You see the office slacker (attractive female) slip out of a back store room. Shortly a supervisor slips out behind her. Both were adjusting their clothes upon exit. 5 weeks later the slacker gets a lateral promotion with more pay. What would make of it? I would wish I'd caught it on the video phone. Be interesting to see what the M.D. had to say about it... I really hate slackers who work they way up using their hole, it's despicable and shows the fallacy of all these 'inequality' claims.

You go to a a store and see one of the workers accidently drop all the boxes. What do u do? help, ignore, or laugh at them? Help them. I stacked boxes too, at one point - nothing is more irritating that some idiot pointing and laughing at your misfortune. The odd thing is these people act all surprised and hurt when they get a smack in the chops as a result.

Answer to:
Why do we laugh when we see some one slip/ fall down? 'We' don't. Last time I saw someone fall down, it was a frail little old lady, rushing home from shopping to her bed-bound hubby. She split her eyebrow open & her shopping rolled down the road. Nobody laughed - why would they?

In the same way that the film 'Trainspotting' did anything but promote or glamorize drug usage, as was widely surmised by people who hadn't read the book or seen the film, so 'Lolita' isn't a book promoting child abuse.

is there any draw back to high wattage inverters and how long can they last They are expensive, which is a significant drawback - as to how long they'll last depends mainly on how good they were to start with, and how often and how heavily they are loaded.

If the label says 'input range 110V-240V' and your supply is 220V, well.... 220V is inside the stated range of 110-240V, isn't it? Yes. So it will work. Producing 8.5V out as stated.

I'm trying to replace a blown fuse in my stereo. The original was 5mm x 20mm (3/4" x 1/5") and had "T2AL250V" written across the top. I bought a new one that said "2A 250V" across the top, but the wire broke as soon as I plugged it in. What do I need? You need to fix the short! Replacing the fuse each time it blows does not address the underlying fault. If it's a modern, chinese stereo, it probably has an electronic switch-mode power supply. A very common failure mode of these supplies is to draw short-circuit current, and they are often uneconomic to repair.

How do you deal with an annoying and bitchy sister? a) Wait until she's 5mins into her regular half-hour shower, and then shut off the hot water at the valve/boiler/cylinder. Turn back on immediately that you hear the bathroom door, and plead total ignorance - further testing of the shower will produce normal results. With a perfectly straight face, helpfully offer to show her how to work the shower controls. b) Bash cloves of really raw...

How do you deal with an annoying telemarketer? 3) Tell them that your really interested, but you're toast is burning and ask them to call back in 10mins. For numbers which are traceable (and not withheld) get the caller's number and look it up on google, there are many nuisance-call reverse directories (e.g. reversephonebooks.co.uk), get the company name (that's often enough) then get an official sounding friend to take the next marketing...

Why do so many people have a problem phoning you back now? They say, give me your number and I'll call you in an hour and they never do, businesses are the same, they ask for your number and never call back. Why do you think? They've dodged the bullet, and got rid of you in one hit - they win. It's all about customer avoidance, the cheaper way of doing business, just like those "now choose from 93 equally unhelpful and pointless options.." automated lines. Getting your hands around their actual necks is the only real solution to this particular problem.

Answer to:
What's the difference between power, voltage, currant and energy? I know the definitions but I still don't get the difference. Electrical power is the measure of energy transferred per second - currant is a small, dried fruit and energy is just that. So, two of them are electrical quantities, the other is a baking ingredient. If you confuse them, not only will your circuits fail (and possibly smell of burnt grapes) but your cakes may prove to be electrifying rather than tasty.

Answer to:
Whats better for house plumbing, copper water pipes or PVC? Copper, every time. Will last a lifetime. A lot of the remedial work I do involves badly installed plastic pipework. It's ok for certain things, within tight limits of correct installation, but copper is a superior material. Neater, more robust, heatproof, vermin proof, sag proof, much more nail resistant - list goes on. A.Plumber

Answer to:
Can I use a PVC pipe for hot water? If it's rated for it. Should be printed down the side. If there is only a standards number, you'll have to look it up. Polybutylene is a better bet - higher temp. rating. Used in underfloor heating, along with PEX. A.Plumber

