Ok first off I have a physics class and right now I somewhat get 25% of what we are learning now. It's something like converting measurements, here's an example: Convert 4.6m into km and one's like 2.1x10 to the sixth power and turn that into a differnt kind of measurement. There was an example of how it was done but it wasn't very helpful to me cause I need like full detail of how it's done. Does anyone know a site or can anyone tell me STEP BY STEP how to do those?
symbol|prefix|multiple|move decimal
------------------------
k kilo 1000 ←3
h hecto 100 ←2
da deca 10 ←1
m meter, g gram, L liter 1
d deci 0.1 →1
c centi 0.01 →2
m milli 0.001 →3
You need to memorize that chart. To convert from meters to da, you move the decimal point one to the left. To convert from da to k, you move the decimal point 2 to the left. To convert from k to m, you move the decimal point 6 to the right. To convert from d to m, you move the decimal point 1 to the left. If you're moving up the chart, the decimal is going left, if you're moving down the chart, the decimal is going right.
If there isn't a decimal point shown on a number, you put it at the very end. 50000 becomes 50000.0.
400 meters to decameters. Move the decimal one to the left: 40.0. The answer is 40 decameters.
7000hm to dm. Move the decimal 3 to the right: 7000000dm. (If you move the decimal to the right and there is nothing there, create a zero).
1313cL to kL. Move the decimal 5 to the left: 0.01313kL.
Simplify 343300kg. Make it into the lowest unit you can without making it a decimal. You want to move it 5 places to the left, so it will turn into cg. 3.433cg.(drop zeros at the very end of a decimal)
The other thing is scientific notation. 2.1x10^6=2100000.
4.11x10^5. It's the same as the conversions above, but instead of looking at the chart, just move it to the right by the power. So move the decimal point on 4.11 5 to the right: 411000.
2.15x10^-3. Move the decimal to the left instead of the right for negative numbers. So move the decimal point on 2.15 3 to the left: 0.00215
You can then convert the number normally, if you need to do that.

Please. This is so important. I need a wiccan to respond to this. Me and my friend are afraid. Please, I can't describe it through this, i just need to ask a question or two. Please I'm begging you.
I know more about Wicca than most Wiccans, so if you have a question about the religion, you can ask me; if you want a "spell" cast, look elsewhere.
Remember than I can't respond to feedback or "additional info".

Why does the price of computers and other electronics drop constantly while the price of other items remains pretty much the same?
For example, computers used to cost 4 or 5 thousand dollars, but now are available for as little as 1000 (even the improved ones with lots of memory, etc.); while the price of furniture and other items remains about the same.
They're making furniture the same way they have been for decades. With electronics, the technology is being constantly improved to be cheaper, faster, and smaller. Processors are made completely different than they were 5 years ago, and they were *invented* just 30 years ago.

If I go to mrskin.com (it's a "nude" celebrity website) and i delete the history, cookies, and temporary internet files, will anything stay in my computer that might pop up out of nowhere, like nude celebrities?!?
Please answer!

You need to shred free disk space to delete it permanently. History remains after you delete. Read my answer at the link for more info.

I'm looking for programs that have free mp3s available for download.
(Please don't say Limewire =/ Everyone says limewire is the best but it's too hard to find a "good source" to download and then when it finally finds one the DL goes really slow. Don't say bearshare either, because I downloaded over 60 songs off bearshare before realizing iPod wasn't compatible with .wma format. >>>:[[[[[)
thanks in advance!
My guide on P2P(programs similar to limewire):

You can convert wma to mp3 using zamzar: http://zamzar.com or mediacoder: http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/

On Microsoft word I can no longer use apostrophes. Every other key works but that one. Every time I try to use one it just makes a big space instead of an apostophe. I pulled up some of my old essays also, and where the apostrophes used to be, there are now giant spaces and the 's's after them. Any ideas?
I answered this here:
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=501753
It's usually because the "US-international" keyboard is being used, that layout replaces certain keys with spaces.

i asked this question:
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=513262
thanks for the website, but i cant seem to get it to work :(
everytime i try and upload a video, it says an error occured.
what to do?
Yes, I just tried it and it doesn't work with Myspace anymore. It looks like Myspace has recently changed its system, and old methods no longer work. You'll have to wait for everyone to adapt to the new system before you'll be able to extract videos. I'm sure zamzar will work within the next week.
Myspace uses a new system that makes it difficult to find where the videos are actually located, so I can't tell you how to do it manually.
[view]
okay well ill try my best to explain this
but how do you upload a video from a different url onto photobucket, for example..
say the videos on myspace
and you dont want to use that url,
can you upload the video onto photobucket without actually having it on your computer?
or is there anyway to download a video from myspace videos onto your computer, that way you can upload it onto photobucket?
pleaseeee help
thanks
I was starting to write a giant guide on how to do it manually, then I realized that someone after me is just going to post a single link that does it automatically. So put the link here:
http://zamzar.org/url/
and convert it into anything you want. It'll email you a URL that you can give to photobucket if photobucket accepts URLs. If it doesn't, you can download it yourself and upload it.

