how do I get started with bluetooth on my at&t cell phone, its is a samsung ?


It all depends on what you want to do with it (tether, sync with PC, file transfer, etc) and if your phone and carrier will support it. The best place to start researching is HowardForums and look in either the Samsung Forum or the ATT Forum on the site.

I don't promote the site very much, if any at all. It is more of a little project of mine to learn PHP and MySQL.

When will apple turn off the iTunes DRM Server?


You must have seen the latest news about Wal-Mart shutting down it's DRM servers much like Sony, MSN and Yahoo! all have done in the past. All more reason to buy your music DRM free on CDs or somewhere like the Amazon MP3 Store. With the number of song downloads the iTunes store has done it would be hard for them to just ditch all of their customers. I think Apple would have to come up with a deal like Yahoo! did, where they gave the users credit to download the DRM free version of the songs.

Is it true that you can sell anything for $1? Or is it possible to get more than $1?


Two key ideas here: Micropayments and Impulse Purchase. Charge a little for something basic and people will buy it without thinking. The more you charge, the number of potential buyers decreases. Look at the value menu at your favorite fast food restaurant. How much is that song on iTunes?

Is heated gas more combustible?


I would have to say, YES. Your gasoline car engine uses a combination of heat, pressure, and a little spark to ignite the fuel. Diesel engines just use heat and pressure (no spark plugs in a diesel engine). Your engine will run better and you can get better millage when your car is warmed up. If you just have a can of gas it is the vapors that burn. So if the can is sitting in the sun with a little spark near by, then good bye.

Why does my iTunes randomly wipe out my entire iTunes library and label it as damaged?


Well, you should always back up your iTunes library so you can go back to a back-up copy. Technically you should make routine back-up of all of your personal/important data. iTunes saves all of your ratings, playlists, and other organization of the library in the iTunes libary file. This file is located by default in [USER PROFILE]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library on Mac and [USER PROFILE]/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl on Windows.

Craigslist would be my first choice. You can meet the buyer and test the laptop out before buying, best of all no shipping. You can always try PennySaver or even the newspaper classifieds.

What is the differance between 's s' and just plain ole s?


First of all I think you meant "What is the difference between 's s' and just plain ole s?".
The apostrophe indicates possession.
's is used with a singular noun that has possession. "Michelle's car" means there is one Michelle who has a car.
s' is used with plural noun that has possession. "Michelles' car" mean there are many Michelles who have a car. If the thing that has possession does not end in "s" then just 's is used. Women's car.
s is used to make a singular noun plural. One Michelle, many Michelles. Sometimes the plural does not have an "s". 1 woman, many women.

How do can I calculate the capacity of a sewer pipe?


With the Manning's Equation Where: Q = flow, V = velocity, A = wet area, k = constant 1.49, n = manning roughness coefficient, P = wet perimeter, and S = slope of the pipe. So if you calculate the equation with a full pipe you can determine the full flow capacity of the pipe.

Why does thin crust pizza cost more than regular crust pizza?


Making of the thin crust pizza is not taught until at least the second, usually the third, year of pizza school. And most pizza makers barley make it through the first year. They might have plans to go back, but very few actually do. Therefore, a thin crust pizza maker makes more money than one who can only make regular crust pizzas. This causes the higher price for thin crust pizzas.
