Your Questions About Facebook

Mark asks…

How to treat your Facebook account after you die in a couple of years?

How to treat your Facebook account after you die in a couple of years? What will happen to your Facebook account after you die in a couple of years?

Michelle answers:

It’ll eventually become inactive and stay in Facebook’s servers for all of eternity.

Joseph asks…

Is facebook really going to start charging money?

I just read some things about Facebook charging money to use it! Is this true, or just a scam?

Michelle answers:

This is a stupid scam that goes around every few months. Facebook is and always will be free. They make money from advertisers. If they charged, I would guess 40-50% of users would leave the site, their ad revenues would go down, their advertisers would find another site to advertise on, and their profits would fall. Facebook is never going to charge users – that would be committing financial suicide

Susan asks…

How did something as inane and pointless as Facebook manage to take over the world?

Every company has a Facebook, every food product has a Facebook

everyone has a Facebook, except me. So tell me,

Whats the appeal? It must be something that you can’t do with email, instant messengers or a telephone.

Michelle answers:

I love facebook!!!!

Chris asks…

How can i get my facebook to switch to the new messaging system?

For some reason my facebook does not transfer my chat messages to my inbox as most peoples facebooks do. How do i get my facebook to update and make this switch?

Michelle answers:

I’m having the same problem, but you can’t change it.. It changes automatically when Facebook likes to ^_^

In firefox 3, i do any search it loads all my favourites in the search bar and obscures my view. Limited use and unlimited annoyance. How can I get rid of it.

Michelle answers:

Daniel asks…

How do I reduce the CPU usage of Firefox?

I use Firefox and I love it. Until now, I have had no problem with it, however recently I get messages saying that it has a very high CPU usage and my browser will freeze at random times, sometimes even when I only have one tab open. Does anyone know if there is an easy way to fix this?

Michelle answers:

There is a little add-on call Memory Fox, which when installed will help reduce the amount of CPU usage the browser uses. You can download the latest version, which is version 7.4, at the link below.

Https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/memory-fox/

Also, tweaking your Firefox browser will help reduce the amount of CPU usage the browser uses.

First, check your add-ons. Go to Tools, then add-ons and in the “Extension” tab uninstall or disable any add-on that you don’t use. This includes Java Quick Starter and Microsoft .NET Framework Assistance.

Second, while in add-ons, go to the “Plugins” tab and disable any plugins that cause your browser to slow down. In particular these tree.

-Adobe Acrobat, which bring up PDF files from websites onto your browser. Turning it off will prevent this and your PDF files will open externally.

-get Plus for Adobe. This is not needed.

-Java Platform

-Java Deployment Toolkit (any version)

-MetaStream

-Microsoft DRM

-QuickTime Plugin, which allows you to view QT video on websites

-Realtime HTML 5 Video Shim Plugin

-Shockwave for Director

-Window Media Player Plug-in Dynamic Link Library

and finally, Window Presentation Foundation.

All of the above is not needed.

Third, you can tweak Firefox to run faster on your computer. The link below is video on how to do it.

Don’t forget to restart Firefox in order for the changes to take effect.

Fourth, if you download files into your computer, go to Tool then Download and delete to files from the download list.

If you don’t want to have any download file in the status bar in the future, go to Tools, then Option. Click on the “Privacy” icon and unchecked the box that says “Remember Download History.”

Finally, always, always clean out your recent history, that way Firefox can work faster. Try doing every two weeks or every month, it’s up to you. If you don’t how to clean out your browsing history, the video link below will show you how.

If your browser is leaking memory, the link below will be very helpful with the problem.

Http://windhair1000.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-fix-firefox-memory-leak.html

This measure works well with all versions.

I hope this information is very helpful.

Good luck and happy browsing

Ruth asks…

How can download firefox without getting rid of my internet explorer?

I downloaded firefox and i removed it because everytime i download it it gets rid of my internet explorer and i need them both.

So how could i download firefox with it not getting rid of my internet explorer?
can you give me a link of where or how?

Michelle answers:

Hi there,

if you go to www.firefox.com you can download the web browser from there. Downloading and installing this will not remove IE, however firefox may ask to be your default browser. It is ok for this to be the default if you plan to use Firefox more than IE. Once installed both will be on your system and can be used simultaneously if need be.

Good Luck,

Thanks!

Your Questions About Fox News

Robert asks…

Why is Fox News to conservatives the same as crack is to drug addict?

