Answer to:
Why do computers on movies not often run the Windows operating system, when it is the most common OS on the world's computers? It is shown sometimes, but more often the Macintosh is shown, because it is thought to have more style and prestige. It may also serve as subtle product placement for Apple, since its products are not as widely advertised as Microsoft's. Also, since Macs are more often favored by the artistic crowd, it would make sense that computers featured in a movie would be like those used by those...

What are the pros and cons of being an only child? As an only child, I think that the pros far outweigh the cons. When I was very young I always wanted a sibling, but as I got older I got over it and I really appreciate it now. I wouldn't have it any other way. Only children benefit economically, mentally, and socially. Being an only child and having to move a lot, I was forced to be outgoing because this was the only way I would make...

What is the best way to stop a nosebleed? The fastest way to stop it is to lean over a sink or sit with your head bent down (just make sure your head is not tilted back), pinch your nose just under the bridge and hold a tissue under your nostrils. This causes the blood to clot and will make it stop faster than if you tilt your head back or lie down. It will stop eventually if you do those things, but you can swallow a lot of blood...

Answer to:
Is it still considered a fashion faux pas if white shoes are worn before Easter and after Labor Day? In a more traditional setting, yes, but it's not as strict a rule as it used to be. As far as current fashion goes, it doesn't matter. Rules for fashion have been relaxed, and it is no longer considered a faux pas if you don't always follow those kind of rules. However, if you were going somewhere more formal, such as a church or workplace where more formal attire than usual is...

How can I wash a cat that won't sit still in water? It can help to have two people to do the job, one to do the washing and one to hold the kitty. You can gently hold the front and back paws without squeezing, so the cat can't get away or scratch you. You only need a very shallow bit of water, and you can lightly splash to get the cat wet rather than submerging. Usually this is more comfortable to them than being in deep water. Cats...

Answer to:
Why do most drugs advertised on television cause diarrhea or "uncontrollable bowel movements?" Drug advertisements are required to list ANY side effects experienced by anyone taking the drug, even if only 1 person ever experienced it. So that means that your chances of getting certain effects may be very limited. If you are concerned, usually you can find out the statistics of how many people had each side effect.

Answer to:
Do the Atkins diet or other protein diets work, or does everyone gain the weight back later? If you want to lose weight quickly, this diet definitely works, as long as you keep a healthy diet after you are finished with it in order to maintain your new weight. But studies have shown that in the long run it is unhealthy if kept up for a long period. I am not sure of the actual scientific reason that they say it works, but the main reason the Atkins diet seems to work is because you...

Answer to:
How can I get rid of a hangover? Drinking water is the best, but Diet Coke and ginger ale can make you feel better, although they dehydrate you even more. There are a lot of recipes for drinks you can make and keep in the fridge so they are handy and you don't have to make it when you're hungover. Also, I have heard some people say Pedialyte (the kid's drink) works.

How can I find out which cell phone service has the best coverage in my area? Usually on the company's website there is a map of coverage in your area. Sometimes the same map is in the brochures you get at stores like Radio Shack, etc. Even if it looks like there is no coverage in your area, sometimes there may be a small pocket where it is not roaming, so it's best to talk to a real person and find out for sure, if you really want a certain provider.

What should I do to prepare for a job interview? Make sure you leave plenty of time to get there, especially if you are unfamiliar with the area or if there will be heavy traffic. At the same time, it is not good to be too early, so it is better to wait in the car if you find you have too much time. Appearance is incredibly important.
