Does anyone know a website where I can find a list of Canadian postal codes? I searched google but all I could find were sites that I had to put in an address to get the code and I don't have an address...

Try this site:

Hey guys..
Kay well im on xanga & whenever i copy a layout from a site I see sometimes that it says " No jocking If i find you I will report you to authorities!!" But what does that mean? It sounds scary. I take a lot of layouts. Its it like jocking? Im so confused. I want to know so i know what I can do so im not jocking. I dont even know what it means. Please help!

Jocking means stealing. It can mean either using the layout and removing the links that go back to the layout site, or giving out the layout as if you made it.

As long as you link back and you don't try to claim it as your own, you should be fine.

can you have a music playlist from napster & then save it and go on itunes & file and then go to add playlist to your library so that i can download those songs to my ipod?

What format is your Napster playlist in? If it's .m3u or .xml then you can add it to your iTunes by choosing File > Import.

How do you import a playlist that you know is saved to your computer on to a new iTunes playlist but not into your libary just a new playlist. Thanks in advance

Click File > Import and select the playlist file that you want to import. You should see the name of the playlist on the left sidebar.

Anything you have on an iTunes playlist will automatically be added to the library, so you will have the extra files in your library, but you'll also have the playlist, separate from the rest of your library.

Does anyone know any site that i can burn CD's for free. (like i have limewire, but i cant burn CD's i can only listen to them, unless someone out there knows how to) and then i was woundering if anyone knows any good myspace layout sites! i rate 5's if you help! thx guys!

You need a CD burner. If you have one, the software probably comes with it, and most music players (RealPlayer, Winamp, Windows Media Player, iTunes) allow you to burn CDs.

For Myspace layouts try these site:

does anyone know the code to make a flash video from another website play on a site? say for example i get a funny flash in my email and i want to post it into a website i run, how do i do it?

<embed src="Flash Video URL" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="width" height="height"></embed>

Replace "Flash Video URL" with the actual URL of the video, and "width" and "height" with the width and height (in pixels) you want.

okay you know how on a xanga site there is a quote or words or whatever at the top right above the search bar? Well how do you make some words for that different colors and how do you make them on seperate lines like one sentence on top of the other. sorry if this is confusing please just try to help...

Use HTML. Code for colours: <span style="color:(your colour here);">Text goes here</span>. Put a <br> tag where you want to text to go to the next line.

Are there any word processing programs that i can download onto my computer from the internet... get it?? Like you know is there some kind of wordpadish type thingy that you can use with ABC check and that stuff???

Try OpenOffice, it is similar to Microsoft office. You can download it for free from http://www.openoffice.org. You have to download the whole office suite though. That includes Writer (word processor, like MS Word), Calc (spreadsheet program, like MS Excel), Draw (Vector graphics program), Impress (slideshow program, like MS PowerPoint), Formula (math editor), and Databases (database software, like MS Access).

when ever i download the sims2, and i put the thrid disc in, it freezes there, my freind kammi (hi kamz!) said she doesnt know, i have the sims2 doewnloaded on a diff computer, but im not allowed on it, because i got my own, and its my sisters and she doesnt want me to delete the families and stuff like that! can you tell me why its freezing? (it freezes at exactally 49%)

Try deleting all the Sims stuff on that computer and install it again. Of course, it might be a problem with the disc (if that's the case then there isn't much you can do besides getting a new one), but if you managed to install it on your other computer that shouldn't be the case, unless you somehow damaged the disc after you installed it on the other computer.

You can play the Sims on your other computer without affecting what your sister have, make a new account on the computer by going to Control Panel > User Accounts, and play from that account.

Hullo

Just wondering, is it true that phones/cell phones can deepen the tone of your voice, especially a female one? Thanks.

It is normal for your voice to sound different on the phone, but it might not be deeper. For example, I can sing higher on the phone than I normally do.

For the video go to this page for the code:
http://www.urbnmix.net/videos2.php?id=6728_0_10_0_M

For the layout, I can't find any premade Mariah Carey ones, just search on Google for a Mariah Carey picture that you like and I'll write the code for you if you want. I can add text and other effects too.
