The_MoUsY_spell_checker's Advice Column

About The_MoUsY_spell_checker

I first signed up because I saw really simple computer questions with no answers, and I just had to answer them. Today, my column still has more answers to questions about computers than anything else, but feel free to ask about anything. I can follow up on questions too.

I have been the featured columnist on 16 October 2005, 01 May 2006, 18 December 2007, 12 July 2008, 02 February 2009, 08 March 2009, 24 May 2009, 29 September 2009, 12 November 2009, 05 January 2010, 06 January 2010, and 26 April 2010.

By the way, here's a Facebook group for Advicenators users: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=3174690640

ill rate 5s

You can't change your IP. However, if you're using dialup it will be different each time you connect. Either way, you should get a firewall if you don't already have one. See this page for some free ones to choose from: http://www.firewallguide.com/freeware.htm

im using limewire for ipod.

how do i get the songs on my ipod? HURRY

First, install the software for iPod connection, if you haven't already done so. (This includes the iPod updater and iTunes)

Now, find the songs that you downloaded on Limewire and add them to your iTunes library.

After that, connect your iPod to the computer and look at iTunes. You should be able to see that you have an iPod connected. There should be an update button on that screen.

ive been going out with this one kid named hugo for about 6 months and he wants sometime alone but while we havent been going out i found this kid at the park and i really got to know him and later that day he asked me out and i said yea and now my ex is saying" forget about me and shit like that nd i dont know if i should still keep going out with this kid or go back out with my ex

Don't go back with your ex. There must've been a reason why you broke up, so move on.

Hey, ok first before I say anything I don't mean to sound conceded... but it's true. Ok, I'm pretty and popular, and like guys like me and stuff... it's just I'm kind of incicure about myself because I'm only a 32 A. I'm probably not going to get any bigger because my mom was a 34 A... so... it just makes me feel really small because most of my friends are starting to get big boobs... and it's not like my small boobs have stopped alot of guys from liking me or anything... it's just kind of depressing. And I want to get a boob job when I'm 16, but I'm kind of scared that something's going to go wrong... so... help!

Don't worry, your boobs will continue to grow (usually until you're around 18 to 20), and it's OK to have small boobs anyway. You'll look nice in halter tops. Cap sleeves and tank tops will make your boobs look bigger.

You know how everyone will tell you " do it when the time is right " well how do you know when the time is right?

It's probably not the right time if you need to ask. You have to decide for yourself.

How do you french braid your own hair? what are some tips & tricks? thanks.

See this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_braid

It's actually quite a difficult hair style to do, so keep practising.

I was wondering if anyone knew of any foods that make you feel full but contain very few calories?

Thanks =)

Vegetables with a lot of fibre have very few calories (especially celery and carrots), I'm not sure if they make you feel full though.

Meat also makes you full because of the protein, and chicken breast is quite low in fat.

If you want to lose weight, remember that it's not a good idea to crash diet.

Okay heres the thing, i know how to blend pictures and everything but i dont know how to give it a certain color. Like this picture... http://images.xangans.com/xanga/04/0870_img1.jpg it has 4 different colors, like a tone. I want to do that to my picture but i dont know how to.

Any one ill rate a FIVE!!!!~!~


If it matters, i have picture it! express and animation shop 3

See if there is a "color" option in the paintbrush tool. (It should be along with things like "Normal", "Dissolve", "Hard Light" and more) That can be used to make the photo colored.

If there isn't such a function in the programs that you currently have, you can download the GIMP at http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html (http://gimp.org if you're NOT using Windows), there are lots of things you can do with it and it's free.

how can you make pictures look black and white and stuff because my camera doesnt take blakc and white pictures

Download the GIMP at http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html (http://gimp.org if you're NOT using Windows), then use the Paintbrush tool and set it to "color", then choose black as the foreground color and paint over the whole image.

style="filter:gray" only works in Internet Explorer, so I wouldn't reccommend it unless you want to take a screenshot of that and save it.

hi, my website is http://www.freewebs.com/locoreality and I really need to know how to get a guestbook on your site where people can leave messages. My shoutboxes are too small. So does anyone know a site that I can get a guestbook on?

-Johanna (twistedsister17)

Here, a lot to choose from: http://www.google.com/search?q=guestbook

If you want to make the shoutbox bigger, you can change the height and width of the iframe. However, if you mean it's too small as in the word limit is too small then there isn't much that you can do.

what age/grade will your friends start to act more mature, and start being more than just someone to laugh with. you know, when will it be easier to find that one true friend, cause i'm pretty young, and i dont think anyone is that mature enough that they are the kind of friend that will give you a shoulder to lean on when your sad, or you can call anytime just 2 talk, you know that kind of stuff. does anyone know what age>

It really depends on the individual. I have a friend who's younger than me and sometimes she actually seems more mature than me.
