I came here to answer computer questions. (This used to say "...and nothing more.")


What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

I have my learner permit. I was driving my friend car. I hit the car in front of me. I am 18 year old. and my friend is 21 years old. who take the responsibility for the car's damage? thanks (link)
Unless there is something you left out, then whoever was driving the car that caused the accident, in this case you, is typically responsible for paying the damages.


(PLEASE TELL ME HOW FAST)


So my internet volume isn't working. I just (like 20 min. ago) was messing with my recording system for the screen, trying to figure out if I can record the screen with the actual, original sound. Anyways it said something about retry so I did. Nothing. Than on the second time it said run so I was just like whatever (and I know, very stupid of me :/) and clicked run. It didn't work but when I was trying to play youtube or netflix it wouldn't work. So I went on itunes and everything on my laptop works.

The internet doesn't. I am a young teen meaning middle school so don't make this too diffiult on me please. I've tried this shift+esc thing than control panel and I have no freakin' idea what task bar is... so I need major help.

But yes I'd like to try this on my own and repair it without spending money, or having to call someone in.

Thank you in advance.

HURRRRRRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!! (link)
Hi there,

First things first: If you haven't already, please restart your computer.

Once you have done that, and verified that you still have a problem, then here is the next step:

RIGHT-Click the speaker icon, down by your clock (lower right side most often) and then, click "Open Volume Mixer."

You will then be presented with a bunch of volume control sliders. You will be able to scroll the list of them left and right, if the one we want isn't right there.

Look for one called: "Internet Explorer" (or FireFox, or Chrome, or Opera... whatever web browser you use) and make sure it isn't muted, and the volume slider is all the way up.

If that doesn't help, then this is next:

I am going to roll with the idea that you are using internet explorer. If you aren't, then you can write and let me know which browser you use, and I can walk you through this next step in a different browser:

On the file menu in IE (File Edit View... etc.) Click "Tools" then "Internet Options."

Click the tab titled "Advanced."

Scroll down the list of options until you see a section called: "Multimedia."

Look for a checkbox that says: "Play sounds in webpages."

Make sure that box is checked.

Restart your browser if you checked that box, and you should be in business.

If not, then let me know.

A couple things you should know:

The system tray is that place on the lower right where your clock is.

The task bar is that bar across the bottom of your screen where all the programs you currently have running are shown.

Maybe this will help for the future when you need to follow instructions for something else.


C I wrote on fb tht if I get 60 likes on a status ill dress up as Santa on Friday. I only expected 20 likes but got 99 likes. Idk about it though (link)
Well, if you promised, then you keep your word. Otherwise, people will no longer trust you.

Hope you enjoy your time in the suit. :-)


Do you have a stories for me.

Could you please give a little more information?


i parcipiated sex with 2 condoms at a time... once those r damaged... but work not at completed....after 10 days i went to hospital for checking... i got result HIV Negative.. Is it any problems in future? (link)
HIV can take as long as 10 YEARS to show up in rare cases.

You should wait al east 6 months before having sex again, so that you can be tested at 6 months and see what your result is.

How do I export memory card photos to a MacBook Pro?

I can't find the cord that came with my newly purchased Nikon D5100 (I hope to find it or get a replacement soon) but in the meantime, I'd like to export the photos that I've taken thus far that are on the Sandisk Extreme 16 GB memory card that I've used.

I can't find any topics on the HP Support pages for the Mac version of the HP Officejet 6500A Plus.

Any ideas? (link)
I am really surprised your macbook pro doesn't come with a memory card reader already, but the simple answer is to use one of them none the less.

You can purchase a memory card reader which just plugs into a USB port and has slots for just about every known memory card type that has been used in the last decade.

These are cheap, and available just about anyplace. Even department stores carry them these days.


I made a huge bowl of mascarpone (cheese) buttercream filling, can I freeze what is left? (link)
The answer is: Yes, you CAN, but you probably won't like what happens to it when you thaw it out.

Taste of home has a great thread on the topic of freezing mascarpone cheese:

http://community.tasteofhome.com/community_forums/f/30/p/289207/290558.aspx#290558

There are some tricks to getting it MOSTLY back to the original texture, and this thread lists all of them of which I am aware.

Happy baking!

Stop asking the same question over and over. It has been answered already.


What is a food chain for: moon cactus, succulent cactus, asparagus fern, ivy plant, crickets, spiders, and super worms? (link)
As was already explained to you... please do your own homework. If you are having trouble understanding the process, or some specific step of your project, please ask. Just don't ask people to do your homework for you.

Thanks.


