My university is switching its mail service to something unwholesomely inconvenient.

Is there a way to have that mail redirected to my Yahoo! account?

do I have to upgrade to Mail Plus?

Thanks

In Settlers of Catan, say one friend is going for the longest road card. He's got this kind of set up. ("-" = road, "#" = settlement)

# - - # - - # - - - - #

It is legal for an opponent to place a settlement in the middle of that long string of roads and break the road, so to speak, and make it two separate roads.

Now, can that be (in a sense) reversed?

By this, I mean can I build roads through someone else's settlement, or does that settlement act as a "block" from further expansion.

The rules didn't really say anything that addressed this.

I believe I ate some bad chicken or egg about four days ago. we'll call that day zero.

Day one, I felt awful. vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, slight dehydration, and couldn't eat.

Day two, I felt better, but just very lethargic. I slept... basically all day, and when I could, I drank some water and ate applesauce.

Day three, I felt a lot better. I ate regular food, however little it was, drank lots of water, my #2s seemed pretty regular, and all symptoms seemed gone (save for very small appetite).

Day four (today), since I woke up, I've been in and out of the bathroom extremely often, with very watery stool. I haven't had much discomfort or any nausea/vomiting, but I've had these persistent watery stools. (every day since Day Zero, I haven't had to urinate, if that changes anything.)

Now, my hypothesis is the following:

1. I did in fact have food poisoning

2. The virus has run its course for the most part

3. My body has the thing cornered and is flushing all traces of it out, using all the water my body has.

Could this be the case? It makes sense to me, but I couldn't find that specific information anywhere online.

Thanks.

I read one of the more recent Q&As on here, and found out that the newer PS3s do not play PS2 games, but they do play PSone games.

Is there some kind of hardware incompatibility?

Or is this Sony being fulla money-grubbing [expletives] that want to keep people dependent on the PS2 even after buying a PS3?

I have a feeling it's the latter. multi-platform releases still include the PS2...

I don't have a PS3, but I was playing someone else's copy of LittleBIGplanet, and the game is fantastic, and it made me want to buy a PS3. Only problem is money.

How much could I get on eBay for a original model PS2, controllers, and games?

Are there any special offers anywhere to get a discount on a PS3?

I have a Wii and I want a PS3 so I can have access to any good game that comes out on HD systems, too.

How much would one be able to get for a Peyton Manning rookie card with a commemorative coin right now? when he retires? when he's inducted into the hall of fame? when he passes?

I'm just wondering how much of a difference it would make it I save it.

When they came out with the slim PS2, I had just bought one of the bulky ones a month earlier to replace my brother's after he'd moved out, and I was a little angry.

I'm in the market for a PS3 and I wanted to check before I bought one this winter.

that some people are having troubles with their drum set. Faulty pads, broken frame hardware, etc...

Is this just people whining for the sake of whining or is it an actual concern?

There're a lot of good Wii games coming out in the next few months.

1. Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (9/16)

2. Rock Band 2 (sometime soon)

3. Wii Music (10/20)

4. Guitar Hero: World Tour (10/26)

5. James Bond: Quantum of Solace (11/04)

6. The Conduit (Q1 2009)

7. Pikmin Wii (eventually)

any other exciting releases?

also psyched for Spore and Sims 3!

I'm a long-time fan of the franchise, but I've heard skepticism over the Wii version of '09.

So, now it's been over a week. What do you think? Is it good enough to buy?

I've read and read and haven't found anything definitive.

Is Futurama coming back with brand new episodes?

That's my all-time favorite show and I need to know!

How does one transfer his music from an mp3 CD to a Zune.

The Zune software doesn't see Data CD's, so it won't open up my mp3 CD so I can put the music in my library.

When I open it in Windows Media Player, I don't even know how to put those songs in my library (I'm pretty sure that'd work, too).

There has to be an easy way to do this. Something I'm not seeing?

For some reason, my Zune isn't connecting with my computer.

When I first plugged in my sync cable, it started trying to connect, but told me to unplug it and try again. So I did, and now it's not seeing it at all, and my computer is constantly making the "new device found/device disconnected" noises every 15 seconds or so.

My USB port is fine, I checked that. I don't have a clue why it's not working.

Like the rest of the world, I wanna hoard music, mp3-style, for little or no cash.

I download music off of Zune Marketplace (without burn rights, 'cause I'm cheap), and I don't want to lose the songs when my ZunePass subscription runs out.

So, is there an easy way to bypass the burn-block?

Would a burn-software other than Zune or WMP just not recognize the block and bypass it?

I've heard good and bad things about each.

I'm going to buy one or the other, so here's your chance, give me your sales pitch.

Don't spare a thought. I want paragraphs. If I'm spending $200+, I'm gonna be sure I made the right choice!

What songs does the ice cream truck play?

one of them is the Nutcracker Suite, but i can't place another one I heard, and it's bothering me.

I can't be the only one that sees it. The Wii's revolutionary control schemes are PERFECT for first person shooters, and we've seen that in Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, and a few others.

Does anyone know if a first-person shooter is scheduled for release on the Wii anytime in the future? or should I start saving for a 360?

What is that button on the top-middle for.

It opens two slots on the back of the controller, so it's probably to unlatch something.

But what peripheral have they come/are they coming out with that latches onto the Classic Controller?

In online play, I notice that some of the courses are mirrored.

Is there a way I can mirror any course when I want (outside of Time Trials and Grand Prix modes), or is that something the online server does at random?

I have mirror mode unlocked and everything, I just don't see an option to do it with.

It's coming out June 22nd.

What's going to be different about it compared to Rock Band for 360 and PS3?