Answer to:
Homeowner plumbing question. I have water leaks in my home cold water inlet pvc pipes. It looks like rats or some other rodent may have chewed into the pipe to cause the leak. But I have never heard of a pvc pipe leak caused by rodents, is this possible? All the time. I have had to replace poly pipe struck by rodents - little gits gnaw on it to sharpen their teeth. Trouble is, once you've found one weep, chances are there are 100 more just waiting to go. Replacement with same is a waste of time - the like the fresh stuff. Strip out and replace with copper, and get the vermin control in while you're at it. A. Plumber

how does a water flow switch work Why use it Usually the flow of water in a bore restriction applies force to a paddle, which then moves and operates a switch either directly (via a seal) or magnetically, through the wall of the switch.

Other types use Doppler shift...

Answer to:
Some of my incoming water line is PVC, all else is copper. Are there any health concerns with drinking water and PVC? If it's the correct grade, marked for potable water, then no, PVC is fine, as is copper. Lead pipes in a soft water area are a hazard, as are cheap 'flexi' braided hoses, as the non-approved cheap chinese liners have been proven by WRAS to support microbial growth.

Weak coffee is pointless, too. Make it properly or don't bother - warm, slightly brown water just doesn't do the job!

Answer to:
My girlfriend recently found a guy that she enjoys hanging out with. She stayed at his house last night with a bunch of people. She just told me that she slept in his bed and snuggled him cause they were cold. Oh, and she was tipsy... Is this cheating? Put it this way, if you did that, what would she say (and loudly, for a protracted period)? So it works both ways - of course it's cheating. What next? A friendly hand job? Mate's naked massage? Cold, my arse. How well would that excuse work for you if the roles were reversed? Exactly.

How do I get my mom to stop bringing junk food home? I crave it when it's in the house, but don't when it's not. I don't want to gain weight. I'm thin and exercise regularly, but she doesn't as much. I don't want her to ruin her health. Go shopping with her, as that's when she's weakest. Provide moral support, steer gently, and failing that, take all the junk out of the trolley and replace it with food. Remember - if it's not in the cupboard, you can't eat it - so keep junk out of the house to start with and then there'll be no temptation to give in to.

As an uncircumcised male i feel like I'm the only one and everybody else is circumcised. Does anybody else feel like this? If so how do you convince everybody that your penis is just as normal as theirs? Don't bother trying. Enjoy your foreskin; it provides a great deal of pleasure on its own, and protects your tip from chaffing which, over time, reduces sensitivity. Plus, 'self time' is much more pleasurable, and also, it could be an interesting talking point for the fairer sex - appeal to their natural curiosity, and then reap the rewards!

Answer to:
Why do companies insist on packaging things in those clear plastic packages that you cannot open without scissors. Even then it's not easy getting to the object without cutting yourself. I cut my hand badly opening blow dryer. Can't they just use a box? Yes, as answered I reckon it's to reduce theft. Often a tag or other device is sealed up in that packaging, which is deliberately hard to remove. Nice one store thieves, way to ruin it for everyone.

Answer to:
Is there any particular trick to opening those ridiculous electronics packages, like for calculators and walkmen, or is it just scream, Use a sharp, stout pair of scissors, or a sharp Stanley knife (very carefully) and cut off one side and the top (or bottom) of the heat welded strip. With a side and an end open, you can often winkle out the contents. Beware the razor sharp cut edges and corners, though!

Answer to:
My Motorolla C168 indicates charging when connected to charger/power but no matter how long connected the battery charge indicator on the phone remain low; in other words no charging realized. What could be the problem, the phone or the battery? Could be either. Remove one variable at a time - try and borrow a known-good battery from a friend or repair shop and run it flat, then perform a complete charge cycle. This should localize the fault to the 'phone or the battery.

Answer to:
How long should I charge a new cell phone battery? Always consult the manufacturer's instructions. They selected the battery chemistry and designed the charging circuitry, so they should know what's best for that particular device. Also if you have to make a claim, you're on solid ground if you followed the instructions explicitly and still have a problem.

You'll either burn out the adapter if it's a cheap one, or damage/destroy the battery. Get hold of a proper battery charger for that type of battery (i.e. lead acid, nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal-hydride) as they all have different charging requirements. Deviating significantly from the required charging parameters can, at best, lead to expensive damage, and at worst to explosion, injury...

