I want to buy a book that doesn't exist?
I desperately want a copy of Mitchell Heisman's Suicide Note, but I want a hard copy, not the PDF that I have already downloaded.
I've been looking into services like Lulu, to print myself a copy, but the limitations of these services is that they only seem to print up to about 7-800 page long books, and of course Heisman's book is 1900+.
Could anyone either point me in the direction of someone who could provide me a copy, or of a service that I could use to print one myself?
3 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoIs it wrong to go trolling on Y!A?
I have been known to troll a little, but only on questions that are either absurd, or offensive to me. (Usually in the Spirituality section, where I often find Atheists are being called all the names under the sun.)
But if not done to excess, is it just a harmless pastime; or is it wrong to troll at any point, for any reason?
9 AnswersYahoo Answers1 decade agoWhat was the TV program, where a northern girl goes to London and becomes a bus driver?
I'm sure it was around in 2007 or 2008, but it may have been as early as 2006.
It's bugging the heck outta me as I want to show my friend, but she thinks I am making it up!!
I can also remember there being a jerky guy who tells everyone she's a lesbian, possibly because he won't date her? And she gets all annoyed and tells everyone in the canteen "I don't like women, I like sex with guys" which creased me up at the time.
Please, please let someone else remember the name of this show!
1 AnswerDrama1 decade agoI'm learning to knit, and am getting a little confused...?
This might seem silly, but when knitting, and wanting to use stocking stitch, do I do a whole row with knit stitch then a whole row with purl stitch, or do I do a single knit stitch, then a single purl stitch? I'm getting so confused!
2 AnswersHobbies & Crafts1 decade agoI've lost a website... Has anyone found it? It's for making live CDs...?
Hey there!
I have bookmarked a website at work, that is for making custom Linux live CDs.
Only problem is, I am not AT work, and I REALLY want to use it now.
I've looked and looked, but I can't find it.
Has anyone seen it? It is quite a soft-looking website, if that makes sense. The options are in a rounded box in the middle. The colours are all muted, and it is a really good site.
I just can't remember what it's called. =S
Any ideas people?
2 AnswersSoftware1 decade ago[VOTE] Do you use Windows XP, or Windows Vista? Did you know there are alternatives?
I am curious to know how many people out there know that you DON'T have to use Windows, and that Mac OSX isn't the only other option.
Have you ever tried a Unix/Linux based OS? Or any others? Please share your favourites?
If you haven't, please still reply =D
23 AnswersOther - Computers1 decade ago[UK] How would you become a games tester?
My boyfriend's ideal job is to become a games tester. We couldn't find much information about how you would actually become one though! Do you need any formal qualifications, or is 15+ years of console and PC gaming experience (he's been a total gamer since he was like 10yrs old) qualification enough?
If anyone has any tips or advice, it would be greatly appreciated =D
8 AnswersVideo & Online Games1 decade agoWho sang "New Disease" first?

3 AnswersRock and Pop1 decade agoHow do I boot from a Linux Live CD?!?
I have a lovely collection of 3 distros now, I have PCLinuxOS installed and dualbooting with XP, and I have Ubuntu and DSL both as Live CDs, as well as my PCLOS live CD.
My PC boots to CD 1st and HDD 2nd.
But I am getting stuck at a DR-DOS prompt and I have no idea what to type!
So anyhow I get stuck after this:
::starting Caldera Dos
[then flashes though lines which went REAL fast and seem to be about hardware detection, then ends on this screen]
::Using DPMS DOS protected mode service
::Cache size 7670KB (XMS)
::minimum cache size 1024KB
::Write through drives : A B
::current options
::\MLX - Program is loaded into conventional and xms memory using DPMS
::\BL=16- lookahead buffer is in conventional memory, size in KB
::\Lead=ON- lend memory to other apps = 6646 kb available
::\delay=off write delay is disabled, caching is write through
::caldera DR-DOS 7.03
::copyright(C) 1976, 1998 caldera inc. All rights reserved
::[DR-DOS] A:\>
I'm SO confused! Where do I go from here?

3 AnswersSoftware1 decade agoWould you help us decide?
Hi there. My bf and I have almost been dating a whole year now. In fact it will be a year on August 31st.
And here's where the problem comes in. The next chance he gets to see his mates is 31st Aug - 1st Sep, and after that it might be a fair while til he gets to hang out with them again.
So he'd be leaving for 3-4 days, over our anniversary.
But he very rarely gets to see his friends. He hardly ever goes out at all (like drinking and having fun and stuff), and usually takes me anyway.
I've just reminded him that it will be our anniversary, so he's said he won't go 'cause it will upset me, (which incidently is exactly the kind of thing he does all the time, he is the sweetest guy in the world) but I don't know what to say to that, on the one hand I want him to see his friends, hell, he sees me all the time, but on the other hand, it IS our 1 year anniversary.
We have decided that the fairest way to decide is to ask internet strangers to decide if he goes or not.
What do you think?

5 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoOur PC's can't seem to get along... Please help?
I'm trying to connect my PC to my BFs, using a Belkin router.
We are both running XP Pro, and are both using a wired connection.
My pc can see his on the network I have set up, but cannot access his PC.
His says that it does not have access to the network.
We both still have access to the internet, we cannot share files which is what we are trying to do.
I have run the network set-up wizard with a variety of different options, but nothing seems to be working.
I did have it working the other week, but then I had to re-install Windows, and now I can't seem to get it set back up,
This is driving me mad! I've been trying for hours! Please can someone help?