You can tell this by Fox News high ratings among the less informed.

Michelle answers:

Fox News and Conservatives share a symbiotic relationship, they continuously stroke each others egos, and one cannot survive without the others positive reinforcement.

Lizzie asks…

How does Fox News get away with using the “Fair and Balanced” tagline?

No law firm is willing to challenge them? Fox news is clearly misleading viewers with that statement. Obviously they have a right to support the Republican agenda but to present themselves as “Fair and Balanced” is ridiculous.
Actually “Opinionated and Right”, you are incorrect. A business cannot market themselves “in anyway they want” if they are misleading the public. That was my point. I don’t mind the political views but the misleading tagline is ridiculous and actionable in court. Just like any other business that cannot make false claims about their products Fox news needs to change “Fair and Balanced” to something else. They are not fair or balanced by presenting only right-wing view points while other media outlets lean left.
Dear WhatBrain,

These “confirmed University studies” you speak of, they are posted where exactly? Which schools have confirmed that Fox news is balanced? Please enlighten me….

Michelle answers:

They can market themselves in any manner they choose. How do you prove they are not fair and balanced since those words can be interpreted to mean many different things? It could be argued that they are fair and balanced because they present both sides of an issue and allow Democrats on their programs to argue for the liberal side even thought they are outnumbered and controlled in the argument by the hosts. It could also mean that they make the entire argument fair because they show the counterweight to balance the media with extreme liberal stations like MSNBC. Only the most partisan viewers would argue that Fox News is centrist and does not tilt to the right but proving that they are not fair and balance in a court of law is a completely different issue.

Steven asks…

Why was Fox news not allowed to attend a recent press conference held by Hillary Clinton?

The press conference involved the goings on in Libya. Doesn’t the current administration understand that doing things like this just hurts their cause? Now Fox news is all over it, saying whatever they want truth or not, because they weren’t there.

Michelle answers:

Fox news doesn’t publish her TALKING POINTS and articles as SHE writes them. They want THE TRUTH.

Hillary can’t handle the truth. Hillary and 0bama LIED about Libya and now everyone knows it.

Mark asks…

Why are liberals unable to point to any retractions made by Fox News?

Could it be because Fox News has never had to issue any retractions?

Michelle answers:

Its amusing to me how so many hate FOX News but none of them watch it.

Your Questions About Fafsa

Thomas asks…

What should I do with my FAFSA application if my parents have not yet filed a tax return?

We have just migrated to the U.S 2 years ago and have never filed a tax return or any kind of similar documents. However, we are going to file one soon. What should I do with my FAFSA in this case ?

Michelle answers:

Follow the instructions on the application. Either wait to file until they do their taxes or estimate it based on their other financial documents and correct it once they file. Make sure you qualify for aid before stressing about how to fill out the application though. Www.fafsa.ed.gov

Mark asks…

What happens if you miss the fafsa deadline?

So tomorrow is the deadline for the fafsa, but when i went to fill it out today i had to change my pin #. Then when i logged back in it said it would take 3 days before i can use my new pin, which means i will miss the fafsa deadline. So what exactly does that mean? Can i still apply for scholorships and grants if my fafsa is late? Can i still sign up for classes? Or am i completely screwed? Please help!

Michelle answers:

It means you don’t get your money unless you talk to the federal aid reps at the college you’ve chosen and ask them for an extension which they may give for you.

Laura asks…

How do you fill out the student financial part of the fafsa?

I’m trying to put in my own student financial information into the fafsa, however, my parents want to fill out their information at a later time. As of now, it forces me to enter parental information first. Is there a way to put my own information first and have them fill out their information later?

Michelle answers:

Lol, put in random information and move on to the next section. You can always go back and change the answers before you submit it.

William asks…

Is there any other way to receive financial aid rather than FAFSA?

I do not know if my FAFSA will be accepted, and if it does not, I would like to know if there are any other options to look at for aid. Thank you.

Michelle answers:

There are 4 major places to find financial aid
1) The FAFSA – which you already completed
2) State aid – depending on which state you live in there may be both need based and non-need based financial aid that you may qualify for. The financial aid office at the school(s) you are looking at can give you information on the state financial aid.
3) The third source is institutional financial aid. This would be need based aid provided by your university, or merit based aid based on your test scores/academic achievements. It is very important to meet with a financial aid officer at your school. Some scholarships have separate applications.
4) The last source is outside scholarships (provided by 3rd party organizations). There are numerous search engines online. Check with your employers, your parents employers, friends employers, etc.

