No one has ever "won" American Ninjia Warrior but they spend so much money and time training. I was wondering if they receive any compensation short of the "million dollar prize" that is nearly impossible to win.

I am in China so Google Play is blocked I've been using 1mobile but I can only access it using 3G not good for downloading large apps, my home internet it is blocked. But I have tried changing DNS servers, how do I find the problem if it isn't the Great firewall of China.

I am in China so I need a VPN to access Facebook, IMDB.com, Twitter, Etc.

However, when using my VPN facebook works perfectly but when I visit webpages with content from multiple sources (such as optimizely), I get stuck on WAITING for xxxx.xxx.com). Sometimes the art will show up and the content will stall for ever. Sometimes the content will appear only when I navigate away from the page... Going back doesn't help.

I fixed this problem (based on suggestions on another forum) by changing the Network setting for the VPN (TCP/IP advanced) and unchecked USE DEFAULT GATEWAY ON REMOTE NETWORK. This solved the waiting for BUT FACEBOOK, HULU, Twitter, doesn't work at all. My DNS is GoogleDNS 8.8.8.8 set on my router. Because my IP address still reads China.

I use my laptop at home and work. I need a password at work but don't want to have to use it at home. Is it possible to have Windows 7 change password requirements based on the network location. IE at my home network (no password) WORK or Public location (password).

Thanks

I know that if you add all the weight of all the bacteria on earth together it is more than the combined weight of all OTHER life on Earth. What I don't know is what is the combined weight of ALL life on earth.

This is a quote that is going around the Internet that is attributed to Betty White, however I wanted to know what the original source is... Was it a Betty White appearance, a book, or maybe just something someone made up and attributed to the comedian.

Please provide original source material.

I am pasting VERY VERY long paragraphs into WORD MERGE files. Word only allows 255 characters so I am using LEFT 255 followed by =MID(J3,256,255) =MID(J3, 511, 255) =MID(J3, 766, 255) Etc...

This works most of the time except when MID 256+255 ends with an actual word. This lean 766 starts with a SPACE or a blank and EXCEL removes them.

I then have to run the entire merge in spell check to find the words that are messed up.

Is there a way to keep starting spaces?

Thanks

I was wondering if there is a list or a number of international airports that have scheduled flights to the United States.

In the wonderful book Charlie Wilson's War, Congressmen Wilson learns that in war, bullets are more expensive then guns, here is an example.

A man fires around 7,000 rounds a year at 15 cents per round which equals $1,050 per person to fire a cheap $165 AK-47.

My question and I haven't been able to find the answer is how much does the 7.26 mm rounds that the mingun fire cost. This machine fires 2,000 to 4,000 rounds a PER MINUTE!!!

While this gun cost $35,000 if this ammo also cost $0.15 a round 1 minute of shooting would cost $600, that seems like it could add of fast even by US military standards

I have to admit I hate IMAP. I understand why it is "better" and I agree it is better if I travel from computer and computer and want all my e-mail to look EXACTLY the same, BUT I don't! I have a very small quota on my IMAP account and want a PERMINATE archive on my HOME computer. THEREFOR I want a POP account, I want my e-mails to be downloaded and SAVED on the SERVER where I can delete or not delete to my hearts content.

Now I have to manually CHOOSE which files to "save to archive" REALLY! There has to be a better solution. If someone sends me a 20 meg attachment, I have rules to auto move it to archives, but what if I deleted a small e-mail that was an invite and later decided maybe I wanted that. If my home computer was a POP client it would still be there searchable by GOOGLE desktop, OUTLOOK search, and even Windows Search.

ANY ADVISE!! Thank you

When I copy and paste from Internet Explore into EXCEL or WORD, my Excel or word is locked up for four minutes, I can't type or get any work done. If I copy from Internet Explorer into NOTEPAD and then copy the EXACT same data from Notepad into WORD or EXCEL nothing bad happens. That being said, I sometimes forget and am stuck staring at the Hourglass for four minutes. Is there anyways to get EXCEL to give up and let me work!!!

I believe the problem is the IT person has Internet access BLOCKED from EXCEL and WORD and word or EXCEL is trying to access the data I copy and pasted, NOT just the text, but I am not sure.

Thank you in advance.

I purchased a USED PC, and the sale said it included an OS License, but when I got the computer it was ONLY the OS license KEY not the disk. What can I do?

For a car with on-star to have the Turn By Turn GPS they also require you to have ABS (anti-lock braking) installed. This seems like a strange requirement. I know some hardwired GPS units tie into the cars computer so when satellite lock is lost it can keep giving directions based on car speed, but this should required ABS. Anyone know what information a braking system can give a GPS unit that speedometers or engine output can not?

I am angry, so angry I am about to cancel my DSL contract. Today, Yahoo added Advertisements to my Premium e-mail. It now takes 4 seconds to run ANY command.

If ads are not bad enough, slowing down my computer is a crime worth giving up DSL for Cable Modem in my book.

What can I do to make sure Yahoo.com knows just how pissed I am!

Yesterday, I saw a movie at the second run theatre, so the trailers are sometimes old. It was a movie that was released in Dec 06 but never played in my town. So the movie might have already been to the theatres and left. The trailer was about the music of the 60's and the changing times, it look wonderful, but I've never heard of the movie or seen the trailer before. Can't remember the name was wan't able to find it using yahoo search. Thanks in advance

When doing very simple subtraction EXCEL is adding decimals to the results. This is making verification impossible.

Here is example: $7,959.1 (yes we are only showing 1 decimal place) MINUS $8,744.9= $785.8 should be the result, but instead we get

785.799999999999999999 can anyone explain this? How do I stop it from happening. My verification requires 785.8, I get errors from 785.7999999 even thought the OUTPUT shows 785.8

Sometimes when I use any thing in my Yahoo Toolbar (only at work) I get empty screens with no URL in the tool bar. As far as I can tell there is no rhyme or reason to this error.

It doesn't matter if I am clicking on Mail or Search, a new blank page maybe appear or the correct page will show up.

Anyone have this problem or no a possible sollution?
