put a pic on your advice collumm??

You can only add one picture, see lauraxomichelle. There isn't any way to add more than one.

If you use my Tri-Star layout:

You can use a link like this to create a sort of slideshow:

(People reading from my column: click "[view]" to see the neat code you can use to make a slideshow. Only works with Tri-Star, though!)

I'm a Gemini. What does that really mean? I really don't know. I know you can read something in the paper, but what does A gemini really mean?.. 16/f thanks! =]

It means you were born between May 21st and June 20th. That's it.

If daily predictions were true, every person on earth would have the same things happen to them. 561,527,179 people apparently need to listen to their emotions today, and may be keeping something from a friend.

Places that tell you of your personality according to your sign use contradictory statements to make sure they're at least partly right.

how to i get a clip from youtube and save it to windows media movie maker? and how do i get music from the internet and also save it to windows media play or movie maker? thx

Follow the instructions here:
http://zamzar.com/url/

In step 2, convert to "wmv" for youtube videos. For audio, convert to "wma"; you can also extract the audio from videos by doing this.

You can then move the wmv or wma file to movie maker normally.

How do you uninstal rhapsody when it won't open at all. It always says error, can't open or something like that. Is there another way to uninstal it?

You can simply delete the Real Rhapsody folder from C:\program files. Then go to start, run and type:

msconfig

Go to the "startup" tab and make sure anything associated with Real is unchecked.

That will prevent Rhapsody from running and delete most of its files, though there will still be leftover registry entries and files. It's fine to just leave those files, they won't harm anything.

If it takes 129KJ of energy to propel a rocket 2KM, how much energy is required to propel the rocket 2.24KM?



I really need help & if you can do this, you don't have to tell me the answer just tell me how I can do it and how I can get the answer.

-If it takes !!129KJ!! of energy to propel a rocket !!2KM!!, !!how much energy!!(x) is required to propel the rocket !!2.24KM!!?(identify important bits)
-129/2=x/2.24 (translate into a math problem)
-129*2.24=288.96 (multiply)
-288.96/2=144.48 (divide)
-x=144.48
-144.48KJ is required to propel the rocket 2.24KM

If you don't understand the math, you're not going to be able to do the science. You didn't need to know any formulas at all for this, just fractions.

Is it even possible to transfer a YouTube video from YouTube to your iTunes and then onto your iPod?

If so- I would really like to know how.

And I hate these type of questions too- but I searched past questions and couldn't find anything that answered this and I thought you would know best =D.

The easiest way is to go to:
http://www.zamzar.com/url/
Put the youtube URL in the first box(the normal URL, no need to link directly to the .fla). In the second select "ipod"(under "video"). Put your email in and convert. You'll get an email with the download link after a while(less than an hour).

I don't use itunes, but I know there is a way to put media files into it without buying. I believe you just drag the file into it, but I could be wrong. Try reading the documentation.

okay, there's this website, dafont.com
and it lets you download the font you want.
but i see ppl with cute phrases on there myspace profile where extended network goes or anywhere with them cool fonts. once you get the font how do you get it on your page?

text

The user needs to have installed the font for it to show, so you're usually restricted to the windows default fonts. If you do it like this:

text

Font2 will show up if the user doesn't have font1. So hello will be Arial for Windows users(who have arial installed) and Helvetica for Mac users(who don't have Arial, but do have Helvetica).

i use wireless internet on my laptop (a dell latitude d600, if that matters.) for the past maybe month or so, my computer will say i'm connected at a good signal strength, but my internet still won't work. i've done a full scan of my computer using ad-aware se but nothing helps. i know my stuff, but i can't seem to figure out what's wrong. can ANYONE help? i'll add additional info if neccessary.

Please download this file:
http://in.solit.us/archives/download/63263
Move the file to your laptop(use a floppy, cd, USB, etc.) and run it. Follow the instructions and send me info1313.txt, on your desktop. I'll try to find out what's wrong using that info. If you add the file in the "additional info" section, remember that you won't be informed when I edit my answer, so you'll have to regularly check back.

I downloaded the gimp, and its the most confusing thing ever. I can't figure it out. I seriously wish I had my adobe back. I knew how to do everything on that. I don't even know where to begin with the gimp!

Use GIMPshop instead, then. It looks a bit like photoshop, but it's built on the GIMP:

how do you take a movie online and save it to a folder on the computer so that i can burn it to a disc?

Don't use bitlord, it's closed-source adware-infested junk. Read my guide on bittorrent:

Alright, so I would like to have a bigger vocabulary. I would like to be able to speak with big words, and know what they mean. Does anyone have any sites or any ways i could learn bigger words? Please and thanks!

Whenever you don't know something, read the entire article on Wikipedia. When you find a word on wikipedia you don't know, look it up. You can use google, like this
only search advicenators.com


This will surely expand your vocabulary.

Use the GIMP, it's free:

(install GTK+ 2 first, and then the GIMP)

How do i download a font on dafont.com and use it in Paint on my computer?
thanks

Go to start, then run. Type this(exactly):

explorer %systemroot%\fonts

Press ok. A window will open with all of your fonts in it. Simply drag new fonts into that window; they will be automatically installed and usable from any program. If the fonts are in a zip file, you'll have to extract them first.

http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html
On that website it has many downloads and I'm not sure which ones I'm supposed to download! Can anyone tell me which ones I'm supposed to download and why? (I have Windows XP

Did you read the page? It's pretty clear:
"If this is the first time you're installing The GIMP, you will also need GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment below."

"This package is required to run The GIMP on Windows 2000 and newer. If you have older version of Windows, install GTK+ 2.6 instead."
