before i talk to you i wanted to know if ur a boy cuz i talk to boys easier and yo website aint say

Yeah, I am. For some reason my network settings keep me from sending certain amounts of data, that amount being how much it would take to put somthing in my profile.

im selling this really nice toy machine deck (dark star wheels, ruckus trucks + some weird bearing i have never seen before called rocke) and i am not sure how much i should ask for it. what do u guys think would be reasonable?

ps. its in good condition.

You should get offers on it first. But if it's in good condition, no less than 50 or 60 bucks. I'm assuming those are the original components.

My cd burner used to burn a lot of cds. But then when i moved and had to install all the programs for the computer it didnt work anymore. All the software is in the computer for it also.When i start to burn a cd its spits the cd out and says to lower the speed on my computer, which i did and it still wont work and it sometimes says to use a diff brand of a disk, any ideas on what is wrong or anywebsite to go get a upgrade or a brand of disk that usually works on any burners thanks muhc sry its long

This may or may not help: Lets say your burner is a 32x burner. Lets say the CDs you bought were 24x. By using a 24x CD, your 32x burner should slow down to 24x to accomodate the CD speed. It is the same if you have CDs that are a higher speed than your burner. Make sure you didn't buy CD-RWs unless that's what you have.
Here are some sites:

***Some software requires you to lower the speed yourself, try making it lower than the recommended speed.
P.S. I had the same problem with my CD burner. I couldn't use Imation Cd-r's for some reason.
***Have you tried reinstalling your drivers?

Hmm, okey..
I was just wondering which one of these is best:
WinMx
Bearshare
Kazzaa
Imesh
e.t.c
I've heard some of them give you viruses?
So which one is cheap and doesnt give your computer any viruses?
I appreciate any answers =D
Sorry about the spelling mistakes, just that im in a hurry :P
Have a nice day ;)

I wouldn't recommend downloading music this way...but the best is Limewire. Though it is not on your list, Limewire is spyware free. www.limewire.com

I downloaded Limewire, but it says I have to let my firewalls stop blocking it. Is this safe?

Yes, it is. That shouldn't cause a problem.

I have a Toyota Minolta(sponsored) race car that I am using in endurance races. Since it is more than 1000 horsepower, the gas mileage isn't that great. It is a middle-engine, rear wheel drive monster of a car. Heres the problem: My rear tires are wearing out much faster than my front tires, i know with it being rear wheel drive that it is prone to doing this, but is there a way to prevent it? Should i increase the downforce on the rear wing or would that just cause more problems? Advice please.

Adding more downforce to the rear will reduce oversteer. In doing this, your rear tires should last longer.

anyone got any good pranks to pull on people?

It depends on how much pain, turmoil, and agony you wish to inflict on these people. Lets see...Icy-hot on deodorant, Tobasco on the toothbrush...sticking plastic forks way down in their yards; if you try to pull them up then the handles break off, and if you run the lawnmower over it then it will tear up your lawnmower. Theres always toilet paper...write stuff with a pressure washer on their driveway if it is grimy, but nothing intimidating. Wash one half of someone's car (without them knowing, of course).
You could "misplace" garbage cans or scatter their trash all over their yard, thinking wild animals did it. Password protect their computers so that only you know how to get in to Windows.
Now here are some websites you will might like:

ok, i was just looking at my fingernails and i noticed on a few i have white spots.I seem to always have them.What are they?Is there any way to prevent them?

I think that's an iron deficiency. Try taking iron tablets or eating foods that have more iron.

I want to get a skateboard but I don't know how much it costs. I want a good one but not professional or anything.Does anyone know how much those would cost and maybe a link to a site to see some pictures of a board?Just something good that will last.Where could I get one?Would Target have a good one?

Your best bet would be to go to a skate shop. It'll cost you around $100-$130 to get a decent deck, trucks, bearings, and wheels. You could also go to Academy, they have a few good boards, but don't spend less than 40 bucks on one there. Just remember, you get what you pay for. I would not recommend buying a skateboard at Target, you will regret that. http://www.skateboard.com/shop/completes.asp
This is a link to some pretty good complete decks.

