• Hi , My laptop wont always turn on, it can take up to 30 mins to turn on by me constantly pushing the “on”
  

  The on button could be sticking - after 4 years of use I could see that happening.
  You probably wouldnt even notice it either if it was worn out.
  
  There could be dirt in the contacts, it could be a loose wire.
  
  Best thing to do is backup your data and bring it in to a repair shop and have them open up the case and try to figure it out. Keep in mind the cost for this could be 75+ dollars, even if they dont find anything. You may be better off going out and purchasing a 400-500 dollar laptop as an upgrade instead if you are having other issues with the computer.

• hello all
  

  Not to siderail the original posters message but…
  
  Think very, very hard about moving anywhere to the US from Europe right now. With the dollar devaluation against the British pound and the Euro, I dont think you would like it very much when you were offered any sort of ‘competitive” salary in the states. Now, if you have a decent amount of money saved up and you move here then you will probably do well.
  
  Even with the aggregate US housing prices dropping 12ish% over the last quarter, housing prices on both coasts are highly inflated and not anywhere close to what they are really worth. Couple the dropping home values and the governments inability to reduce the local taxes on homes, we have a terrible situation in which houses are worth very little (in most cases negative values of what they were originally paid for) but owners are still paying taxes on the inflated values.
  
  If you want to come to the US, wait a year then come in and buy asmuch real estate as you possibly can. In 7-10 years you will make a fortune when you resell.
  
  I could babble on and on…
  
  To the original poster:
  
  I’ve found, through experience, that you should go for the highest paying job first and foremost. Enjoying your jobis nice, but just taking a job for that reason is silly. I dont love or hate my job but I get paid very well and at the end of the day go home and dont think about it at all.
  
  It would be nice to “love” doing something as a career but I would rather get paid well and love being with my family.

• hey i got a 2 cycle gas mini pocket rocket and it has
  

  No operators manual?
  
  I would Google the make/model/year and see if you can find it on the manufacturers website. I really dont think you should use unsubstantiated information from this website. You may end up damaging the machine if you do something wrong.

• I came out of a long relationship recently.
  

  Ok…date him then but go out and date other people too.
  
  Dating one person does not and should never mean that you cant date other people. How will you ever know if this guy is “the one” if you cant compare him with 10 or 15 others? Youd go out and test drive a few different cars before you bought the one you wanted, right? A relationship is much more important than a car - you should do the same thing.
