I've been in computers for a couple of years now that's probably why I'm getting some good best answers. Yeah I will admit there are smarter people then me, but when I answer a question I try to do it to my best of knowledge and sometimes I come up with the best answer and sometimes not.

  • Can you run hot water through a metal garden hose????

    I just recently bought me a metal garden hose which states all this Kink Proof, Puncture Proof, Light Weight, Ultra Flexible, Made Of 304 Stainless Steel, Dog Chew Proof, Tear Proof, Thorn Proof, and Coils Perfectly Every Time. Yea I know all of this, but no wear does it state that you can run hot water through it and no body on the internet has said anything about it either being able to run hot water through it. I work for Little Caesars and they have me do some chores that hot water if able to use works best on these jobs like washing out trash cans or cleaning some sidewalks. I want to know if I can run hot water through it and how long it may last if I kept having to use hot water through it. There are times as well cold water would be used as well...

  • Wanting to go from a FX-4300 CPU with stock cooler to a FX-8350 CPU with wraith cooler on a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P mobo, but have concerns.?

    Hi,

    I am wanting to go from a FX-4300 CPU with stock cooler to a FX-8350 CPU with wraith cooler on a Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P 1.0 mobo, but have concerns. The concerns are that the wraith cooler maybe so big that it will hit the heatsink to the left of the CPU socket and the one below it and maybe hit a memory stick to the right of it. I also discovered the 2.0 version of the motherboard I have only supports up to 450G for the weight of CPU coolers and the wraith cooler is supposedly 455G. Do you think I'm safe to use the wraith cooler on this motherboard or no????? I was going to add pictures to this to show what I'm talking about, but it wouldn't let me because Yahoo is/was experiencing problems at the time of this post.

  • Need 19" Widescreen LCD/LED Monitor That Still Supports Windows XP ASAP!!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!?

    I had a Dell SE198WFP 19" Widescreen Monitor and it just recently died. I was just sitting there on the internet when it started showing flashing lines on it. It then quit then a few minutes later it did it again and the picture started to fade to white. Well after it faded to white it's staying white and I can't get no picture on it anymore. I can't get the monitor controls to come up either. It's dead. I'm trying to find a replacement 19" Widescreen LCD/LED Monitor that supports up to 1440X900 resolution and still supports Windows XP. I know what your thinking why don't you just upgrade to Windows 7 or 8!? I don't have the money or time to upgrade is why. I really don't have the money to be putting out on a new monitor, but I have no choice in this matter. Right now I'm using my deceased dads HP Compaq LE1911 monitor, but I don't like it cause it doesn't support 1440X900 and is square not widescreen. If you can find me one please please let me know where cause right now I'm kinda at a loss. I prefer it to be between $100 to $150 at most and new if possible not used or refurbished cause of the chance of me ending up again where I am now in a couple days, months, or just a few years. I want it to last as long as possible till I can afford to upgrade down the line. Right now I'm surviving with Windows XP and have put alot into this system I hate to have to start over just cause of a stupid monitor going out on me. Please help.

  • Court Dates Given, But No Subponeas Will I Go To Jail Or Fined For Not Showing Up?

    I'm kinda in a tough situation. Back in May their was a adult and juvenile who was going around shooting people with air soft BB guns. Well I was one of the victims. One court date was scheduled for July 18th and the other July 29th, however they were both moved to new dates. Ones for the adult the other for the juvenile. Well I was told one date maybe Sept 26th and then the other they would fine out later and that was two months ago. Well here it is Sept and so I decided to call them about all this last week and was told one was Sept 26th still and the other Oct 21st and that they would call me to come pick up the subpoenas for those dates possibly this week, however, I haven't heard a word since I talk to the lady and found out the dates. My question is since I know the dates, but haven't gotten any subpoenas if I don't show up Sept 26th or Oct 21st will I be fined or jailed since I knew I was supposed to be there regardless if I had subpoenas or not?!?!?! Basically I know I'm supposed to be there Sept 26th and Oct 21st, but don't have subpoenas showing it. Will I be fined or jailed or do I have to have subpoenas and not show up to be fined or go to jail? Also once subpoenaed if I show up like I'm supposed to and it goes further like they don't plead guilty or something will I be subpoenaed again later for newer dates or how will I know if I'm going to have to come back later for future hearings/trials?!?!?! I'm thinking about going by the attorneys office next week to find out about the subpoenas etc or call and harass them about them, but just in case things don't work out I would like some answers here. I'm kinda handicap with ADHD, OCD, Learning Disability, Anxiety, Severe Depression, and occasional Insomnia so this is all stressful to me and I'm am scared and terrified. It was my mother who called about it after I called her which now I'm wishing she didn't cause it's stressing me out big time and worrying me about being fined or jailed because of it being accidentally something I did or missed. Any advice you offer and answers are very helpful and may help me calm down and relax about this.