Under certain atmospheric conditions, the radio signal can bounce between the earth and the ionosphere (charged atmospheric layer) repeatedly, greatly extending the normal line-of-sight range of the transmitter. This effect is often observed at night.

Answer to:
On a transistor specification sheet you notice that the beta is specified as 100. you would expect a current of 1mA in the base circuit to produce ? in the collector. Beta is the DC current gain for the transistor. The collector current is the product of the base current multiplied by the gain figure (beta). So for beta=100, the collector will drive 100 times the base current, i.e. 100x1mA=100mA or 0.1A.

Answer to:
Why current leads in a capacitor?and voltage lead in an inductor? The voltage across a capacitor is proportional to the charge it carries. Current must flow into the capacitor to increase the charge, and as a result, the voltage developed across it rises. Think of the capacitor like an empty bucket, with the level of water representing the voltage. You must add more water before the level (voltage) rises, and so the voltage lags behind the current, or the...

This 0.5V variation is about 30% of the LED forward voltage (typically 1.5V at If 30mA for a standard red LED) so the brightness of the LED will vary greatly, depending on the state of charge of the cell.

Get hold of a new or used wireless router. If your laptop has wireless already, that's all you should need. But be careful, you want a pure router, not the more common modem/router which only has a telephone jack for the DSL line. I reckon your NTL modem will have a network connector on the back for data, which patches into your wireless router directly, which is why you want the pure...

My Laptop has been on its way out for a while and it finally went 'poof' and exploded the other day I want to take it to a shop to see if they can rescue anything from my Hard drive but am not sure where to go - needs to be around central any idea's? Depending on what failed, you can do it yourself fairly easily by stripping down your ex-laptop and removing the hard drive. Google your model no. + "service manual" for the service manual - you only need a selection of screwdrivers and a little patience after that. If you have a desktop PC you only need an 3.5"-5.25" adapter cable to be able to mount your laptop drive in...

Is there any hope at all of recovering the data of a hard drive whose laptop went for a swim? Potentially, yes - depending on how much money you want to spend. How long was the laptop immersed, and to what depth? If the disk drive didn't flood internally, and is still electrically intact, recovery is simple. If the drive got wet internally, or fried as the laptop fused (e.g. salt or chlorine water) then it's a bit more tricky. As a last (and most expensive) resort, if the...

My Canon BJC 2110 printer has a new print head that came with color and black ink together. When I print a document, all I get is color and black squares where the text should be. How can I fix this?

Answer to:
With new cell phone batteries, do you have to fully charge them and drain them two or three times when first using them? It's good practice - often rechargeable cells only achieve their maximum capacity if 'exercised' initially this way. Check the manual; if it says to leave the batteries on charge for 12-16h for the first charge (example) then do it - the first few cycles are quite important.

Answer to:
Will freshly-charged rechargeable batteries lose that charge if those batteries sit unused in a drawer for two or three months? Yes - different chemistries are worse than others for self-discharge. Poor performers include nickel chemistries, but watch out - nickel cadmium batteries can also exhibit a 'memory' effect, whereby if they are only lightly discharged before recharging, they will only appear to hold the relatively small top-up charge. For this reason nickel batteries should be fully discharged before...

What heats faster sand or water I haven't tested it, so this is just a hypothesis, but as water is more dense (weighs more per litre) the molecules are closer together and can therefore transfer heat energy more rapidly.

The fuse is designed to blow and interrupt this fault current safely before serious damage can occur. Also, when the fault has...

Why when we take a neon lamp near a vandograph the lamp turns on? The high electric field strength near the dome of the Van de Graaff generator causes the neon gas inside the lamp to ionise (become conductive) and the weak current flowing through the air, neon lamp and to earth (via you) causes the ionised neon to glow. The closer you bring the lamp to the generator, the brighter it will glow or flash.

Would a power factor of less than one(1) cause a power measuring meter, like the one on my house, to run faster or slower? No, I'm 99% sure - they take PF into account when they design these meters, and have done so for years. In the old 'rotating disc' style meters, there's both a voltage and a current coil whose fields interact and drive the aluminium disc by induction, so the rotation is in effect the integral of V & I, recording real rather than apparent power.

