If he always stares at you he probably likes you. Go say hi to him then run away awkwardly.

But it is the only way to know you terrible coward. Seriously, I have stories of asking chicks out and failing horribly and they're hilarious. Sucked at the time, but I don't regret any of them at all. I don't tell stories about the pretty chicks who I was afraid of, who may have liked me but I never even got up the nerve to talk to. Because that isn't funny, just depressing. Even though I'm happily married, I still very very much regret every risk I DID NOT take. You ask him out and you have two possible outcomes: 1) He says no. You don't go out. FAILURE 2) He says yes. You go out. SUCCESS Right now your only option is: 1) You don't ask him out. FAILURE Or you could just wait for him to ask you out. Meanwhile I just wait for my job to give me a raise without requesting it, wait for my friends to call me without me calling them and wait for my body to magically get in shape without exercising.

What's the policy and practice of listing medals from military service on your resume? Do I just say "Bronze Star, Purple Heart while in Navy" or what?

tendrilsfor20 posted:What's the policy and practice of listing medals from military service on your resume? Do I just say "Bronze Star, Purple Heart while in Navy" or what? Could depend on whether the resume is intended for civilian use or otherwise. Typically military resumes for civilian applications are demilitarized to a certain extent, while still showcasing the officer's work tactic and accomplishments. Most of the resumes we've accepted have something generic like, "received various commendations, medals, and honors in US Navy active duty." A line like this prompts the employer to ask about your commendations if it applies or if they feel it is beneficial to your hiring.

If your military service is a job you are detailing on your resume you would list them as achievements/awards like you would with any other job. I'll disagree with Slim though; do not list it in a generic way like that for anything really. A well formed resume should answer questions not create them.

I used to be able to keep Youtube from reloading videos when I changed to fullscreen by logging in and choosing it from the preferences. But now google has made it so that I have to log in with my google account it no longer can keep track of who I am apparently Is there some way to make YouTube not care about whether I am checked in with my mail account, and just keep me logged in?

I recently bought an iomega Prestige Portable Hard Drive for my pc. It seems to be having trouble transferring a large amount of files. WHen I transfer "My Documents" or "Music" folders, in the middle of transferring, windows will say that they can't locate the files, even though it is still there. I then have the option of clicking "Try again" but that does not work so I click skip. Then I try to drag the folder over to the drive again but the same thing happens. If I turn my computer off, unplug the drive, reboot and then start the transfer again, I can but eventually it will say again that windows cannot locate the files. My question is, is this a windows error or is the drive faulty? Is there anything that can be done?

Something that causes this a lot for me at work is if the files have really long names, the total path to them will be really long like: c:\users\knives and hot dust\my documents\my music\poo poo downloaded from napster 2000\britney spears metallica anthrax christina aguilera eminem -- whoomp there it is - full uncensored unreleased version NaPSTeRgOD.mp3 for some reason windows will let you save them and access/edit them just fine with huge path names but it shits when you try to copy them to another drive or share. Either the total path where you're copying from might be too big or the total path lenght to where you're copying to is too big. Probably the first, I can't imagine you're creating huge multilevel directory structures on your backup drive. What I usually do if that's the case is just move the whole my documents directory to c:\ then copy it to where I want from c:\, after that I move my documents back to where it should be. Might have to even move my music out of my documents to c:\ itself too. (this all might get weird with vista or 7 though) Also I *think* if you use xcopy from the command line it cares less about total path length than explorer. If that's not it you might have other problems, some AV programs stop copying cold if you try to copy inf files maybe others besides infs, could be a bad sector on either one of your drives. dunno.

NTFS, the file system that Windows uses, has a "Maximum Path Length" of 256 characters. This includes the folder names and the file's name; basically everything after "C:\". There's no good way around this, other than renaming your files to have shorter names. Way more technical information than you really care about

There's no good way around this, other than renaming your files to have shorter names. I have always thought this idea (though true) pretty hilarious. Clearly that can have longer path names because they exist. Why WIndows cannot deal with them through explorer is a confusing, because other programs can deal with them accurately. Clearly the flaw is with Explorer's way of seeing the files, not with NTFS, since the files can be accessed even when the unique identifier is past the 256 charcter limit. Two-Byte file names (Chinese, Japanese, etc) hit this limit faster, since there are some standard file locations that use up a good portion of the file name length limit. (Also, to the original questioner, you have the point of failure rear end-backwards. If you are failing to copy from your internal drive, then it is your internal drive that has problems, not the external).

Does it actually pay to buy liquor at the airport duty-free shop? Is it that much cheaper? I know there's no tax/duty, but do these shops make up for it by charging more for the product outright? I just want a bottle of nice whiskey.  possibly important side info: I'm a Canadian travelling to the UK

I noticed that European Ipad costs are about $250 higher than in the US. What if I bought a couple Ipads here, brought them to France and sold them on, making enough profit to cover my plane ticket? I'm sure there's some catch to stop this happening right? Last time I flew in to Paris customs was basically a rubber stamp, never asked me anything or looked in my bags.

If the drive is FAT-32 format, you need to reformat it to NTFS to remove the file size cap. However, the error you get usually tells you that and isn't the error you're getting. Try transferring like 3GB and see if it works.

I found an old friend of mine from traveling on facebook. His profile is set so that one can not send him friend requests. His email address I have is an old one from when he was working in Italy and it is now defunct. Am I as out of luck as I appear to be? I would love to see how he is. Oh, I am unable to view his friends to see if any mutual acquaintance from years ago could go between, even if I would feel comfortable approaching someone to do that, which I don't. He's an older guy, so I'm not sure if he is even aware that people are unable to contact him. I'm not all that familiar with facebook myself, so if I'm missing something please let me know  Umph fucked around with this message at 06:27 on Jan 23, 2011 |

I recently got back from a trip to New Zealand and ever since I've been back my Google searches are only always google.co.nz, and many times the first results are from New Zealand webpages, as well as the maps only searches New Zealand unless I specify a state or a country. Does anyone know how to fix this? I've messed around with the settings but have had no luck. Thanks.

Disregard that, it's not right. When you search there should be a thing to the left that says "Change Location". Click that and type in wherever you live. http://www.google.com/support/websearch/bin/answer.py?answer=179386&hl=en e: Though in your case it sounds like you're getting NZ Google from the searchbar? You might want to clear your cookies anyways and see if that helps. Worse case scenario you've removed some bloat and have to type in a few passwords again.