Anyway, these are the wheel bearings I bought that matched 12471606 part number. All I needing is the wheel seals to match up with this for both rear. Help anyway you can.

  • Quake 1 Increase Ammo Capacity Need Help?

    I have Quake along with Engine-X and am trying to see if there is a way to increase the ammo capacity for the weapons cause it's just not enough. 100 Shells, 200 Nails, 100 Rockets, 200 Cells. These are what I want to increase. I've downloaded PAKScape and have been scoping the .PAK files for things and only found one thing called weapons.qc in a file called engine-x.pak. Anywhere else and I don't find nothing related to the weapons at all. I've tried also opening defs.qc, player.qc, misc.qc, triggers.qc, and find nothing. I did find something in weapons.qc where it said something about CHEAT and then it had stuff about the ammo with the numbers I gave above for each weapon. Well I increased them all to 999 and saved the file them imported it back into the .pak file and saved it as well and went into the game and still everything was the old values. So I need someone to tell me where to look or what file to edit in the .paks or somewhere else to do this. Please help. I know people have done weapons mods for Quake 1 so surely you know how to change the weapon capacities and what to look for.

  • Need Starcraft V1.16.1 Trainer - Unlimited Minerals, Gas, & Units?

    I use to have Starcraft V1.10, but recently upgraded to V1.16.1 so I wouldn't have to use a CD no more just to play the game. Well the trainer I had for V1.10 worked beautifully up until I upgraded to V1.16.1 and it no longer works now. I'm needing a trainer for V1.16.1 with the following options Unlimited Minerals, Gas, & Units. The one I had for V1.10 only had Unlimited Minerals & Gas and a few other options that I didn't need. I'm needing the trainer to work with Windows XP SP3 and work with Terran, Zerg, Protoss on every level. There is a trainer out there for V1.16.1 that has all the options I want, but I found it was glitchy and only work on a few levels and then quit working plus it would put itself in your processes 3 times while running and also add some stuff under your temporary files which I didn't like very well. The trainer was pretty much useless cause it only worked on a few levels not all and on the last stage where you play as Terran and Protoss it would only work with Terran and not the Protoss. So that would need to be fixed as well. But yea there are 10 levels per Terran, Zerg, & Protoss and I'm needing this trainer to work on all of them and if avoidable it putting extra crap in the temporary folder. I would make a trainer myself, but I don't have the know how and probably stuff to make it. I wouldn't mind a trainer similar to the one I had for V1.10 except with the Unlimited Units added on. If anyone out there can do this for me it's so ever grateful and your trainer would end you up a spot on www.gamewinners.com. Down below are the two trainers so you can compare the two and maybe learn some stuff from them to create and new one. Again is forever grateful if you can do one for me. Typing SHOW ME THE MONEY over and over gets old and also FOOD FOR THOUGHT only allows up to 200 units I think which for me isn't enough.

    Click download from public server 1 for V1.16.1 crappy trainer. You may have a wait time and also have to make sure your pop up blocker is off to get this one. Or if using Firefox just click allow on the pop up blocker every few minutes till you hear download ready or see it ready to download.

    Click click here in step 1 to download the V1.10 trainer I used to have.

    You may have to give a website to your trainer or I can give you my e-mail address later once you let know you have one for me or something. Just let know what you want to do.

My MTD Yardmachines has a high range forward and low range forward?!?!?!? What's the difference in them except for a little speed I noticed, but which one should I really mow in High or Low?!?!?!? I heard HIGH for normal cutting and LOW for cutting around trees and stuff?! This mower doesn't look like it would that good around trees, but what do I know I only use it once before storing it for winter. As far as oil goes I was told to use SAE 10W 30, but in the book it says in higher temperatures above 40F that it will consume oil like crazy if you use that. It says I can use synthetic, but I heard once you do you must stay synthetic and don't really want to do that in the mower. My cars fine, but not my mower. What kinda oil do you recommend?!?!?!? O as far as filter I got the manufactures brand for it. The engine is Briggs & Stratton.

  • Do some car dealerships have special funds to help low income people afford a car?

    My sister and mother received a thing in the mail from Ford Grindstaff saying they won a prize. $15,000 debit card, IPad + IPhone, 250 Gift Card (Must Be Used On Special Website), or $150 in cash. Well my sister went to claim her prize which was the $250 Gift Card. While there she traded her PT Cruiser in for a Kia Berrango. The Kia Berrango she got was $12,000 and they gave her $7,000 toward her PT Cruiser. So now starting in March she has to pay $100 toward the Kia Berrango till paid off. She is $2,300 something in debt which Ford Grindstaff said they will send her a check for $2,300 to pay off her debt to be able to afford to pay the car off better. They said they have a special fund or bank they go through to do this and help low income families get cars easier. They said she should receive the check within 7 to 10 business days. Is this a lie or can it be true?!?!?!? If she doesn't get the money promised her she can't keep the car and they already got her PT Cruiser up for sale. So she's in trouble if she doesn't get the money. What are your thoughts about this and do you think their lying or telling the truth?! She got handwritten proof that they will send a check of $2,300, but she's thinking about demanding more like name of the fund or bank etc and a printed copy saying she'll get it. Let us know your thoughts as soon as possible.

