  • Electrical Outlets in U.S. vs Japan?

    I live in the U.S. and I'm going to Tokyo, Japan. I know they have similar outlets as the US, but I know some plugs won't fit. I was wondering if you can help me out.

    I plan on taking my laptop and phone so I need my chargers to work over there. Will these work?

    I've included pictures of the 2 chargers (front and side view):

  • Statistics Problem. I can really use your help!?

    Hey guys,

    I would REALLY appreciate any help with this problem. I'm stuck. Its a 2 part problem.

    An airport limousine can accommodate up to 4 passengers on any one trip. The company will accept a max. of 6 reservations for a trip, and a passenger must have a reservation. From previous records, 20% of all those making reservations do not appear for the trip. Answer the following questions, assuming that the passengers act independently.

    a) If 6 reservations are made, what is the probability that at least 1 individual with a reservation cannot be accommodated on the trip?

    b) If 6 reservations are made, what is the expected number of available places when the limousine departs?

    Thanks again!

  • Probability Question (Statistics)?

    I'm having difficulty with this question. Help would be greatly appreciated.

    An actor is to be sent to France (with probability 0.6) or Italy (with probability 0.4). It is also known that a randomly selected resident of France wearing a fur coat with probability 0.5, whereas a randomly selected resident of Italy is wearing a fur coat with probability 0.7.

    Upon arrival, the first person the actor sees is NOT wearing a fur coat. What is the probability that this prisoner is in France?

  • Pokemon Platinum (USA) Action Replay Codes?

    Okay I've been successful in finding quite a few of codes on many websites and on youtube, but I still cant find the SHINY code.

    *NOTE*- I dont want one that makes every pkmn in the game shiny (inculding all the pkmn in your box), I want the code that only makes wild pkmn shiny (like the code for Diamond and Pearl).

    Is there a such code for the USA version of Platinum?

    thanks...

  • Backing up my hardrive?

    Does iolo System Mechanic Professional come with a back up utility?

    If so, is it able to create a complete "image" or "snapshot" of my hard drive in case my computer suddenly fails; or at least does it allow me to copy my programs (Microsoft Office, Adobe, etc.)

    If not, what programs, other than Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image, allow me to do this.

    One other question: Am I able to copy my hard drive from my new computer onto my old computer (instead of copying the hard drive onto an external hard drive).

  • Can CCleaner corrupt the system/32 file?

    I'm asking this because I had ran the registry cleaner using CCleaner and the next day my computer did not start saying:

    /windows/system32/config/system

    windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:

    /windows/system32/config/system

    you can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup cd rom, select r at the first screen to start repair press 'r'

    I fixed the problem by doing what it said, but now certain programs dont work.

    I used to love CCleaner as I felt that it really helped my computer a lot, but now I'm afraid to use it at all.

    So, can CCleaner corrupt the registry?