I used to operate a website that I recently took down, but whenever someone googles my name my address and phone number show up. A stalker recently looked up my name and then contacted me and he's driving me crazy, and I'm really afraid of him. I need a way to scrub my info off google. How do I do that? It's really crucial the situation is getting out of hand.
Please help. Thank You. (link)
Hi there,

First things first: Call your phone company and set up anonymous call blocking. That way they will have to reveal themselves if they want to ring you up. :-)

You should also make the call to the police, so that you can get on record as having history with this person. That way, when you do block the "unknown caller" business, and they begin calling you anyway, you can can point to the police report and prove that this has been going on a while.

As for getting your info off google... well, unless it is on a google owned property, like Google+ then Google has little control over this.

I will make you a deal. If you provide me with links to the things you want removed, I will do my best to find a removal contact for each instance. I have had pretty good luck with this in the past.

Please file that police report today, and if you are being e-mailed, etc, do NOT delete those e-mails, IMs etc, without specific police instructions to do so.

Let me know if I can help you further.

DN.


there are 7 instantes in the bible where godly men commited suicide and they are not in hell you are not God so you do not know where there soul will ended up however i do if there saved they go to heaven if there not they will go to hell NOTHING CAN SEPERATE YOU FROM THE LOVE OF GOD not even yourself (link)
Hi there,

Guessing you didn't mean this to go to me, but the person you meant it for doesn't allow inbox questions, so I got it anyway.

Would you do me a favor? Would you please list the 7 instances in the bible where men of God committed suicide and then it plainly states they are in heaven?

I went looking and was unable to find even one, but I am sure I am just looking in the wrong place.

Thank you.

Could you be a little more specific?

Perhaps list ideas you are starting with and see if anyone can provide a new angle on one, or something?

Thanks.


Ok so for a project my class individually was assigned to create a little ecosystem with a fish tank and then do the scientific method and stuff. The living idems I had in mine are: moon cactus, succulent cactus, asparagus fern, ivy plant, crickets, spiders, super worms. My scientific method sheet thing is due next friday before christmas break. I want to create a food web or a food chain for this. Can someone please help me with a food chain for these biotic elements please? Thanks!!! (link)
Hi there,

Once you understand how to do this, it is very simple. If you are asking the folks here to do the actual work for you, that isn't going to happen, but if you need help understanding the process, and for some reason your teacher isn't willing to help you, then please see this search:

only search advicenators.com


... for tutorials.

If there is a specific step in the process your are stuck on, then please ask a more specific question and someone may be able to help you better.

Good luck with the project!


can mixing of sperm with water while washing enter to vagina nd cause pregnancy when its my 3rd day of perid nd m wearing pad?? (link)
Very unlikely, but it is always possible.

You will find out in a month, when your next period is due.


At the end of September i received a shot for an etopic pregnancy. My cycles are not normal at all, i usually get my period every month or every two months sometimes three. I was told that when my body goes through a cycle is when i will release a blood clot. It's been two months and its finally happened. Does it just turn into a period for a week or two? Has anyone gone through this or have any info. I already know the side effects from the shot since i had those when i actually got it. (link)
I am sorry nobody has been able to answer this for you, but only a doctor would be qualified to answer this. My suggestion is to pick up the phone and call the person who is providing your medical care, as the person who prescribed the Methotrexate is going to have a far better grip on what is going on with you than an early teen might. :-)


Hey DN.

I noticed that there aren't too many new questions a day. I still think this is the best advice website. I have tried others recently and they're terrible, especially concerning response times. Has there been less traffic/people asking questions? If you ever need help with approvals, let me know. I'd love to help in any way.

Thanks!

Howdy Meg,

Sorry for the delay in responding. My inbox is such that if I say: "Oh, I want to answer that when I have time for a longer answer..." it then gets buried, and is a while before I dig my way back. :-(

I appreciate your offer, and will likely take you up on it sooner than later. Right now, however, there is a backlog of questions to deal with, not a shortage.

Something to remember: If you don't see new questions being posted, it may well be because nobody has answered one lately. There are only 20 unanswered questions posted at any one time. When someone answers one, a new one is automatically placed on the site for people to answer.

This was done to prevent questions being buried on page 3 and never being answered, which used to happen quite regularly.

Thanks again for your offer,

DN.


I'm at school, and I just received my period. Is there a way to ease them, I have no medication of any sort available to me. (link)
Do you have a friend who has already started her period? You might ask her for something, or ask to see the nurse, who will be able to help also.

Please don't be embarrassed. It happens, and all your female friends will understand.
