    Windows 7 dual boot question; also wi-fi issue

    So I installed Windows 7 alongside Vista. However, currently the default OS during boot-up is Windows 7. Is there any way that I can change it so that it's Vista? I prefer to start up my computer, walk away, and then see my Vista log-in screen when I get back instead of always having to enter...

    Co-signing an apartment

    Geekbabe/Quintox- that's what i'm planning on doing, thus my 2nd set of questions. i know it's sound advice, but our families have some connections so i'm not worried about getting screwed over. Greenman- Thanks. If there's no public record, I should be OK to sign for my own lease. That's odd...

    Why does Netflix all of a sudden suck?

    well i'm not saying i don't agree w/ everyone. i LOVED netflix up until 2-3 weeks ago. now even if i have a not-as-popular movie thats available "now" lower in my queue, they wait until the next day to even ship that. i guess i'll give them another month and see if things improve. i'm a snob...

    Why does Netflix all of a sudden suck?

    I've used Netflix on and off for over a year. I rent DVD's and Blu-ray movies. Generally most movies are available "Now" or "Short Wait", with a few big titles being "Long Wait". Since a few weeks ago, almost every remotely decent title is "Short Wait" or "Long Wait". Also, many times they don't...

    Quick PayPal question

    yea, that's true. it's just weird because he has no feedback and the amount of the tickets he bought was over $300, so i wasn't sure how he'd have gotten that. i thought there were sending/receiving limits if you weren't verified as well.

    Quick PayPal question

    yea, i know that's what it means. a sender is VERIFIED if they link their bank account or credit card. which is why i'm wondering how they have funds in the first place, and whether there is any risk in me getting ripped off. thanks

However, I am eligible for the Seller Protection Policy and the shipping address is Confirmed. The sender's e-mail is also an AOL account and...

    Anyone have a Toyota 4Runner how to get spare off?

    open the trunk. at the base of the trunk right above the rear bumper, you'll see a hole. in one of the storage areas, or maybe under the rear seat, there should be a tool that you can insert and lower the spare tire with. keep turning it, most likely counter-clockwise, and you'll see the chain...
