Oh, I think that's system dependent. So you'd have to change the Locale settings in the OS.

Wait, I've never had to input dates with the year first. I usually just do mm-dd and it converts it properly as long as it's a date field.

You can change your locale to English (UK) and it has that backwards format. You still enter 02/01/11 for Feb 1, 2011, and it'll display it backwards (2011-02-01). If you entered 11/2/1 it'll give you 2001-02-11.

Change the locale right below the date format in the Format Cell options.

Can the prison system force prisoners to take programs within the prison? Such as substance abuse programs or violence prevention programs?

Or is it entirely the prisoners decision?

I think it's 50/50. Sometimes it's a part of their sentencing.

I think he's referring to it being replaced by "image not available" text, which only seems to happen for some people. As far as I can tell, it's browser dependent, but I don't know why that's the case.

So I'm trying to set a site using Blogger and no matter what I do when I view the blog I always get a "}" in the footer. So, it'll look like this

}Using blah blah blah template. Powered by Blogger.

Seriously. I've deleted the blog and started a new template, started with fresh HTML, can't find it. What gives?

Is the Dave Matthews song "You and Me" on a recent movie soundtrack? I'm positive it is, and google isn't being helpful.

It was used in the TV show "Eureka", but other than that, Google and Wikipedia say no.

How do you check how much space you have on HDD on PS3?

In the Settings tab, scroll to "System Settings," then then down to "System Information." Once you select that it'll tell you how much free space you have remaining on your HDD, as well as various other information. :)
 
Is there a way to access the Itunes U library without itunes?

extra question: is there a way to watch itunes U videos in fullscreen?
 
Okay. Thanks guys.

I don't have a wired 360 controller so won't be able to do that.

MotioninJoy seems simple enough though. I just need to download the drivers, buy a bluetooth adapter and follow the tutorial. It says Windows 7 is recommended but I assume XP will give me no problems?

Any recommendations on the best bluetooth adapter to use?

Can't you just use the USB controller power cord?
 
I don't know. I wouldn't want to if I could though. I have an adapter to use a PS2 pad already.

I want to play wireless now. I'm moving on up in the world!

I wouldn't think wired would matter when you're sitting that close, but to each his own.

I tend to sit around six feet away.

I would probably still go wireless even if close. My chair is around two feet from my monitor. This is the minimum distance I sit away from the screen. I'd have to sit closer if I was using the USB cord that comes with the PS3 because my tower is to a side.

To put it bluntly, it'd be far too uncomfortable for me to even consider.
 
This isn't a stupid question, but I don't feel like it needs a thread. I've had strep since yesterday, and I made the mistake of drinking hot tea this morning, and now I'm in excruciating pain everytime I swallow or somehow touch the back of my throat. Should I tough it out or go to the hospital?

Tough it out, if the problem persists go to a doctor. Eat some natural youghurt.

My Q;
What do you do when someone asks for your number and you don't really want to give it to them and don't want to be a dick about it?
 
I started working in a new place this week, and I think I made a rather good impressions and all, they even gave me some more advanced tasks and all.
But yesterday I felt like crap and later in the evening I had a 38.2 fever - and this morning it was nearing 39 so I called in sick.
I feel weird about it because it's my fourth day, and I don't want to ruin the good impression I made...
Would you guys have done the same? Some of my friends told me to just go, but considering I rush to the bathroom every hour to try and throw up I'm glad I didn't listen to them.

Sample 1: I don't really like talking on the phone.

Sample 2: I think it's better if we stick to face to face conversations.

Sample 3: No.


In Firefox if you have a video playing in one window that's not on top and your cursor rolls over the window, the window will switch to being on top. Is there a way to turn that off?

If you're as good as you say you are, I wouldn't worry. It wouldn't hurt to get a doctor's note though if possible.
 
My friend has a problem. (Microsoft word related)

He wrote a 2,000 word essay a couple days ago and he saved it over an existing 'class notes' document he had. The essay is due for a class tomorrow. He opened the 'class notes' document today and the original document just pops up with no essay at all. He saved over the original document many times while writing the essay. It seems now as if the essay never existed. Is there any way he could recover the missing document with his essay?

Depends, do you want to rotate a still image (png, jpg, jpeg, etc) or an animated one (gif)?

For non-gif: If you just want to rotate it 90/180/270 degrees, open it in MS paint (or any photo editting software) and hit the rotate button.
For a gif: try this http://www.norio.be/blog/2009/05/rotating-animated-gif

I was thinking in more of the sense that when i hear someone say "my avatar rotates" it switches between different ones.

Oh, in that case, you just need to make your own gif with the avatars you want to use. A very simple-to-use (and free) program is Microsoft GIF Animator. You can set the order and how long each one displays for. If you need something more complex, just google for "gif maker", "gif creator", or "gif animator".

If you want it to be just one avatar per page load or for a certain amount of time, it becomes a lot more complicated. You would need a place to host a web script (such as php) that could pick and display the avatar based on certain parameters. I doubt anybody actually has their avatar set up like this? [apparently, there are sites that do this for you, see Alucrid's post below.]

There are also sites that'll randomly generate images you upload as your avatar.

Give them a fake number, give them your Google Voice number (if you have one), or tell them that you don't have a phone; you still carry a pager.
:lol
