  • Is it possible to have two different Mail tiles/icons on the start screen on Windows 8?

    I'd like to have one for my personal email, (a gmail account) and one for my school email account (an outlook account, I believe)

    I know all about syncing different accounts into gmail, but I'd rather have two different ones, easier to see important emails...

  • Question for libertarians?

    Out of curiosity, how do you libertarians feel about these two issues.

    First: Gay marriage: since there is nothing regrading marriage in the Constitution, and there is an equal protection clause, a federal law defining marriage as one man and one woman is obviously a bad idea, and a horrible thing for liberty.

    BUT: Also, since there is nothing specifically regarding marriage, wouldn't that issue, under the 10th amendment, be left to the states and the people of the states?

    I don't want to here: liberals saying "EVERYONE DESERVES MARRIAGE"

    Please no conservatives saying "THE BIBLE SAYS THAT HOMOSEXUALITY IS A SIN" (I feel that that is a worse argument. We are a civilized country, and you can use that argument to make a personal case against gay marriage. But not a legal case. We should not use religion to make our laws. You know what country does that? Iran.)

    Second: Abortion: There is nothing regarding abortion in the US Constitution. (granted, we do have a 4th Amendment that could be used to justify abortion)

    But, as libertarians, shouldn't we also do everything we can to protect all life, and liberty, even the unborn.

    We constantly talk about future generations, 10,20, and 50 years down the road being saddled with debt, but we don't consider a child, say, 4 or 5 months down the road.

    I feel as a libertarian (or, I now consider myself mostly libertarian) believe I should protect all life and liberty, especially those who do not yet have a voice to speak out with yet.

    Again, no liberals saying "my body my choice"

    and no conservatives saying "abortion is a sin"

    Or, are these the biggest disagreements among libertarians.

  • How to get wrinkles out of nylon flag?

    **I am not sure if its nylon, but its the cheapest flag you can buy)

    My flag is all wrinkled, and I've looked through here, and some have said "wash it"

    I don't want to wash it because it was signed by someone, and am worried if I iron it, it'll melt.

    (maybe just try it on tumble (no heat) or something?

    THANKS Y'ALL

  • Books on economics/economic thought help/recommendations?

    Are there any good economics books that describe the different schools of economic though? (meaning some of the ones I feel are most prominent, Keynsian, Austrian, Chicago)

    Also, I would rather not have it really be in a text book format, but more of a book written by an economist.

    I've lost track of time a few times watching/listening to Milton Friedman videos on YouTube multiple times.

    Or a book that goes into Game Theory more, or price theory...

    Any interesting books would be great.

    I've heard Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman is pretty good.

    I'd consider myself to have a pretty good understanding of Economics, just through articles I've read, and other things... So nothing really Grad student level though.

    Any tips, or know what the problem is?

    I've tried the "hold power button and home screen button down for 10 seconds. Multiple times. And it doesn't work"

    It also now says "activation required"

    any other secrets to get this thing fixed? I'm hoping the battery'll run down and it'll work after that...