How can I resist the voltage on my snowmobile (for my light) from 17 volts to 13 volts, DC? What can I use? Watch out! The ballast resistor mentioned served to limit current in the ignition coil windings (I think) which is a low current load. Your headlamp may well draw 4 or 5A. A resistor to drop from 17V to 12V at 4.5A would be 1.1 ohms, but the power dissipation in that resistor would be 23W, more than enough to glow red, even for a big one. Fixing, adjusting or replacing the voltage regulator...

Answer to:
If a device is rated for a certain number of Volts/Amps, can you use a source with the same Voltage that is higher in Amps? If I understand your question properly, then yes. If your device is a load, say, that drew 5A at 12V then it would be fine to connect it to a power supply of 12V even if that supply was rated at 50A, as your load will only draw a maximum of 5A. The danger comes in running a 12V load from a 15V 50A supply, if the load then drew an excessive (or fault) current then it could get the full 50A and...

When you switch over the multimeter to DC current, did you remember to shift the red lead from the voltage input to the current input?

I bought some NiMH batteries off eBay. They're said to be 2500 mAh. How do I know if that's true capacity? The multimeter can only measure mA, not mAh Again CDM191 is right.

How can I estimate how many times it should recharge my cell phone battery (760 mAh, 3.7volts)? Is there a formula I can use? It's a really bad idea to try and charge one lithium battery from another. Danger-free lithium battery charging relies on very tightly defined limits on voltage and current, controlled by specific, custom charging circuits. They are not like NiCd or NiMh cells where you could get away with a lot - if you grossly mis-treat lithium batteries they may vent or burn up violently. Google...

Answer to:
Some devices state that certain types of rechargeables should not be used. Why is this? Surely if the rechargeables have the same voltage and mAh ratings, the device won't know any difference from single-use batteries? I have seen really bad circuit designs which rely on the internal impedance of the cells to avoid disaster. Higher performance cells tend to have lower internal impedances and can therefore deliver much higher peak currents. In the case of shoot-through in a power drive bridge, this could be the difference between life and death for the power transistors. Hopefully this isn't the case for...

Pick a standard frequency-to-voltage IC (National, Linear etc) to produce an output voltage proportional to frequency, and run this to a linear bargraph IC, or a LED module array with the bargraph IC built in. Shout if you're still stuck.

What really heppens in a electric generator when the load is changed (Increased or decreased) As I remember, the fixed stator windings in the casing generate a standing field, and the rotating coils of the rotor couple energy out of this field through the torque provided by the engine. Slip rings transfer the induced rotor current (AC) out of the generator. The field (stator) current is increased for heavier loads and decreased for lighter loads, to overcome copper losses, maintaining...

How difficult would it be to construct a solar powered fluorescent ballast? If its possible, about how long would you be able to run the lights with a full days charge? The problem isn't in the ballast, but the continuity of supply. So long as you had plenty of storage, you could even use conventional 12V ballasts. The modern resonant high frequency designs are fairly efficient, but you could probably do a custom design based around maximal efficiency, but it would have to have a voltage comparator enable on the input so that it only ran when there was...

I have an acer laptop with vista home edition. When I scroll the curser across a page it will land on a site and go to it even tho I haven't clicked to go. Anyone know how to adjust? I can't find that certain setting. It's definitely in there, I'm sorry I can't remember exactly what it was, but in the end I think it was in the really basic control panel/mouse settings - try click-lock, or single/double click per tap, I got it in the end so persevere! Best I can do without the laptop here...

My old amd k6-2 400mhz,512mb ram is freezing when i play music and try to surf..Could this be a corrupted registry? or is it just not enough ram..It is at max for mother board..Any tips to fix it? Mmm, I suggest you do one, or the other! I might be wrong, but I seem to remember the K6 was AMDs response to the Intel Celeron, fairly lightweight on performance. I also remember that the K6-2 was reported to have serious floating-point problems, which won't help. 512Mb of RAM should be ample.. if you are playing music from a CD then make sure the audio cable is connected between your CD...

My kids left the ignition turned on overnight on my 2001 f350 & now it won't start. I have 2 brand new batteries & put them on charge, but will only turn over once and starts clicking. Charger says they are fully charged. Any ideas? Lead-acid batteries really hate being left flat, the plates sulphate up in no time. Lightly sulphated batteries can be recovered sometimes by heavy usage, but badly sulphated ones have had it. The terminal voltage will look fine, but as soon as you put a load on it, the terminal voltage plummets - you can try it with a headlamp bulb and a screwdriver if you're fearless! A good electronic...

