Ulo B. Ject
Here to help anyone I can. Please visit my site: http://morningriser.tumblr.com/ I'm not looking for points; I'm here to see if I give good advice and if people think my advice is good. Random unimportant matter: “Ulo” means “head” in Tagalog. It’s just what I choose to call myself, so that I don’t have to reveal my real name. It doesn’t mean anything. I am an ailurophobic, like Adolf Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte. Okay, maybe not, but I’m not very fond of cats either. I’m scared of them, but I don’t mind looking at pictures of them. By cats I mean domestic cats or pet cats. I don’t mean the big felines, like tigers and lions. Pronouncing hello as “aloe” makes me feel British. I learned subjunctives on the internet. My best time at Escapa as of March 07, 2011 at 10:49 PM (22:49) is 21.182 seconds.
The proper name for these small, rectangular sunglasses?
I know about teashades (John Lennon-style, big and round lenses), but what do you call its rectangular counterpart?
Here are a few pictures of the kind I'm talking about:

http://www.amazon.com/Gothic-Vampire-Party-Glasses...
http://www.amazon.com/Gothic-Vampire-Square-Hippie...
http://www.amazon.com/60s-Retro-Rectangle-Hippie-S...
The first time I saw a pair like these, the lenses were green. The names on the internet are pretty inconsistent, from vampire glasses and gothic steampunk to retro hippie and Ben Franklin-style lenses. What are they really called?
These are the kinds I prefer because I have a small head and a small face :D Kind of like teashades, but rectangular instead of ciruclar

2 AnswersOther - Internet8 years agoInitial charging of new laptop?
I'm getting a new laptop soon, and I'm not sure how to go about the initial charging. Yesterday, I bought a few phones at the mall, and all the salespersons I encountered advised me to use the phones as they come, let them get to about 5% left of energy, then recharge. They told me NOT to completely drain (0%) the battery. They told me NOT to over-charge (keeping the charger connected while the battery is 100%) the battery. Should I do the same with the new laptop?

1 AnswerMovies9 years agoWhat are the roots of 4x^2 - 3x + 9 = 0?
What are the roots of 4x^2 - 3x + 9 = 0?
When I'm solving this I always get stuck at the square root of -135 (which doesn't exist), because I used the quadratic formula [(-b +/- square root of b^2 - 4ac)/2a]. I don't know how else to get the answer. Factoring doesn't seem to work.

Router model: D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615
Specs of the laptop in question: Vista SP2 32-bit
All the other laptops at home can connect to the router wirelessly except my friend's laptop. Her laptop can detect the wireless connection and can see it, but when she clicks [Connect] and enters the right password, a window pops up to tell her that she can't connect. Why?
I don't want to risk losing wi-fi altogether by resetting the router.

1 AnswerOther - Education9 years agoI have some questions about ratios?
If you are given 400 students, and the ratio of boys to girls is 5:3, how many boys and girls are there? My friend got 250 and 150. How did he get 250 and 150? It makes sense, yeah, but how do you get the "true" values of 5:3 if they equal to 400? Is it just common sense or is there a formula?