i have this old compact computer i was trying to repair it but i would always get that blue screen of death,so i deleted the file sistem of windows xp so i can reinstall it but it keeps restaring while its formatting or the blue scrren of death appears but i dont have any ile system installed on my computer, any i deas
If you get a BSOD when installing windows from the CD, the install CD is broken. You can buy a new one, download a pirated version, or install a different operating system:
http://tinyurl.com/2vtpl2 This is the retail version, which is more expensive than the OEM version, but has some advantages.
http://tinyurl.com/2l9l2n You need bittorrent to download anything here, and it is illegal.
http://www.ubuntu.com/ Windows programs don't work on linux. Ubuntu is a friendly distribution, so you won't have to use the command line very much at all.
If you get a BSOD from something else, remove all disks from the computer, burn DBAN to a floppy, and run on "autonuke" mode for a few hours. All the data will be destroyed and you should be able to easily format it with the install CD:

Hypothetical situation: So, I'm in love with a girl, and she is doing everything in her power to repeatadley break my heart. I feel completely...
What word am I looking for?
Broken, lost, discarded, destroyed, tortured, small, helpless, trapped, empty, cheerless, dejected, despondent.
Hopefully I've captured it, but you should understand that there isn't a single word for every emotion. I also hope you're just writing something and not actually in that situation; if you are, best of luck and take the columnist below me's advice.

hello :) i was just wondering if there are any good working music downloaders that don't cost.. i know that limewire is free but isnt it true that if you dont pay for the songs that you can get a huge fine in the mail? i need some advice !! thanks :)
Nothing good is both free and legal. MP3sparks is legal and very cheap(about 15 cents for a single song):

Here is my guide on P2P, which is all illegal:

And here's a question with information on how likely it is that you will be caught:

does anyone know about antidepressants and serotonin syndrome? i took paxil for the first time earlier and my heart is pounding and i have the chills and like cold clammy hands and i kinda twitch a little. it said heart pounding is a highly unlikely but rare side effect. im the type who is like eh i'll just rough it out. what do you know about this? is it really that bad?
Here are the symptoms:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serotonin_syndrome#Symptoms
It is a very rare illness, and those symptoms can also be caused by nerves (maybe from reading the crazy side-effects you can get from antidepressants). I wouldn't personally go to the doctor just yet, I'd probably see if my temperature was unusual (±2°F from 98.2°F). If you decide you do have serotonin syndrome, I recommend going to a hospital immediately, as it can be deadly.
In any case, stop taking the medicine and talk to your doctor, you shouldn't experience symptoms like that.

do patients with these conditions feel pain or not? if they have gangrene on their hand and it turns black can they still move it, or does the disease slowly make its way down their arm until they have to be cut off? thnx in advance.
They feel extreme pain and can still move it during the first stages of gangrene. Later on, the affected appendage gradually grows numb, from the outside in.
Gangrene doesn't always spread, it depends on the source of the infection. Sometimes the appendage(especially individual fingers and toes) will just "fall off", and leave the rest of the body unharmed.

I just started taking paxil today. I know with antidepressants, there is a risk of weight gain. And this might sound stupid, but do you gain weight because the drug makes you want to eat more or is it something like retaining water? Thank you.
It actually makes you more hungry and thirsty. To stop weight gain, you should make sure you eat the same amounts of everything, and to drink only water. It also makes you feel weak, like you're starving to death (you're not, don't worry).

My therapist says that i have depression that has led to anxiety, and then to Agoraphobia. Is there a chance that these could also lead to or be linked to expressing anger at everyone, even at people i dont want to, like loved ones, or figures of authority or even crushes, even if i take it back and make a joke afterwards, lately i just come off as an angry, anti-social girl [15] to everyone, and i really dont want to. any insights?? also, does anyone know what other involutary things are a cause of depression? thnx for reading.
Could be, depression is linked with many different psychological problems, like bipolar disorder and anger management issues. Your best bet is to talk to your therapist. Also, if they have diagnosed you with clinical depression, you need medication and should see a trained psychiatrist so they can write you a prescription(some therapists can't).

during the weekends, and specially in the summer i sleep a whole lot, and when i'm at home, i always prefer to be on my bed watching tv or something, i'm only 15[f], but i'm scared to death that i might get a bed sore/ulcer or something. am i too young to get these or should i be worried already? are they cureable??
Unless you lay down for days straight, you don't have to worry. People get bedsores when they've been confined to their bed for weeks or months. See this(written for hospital staff):

if you get a score of 11 of below, you're at risk. I will be very surprised if you get less than 20.

I have a new, blank 700MB (703 to be more exact) CD-R & I was trying to write 141.1MB amount of songs on it from my iTunes & the iTunes said that the CD didn't have enough space. How is that possible?
Thanks, lauraxomichelle, you are correct.
Songs are burned onto CDs in an uncompressed RAW format, so they take up a lot more space. If you want to just store stuff on CDs, you can use the "data" option on your CD burning software, and the songs will stay compressed. If you do that, the CD will still play on computers, but not on CD players.