A battery (AAA) "oozed" brown liquid in the the battery compartment of an igniter on a gas grill and now with a new battery the igniter won't work. How do I clean the "ooze" out of the battery compartment so that I can see if a new battery will work? Not sure vinegar's a good idea, it might well dissolve the goo, but being acetic acid in it's nature, it will continue to do as much damage (maybe more) than the ooze. Try plain water, or possibly alcohol and a paper towel. The battery terminals will almost certainly have been corroded. These corrosion products can insulate the terminals from the battery so you will need to carefully...

Answer to:
Is it possible to transform mini laptop speakers into speakers for my mp3 player (Zen) without a computer? The speakers only have a USB cable, so is there such a thing as an adapter for them for getting AC power and/or plugging into phono? I guess it would be technically possible, but impractical. The speakers receive the audio signal in digital format (as well as power) over the USB link. If you wanted to run these speakers from an analogue audio source (i.e phono or headphone socket) you would have to have an intermediate box that digitized the audio into USB format (simplistic) as well as providing power for the speakers from...

Answer to:
I would like to convert a 12VDC adapter made to plug into a cigarette lighter in a car to regular 9v or c or d cell batteries. Is it possible? Yes it is possible, but the plug-in car regulators have a very limited power capability, that is to say the current that they can safely deliver without melting (or limiting) is usually low, somewhere in the order of a few hundred milliAmps. If your D cell load needed a few amps, the plug-in regulator would either limit itself, shut down or simply burn up. For any load bigger than a mobile...

Answer to:
Speaking in regards to the 'core product'...what is the difference in rechargable and non-rechargable batteries? Both rely on a chemical reaction which takes place within the battery. The process of the chemical reaction produces a flow of electrons which passes from one terminal of the battery to the other via the load. When the load is in place, there is a path for the flow of electrons, and the reaction proceeds until the chemicals are 'used up' (in a stable state) at which point the flow of...

What are the frequently asked questions on Charge Pump IC? I think you need to clarify this question.

Answer to:
What would cause a battery (normal alkaline Energizer AA battery) to leak? Poor brand, reverse polarity, deep discharge, excessive temperature, attempts to recharge non-rechargeable cells - any of the above! Reverse polarity can arise not only from a battery in a pack being physically inserted backwards, but more commonly if an individual battery is of a lower capacity than the others (cheaper), or is already partially discharged then it goes flat before the others...

Answer to:
The battery on my portable dvd player is not keeping a charge so i was wondering if there was a way to make a new battery or to make a make shift charger to plug into the charger adapter. Here is the stats: DC in = 9v CAC Adapter:RFEA906W :CGR-H701 7.2v : Modern portable electronics are usually powered by rechargeable Lithium ion (or Lithium Polymer) batteries. The nominal cell voltage is 3.6V, so your 7.2V pack sounds like a lithium one. DO NOT ATTEMPT YOUR OWN CHARGER. Lithium batteries are delicate, and if miss-charged, are potentially very dangerous. If you use a charger for NiCd or NiMh or Lead-acid batteries, and manage to hook it up to...

Answer to:
I have a 9v battery and i want to use a <2v LED how do i lower the voltage of my battery to <2v? No, LEDs do not make fine resistors. They make fine LEDs, that's all. At about 1.5V forward voltage per LED, 6 LEDs in series would run from a 9V battery without a resistor. A standard LED will run at between 1.2V and 1.8V depending on colour and the selected drive current. In your case (1 LED + 9V battery)you need to lose about 7.5V at a current of (typically) 0.02A, so the nearest...

This message pops up everytime i try to play a movie i downloaded on demonoid.com-----Windows Media Player cannot play the file. The Player might not support the file type or might not support the codec that was used to compress the file.[WHAT'S A CODEC?] In addition to the previous response, multiple codecs are often bundled in packs, to give you a better chance of being able to play any given file. Try a Google search for 'codec packs' - examples include the Gspot pack and Matroska pack. Once installed on your PC the media player of your choice will use these filters to decode and display your file of choice. Visit the Microsoft site...
