  • How to learn about small wiring and wireless remote building?

    I was hoping to learn about how to wire and build a wireless remote. Very simple, just wiring a light to flash and sound to play when pressing a button. I've been trying to find books at my library, but I have no idea what to even search for. I keep getting books on wiring complete houses.

  • How many people can a person drive in a car once they're 17?

    I got my lisence when I was 16, but had it restricted so that I had to drive with a parent for six months a month after I got it. Now I've been driving for a while, and I'm about to turn seventeen, and I'm wondering if I can drive with more than one person in the car then. I live in Ohio, by the way.

  • Why won't my Ubuntu desktop run a file from the setup disc for a TV Tuner?

    I'm trying to put a WinTV v7 usb tv tuner on my desktop. I have everything plugged in and the disc is in the drive, but the autorun won't start and when I try opening setup.exe file on the disc this error comes up:

    Archive: /media/CD-WINTV7-V2.4D/Setup.exe

    [/media/CD-WINTV7-V2.4D/Setup.exe]

    End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not

    a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the

    latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on

    the last disk(s) of this archive.

    zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of /media/CD-WINTV7-V2.4D/Setup.exe or

    /media/CD-WINTV7-V2.4D/Setup.exe.zip, and cannot find /media/CD-WINTV7-V2.4D/Setup.exe.ZIP, period.

    I'm also getting some notice when I start the computer that goes along the lines of "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/cryptswap1 is not yet ready or not present". Is there someway to fix this or is the program simply not compatible with Ubuntu?

  • Why will my Windows XP PC connect to the network but not the internet?

    Hey, I have an old Dell Windows XP PC I got from work. I plugged it in and got it started at home and it worked fine. Since then, I have made two adjustments, and I'm not sure if one of these, or both, are responsible for it not connecting to the internet anymore. First, I updated the Microsoft .NET Framework to 3.5. Second, I installed Ubuntu to dual boot with XP. Now, if I go to the internet through Ubuntu it works just fine, but if I try opening it in XP it says that the server cannot be found. I have it plugged in to my Linksys router, and it detects the network and router, but won't navigate to any web page. I even installed Mozilla Firefox via a flash drive to make sure it wasn't simply Internet Explorer acting up. Any advice on how I can fix this is greatly appreciated, and I can provide any extra information that would help. Thanks!

  • What's a good way for a teenager to make some extra money?

    Hey, I'm 16 and do have a job, but they've been really cutting back my hours. My other back up summer job might be falling out, so I was wondering if there's something I could do on the side to make a little extra money, other than getting a whole new job. I drive, learn pretty quickly, and I work hard. I'm not against physical labor, or more intelligent work. Any ideas?

  • Is this a good bow to buy?

    Hey, I've been looking into archery, but I'm not sure what kind of bow to get. I don't exactly have the funds to drop a couple hundred dollars into one. Here's the bow I found: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Archery-Firebird-Bow-60...

    I do realize that looking at the lower price range could get me a junk bow, which could be dangerous, and that I don't exactly know what kind of specs a bow for me should have. I'm a 16 year old guy, 5'10" and pretty strong, if that changes anything. I do have a preference for longbows rather than compound bows, if anyone has a different suggestion. Thanks for any advice!

  • Why do I have red hairs in my beard?

    Hey, I'm a little confused. I am 16 but getting decent facial hair, and I've had a goatee thing before, but it was always dark. I ended up shaving it for this girl, but now I'm so busy that sometimes there's a bit of time between shavings. Anyway, all of my hair is dark, everywhere else, but it's just the hair on my chin, it's starting to get more and more red hair. I do have Irish in me, but no one else in the family has red hair. Why is this?

  • How much would it cost to get some modifications done to my car?

    Hey, this is purely out of curiosity, and I realize the ridiculousness of doing it to my particular car, but that's the whole point. I have a 1999 Honda Civic EX and was wondering how much it would cost to do some things to it. They include: put in a new engine, put in hydraulics, put in a new stereo system (as in the speakers), and maybe new fenders. If it works, could you list the price for each rather than doing them all at once? Thanks!

  • How to calculate the net force?

    Alright, so I'm drawing a blank on how to figure this out. The problem consists of a 65 kg person jumping from a 10 meter diving board and stopping 2 meters below the water. The question asks what is the net force applied to the person by the water. If it helps, I've figured her velocity when hitting the water is 14 m/s. Help??

  • Why won't my car start?

    Hey, I have a 1999 Honda Civic, and it isn't starting. I don't exactly have the manual for it, so that's a problem. But when I tr starting it I believe the oil and battery lights come on. I'm not sure if the battery light always comes on when it's started but I know the oil light shouldn't be on. Is it just the oil or is something else going on? What should I do?

  • Why are my hands shaking?

    Hey, for some reason my hands are shaking, my left much more so than my right. I did just finish playing guitar, so that might have something to do with it. If I relax my left hand it slows down shaking considerably, but as I pull my hand back it starts to shake more and more, even as I type this it's acting up. Why is this?

  • What are good songs for boxing?

    I thought boxing would be the best way to say it, but I just got a punching bag and need some good music to listen to while I vent some stuff. Some good ones I already have are Pain by...Three Days Grace? I think, and All These Lives by Daughtry.

  • Why does my chest feel tight after running?

    I used to be a fairly decent runner, but I got a little too busy to keep it up. I just ran again tonight, and afterwards my chest felt a little tight and heavy. I remembered it used to feel that way when i had started running before, and it might have continued throughout it but I just forgot about it. I'm just wondering if it's because my cardio isn't good enough or if it's something else.

  • What are some ways I can work on my car?

    Hey, I recently got my license suspended, so I'd love to have something to do on my car. My knowledge so far consists of changing the front disc brakes and removing the fender to fix a dent, but I can learn quick, though I don't have a ton of money to drop into it. What are some things I can do to just spend a day working on it?

  • What's a good song to dance to with a date?

    Alright, so I was walking with this girl downtown the other night, it was late, there was no one else down there, and we walked by this fountain they have. It has some trees surrounding it with christmas lights already on, and it gave me the idea to dance with her there. There were a few problems though, the bar by it was pretty full so there were some drunks across the street and it was pretty cold and she was already shivering when we were walking arm in arm. But I want to be ready for the next time, so what's a good song to play and what's a good way to dance?

  • How do I get a dent out of my car QUICKLY?

    So I'm at my grandma's with my cousin while she's out of town. She knows and our folks know, it's nothing bad and secret. But my cousin pulled my car into her garage, and when I had to go get something tonight, I pulled out but cut it too short, and put a dent in the front quarter panel right in front of the passenger door. It's really obvious, the door won't open all the way, and my car makes a noise when I turn now. How could I get the dent out without involving my parents?

    P.S., this was already asked, but I tried adding details but accidentally put it to vote. There was someone named John who answered very well, and I was hoping he could email me at samalex1014@aol.com. I would really appreciate it!
