    going snowboarding

    I know where I ski season passes have your photo on it... not that they really check or can get a good look at your face under all your gear at the lifts, but still something to consider. If he bought it but hasn't picked it up yet, I'm sure they'll ask for a photo ID if you were to try to pick...

    Call blocking with my cell phone

    My phone (Samsung) has a reject list. Any call from a number on the list won't make my phone ring, it'll just show up as a missed call.

    anyone regret not become a dentist/pharmacist/etc?

    Except it goes way beyond reciting side effects. Anyone can eventually memorize all the side effects and recite them. Pharmacists need to make evidence-based decisions and judgments, which means they need to stay on top of the latest developments and trials and understand the implications for...

    Acer products

    I bought a TravelMate laptop from them, and after a while the screen would go black if it wasn't open at just the right angle or if you put pressure on certain parts of the laptop base (although this could make the screen normal again, too). Seemed like a loose connection or something. Sent it...

    College major

    The pharmD program is a 6 year program, not 8. Two years of prepharm and 4 years of the professional program. How the program works depends on where you go; some schools accept you into the pharmD program as a freshman - you don't need to apply again. Others will take you as prepharm for your...

    Unsteady hands?

    The tremor in Parkinson's is a resting tremor; it goes away when you actively use your hands (or whatever has the tremor).

    Stephen Kings The Gunslinger

    That's the case with pretty much all movies based on books, but The Green Mile, The Shining, and The Shawshank Redemption were all good (Redemption being awesome) movies, although I never read the last two.

    Creative Zen Vision M

    I know the player is a couple years old, but I just bought it refurb. I'm trying to copy all my music on to it and I'm running into a problem. All my music is .mp3, but apparently some are not compatible with the zen. It won't even let me copy them over -- an error message pops up, saying it's...

    Zune

    sorry, I should add that I checked with mp3tag (which I originally used to embed the art) and the embedded album art was no longer there, so it definitely did remove it. I just checked an album's folder with mp3tag, album art was all embedded fine, added that album folder to the Zune player, and...

    Zune

    There's pretty much one thing holding me back from buying a Zune, and that's the software. I downloaded the software to try it out, and it's messing with my metadata. Specifically, it's stripping some (not all) of my mp3s of their embedded album art. I have "automatically update album art and...

    can't download or save anything with firefox

    I try to download something, and the download box never shows up. I just tried right clicking an image, clicked save as, and nothing happened. Same for downloading anything. I can't even save a web page. I'm using the latest version of firefox (I assume the autoupdate updates to the latest...

    How to make headphones looser

    Make sure not to stretch them too much though... I have a pair and part of the band cracked, doesn't affect anything at all but it could crack more. I think this is a common problem, not sure if it's been addressed by Sennheiser in their more recent 280s.