OK i really want to get a Cd burner..can i buy it seperately..without it coming with my computer? (i already have a computer) If so, whats the approximate price range..any suggestions on where to get it or what qualities to look for when i buy one? thank you all!

Yeah, you can buy it seperately. There are two different kinds: internal and external. To install an interal you will have to take the case off of your computer. For an external, all you need is USB or Firewire. Internals are usually cheaper, though, so if you know how to install it then you should get an internal. Some interals are as cheap as 40 bucks. This is the cheapest external I could find: http://www.pcmall.com/pcmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=269054
Or you can check wal-mart, staples, office depot, or compusa; whatever is around you.

Alright, so, my computer sucks. Apparently it's a good computer, but we always have problems with it. For the last few months it's been surprisingly fine. But recently, it starts shutting down with no warning or anything. I haven't noticed a pattern in things that I'm doing when it shuts down, and it's really becoming an inconveinance(sp?). We don't have a anti-virus program, which, I know is incredibly stupid. When I try to start the computer back up, it sounds like a dead engine trying to start up in the tower, but nothing works. Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks!

I think it actually IS a virus. An elderly woman across the street from me had the same problem on her machine. You need to get some kind of virus and spyware remover. But I would NOT recommend anything you have to pay for. A few of those would be AVG, Ad-aware, and Spy-bot S&D. But I have the most experience from Ad-Aware. It looks like AVG is what you need. And no it's not stupid to not have anti-virus software; I have heard that the companies that make the software also make the viruses...so, stay away from things like norton and mcaffee. Anyway, yeah, I think what you have is a virus and you need to get AVG or somthing to remove it. If it's not a virus then you have an even bigger problem...not going there.

What does asl stand for?

ASL is short for "Autobacs Sports Car Laboratories CO." Gran Turismo finally paid off.

I am an artist and was asked to pain a picture of Corona beer. Is it legal for me to paint brand names without infringing on copyright/trademark, etc?

It's fine unless your'e selling it. If your'e selling it then you need to get permission from Corona. Otherwise, it doesn't matter.

If I buy a MP3 player and I want to get some of my favorite songs on there, then where do I get the music? I think/heard that you download it from the internet, but I also heard that was illegal. Is there a legal way for you to get music for your MP3 player? And if so what is it?

You can download them off the internet for free; thats not totally legal. But, you can also buy them and download them, which is perfectly legal. Another think you can do is buy the CD and load them on to your computer and then load them from your computer to your mp3 player.

hi im 15 and my boyfriends 16. although many adults say that us teens dont know what love is teens know when their in love. i just want peoples opinions (teens and adults) on if teens know what love is and also me and my boyfriend are really in love and its NOT lust. we know it. anyways we decided we were going to have sex (no my boyfriends not like that hes never pushed me into sex ever) but were not having sex for the fun of it we really do love eachother. please give us ur thoughts and please dont be mean thanx!~Kelley

Yes, it could be love. But love or not, you should wait until your'e married to have sex.
If you do somthing stupid you could wind up pregnant at 15. Protected or not. I do belive that teens know when they are in "love" though. That's my opinion.

if space wasnt there then what would be?

Good question. But define "space": "noun: the unlimited expanse in which everything is located" (ask jeeves). No one really knows. And technically, we are in space right now. So, where does space actaully begin? or end? Do you mean the dark matter in the vaccum of "space"? If that's the direction your'e going in, then, it could be anything. But it's the way it is for a reason; dark matter. Why? We may never know.

i brush my retainer every day. it still ends up smelling like crap somehow.. my mom called my ortho, and they said to use the stuff that you put dentures in.. i did that, and it still smells bad! does anyone know something good that will get the nasty smell away from my retainer?

Take your toothbrush, put toothpaste on the toothbrush, wet the toothbrush, scrub the retainer down and then rinse it with warm water.

Hey,

I want to buy a compact video camcorder but I want it functional with a Mac computer. Any suggestions if you have any? I want one not too expensive 600 max. Do you have any experience with any good ones?

Please let me know.
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure all of them are as long as they have USB. Of course, if your computer has an RCA input, thats always good too. Wait, do you mean digital camcorder or mini-cassette?
