1 AnswerOther - Yahoo Products1 decade agoHow long are the Mainstage sets for Bumbershoot festival (Seattle)?
It's been YEARS since I've been to Bumbershoot, but I'm excited about Sunday Sept 5ths lineup. Rise Against, Hole, and Weezer... How long are the sets for the Mainstage performers? Can I expect more than an "opening act" length set from Rise Against (the band I'm most excited to see)?
1 AnswerRock and Pop1 decade agoDisk Defrag problem- Losing memory after defrag?
I defragmented my hard drive and LOST memory. How is that possible? The first time I did it, I lost 10 GB, I did a system restore, regained the lost memory and then defragged again a few days later. The same thing- this time I lost about 6GB. I'm not the most computer savvy person out there, but this just doesn't make sense to me. Any ideas as to why this is happening and what can I do to fix this problem?
2 AnswersOther - Hardware1 decade agoDisk Defrag making my laptop LOSE memory- Help Please!?
I just did a disk defrag on my Gateway laptop and went from 92.4GB free memory to 86.7GB immediately follow the defrag. What's going on here? I thought that I woud gain free memory rather than lose it. It did the same thing a few weeks back when I did a defrag, so I did a System Restore and was able to get (that time I lost more like 10GB) the memory back that way.
My laptop is a Gateway M-6834 with Vista Home Premium. The defrag that I used was the one that was pre-installed on the computer (windows).
I'm curious as to why this is happening, if I should get rid of the windows defrag and get a 3rd party one, or if for some reason this is normal. The computer itself is like 2 or 3 years old, runs fine, but I was just trying to "clean house" and gain some performance. The last time that I did a disk defrag was in 2008 (I can't remember if it was doing the same thing then and that's why I disabled the scheduled defrag in the first place).
Any help, advice is appreciated...
Thanks

I've been on unemployment for about 6 months, looking for work but nothing working out for me. My benefits ran out last week and I was sent out a form for additional benefits. Filled it out and sent it out the same day. I was wondering, how long will it take to process my claim and actually begin to get the benefits?
Thanks