Your Questions About Food Network

Daniel asks…

I would like the Food Network recipe for S’mores Brownies?

For some reason I have not been able to access Food Networks web page. I want that dang brownie recipe! lol Can you post it for me?

Michelle answers:

Crust:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups crushed graham cracker crumbs
2 tablespoons sugar
Pinch fine salt
Brownie:
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
1 cup packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
4 large cold eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour

Topping:
4 cups large marshmallows

Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and heat oven to 325 degrees F. Line an 8 by-8-inch square baking pan with foil so it hangs over the edges by about 1 inch.
For the crust: Lightly butter the foil with some of the melted butter. Stir the rest of the butter together with the crumbs, sugar, and salt in a medium bowl. Press the crumb mixture evenly over the bottom of the pan. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the brownie. Put the butter and chocolate in a medium microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on 75 percent power for 2 minutes. Stir, and microwave again until completely melted, about 2 minutes more. Alternatively, put the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with 1 inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan without touching the water. Stir occasionally until melted. Stir the light brown and white sugars, vanilla and salt into the melted chocolate. Add the eggs and beat vigorously to make a thick and glossy batter. Add the flour and stir until just incorporated.

Pour batter into the prepared pan. Bake until the top is crispy and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean, with a few crumbs, about 40 to 45 minutes.

Remove from the oven and carefully position a rack about 6 inches from the broiler and preheat on low. Layer marshmallows across the top and toast under the broiler until golden, (keep an eye on it, it can go quick), about 2 minutes. Cool on a rack, gently removing the brownies from the pan using the aluminum flaps. Carefully separate any marshmallow from the foil and fold away. Cut into 12 (2-inch) squares.

Your Questions About Fedex

Donald asks…

How hard is it for fedex to send something to another address?

If I need to have fedex change the shipping address on a package going to the same state but to a new address how hard is it to get them to find the package and correct it when the order has not even gone out yet? Is it likely they can correct it and have it sent to the right address?

Michelle answers:

How hard? Not *all* that hard – but the package may very well be delayed – and Fedex will very likely charge a re-routing fee (usually around $11) to the shipper.
Some shippers have agreements with Fedex that no recipient can call in to make a re-route or address correction – that the shipper has to authorize any such change.
A few shipper even have agreements with Fedex that *no-one* (not even someone from the shipper!!) can make any changes – – and that at *most* they can request the package be returned to shipper (RTS).
If the order hasn’t gone out, then there is no need to contact Fedex – – Fedex doesn’t have the package yet!! Contact the shipper – have the *shipper* change the address, *now* – before they send out any package. Maybe save yourself a few bucks.

Once a package has left the shipper, the simplest way to get around the new address issue (if you haven’t moved far) is to have Fedex hold the package at their stattion or at one of their retail locations (Fedex Office). Then you just have to go *there* and show an ID from the old address.

Robert asks…

How often does FedEx update their tracking results?

I recently bought a computer and it is being shipped to me in Boston via FedEx. It left the Dell Warehouse in North Carolina on Friday, and that is the last place it says it has been for the last two days. Does FedEx just not update their systems often, because I know UPS has tracking updates everyday.
Thanks a lot! It says it should be here on Tuesday.
And I’m not staring at it… I was just wondering why it hasn’t been updated in 2 days.

Michelle answers:

From what I’ve seen, FedEx locations are event driven rather than time driven and run on the departure side, not on arrivals.

Your likely next event will be when it leaves the FedEx delivery location in your area Monday morning.

It likely arrived in Boston area somewhen Saturday, but there is no delivery on Sunday unless extra was paid, so the next delivery day is Monday.

🙂

Nancy asks…

What playoff style did the PGA tour have before the FedEx Cup?

I know the FedEx Cup is the current format, but before the FedEx cup, did the season just end?

Michelle answers:

The Fedex Cup is the first playoff system for golf. They did it because after the PGA Tour Championship was over people wouldn’t tune in as much to the rest of the golf tournaments for the rest of the year. The PGA tour needed their ratings to go up so they started the FedEx cup to add some drama to the end of the season so more people would tune in. Also, the FedEx cup makes playing in and also winning tournaments more important.

