I have has a Dell Inspiron 1545 for about 6 years. I have recently had to replace the computer for a Dell Inspiron 15 1500 Series. Am I able to take the hard drive out of the old Dell and successfully transfer it into my new laptop? I know I can buy an enclosure to make it an external, but with all the programs that are on my old computer, it would be much easier transferring the hard drives than downloading everything again.

Long story short, I am trying to get my weight down to 275 lbs by the end of August, 2012. I am somewhere in the 350-375 range; so, that means that I am looking to loose about 100 lbs. Can anybody give me information on how to achieve my goal. I already have a reward if I can achieve my goal, a long weekend in Vegas. I would appreciate anybody that is willing to give my good advice.

I am going to try to explain this ring as best as possible. I have a ring that I am trying to get more information on. The ring looks like it is made out of silver, maybe it is just plated. The front of the ring contains 3 vertical columns of turquoise. The only mark on the ring is on the inside of the band. It looks like two bear paws pointing down. Each paw has two toes pointing down, along with a raised part. I am almost certain that it is a Native American piece. Can anybody give me information about this ring????

I am somewhat of a playing card enthusiast. Every time someone I know goes places (especially Las Vegas) they always bring me home a deck of playing cards. I am pretty sure I have a deck from every casino in Vegas. Well, my parents are going out of town to Paris soon and I was curious if anybody knew if the casinos in Paris sell their old/used playing cards the way casinos in Vegas do.

Just recently, my Wii has been acting up. I cannot play more than 10 or 15 minutes without a warning saying that an error has occurred. My Wii is approximately 3 years old. Is it time for me to get a new one?

I have been searching on youtube and I have noticed many videos that instead of the usual pitch meter, there is just words. I have RB, RB2, The Beatles, and Lego Rock Bands for the Wii. This might just be something that is for a different system than mine, i have no clue. Can anybody give me any information on changing my vocal mode?

I am trying to convert the Cartesian equation x^2 - 2y^2 + 2x + 4y = 4. I got it down to ((x+1)^2)/3 - (2(y-1)^2)/3 = 1. I know that the next step is sin(x)^2 + cos(x)^2 = 1. However, the coefficients are throwing me off. Can anybody help with the the next step?????

I have just gotten into speed-cubing. I only own a crappy store bought Rubik's Cube. I understand that DIY cubes are better than the piece of crap I own. Can anybody give me an idea on which kind of DIY cube are better than others?

What will be his fate when he is eligible to be in the HOF? Some of his stats include: .300+ career BA, 400+ HR, almost 1500 RBI's, almost 2500 hits, almost 500 2B's, and .500+ SLG. On top of that, he is a switch hitter. He is one of the greatest switch hitter, behind only Mickey Mantle (IMO). Is this a strong enough resume to be in the hall???

I am a student at AASU and I am looking for places to play free poker. I know around Atlanta many restaurants offer poker. I was wondering if there was any places around AASU that offer this. The only website I can find shows cash games in peoples houses. Can anybody give me more information?

I have owned a 4x4x4 Rubik's Cube for about a week now. The worst thing has happened to me. One of my centers has snapped. I am trying to figure out if there is anybody who is willing to sell me one or two of them. Or, if anybody knows of a website, please let me know. I looked at all the websites that I knew of. I am willing to pay about $1.50 to $2.00 a piece plus I will pay for a stamp to ship them. Please, if anybody has any information, let me know.

I have been looking into getting a very nice set of golf clubs. I have been swinging the X-22 tour irons at the PGA superstore and I have fallen in love with them. Are the X-24's any better? Does anybody know the differences between the two?

I need to reset it like it came from the factory. Does anybody have any idea????

I have only seen this a few times. I have seen on television what looks like a version of roulette and I would like to know what it is. Basically, instead of the normal roulette felt, there is a table with plastic areas to bet. They light up underneath the table to see the winning spaces. I think this is used with dice. Has anybody either seen this game or knows what it is called?

Before Tiger withdrew, Mickelson needed to win and Tiger needed to finish below 5th place. Now that he withdrew, does Mickelson's chances get any better, or is Mickelson winning the only was to be the new #1 in the word?

I am an inspiring engineer still in college and I have been a long time bowler. I have big plans when I grow up and when I buy a home, I eventually want to put a bowling alley in it. What is the average cost to put bowling alleys in one's home? Also, does a Tenpin bowling alley cost more than say a Candlestick bowling alley, than a duckpin bowling alley?

I am new to the Northern Georgia area. I recently moved to Woodstock. Does anyone know of any good/cheap golf courses in the area? Preferably around $30 a round

I was just wondering if anyone knows of an adult arcade (like Dave and Busters for example) from the Boston, Massachusetts area. I used to live in that area (Topsfield if that is of importance). I am trying to bring back childhood memories. I think the name of is something like Andys or something like that. The only thing that I can remember about the place is that there was a big pool hall and by the pool hall was a giant Alien statue that scared the crap out of me. The time period that I am talking about is around 1994-5. If anyone has any information...this would be greatly appreciated.
