  • how to turn off charm bar in windows 8.1?

    How do you turn off the charm bar on the right side of the screen in windows 8.1? I followed a faq online and under properties I was able to turn it off when using the desktop: BUT: it still appears whenever im working inside a browser. It still appears when I use IE, OPERA, GOOGLE CHROME. Whenever my curser hovers on the right side of the screen in any browser, the charm bar appears and it "kidnaps" my curser and I have to struggle with it to regain control. It's so annoying. The online guides ive used only make it go away when using the DESKTOP and not from inside a browser. How do I get rid of it completely?

  • Why is my terrarium still alive?

    Do plants suffocate or not? I made a terrarium inside a wine bottle with a small sansaveria planted inside it (snake plant). The top is sealed completely shut with a cork and the plant has no access to fresh air at all. It is 25 years old and still alive and thriving inside. Can plants suffocate or not?

  • why give antibiotics for viral meningitis?

    H.N news said there is a viral meningitis outbreak at a California college and they were giving the students antibiotics to prevent infection. Does antibiotics protect against viral meningitis? I thought antibiotics only help protect against bacteria? the news specifically said it was VIRAL meningitis and that ANTIBIOTICS were being given as a result. Is this normal? is this effective?

  • How do I cancel a hotmail account?

    How do I cancel/delete a hotmail account? I followed all online steps and it takes me to this:

    "To close your Outlook account, you must first cancel your billing service. Go to Microsoft Account and Billing Services at https://billing.microsoft.com."/

    I click on the https link and it takes me to a page that says i have a $0.00 balance.

    I dont remember ever having a billing service with microsoft. EVER. besides, on that page there is nothing to cancel since its $0.00 with no services listed. This is my DEAD END. I cant delete my hotmail without canceling MS billing services. Yet, i dont have any billing services set up.

    I tried to cancel my account by letting it remain inactive for over a YEAR and its still active. The 270 or whatever inactive days to cancel seems to be FALSE.

    How do I proceed?

  • What is the public restroom law in USA?

    I had to use the bathroom and went into a sub sandwich shop (you know the name) and the worker there screamed at me that the toilet was for customers ONLY so i had to leave. And there was no where that I could use a toilet without buying somthing! and it left me wondering.. since there are no public toilets anymore, and stores and restuarants seem to forbid public use without purchase, what is the law in the USA about this? what is a person expecited to do? Public urination is totaly ilegal, so are people expected to just go in there pants? what is the law? what are we expected to do? Does the law really say we must either go in our pants or pay at a store?

  • What do we call the decade of 2000 to 2010?

    I know what the 50s were. and the 60s. and the 70s. and 80s. and 90s. but when referring to the decade of 2000 to 2010, what do people call that? Im north american and english is my only language but I was having a conversation with someone and we can not figure out what people call the last decade. I guess it would be the double-0's or the 00's. I think sometimes people call it the millennium but I think of that as more of the turn of the century and not the whole decade. The "2000s" to me would include of of 2000 until the year 2100, right? so.. What do people call the decade 2000-2010?

  • What does "preshrunk" cotton (shirts) mean?

    Im American. English is my only language but:

    I ordered all these t-shirts from different companies. All the t-shirts say preshrunk 100% cotton. I ordered medium and they are HUGE. Remember, these are from different companies..

    HUGE size medium. A really fat person could fit them easily. So anyway I was sad that size medium were to me an X-Large. I put them threw the washer and then dryer. I washed on cold and dried on Medium. The result was they had shrunk by 50% and fit me perfectly. Why do they say Preshrunk if it shrunk 50% in the dryer? they must know it will since they start out the size of circus tents.
