  • Continuance for Dismissal in Hennepin County Minnesota for out of state resident.?

    I just got a speeding ticket (first ticket ever) in Rogers, Mn and read online that in Hennepin county you can get it to not go on your record and raise insurance by getting a Continuance for Dismissal, paying extra, and not getting other tickets for a year. Only problem is I m just visiting. Can I do the same thing if me and my license are from Oregon? If not are there other ways to get the ticket not to raise my insurance?

  • Installing Windows 10 to hybrid hard drive?

    I am purchasing a new laptop and the one I am looking at has a hybrid 1tb 5400rpm +8gb solid state hard drive. It says I will get a free upgrade to windows 10 when it comes out on the 29th. Can I be sure that when I install windows 10 it will install the OS properly on the SSD to take advantage of that for a fast boot time? It would defeat the purpose of the SSD if it didn't install the new OS there and that is a major part of my laptop buying decision.

    I asked the online sales assistant and he said the hydrid is your cache drive, and the installation can only upload to main haddrrive (SSD).

    Can I buy this laptop with confidence that I will have windows 10 running smoothly and getting the full benefit of the hybrid drive?

  • Cheap covered parking for Toronto Pearson Airport for 3 weeks?

    I need to park my car for 3 weeks while I'm on a trip from Toronto Pearson Airport. Both https://www.parknfly.ca/Location/Toronto-Airport-P... and http://www.skywaypark.ca/ quoted me around $100 with free 24 hour shuttle to the airport. Both are outdoor lots and I was wondering if there was anything at a reasonable price compared to that with a covered lot.

  • Unopened hummus left out 12 hours?

    Last night I bought a few packs of hummus (the sabra supremely spicy kind, my favorite thing ever) and stupidly left my shopping bag on the counuter all night with the unopened hummus containers in it. It was about 12 hours at about 65 degrees in the house before i realized and got them in the fridge. Its still good to eat right? It looks fine. I see conflicting sources elsewhere on the interwebs, but everyone who thinks it goes bad is talking about containers that have been opened. Mine was still sealed. The seal isnt puffed out and everything looks the same. I think its good to eat, can anyone say for sure?

  • My Laptop's internet is much slower than my phone on the same wifi?

    I had my suspissions so I ran a test on speedtest.net on my laptop and got 756ms Ping and 0.57mbps download.Ran the test from the speedtest.net app on my iPhone sitting in the same place just 30 seconds later and got 47ms Ping and 5.95mbps download. Nothing changed. They are both on the same wifi network and no one else was on the network durning either test. The difference is between my phone and laptop. I have a decent laptop (HP dv6-3000, about 4 years old, intel i5 2.40GHz, 6.0GB RAM) it has been running a little slower lately, but when I'm not on the internet it seems like it still runs fine. I run CCleaner often so I don't think its browser cookies I clear all of those and the result is the same on all my browsers. Norton Internet Security Scans never come up with anything. Could my laptop's internal wifi card be burning out or something?

  • IE, Firefox, and Chrome crash when any key is pressed?

    So every once in a while I have this problem where no matter what browser I use it freezes as soon as I press any key on the keyboard and a message comes up saying it is not responding I choose the close the program option go into another browser or the same one again and as soon as I press a key on the keyboard the same thing happens. I can use my mouse and even paste in text I type in a non-browser program such as sticky note or MS word, but if I forget for a moment and hit the down arrow key to scroll insteat of using the bar on the side it crashes my browser. Restarting my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6-3000) usually fixes the problem temporarily, but it is happening more and more often.

  • Can someone describe Aaron's actions in the movie Primer?

    Ok, so here's how I think it goes. When Granger gets sick from time travel Abe tries to go back in the failsafe and not tell Aaron, but Aaron is just reciting the original conversation and Abe collapses. Then Aaron describes to Abe that he found the failsafe and went back already.

    Here's where I don't really understand it

    I think Aaron took the failsafe through another box to create a failsafe that isnt really failsafe because it wont stop Aaron from using the original failsafe (and this new not so failsafe failsafe is the one Abe used when Granger got sick). Aaron then killed the original Aaron and went about recreating the original path of events so that Abe won't be able to stop The two of them from traveling in time to begin with.

    But then theres a part where another Aaron tries to kill this new Aaron, but the new one fights back and one Aaron convinces another Aaron that he should be the one to do things because he already has the tapes of the conversations and I get none of that.

    So someone please just explain the whole last 15 minutes of the movie.

    Oh and who killed whom at 1:01:53?

  • Monsoon Hava installation Wizard Crashing?

    I got a used Monsoon Hava Platinum HD just to play around with and I am having trouble installing it. I am on windows 7 64bit and downloaded the windows 7 software (HAVA_V1.8.1.39_W7). That installs two programs, the player and the first time device installation wizard. Every time I try to use the installation wizard it successfully gets through step one (checking for software updates), then crashed during step 2 (Detecting the Hava). Then I get an error message saying "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available. It then gives me the option to debug the program and when I click that a message comes up that says the debugger you selected cannot be started. Any idea how to install this thing? All help will be much appreciated.

  • Laptop keyboard issue?

    My HP Pavilion dv6-3000 series laptop's keyboard started having problems a little while ago. The g and h keys were hard to get to work and the backspace and apostrophe keys didn't work at all. I bought the replacement keyboard and switched them out and it worked at first, then the exact same keys had the exact same problem. Now sometimes it works perfectly but very rarely and most of the time it still has the exact same problem as before I replaced the keyboard. What the heck is the problem. Any help would be very much appreciated.

  • Find the derivative of the inverse of y=3x-5x^3 at y=2?

    I got -1/57 but the answer in the back of the textbook is 16/15. How did they get that. (I am not allowed to use a calculator).

  • If y=(1-tanx)/1+tanx) find y'(pi/3)?

    Here is the work I have done so far:

    y'(x)=(((-(secx)^2)-((secx)^2)tanx)-(((secx)^2)+((secx)^2)tanx))/((1+tanx)^2)

    =(-2(secx)^2)/((1+tanx)^2)

    =-8/4+2((3)^(0.5))

    so I got -4/(2+((3)^(0.5)), but apparently should have gotten -4(2-((3)^(0.5)))

    any idea how I messed up?

  • Precalculus Help: Solve for x: 2^(1-x)=3^(2x+5)?

    Here is my work so far. Not sure if their the right steps, but I know they are things you can do.

    2^(1-x)=3^(2x+5)

    log(2^[1-x])=log(3^[2x+5]) (log of both sides)

    (1-x)(log2)=(2x+5)(log3) (move exponents out of the log)

    (1-x)/(2x+5)=(log3)/(log2) (divide so all x is on one side)

    please help!
