• (1 vote) How do you block a WiFi internet signal in your house?
  

  When you’re connected, double-click that flashing monitor. Click View Wireless Networks. Click on the troublesome network, and click Disconnect. Now it won’t connect to that automatically.

• Am I the only person who doesn’t like the “upside down” bottle of Ketchup?
  

  I think the neck on the “right-side up” one helps get the ketchup out much better than the “upside-down” bottle!

• My new laptop’s hard drive is corrupted!
  

  [quote ymisofin]Look up data recovery in the yellow pages, but know that this can be quite expensive depending on how screwed up your hard drive is. You could also make friends with that computer geek from school you were always making fun of and see if he can do it for free.
  
  Your other option is to get an external enclosure for your laptop drive and hook it up to another PC that is running some recovery software like R-studio. This will be able to look at the data on the hard drive even though it is corrupt and unstructured. You can then copy the data to another hard drive and save it. Most recovery software will let you see the data for free but then to actually recover it you’ll need to purchase the software (usually between $30 - $60 for standard recovery software).[/quote]
  
  I’m friends with computer geeks, but they know more about software than the actual inner workings, so I’ll try the last option you listed. If that fails, I’ll save up and do the other option. Thank you!
  
  [quote The Clue]Data recovery is expensive. You said that you have had it for 4 months, take it back to where you bought it. It should be still under warrenty and have them fix it. They should be able to get the data back when they fix it. Hope this helps :-)[/quote]
  
  I bought it at Best Buy…and my first post says what happened there.
  
  [quote spiratec9]if the hardrive still works then a data recovery program will work.[/quote]
  
  No, the hard drive isn’t still working. I tried to do a recovery and it couldn’t even find my drivers.

• What do you think of the (boy) name Azlan?
  

  I think it sounds like a good name.
  He might get some “Isn’t that the lion from The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe?” comments though.

  The chat (Google Talk) is on the left side. To use it, double-click on the name of the contact you want to chat with. If you want you can add your AIM buddies to it.
