How do I delete a Windows update that fails to install repeatedly?
I have a Windows 7 PC that has been attempting to install an update for over a month now, but it keeps saying that it fails when the machine restarts. It then downloads it again and tries again only to keep failing. How can I just get rid of this update so my machine will quit wasting time on a futile exercise? Thank you!
3 AnswersSoftware7 years agoWill Bill Richardson support Hillary Clinton at the Democratic Convention?
I have one question for Governor Richardson. Here it is: Since Senator Hillary Clinton won New Mexico's primary will he vote for Hillary as a superdelegate from his state, despite his support of Obama? After all, hasn't that been the argument of Barack Obama's supporters?
So, in August, I hope to see Bill Richardson's vote cast in support of Hillary Clinton, since his state voted for her. (Unless, he wants to be a hypocrite about it, like the rest of the Obama faithful.)
9 AnswersElections1 decade agoWhat's your opinion of George W. Bush's new hair color?
Recently, George W. Bush has been going from a blue haired grandmotherly rinse to a golden brown color in his hair. Of course, he still has a tinge of post-9/11 gray, but he is obviously going for a more youthful, media friendly look.
9 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoAre Alberto Gonzales' days, as Attorney General, numbered?
Is the recent debacle by the Justice Department enough to cost the Attorney General his Cabinet position? Will Bush give him a free pass and simply blame it on politics as usual?
Attorney General Gonzalez says he will only resign if President Bush asks him to do it.
When it comes to Bush doing the right thing, what lessons did we learn from former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's tenure and subsequent resignation?

4 AnswersPolitics1 decade agoPledge of Allegiance?
I teach in a public school in the South. Each morning, school is started with the Pledge of Allegiance. I tell students they have a Constitutional right to stand or not to stand, to say it or not to say it. Personally, I do not believe it has a place in a public school, but I do not speak out publicly about it. Many teachers in my building view me as unpatriotic (or even a Communist) for not 'forcing' students to stand and participate. Basically, they see me as more evil because I tell students they have a civil liberty which allows them to decide, for themselves, whether or not to participate. What do you think?
28 AnswersLaw & Ethics1 decade agoWere you once a teacher and now you're not?
I have been a middle school teacher for nearly six years. I find the classroom to be tedious and overwhelming with the needs of an unrealistic bureaucracy and out-of-control students. If you are/were a teacher who left, or thought about leaving, the profession, into which new field did you move? I am mostly interested in knowing about new jobs you can get without going back to school and earning a new degree. I have thought about teaching education at the collegiate/community college level, considering I have a master's degree and real-life experience.