Mark asks…

How am i going to get my parcel from dhl or fedex if i’m always not at home daytime?

I recently intended to something online, they will use DHL or Fedex to deliver the goods to me but my worry is how will the DHL or Fedex do the delivery if I’m not at home? Usually i will not be at home during daytime, any recommendations to me how am i going to do if i wish to buy goods online? Thanks for your suggestions.

Michelle answers:

For FedEx:

Depending on where you live (house, apt) and the area, many deliveries are left for you whether you’re home or not.
Unless the shipper requests a signature or you live in a high-traffic area a signature will probably not be required. If an indirect signature is required, you can either sign the doortag after an attempt has been made, or leave a note asking to driver to leave your delivery – let him know where – and sign it. It will be waiting for you.

You also have the option of calling 800-GO-FEDEX and having your package diverted to where you will be or sent to a FedEx Office/Kinko’s location where you can pick it up at your leisure.

Good luck!

Your Questions About Forever 21

Mary asks…

How much does the average shirt cost at forever 21?

i have 50 $ and i need to go get some shirts, i was trhinking forever 21 cause i love that store, but how many shirts could i get with 50 $?

Michelle answers:

It depends on the style of the shirt. If you check out their Tops page…:
http://www.forever21.com/category.asp?catalog_name=FOREVER21&category_name=top&Page=1
You’ll see that most of the shirts are around $10, but some of the fancier ones range into the $20s.
So they are $10-$20, or sometimes less or more than that. You could get about three shirts I guess. It really depends on your choice, though.

Jenny asks…

What stores do you know of that are like Forever 21?

I absolutely love Forever 21!! They have the cutest clothes and awesome prices!! Do you know of any other stores like them? I am specifically looking for cute summery dresses.

Michelle answers:

Urban Outfitters is quite a bit more expensive, but has amazing clothes. Their stuff is probably a bit trendier and more unique looking that Forever 21’s.

H&M is great as well. They get new clothes in really frequently, and have a lot of stuff that looks designer-ish or is inspired by more expensive lines. Its about the same price as Delia’s.

Charlotte Russe and Papaya also have cute clothes at the same price as Forever 21. Papaya has a lot of summery outfits that are really cheap. Charlotte Russe’s style can be a little more ‘scene.’

Department stores such as Macy’s or Dillards will probably have similar clothing as well, and its usually on sale for pretty cheap.

Old Navy’s stuff isn’t as cute as Forever 21’s in my opinion, but its very cheap.

Finally, Target always has really cute clothes, especially for summer, that are inexpensive.

David asks…

What should i get for my girl friend from forever 21?

So my girlfriends birthday is coming up i heard forever 21 has some cute necklaces what should I get her? She’s 14 very growned up tho.

Michelle answers:

Why don’t you try this website instead of forever 21…

Www.tokenofmylove2u.com

They have unique necklaces for everyone. They are updating their inventory this week so it depends on when you need it…or else you could probably wait till they update their store.

There’s the – “purple key to my heart necklace” that would be suitable for anyone.

Or…if she likes simple …. Probably one of these would work..

1. Ball pendant long necklace
2. Eternal cycle necklace
3. Pink heart necklace

Hope you’ll find something nice there 🙂

William asks…

How old do you have to be to work at forever 21?

How old do you have to be to work at forever 21?
Im 16 and have a workers permit but I have no former job experiences besides working at my dads office. At what age do they hire? I also live in tucson arizona if it matters?

Michelle answers:

I live in Virginia and here you must be 16 and older to apply to forever 21

How can I more easily find friends and family on facebook without a facebook?

I dont have a Facebook, however I still want to see the pages of my friends and family, however whenever i search for them on the internet, I always just get other people with the same names, and I cant seem to find a search thingy on the Facebook login page. Any tips?

That’s going to be a challenge without actually getting a Facebook account. Aside from the search trouble you’ve cited, most Facebook pages are restricted so that only certain amounts of info are visible without you actually being friends with the person through Facebook.

Can I delete Facebook and still access my yahoo fantasy basketball team?

I registered for my fantasy basketball league using just my Facebook login. I want to delete Facebook now but whenever I do that i can’t access my team anymore. Is there a way to transfer it to a yahoo ID? Thanks for the help!

Your team is tied to your login. I think that it was terrible of Yahoo to do that but more people equal more ad dollars,

Good luck.

What does Facebook use to let the users upload things like games, and applications to their website?
