  • My best friend and I have agreed on pretty much everything for years and even wear each other's underwear. But now we have a disagreement.?

    Which would you rather do, a task you know nothing about until you agree to it and you will have to do it many times over a couple of weeks, or a task you know, is a bit uncomfortable but will make all ur friends (and family members!) jealous, and it's your choice how long, but minimum 10 minutes.

  • I, along with millions of others, hate the new Answers format!!?

    I usually go to Science and Mathematics, then Mathematics. It used to take a couple quick clicks but now I have the category list down the left side & I have to hit More to get Science and Math to pop up & there is a circle thing going around on my screen for about 15 seconds before that happens, then I have to click again to search for Math and I get the circle again, then I have to click Math & I get the circle a third time before actual math problems pop up. I've answered nearly 4000 questions but I won't go thru this every time to answer more. If you know a better site to answer math questions, please list it here so I can start using that!

  • Accessing Netflix on wireless bluray, sometimes say "Try again later" & other times it works. Why?

    It is wireless, does this mean sometimes my signal is too weak? Do wifi signals change strength throughout the day for some reason? Our wireless is at the computer & I sometimes can't get Netflix to come on even when no other wireless devices in the house are running. Would a wifi signal booster help? We have a netgear wireless & I've seen netgear wifi boosters at Frys, is that what I should try?

  • Tough Microsoft Outlook Calendar question?

    Whenever I have something like a doctor's appt, my boss wants me to include him on a meeting request so he can see that I'm gone on his calendar. I want to set my time as busy so no one else schedules a meeting with me during that time, however that also shows up on his calendar as he is busy. So I need to set up two different items - an appt with just me showing I'm busy & a meeting with both of us showing time as free. Is there a way around this? I set up a single event that shows up on both our calendars, but shows me busy & him free?

  • I hate itunes!!! How do you delete a song from a playlist...?

    I found a million answers to very similar questions, but none on EXACTLY how to delete a song from your playlist but not your library. I've tried every combo of right clicking, checking, etc. Please include everything, don't say "do it from the control box", say, "do it from the control box, but to get that open you click on the file menu, then settings,........etc. THANKS.

  • ON A PC, NOT A MAC: How do I copy an itunes playlist to an iphone 4s?

    Please don't say to just plug it in & sync. Please give me all settings I need to set before the first time, all steps I need to take, etc. The playlist is ready, the phone is ready, you think Apple, the inventors of drag & drop, could make this WAY easier. THANKS!

  • Excel 2007 - Setting so trig functions are in degrees?

    First, & everyone will ignore this, I ALREADY KNOW THE FORMULAS TO CONVERT FROM RADIANS TO DEGREES, so I'm not look for those. Instead, where can you change a setting so Excel works in degrees? I can't believe it doesn't exist, $10 calculators have it. Also, 90% of Americans wouldn't know what a radian is, so I can't believe it would be the default.

    Thanks!!

  • MS outlook - color days on the 30 day calendar?

    I always have trouble keeping track of how many vacation days I've used. I've had two this year, so I went back & opened an all day event called Vacation one one day & picked color catagory Red and on the 30 day calander & then I did the same thing on the other vacation day, but in this case it colored the event AND the whole day on the calendar red. I'd like to do that on all my vacation days, but can't figure out what I did differently to make the whole day red. Help?

  • MS Word - color of font on new text?

    I've seen this question several times before but have trouble believing the answers given are the only options. If I am reading a document that is typed in black & want to add words in various places that are in lets say red, how do I set it so everything I type is automatically in red. BUT I don't want to use change tracking, that is confusing & can be turned off. I also don't want to have to change my font color everytime I move my mouse. Without doing one of these two things, is it possible? It really seems like that would be a super basic, and obvious, feature.

  • excel chart range, how do I change this?

    I am graphing weights on the vertical axis. They are between 200 & 300 pounds. But the chart goes from 0 to 300 automatically, so all the lines look pretty flat. How do I change it so it shows only 200 to 300 so we can see more of the trends?

  • Is it possible to buy something that makes money on a stock that goes down?

    Let's say I think McDonald's is going to go down over the next few months, or even drop 20% in a day, is there an "option" or something I can buy that will increase in value as their stock goes down? Note: I'm not suggesting McD's will go down, just a hypothetical example.

  • MS Word: Can I save a document that can't be saved by someone else to different location?

    PLEASE NOTE THAT I'M NOT ASKING HOW TO KEEP PEOPLE FROM SAVING OVER MY ORIGINAL, I KNOW THAT IS READ-ONLY.

    But can I allow co-workers to pull up a Word (or other format) file to view it, but not allow them to save a copy somewhere else? That is the whole question, but a little more background below if needed.

    I have a cheat sheet for our drafters & purchasers on which parts to use for a fairly confusing product. However the product changes often, so I don't want them to be able to save a copy, then not know that I've updated it. I want them to only see the latest copy.

  • I can't import email from yahoo to gmail a second time?

    In gmail in the importing section it shows the yahoo email address & says Import Complete. However it won't let me import again (the first time was just a test but I wasn't ready to switch accounts yet). In the Help/Troubleshooting section, it specifically addresses this & says to simply click the Dismiss link next to the yahoo email address listing. BUT THERE ISN'T A DISMISS LINK. My only option is Hide. Things like this aggrevate me. Is it so hard for programmers to simply test their solutions before posting them???? I can't do a poor job like this at my work!

    Any other ideas on how to do this?!?!??!

  • Excel Validation: Sometimes can't reference other sheets?

    I have several files that have multiple sheets & pull down menus. As these have grown, I've found it easiest to create an extra sheet & put all pull down menu lists on this sheet. However sometimes one of the sheets in a file will stop allowing use of these lists. It will say something like "Data validation can not use data from other worksheets", but I know that's not true because all the other sheets in the file are using data from the other worksheet. One thing I've noticed, in the toolbars there is a box that displays the name of whatever cell I'm in, such as G3. It has a drop down that shows the names of my different lists, such as Vendors, Status, etc, but on the sheet that has stopped working, this drop down list doesn't show any of these names.

    I found I can fix this by copying one of the sheets that does work, copy all the data from the sheet that doesn't work onto it, then delete the sheet that doesn't work. I don't think this is a good way to keep correcting this problem. Anyone have any ideas why this happens & how to stop it? Thanks!!!

  • Droid X & hotmail not working together?

    I have it set up so my hotmail account does show up on the Droid, so I don't need directions on how to do that unless I need to change something to fit my actual problems.

    1) If I have 10 emails show up on my computer, only 7 or 8 of them show up on the phone.

    2) If I read an email on the computer, it shows as unread on the phone.

    3) If I read an email on the phone, it shows as unread on the computer.

    Can someone give me STEP BY STEP instructions on how to fix these problems, again keeping in mind the hotmail account is already on the Droid? THANKS!!!!!!!!