  • How long can you drive in 4 high in snow without breaking the drive shaft/train?

    I haven't had that much experience with 4X4 before. My dad had a 98 Blazer and I would drive it to and from work and the 4X4 didn't work that well and sometimes at all on it, but when it did it was great for getting out of the driveway in snow, but after that it didn't work right. Anyway, he traded it on a 00 Sonoma 2WD after a hail storm we had in 2011. Well he passed away this year to a severe aneurysm and I was stuck with the 00 Sonoma 2WD. Well my mother and I look around for a 4X4 for snow and stuff and managed to snag a 99 Blazer (which since owning needed lots of repairs about $1,300 so far), but it's now stable except for a small gas leak and catalytic converter problems. Any who I decided to test the 4X4 so I put it in 4 High on dry pavement and it went into it, but couldn't get out so I started to make a turn and hard a little grinding I immediately stopped and try to remember how I got my dads 98 Blazer to sometimes work. I put it in Neutral hit 2 High and put it in reverse and then drive and it was out finally of 4 High. After that I had a friend give me some advice who works on cars and he said always put it in Neutral to switch between 4 High, Low, and 2 High and then to get in 2 High make sure to go in reverse a few feet to take the pressure off the front wheels and unlock them from 4X4. Anyway, it's worked so far. I hope I didn't damage the thing the first time I tried the 4X4, but it seems to work in grass and stuff when slippery so guessing I'm okay. Anyway, when winter comes whens the best to use 4X4 or 4 High and how long can I use it without damaging my drive shaft/train? My job is roughly 8 miles both to and from my home.

  • Overfilled Transmission Fluid On 1999 Chevy Blazer What Could Happen?

    Okay not to long ago we got a 1999 Chevy Blazer which it has had mysterious problems with starting and stuff so I've decided to replace the fuel pump, spark plug and wires, and a few other things. In the process I have done the following to try and fix the problem air filter, oil & filter (7 quarts I know overfilled, but got leaking hoses helping with that), battery, thermostat, 4 things of fuel treatment, fuel filter, bulbs, and fuel pressure sensor. Well my friend told me I need to burn as much gas as I can so he could drop the tank for the fuel pump replacement so I went cross country and got it near empty well in the process the Service Engine light comes on so I go get it checked and found out I had transmission slippage a code of P1870. Well I already put 4 quarts transmission fluid in when I got it so I figured I would put 4 more in to see if it fixed the problem well it overfilled it and cause 1 quart to 1 quart and a half to come pouring out of a pan under my car then after that it quit. Well I decided to drive it like that to check to see if things were okay and it started smoking where the excess fluid was still running out some on to hot parts like the muffler and stuff. It's getting better, but with it overfilled am I okay? Shifting has become better and no more Service Engine light!? My friend says normally a transmission can hold 12 quarts. So am okay???? He works on cars for a living and has done alot of repairs for us on stuff.

  • Overfilled Oil On 1999 Chevy Blazer What Could Happen?

    Okay we just recently traded a 2000 GMC Sonoma Truck for a 1999 Chevy Blazer. Well I changed the oil and put in 6 quarts cause I did the same thing on the Sonoma Truck and got by with it for a long time and didn't have any issues. Anyway, I have a small oil leak on the oil filter hoses on the Blazer and I thought it was low just recently and misread the stick so I now have 7 quarts oil in the Blazer. What could happen with that much oil in there or do you think I may get by with it as long as I don't add any more oil and the oil keeps leaking from the hoses some every now and then. It's 1/2 to 1 inch oil on the ground sometimes. Do you think I may be okay? A friend said I would blow the engine if I don't remove some, but I don't feel like taking the drain plug to relieve some so I tried to put a siphon pump down in the oil fill up hole and siphon some out no success cause the pump didn't go deep enough and it broke from the pump. Cheap old thing. Anyway, I really want to know if I'll be okay with 7 quarts I'm not going to add any more unless it really needs it. I checked it cold and it was above the words OPERATING RANGE just a little where as with 6 quarts it was on the R in RANGE, but now it seems to be above OPERATING some. Plan to check again tomorrow cold and see what happens. It seems to run with the 7 quarts, but I'm worried a little.
