...and , and what would happen if the too many LEDs were in the circuit?

I know the power was off, and I disconnected 2 black leads, but the white leads sparked a little bit, 3 times, when I touched them with the screwdriver. Also, the room lights flickered once. I went back and shut off a half dozen more breakers, including the lights and the sparking stopped. Why?

...or should it go out when it senses the battery has a full charge? Tks!

I want to run Droid Sky View. For best results they require GPS, Accelerometer, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, Proximity sensor. Which phones have ALL of these features? No guessing, please. Thank you.

10 points for a specific device name that I can find on eBay.

It's a Win 7 machine, and the crash dump seems to refer to a memory location that cannot be accessed. I would have expected Windows to anticipate and allow a router to be powered on or off while the system is running. If the PC is in sleep mode, there is no problem.

I have a revolutionary idea to improve media sharing. How can I pitch it to several major software companies while ensuring my financial interests in the innovation? Non-disclosure and intellectual rights are paramount!

A globular cluster of stars is estimated to have a density of 7 stars per cubic light year. On the average, what is the inter-stellar distance from any star to the next closest one? Can you show this mathematically?

You've seen it, this is the little application window that gets installed with Yahoo! Messenger and pops up each time you start your PC. It displays a filmstrip of 35-40 thumbnails of current news stories and a larger picture on top. Once the window is closed, how can you open it again on demand?

Let's say I want exactly 1 gallon so I can take it home and mix in the exact amount of 2-cycle oil for my snowblower. Obviously, I can stand there and shut off the nozzle by myself. Obviously, I can leave the car, go into the building, wait in line, prepay, and tell the clerk to stop it at one gallon or $2.80 but that's not what I am asking. OK? Simple question. Is there an answer?

Obviously, I can stand there and shut off the nozzle by myself. Obviously, I can leave the car, go into the building, wait in line, prepay, and tell the clerk to stop it at $15, but that's not what I am asking. OK?

Should I paint the platform a dark bluish-white, or is snow white OK for a night scene? There will also be a wrap-around mural 12" high by 10 feet of painted fiberboard. I want a dark ribbon of river, a darker distant shore and a convincing sky color, like indigo or violet, also some residual sunset on one end of the mural. Think Polar Express. I am not an artist, so please be specific about paint types, colors, mixing and techniques! Should I just buy a pint of background color and add details with the more expensive paints? Thanks in advance for your thoughtful answers.

A poorly written master lease applies to 10 privately owned waterfront homes. The leaseholder says she would consider a new lease written by my lawyer, as long as it never gets recorded at the courthouse. Naturally, no bank would mortgage a home on leased land, so we are looking at a very big cash deal. My lawyer says, without recording the lease, I would be subject to vagaries of the leaseholders' lives, economic choices, and decisions by taxing authorities and creditors. I don't want to cloud the land title, but I would like the right to live in my own home for 20 or 30 years. What are the pros and cons of recording a lease? It's not too late, should I walk away from the proposed purchase?

I have bought and sold many times on eBay, but what should I know about selling a $20 gold piece worth $1000? Is it enough to set a high starting bid, require PayPal, and supply big, sharp photographs of the coin? Is it worth the expense to have the coin professionally graded, sealed, and certified first? What ripoffs should I be aware of?

This is all hypothetical. My tires are rated for a maximum pressure of 35 psi with a 1200 pound load. Since my actual load per tire is less than 700 pounds (not considering potholes and bad bumps), shouldn't the tires safely hold a lot more pressure? (35 psi * 1200pounds / 700pounds = 60 psi)

Suppose a car gets 40 mpg carrying 2 people and their luggage. You could call that 80 passenger-miles per gallon. A bus carrying 20 passengers, getting 4 mpg would still be 80 p-mpg. How do typical airliners stack up in terms of passenger miles per gallon? Today one airline announced they would add a fuel surcharge of up to $80 per person for a round-trip domestic flight. Ripoff?

The Escape key and Stop command fail to stop pages from indefinitly attempting to load while spyware blockers such as Spybot Search & Destroy are actively blocking an advertisement. A great example would be almost any page in yahoo mail. The tab wheel never stops spinning!

Just last night I had closed-captioning on the TV when the ad for the slim new Apple Air laptop comes out of the manilla envelope. The real words of the song go like this:

"I'm a new soul, I came to this strange world

hoping I could learn a bit 'bout how to give and take

I'm a young soul, in this very strange world

hoping I could learn a bit 'bout what is true and fake"

In the closed captioning, Apple mis-translates "fake" as "faith." Even if they can't hear right, the lyrics demand a word that is the opposite of "true." Give and take, true and fake. What could be easier? Faith, of course, is not the opposite of true, and it doesn't even ryhme with "take." Is Apple so twisted that they now think Faith is the opposite of Truth? This is an insult to all spiritually minded people of faith.

I can only see the satellite image for an instant when I switch the sidebar on or off, otherwise every map is black with diagrams of streets and overlays all over it. Already did an uninstall and reinstall.
