It depends on the state, but in some locations a crushed can can not be returned for deposit/recycle. In the end, the cans are all melted down and reformed. However, during the first and second stages of recycling (person bringing cans to the recycle bin/company) in states without deposits...

So, I looked at the website... 1. 1 year of stocked food 2. 200 people, selected by the company from a pool of interested people, who will be allowed to purchase shares of a shelter. 3. The company provides administrative and security details. 4. "Owners" (the 200 people) will be given tasks...

A personal example of why the government must get involved... 1. My house is about 50 miles from the closest city with a population of 500k+, and 10 miles from the closest city with a population of 50k+. 2. The only cable tv provider in my area has not upgraded their cable lines in the area for...

ISPs, generally, want to keep customers as long as they don't use "too much" bandwidth. (Thus, if a user were to only download illegal files totaling 1 GB a month, the ISP would be happier with them than if they had downloaded 2 GB of legal content.) This is why ISPs want to switch to/begin...

Rab1d-BDGRNot strictly true. If you buy a retail upgrade to windows 7 then you will have 32 and 64 discs. If you bought a PC with Vista on it that came with a "Free win 7 upgrade" then the manufacturer will send their own disc out to you - which may only be for the 32 bit version (and charge you...

When I last messed with DOSBox (a year or 2 ago), I still ran into some hardware compatibility issues. (Example: Railroad Tycoon... the original that came on a 3.5" floppy.) The game's sound only works with certain pre-built sound settings... and the graphics function the same way. As a...

jfem, there are many reasons that you could be having the issue you describe. However, if you look at this link: http://www.cnclabs.com/cnc3/system-requirements.aspx You'll notice that Vista 64 bit wasn't supported at game launch. Thus, unless something has changed since then, you have a...

Enriguecano, if you view the available amount of ram via Control Panel\System on a 32 bit XP installation, it only shows the amount of ram that XP can use. (Example: Your 3 GB available versus 4 GB installed.) With 32 bit Vista installations, this was changed by Microsoft to allow Control...

The Honda fit is not a hybrid, thus the reason I bought one in 2007. (I didn't want to have to replace a US $5,000 battery around 120k miles, and/or suffer from the electronic system failures of the early Toyota Prius.) The Honda Insight wasn't an option in 2007, and the VW and Mini cost too...

Except for businesses that have used "mobile" products to force their employees to work more hours. Example: a. Employee works 8-5 at the office with an hour long lunch. b. Employee, during his drive to/from home, is called due to emergencies at the office. c1. Employee, not paying as much...
