I came here to answer computer questions. (This used to say "...and nothing more.")


What I meant was, I don't know how much help I would be with other things... NOT that I would be upset if you asked a non computer question!

so i dont know what do to..

I have bangs on the side of my face. and my coach said we can leave them down if we want.

so my main question is.. does anyone know any like cute ways i could put my hair up so it wont look bad on me? im allowed to have bangs out just i dont wanna look bad. so if anyone has any like cute hairstyles for updo's please let me know.

P.s it can be pony tail, pigtails, Braides, One braid, bun Doesnt matter.

Hi there,

Just a quick note... I couldn't pass by this one without adding this:

Guys don't typically curl their hair. With this in mind, how about picking one of the allowed styles and adding the curls you feel make you look your best. He is sure to notice.

P.S. Don't forget to rate your answers... :-)

You want to tell me what THIS was supposed to be?

how would the teacher benefit from getting an A??
(link)
Regular users can't see your previous question, so this makes no sense to them... please ask another question explaining about the assignment from the teacher.


Hey, i really don't mean to come off as rude, but this website is supposed to keep your info private, yet when i googled my e-mail, everything shows up on the internet, ratings and all! are you kidding me?... (link)
Hi there,... you posted your e-mail in the public profile area of your column. I see you have corrected that, so all shoud be well.

The site didn't expose your info, you did. ;-)

Take care.


Hey it's spacefem - I sent you an e-mail about a week ago, just checking in and asking about some things, I was wondering if you saw it? I didn't get a response. No biggy, I know you're busy, I just didn't want it to vanish into the internet void of stuff that gets lost! (link)
I am sorry about that... I didn't want to dash off a two line response to your kind letter, so I was saving it for a day when I could devote a little time to it.

I am starting to think you didn't get my previous e-mail about what has happened here over the last several months.

I will respond soon. Thanks for following up. I thought it had only bee 2-3 days now, sorry if it has been a week.

Talk again soon, promise.

What is advicenator's policy for annonymous inbox questions?? I was just wondering because someone left me an inbox & I might know who it is & I was just curious if it was them or not because they were online at that time. It would make sense if it was them. Are you allowed to give that information out or only in certain situations?? I don't think the person has an advicenators account so I'm not quite sure. How would that work?? Thank you!! (link)
Hi there,

We don't purposefully give out user information except when specifically requested by law enforcement regarding the commission of a crime.

There may be other reasons that the info would be disclosed, but never to another user of the site. Ever.

Thank you,

DN.

Hello there,

Everything I read about the Zune in trying to answer your question, seemed to indicate that the software is kind of a mess.

The one bright spot I noticed was that some people say the Zune support people are very nice and surprisingly helpful.

Getting support for your Zune:

Call the toll-free Zune help number: 1-877-GET-ZUNE (438-9863)

Good luck. Oh, and when you find the answer, could you "Add additional info" to this question, explaining the steps?

Thank you.


I need to download Microsoft Office Publisher (free trial) to finish making a brochure for my project and then I'll delete it.

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/default.aspx

I don't live in USA though and I really need to use the program and then I'll just delete it when i'm done.

You can delete your answer as soon as i rate you! (link)
Here you go:

a really good site called infiniteaddsdotcom (. = dot)

.. my server cant find it. what is wrong? (link)
From the site:

"Sorry guys, thanks for using our site, but our host just decided to terminate everyone and fold up. They didn't warn us they just did, so now we have no server and a month old backup. The new server should be online Thursday and then the site Friday. But may be longer, depends on how fast we can update everything again. Sorry about this, but it's no picnic on our end at all.

-Infiniteadds.com, Andrew

Also, If you had VIP please email me at traingenerator@gmail.com with your friend id, date of purchase, and email used to purchase. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY YOU WILL GET YOUR VIP!

Everything else you need to know should be there once they have everything set back up. Stay tuned for more news in the coming days.



I bought a paid account like three days ago, and it still hasnt showed up... What should I do? (link)
Sorry for the delay. All taken care of.


I just got my dog treated for allergies and the vet put her on chlorpheniramine (twice a day 2 tablets). Now she is throwing up blood mixed in her salava. Is this a side affect? She also was tested positive for heart worms and they put her on Tri-Heart 51 to treat new worms forming. (link)
Hello there,

Call your vet's emergency after hours number, if they are closed now, or find your nearest 24 hour emergency animal hospital, and call them right away.

