Windows98se wont restart

If you have the computer sharing drives on a network, that tends to cause shutdown problems, in my experience. Otherwise, try the update, and if you still have problems, defrag your drives and uninstall all of the programs that you don't need. It could be a program that's hanging when you try to...

I just realized that my fridge has been off since i cleaned it 4 days ago!!

A good way to tell if food is bad is by smelling it. If the climate is warm right now where you live, or if you have had the heat on, I imagine the OJ smells slightly fermented. The Sprite will be just fine. How did you manage to leave your fridge turned off for 4 days? Didn't you notice the...

personal webpage creators...

Don't make a site that requires a particular browser or program to view. Flash is ok for parts of the site but don't make it a requirement to see anything. Some people don't use those programs and don't run windows and IE.

HIGHLANDER 2...is it any good?

I didn't like it as much as the first one. It wasn't the same at all. I guess if you have 10 bucks to blow it'd be ok to have, but I can think of lots of better movies.

Time to pick a girl... which one?

Oh yeah, dental X-rays expose you to a minimal amount of radiation, especially if you have a lead vest on, so that isn't really a valid excuse. He's possibly covering up for charging you for twice the teeth he pulled.

What he did and the way he talked to you and your mom was not appropriate. He should not have forced you to submit to his pointer in your mouth so it made your gum bleed and hurt. My guess is that he is a jerk to everyone and you can't really prove otherwise unless you can find a white person...

Ever had a lucid dream? Don't believe they exist? Post here :)

I have lots of dreams where I am in complete control. I used to have them when I was a kid, mostly about flying around at will, but now I have them almost whenever I dream. I think it's something to do with mental discipline and control over the subconscious.

How many different ways can you rearrange the letters of SOCKS, order matters.

The answer is 5!/2 = 60 You take the number of ways in which a number of distinct items (letters) can be sorted, and divide by the degeneracy (the doubled S). If you had 3 of the same letter you would divide by 3!=6 If you had 3 of one letter and 2 of another you would divide by 3!2!=12, making...

If you could only have one TV channel...

You have a VCR right? Why not hook up its audio output to a stereo? Either that or put the radio antenna upstairs or outside so it can pick up the signal. I don't know which channel I'd pick, possibly UPN, but I recently had only one channel, which wasn't UPN, and that's why I got DirecTV.

One raisin size of Anti-Matter enough energy for 23 shuttle launches

Don't forget Einstein's equation E=mc^2 You can use it to calculate the exact amount of energy available in antimatter. Given the mass, multiply it by light speed squared, and there's your energy. Actually multiply it by 2 because you have an equal mass of matter involved in the reaction. A...

One raisin size of Anti-Matter enough energy for 23 shuttle launches

They probably mean positrons which are anti-electrons, or perhaps antiprotons. They wouldn't be able to store them in any container, only a strong magnetic field, or a field of photons (which, incidentally, are their own antiparticle). I don't see how they could use that energy to launch a...

Some of those just don't make any sense to have on the list. I don't get it. What do they think will happen if people hear those songs anyway? It's not like it'll make people remember what happened, because how could they have forgotten when the whole thing is shown on TV every 5 minutes?
