paedia/hardware/ps2.ars

It's possible you knocked something loose in the move. A repair place might be able to fix it.

how can i delete my yahoo e-mail account?

The email account is tied to the entire yahoo account, so you have to delete your entire yahoo account. You can do so here:
https://edit.yahoo.com/config/delete_user
This will delete all your yahoo.com info.

You might also be able to delete it by not logging into yahoo mail for 4 months.

i made a crossword on this website-

http://www.puzzle-maker.com/CW/

and at the bottom, you see how it says,

Note: For a fee, you can use Crossword Weaver to print a nice copy of this puzzle (one that doesn't look like a web page). You can check it out for free by downloading the demo from www.CrosswordWeaver.com .

well. i figured out how to delete all that stuff (file, print preview, page setup, margins & header/footer, blank for all). but now, it's PERFECT except for the "note: for a fee..." ! and i CANNOT figure out how to delete it!

i've tried copying and pasting to microsoft word, but the boxes get screwed up.

& do NOT want to download the demo from crossword weaver - i tried & it doesnt work.

i've also tried googling other FREE crossword makers, but they are all weird & i like this one the best.

is there a way to delete it on the computer before printing WITHOUT messing up the crossword puzzle?

thank you!

**edit: it's extremely easy to remove the ad footer in the HTML. Just scroll to the bottom of the HTML and find "note for a fee you can use..." Just delete the entire text within , and including the tags. I'm glad I've been of service to you, and you are very welcome.**

Right click the crossword page and select "save page as", and save it on your desktop. Right click that HTML file and click "edit". If you know HTML, it should be easy to remove the advertisement. If not, you can upload the HTML page to a site like http://megaupload.com , send me a private question(not feedback) with the link, and I'll remove it for you.

hey.

when you write a name of a roller coaster in a formal
paper, how would you correctly punctuate it?

example: for a book, one italicizes or underlines the title. for a song, one puts it in quotes.

thank youu.

Capitalize the first letter in each word of the name. Just like you would in The US Capital. You don't need to do anything else.