If there is ever a time where your dog is vomiting blood, that is the time to take your dog to the vet ASAP.

A dog throwing up blood is a serious problem, just like if a person did it.

Imagine it like this:

If YOU suddenly started throwing up blood... how long would it take you to go to the doctor? By my estimation... not very long.

With this in mind, please take care of your puppy right away.

Take care,

DN.


Hey DN!
If I edit an answer that I answered a few months ago, will that person have an update that I edited it? Because I just want to edit my punctuation and spelling, not actual content. (I am fixing answers that I had given a while ago, and it's embarressing having that kind of writing on my column, so I'm fixing it.) So, do they find out that I edited them? Because I don't really want them to.
Thanks! (link)
Hi there,

No they will not hear about it.

I can't tell you how proud of you I am for you taking the time and effort to do this.

If only more people did so, it would be wonderful! :-)

Thank you... and have fun,

DN.

Well i got training on Saturday
At hungry jacks and i've never been to a job training and im really nervous i do something wrong and i don't get the job =[ and i'm just really nervous lol. (link)
Ho there,

Job training is to help you get through the mistakes everyone makes in that particular job.

This is your chance to learn the stuff you need to know in a low-pressure situation, when customers are less likely to be impacted by you being new on the scene.

There is not a thing to worry about. Take notes, and remember: ASK QUESTIONS! (If there is anything you don't understand)

Just don't panic, and you will do fine. :-)

P.S. Don't forget to ask questions... don't be shy. If you are the only one asking questions, it makes you look good, not bad.


does anyone know what the song in the background of this commecial is called? the one where they show a specific player doing really good against other teams. i know its really a song its kind of a rennesance band thingy (link)
The Song is:

"Song played is "Promontory" by Trevor Jones from the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack."

... that was taken directly from the description of the YouTube.com video of the Chargers. The link you sent, had the title.

Click the (more) line on the video description to verify the name of the song played during the Nike commercial featuring the San Diego Chargers.


what do i do if my dogs coughing up blood? (link)
Hello there,

You call your vet's emergency number if it is after regular hours, or you take your dog to the nearest 24 hour emergency vet.

Do it right now.

Don't leave feedback for me, nothing.. get up from your computer and go take care of your dog.... Now!

No time to waste.


On the elf yourself website (office max) its not working yet there updating it or something. i was just wondering if theres another site elf yourself is on? (link)
Finding a working elfYourself.com program will have to wait until the new version goes up.

You see it isn't just a webpage, there are programs that run on servers behind the scenes to do the ElfYourself graphics.

You will just have to wait for the new Elf Yourself site at:

http://www.elfyourself.com/

... to come back online... Sorry! :-(


Ok I have a Canon Pixma MP500 and when I install the software I get a message that pops up and says I need a pin where do you find the pin is it on the box or is it the serial number in the printer (link)
Hi there,

I looked through the manual for your Canon multi-function printer, model MP500 for any sign of a mention of a PIN or P.I.N. Number.

Nothing. :-(

Myself, I would just try the serial number as the pin number just to see if it works.

If that fails and you still need a PIN number to install the software and applications for your Canon MP500 printer, then go here:

http://www.usa.canon.com/consumer/controller?act=ContactCanonAct

... and send a support e-mail, or call Canon toll free by calling their toll-free support hotline:

1-800-828-4040

The main Canon toll free number may also be able to help if the other has long wait times:

1-800-OK-CANON

I hope you have fun with your new Canon mp500 printer once you get this speed bump out of the way. :-)

Hello there,

Please ask questions ONCE. If you continue to ask this question again and again, your account will be deactivated.

Questions are displayed and answered in the order asked. Yours isn't going to be put in front of everyone else's because you ask it several times. Nice try though. ;-)

hey DangerNerd, i was just wondering the difference between a paid account, and a free one. i don't think i have a paid one because i've never gotten a bill or anything, in fact i just recently heard of these. can you please explain the advantage i'd have with a paid account? (link)
Hi there,

Thanks for asking. Please click the "Get More Stuff" link at the top of the page, which contains a list of features you will gain.

Most people like the total lack of ads more than anything.

Thanks again,

DN.
